measures are being taken. what does the latest research say? information and context. the coronavirus of data, the coded special monday to friday on t w. the world is starting the 3rd week in a row with news of yet another promising coronavirus vaccine. today, astra zeneca became the latest pharmaceutical to announce that its vaccine is effective at preventing covidien 19. astra zeneca as vaccine has important advantages with a price tag of just a few dollars. it is now the front runner in the race to in the pandemic. by protecting everyone, everywhere i'm bring gulf in berlin. this is the day we

plan to begin supplying by the end of the year and with hundreds of millions of doses of vaccine supply in 2020. what we wanted is actually 12, not just for high income countries, the crisis will be very important for their country. i'm sick of the cold. let me repeat the ploy to throw people off to do something to help. hopefully, both the congo before we can actually get all the consent to be invoking. thank you . thank you for what you also coming up there are reports of an historic secret meeting in saudi arabia, the 1st face to face between the crown prince and the israeli prime minister, the saudis denying that the meeting ever happened. benjamin that yahoo is denying

nothing. i have never commented on these things over the years and i do not intend to start now with you, our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of our viewers around the world. welcome. we begin the day once twice, 3 times with vaccine hopes. this is the 3rd monday in a row that the world has been given. a reason to think that the end of the coronavirus pandemic may be near 2 weeks ago. it was fines are in by on tech one week ago it was mcgurn. today, it was astra zeneca that announced promising data about a vaccine that prevents coated 19. just say that hopes are high, would be an understatement. according to trial results, all 3 vaccines are exceeding expectations. their effectiveness is 90 percent or better. and astra zeneca is the 1st promising vaccine that due to its low cost,

could be delivered globally. a pandemic prevention for every man and woman, regardless of geography or income. these tiles hold a promising formula for ending the covert. 19 pandemic globally. a cheap, effective, easy to distribute that scene. we have to get a lot of people. that's why did we not thinking about the nation's working times of one person? it's time we have to think about vaccinating communities, populations, reducing transmission within those populations, so that we really get on top of this pandemic and not what it now looks like. guns have been a teach. you can chip the chair in a really big way. the vaccine was developed at the u.k.'s university of oxford using the a don't know virus platform. researchers took a common cold virus that infects chimpanzees, genetically engineering it to trick the human body into thinking it has been infected with the virus that causes that 19. i'm producing an immune response,

over $24000.00 volunteers took part in the clinical trials in the u.k., brazil, and south africa. although the late stage trials showed he had done a viral vaccine is less effective in preventing infection than the m.r. in a vaccines developed by maternal and pfizer biotech. it does that indicates it's better at preventing hospitalizations and severe cases of kovac 19. people are not getting sick with the spike scene, which means that ultimately, even if you were to get ill, you have symptoms. and so i think that's incredibly important because it'll keep ospital bence free, and people won't be dying from this virus. and that's not the only advantage. unlike the m r n, a vaccines, it can be kept at normal french temperatures, making it easier to distribute, especially in developing countries. it can also be manufactured at scale, meaning it can be produced in much greater quantities and that much lower cost than

its rivals. but i think this will be a truly global for in terms of its deploy and its accessibility. it's going to be probably more affordable and most of those for the lincoln countries, astra zeneca has pledged it won't make a profit from the facts seen during the pandemic. if it gets regulatory approval, the firm says it's ready to produce 3000000000 doses next year. and 49 of like to welcome back to the day dr. john campbell. he is an independent health analyst in the u.k. . yes. become a sought after authority on social media and all questions about this pandemic. thank you carol. good to see you again, and it's good that we're meeting under such encouraging circumstances before we discuss astra zeneca. let's consider what researchers have achieved in less than a year. i mean, we're talking about 3, promising vaccines, aren't we?

