to stop assignments moving easily across from cheers. and this woman suffered lifelong injuries during a terrorist attack on the u.s. embassy in nairobi, 22 years ago. but she and many are by kenyan survivors, has been excluded from a compensation package. and germany's footballers face the czech republic party is that it overloaded with too many matches, put in play as a priest sharing that and damaging germany coach dawkins. it gives us his view i'm rebecca rich's welcome to the program. europe is set to secure with 300000000 doses of an experimental covert 9 tame vaccine developed by germany's biotech and the us pharmaceutical giant pfizer. a european commission president would have on the line is jew to approve if the deal on wednesday she describes it as the most

promising vaccine. so far, the makers say trials show their drug is more than 90 percent effective at preventing covert. 9 tain. here in germany as elsewhere, there is guarded optimism over the development. when human trials of b n t, $160.00 began earlier this year, no one knew if they would lead to a coronavirus vaccine. the reports that this substance is in fact highly effective, have brought new hope. germany's research minister is cautiously optimistic. has been there for one with an untold. i'm very pleased when they're actually encouraged by this beginning. and hopefully we will not have any setbacks with vaccines. you're never sure about that, but these positive initial reports give us a lot of hope. there from the german government has put more than 350000000 euros into this research over 40000. people have received doses of the maxine at the same time the approval procedure has been speeded up. could that mean

the drug isn't safe to say that we have not lowered our standards at all? people can be sure if this drug is approved, that will be according to the usual standard. we're used to here in germany. the surveys suggest 2 thirds of germans are ready to be vaccinated. that's enough to get kovi down to control, but not everyone is yet convinced it will work. i'll wait and see, but i'm not a risk patient. i should vaccinate those who need it 1st and then i'll get it if there's any left in manhattan to of course they've tested it on people who are relatively young and healthy. how will it affect older people? those with health problems? i'm not sure. yeah, sure. i think i would, yeah, but i mean, it can also like grow into something else, so it might not even work. i might trust a vaccine production has already begun in expectation that the

new vaccine will get full approval. the european union says it will order up to 300000000 doses. we have many countries back in lockdown measures. there's an urgency to have a means to beat the pandemic. see it as the same as there will be an initial vaccine in the 1st few months of 2021. gives me confidence, it's encouraging. it's a light at the end of the tunnel and this is least amended astronomer's. for most people, the new vaccine can't come soon enough. for more on brussels response to the back saying, i'm joined by peter lisa. he is coordinator for the committee on the environment, public health and food safety in the european parliament. this elizabeth, thanks for joining us. the research is largely coming from the a you by own take is a german company of course, but the who hasn't signed a deal to secure doses of the vaccine yet while the u.s. and the u.k.

have what, why is it? why is that? so the deal of the european union with my own take will be signed very soon, i guess in the next hour or so, every works is fixed. it took a while. that's true, and my assessment is that my own take is the german, as i mean, very, very serious people. they know their responsibility for europe or is it because they got, i think european money from city funds. but this is not a german assembly and ukraine. this hasn't been where is the problem? so there are some law yes. in the united states that have different, not just different position then we have the european union were able to accept. so we want the other companies, we are also making skating with 5 other companies. that they need to respect the european law and yeah, that was necessary. that's likely to quiet,

but now the deal is done. ok. and by s.m. maze of course, even small, medium sized enterprises in germany. now as well as africa saying, there are also huge logistical issues. the vaccine needs to be stored, for example, at minus 17 degrees celsius. most stuff is simply won't have those facilities do 8 countries have enough storage facilities to be able to roll out this vaccine effectively. yeah, this vaccine has a lot of advantages, for example, that it can be produced at large scale in a very short time. that will be important also for the rest of the work when we want to banks in a, not only europe and the rest, but also for example, western biocon or africa. but the disadvantage is the storage. we need to sophisticated technology. the member states of the european union are responsible for this and they have form and you know the commission is reach out to them. and i

