♪ ten months after covid-19 first appeared in the united states, a promising vaccine is now one step closer to being rolled out. drugmakers, pfizer and biontech applied on friday to the food and drug administration for emergency use authorization. if given the green light, the first doses could be shipped by mid-december. and the situation could not be more urgent. the u.s. set another record on friday with more than 195,000 were you covid cases. 1 million americans have tested positive in just the past week. getting vaccines to the larger population will probably take several months. until then, many communities are facing hard choices about how to curb the staggering number of new infections. cnn's nick watt has the latest.

>> reporter: pfizer and biontech submitted their covid-19 vaccine to the fda for emergency use authorization. there could be shots in some arms before new year's. >> this pandemic will start getting better once we get into february/march, and by april/may, things will be dramatically better. >> reporter: but what about now? well, record daily case counts, record numbers in the hospital, climbing death toll. >> so, this is faster, it's broader, and what worries me, it could be longer. >> reporter: in illinois, movie theaters, museums, indoor bars, all closed again. california set the record, most cases in a day. tomorrow night, 10:00 p.m., an overnature curfew kicks in across the state. >> we too have seen it faster

and faster. >> reporter: in new york -- >> open our schools! >> reporter: schools closed after positivity rate crept to 3%. tempers are high. >> why can a child go to a restaurant? why can a child go every else but schools? there is no excuse. >> reporter: now, we hear that new york city restaurants might close again after thanksgiving. and the schools might actually reopen. >> the plan is to work on a plan so that after the thanksgiving break, we can bring everybody back into the schools and we can adjust and adapt our protocols so we can continue to do in-person learning. >> reporter: the latest science suggests schools are not superspreaders. >> my position keep the schools open as long as you possibly can. >> the big threat is not the public square. it's small family gatherings. >> reporter: the cdc in some states advising us not to valve

over tr to travel. >> we've given strong recommendations how you conduct that in a safe environment. >> reporter: ten months since the first confirmed case in this country, we're still unsure. close schools, keep restaurants open or vice versa. are strict rules best or just recommendations? is personal freedom the priority or health of others. i'm sick of saying it, but masks and mandates do work. the cdc here in the u.s. released data from kansas in the summer. counties that had mask mandates, the rates fell. counties that did not have mask mandates, the rates rose. there are modelers at the university of washington and they just tweaked their model. and now suggest if americans universally wore masks this

winter, 65,000 lives would be saved. nick watt, cnn, los angeles. lawmakers vowing to follow the law. it's a headline that should go without saying. republican members of michigan's legislature felt it necessary to release a statement saying they would adhere to the normal process of choosing presidential lectors after a meeting with president trump. they said the candidates who win the most votes win elections. these are simple truths that should provide confidence in our elections. cnn's boris sanchez has more from the white house. >> a whan whicampaign which i w we'll find that out. >> reporter: president trump denying reality. for the 17th day, dodging questions while he tries to upsend the democratic office in a desperate bid to stay until

power. in a brazen move, president trump inviting lawmakers from michigan and washington to the white house today. trump calling this 11th hour meeting that the white house says is routine. >> this is not an advocacy meeting. there will be no one from the campaign there. he routinely meets with lawmakers from all across the country. >> reporter: sources tell cnn that white house officials are considering a similar invitation to republican lawmakers in pennsylvania before that state certifies the winner on monday. despite the efforts, georgia one step closer to certifying joe biden as the winner of its 16 electoral college votes with lawmakers making it clear there were no fraud. >> numbers don't lie, as secretary of state, i believe that the numbers we've presented today are correct. >> reporter: with lawsuits fizzling out and state-by-state

