all time. we introduce you to 16 year old yusuf bubble coco and talk about his future in germany's top football league. i'm told me all of it. well, thank you for joining us. u.s. drug giant pfizer and its german partner biotech have applied for emergency authorization for their corona virus vaccine in the united states. now the vaccine, has performed well in initial safety trials. and based on that, the u.s., food and drug administration could grant permission before testing is complete. and if it does, the 1st dozers could be administered next month for many people. the severe health and economic impact of the pandemic means a vaccine can't come soon enough. a small pub with a big history. 30 years of the albatross pub in
9:02 am
california, once hosted intellectuals of the free speech movement in the sixty's. today, it's shutting down for good due to the coronavirus pandemic. where people, everybody hang out. public spaces 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
9:03 am
89 months. after the start of this project, we have a readiness to bite you for sure and get approved. 4 boxes will be safe because it definitely is something that will redefine your interest. it will start the clock on a process that could save 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. only sort of possible. and not really to say that i'm going to get a flu shot myself just because i'm out means system that been really good. how a yes or no, i'm not personally feel like so i guess everybody's own choice, you know, because not everybody agrees with vaccines, but experts don't want people getting too excited. stressing that the manufacture
9:04 am
and distribution of the vaccine is a complex task and will take some time. i mean, even if we look about the, you know, 6070 percent population in the words of human eyes 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 ministers from around the globe by on tech. and pfizer have also started applications in the u.k. and in europe for use of their vaccine. will we all soon be immunized? let's ask john campbell, he's a health analyst based in college in the u.k. . john, thank you for joining us. now. let's begin by just looking at this application itself. what does it mean in terms of its emergency use? will it somehow be fast tracked? the application? yes, basically, that is the case. we know that the pfizer vaccine, for example,
9:05 am
is efficacious the way it works and it's not 95 percent effective. it's remarkably effective vaccine. and we've also had the 2 month safety data or not. so 2 months, this pattern of people, since the last dose of the backseat was given. so the european, meghan nimetz is agencies now having what we call a rolling review of this, that they're just considering the data every day as it comes in. and so far it's promising. and i'm expecting the u.k. will follow it is to authorize it within the next week or so. the european agency, i really don't think will be far behind in the food and drug administration, the united states. and that basically means it's legal for practitioners to inject into people's arms. this is the legal authorization we need. so i fully expect that people will be getting vaccinated and developing immunity to this in december. so i think we are, the light is well and truly the end of the tunnel. now. now the european union has got 200000000 doses of this pfizer vaccine on the way with an option on another 100000000. the problem is it doesn't require a big, complicated coach,
9:06 am
a nice to be transported at minus 70 degrees centigrade. but the airlines are gearing up to this. now it's being manufactured locally. it's actually in germany, belgium, the united states, and it will cost about $20.00 euros a dose we believe. so it's not the cheapest taxi, but this is, this is the taxi. the others are going to follow the lead to be far behind, right. or just going to get to that in a 2nd, but we've had people in that report, we were just listening to saying they want to get vaccinated. how much of a problem a libyan if there's widespread rijeka yeah. there's been a study in about 16 countries published in the journal nature on this. and the highest acceptance rate for the vaccine are with china. and the lowest accepted rates for the vaccine are in russia. and europe is kind of somewhere in between. so in most european countries, at the moment, it's hovering about a 7172 percent of people say they take the vaccine if it was offered immediately,
9:07 am
but there's more to it than people's personal preference. now this would be mandated in europe, but it could be a requirement for employment. so for example, airline workers might be told, well, you need a certificate. and since it's to begin fascination or you can't fly back to work, it could be told you need to sit to figure about this notional. you can't commit it mix with the colleagues in the factory, and it could be a condition of travel as well. so a strategy, for example, expect to stick in late that fascination is necessary to travel to restrain the united states, even within europe. this could become possible. so even a low people cannot count of it may become necessary for people to take part in day to day economic life. that remains to be a lot remains to be seen. really. ok, and you've mentioned they're going to be multiple vaccines available. how can one person decide to use them all just to be on the same side, and how do you decide which one of them to take? well, basically the vaccines we get to begin with of the worms is of a little so. so for december it will be the pfizer vaccine, conceivably,
9:08 am