guess we also need to have some of the member states because it is important that we not only have the vaccine but also the chain. i mean, why is it will not work mislead it, given these events and the fact that they are now unli yet to sign a deal today is the aim of the back of the queue for they fax ains. no, no, we are in the same line then united states and i guess the vaccine will be produced mainly in germany in for science. and if it isn't, it is not possible to imagine that it will be delivered to us apostles were it 1st . and as i sent the deal, it is done by treaty with the signed your being. ready the next i was and then it will be delivered at the same time to every part, not it has signed as a dealer. so we are not in the back of the queue. i guess we've got maybe slightly

better to you even then for example, the u.k. or the united states because we negotiate very tough or i paid speaking to us from brussels. thank you very much. thank you. the urgency of finding a vaccine can be seen in the recent surge in new covert cases. health care systems across europe have sounded the alarm with spikes in hospital admissions. and the numbers of people requiring intensive care units in italy. some people waiting at testing centers was so short of breath. they were given oxygen while still in their cars. and france has been recording the highest number of new cases in europe for weeks. our correspondents seem of good to in rome. lisa lewis in paris and alexander phenomena in brussels are standing by. good morning to you all same in rome. we're seeing dramatic pictures from italy. there fears that things might get

out of control again there. well, the concern is definitely growing. i mean, you just have to look at the daily inspections rates, as well as the number of deaths, unfortunately, as well as hospitalizations, as you mentioned. now in the last 24 oz, we saw some 35098 new infections and unfortunately 589000 deaths. now that's a significant jump from the day before, and it's the highest daily death toll since back in april 14th. and that was when the country was in a full lockdown. so the doctors associations here in italy are raising the alarm. they're saying they're seeing an increase of hospitalizations, seeing an increase in missions into the intensive care units. the situation is critical and they want more restrictions put in place that the scientists and the government a say they're going to continue with targeted lockdowns targeting specific regions

where they see a specific high increase in information's or particularly limited number of hospital occupancy. and they say that this method is working because they believe that there has been a slight de celebration in terms of the of inspections. they're continuing to monitor the situation and yet tightening their restrictions where required from today on words, find additional regions will be put in the so-called orange zone. and that means nobody can enter or leave those regions and bars and restaurants will be shut. they're also looking to increase the restrictions in another 5, egypt's including the region of companionway neighborhoods, including it is included in the experts say they're not ruling out for the moment, further restrictions, but they don't want a national lockdown. the question remains how long that will last. yeah, of course. optimism inside who want to get to paris with life, from his record of the highest daily infection numbers in europe. how are they

coping there? france's imposed one of europe's strictest lockdowns in our day and with a radius of one kilometer around where i live. however, this time around compared to the 1st lock down here in earlier this year, more shops are counting as essential and staying open. and most of the country's industry is still up and running. nevertheless, this new lockdown has managed to slow down the spread of the epidemic. and some people are hoping that the government might actually lose in restrictions later this week. that seems unlikely at this stage though, because government officials have been saying that the peak of the epidemic is still ahead of us and interior minister downer monologist told his police forces to better control, to carry out more controls in france to make sure that people here are actually respecting the rules of the lockdown right now to alexander phenomena in brussels.

belgium hospitals are on the brink of collapse. what's the situation? well actually, overall, the situation seems to be improving bole general, sort of say there are quite confident that the 2nd wave of coronavirus hospital admissions has peaked already, the number of new hospitalizations is going down, as well as the number of new infections per day. however, in this context, we have to say that we are also seeing less testing. and we also have to say that still there is a lot of pressure on intensive care units. and the number of people being treated there is, is going up. so a prime minister has already announced citizens, people here in belgium have to be preferred for long term measures. the government is sitting together with experts this friday again. but we don't expect that the partial lockdown will be lifted soon. or late on

a phenomena brussels finishing their thanks to all 3 of you. well, belgium has one of the highest kovac 19 death rates. a sharp rise in new cases has forced the governments to re-impose a partial lockdown as we were just hearing in his data. correspondent, teri schultz reports from brussels. the rules are being rigorously enforced. time's up for coronavirus rule breakers in belgium. the warnings didn't work to convince people to wear masks, limit gatherings, to 4 people and obey the evening curfew. so the next step is strict enforcement by police inspectors, like emily chua and castor. they've become the belgian authorities. last line of defense against the sky, high infection rate, their weapon, a 250 euro. fine, people must go in for their orders are to accept few excuses to get a 5 years through. is that where he is most real person?

