12:02 am
a big history. 60 years of the albatross pub in california once hosted intellectuals of the free speech movement in the sixty's. today is shutting down for good g to the coronavirus pandemic. where people, everybody hang out is, a community space. it's a familiar story, not just in the u.s., but all across the world. the lives of many have been ended by the pandemic. but on friday, some good news. german drug developer biotech and its american partner, pfizer announced that they will be asking the u.s. food and drug administration for emergency approval of a covert 19 vaccine. it comes after the companies posted promising results from advanced trial. it showed a 94 percent success rate in adults over $65.00 and the park

89 months. after the start of this project, we have a reading list to my new 5 children get approved 4 boxes of this. as you can see, definitely use something of a will redefine your interest. it will start the clock on a process that could see the vaccine approved for use in the u.s. by mid december. once approved, distribution will become the focus and there's a mixed response from americans as to whether or not they will get the shot. of course. yeah, probably soon as possible. and not really to say that i don't even take the, the flu shot myself just because i'm out means system that when really good. how a yes or no. and not personally i feel like i feel like it's everybody's own choice. you know? because not everybody agrees with vaccines,
12:04 am
but experts don't want people getting too excited. stressing that the manufacture and distribution of the vaccine is a complex task and will take some time. i mean, even if we look about, you know, 6070 percent population in the world to be immunized to see the real impact of the vaccine we are talking about $11000000000.00. and i don't think that one of the can be produced at this here for 40 ministration around the globe. but on tech and pfizer have also started complications in the u.k. and in europe for use of their vaccine. ok, let's take a look now at some of the other developments in the corona virus pandemic, the united states is averaging more than $1319.00 related deaths per day. this is the highest since may when new york was the epicenter of the pandemic. in iran, they're imposing tougher restrictions there from saturday as the country battles its 3rd wave of current virus infections. non-essential businesses will close in
12:05 am
the capital, tehran and 160 other high risk towns and cities. and a large scale study at oxford university shows that people infected with the virus is unlikely to catch it again for at least 6 months. well, it's been 75 years now since the nuremberg trials brought nazi leaders to justice in what's been called the birth of international law. 24 high ranking representatives of the nazi regime were indicted for war crimes in the southern german city of nuremberg. it was the 1st tribunals of its kind and the 1st time any of the country's leaders had stood before an international court. a year later guilty verdicts lead to prison sentences and 12 death penalties. and the trial paved the way for the creation of the international criminal court in the hague. would you're in commemorations today at nuremberg palace of justice, where those trials took place. 75 years ago german president found my emphasize
12:06 am
this significant fix. the nuremberg trials of the main war criminals were revolutionary, and they didn't just make legal history. they made world history. but most of the known for the nurnberg rally in the race laws held a mirror up to germans. then because nurnberg confronted them in plain view of the world with the fact that naziism itself, including its conduct in war, was criminal and 6 feet long. and for breaking it isn't on an unbacked if it weren't for nuremberg war lords from serbia, croatia, or rwanda, for instance, wouldn't have been punished for mass murder, torture, and rape. and genocide would not be prosecuted as a crime. if it weren't for nurnberg, there would be no principle of international law and international courts could not prosecute violations of international law. and for good detail. he spoke to 2 men,
12:07 am
one an it's survival, and the other, the son of a nazi deputy. they told us about the impact that these tribunals had on their lives in 1904 peter gard. osh was 14 years old when he, his mother and his sister, were deported to the auschwitz concentration camp. one year later, at the nuremberg trial, he recognised some of the men who sent them to the gas chamber. it was pure luck that he survived. i followed the trial and felt great satisfaction, that at least the main were brought to justice by the allies and that they finally received their just punishment. nicholas frank also experienced an unexpected end to his carefree childhood. his father, hans frank, was hitler's deputy in occupied poland. hans was one of the main war criminals
12:08 am
