will go to the front of the queue when a successful vaccine is actually released because they won't initially be enough to inoculate all 82000000 people in the country yes she says the country needs a rigorous debate on the issue. but what's important what's also important to me personally is that this debate is not only a parliamentary political and not only a scientific one but that we take this discussion to every lunch table to every workplace to every call of friends and acquaintances and that it is discussed in germany in the end it needs a high level of acceptance acceptance so neither hasa outlined the recommendations the health minister is considering the stage. well you know young spawn has said again so with today's news it's looking even more likely that we might have access to a vaccine but what's also clear already is that there will not be enough for everybody straight away and spawn outlined the situation where somebody goes to the

doctors and then is turned away because simply there is no vaccine available for that person so he says it's important to have that debate at the moment so that the entire society can agree on which groups need to have access fast which is why unspun and other experts are discussing the set of priorities and they're trying to prepare the population that there needs to be priorities and that the coronavirus vaccination will happen in so called vaccination centers that are currently being built there not quite there yet but they're saying they have a bit of time until they have the 1st vaccine and then vaccinations will happen there and so they're saying that the 1st group who would get access to the vaccine would be of course high risk groups and to avoid fatalities and then people who look after those high risk groups and doctors nurses etc who are exposed to the virus a lot and then people who work in areas that are essential and vital to maintain

public life such as the police or europe are seeing this this surge in cases at the moment and that's happening here in germany as well that the health minister has warned about the health system becoming overwhelmed what is the situation in germany at the moment. well i just take a look at the hospitals and experts and hospital manages a saying that the situation there is already west and it was in spring during the 1st wave because there are a considerably more covert patients in regular hospital beds at the moment then that we're in spring and many of those will end up having to go into intensive care and it does take 4 weeks these experts are saying for the current high record numbers in new infections to actually translate into higher numbers in i.c.u. patients so we're not seeing those numbers quite yet and some hospitals have already exceeded their capacity that transferring patients to other clinics there are still some beds that are free nationwide about 7500 but the big concern is of

course that that number might windell very fast political correspondent and you know how to thank you. because this is a big news that everyone's looking for at the moment i'll just repeat that german based a pharmaceutical company beyond tack says one of the vaccines is developing is more than 90 percent effective against covered 19 so has this affecting the markets and chelsea delaney's our financial correspondent in front welcome chelsea i was this news i've done down there. it's been a huge huge boost for markets here in frankfurt the dax is already up about 2 percent on the u.s. election results but after this news came in from pfizer and we saw markets really shoot up the dax is up almost 6 percent right now and we're seeing this particularly and the stocks of things like airlines and travel companies for example tonnes of the german airline is up about 20 percent the british airways and

i had 2 years up about 30 percent so clearly a lot of investors are now betting on some sort of return to normality in the near future and there had been a little bit concerned because some of these trials have been halted for safety concerns that the timeline was going to get pushed further and further out but this is really giving people a lot of hope that perhaps by early next year we could start seeing this vaccine being rolled out still we have public health officials warning that even as even as these that vaccines are approved it likely won't have the full population and so much further out and so next year so a little bit too early to be jumping to these hopes of a new return to normality but you've chosen to let me in front of friends. let's turn to some of the other stories making news around the world was started in your bar drawing which has been celebrating after the president announced the capture of shusha key city in the disputed region of mcgoldrick cairo back as

a by john has been fighting army forces since late september to retake territory lost in 1994 on media do not use it sure it's not you know i was there as. police in the georgian capital tbilisi have used water cannon to disperse thousands of protesters demonstrating against last month's parliamentary elections the electoral commission says the ruling georgian dream. but the opposition is rejecting the results and calling for new elections. riot police into. i wouldn't have hope for the pro-democracy march to the world past protesters say they want to deliver better demanding reforms to the monarchy talent to say no but stay in the rally since july also calls for the removal of the prime minister. a german chancellor angela merkel has described balance ties with the united states as a mutual treasure that should continue for generations she was giving her 1st on