it really is quite incredible. i mean, when you think about the pfizer middle and max, that there are quite a lot of money going into them, especially the middle. but the oxford after zeneca vaccine has been done on a relatively small budget, and it is important to realize breton and this is going through all the stages. the normal vaccine or normal medication will go through and it's just been compressed into a small spirited period of time. so even though this is been very quick, it hasn't been skipping stages. all the stages have been done correctly. it's just a very impressive piece of science followed by a very impressive piece of research logistics. and we hope followed up by a very impressive piece of allowing this vaccine to be, to be used to the authorizations and hopefully followed by a very efficient rollout as well. and plans are in place for all of those things. so i'm actually really, i thought actually quite relieved this morning when i heard this news. very good news all around. it is good news. talk to me about what distinguishes the astra zeneca vaccine from the vaccines, from the dern and pfizer violent well,

the pfizer, the pfizer biotech and the video about state national institute of health. maxie are both based on its messenger r.n.a. way of doing things completely new way of making vaccines. both seem to work that the oxford astra zeneca is based on as you correctly said, it's a, it's a cold virus that causes colds and you know it. in chimpanzees, it isn't a dino virus genetically modified. so that weighs injected into the body. it will express the same proteins you find on the surface of the stars coronavirus to vaccine for it will make the antibodies and stimulate the cells. the big difference, as you've already alluded to, is the pfizer vaccine must be transported at minus 70 degrees centigrade. now this can be done in advanced countries, but it's difficult, but it can be done. and even in the doing a back seat needs to be transported freezing temperatures. where is the oxford astra zeneca fact it is just that normal fridge. temperature is the way we keep most of our vaccines. so if you're in a remote care area, because for example,

you could just get your cool box out, put in some ice box put in your vaccine and go off and do a day's vaccination with a very, very low tech approach. this is something full, health care professionals are already know how to administer, so is really ready to just hit the road. it says a nice low tech, easy to administer vaccine, which does this vaccine does it need any fine tuning it? and i'm thinking about the scene here because i understand that if you want to get 90 percent efficacy, you have to take the half those 1st right. isn't it interesting? yeah. so if you give the full dose the full dose is $50000000000.00 viral particles, but they found that if you gave half dose 1st of all $25000000000.00 viral particles, if you gave that 1st a half dose followed by a full dose a month later, the efficacy, there was 90 percent, 90 percent of people difference in infection rates compared to the experimental group and the control group. if we gave the full dose twice,

then the efficacy rate was only 62 percent. combining those 2, it worked out at 70 percent efficacy. so i strongly suspect that they'll be doing further research into the half dose, followed by the full dose to get the 90 percent. because that what we don't know who was to be fascinating to find out what happens if we give to half dose is. does that mean? yes, because it goes over 90 percent, you simply don't know that because the work hasn't been done. but the other thing about this, it would give half the viral dose for the 1st half the dose of viruses up to the dose of the vaccine for the 1st dose. that means we can have 25 percent more people vaccinated for the same volume of vaccine. so it's actually really quite encouraging results. however, i don't pretend to be able to explain it in terms of immunology, but it's particularly a good thing. it's really a case of less is more in case the vaccine dose. what we're who stands to benefit the most from this vaccine. i mean, at the beginning of the program, i said this is maybe the 1st global vaccine that we have against this pandemic. so

please, you brought this up, bring that pfizer in of the doing a vaccine or both to play. and you can say this, it's wrong to be thought profit vaccines. these are commercial companies. they intend to make some money out of this. but the oxford astra, zeneca vaccinate, have declared that they will do this for a non profit basis. as long as the pandemic lasts. so they are going to be putting this magazine out at really low cost. now that buys a back seat, looks like it's going to be around about $20.00 euros, that dopes then they did have acces more like $35.00. you are there steps? where is the austin astra? zeneca proxy. it appears it's going to be slightly 3 euros. so it's like a 10th of the price down and on coffee basis. and as well as that box, that astra zeneca has teamed up with $20.00 partners around the world. so this virus is going to be made in india and shoojit mounds, for example, is going to be made in the strategy it's going to be made is south america. we

believe is going to be manufactured in sweden, in quite a few european countries because they sort of franchise down to the manufacturer of this. this is really a need, cherry and virus. so it can be made in different places for local distribution at low cost. it really is quite, quite an impressive humanitarian and i think that there's any, like we said the beginning of the program. excellent news is a great way to start where we, dr. john campbell is always at the camel's good talking with you. we appreciate your insights. thank you for your job or like it was illustrate how quickly vaccine development is improving the overall narrative. germany is now expecting the 1st vaccinations to be administered nationwide by mid december. at the same time, the nationwide partial lockdown. it's expected to stay in effect into the new year a glimmer of hope in germany defrost coronavirus, vaccinations could take place within weeks. but i want to quickly