dubbed the butcher of poland. nicholas was only 6 then. he was teased at school at school, some kids made up rhymes minister, minister gas canister. because i was the son of a heist minister, but that wasn't so bad. other one said to me again, nicki nickie. that was my nickname. your daddy will be hanged soon. so i just answered. yes. up until the very end, the main war criminals denied the systematic extermination of jews. they tried to deny everything and said they knew nothing. but during the trial they were shown films of the concentration camps with the mountains of corpses. and afterwards, even during himself was dazed. none of the accused at the nurnberg trial to credit for their actions. they pushed the responsibility up the chain of command. they said they only have bad orders. they
12:09 am
blamed everything on hitler or himmler who were both dead by then. nicholas father was sentenced to death. his and 11 more death sentences were carried out on october 16th, 1946 at the movies. and they showed not how they were hung, but how they lay in their coffins with the white and black stripes noose around their necks. and i thought they all deserved to wear that next time. nicholas fong always carries a photo of his hank father with him. and whenever he feels just a touch of pity for his dad, he thinks of auschwitz. and then he affirms the verdict of the nuremberg trial was just let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world today. the united nations has warned that yemen is in imminent danger of facing the worst
12:10 am
famine. the world has seen fit decades and that millions of lives could be lost without immediate action. yemen has enjoyed a 5 year war between iran backed by rebels and the saudi backed government police in south africa have clashed with anti racism protesters in cape town. hundreds of members of the left wing economic freedom fighters group were demonstrating near a school said to have held an all white dance party in october. south africa's president has called for an investigation into the clashes, calling them deeply regrettable and ugandan opposition. presidential candidate bobby wian has been released on bio after being charged with holding rallies likely to spread the coronavirus. the rest of the pop star turned politician earlier this week triggered protests that led to at least 37 deaths. uganda is due to hold presidential and parliamentary elections in mid january. well as

12:17 am
help us get peace back. so we can go back home safely. hello, i'm christine one. it's good to have your company. the number off coronavirus cases in africa has surpassed $2000000.00, including $48000.00, deaths, africa's infections and deaths make up less than 4 percent off the global total. but the world health organization has warned the continent is heading toward a 2nd wave of infections. africa has not experienced covered 19 infections on the scale that experts had predicted. but the threat of a new wave has raised fears that the continent is not out of the woods. yet. 20 countries have had coronavirus spikes in the past month. and that's for
12:18 am
a range of reasons in most of the affected african countries, the rise in new cases is coming from workplaces and family gatherings. and of course, we know that there are several political elections coming up in a number of countries. pains going on and gatherings as far as is concerned, and some existing challenges have mounted. pregnant women in zimbabwe now have limited access to medical workers since may any facilities are closed. that's in a country with an already weak health care system. they used to be hospitals providing syrian sections for difficult, but with no one getting transport to get to the hospital was a problem. so what happened? number of women was struggling to give back. and by the time they're even hospitals, they actually afaik,
12:19 am
they day adapting to lock downs is not easy or affordable for many across africa. for example, not every student can do their online research from home. they were fired with enough. so every morning to go through their way fail, there is always a good class and they get access to a very have time to to put others, have lined news that the vaccine is near will be welcomed as much in africa as elsewhere. although there await logistical challenges relating to how it was rolled out. i am now joined by professor. yeah. he is with epicenter africa. that's the research arm off doctors without borders. he's a specialist in it between the ology and public health. welcome back. cities have
12:20 am
been his africa professor, so africa has now recorded 2000000 cases. but, but i want to point out that france and russia have just the same amount of these are individual countries. their population size is respectively right. 150000000 in russia, 67000000 in france, this dwarfs africa's 1200000000. so what is your explanation for the reason the continent seems to be doing better than moats parts of the world? thank you. find my community again. i think it's important to remind ourselves what do we mean by, do we beat easy it in terms of number of keys it into more number of death. so definitely do number of kids. we need to do take more and more of our now appropriation using the different just eating out that we have. but the number of kids we have a different creation. we've been mentioning that along and on. you have a population where to me of how it is around 20 years or less. what we see in cameroon, india see in many countries,