fights hiding dead ends, the leaders sidelined. >> did you all watch "my cousin vinny"? >> reporter: rudy giuliani who had planned to be in with lawmakers. forced to cancel because of exposure to covid-19. his son andrew and assistant to the president who was at yesterday's off-the-rails news conference announced he tested positive for the virus. despite surging case numbers, the white house is desperately spinning trump's refusal to concede. >> something i would note is just we talked a lat about transfer of power and election and it's worth remembering that this president was never given an orderly transition of power. his presidency was never accepted. >> reporter: thain fact, hillar clinton called trump to concede hours after he was considered president-elect. president obama invited him to the white house. and during his inauguration, trump said this -- >> every four years, we stand on

these steps to carry out the ordinary and peaceful transfer of power, we are grateful to president obama and first lady michellebre owe babama for thei gracious honor. >> reporter: romney writing it is difficult to see the action by a sitting president. in his appearance in the press briefing room, really a rare moment for the white house nowadays. this is the first time we have actually seen president trump in just about a week. he has not answered questions from reporters for 17 consecutive days, dating back to election day. and looking forward, the president to this point only has two public events still on his schedule. first, the thanksgiving turkey

pardon at the white house and the unveiling of the white house christmas tree. boris sanchez, cnn, white house. in the meantime, joe biden is plowing head with his transition. he met friday with house speaker nancy pelosi and senate minority leader chuck schumer on ways to fight the coronavirus impacts while celebrating his 78th birthday. jessica dean has more. >> reporter: president-elect joe biden and vice president-elect kamala harris pushing ahead with their transition today. meeting with house speaker nancy pelosi and senate minority leader chuck schumer in wilmington, delaware, to discuss a covid relief bill. >> they're going to be working in lockstep. they're in lockstep agreement that there needs to be emergency assistance and aid during the lame duck session to help families. >> reporter: with two months until inauguration day, biden and his transition team are forging ahead with their plans despite president trump's continued refusal to concede and

begin the formal transition process. >> we continue to move forward in absence to the ascertainment division. >> reporter: saying trump's actions and bases lawsuits are harming democrat lawsuits that trump himself will not be successful. >> fabric is not tearing, it's holding firm. >> reporter: additionally, showing he's moving forward. biden has expedited the process of his cabinet nominees with some on announcements made next week. >> you'll soon here my choice for treasury. you'll here that just before or after thanksgiving. >> reporter: meantime, biden continues to grow his incoming white house staff. today, the transition announced a new round of similar

appointments which include several long time biden aides who have worked for both the president-elect and his wife jill. another area, when it comes to fundraising again, since they haven't signed off on biden as president-elect triggering the transition process releasing millions of dollars as they need to do so, the biden team has sent memos to reporters suggesting they would have to self-fund the transition. joe biden when he takes off in two months will be the oldest president in the history of the united states. jessica dean, cnn, delaware. i want to bring in amy pope, coming to us via skype in london. michigan lawmakers saying they'll follow the law.

the georgia certified biden's win, as well as losses for the president's legal team in arizona. so, what's next? >> well, there aren't many paths left for the president. this is really much more about the political theater, sending a signal to his base. to what end, it's not entirely clear. it may be that he's setting himself up for a run in the future. it may be that he's setting himself for an audience if he has a new plan to do his own television. but no matter, he is trying to keep the spotlight on him. make sure that he is the center of attention. and he's not ready to give that up yet. >> well, literally, fewer than a handful of republicans have been willing to call out the president or challenge him in any way. i mean, you've worked in the senate. what do you make of the silence coming from republicans there? >> i think they're holding ton the sake of securing their base.

