the u.s. president elect joe biden unveils his oppose this 9 same task force he warns it will be months until of vaccines widely available and says the u.s. has a dark winter ahead. and as things go downhill for amusement parks because of the virus and just has one venue is mixing pleasure. i'm rebecca it is welcome to the program protests have erupted in armenia after its prime minister agreed to a peace deal with as a vision the truce ends the fighting in the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh and allows as a vision to kape its territorial gains at least a 1000 people have been killed since the longstanding conflict erupted again in september russian media that the ceasefire which moscow says will enable

a permanent end to the bloodshed. thousands of armenians demonstrated outside government headquarters in the capital yerevan to show their displeasure over the country's peace deal with azerbaijan that also includes russia as a peacekeeper hundreds of the protesters actually made it inside the government building where they were also able to ransack some of the offices. just earlier armenian prime minister nicole pushing ian had released a statement on social media saying that he had signed a declaration with the presidents of russia and azerbaijan to end the war he also called the decision incredibly painful both for him and his people he said the decision was based on what he called a deep analysis of the combat situation he called it the best possible and. russian president vladimir putin also announced the end of hostilities and cited

russia's role in the agreement. as the republics of azerbaijan and armenia are to stop at the positions they have taken peacekeeping forces of russia are being set up along the line of contact in the corner and along the corridor connecting nagorno-karabakh with the republic of armenia. during 6 weeks of fighting as are by shanny forces had been making steady inroads into nagorno-karabakh they claim that they had taken many settlements but armenia disputes that the region had been in armenia hands since it won a war with azerbaijan in 1904 the territories also mainly inhabited by armenians azerbaijan claims it has always been an integra part of its country. and then on monday a russian military helicopter at the russian base in armenia was shot down killing both occupants azerbaijan said it was responsible and that it had made

a mistake russia has relationships with both countries however it's still not clear whether the downing of the helicopter had played a major role in the sudden peace agreement. with more on this i'm joined by daytime emmys arrant thanks for coming in you were just back from covering this conflict. did this news come as a surprise no i don't really think it does you have to remember the armenian prime minister has been signaling for weeks now that he was ready to accept very painful compromises to prevent the complete capitulation of the governor and he was very light in specifics leading up to this decision but it basically reflects the reality on the ground i mean since the get go the armenian military has been on the back foot they haven't been able to prevent the azerbaijani forces from from projection the power forward into the government so i really think the equation for him was simple if he doesn't accept some losses he's going to lose the entire

region and that would be a devastating blow for the armenians living in the garden a car bomb it is of course part of azerbaijan legally but it's been controlled by armenian forces since the 1990 s. so i think it was a bitter pill to swallow but it just really reflects the reality on the ground what does this mean for mania both in nickel and i pad back and back in time well while i was there i was able to speak to many military observers and then also just refugees who have fled the area and what they all kind of said to me is the government has in the last several decades become a real symbol for them it's about the struggle of the armenian people you have to remember this is a people who had a genocide committed against them in 1015 and as many of them told me there there are people that's surrounded by enemies. all sides there and as many refugees told me for them this is about a matter of survival they say it's about their culture surviving in the entire region it's not just about the villages that they're losing here it's about the survival of their culture moving forward so while many armenians i spoke to said

that they would never turn their back on the government for them it really must seem like the government is doing that and of course russia played a big role in this can you elaborate what was russia's well well for russia this deal is really kind of a win win situation you have to remember russia has a mutual defense pact with armenia and if the conflict actually gone directly to me as border that could have drawn russia into an actual shooting war a military conflict in the region and given the influence of turkey in the region iran that something iran russia rather really didn't want to get involved with at the same time this gives them an opportunity to do the thing that they've wanted to do for decades now russia really would like to become kind of a new united states they want the clout to be able to negotiate peace in various parts of the world in the mid east and then also in their near periphery so at the same time this allows them to avoid a larger conflict and gives them more international clout on the international stage and for russia that was really seem like