12:21 am
which is different from what you have seen. most part of the work of europe or in china. it was around 60 of each and we know about the people who are the most recent of having c.v.r. condition or even i think more pretties, which is not fine as much in her population. ok, that's interesting. you point that out because for example, in europe and in north america be the 2nd wave has been what would be the dangers of a 2nd wave in africa, then the danger, i think beyond are we in fact we also have to look at the economy. because if we have an important 2nd wave, you've seen pin you're, for example, next more first wave did you have an effect and concretely have to go through a lot of down. and we know the impact that's had been having relation of population instead of dying from there might be affected by lack of resources. and some of
12:22 am
those people are in, he being in their condition where he cannot survive. ok, perth, profess that there is that there is much excitement right now about the, the efficacy of these vaccines that are being developed. but tell us about the potential challenges that we might face in distributing and administering the vaccine in africa just when you experience would be a bowl of vaccine. for example. you know, during the 1st time we were using the fax seemed to be used under my it was 80 degrees and we were using it in treat countries and it was a very big challenge. know how to root out these vaccines. all african countries different, you need to choose leach vaccines to our environment. so we talk about the challenge, the courtship, we were out of go for a vaccine that can be transported. i don't know my temperature, but also released to look at if you just do 90 percent of if you can see for
12:23 am
a vaccine for a disease that affects people like us. when we look at how our guy is like one or 2 percent, that's not, that's not a lot. especially if we don't know this yet, i think. so i think africare would be mo, introducing great vaccine should walk in should be used in our population. ok, professor yeppoon, thank you for that insight. looking if i still will vote in presidential and legislative elections on sunday. this is an, it is still a to extremist violence that's killed, more than 2000 people this year and displaced someone 1000000 people from their homes, the incumbent russia border is seeking a 2nd term and is why the expected to win or is main challenges is if in doubt break who has held several ministerial posts and was the runner up in the 2015
12:24 am
elections and boyle, who has been endorsed by former long serving president. one boy is seen as a boris main content. but the actions major timoci is already being questioned, as the violence has cut off large parts of the country. even people unable to cost ballots another day. another early start for bernadette trying to provide for 4 children means spending most of her time here. but there's not much to sell the main fraiche stop working, so she can sell fish or rice that just doesn't work. there is no money in this country, and i cannot afford the repairs that either way, there is no guarantee shall have customers with an absolutely militant attacks. people are keeping together what they have their jihad,
12:25 am
this is the poverty. this must stop. i want to take care of my children better. death is one of so many in the country trying to survive with very little hundreds of thousands don't even have a home displaced in their own country. they are clustered on the outskirts of the city. more than 1000000, people have fled their homes for this year, due to spiraling violence. that's twice as many as it was at the start of 2020. and these people here have lived so or no chance of casting their vote in the upcoming elections. but at the same time, they are the ones who most wants to build and peace in this country. the government of incumbent president kabul, he says that nearly half of the country's 13 regions have little to no access to voting. because it's unsafe. does not want to delay the elections,
12:26 am
but how can the winner be a true reflection of the people's choice when hundreds of thousands of potential voters do not have the chance to participate? she says, the election itself is legitimate. the question is whether the outcome will be election will take place on sunday, november 22nd. the crisis could start on november 23rd. so if there is voter fraud, if the results are not compliant with what the people put in the ballot box. as we could have a crisis now, you don't need 2 or 4 months. all will depend on how the election will be carried out. we stop by the restaurant that was attacked by islamists in 2016, killing 30 people, both locals and foreigners. it serves as a daily reminder to everyone of the point when broke enough tipped into chaos, especially in the north. the restaurant owner decided to stay. he says,
12:27 am