at least until the votes are officially certified, and the president has no way forward. i think they're nervous about alien natuating the people who for trump, saying the election was stolen from trump despite no evidence at all. at some point, they have to pivot to reality. once the votes are certified, once the electoral college has been officially called then there isn't much room to go. and they need to look to the future because there are very serious challenges that they have to face sass a congress. >> that says a lot about president trump's enduring power after all of this going forward. i want to know, though, what generally, the effects of all of this is on democracy. i see a lot of headlines which have variations of trump insulting the soil of democracy. we just heard in the piece before this from biden's senior

adviser seeming to downplay this. saying the fabric is not tearing. it's holding firm. is it? >> well, look, the good news is the institution is functioning the attack on the president's power. and they're hearing and assisting the claim when there's no evidence to support them. the fact that we have at least some members of congress demonstrating that ultimately they're going to go along with whatever the vote shows. what i think is actually really heartening is the fact that republican legislature, both in georgia and in michigan, are demonstrating that they're going to follow the rule of law. >> that was amy pope of chatham house speaking to you just a little while ago. countries across the world are battling a dangerous second wave of the coronavirus. just ahead, we'll find out why scotland is closing its borders to the rest of the uk. stay with us. with rose water and micelles that work like a magnet to gently cleanse and remove oils and makeup.

after religious ceremonies will be limited to ten people, and justin trudeau is speaking to his fellow canadians. >> if you were planning to see friends this weekend, maybe don't. if there was a birthday party you were planning, don't do it. we're in a moment right now, with all of the sacrifices i know canadians have been making over these past ten months, we are going to have to really tighten up once again. >> scotland is also take something extreme measures. it's banning all nonessential travel to england and most of the british isles. let's bring in anna stewart from london. anna, new restrictions, but from the sounds of it, you could drive one of those red double-decker buses through the loopholes. >> reporter: this ban seems that cases of coronavirus appears to be leveling off in the uk.

england is currently under lockdown until december 2, and scotland, people faced very similar restrictions to the english lockdown. nonessential shopping shut. and the idea that scotland has banned all travel from scotland and the rest of the uk. some say is that a bit of an overreach? the scottish government is dedivulged from westminster. this is legally enforced. and can get fined around 60 pounds which is around $80. there are holes in the plan. for one thing, there's no real border between scotland and england. at least in terms of infrastructure. there are no border checks. secondly, the exemption lifts are exhausted. for instance, you can travel from scotland to england, still, despite the ban. if you need to feed an animal,

if you need to give blood, if you need to take a driving test or variation of health. it's likely to be half enforced. this is all part of scotland further restrictions, nick lhol sturgeon say, it's of short balance here. with some flexibility for families to get together. we know behind the scenes, the uk is an absolute patchwork of different rules and restrictions. at the moment there are conversations with the government of westminster, scotland and anwell, to see if they can reach a common ground for everyone to enjoy christmas together. and the uk, of course is one nation. and we travel to see our family this time of year. we'll see, as everyone is waiting to see further news on that. >> all right. we'll hear from you about that. thank you so much anna security in london.

for more on the crisis in london, let's bring in dr. peter drobac from the university of oxford in england. awaiting the vaccine for emergency use authorization from the fda, how excited are you about this? >> well, kim, good to be with you again. a lot of good news not only from the pfizer vaccine and moderna and astrazeneca with the results. that's three vaccines that have shown promising clinical trial results. with the application for the pfizer vaccine, it stills needs to go through, obviously, rigorous scientific review. and it's important that is rigorous, so we can have faith in the results. but if things go well, it is possible there could be an approval of that first vaccine as early as a few weeks from

now. >> okay. well, that's obviously, very welcome news. and it can't come soon enough, obviously with cases rising. you know, many here in this country on the left are quick to blame the trump administration for still being mired in the covid crisis, some, you know, nine, ten months after it all started. but you look at europe, where you are, cases are spiking all over the continent there, too. so, some might argue if so many other countries haven't been able to get a handle on it, doesn't that absolve the u.s. administration of a lot of the blame? >> i think as we've seen across the northern hemisphere, this is very challenging as we move into winter months but it's not clear across the board. if you look at the difference between infection and death rates in canada and the u.s., they're starkly, starkly different. so i think it really demonstrates what is possible with good leadership with science-based policy. and with people coming together to really attack this virus. and in europe, after a real