begin to offer vaccinations as soon as a vaccine is available. unless there's a reason to believe that we can start at the latest at the beginning of next year. maybe already at the end of this year. and vaccinations will be rolled back into stages starting lisbon marble people. the need is urgent. the latest partial lockdown has failed to cut infections. by the way, tathata belies the daily rate. it means that we have not yet managed to bring the numbers 5 to a low level. we have basically only managed to get past a fresh step so far. studies to stop the exponential increase of infections and we are no stable, but our numbers softies very, very high fight fight. patience is wearing thin, leading to entail a down protests and fears the far right is instrumental izing tensions. but many of

germany's 16 federal states doubling down saying the partial lockdown must be extended and intensified with tighter caps on gatherings. with christmas, just weeks away, the pressure chancellor angle america needs state leaders on wednesday. then if this isn't time, it has been almost 3 weeks since voters in the u.s. went to the polls to select a president. it has been 2 weeks since the ballot count showed joe biden winning the popular vote and the electoral college. and yet president remains in denial, refusing to admit that he lost refusing to allow the transition of power to begin pressure on the president to accept reality is building today more than 100 current and former national security officials signed an open letter calling on republicans to stop enabling trump's intransigents saying that his baseless legal challenges to

the election are now in danger of national security. this is what they writes. we are former senior national security officials who served in republican, administrations under presidents reagan, george h.w. bush, george w., bush, and or donald trump, or as republican members of congress. we believe that president trump's refusal to concede the election and allow for an orderly transition constitutes a serious threat to america's democratic process. and to our national security. we therefore call on republican leaders, especially those in congress to publicly demand that president trump seize his anti-democratic assault on the integrity of the presidential election. our, let's take this story now to washington d.c. . our correspondent stefan simons, joins me now from our bureau. good evening to you, stefan high level pressure from outside for the president to give up his challenges

. and we've got high level implosions taking place within the president's own legal team. talk to me about how bad the infighting is. right. president trump going to trace in under huge pressure to actually allow a transition. because again, as you pointed out in this, quote, national security is at stake here in the eyes of many, many, many. and then you have on the other side, as you called it, rightfully so. the implosion of the legal efforts and the legal team, basically trump, and this is the elite strike force team. who is the elite strike force team that is rudy giuliani, jenna alice, and sidney paul and apparently said need, powell is not part of the team anymore. the legal team distancing itself from sydney powell, reportedly because for conspiracy theories went too far even for the likes of rudy

giuliani. and this is what was said at a press conference just last week. take a listen, dominion voting systems. the smartmatic technology software and the software that goes and other computerized voting systems here as well. not just a minion, were created and billions in venezuela at the direction of hugo chavez some neck. sure, he never lost an election after one constitutional referendum came out the way he did not want to come out. all right, to fund the deceased hugo chavez, venezuela, and the us presidential election. so how far would you say we are from the twilight zone right now? or and if there is something beyond to try, let's all of them, we're past the twilight zone and we're actually behind that or beyond that in my view, at least because that is just that i don't have almost any worse nor have any observer see, or most observers and in the washington press corps here, forefoot for this,

they are no words to describe this in any way or form, legitimately or seriously. i mean, you heard it's hugo chavez. hugo chavez died in 2013. the latest comment with the punch cards in, in those demonic dominion machines are cia makes no sense in the powell. remember one is the lawyer all 3 of michael flynn lost all credibility from observer. so by observers and apparently so even rudy giuliani couldn't go that far in outlandish claims of what's going on here with this election. and then we've got president elect joe biden. he is drawing to move forward with this transition confirming that he will nominate tony blinken to be secretary of state. talked to me about what we know about lincoln and what his

nomination says about biden's foreign policy plans. i think here we need the kindergarten and now we're talking between adults are under adults here. so tony blinken is a former well known and well worst. obama aide. he was former national security advisor, a worse deputy secretary, secretary of state under obama. so with this, with his nomination, joe biden, signals to the world that trump shenanigans in foreign policy are over and that at least this is how joe biden approaches this, that they are over. and that he is installing people who are actually well worst and have a background and experience in foreign policy. that also means that probably the biden administration will do a lot of repair work. and blinken is the right guy. the right man for this says the

