this is d.w. news live from berlin a deal to end fighting in nagorno-karabakh * that meets with joy and outrage celebration on the streets of azerbaijan which now sil's its games in the disputed territory while in armenia people stormed parliament demanding resignations after the prime minister agreed to respect the russian brokered cease fire but also coming up. reaction to the polish great light at the end it became. a coronavirus

axiom that is 90 percent the fact is we will see how germany is buying tack and u.s. pharmaceutical giant pfizer have the world daring to hope. plus u.s. president elect joe biden unveiling his coded 19 task force he warns that until a vaccine is widely available the u.s. has a dark winter ahead. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program protests have erupted in armenia after its prime minister agreed to a peace deal with azerbaijan the truce and the fighting in the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh and allows us or by john to keep its territorial days now at least a 1000 people have been killed since the longstanding conflict erupted again in september russia mediated the cease fire 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 nicola fenian 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.

of 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 azerbaijani 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. and let's get more now we are joined by leon in istanbul you're even shadow has a view from moscow and yulia i'd like to begin with you because you've been covering the conflict you were recently in azerbaijan how significant is the cease fire especially given the territorial gains on the part of azerbaijan. when we look at the images coming in right now from by john we see people celebrating on the streets waving flags driving around in motorcades and these people are not celebrating another cease fire agreement they are celebrating victory and this is how it's being sold by the leadership in baku the message here is we won and this is because under this new deal by john can keep the area

as it has right now under its control so including the areas it has gained over the past week so most importantly maybe the town of show in the cold sure she in armenian language it's a very strategic location and we heard president. john talking last night and he said the armenian prime minister had no other option then to sign this deal and i quote mr lee is here he said it was essentially a copy to lation. we want to get the reaction also from our ask you about that in just a moment but 1st yuri i know you're going to talk about the the wider regional view especially as you're sitting in moscow right now because we know that armenia has a defense deal with russia azerbaijan new time strongly backed by turkey given all of that what is the view from moscow today. well sarah russia has conceded to your

sad doesn't protect all of our media but in reality moscow refused a long time to do anything specific in this conflict and this let's say reluctant position was obviously undermined has obviously undermined russia's prestige in the eyes of potential partners and allies so that russia now seems to change it yes that that will play peace talks in moscow in the recent weeks of that and that with a peace deal but that the deal was broken just allies off the signing off the signing and brought no pieces of you know russia's obvious in action culminated in a letter. that the prime minister and he called russian young girl to a few weeks ago asking the russian president to finally decide what kind of concrete and 8 russia is going to offer a shoot to the conflict escalate further even back then this was a clear sign signal that armenia didn't didn't feel well enough protected by russia which moscow now is likely to change trying to be at peace keeping in the region

indeed armenia has been a difficult position throughout especially because now as a by john is saying that turkey will play a role in the so-called peace keeping process yulia i'll turn to you now will the armenians really accept that. well right now turkey's role in this so-called peacekeeping process is somewhat ambiguous we don't know what kind of a role we are talking about but i guess it's safe to assume that any kind of turkish presence in the area is a very very painful to accept for many armenians that azerbaijan has been pushing for this for stronger turkish and woman when it comes to the future of nagorno-karabakh turkey is as of a johns most important support especially militarily they have been providing the azeri army without weapons and training and my impression is that this has really edged the leadership in on to continue with their military operation in the corner

in the past week so it's hardly surprising as i john is pushing for turkey to get involved and it's hardly surprising to see the reactions here from turkish high ranking officials the foreign minister for example today hailed the latest developments as a significant gain so turkey too is framing this as a success as a victory for azerbaijan and turkey yury meantime a really big part of this deal of this is something that we have not seen before this is a big 1st russian peacekeepers will be deployed to this region just to walk us through how big a deal this is strategically for moscow welfare and seem so internationally indeed is going to send about 2000 peacekeepers a lot of armored vehicles lots of special equipment and a lot of ground for the next 5 years that sounds like a really big deal but don't forget that russia already has