struggle, i think complacency in late summer and fall. things have improved. we've flattened the curve. there's still a long ways to go. so i don't want to necessarily get into blaming anyone. but if you look at the situation in the u.s., all of the curves are still going straight up. infections, hospitalizations, dengs. a few weeks from now, we might look back at a few thousand deaths a day. it's frightening, we have to do something to turn the corner. we knoll there has to be a vacuum of federal leadership. states and localities need to step up. all of us as individuals need to step up and make good decisions. and sometimes hard choices to protect our loved ones. >> one of those decisions we're making now, it's that debate about closing schools and closing bars. we're seeing more and more jurisdictions shutting down in-person learning. but lawmakers worrying about the economic effects of shutting

down. so, the upshot is kids can no longer go to school to learn. but adults can still go down to the bar to drink. so, based on what you've seen in europe, what works? is there a right answer there? >> yeah, of course, there are a lot of hard choices that need to be made in a situation like this. and questions about what to keep open and what to close are really questions about what you value as society. right? so, some decisions were made here in many parts of europe that education is really important. so, we are going to do everything we can to maintain schools opening. sometimes, that means closing bars. closing restaurants, having other kinds of restrictions, because we think the social value of education is greater than being able to get a pint in a pub. i happen to agree with that. unfortunately, this huge gap in learning, especially from more vulnerable kids that we're seeing stretching out towards the end of the year is going to have impact on their development, in the future, and

the u.s. economy for decades to come. i think where we look back in history, this is going to be one of the most insane choices that i think was made. >> i agree. listen, we'll have to leave it there. thank you for speaking to us. dr. peter drobac, university of oxford in london. >> thank you. and with that, that wraps up "cnn newsroom" for the international audience "inside africa" is next. we have much more news after this. we'll come back. dad, it's a video call. hold the phone in front of you. how's that?

spoke exclusively to cnn's dr. sanjay gupta about the crisis. >> i suppose, figuring out how to represent how we've done in the country. 255,000 people have died. compare it to other countries, south korea, people have died. was this a failure in this country. did you expect it to go this way? >> i always worry when we have an outcome that none of us want. and none of us wanted. you know, did we miss a communication? did we say it the wrong way? and i think, really, that's part of the reason why it went out into the states. really understand what they were hearing when we were speaking and really being in a dialogue and a partnership to really understand how we could do this better. >> was the lack of testing and the continued inadequate testing the original sin here? >> it's not only the number of tests and the type of test. but using them in the optimal

way so that we can get the most answers for the quantity that we have. certainly, i'm a big proponent of testing and expanding testing. i actually think testing alone is a public health intervention. if you constantly are testing people and isolating the positives, then you have a very different outcome. if you look at the universities that had mandatory, mandatory testing, they ended up with less than 1% of their student body infected. ones that tested the way we were doing in america, primarily focused on symptomatic, contact tracing, isolating and quarantining, they had 8% to 10% of their student body affected. >> was there after a strategic not to test as much? >> there was not a strategic position not to test. there was a strategic decision not to test more until a

particular late time frame in the summer when had you saw the cdc change the systematic testing. i can't tell you how strongly i believe that symptomatic testing and contact tracing is only -- well, is less than half of the equation. >> coronavirus cases in south dakota have been soaring so much lately authorities say the state this week had one of the country's highest rate of new cases. cnn's gary tuchman visited one hospital where patients and staff are struggling with the disturbing russia patients. and worse, some people don't even believe the disease is real. >> are you going to be okay if i sit you up a little bit? >> sure. >> reporter: keith suddon is very real. 88-year-old has covid-19. he's in the hospital in--a state with explosive cases.

