cooperation will keep a major global outbreak at bay. for let's get more on this now dr steady go small scoffs is an associate professor in cellular and molecular scientists at northumbria university in the u.k. thanks for joining us now the world health organization has now officially declared a global health emergency what does that mean for the worldwide containment efforts . that means that governments around the world with the means and resources and expertise will get together and ensure that those parts of the planet that haven't got the resources necessary to look after transmission and patients will be supplied with the necessary materials guidance and support will that extend to the vaccine because i mean we do know at this stage i mean there's no vaccine do we know any more about research efforts how long how far along scientists are whether this global health emergency well will help that along. yes.

look vaccine necessary a vaccine is the best possible solution for any kind of outbreak if you can trust to what's happening with flu we know the disease so well that every year we can generate a new vaccine within a matter of months with coronavirus however the situation is very different we don't have the necessary expertise or knowledge on the biology of this virus what it does to our bodies to be able to say we're going to generate a virus within a few months. happened is that a lot of companies worldwide on research institutes. started efforts on developing developing and delivering a vaccine this may take months this may take years and my personal opinion i mean just strictly a personal opinion is that we refocus on making sure people understand what the reality is what the risk is and then in terms of short term research intervention

look into how we can make the diagnostic procedures a lot more simpler a lot more reliable and if possible compatible with screening in places like. so you're making a clear distinction then between vaccines for example and then containment efforts whether that be screening potentially quarantine methods what's going to be the game changer in this outbreak is it vaccines is the other containment efforts. no the game changer is going to be communication and understanding every country has its own. traditions its own style its own way of doing things if we come in from the developed countries and we try and tell the developing countries what to do then chances are we're not going to be very successful out there just coming in feet 1st to help them they will see this as another form of

imperialism we've seen this before with a bold outbreak in west africa and indeed with the current bowl outbreak in east africa so the answer is we hate provide the resources technical and intellectual and engage the local people to go out into the populations and explain to them what's happening train them and get them to cooperate so that we can contain the outbreak. in the west african break the biggest effort was made around taking the diagnostics out from the few hospitals and into where the people were so we're not exactly in the same situation the diffusion of the virus is really in china but in places like africa where we're now started to see. patients are showing up if this becomes diffuse we will need the diagnostic capability to move out of big cities unnamed to the rural settings now the don't require nasal swabs it requires back of

the mouth swabs and material produced from the lungs or collected from the lungs by putting tubes inside your body and that needs a hospital sidekick so you can imagine the slow going to be easy to do in the wild in africa really needing with a mobile lab i think that so many important parallel to draw there especially with regards to communication and diagnosis as well we'll have to leave it there dr is that a guest must dos from northumbria university in the u.k. thank you so much for sharing your insights with us. thank you well let's take a look now at some the other stories making news around the world this hour u.s. secretary of state might pompei who has met ukrainian president of unloading is that is key in kiev with the aim of arranging talks with his u.s. counterpart donald trump democrats accuse trump of fresh to investigate political rivals pompei or said that the 2 presidents would meet soon. israeli

aircraft have struck militant targets in the gaza strip in response to new rocket fire from the palestinian territory and said that 3 rockets were fired at israel overnight without causing any casualties now the strikes come amid heightened tensions after the release of a controversial middle east peace plan by u.s. president donald trump democrats in the u.s. senate have been dealt a blow in their bid to call witnesses that president trump's impeachment trial one of the few republican senators thought to be on the side of said he would not support the move his announcement means that trump's trial could end with a swift acquittal is ordered because now it is the last day of the membership of the european union and in just a few hours it will formally leave the bloc the next stage begins on saturday with an 11 month transition period officials will start negotiating a new relationship between the u.k. and the remaining 27 e.u. nations u.k.

is as divided in its reactions as it was up the time of the vote to leave. our correspondent back at mass has been out and about in london to ask people what they think. it's all in the prime minister we're here to get our country back so we voted remain but now it's we have no choice so we're going to get behind day and we're just going to carry on as as normal and we trade with you as a business so we just got to find a way to do it and get through this. with you here in england in britain in scotland wales in oil in the way of union from. everybody in each country and there is a real back with me for the u.k. i'm very sad about to say it's just a change there's no sort of rationing we will do something that we want. we want to do i think. it's happening. and then look forward this is just the start of it this

is a child role because the worst day will be after the transition yet so the 31st of december will actually be fall west and today. we have team breaks it on a coverage today a team coverage i should say d w mass in london and to deal with matters in brussels welcome to you both back at like to begin with do you doubt that those opinions that we just heard from people in london what's the latest where you are how are people feeling right now. well and as we speak i have to look a little bit over there and i see a silent procession of people who are demonstrating for the e.u. with e.u. flags but they're very very quiet overall this really is the day of the brics it is and here behind me i've been speaking to are lots of people who are and foo's yesterday and they are celebrating and they're singing songs like bye bye you mostly good natured i have also had some last year commons towards e.u.

