2:01 am
engulfed in political and economic crisis period gets its president in the span of a week and al jazeera obtains recordings of one of the world's most wanted men, trying to negotiate immunity from prosecution. within factions surging worldwide and government struggling to respond. there's been another dose of hope in the battle against covert 19 u.s. pharmaceutical firms will durness says interim results from trials show its vaccine looks to be 94.5 percent effective in preventing the virus. it's a really important milestone in the fight against the pandemic, because it demonstrates that our magaziner morning 73 is able to prevent cope with 90 disease including severe disease. and it's really just a milestone. we have
2:02 am
a lot of work ahead of us knowing the vaccine is going to be effective is great news, but we still need to complete the regulatory process, which involves completing the study, generally more to follow safety. and then of course, we need to get busy manufacture, fellow drug make a fire reported similar results a week ago, 1000 percent effectiveness. both plan to regulate us for emergency approval within weeks. well, health organization says it's encouraging, but big questions remain. its warning more data is needed on potential side effects and how long the vaccinations offer protection. well, the man at the forefront of the united states pandemic response has also expressed similar sentiments. the virus is not going to stop and call a time out while things change the virus is just going to keep going. the process
2:03 am
is just going to keep going. this is something that just is now going in the very, very strong right direction. the vaccines are effective, we want to get it approved as quickly as we possibly can. we want to get doses to people starting in december, and then we want to really get the ball rolling as we get into january, february, and march. we want to smooth process for that and the way you do that is by essentially having the 2 groups speak to each other and exchange information. well, our very own allan fishes in washington. alan given the explosion encoded that we're seeing in america the moment this news from madonna will have been a welcome. you know, you've got to realize the backdrop that the announcement has been made. you're talking about 1000000 cases just in the last 6 days. you're talking about death rate of more than a 1000 a day for more than a week. you're talking about states that are reintroducing a lot. don't start placing restrictions on the number of people that can gather peace in curfews, on bars and restaurants. some of them are closing down schools,
2:04 am
so it sure is just how desperate the situation is here. certainly people have been looking for a glimmer of hope from somewhere. they got something last monday, but the news that this back scene is coming along could be even better news than the announcement last week. because what mcdonough is saying is that this is a longer shelf life. it can also survive at room temperature for anything up to 12 hours. that means it's more easily transported, that means doctors offices, knox's offices, can be used to inject the vaccine. and also they're talking about getting $20000000.00 doses of vaccines out to front line workers. and those more risk by the end of the year. so many people, including onto the folks you were talking about, perhaps a vaccine early next year. and he thought then that would be an ambitious time line . what he's saying now is, this is good news, but still warning. there are real problems ahead and people shouldn't start
2:05 am
throwing away their masks, thinking that we're all going to be safe in a few months. there's still a long way to go. and i'm covered, of course, has had a real impact on the u.s. economy and unemployment. today we have from president elect biden, outlining his economic battle plan. what more can you tell us about it? we also heard from the president as well. let me just take a quick look yet there's a marine in a dress uniform in front of the oval office, which means that's where he is. at the moment he tweeted out, of course, a week ago believing that when pfizer made its announcement, it had to delay that until after the election to damage him politically striking a different tone in the last few hours saying that historians putting them in courts should remember that when these vaccines were developed, it happened on his watch. as for joe biden, well, he's been talking about what he will do when he gets into the oval office. he's been saying, look, if you go back 11 years, when he and barack obama took over, it was a time of the great recession. they looked at
2:06 am
a national plan. they what together with as many people as possible to try and get the country back on its feet. he said he would adopt a similar approach this time. but i asked the trump administration to what with them saying this could save lives more people may die. if we don't coordinate, look my chief of staff, ron klain, handball vaccines in fort solution to your vaccinated. so how do we get the vaccine? how do we get over 300000000, americans vaccinated? what's the game plan? it's a huge, huge, huge undertaking. so universally, people are saying that this is good news, but joe biden also warning that there's a long, dark winter ahead and he's right. the vaccine might be in place for front line workers by the end of the year. but there are many more families who are going to
2:07 am
suffer because of this virus, and that means that people should be on their guard. it's not over yet. there's still going to be a lot of threats, a lot of concern. and a lot of morning before this vaccine is available for almost. 'd everyone in the united states, alan fischer. thank you very much. donald trump's national security adviser says he'd like to see the blockade on cattle result within 70 days. brian was speaking at a global security forum hosted impossible cata. he suggested a 1st step would be for saudi arabia and bahrain to fully reopen the s. basic atari aircraft. so we'd like to get rich saw, we felt the salt in the air when it gets you that you referred to that cutter air. was it because it was able to fly over saudi or space or bahraini or space is an important 1st step in solving that refs are. i'd like to see that get done before.