>> you people have helped me so much. the last three days have been rough. it's improved. >> reporter: this is an intensive care unit just for covid patients at the monument health rapid city hospital. the onslaught of patients is overwhelming for the staff and everyone knows things are worse. the doctor is the vice president of medical affairs. >> i'm very scared for the state. for my neighbors, for my own family. sometimes, for myself. this is the truth. >> we're going to get better, huh? >> reporter: employees here are doing heroic work. >> yes, you're getting better. >> reporter: but there is great concern as cases continue to increase it will be difficult to maintain adequate staffing levels. as recently as july there were five covid patients in this hospital. today, there are 85 covid patients in this hospital. heidi schuman is a nurse's aide. >> it's very hard, there's a lot of days i go home and just cry.

because i get to go home to my family, i get to see my daughter, my parents and everybody. some of these people don't make it out of here, unfortunately. >> reporter: for keith sugdon, it's such and go. >> these tears in my eyes are happy tears. they're not sad tears. to know how many people really care. you get to wondering once in a while. >> 90% right now, remember to take the deep breaths in your nose. out your mouth. >> yeah. >> reporter: a few days ago, tom massa felt achy and had a scratchy throat. he's extremely sick receiving high levels of oxygen. how are you feeling right now? >> oh, a little anxious. >> reporter: you great care here, great doctors and nurses.

>> oh, yeah, the care here is excellent. >> reporter: one of the rns treating tom moved to south dakota from south florida, at the beginning of the outbreak. >> thankfully, i haven't contracted it yet. i 15 praying it stays that way. >> reporter: it's scary, isn't it? >> yeah, it is. >> reporter: what do you say to people who don't take it seriously, covid? >> well, i don't know if i can say this or not, but i believe that the whole covid situation was a failure from the top government leadership to the state government. they didn't deal with it. they apparently didn't think that they needed to listen to the experts and stuff. >> my people are happy. >> reporter: the governor of south dakota has refused to encourage her citizens to wear masks or socially distance, even as her state becomes a national leader until covid sickness. so south dakota hospitals have

taken it upon themselves to try to keep people safe. >> some folks don't even believe the disease is real. >> reporter: here in south dakota? >> yes. misinformation is one thing that leads to misguidance. but also there's this streak of, you know, we will not do something if you tell me to do it. i'll do it if i feel -- >> that's the way you feel if you give the advice? >> that's how frustrated i feel, yeah. >> my brother told me as a kid, he poked me and he says, you know, everybody's got troubles, and you have to help them if you can. and i've done that all my life. >> reporter: and now people are helping you, chief? >> they are, they are. thank god. >> reporter: the governor of south dakota had a news conference this week there's zero indication of any change in her philosophy. she shut a public service announcement airing a lot here

whether that's apprenticeships or unpaid work just to gain experience. >> reporter: it's a story young people are experiences in one way or another around the world. this 30-year-old is working in a supermarket even though he's trained as a teacher. >> it started to look down in sequence. and from the verification. >> reporter: according to australia's independent agency, the productivity commission, the pandemic means young people are more likely to struggle to find work, be forced to take lower wages or accept fewer hours. or work in jobs they're overqualified for. >> that means less savings. that means worse jobs, more chance of unemployment for quite a long time. >> reporter: the effects of which are likely to linger long after the pandemic. economists warn many young people have depleted their

savings and some are being forced to rely on the support of their parents. but the generational divide goes much deeper as governments around the world spend trillions of dollars to stem the economic fallout, it's the young people with the bill for years to come. >> if you're a young person, you'll be feeling pretty bitter because you're looking at a tough job market as you're looking for work. and likely, you're looking at higher taxes during your lifetime to pay for the government policy during this covid era. >> reporter: for those starting out in the job market it can be an overwhelming prospect. ben fears there's anxiety among people his age about what the future holds but he's trying to remain hopeful. >> i will say, it has been tough for me. it's something i know how to cope and get through. i know that everybody sees that light at the end of the tunnel.

