12:05 am
a number of parties that disagree with the saudi backed government. well was not that he and in the scene in the last few years since since there was a drug and i thought of it all the announcement that would drop him yeah from yemen . i would that he was you know presenting yemen in directly we know that they have a stronger presence in aden and and the so-called south yemen we know that they they don't want to have you know a united yemen a lot of observers the you know scientist to somebody that is it's obvious that they were not happy of riyadh the because this is this is basically drawing young men to that action that they want out of him but it is that is not happy and also there are you know internal forces the general public is one of them some forces in the south of yemen they don't want to see the such thing because they are not you know participating on all of this they were marginalized so there is an issue
12:06 am
within him and the political 'd map and also the regional players who are actually not happy or that you don't know what's the position of iran and what. u.k. health regulators have approved a coronavirus vaccine developed by oxford university scientists and pharmaceutical company astra zeneca is the 3rd candidate to be approved in the west and is a beacon of hope for the u.k. which is battling a major surge in infections one dose of oxford astra zeneca has a vaccine has been found to be around 70 percent effective after $21.00 days and a 2nd dose between $4.12 weeks later is advised as many as $3000000000.00 doses are expected to be produced world by wide by the end of next year the serum institute of india the world's biggest producer of vaccines is already made $50000000.00 doses taiwan and indonesia have confirmed orders and it's just been signed off by regulators in argentina astra zeneca has pledged to make $1300000000.00 doses
12:07 am
available at cost to low and middle income countries the company also expects the vaccine to work against the new variant of the corona virus chalons has more. if ever good news was needed in the u.k. it's now the numbers of new infections and hospitalizations are breaking records the deaths are almost as numerous as the peak in april and medics are sounding alarms that the health service is struggling to cope with cope with 2nd wave q a much anticipated announcement from the u.k.'s medicines regulator this vaccine kovac 900 facts in astra zeneca has been approved for use in people and aged 18 years and older least 2 standard doses $4.00 to $12.00 weeks apart rollout begins on january the 4th with the oxford astra zeneca vaccine joining that of pfizer biotech and use in the u.k. since early december both are effective but the new vaccine has numerous advantages
12:08 am
. here with this london vaccination center you can see some of the infrastructure that is needed to administer the pfizer buy on take vaccine you can hear the generators running people need to be kept warm in the vaccine needs to be kept super chilled the oxford astra zeneca one day you can be given out by any doctor or nurse with a bridge it's much easier and that means many more people can be vaccinated baster the government is prioritizing getting the 1st dose to as many people as possible it's 70 percent effective the 2nd dose one to 3 months later makes that immunity last longer 100000000 doses on order add that to the 30000000 doses of pfizer and that's enough for 2 doses for the entire population if the government can achieve this it believes the country can return to normal life in the spring but before that announcement that millions more britons are moving into higher regional tears of coronavirus restrictions and there's
12:09 am
a delay to the new school term for many people's all pupils in exam to return during the week beginning the 11th of january with secondary school and college students returning full time on the 18th of january. during the 1st week of term on it were after the 4th of january secondary schools and colleges were prepared to test as many staff and students as possible. the oxford astra zeneca vaccine is welcome news for the u.k. but things are almost certain to get worse before they get better returns to 0 london. a charity oxfam has called for the science and technology behind the astra zeneca vaccine to be shared with the world health organization so that it can be produced on a global scale for more let's go to an america health policy manager for oxfam she joins us from the isle of wight via skype. which is one of your reaction to the to the for the moment within the pandemic but that getting the approval process
12:10 am