a win win at the same time many armenians i spoke to said they hoped moscow would come in and take a more active role in the conflict and of course they're going to be very very disappointed by this turn of events and you know i think that's part of the reason we're seen such such anger unfold in the streets if you have on like we are seeing right now. thanks very much to report to you thanks for coming in. let's take a quick look at some other stories that making news around the world this hour u.s. president donald trump has fired his defense secretary mark esper presidents who win reelection often replace cabinet ministers losing presidents have generally kept their pentagon chiefs in place until leaving office as for anger trump this summer when he opposed the use of the military to quell black lives matter protests . tropical storm battered the u.s. state of florida causing flooding and property damage earlier the storm left a trail of destruction across central america hitting panama water molecule and

honduras dozens are dead and many others are missing. in peru congress has voted overwhelmingly to oust the country's president martin vizcaya as impeachment was prompted by corruption allegations and his handling of the pandemic peru has one of the world's highest coded mortality rates is congress says he won't challenge the congress' decision. is the most promising development yet in efforts to control the coronavirus pandemic germany's beyond tech and u.s. drug maker pfizer have announced their experimental vaccine is more than 90 percent effective in clinical trials the vaccine is expected to be submitted to us so far sees for emergency approval this month and if given the green light it could be rolled out in limited quantities by the end of this year. the hope for an effective vaccine against the corona virus could be growing german company by own taxes test

results are more promising than expected. as our results are showing that after the interim evaluation the vaccine is able to prevent infections with over 90 percent probability. so. this is how the so-called m r n a vaccine works genetic information from the corona virus is brought into the human body via a messenger molecule the body then uses it to produce viral proteins against which the immune system forms antibodies those antibodies should then defend against covert 19 more than 43000 people around the world have been vaccinated. these vaccines are being developed very quickly at the moment but we have a considerable group of people who have now been vaccinated and they aren't showing significant side effects so this gives us hope. biotech and us drug from pfizer say they plan to produce nearly one and

a half 1000000000 doses by the end of next year but this is i don't want to rule out the possibility we could receive approvals here but it is also possible it doesn't happen till next year. these new results could accelerate that process of more on this potentially exciting development let's bring in derek williams from day to the science derek the whole weld is waiting for a vaccine against cove at 19 how close are we to returning to some kind of normal life. well that's the $1000000.00 question isn't it i can say that since yesterday i am a lot more hopeful that it's going to happen. along the timelines that we all would like the best base a best case scenario would be that we would see sort of. large scale vaccination by spring time and and and getting this approval or not this approval but but these results at this particular moment just indicate that if authorities

get on top of it we could see people actually getting vaccinations and you're so so that's incredibly positive is incredibly positive news yes and definition good news had lost the downside from this trial says it's 90 percent effective what exactly does that mean. well that they give in testing like this this this sort of large scale double blind studies basically they're giving tens of thousands of people either the vaccine or a placebo and nobody knows whether they're getting the vaccine including the people who are giving it to the patients and and then they basically they sit back and wait and they and they and they see how many people from each of those 2 different cohorts they call them how many people actually get infected and you have to wait for a while and then after that a certain number of people have been infected you call that data and you say and an independent board looks at whether or not they got the vaccine or whether or not they got the placebo so you can see how many people from each cohort actually got

infected and in this particular case there were 94 people who got infected and out of that they said 90 percent of them were apparently people who got the placebo so so less than 8 of those $94.00 had been given the vaccine that's what that that's what that particular data mean so so that means it's 90 percent effective if you think about the fact that basically authorities were saying we want one that's at least 50 percent effective 90 percent effective is actually huge or what is being down then globally to ensure that a vaccine where thinks one or another one will be effective and safe. well that's why they they give these vaccines to tens of thousands of people and the safety issue is the next issue that's really on the table you have to you have to make sure that if you're going to give it to potentially not just tens of thousands of people but they'll use of people worldwide you have to make sure that people are going to have seriously adverse reactions to it and that's part of the press in this this process and this phase 3 trial that they that they say they have to wait