2:08 am
if we end up with office, i'd like to see that get done in the next 70 days. and i think there's a possibility for we are hopeful this moment and what we need that i now is to have a serious engagement in a good faith with other countries. and this is what i thought i was prepared to do any time they would be ready for this, they would see a lot of the 4 of us. and as i told you, at the beginning there is no, we're not out of this crisis. and all of us of losing, and if that crisis, when all of us will be 0 in on what people will be 0 in for well, the standoff is still where it was back in june of 2017. that's when saudi arabia,, the u.a.e. bahrain, and egypt cut all debt, diplomatic and economic ties with cata. they also closed its any land border and
2:09 am
imposed an and see embargo. well, kuwait initially stepped in to mediate, but there's been little or no compromise. the blockade countries accuse council of supporting terrorism, which its government has denied. let's go to washington d.c. and speak to former u.s. diplomat william lawrence, who is also a professor of political science at the american university. good to speak to you again. there's been a little movement in ending this blockade in the last 3 years. why do they think they can end it now in the next 70 days? well, it's being driven by the u.s. calendar rather than any rate through game changers and field just like abrahamic records were done to help with trump's political campaign in the u.s. to distract from other problems that he had here and saying that he, israel, the problems it was internal certainly politics. this has to do with jumps to do
2:10 am
list of things he wants to complete before he finishes his term as president. there's been a huge discussion in the white house over the last week about trump's legacy, about what goals he accomplished. and certainly this is on the list of accomplishments that he would like to complete. i think it's very interesting the way that national security advisor brian phrased it in that he implied that the airlink would be a 1st step towards an entire resolution. whereas you could also interpret what he said as maybe just the errand problem could be solved in the next 70 days. there is also. 'd an indication from the u.a.e. that they're not leaving. agree to this again, if we're talking about over flight rights over saudi arabia inviting, that's a concession. those 2 countries made independent that the u.a.e. . so there's a number of variables here. and i think you know, what can be done to qatar. this is a good 1st step in the right direction. but all of the countries are already
2:11 am
talking to the by the ministration and could probably get more concessions from stritch if some of these issues kerry, which will tell us more about that. do you think under, a biden administration it is likely to be much more strict on the g.c.c., so we are likely to say some improvement when it comes to the blockade. i don't think strictness of the g.c.c. is the right way to see it. think they think for everyone during the chinese duration was his close relationship with m.b.a.'s and d.c. and will be losing that to some degree with the bite of a stray shin. so in that sense, will be stricter in terms of, you know, in terms of regular allies or having a minimalist, but those 2 leaders, which actually hurts the chance to pressure them into concessions. but i think that the buy administration is going to inherit this maximum pressure effort is if iran
2:12 am
they're going to be handed, the idea that the g.c.c. crisis could be solved rather quickly by this administration during the transition . and i think it would be smart of them to, to move in this direction. i think the reality will be looking to court the by ministration make moves. so again, even if you could have a full resolution of the boycott and embargo and partial blockade right away, certain you could have, for example, overflight rights or certain products allowed through some, some good faith gestures. it was interesting that you may be said could target need to show more introspection? i have no idea what that means and get to the root causes. 'd of course, if you look at this, even if the u.a.e. has legitimate grievances visa the, which is a whole nother discussion, there is no cause of the blockade except the blockade itself. and i'm sure that the by ministration will view it that way,
2:13 am
that the blockade was an unnecessary imposition. and the faster you can move away from it and to sing to get your thoughts. william laurance, professor of political science at the american university. what's more ahead after the break reinforcements to its northernmost region, a main course for mediation to end the conflict that on the kind of a 10 german government that's praising couch potatoes. how the weather, slushy fog in dry across a good parts of the u.s. at the moment the northeast in kota, seeing some bits and pieces of cloud and right eastern parts of canada. quite a lively system there. some of them area of low pressure into that east,
2:14 am
the side of canada. very keen winds tightly packed, i suppose, wrapped around blustery conditions coming through here. but the main change that i want to show you is they were tools of western sort of canada across the pacific northwest of the u.s. . so that's going to bring some wet sand windy weather in here as we go on through choose day. notice the cloud in the rain that comes all the way down to northern parts of california. and even l.a. could see some wet weather. some welcome rainfall, as we go on through the 2nd, half of the way, much colder here. fair bit of snow there coming in across the rockies for central parts of eastern parts. it is generally dry, but boy, is it cold for celsius in new york's excelsis. therefore, they say so well down into single figures, further south temps about where they should be tepid about weather should be across the caribbean as well. but we're all concerned about developing a hurricane hurricane ike. now a category 4 storm winds of around 230 kilometers per hour, life threatening storm surge, flash flooding, and mudslides system making landfall on monday evening. and pushing further west