genetic about scene is so i think it's really important to say how well this approval is for people here in the u.k. as we as your reporter said sadly seeing rapidly rising infections and death rates in the u.k. an unprecedented pressure on the health service and part of that good news is of course that the oxford astra zeneca vaccine is cheaper and easier to store than some of the other vaccines which will make it easier and hopefully quicker to distribute and these facts also make this vaccine potentially very important for poorer parts of the world and many fragile context where we are oxfam work where the logistical challenges are much greater but unfortunately there we still have a huge problem our research is as the people's vaccine alliance estimates that on current projections 9 out of 10 people in the poorest countries are set to miss out on a vaccine next year and next we see an urgent change in action from both pharmaceutical
12:11 am
corporations but also governments i mean after the guy has committed to not profiting from the vaccine during the pandemic is that is that not enough. that is certainly good news and we want to see more transparency about those commitments and and a full commitment to not making a profit from this vaccine for all low and middle income countries but after dinner has also pledged around 64 percent of their vaccine to developing countries which is also more than other vaccine manufacturers but even astra zeneca can only produce enough for around 18 percent of the world's population most next year and that's why we need to see astra zeneca and oxford along with the other pharmaceutical corporations sharing their vaccine science know how and technology so that we can get more manufacturers on board in producing this vaccine at scale so that everybody can have access across the world and we can put an end to this
12:12 am
crisis and as quickly as possible that is it an unrealistic demand though i mean how likely is it that these companies will hand over intellectual property i mean also is there is there another way of doing it which would be to ask countries which have got a extra stop because you water think the various countries have ordered more than they need for them to hand over that excess would that be another way of doing it. well i think 1st we need to remember the sheer volume of public money that has been invested in the research and development and the manufacturing these vaccines so i think it's only right for the vaccine there thought to be a close global public good and for the vaccine science to be shared so that we can access the vaccine everywhere now it's unlikely that the pharmaceutical corporations are going to take that action voluntarily which is why we need government to step in and step up and ensure that the got the pharmaceutical corporations step away from business as usual and put the people's needs before
12:13 am
profit and yes if there are excess vaccines in some rich nations then sure they should be redistributed according to need where those vaccines are proven effective and appropriate for those contexts but this cannot do you know the end to this crisis cannot depend on the charitable model we need collaboration and solidarity now open sharing of the vaccines shark science which has been publicly funded so that we can scale up that manufacturing and it's in everyone's interest to do so so that we can end this crisis as quickly as possible and america thank you very much and give her sharing your thoughts with us thank you thank you. a 2nd look at some of the vaccine candidates and their differences or pfizer's vaccine was found to be 95 percent effective with no serious side effects it's about $20.00 a dose and 2 are needed but it requires specialist deep freezing equipment to
12:14 am
transport and storage we don't know has a similar success rate in trials with 94 percent they can be stored in a regular freezer but it's more expensive around $35.00 per dose and also requires 2 shots astra zeneca and oxford university say their vaccine is on average 75 percent effective after one shot but should rise past 90 percent after a 2nd it can be stored in a normal fridge and is easy to transport it's also much cheaper or cost around $3.00 per shot rushes sputnik the vaccine costs less than $10.00 for the 1st shot it's easy to store there was criticism after people were given the dose before mass human trials health officials now claim $30000.00 people have been studied and that it's 91 percent effective after 2 doses china's sign of farm option is still in the final trial stage although it's being distributed in china the company says initial results show it has a 79 percent effectiveness rate but hasn't released data its cost is not known.

