is that simple? ok, so that this all sounds like good news. one of the things that people are going to be concerned about is the speed at which these things are going to be a being developed. normally it takes 2 years for these things to be developed to hit the market with done this in less than a year. so does that mean that safety is being compromised all or, or what has happened to allow this to happen? so quickly, safety is not really think we're actually slowing it down in terms of these 3 trials. remember a couple months ago we were trying to speed up politically and i was not good. what's actually happening is 8. the money is now flowing at a much faster rate. we're in the middle of a global pandemic. really financial resources are readily available. and in terms of infection. vaccines rely on a natural infection in the community to observe. and then then you can conclude. and in certain ways, the infections are soaring across the world as you know. and that actually allows

you can actually see the effects much more quickly. but i do want to warn these are theory, preliminary results. there's 30000 people and you need to follow them for months and years. so these are just a early signals, but it's promising now how long the immunity last that we have to see and how many people will take it. that's the other concern, because you could have a 100 percent effective vaccine. if only half the people take it on half as effective group population. so if you have to follow the if it's necessary to follow the results for months and years, what does that say when manufacturers are hoping to get this out of the market and into people's arms or whatever in the next a month or so? yes, so i thought in terms of racing to get it out we, we know that in terms of the early thing, some of the months and years we're trying to answer is, does it have, for example,

immunity that lasts for months and years. that's the long term immunity question is a reduction. 2 years down the road. that's what takes much longer. and in terms of, you know, severe events and the fact that all all 11 severe events observed or were in the placebo group or none in the immunized group. that's actually a really good sign, so you know, we'll see more get more safety in the coming month or 2. and if that happens out well, which correlates pretty good. then we can start rolling out. and then for a long term immunity, we'll have to wait and see. well, good talking to this at the solex. very, very hopeful. thank you so much for joining us. there's an epidemiologist and health economist. thank you. it was, it looks as though germany is about to see a stricter coronavirus restrictions as infection. numbers remain stubbornly high at chancellor merkel is holding a virtual meetings with leaders of the country's 16 states to discuss that next steps. partial lockdown measures were introduced. 2 weeks ago. and forced the

closure of bars, restaurants, museums, and gyms. despite this numbers of new cases have not dropped significantly. according to germany's public health body, new infections rose by nearly 11000 on monday. so let's take a closer look at how those numbers have developed. 2 months ago, germany was still enjoying the success of its early containment efforts. daily new infections remain steady at around 1000 cases a day. but as germans let their guard down, you can see how that rosy picture changed by early november. then of course, a number of new infections have had shot up more than 10 times prompting the government and german state simple to implement. the partial lockdown of this lockdown light appears to have slowed the spread, but it doesn't look like this is enough. so the w.c. a chief political editor is mckayla could. let's ask her,

what's on the chancellor's mind? welcome, michela. why does chancellor merkel all want more restrictions if the number of new infections appears to be leveling off? because it isn't going down significantly enough, and it's not going down fast enough. one small success of the past 2 weeks that we learned from the staff paper that circulating is that many managed to successfully leave the exponential phase. so basically, the kind of pandemic explosion phase going into this 1st proper winter. we have to remind ourselves that when corona struck here in germany and europe, we were leaving the winter period where everybody was inside the summer, literally gave everybody some breathing space. and now everybody is enclosed areas, again, indoors, and that's where the infection rates are going up, went up and have slightly leveled off now. but we're expecting tighter restrictions

particular on how many people can meet to get to that significant formula. again, no more than 50 infections per 100000 people within the space of 7 days. currently, germany is at round about $140.00, although it is doing a lot better than most other european countries. but it wants to avoid stressing its health health system beyond the limit. ok, the german government tried to get its message across to a younger generation using a special secrets, a german weapon called humor. we'll take a look at this public service and as we call special heroes, then we'll come back to you. that's right. doesn't transfer, show stars cancel and often struck god, it's what's worse is a tribute to a machine born it's come transfer answer is motivated by to fire him and he can learn as all of us

