takeoff. u.s. aviation regulators say boeing, 737 max can return to the skies, but only under certain conditions below us struck make a fire as it says, it will request emergency approval for its covert 19 vaccine. in the coming days, the vaccine developed with its german partner biotech has shown consistent results across various demographics with no major side effects. final results from the pfizer biotech vaccine trials show a 95 percent success rate in all age groups. the highest of any candidate in late stage clinical trials so far, the company says it could have 50000000 doses available by the end of the year. but its distribution is complicated by the need to store the vaccine at temperatures of minus 70 degrees celsius. we are confident that if, if we continue across, you can over it that it could could happen that,

that we get an order was in until mid of december and could start to, to provide the 1st millions of dollars of experienced to the regions get an approval on october one aside, you castro joins us live from wilmington, delaware. i do want to these results tennis well or, and what it tells us for one is that the fact that the 3rd stage, clinical trials are wrapped up so quickly here for 5 years or is because the participants had more exposure to cohabit. then initially the timeline had anticipated that it's because of how big of a peak the u.s. is experiencing at this moment with 11400000 people having already been infected. now the way that this study was conducted is that they took 44000, people slip them into groups,

half of them got the vaccine the other have did not among the groups that did not get the vaccine. well, there were 162 cases of coded 8 of which 9 of which rather were severe in nature. now among the group that did get the vaccine, there were only 8 cases of covert in only one severe case. and that is how the researchers got it down to the 95 percent efficacy rate, which is beyond the highest hopes of the drug makers themselves. and of course, this piggybacks off of also the recent good news from another drug maker, the journal that reported similarly positive results from their clinical trials, approaching 95 percent. and it is also notable that with this pfizer vaccine, the effect, the effectiveness appears to be also for older people over the age of $65.00. there have been some concerns that vaccines may not be as effective on older populations . in this case, it appears it will be effective across the board and it's rollout by the end of the

year feasible. right, so now that is the biggest challenge. pfizer says it is applying for emergency authorization from the f.d.a. within days. the plan all along has to have that was to have some 20000000 people vaccinated in the u.s. by the end of the year. and then, projecting far into the future in the most optimistic sense, we're looking at april, perhaps for the general population in the united states to be vaccinated. of course though, that is also very much dependent on what's happening here in delaware with president elect joe biden, waiting still for conversations with the outgoing trouble ministration. to see how to hand over this baton. of course, these drugs are developed under the purview of the trump administration, but they will be distributed under bidens. and so far the 2 have not been communicating. i did, you have to thank you very much indeed on the development has been welcomed by the

world health organization. it has warned that vaccines are only one part of a successful response to the coronavirus. with a lot of hard work in the spring will start to have vaccine come on stream and then we'll have a huge extra to some people think the vaccine will be in a sense to the solution. the unicorn we've all been chasing. it's not. meanwhile, the chinese vaccine is also shown positive results in trials and the drug known as corona vaca is now in the final stage of testing, researches say the vaccine led to a quick immune response in around 700 trial patients. there are several vaccines being developed in china, some of which are already being administered to you has more from beijing. china has 5 vaccines in total, which are undergoing final stage days 3 trials. but the clear front runner here is

a vaccine that's been developed by the company signed of that vi otec called corona vac. now this vaccine works by including an inactivated form of the virus. that is a virus that has been chemically killed in a lab. and that will be injected into a subject and ideally produce and an immune response in somebody who is receiving it. now, according to an article published in the medical journal lancet, this vaccine had some success in mid stage trials. this was based on study and a study of about 700 people, although the article didn't say what the success rate of the vaccine was. now that was done that was accumulated in april and may instance then quite a bit has happened with the son of that vaccine. 1st of all they began phase 3, final stage trials overseas. now those trials couldn't be conducted here in china because of the lower number of carved 19 numbers, but they've since began in indonesia, bangladesh, and in brazil, a southeast chinese province called judge in september, started up

a pilot program for members of the public to receive this sign of that vaccine and since september, the judge on government says 740000. people have received that vaccine, including many international students who were about to go overseas to commence their studies, as well as international businessmen. now of course medical experts around the world say it is extremely risky to be giving members of the public or people this vaccine before the phase 3 trials have been have been ended, and they've had any conclusive results. but certainly the chinese government does seem to be very, very confident in this particular vaccine. britain's prime minister has defended his government after a report found contracts for billions of dollars of coronavirus equipment. went to people with political links, or as johnson said, he was proud of efforts to get protective equipment for the health service. but an official watchdog tram companies recommended by politicians who are more likely to be given lucrative contracts. the prime minister answered parliamentary questions

almost 2 years. the planes must be fitted with new software and pilots retrained to deal with problems in the stall prevention system, called cas problems caused to deadly crashes in 20182019. in both that system repeatedly and powerfully shoved down the jets nose as pilots struggled to regain control. a stream of investigations was triggered and the entire fleet was grounded for 20 months. the longest in aviation history, the ban has cost it $20000000000.00 and taking off again won't be easy for the u.s. plane maker, facing a resurgent coronavirus pandemic. and new year pin tariffs. plus regulators in europe, brazil and china have yet to issue their own approvals for the 737 max on that drive reports. it's been one of the worst crises to face boeing and it's damaged trust in the aviation industry as a whole. the 737 max, the latest generation of the world's best selling aircraft,

was grounded in march last year after 2 crashes within months that killed 346 people. the 1st was a lion air flight from indonesia in 2018, followed by an ethiopian airlines flight 5 months later. both crashes were traced to a fault that caused the plane software to fight against the pilot and put the plane into an uncontrollable dive. subsequent investigations blamed boeing for technical failings and a lack of transparency which it has struggled to overcome. we absolutely have to rebuild competence of your plane and that starts with getting it certified, bringing it back to service. given us regulator, the f.a.a. is influence. this is an important step for boeing, but it still has to convince other international aviation or thirty's, and convincing passengers the plane is safe to fly will likely take some time. just as we or yes,

republicans having very little confidence in the election outcome. many would argue that is because prior to the vote. 2 the u.s. president continued to insist there would be vote rigging and mail in but voter fraud. and as a result, not only is the president not conceding, but he continues to fight, even as many of these court challenges are not holding up a committee. and this time in terms of immigration policy. yeah, the troubled ministration. a had been working very hard as you know for some time to cut back on what it views as illegal immigration and when covert 19 hit, what it did was put in place an emergency public health order to deport as many as 8000 children back to their countries of origin, citing the public health emergency and concerns about coronavirus. well that now has been reversed by a u.s. district court judge at least where pertains to children what it doesn't impact or

the more than 147000. men and women who have been set back since march, that is still a practice that will continue. but what we can tell you is that already the bible administration or incoming by ministrations saying they are looking to review a number of these policies and will try and reverse some as part of a broader revamping of immigration, but for now under the trumpet ministration. still no word if they're going to challenge this latest ruling to their immigration policy. thank you very much. iran's foreign minister says tehran is ready to return fully to its commitments under the 2015 you clear deal? if u.s. president elect joe biden, lifts sanctions johanson or if told iranian media that biden could lift sanctions by signing a 3 executive orders. he also says, tehran is ready to discuss a u.s. return to the deal, which donald trump withdrew from 2 years ago. no one seemed can be done