they're waiting for at least 2 months since they gave the 2nd dose that each of in this particular vaccine the test subjects get 2 doses and they have to wait for 2 months afterwards to make sure there are no serious adverse effects so far they haven't seen any that doesn't mean that they won't come that doesn't mean that there won't be a problem but right now things look very good and they'll continue to track those people over the course of the next 2 years to make sure that there aren't some kind of long term problems that crop up but as of right now in terms of the effect as the we talked about that the 90 percent fantastic has been seems to be very effective and the question of safety it's still up in the air but that so far is also looking good too i think is cross to you know things going well this could be being rolled out a even a sane as the end of the year how long will it take until we can all get one day. well that's a that's a different question 1st of all that's going to depend on how long it's already set

on approval 1st of all and i think that they're going to move very quickly i think that we will be seeing people if they decide that it's a fact that it's safe as well as effective which should take by the end of november they're going to the company is going to announce ok we've seen no serious adverse effects and i think that authorities are probably going to move quickly i think we're going to see some at least some preliminary approval by the end of the year which will mean that they'll be able to start vaccinating people by the end of the year health care workers people at risk and then they've already been ramping up production the entire time in the background in the hope that this would prove safe and effective so they're talking about up to a 1000000000 doses which would mean half a 1000000 people half half a 1000000000 people could get could get vaccinated by possibly sometime next year it's going to take time we're going to have a very difficult one to in front of us we're not going to have the vaccine tomorrow but by the middle of next year i think that we're going to be seeing wide scale wide scale vaccination and don't forget this is only one vaccine candidate there

are others out there as well so this is also a ray of hope that maybe they're going to receive approval too soon so things can go quite quickly from here on but quickly in vaccination terms or in terms of a large scale vaccination program is a relative term when terry thanks very much terrie williams from date of the science you'll see more of derek in today's edition of 19th special. when i made the optimism my friend coronavirus back saying u.s. president elect joe biden is warning the country is still facing a quote very dark quintet infections are soaring in many states and tens of thousands more americans are likely to die of the virus before joe biden takes office in january 20th he says he wants a science led response to the pandemic and he's unveiled a tame of public health experts to lay the way. it was only in january this year when the united states registered its 1st 9 corona virus infection now the country

has sped past a grim milestone 10000000 confirmed cases. president elect joe biden says the pandemic will be the priority of his new administration he spent the day showing off his newly announced coronavirus task force which will advise how to get the virus under control. this group. plants built on a bedrock of science and they keep compassion empathy and care for every american at its core making a rapid test. he stressed the importance of moscow wearing a measure that many countries have adopted but that's become highly politicized especially in the u.s. . this time in the politicization of basic responsible public health steps like mask social distancing we have to come together to heal the soul of this country so

that we can effectively address this crisis as one country. botton won't officially take hold of the leaves of power until january but many in the us a get to see more leadership on the issue. the government needs to follow through on the vaccine program and start doing a lot of things that the current government been doing for many months i think that they need to enforce. them more. and just heard social distancing. the outgoing president donald trump didn't address the new case milestone as he said ministration faces another outbreak of infections in its own ranks housing secretary ben carson and chief of staff mark meadows among them. with news of a vaccine on the horizon health experts in the u.s.

have urged people not to grow complacent warning that vigilance will be required for many more months. they debbie's washington bureau chief in as paul is following the president elect's 1st steps she sent us this update from washington was more than 10000000 cold cases in the u.s. and over 270000 americans who died of the wire us president elect joe biden fulfilled his campaign promise and made the fight against the pandemic his number one priority in his 1st speech as president legs he announced that he wants to implement a nationwide mosque mandate where he will work with local governments to help facilitate a policy he also addressed the issue of how african americans have been hit the hardest by this to see is he wants to ensure that they have access to p.p. and tests to help bridge that gap as soon as possible. during his speech address

the fires of axiom and said that he was happy to hear about the progress but tamps down the excitement of the news by making it clear that even if it's effective it won't be widely away little for months so he has made it a priority to push for more social distancing and mosque wearing to help slow down the spread of the virus most presidents elect have met quickly at the white house with the outgoing president to start the smooth transition of power from for example mad to bomb only 2 days after he got elected for a 90 minute talk so far we haven't seen anything from the trump administration to start this very complex act of transition from one leader to the next emily murphy who has been put in charge of help moving the new administration into the