the middle of accident, the end of december, certainly by january out expect to have to be to be administered. so it's availability in particular areas. but over time, what we do is we develop a profile of what vaccine is best for what people, what age group is a particular vaccine, better for people with heart disease is a particular vaccine, better for older people or for younger people, that data will come to light in time, but the big hope in this time is the oxford asters anika vaccine. the european union's got 400000000 doses of this organizing is being made in 20 places all around the world, including australia and south america. and the plans to make with these 20 partners over 2000000000 doses. and the big thing about the oxford astra zeneca one. is that not trying to make a profit out of it? the pfizer in the mid one off will pop it back? seems the oxford astra zeneca vaccine is going to be for your dose. so that means you can immunize someone. and as long as this vaccine turns out to be education say, which is looking good so far for about 8 euros per person,
9:09 am
that's going to be the real game changer for the world. great insight bad john campbell, health analyst and collin, the u.k. . thank you. thank you, don. let's now continue in that regard. looking at some other developments in the coronavirus pandemic. donald trump jr. the eldest son of the u.s. president has tested positive for corona virus. he is the latest from family member to contract, covert 19, the president and the 1st lady recovered from their infections. in october, a large scale study at the oxford university shows that people infected with the virus are unlikely to catch it again for at least 6 months. the study involved more than $12000.00 health workers in the u.k. . officials in china say they are carrying out mass testing on 3000000 people in the northern city of tianjin. this comes after 5 domestically transmitted cases were reported to the conflict in ethiopia. now where the federal government says it
9:10 am
will soon have the northern states under control. at its said, it captured 2 more cities in the region on friday and was closing in on the capital michela. it comes at a cost of hundreds of lives with thousands of civilians fleeing the fighting aid agencies are alarmed and calling for a temporary ceasefire to deliver real live relief. these people fled the fighting in northern ethiopia by crossing the border into sudan. most escaped with just what they could carry there that we managed to escape the bombs. but some people were hit. we were covered in dust. we made it out. we had no food. we were hungry. people welcomed us here. we had no clothes, and i know that in the people who saw us gave us this sudden influx of
9:11 am
ethiopian refugees is beginning to overwhelm, aid groups. the united nations refugee agency says around 32000, people have crossed into sudan and the last 2 weeks. it's now preparing to take in as many as 200000 people over the next 6 months over serious is there, you know, that's critically resource needed. oh oh. you know, so that already facing their math, the economic crisis. challenges not only if you're but also on friday, u.n. secretary general antonio good echoed that statement. he said the situation was very concerning and called for a cease fire. we have been asking for the full respect of international method in law and also for the opening of humanitarian corridors and the tools that might be necessary for humanitarian aid to be delivered in the areas of conflict. but the
9:12 am
carnage in the tikrit region continues on friday that he cried. people's liberation front accused the government of shelling a university in the region, injuring several students. there was no immediate response from the government openly admits that drones are being deployed in the conflict. but it says, all of its airstrikes are aimed at military targets. it's accuses the rebels of firing rockets into a neighboring ethiopian state on friday. so there's a fight to me and so far the government has rejected any calls for external mediation, saying the conflict is an internal one about law and order. but that internal conflict could now be running the risk of destabilizing the entire region. to bruce just turned 16 on friday and he soon could have something else to celebrate because he's on the brink of becoming the youngest
9:13 am
ever player. and here's a closer look at germany's next one to canned. your super mukoko is already used to breaking records. he scored 46 goals in one season, playing for dortmund's under seventeen's team when he was just 14 years old. born in cameroon, macaco is not your average academy product. yesterday, i was a street footballer in cameroon. there wasn't any local team you just played with friends. no noise on it. for in 2014 he moved to germany to live with his father and 2 years later joined a club with a tradition of playing young talents. the current record for youngest boy in this league a player was set by another dormant academy product nori shine. who was then one month shy of his 17th birthday. this january coach called makoto up to the senior team, but league regulations meant he could not play until he turned 16. he's also caught
9:14 am
the eye of germany. coach, you'll be live and is already playing for the country's under twenty's national team. you know, to get to the ocean and i've seen a few videos of him playing so it's almost unbelievable how someone his age can score so many goals against players to or 3 years older than him. but he does have these qualities that i very rarely come across before before you leap to a once in a generation talent who may still be on ball collecting duty after his professional debut. but the future certainly looks promising in tennis. novak djokovic has reached the last 4 of the a.t.p. finals as he tries to equal roger federer as record 6 wins at the season and then tournament. djokovic faced a tough opponent in germany's alexander,
9:15 am
very of. but the serbian prevailed in 2 sets after taking the 1st set. $63.00. djokovic, one a tie, break in the 2nd to clinch the match faces u.s. open champion dominant team in saturday's semifinal. that's it for now, but you can keep up to date on our website. i'm talking a lot of interest i miss home many porcelains old loves us right now in the morning. climate change, a different office story basis. my plan for when film goes one week how much was going to really just what we still have time to what i'm doing.