12:16 am
far this trial has been going very smoothly the most encouraging thing is this that people are not getting any side effect. the other encouraging part is this that people who are affordable garc the antibody dieters tested on their own and after 4 weeks off vaccination and the antibody titers were high that means that our is confirming immunity so that's an objectively assessment of how as to how much effect of the vaccine is and that goes to show that we can make our nation i mean to this dynamic although the government there is located 150000000 dollars to buy the racks in their own science and technology outdoor redman saying there are great big at least 2 months for congress time to get that right seen but there are encouraging signs that people are already rolling clearing they want to be in the forefront of the campaign to find

12:24 am
complications thousands of women end up in hospital because of those complications so for this women legalizing abortion is crucial to save lives. but not everyone celebrated on wednesday and couldn't help crying when asked about the possibility of legalizing abortion i don't know much we're going to cry a lot there are a lot of lies that want to sell something that is not true that abortions happen everywhere we poor women do not want to have abortions we love our children. the catholic church is a powerful body here pope francis is argentinean and has been lobbying against the law. he says the church needs to adapt to current times he said and let there be others to say what you think to try to. make the case if you think that texas state. is not by because they need to one day they had already

denied involvement in the u.k. health regulator has approved the oxford astra zeneca coronavirus vaccine for emergency use millions more people in the u.k. will join the toughest here 19 restrictions from thursday. after more than $50000.00 infections were recorded per 2nd day. as an urgent search for temporary accommodation for those in croatia are left homeless by tuesday's powerful earthquake at least 7 people were killed and scores of homes and other buildings were destroyed. let's return to one of our top stories now the announcement by the u.k. health regulators that they've approved the astra zeneca oxford vaccine as cases continue to surge in the country hospitals are coming under strain with close 224000 patients having been admitted with covidien in the u.k. that's a higher number than the 1st peak back in april but not to us and chadri is a front line urgent care doctor for the n.h.s. he joins us from london via skype thank you very much for being with us so what's
12:31 am
the situation at your hospital at the moment so at the moment the situation is we are very very busy inundated with patients usually just tempers are busy months anyway but with the cases we are flooded full of patients with. symptoms we have seen patients who are very sick with krone rows who are being ventilated and beachy capacity and then we have the less sick ones who are coming in short of breath who still need beds and oxygen again locking up the system so we're not only struggling to see those patients but other patients with general you know it is are being delayed because of the chronographs influx and so i mean it around the u.k. is it your impression that. that's a hospital would have to start turning away patients who have those other conditions you mention like heart attacks and so on in the way that they do in the 1st wave. i mean there's already talk about bringing sites and hospitals into red zones or red lights which basically means that they're going to be
12:32 am
a diversion and only kobe patients are going to be admitted because people don't understand is when patients are being admitted with chronic rosa taking up ventilators and beds are the patients like you said heart attack patients unforeseen may not be able to get to bed and handsets to be transferred to other hospitals and so yes that's where it's going to get very difficult that they're going reports of his killing outside hospitals unable to get into to the hospital is that there is not a shortage of beds or shortage of staff. i think is sort of beds i mean every hospital at the moment if you look at models before the ambulance queues are down the road and there's plenty of people waiting in the corridors to be seen as i said because each chrononauts patient takes time to evaluate we've got to wear our p.p. assess them put them on oxygen that bed is now being occupied so the letter s. serious cases are now being delayed and because of that the ambulance that booting up and given the numbers of positive cases that we've seen in the last few days and much more serious my ticket will bear in mind everything you're seeing now is 2
12:33 am
weeks ago so relatively 2 weeks ago infection so the ones that are just happening now with christmas and new year i think next 2 weeks are going to get very very tough for us because the last week has just been absolutely crazy in terms of influx of patients so we're all dreading what the next 2 weeks are going to show us and what about the the nightingale hospitals there's some suggestion that they they might be dismantled or that they're not being used to what's your impression about whether those backpacks and that was built in the 1st wave well i understand that they should be used but again it's a starting issue because where the docs the nurses were already fully working here and shut such short supply so i'm not sure where the staff will come from but i believe they need to be opened up soon because we've got more cases than we had in april and at that time we didn't have the night to get hospital. dr ehrsson thank you so much for talking to us on our series we should thank you actually. now the post breaks it trade deal confirming the united kingdom's future trading

in less than 48 hours we will leave the e.u. single market and the customs union as we've promised and yet british exporters will not face a sudden thicket of trade barriers but rather for the 1st time in the history of e.u. agreements 0 tariffs and 0 quotas. britain officially left the european union back in january but the terms of a trade deal needed to be agreed before the transition period ends at midnight on december 31st fishing rights were a crucial element of the final agreement but in the port of newlyn in cornwall the final signing was greeted with open hostility british troll operators wanted the u.k.'s 12 mile territorial limit to be brought back it wasn't when you read the small print we will never get it back on the foreigner we're worse off than before bricks it because it's all written in that we won't be able to get it back. it's
12:36 am
just a travesty boris the betrayer has completely sold us down the river nonetheless the bracks it battle is now over time has run out and faced with the alternative of triggering a no deal bracks its parliament voted in favor. of the. right $520.00 was the nose the lips $72.00 through the eyes of it the eyes of it oh look it's all been done at breakneck speed to the agreement when it came on christmas eve left just enough time for british m.p.'s to be recalled to parliament behind me to ratify the deal in a one day sitting but for the europeans there is not that luxury of time the european parliament will not be able to examine the terms of the new trade deal and sign it off before midnight on december 31st that said the $27.00 e.u. ambassadors have already indicated that they unanimously approve it there will be

a new relationship from january the 1st critics point to more paperwork computer ocracy customs declarations rules of origin checks and product safety inspections others see greater opportunity sovereignty and freedom the reality will only become apparent in the coming weeks and months paul brennan al-jazeera westminster company says deputy director of a pro e.u. think tank british influence he doesn't think the european question is going away anytime soon despite the agreement on a trade deal. i think the only thing we know about british history is the year question is the only real constant we've been arguing about europe or a 1000 years and i fully expect us to be arguing about it the next 1001 that's a lot of very cold wouldn't. you know in the conservative party today and the question in europe is settled that's what people said in 1973 when we enter the
12:38 am
european union in 1985 when i was a referendum to stay in the european union and i have no doubt that the questions will evolve particularly because this negotiation. will have to continue the 2 sides will consider the arrangement in 5 years time other governments want to build and it's our governments may want see take things away and is also really important point about the future northern ireland because northern ireland is now easier than it was once traded bulgaria than britain and so as things go further and there's britain wants to stand the kind of the question of the future the union will be incredibly important and it will be very much bound to the case relationship with europe. bosnian officials are searching for somewhere to house more than a 1000 people after their migrant camp was destroyed in a fire a week ago police and the u.n. say can't leaper in western bosnia was probably set ablaze by some of the 1200

12:40 am