>> reporter: regardless of when that light appears this could be the economic consequences for years to come. simon colin, cnn, london. authorities in australia say a six-day lockdown of the entire state was based on a lie. a man told officials he contracted covid after picking up a takeout meal from a pizza shop. the exposure seemed very sure but officials feared he was infected by a strain of the virus. they ordered the business to close. and investigators later learned the man worked at the pizza place and had lied to contact tracers. he actually worked several shifts with a contagious person. the state is furious. >> i'm fuming about the actions of this individual is an absolute understatement. the selfish actions of this individual have put our whole state in a very difficult

situation. >> so, the lockdown will end tonight, and premier says the man who lied won't be punished. going up live to the first virtual g20 summit, find out what to expect from what may be president trump's last global event. stay with us. dry, distressed skin that struggles? new aveeno® restorative skin therapy. with our highest concentration of prebiotic oat intensely moisturizes over time to improve skin's resilience. aveeno® healthy. it's our nature™.

well, just hours from now, the g20 leaders summit will be getting under way hosted by saudi arabia. but this year, the leaders of the world's largest economies won't be gathering in person as they formally have in the past. instead, the coronavirus pandemic is forcing them to meet online in a virtual summit. cnn's diplomatic editor nic robertson is in riyadh. nic, what can we expect during the next few days? >> reporter: yeah, it's interesting, kim, because we just had a speech from the saudi military of investment which has laid out a broad view of what

the stakes were on the groundwork going into preparing for the g20. very clearly, the saudis are proud to be hosting this event and proud to be showing off the reforms they see in their country but it's very interesting listening to this well-respected saudi minister. essentiallily say, when the global pandemic covid-19 hit the world, the world looked for a global leader, and there wasn't one. and this really seemed to be somewhat of a swipe at president trump. and that came up again afterwards. he didn't say that -- he didn't say president trump by name. he goes, the g20 stepped up to the plate. they met earlier in the year. they defined $21 billion to help for the countries to combat the immediate impact of covid-19. he said that saved hundreds of thousands of lives. that was the g20 leaders working together, managed to achieve that. he said they managed to get $40 billion in debt relief. that has had an impact used by 73 different countries.

he gave interesting figures including the imf, international monetary fund's assessment, how their expected contraction of the global economy. he said if you compare the figures between june and october for the contraction of the global economy that the i mchli predicting, october is back. and he describes that as the g20 activating a lot of global international institutions which he said again, this seemed to be a reference to president trump had been on somewhat of a decline. he said unfortunately, some leaders failed to keep an international look or view. and the g20, the u.n., the world bank, the imf focused on the coronavirus issue. of course, there's another theme that runs understand t s under d that's saudi arabia's own relationship with president

trudg trump, which is a close relationship, despite what we're hearing from the investment minister. but i spoke with the saudi minister of state for foreign affair, about how they'll navigate changing between president trump and president-elect joe biden. >> we deal with the president of the united states as a friend, whether he's a republican or democrat. our president-elect biden has been in the senate for 35 years. he has tremendous experience. he was vice president for eight years. i don't expect there's going to be may have change in terms of america's foreign policy. america is a global power. >> but he says he's going to be tough on saudi arabia? >> i believe -- i believe that what people say in a campaign often doesn't translate, once they move into office. president trump said things about saudi arabia in the campaign. yet, we were the first country that he was headed when he took office. >> reporter: so, remembering that the g20 is a body that really sort of helps the global economy, it did that during the

economic crisis in 2008. and what we're hearing here is that the work they're doing now in the g20 really hopes to lay a foundation, not just for the current situation with covid-19. but for whatever pandemic, lesser or worse, potentially, may come in the future. that they're trying to create the foundations for a global response. because at the beginning of the pandemic, the global leadership that everyone turned to and looked for wasn't really there. kim. >> absolutely. thank you so much for that nic robertson in riyadh. the state of georgia is having a tumultuous season. a tight voter race, false accusations of voter fraud, a battle in the u.s. senate all making for volatile times here in the peach state. stay with us.