camera remarks on the u.s. election since democrat joe biden defeated donald trump by end the friendship of our 2 countries is one that has to the test of time even over many decades many people here and there live with this german american friendship it is a treasure that we must preserve that we must cherish and we must pass on to new generation those of europeans and americans of germans and americans we are allies in nato we share common values from the dignity of the individual from the rule of law and democracy and we have common interests as well i mean the united states of america and germany as parts of the european union must stand together to tackle to make sure challenges facing us in this day and age we must stand side by side to cope with the test that is the pandemic we must fight against

global warming. we must fight against terrorism and stand side by side for open global economy and for free trade this is the foundation of our prosperity on both sides of the atlantic. well joe biden has signaled that he wants to get to work on forming his administration immediately he's expected to start with naming a 12 member coronavirus task force later today tackling the pandemic will be his 1st major task his team says the new administration plans to do more nationwide testing and that americans will be asked to wear masks the other priorities include the economy tackling racism and climate change which means rejoining the paris climate agreement president to trump has yet to concede defeat these lawyers say they will launch legal challenges to the election results later on monday. greeted by chance of loser. the u.s.

presidential motorcade weaves its way to trump national golf course for the 2nd day in a row. donald trump taking a shot at forgetting an election loss. he spent the morning in stubborn denial of his defeat refusing to concede to democrat joe biden and giving air to disproven theories of election fraud several prominent republicans in congress have made supportive statements saying the election's not over yet. there's a lot of shenanigans going on here if our president trump i would take all this to court fight back and from a republican point of view mellon balloting is a nightmare for us the post office is now the new election center now more than the republicans have expressed more confidence in the electoral process while saying trump's legacy will endure. well he is without question the most powerful voice in

our party. he will have an enormous impact on our party going forward. i believe the great majority of people who voted for donald trump want to make sure that his principles and his policies are pursued. with the trump administration planning multiple legal challenges over the voting process a concession speech still seems far off. let's look ahead the future relationship with the united states said james the big bindon our goal is a former deputy u.s. ambassador to east germany is now professor of international security of the university of bone welcome to you how will joe biden presidency change relations between washington and belin. well certainly a commitment to the european relationship will be the 1st part of the statement by chance america is really on that joe biden shares his whole life has been on on the

german and european relationship thing the tone will be different but there be a lot of other changes that will not happen the people or maybe even expecting. for instance. well certainly you have to look at what you just heard from republicans that there are 70000000 americans who voted for trump and trump will remain a force in american politics the question really is on what basis the basis is 1st of all they're not all racist and and people that are white supremacist they're really people who are been left behind they've been left behind by globalization 'd they've been left behind by the financial crisis and trade agreements so they have real grievances that will sustain what they're doing that is actually the challenge for joe biden joe biden not only has to start with the pandemic because the economy cannot recover it people are sick and not able to work but he'll have to reach deal with those issues that come not only for republicans who voted for trump and also

for his own part of the democrats. and that means that he will have to work on creating jobs and that it will have an impact immediately on the relationship with with europe ok so the international relations what what really a big pot of the u.s. and elections i was supposed it was sort of doing our best to meet the rooms as far as and the relationship with europe you said that germany a is due to play a massive pot and not just expound on that for a place. sure what we really have seen is that since you german unification if enjoy it all of us germans and americans what i call the banality of good it's been very nice we've been freewriting and they and security issues because we really haven't had a war in europe until 2014 when putin and the crane an am extra but there are

there are issues that we won't fight we can't final and that's really the basic point we can't fight the pinnacle on we can't fight climate alone we can't fight or deal with the trade practices of china and the increasing power or influence that china has we can't do any of those things and we can also deal with the with the russians and digitalization this change in the world with the googles in the face books there are lots of things that while we didn't have a foreign policy debate in the united states election campaign we do have issues that we cannot solve by the my ourselves germany has a special role to play in all of this germans have are the strongest of the most popular full and also the most prosperous country in europe and it needs to work together with the europeans particularly france and poland to men sure that the

european union remains united and actually had actually make some decisions what merkel but chancellor merkel said this afternoon was. that germany would take on more responsibility germany and europe would take on more responsibility including in terms of defense that's what the challenge is for the europeans to remain a strong partner in the transatlantic relationship and that means that they will have to do more not burden sharing in this 2 percent discussion so rather burden ship burden shifting means taking on more responsibility could token give us a clear professor thank you james been denied from the university. well world leaders have been sending messages of congratulations to the joe biden and his running mate carla harris 2 notable exceptions a russia and china joe biden joe biden's triumph is being celebrated well beyond the borders of the u.s.