there's a lot of money coming in this look. everybody knows. just say for everyone to show up for us to use able to bait or not kill their business. their business is to make sure that what the prime minister has called the last chance to get control of the virus isn't wasted. the fear of having it take its having a fine is going to stop some people from committing infractions. of course, they're going to be behaviors that we are forcing or indeed stopping to be. there's one area where officers are being more tolerant now than during the 1st wave of the pandemic. that's for people who can't stay home because they don't have one. during the last lockdown, many of them received fines. plain clothes officer chris founder, how to is in a special police unit designed to help get people off the streets. he and his colleagues asked the corona patrols to take it easy on the homeless this time

around. the ideal scenario that it would be that we have place and shelter for everybody, but we're not in that situation for the moment. we have to be a little bit flexible for those people. more working like sense and sensible eyes, them to, to wear the mask, to keep their distance. but they're part of the street. so they're in the streets as a last resort to those who must or want to stay outside. can now get a document to show the police and avoid a penalty founder how to agrees that for the rest of the population, the tough approach is unfortunately necessary when you have people who doesn't want to listen and always make the main same mistakes a misplaced the mistakes you made, you have to give them a fine, you know, they have to feel it somewhere. hundreds of those 250 euro infractions are still being issued every week according to the brussels police. on this night. however, by the 10 pm curfew downtown is deserted. the officers say they hope this means people finally comprehend just how bad the coon situation is. if everybody saw

what's happening, really, persons or in hospitals, maybe people to get more serious here in the district. although the government's strategy seems to be working. since they reinforced measures took effect, beldam is no longer in 1st place for the worst rate of new infections in europe. and it's turned out some other stories making news around the world. russia is sending 2000 pace capers to the disputed territory. if we want to karabakh to enforce a cease fire between us and maybe up at least a 1000 people have been killed since the longstanding conflict between the 2 former soviet republics flared up again in september. hong kong government has disqualified for pro-democracy will make his chief executive carry. lam announced the decision which came minutes after the chinese parliament after resolution allowing her to expel legislators without having to go through the courts. beijing

together have now been affected and terrorism from paris to brussels. berlin, vienna trashed london, madrid, barcelona copenhagen, stockholm. nice vienna, and so many others is a european reality to which we must respond. and that is why we need a common coordinated and rapid response. the video summit set out the need to forge collective antiterrorism strategies. as a matter of urgency. and german chancellor angela merkel said europe's troubled shang and zone of control. free travel also needs swift reforms. just a week ago, a gunman who tried to join the so-called islamic state shocked that 4 victims in the heart of the austrian capital vienna. 3 people were stabbed to death in a church in the southern french city of nice. last month and 2 weeks earlier,

a teacher was beheaded in a paris suburb. the attacks in both nice and vienna involved assailants who move freely between schengen countries. but prosecutors in germany are treating the recent stabbing of a man in the eastern city of dresden as an islamist murder. german chancellor angela merkel echoed other european leaders and stressing the importance of border controls. this thing needs a notch. it is that we know not only who wins has, but also who leaves the shang an area. and we must also have this information from those countries which we have visa, free travel with. that's why the european travel information system being launched in 2023 is very important. not merkel insists the security measures are not about a confrontation between islam and christianity, but about society having to confront terrorism and contempt for democracy.

a deal only for my us and local embassy employees are to receive compensation. that's only one percent of the people who were killed or injured. it says, douglas, we feel the american government assume that we africans are little beings than americans. but we feel we're just equal human beings like america. and we'd be treated just as much as the american citizens now, 22 years later, and still in pain and needs medication to be able to sleep. if she would receive compensation, she says she would be able to pay the looming school fees so that her sons can finally graduate. i feel frustrated, discriminated, hated, because i don't see the difference between an american election. esther's biggest hold now is that the new us president elect joe biden will reconsider their