so that the jihadists cannot win. he also decided to stop talking on camera. too much to bear for his family since that fateful day. but back now that would not hesitate to leave. she's already had to do that in the past 2016, she left without her family to neighboring tokyo with everything. he did wrong. things were not working out here, so i thought i would go there and see, but after a month, it did not regard either. i do all of this for my children. her husband does not earn much either from his job as an assistant in a shop. it's tough to hit over the whole. i adore my children. they are a gift of god, but i'm too young to handle the 4 children. i want to see them happy. this is hard,
12:28 am
hard for me. better know that, like many others will try to leave. again, for a whole long this time it's unclear what is certain. hardly anyone here expects life to get better after the election. and that is it for now, be sure to check out the stories on forward slash africa or also on facebook and on twitter. today will leave you with pictures off the campaign. invoking a fast sotto, next time, a fight hard

12:31 am
. i'm stephen beardsley. and it's good to have you with us drugmaker pfizer and its german partner beyond tech. have asked us health regulators for emergency authorization of their coping 1000 vaccine, putting them on track for distribution beginning in december. the companies already have purchased deals with major governments and expect to supply up to 1300000000 doses. by the end of 2021, pfizer has spent about $2000000000.00 on research and development and has a cost sharing and marketing agreement with germany based biotech, which developed the unique messenger r.n.a. technology for the vaccine. now for more nurses go to a financial correspondent in new york, yen scored a good to see you the most coveted product in the world right now, potentially. what does this mean for these drug makers right now? well, it's definitely good news for pfizer. if everything works so well clearly also for
12:32 am
value on tech, but pfizer has some other big pharmaceutical companies and they have the problem that some of their patients actually expires. so getting this busy and i would would be definitely some welcome news. there are some estimates from morgan stanley that this was seen alone next year. could bring about $13000000000.00 if i understand correctly, that it would be evenly split between beyond tech and pfizer. so pfizer would get about 6 and a half 1000000000 dollars next year. if all works well and if morgan stanley is right, it was the program also said it was that of a c. and would actually be the best selling product from pfizer. so it's no surprise that the stock has been on the rise in the past couple of days with more information we've gotten from the promising the end is not as important for people in populations that vaccine come out, but also for businesses and specific industries. what does this mean for industries around the world? yeah,
12:33 am
well that's the big hope that everybody is having. i'm standing here right in front of the new york stock exchange, and there you might see the line, the short line. it's actually going around the block. so you're concierge of one of those walk in clinics. a lot of people getting tested before thanksgiving because they want to go home to see their families. so the health crisis definitely is a real we heard here from new york that maybe by the end of the month, bars and fitness studios might have to close down that we heard from j.p. morgan here on friday that they are actually lowering the growth expectations for the 1st quarter because of the pandemic, because the virus seems to be out of control all over the country and we see the measure spy of the states by the communities to at least partially lock down the, economy. so more a j.p., morgan is the 1st of the big banks to actually estimate that the u.s. economy might contract in the 1st quarter. they estimate that there will be that
12:34 am
the u.s. economy could shrink by about one percent. so far. most of the other banks still see some growth in the 1st quarter, but that definitely sees shows. i mean that's the problem that we have right now. and it also translate was share prices at the stock market by the way. so you have the whole point of a scene on one side, but then on the other side there we ality that the pandemic seems to be pretty much out of control in the united states. and no one's out of the woods yet in sort of their forests in new york. thank you very much. all right, now we go to some of the other global business stories making news. general motors will boost investment in electric cars as demand for less polluting vehicles gain speed. the maker of the chevrolet volt plans to spend $27000000000.00 on expanding its electric vehicle fleet over the next 5 years from $20000000000.00. g.m. wants 40 percent of its cars to be battery powered by 2025. airlines will need as