biden campaign, because he is really well versed is not this the foreign ministry in germany, or france, or anywhere in europe or in the middle east or in latin america or in asia. they know tony blinken, they have dealt with him before they know what to expect. and again, the big signal is to get people in my administration with background, with experience, and with vision, who also have this, this tremendous experience and who can repair, repair, the scorched earth. even in foreign policy, the trumpet administration has left behind, at least this is how divided ministration are by the future of private ministration and biden campaign sees that orange to fund simon's all the story for us in washington, stefan, as always, thank you. if it's true, we are talking about history in the making. israeli media is reporting that prime minister benjamin netanyahu held talks with the crown prince of saudi arabia

mohammed bin soundman in saudi arabia. on sunday, an unnamed israeli official was quoted saying netanyahu was accompanied by the head of israel's spy agency, the mossad on in an interview with the wall street journal, a saudi official confirmed the meeting, but the solti foreign minister tweeted that the meeting did not happen. prince soundman didn't meet with u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe in the city of the yom, of pain has been traveling with members of the american press pool during his mid east tour. but he left reporters at the airport when he met with the crown prince. the trump administration has brokered deals between israel and bahrain, the united arab emirates and sudan. but a deal with saudi arabia has so far remained elusive. so what is going on here from the more i want to bring in try to parse a, he's the executive vice president of the quincy institute for responsible state

craft in washington. and it's good to see you again, and i'll ask you what everyone, what everyone's been asking, who's heard this story? which switch, do you believe? did this meeting happen or did i suspect that it's quite likely that it did happen as also quite predictable that the saudis with deny it protected. mindful of the tensions that exist within the well founded as to whether there is wisdom to such a movement. clearly we know that the current king is opposed to it and that it is much less forgiving with the israelis are doing to the palestinians. whereas n.b.s. seems much more eager to move in this direction in particular. and from of that significant challenges m.b.'s is going to be in washington under by the miscreation . it seems quite likely that he would likely have such a meeting in order to use it to his favorite in washington. we have seen that you

ease decisions and recognize israel did not do anything to promote peace in the middle east, but it quite a lot into the u.a.e. standing in washington. a ha, and let's assume then that this meeting did happen. what is the, what's in it for the israelis well, from netanyahu as perspective being able to show that major arab powers no longer have a problem with the israeli occupation of palestinian territory. is something that vindicates his strategy, which is that occupation and expression is ok. and eventually the rest of the world will simply accept this fact that israel is taking at large and arthur part of control over palestinian territory. whereas these really left for quite some time have been making the argument that occupation is not sustainable. it was the threat to israel and the arab world and other neighbors will never accept it. and so from

his perspective, this makes a lot of sense. but i think there's a broader issue that is at play here, which has less to do with the palestinian issue and less to do with iran as it was, just the keeping. it was raining the saudi use, the u.a.e., and the israelis together is their interest in keeping the u.s. as security umbrella for them in the middle east. meaning that the united states remains militarily committed to the region. the greatest threat facing at the last 50 years is the american public is tired of the u.s. being in the middle east and wants to get out and measures of this kind, creating these alliances and using it to collectively fresh pressure. washington to remain committed to the middle east is something that we have seen that the israelis and the saudis and the u.a.e. have done before even sure of this formal recognition. so good. can you imagine that the crown prince, it's in his interest to basically sacrifice the fate of the palestinians in order

to have the israelis allied with him as a bulwark against iran. so that the americans still continue to see the iranian threat. is that what you're saying? part of it, i mean iran is very much use as that collective threat in order to justify this, but the bigger issue i think is to keep the u.s. invasion. that's part of the reason why these to be countries where the only countries in the world that were all poles to the iran nuclear deal. because he meant that the tensions between the united states and iran would reduce, which would enable the united states to have an easier time starting to withdraw its troops from the region, which was what the recording that the or against sacrificing the palestinian cause . something that the saudis in the u.a.e. and others have already done for quite some time is just getting much more open and formal now. and what about that big weapons deal? we've got about 30 seconds left. that big weapons deal between the u.s. and saudi arabia that happened after trump took office. yes,

that's an other element that the g.c.c. countries are using to keep the united states committed to their security. if you buy $60000000000.00 worth of american weaponry, whether you like it or not, whether washington lights it or not, there is an implicit security guarantee that is extended when you purchase data and of weaponry. and that is what needs countries and using michael the fact that they do not have formal defense pacts with the united states. you know, it's a very good point for the parties. always good to talk with you. we appreciate your insights tonight. thank you. and here, well the day is always done, but the conversation continues online. your find us on twitter either at u.w. news or you can follow me. yes, great golf t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. we'll see you then everybody