white house has not even acknowledged by it in spain at this point we are not certain if there will be any exchange of information between president trump and president elect biden and this could disrupt the transfer of power. here in europe the pandemic rages on and currently a 2nd round of lockdowns is taking the expected toll on cultural businesses and institutions particularly the movie industry which is affected in many different ways starting with cancelled or drastically downsized film festivals. that turned out to be october 9th may when the come film festival finally took place but weather wise it all looked much the same as usual as always the red carpet was rolled out but was it all worth the effort. i headed up a few interviews in which people were asking about the death of see them. and now

we know that. they were there when but which films. but all those cinemas in some countries briefly reopened movie theaters throughout most of europe are now once again empty. on the cause that however the mood was relaxed. there were of course disinfection outside the festival palace. in the absence of hollywood a listers miss cantante 20 attracted a lot of attention as did a promising newcomer georgian director dia because she really had originally planned to show her film beginning at the festival back in may it went on to win at the sun sebastiaan film festival in september. the drama about a group of jehovah's witnesses in a small georgian town illustrates why streaming films at home on your couch just isn't the same as going to the cinema in

a movie theater you can immerse yourself in the experience. how much do we really see what's really happening in front of us or who are the people in front of us that without constantly intellectualizing our bringing our point of view to explain but to 1st experience and to see and maybe think about it later. for a while beginning received accolades encounter it's still unclear whether many other major films will make it into movie theaters at all for being here including the new batman in which robert pattinson plays the dark knight in his younger years the original release was scheduled for june 2021 but it now seems more likely to come out in march 28th to. watch the trailer to the end and you get the impression the production company is not feeling optimistic.

and batman is not the only one who's worried. an entire industry has been hung out to dry with many theaters now on the brink the film 10 it had recently provided a small boost but now theater owners are being left out in the cold. as it's not seen as of course this is a disaster for us and in 2 ways one thing is having to close and stop taking in revenue while continuing to incur costs movie theaters financial buffers are now in the red and the other thing which is very film specific is that people are forgetting about movie theaters and films may all be moving over to streaming services which would be devastating for us even for him. it's probably the longest foreplay and double 07 scurried his latest outing was scheduled for release in april this year and was then pushed back to november when

his bond finally coming. for you all of us i just want to go she actions with streaming providers are rumored to be underway will bond be in our living rooms this christmas come on. director patti jenkins has so far denied all the streaming rumors her wonder woman sequel is still set to be released in theaters but if the code crisis worsens all bets will be off. and how about khan 2021 director charity for the most says he hopes to hold the festival without masks and social distancing he's even prepared to move it from its traditional may spot to make possible. so many places where we can be social have closed because of a pandemic that includes amusement parks around the world many have sat empty when usually they may get thousands of visitors every day in japan one pub has come up with a new business model that offers

a combination of play and work. things have been going downhill for quite a while and then and the number of visitors has hit a record low since the pandemic struck but the theme park hopes to turn things around with a pivot to office space. cuban dingaan you know you've got a little change to my mood i think anyone who works at the same place every day will run out of ideas that mentally. instead of working from home this i t consultant can now work poolside. for 15 years the day he gets electricity why 5 and loads of sunshine. she said yes it's strange but i can actually concentrate here better than i thought through the cubic yards from us and . the only jury then used to be one of japan's most popular theme parks but it had been losing to strong competitors such as tokyo disneyland change was essential

for survival in the pandemic struck prompting the 50 year old park to get creative . secada decides to work on a ferris wheel today he can sit and roller coasters instead but that's just too impractical. it wheel is perfect for video conferences it's quiet and has an unbeatable view who. considers this it is that. whether you're working near the pool or in a ferris wheel the noise level is surprisingly low in other people's conversations aren't distracting the mechanical noises don't bother me either i didn't expect that it's really nice to greet us. for theme parks like yomiuri land the pandemic poses a big challenge but thanks to adventures office workers things may be looking up again. weaving our studio to. definitely gets my vote as you're watching it day