russian gas and is concerned. it allows supplies to bypass countries like ukraine. the us is indeed concerned with europe's energy security because it's fundamental to the national security of our closest ally. this speaks directly to those concerns with or trying to censor if it was completed, it would hurt both the economic and strategic stability of ukraine. it flies in the face of the european energy union's own concept on diversification away from russian energy resources. there's been criticism of the pipeline within germany and other european countries, but the e.u. also opposes the u.s. interfering in its energy policy. many here suspect that economic concerns are behind the u.s. stance. after all, the americans have their own natural gas to sell. on saturday, the european space agency will launch its sentinel 6 satellite from vandenberg air force base in california. that's the latest satellite in use earth observation

god, it doesn't matter if you're in germany or cambodia or one down there being a child in conflict is always the sign. the survivors represent the key conflicts of the past century around the world. the project started with a mom, a syrian refugees living in lebanon. a model is somalia is very important for us because she was the 1st one we photographed of another place. it was exciting to see her transformation this me if she became more and more alive, the more photos i took of her bending. the mold, the survivor was a child of world war one. was there? surely it was wonderful to work with heavy caliber, 106 year old ashton. he just stood there and he's changed looking like a young man. when you come on, i was giving you the idea. that reality is everywhere. at some point has 9 war before i wanted to bring back that reality bring. the book shows the scars left
12:47 am
i was a decades past. from cambodia. story is often forgotten. i guess the vision to convince you to knows how to tell this story. the 53 year old escaped the cambodian genocide and is now a human rights lawyer. i've put it in this. what links the protagonist is that they all had a connection to save the children. and so we can show the world the biggest story of war and children in rooms like it was interesting taking photos of the different generations of not i need to tell their stories, but also people who, if they survive to believe in a few 100 years, the 10 people plus a baby born this year out of one. baby regina i wrote in chicago, born in a refugee camp in bangladesh, is the 11th child in the book, and a symbol of hope for a future without children involved. and
12:48 am
joining me is my colleague school rock from scott, you actually had personal involvement in this book project? yes, i was brought a much later at the very good end of it. i did some translation english translation of the book. and yesterday there was the book launch here in berlin. and i moderated sort of the press conference, which was quite amazing because we were able to have many of the survivors connected via soon from around the world. so jose from colombia was, was on the line. and also we saw on the piece of a tree the leaf from, from cambodia who survived the camaro and is now a human rights lawyer in cambodia was pretty sick. and the images a striking but walked sense this project apart from resigning. i think it's the idea behind it, which is that they want to show the survivors of conflict and survivors of war differently. i mean, if you look at how most, well, most n.g.o.s, most people,
12:49 am
the media, when we talk about children in war zones, we show suffering victims. so we show the devastation and then the horrors of war. and critics would say that if you only show those images of children like that in those horrible situations that you sort of to humanize them, that they're only defined by the suffering that they've, they've gone through. and the idea of this book was to show them in a different way. so if you take the images on the cover of the book amal, she's a refugee from syria. she lives in a refugee camp in lebanon. but look at this image. i mean, she should always be a fashion model. she looks like a beautiful confident, strong young girl, and this is how she wanted to be depicted. so the idea behind this book is to give the power back to the survivors of how they want to be depicted. and so they don't to be only defined by their suffering, but also by their hopes and dreams of a basically like like all of us. but why show victims or survivors i should say
12:50 am
from across a century of conflict, why not concentrate on children today who suffer from war? yet again, the idea behind it is to have a connection. so, i mean, there's no place on the earth that hasn't seen war at some time in its history. and basically the experience of war as a child is, is universal. it's the same everywhere. so whether it's a mile to child, went through war in syria today or the oldest survivor in the book, which is eric carle who's now a 107 years old german man. he survived the 1st world war as a child, then the nazi era, the 2nd world war. and he, i think really says it best in the book where he says that one of the reasons he's so supportive of syrian refugees in germany now is because he remembers being that starved child of war when he was a child, someone helped him. so he wants to, he wants to help the people that i can see you. so you're very emotional about it. it's a very emotional summer is a phenomenal book. stay with us, scott, because we want to talk about another book. it's
12:51 am