a military pact with armenia and a military base in the country and to know russia just finally seems to wake up so to say and to do something concrete militarily in this conflict. i'd also like to ask you because there have already been 3 attempts at a truce here since this conflict escalated in the beliefs of early fall all have failed what are the prospects not only that this cease fire holds but also that there is a longer term peace reached between these 2 sides well i think this time the circumstances are different and everything happened really fast since last night and as we hear hundreds of russian troops so-called peace keepers already being deployed to so new facts are being created on the ground right now so the last 3 attempts at

a ceasefire were actually brokered by the so-called minsk group that is part of the organization for security and cooperation in europe and this means quote consists of russia but also france and the united states these 2 players the 2 western players seem to be out of the pictures or out of the picture now so now it's basically russia and turkey it's also going to be interesting to see. how the situation in armenia develops we see that many people are extremely frustrated with the developments are angry are protesting are demanding prime minister to step down so you have the very different emotions here right now a victory on the johnny side but anger and frustration on the armenian side. with the view from istanbul yury were shadow in moscow thank you so much to both of you . let's look at some other stories making news around the world longtime spokes person and veteran peace negotiator for the palestinians siad erekat has died

following complications related to cope with 19 he had been hospitalized last month for treatment after his contention deteriorated he served as chief palestinian negotiator for nearly 2 decades he was 65. never u.s. attorney general william barr has authorized federal prosecutors to look into allegations of voter irregularities in the presidential election it is the 1st time that he has addressed president donald trump's repeated and unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud since last week's election one by democrat joe biden. sit is across florida are cleaning up after tropical storm at flooded entire neighborhoods forecasters say that it could really intensify as it moves up the southwest coast at a strong central america last week as a hurricane authorities in honduras have doubled the country's death toll to at

least $57.00. it is the most promising development yet in efforts to control the coronavirus pandemic germany is biotech and u.s. drug maker pfizer have announced their experimental vaccine is more than 90 percent effective in clinical trials the vaccines expected to be submitted to u.s. authorities for emergency approval this month if given the green light it could be rolled out in limited quantities of the end of this year. it's somehow fitting that beyond takes headquarters in the german city of mines is located on a street called at the gold mine because the german biotechnology company along with its american partner pfizer just may have struck it big. as the results are showing that after an interim evaluation the vaccine is able to prevent infection with over 90 percent probability. so. if the

results are confirmed the vaccine would be a major breakthrough in the fight against covered 19 financial markets and researchers were delighted with the results. because the this is been the best news that we've heard out of the medical industry since the pandemic began. these vaccines are of course being developed a very quickly at the moment but we've had a considerable group of people who have now been vaccinated and they aren't showing significant side effects this is something that gives us hope because he has held the so-called m r and a vaccine works genetic information from the corona virus is brought into the human body by our messaging 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 the drug have been developed in mines but the effort to develop a vaccine against cover 19 is truly a global one hundreds of people would be on tech laboratory in sao paulo brazil

have already received the vaccine and they're just one group of among 44000 volunteers involved in testing worldwide most of the volunteers are in the americas but there are others in europe and africa the company says so far there have been no serious side effects. this is the. it's important that we test the vaccine on people from different regions. and different ethnic groups. should make sure that any possible side effects don't vary for people with different ancestry. beyond taken 5 and now planning to apply later this month for emergency use approval in the u.s. even if it all goes well authorities have stressed it's unlikely any vaccine will arrive before the end of the year. and germany's health minister has called the

news very encouraging but spawn warned against false expectations saying the vaccine won't be available over night he said that coordinating with germany's european partners was essential in putting a stop to the pent up. of the storage germany france and other countries certainly signed contracts nationally there is no doubt that this would have been possible and we would have got the contracts and found the people to talk to. the question is whether this would have responded to our understanding of european solidarity if the 345 notch member states which are also a track to pharmaceutical markets work to secure vaccine doses for themselves and smaller e.u. member states which are perhaps not quite as strong only have the chance if i told to obtain contracts and vaccine doses months later offer to go into inflows into the equipment and that was germany's health minister let's bring in now debbie is

derek williams from d.w. science who has been following all of this for us derek how optimistic should we be about all of this and how close could everyone be to returning to some sort of normal life. well it's obvious that the news is is very good news and it's important to say everybody keeps saying too that these are interim results and of course it's you know these are interim results that were reported by the a company and a press release so you have to take that into consideration we still have to look at the data other scientists have to look at the data but that said there's it looks very very good if it ends up holding water. very large scale study afic a c. is then one of the big questions 90 percent a sick a c. is way way more than and then they were hoping for they it's that sort of a bottom bottom rung of about 50 percent efficiency and so 90 percent is a big great news so what exactly does that mean though darrick 90 percent effective