sort of makes one of the shiksa terms good at all times for get close to success, jesus let slip that's making the rounds so fast and be a tough lesson to absolute gun. it's downfall of you. do you spend time to learn to feel awful and some are so ours are constrained by thomas call of a culture at the front entrance or that we've all got to do our bit about this business at this public. this p.r. offensive suggest the government is losing public support in this fight against the

pandemic. no, it isn't. don't public support is still upwards of 75 percent with actually a significant chunk wishing for tighter restrictions even so the government can still claim to have the backing of the by far the largest part of the german population. but what this clip shows is not just the secret that yes, there is a sense of humor in germany, also in the government, but also that this group of 22 year old. so young people having posses, have been identified in the past as the creators of the so-called hot spots and where a lot of the spread of the virus came from just like family gatherings as well. and what we're seeing right now is a system once again towards people's individual responsibility because the measures we expect to see through the course of today very much go into the personal sphere . and that's also been the secret of success in the past that germans individually

felt responsible for not letting this pandemic get out of control. to talk. do you think that we have a government do to boost the chief political editor? we'll take a look now at some of the other developments in this pandemic starting in the united states case numbers are now past 11000000 the highest in the world. the death toll is nearly 250000. sweden is limiting public gatherings to 8 people after a surgeon you case is sweden's, taking a different approach to most countries and avoided lockdown like instead of voluntary measures and sort of 1st day new zealanders would have to marry masks on public transport in or clint planes. nationwide, this comes after several small outbreaks in oakland, lebanon began lebanon, have begun a 2 week lockdown of the weekend to curb the spread of covered 19 health officials describe the country's situation is critical with hospital capacity of breaking point, but many dread the economic impact of these restrictions with the country already

facing its worst financial crisis in decades. lebanon enters another lockdown. the few people out on the streets of beirut are wondering how they are going to make ends meet. they're not going to work for 2 weeks. why sir? my salary and the next month is going to be like so. so i don't know the country is registering around 2000 new coronavirus cases every day. and it's intensive care units are at 95 percent capacity. that's prompted the government to urge people to put their health 1st and not the economy. you don't know, we have reached the red line. we've reached a stage of critical danger. and we dread reaching a stage where people are dying in the streets, you know, relief names. at the end,

the sheen founded authorities hope that this lockdown will give the country's health system a chance to recover but not everyone is convinced the restrictions will make a difference. many people coming to the pharmacy having or don't know when they are not to commit the as a lockdown, as they are going outside face masks. so we need to be more committed. others are respecting the lockdown rules, but with lebanon's hospital short of hundreds of doctors, the country likely has a rough road ahead before it can get a grip on the pandemic. on to some more of the stories making news around the world. now, the leader of if your peers to get a region has urged the u.n. and african union to condemn ethiopia for using high tech weaponry,

including drone us in its military offensive against the region 2 week conflict threatens to trigger a civil war that could destabilize the region holdovers, the electoral commission says the presidential elections be won by pro e.u. challenger a. my son to a shield replace the moscow batting company. igor dordogne republic, moldova gained independence in 1991 has closed. historic cultural, linguistic ties to neighboring remain with molecules to try to carry out a terror attack aboard a high speed train has gone on trial in paris because he was tackled by passengers after he emerged, heavily armed from the toilets of the amsterdam to paris, train or was 2015 to jordan islamic state that year now to armenia, where the government is under new pressure over a peace deal that requires it to hand over territory to azerbaijan. the agreement ended 6 weeks of fighting over the nagorno-karabakh region. armenia's foreign

minister announced his resignation. meanwhile, as a by john agreed to extend the deadline for army. it's a russian flag. no flying at the enchanter minion, ministry in a disputed cow of a hard day, st. russian peacekeeping forces are setting up here as part of a cease fire agreement brokered by moscow. guarding a christian ministry is one of their duties, along with supervising the exodus of armenian troops and civilians from the area. the armenian priests who live in the monastery howard are to remain christian. armenians feel they have no other choice but to leave the terms of the peace deal. hello azerbaijan, to take control of kandahar formally controlled by armenians. those ethnicities have lived here at different times. according to moscow,