a book of prize time. and the winner this time it's going to a 1st time author, my very astute coach, judges, and i have chosen that standing when and that is so keeping it 20 book of price story. i'm absolutely stunned. i didn't expect a whole i'd like to 1st of all just thank my mother. i think i've been clear that my mother is in every page of this book and without her, i wouldn't be here and my work would be here. yes. and so thank you. now doctors are getting very excited, of course, very happy. you're with scott just by chance, this is purely by don't start from the sheer scope is in the middle of reaching this book. so tell us more about yeah, i bought it when it was shortlisted a number of weeks ago,
12:52 am
but i didn't get around to read it until starting into it just last week. so i'm right in the beginning of it now. but a really amazing, amazing book. i mean, it's basically about childhood growing up in poverty, in glasgow, in the early eighty's. so sort of the, the factual years. and it's about young boy who is coming of age in glasgow wall. his mother is basically coming apart, suffering severe alcoholism. and douglas too has set himself. this is very autobiographical. it really is his childhood story. his mother died of alcoholism when he was 16. and what i find interesting though, about the book is that it's a 1st time novel, but i mean it's phenomenal. he east such a complete author, his voice is so so clear, and so present. i mean, it's both very gritty and harsh as you'd expect. very raw in the language, but also times just incredibly beautiful, very, very poetic. i was really struck by it. i mean, it tells quite emotionally powerful moments,
12:53 am
but it doesn't help being sort of market or sentimental, i think is really phenomenal book. i'm really excited to see what will come up with next. ok, just briefly, the lot of booker prize winners books 1st of all, it makes them really internationally famous. and secondly, sounds a lot of books. and thirdly, sometimes they go to the movies. will this wrong transfer to the silver screen? yeah, it might, might. well do. i mean you had great, you know, list was originally a booker prize winner and various others, the english patient, booker prize winner, being great films. this film would be more difficult. it's very broad, very, very powerful. but i think i'll bake it to make the mazing film if someone could pull off that combination of grit and polish poetry that he does in the book skull . i was always thank you very much. this week marks the 75th anniversary of the beginning of the nuremberg trials when the nazi leadership were tried for war crimes. at the end of world war 2, the city of nuremberg home to some of the largest buildings built by the nazis.
12:54 am
well, for have of be associated with darkness pages of german history. so what is happening to these buildings a modern day, nuremberg, which holds such painful memories. 'd 'd the sweepings upland grandstand in nuremberg. it was here in these purpose built grounds that hundreds of thousands of people gathered for nazi rallies led by adolphine. in the 1930 s. each year, some 300000 visitors come to see what remains of the nazi era constructions of these buildings, which is still here today in a way a document of the national socialist easier. but a leaked this means that as architectural relics, they represent a visual ideal that the nazi regime, a sad state of the ruins, testified to a dark chapter of german history. efforts have been made to demystify them.
12:55 am
discipline field has even been opened up to leisure time activities. 'd the delicate balance between remembering the past and opening the space up for a new story. i don't know how much the stadium, the tribune, and the sports facilities around us need, renovating the pitch. works very well as a sports facility without the grandstand. and i'm also concerned that if it's not renovated now, it will become a kind of memorial place of pilgrimage, phonier nazis. and if it's renovated, then perhaps it can be better used to civilian sports purposes. that's why my opinions divided on the part of the nazi party rallies. complex is the unfinished congress hall. the structure is reminiscent of rome's colosseum. and what are posted 50000 people? it's one of the largest preserve national socialist buildings today. it houses the
12:56 am
documentation center which office visit is insight into the history of the complex . and it's important for us to make the stones tall supporting. and this means explaining the history behind these buildings. so self being transparent and always insisting on never again. and as our lesson from this history lesson and on guiding people through the story with all the information we have from not so many 75 years after the end of the war. nazi party rally grounds stand as a somber reminder of germany's past. its stones will continue to serve as a warning to generations. finally, exhibition opening despite corunna. other board members are guggenheim in bilbao, where 60 works by the russian abstract painter vastly convinced the are on display . the actual mission is extended until next may, because of a pandemic, as right now, only build ballons can visit museums,