. they they give they've basically in these large scale phase 3 trials they they give cohorts tens of thousands of people as we heard 44000 people in this particular case are taking part in the trial and half of them have been given the vaccine and the other half and given a placebo now neither they know nor of the doctors that have given it to them know which one they got and that's pacific times during that during during the trial they stop and they look and see how many people have become infected at this particular point it was it's 9494 people out of both of those correlates cohorts have become infected with copd at 19 and they basically a 3rd party and independent review board looked at the information on how many of those patients were from the cohort that got the placebo and how many were from the cohort that got the vaccine and basically they're saying 9 in 10 of those people

who got it were from the placebo cohort so that means that less than 10 or less than 9 of the people out of those $94.00 who got the work people who got the vaccine so that's where that 90 percent number comes from which means that that is that fear is to be a very very strong and call it a very strong and powerful immune response in the people who get it while it sounds like encouraging news derek but i mean there are so many hurdles of course ahead so let's talk a little bit about that i mean you know 1st we have to learn more about this vaccine that we need to be produced distributed and significant quantities and then people need to be convinced to take it all to mentally what is being done right now globally to ensure that a vaccine is effective and safe so that people indeed do trust it. well these these trials i mean that's the 2nd you mentioned save safety is the 2nd aspect of these large trades phase 3 trials they are. world wide they've been

following this isn't the 1st large or this isn't the 1st trial that this that this vaccine has gone through it's been going through a series of smaller ones before hand that have been looking at that look very closely at whether or not getting this vaccine was putting people in danger and so far the results have shown that yes tick there can be some fairly mild side in fact some sometimes aching joints and shivering episodes there are some mild side effects but so far according to the data that they that they provided there haven't been in major side effects and so that in the long term benefits obviously of about see. would far outweigh any any small side effects so it looks to be fairly safe but they're they're still waiting on that that's the next big hurdle that has to be cleared but snacks in about 3 weeks by the end of november we're we're going to hear more information about the safety but so far it seems to look ok so that's safety on the how about production and distribution any any sort of gas any sort of potential timeline just briefly mo they're saying they're saying up to you know

there could be they could be vaccinating people by the end of your a few no young that expected to be next year they said that they could get up to $1300000000.00 it's so possibly half a 1000000 it's not it's not the end of the race but it brings possibly the end of the race inside. really interesting stuff derek williams from data science as always breaking it all down for us and i know that you're going to have more for our viewers who are interested and that is part of our covert 19 special that people can watch on you tube so now amid all the optimism of a coronavirus vaccine u.s. president elect joe biden is warning the country is still facing a quote very dark winter according to a tally by reuters news agency more people than ever are now hospitalized with kovac in the u.s. by then says that he wants a science led response to the pandemic and he has unveiled a team of public health experts to lead 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 on the control. this group will wise on ditto plants built on a bedrock of science and they keep compassion empathy and care for every american at its core making a rapid test in widely available. 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 leaders of power until january but many in the us a get to see more leadership on the issue. of the new 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 big need to enforce a massive more. and just heard social distancing. going president donald trump didn't address the new case milestone as he's administrator in faces an outbreak of infections in its own ranks housing secretary ben carson and chief of staff mark medders 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. well let's take a look now at some other developments in the coronavirus pandemic brazil's health regulator says that it has suspended clinical trials of the chinese developed a vaccine corona vax health authorities say that it is due to an adverse serious event involving a volunteer the u.s. food and drug administration has authorized emergency use of an experimental antibody treatment for non hospitalized patients the decision is based on a clinical trial showing that the treatment reduce the need for emergency room visits included 19 patients and australia is considering opening its borders to asian countries including parts of china it comes as the country has recorded its 3rd consecutive day of no new cases. well 3 men are on trial in spain for helping