citizens but generally so far it's a good natured party a celebration for the wrecks it is of the day that they finally leave the european union or i gaelic in brussels let's go straight over to you then because i mean this has been a long time coming what about people who are working in institutions for example where you are i mean is it sadness is it relief a bit of both. i would say as far as the e.u. institutions are concerned the u.k. has left the european union already a long time ago you know that there's been a long process here and surely on a day like this you are bound to have some some sadness look the way i see it i remember very well when i covered with the biggest mosque to gether the night of the rex referendum and when you today's it is one of those days where you look back on those past 3 years and you think how did we get there so there is

a there is i think a certain depth to the stay where you reconsider what has gone wrong what has worked out and clearly relief is there on the part of the institutions and all those people who were involved in those tough negotiations that tracked along where sometimes it wasn't sure if we would get even the divorce agreement and now what i think we have is that the european union very much looks for forward to what is coming next that what you won't have today i think is any ceremonial part so the e.u. institutions and the people who work there try to keep this as low key as possible it's a sad day it's a day where there is some relief but it mainly is a day where just one member state is leaving and everybody knew that was coming. back at you and you know have been covering this 3 years in the making at times it felt like it dragged on which sort of makes me want at all brit still interested in the break that issue. a lot of people are really happy to see the

back of all these negotiations and they just want to get out and just not hear anything about it of course there are a lot of experts are pointing out well this is just the start of all the negotiations of the future relationship security relationship economic relations of britain needs to find its way and needs to set the agenda of where it actually wants to go now to use the european union a lot of people though don't want to hear about it and certainly these people here today don't want to really think about it and they say well if there is any prize that needs to be needs to be paid economic consequences they are happy to pay it i mean essentially you know you're talking about the fact that everything needs to be sort of unpicked as it were and then sewn back together which makes me wonder what happens from the e.u. side how much appetite is there to move quickly on that to wrap up this transition period promptly what do you believe the words of was

a former aligned of the president of the european commission she just said today in a press conference that we want to forge the closest relationship with the u.k. is possible but not at all cost so the you institutions are very keen to rep this up as fast as possible and to get a deal done or i get masses for us even for us european union but they'll be that transition period in till the end of this year most people will notice little change for the time being but tough negotiations are about to begin on the u.k.'s future relationship with the european union. it's a race against time. the u.k. and the e.u. have until the end of 2022 to find their new post brecht's that relationship and there's still a long way to go so one of the issues that need sorting trade is the biggest want to thank the trade relation between the 2 how are we going to trade with each other are we going to have tariffs or are we not going to have types in the way that we exchange goods and services that's going to be i think the biggest thing to do

a successful outcome on this key issue will depend on the u.k. agreeing to the e.u.'s calls for a level playing field the e.u. wants the u.k. to stick to e.u. rules out of fear that the u.k. will lower its standards or profit from unfair advantages but for british negotiators being freed of e.u. rules as one of the main drivers for bracks it so talks will be tough in my view the e.u. has a symmetrically bigger power when it comes to when it comes to trade each country in the you would be using one market the u.k. would be losing $27.00 markets. there is one element where i think the u.k. has got perhaps more of a say that is in the financial markets and that is basically london this city has served as a major financial hub for the whole of the e.u. as the e.u. doesn't want to lose that expertise the u.k. could cues the city of london as a bargaining chip in the negotiations and then there's the issue of fishing rights

that could be a stumbling stone on the bumpy road to bracks it taking back control of british waters was a key bracks a campaign pledge but the u.k. may have to compromise if it doesn't want the issue to scupper chances of finalizing a deal with the e.u. the u.k. leaving my view was unjustified and therefore i believe that it's going to be an economic cost for the u.k. so the closer we can keep when it comes down to the way we do trade for example the better it's going to be for both of us it's going to be an extremely tight race to get things done by the end of the year. and i'm now joined here in the studio by jane golding she is the chair of british europe now that is the biggest coalition group of british citizens living and working in the european union welcome to you jane great to have you with us thank you very much and now you represent the interests of british citizens living working here in the european union will things change for them later today when britain leaves later today of

course the transition parrott starts and during the transition parrot almost all of the right stay the same the only rights that british people in the $27.00 will lose in transition of voting rights to vote in local elections were to stand in the countries where we live in local elections what do you see happening at the end of this transition period i mean do you see it being a protracted period for example perhaps a more bumpy road than some people are thinking at this stage for citizens we have the withdrawal agreement for those who are already living in the 27 most of their rights will be guaranteed but only in the host country where they live now. but they will be losing e.u. wide rights like freedom of movement and that is a huge issue because nearly 80 percent of us are working age or younger and we are a very mobile population so if you're an i.t. contract or

a computer games developer him by then and your employer needs to send you on short contracts across the e.u. 27 that is going to have a big impact on your career and you're someone who's been interfacing with many of these people over the past 3 years i mean i think it's fair to say that brits abroad have been living in limbo for quite some time throughout that period i mean how those years of uncertainty had an impact they've had a huge impact not just on british citizens living in the e.u. but also the e.u. citizens in the u.k. and we work really closely in our advocacy with the stream in the. it's groovy is it since in the u.k. huge amounts of anxiety people becoming quite depressed especially the more vulnerable groups like pensioners and just not knowing what is going to happen and of course the specter of a no deal for so long the last year and a half people don't actually understand now that their rights are secured up to

a point and also that nothing changes for 11 months apart from their political rights it's a psychological impact as well there that you would see underestimated thank you so much jane golden chair or british in europe great to have you perspective pleasure . now 5 days after the fatal helicopter crash that killed basketball star kobe bryant reports are emerging that the craft's offer rating company was not certified to fly in poor visibility will heavy fog is said to have contributed to the accident bryant his teenage daughter and 7 others were killed stay on and express helicopters company was reportedly only certified to operate in conditions where the pilot could see outside the aircraft. now the l.a. lakers also hold a pre-game tribute to their film a star player when they return to the court friday no night for their 1st game since his death. a memorial in the making to kobe bryant and