more than 4000 people have died in the 6 weeks of fighting in and around. the armenians are still burrowing the dead girls all the dead guys. and now our sons, it doesn't matter who died, relatives or non-relative, were grieving for everyone. but both were the sort that will show this agreement with azerbaijan is not near children. it's about capitulation. that's all . so i was sure that the guts of the russian peacekeeping mission will last for 5 years was an option for renewal, as they by jan, would have liked their key ally, turkey to be directly involved to an anchor are pushed for darts. but moscow got its way the conflict may be ended for now,

but overcoming resentment in both semenya and i won't be so easy with another protest against this deal is taking place in the armenian capital. yet about today, there are more calls for the resignation of the prime minister nicole correspondent, and we show him is that welcome back, emily, what's going on? but we're here in the center of yerevan where several 100 protesters have gathered to call for the call, pushing on the prime minister here to resign. they have been chanting leave. they have been chanting, that is a traitor. after all, people here in armenia, many people see that peace deal that bashing on signs last week with us or by john and representatives of russia as well as the capitulation. and they say that himself is personally responsible for the huge loss of life that armenia saw in the

past few weeks of fighting in and around or in a car bomb. over 2300 soldiers were killed on the armenian side alone. and today we've seen some consequences from these ongoing protests that have been happening in year of on the foreign minister of armenia resigned. but pushing on today into 2 held a press conference and spoke in the parliament. and he doesn't seem to be resigning anytime soon. and one of the peace deal itself is actually holding. how has the fighting stopped this cease fire has been holding so far. there were previous cease fires that broke almost immediately and fighting, continued. but now russian peacekeepers are on the ground in the territory and are arriving has been a riving in the past few days. and armenia in the coming days and weeks will be

handing over territories that have so far been under armenian control. even they were, even though they are azerbaijan, according to international law. and we've seen and heard reports as well, of people kind of burning their houses in those territories because they don't want their ease arriving as areas to have anything at all. so the resentment continues, even if the fighting has ended and put this into a broader conflict into a broader context. for certainly, how will these developments influence the, the region? well, i think it's worth mentioning that both turkey and russia have kind of got their fingers in yet another regional pai here. another conflict. on the one hand, you have the russian peacekeepers now on the ground. russia, of course, has a security treaty with armenia and azerbaijan,

in the past few weeks of fighting has been supporting turkey rather, has been supporting azerbaijan. now, russia has emphasized, in the kremlin, has emphasized that they, there will only be russian peacekeepers. and that seems to be kind of a red line for the russian side that they don't want turkish boots on the ground as it were. but there may be some kind of an observation center, a joint observation center for this ongoing peace which could involve the turkish side as well. so we'll have to watch that space. i'm going to show what i mean. you talk to you. thank you for more than a 100 migrants have died in the central mediterranean in 4 separate incidents over the last week. the international organization for migration says nearly 700 died this year, attempting to cross from libya to europe. move harrowing scenes to see

taking the strategic, released by the italian coast guard, shows a dramatic rescue of over 30 people on saturday night. their banks capsized some 5 kilometers off the island of lampedusa. these migrants didn't make it not far. they also came within an inch of their lives, but they're the lucky ones. at least $74.00 of their fellow travellers drowned after their boat sank off the libyan coast on thursday. not long after a further 20 people perished in similar circumstances. but i think many migrants are so desperate that braving the open seas, even with babies in arms, is prefer to ensuring the misery at home. i am up to and maybe the woman 6 month

old child was later found to have drowned along with 5 fellow travellers. luckily, the majority of the over 100 people on that boat were rescued by spanish angio open arms. most were transferred to a quarantine vessel off sicily. rescue charity say there is no end in sight to the numbers of desperate people willing to risk their lives to make it to europe. the current deceptively calm ocean conditions are increasing the pool. as a result, charities are stepping up their efforts. german n.g.o.s see eye is adding a further vessel to its fleet. the c.i. 4 will base the number of charity rescue ships on standby in the central