world leaders from every continent have congratulated the new president elect. the e.u. stands ready to intensify cooperation with the new administration and the new congress there's a lot to do if you go we can strengthen our ties from our foundation of friendship and partnership. britain germany france and other european countries were the 1st along with canada to send neck and regulations most expressed parts of renewed unity and cooperation following 4 years of tense diplomacy. very much to working with president biden and his team on a lot of crucial stuff for us in that in the weeks and months ahead tackling climate change trade international security many many many many other issues on the streets there appears to have been a collective sigh of relief from europe. i am relieved because these last days of insecurity that were weighing on my heart have been lifted will not merit the last

few years is over. for us to see what i meant that he said that will certainly be a new political direction especially when it comes to the environment. so i can see stuff such as i see a brighter future than before. asia. but in seems open to accepting people's different viewpoints and wants to move forward in a united manner that's positive. africa. i am absolutely thrilled that byron's won and a little bit scared about what i did next while. i think he's a he's a partisan. area unpredictable. and the middle east they say charms better for as raul but i think when you're better for the world you're better for israel to do this office us hard bargain is very different from trump trump fully das and wanted

us to appease him 3. countries with a historically difficult relationship with the us but in selection of perhaps little hard. for the future development of the china u.s. relationship trump didn't do a good job i don't hold much hope for biden turn. but i'm. i do but i'm a drummer we talked about improving relations with russia but it didn't come to anything. biden is openly against russia. or for a here. and now on biden and what changes he may bring to foreign diplomacy for the us. well so far russia has said only that we need to wait until a file official a result is really so that's bringing moscow bureau chief and welcome your. signals. i think feel of the old allegations russians would have meddled in the us

elections for the kremlin now it's important not to show immediately and use of the directly with one or the other candidate and also not to show solidarity with all the best our leaders to congratulate to joe biden as you senator graham and spokesperson biscoe said president putin is just waiting for the official results 1st which from he's point of view would be the only correct reaction but there is on the other hand phil something that has already overshadowed moscow's relations with joe biden almost 10 years ago and maybe coots now explain moscow's muted all that say observe interaction and 2011 biden came to moscow to meet then prime minister vladimir putin off to his talks with let me putin he surprisingly visited the opposition politicians here and told them that if he were putin he wouldn't stand for a 3rd term as president that idea wouldn't be good at all things that and that all of these words sounded like a threat back then and of course couldn't be quickly forgotten in the kremlin even

almost 10 years later right so you use a sparrow this is likely to cast a shadow over u.s. russia relations. because i think so russian experts don't expect an hour reset in their relations between washington and moscow the u.s. policy towards russia and the biden more still likely be more predictable than on the trungpa but at the same time it could be tough let's say this subject of human rights for example could be high on the agenda and that this issue is traditionally uncomfortable for the kremlin but they could be on the other hand some points of possible cooperation as well between moscow and washington experts see 3 possible feel syria the 1st one is nuclear disarmament the so-called star 3 agreement it expires in february of next year just a month after the inauguration of the next u.s. president and the 2nd area concerns the iranian nuclear program trump left of the

deal and russia has been trying to safe it and biden that the u.s. could come back to the negotiation table and without russia experts say it would be obviously almost impossible to restart the peace negotiations and of the 3rd common area could be the paris climate agreement withdrew the guest from the deal in $2717.00 while russia ratified is it a year later so even though with some restrictions. russia moscow. tropical storm atter has made landfall in southern florida bringing more heavy rains to an area that's been drenched for weeks packing sustained winds of 100 kilometers an hour it's carved a path of destruction through the caribbean causing hundreds of deaths. made landfall in the florida keys on sunday a hurricane and storm surge warning was issued for the area. authorities declared