in

the car park out until now terminus has a large cache because it 19 is fundamentally changing that how was it in other european countries and what are the consequences of this development card? well coded 19 cash limits on d. w give us your country. the model will make you

rich woman, people will provide you with jobs play. the oil will take good care of places at least a big place over to cold on the west coast to come out in 2000, so distressed me the most. but years later, reality looks very different. flemister beaches, leggo drinking water shortage. players move to a desert. is it before you took a look? i mean it looks ok has happened to gone astray. and the flagpole thomas is going to starts december 4th, w. leg leave the remaining get to

leave the shoes his wrist bag. it would be a good place to sleep . chris, let me show such a risk. the book's a good place to send flavor bleach up the space. play play, play respect

this is g.w. news. tonight. mission to the moon, china launches an unmanned spacecraft headed for the lunar surface. the mission to bring lunar rocks back to earth. what would succès mean for trying his ambitious space program will last a rocket science. also coming up news in the fight against the drug maker, astra zeneca says the vaccine that it has developed with oxford university is up to 90 percent effective. and that it's cheap to make and easy to store and conflict in crisis in ethiopian federal forces. after

rebels reject government made it off. it's good to have you with us. just moments ago, china's space agency launched its ambitious mission to the moon to bring rock samples back to earth. named for the chinese got of the moon took off successfully from the space center on china's southern china island. it's the 1st mission by any nation to retrieve lunar samples. since the 1970s, a probe is expected to bring back to kilos of rocks and soil to help scientists learn more about earth's nearest neighbor, including how the moon was formed. the mission also showcases the advances that

china has made in space exploration technology. this spacecraft has towered above the southern island province of heine than 30 days. a symbol of china's technological prowess. and its military might a source of pride for many chinese. this is china's message to the world. it's china's global signature with you here. but your child, i think by being able to launch such moon exploration, china is making history. the china 5 rocket is comprised of several components. one is the lander, which will dig for rocks and soil. these materials will then be transferred into the return capsule for the journey back to perth. with all other currently in a program consists of 3 phases, overseeing landing and returning. the chuang, a 5,

will carry out the 3rd phase, bringing moon samples back to earth. we hope this will be a success. we hope your mind that you hope, if it is a success, it would be the 1st time in 4 decades. that material has been brought back from the moon. china's space ambitions are no secret and have been growing for years. in 2003, it secured a major breakthrough when it became the 3rd country in the world to send a man into space. 10 years later trying to hit another milestone successfully landing and unpiloted spacecraft on the moon. it was the 1st soft landing since the soviet union success in 1976. more chinese cheers in january 29000 in a global first alluna probe. touching down on the far side of the moon,

boosting china's space ambitions. mas is also in its sights. this year, beijing launched an unmanned probe to the planet. in july, it put the final satellite into orbit for its chinese navigation system. the country's rival to u.s. owned g.p.s. . but this lunar mission to bring back material from the moon is one of china's most ambitious to date and one which beijing is determined to be another success. or even for more now i'm joined by keith keller. he is a blogger, and founder of the website, nasa watches, well as being a former rocket scientist. it's good to see you again. so or the chinese of see what are they hoping to achieve with this mission? well, it's the latest in a series of missions. sept the 1st, the u.s. and russia sent to the mood. this is an interesting one because it's going to

a place that we've never seen a mission before. it's in the solution of storms in it's, you know, it's right here. it's a volcanic region which means that they're going to be set drilling down about 2 meters into volcanic pitcher, ial, which will show how long the moon was an active body after it was formed. what it media like today and with the magnetic field was like on the moon early in its history. so we don't really have that information yet. so this will be a very important bit of science once the rocks return to earth. and he for looking at live pictures right now from china mission control from the that rocket that has just launched. where do you see china in terms of its place in the space race? do you see it joining the space race similar to what we saw between the soviet union and the u.s. during the cold war? well, i was allied to that to the race, to the cold war. it was us versus the soviet union. and today, there may be

a one race to maybe 50 races. it's a very multi-polar activity. in some ways, we're racing in a commercial sense in the way we're racing the scientific sense, but we're also collaborating a lot with each other. so we're just trying to fit in this, they're clearly up at the top tier of the space capable nations right now. and this mission will just further that, you know, prominence in that regard. there seems to be an increased interest in the moon lately. i mean, we're talking about the u.s. sending men and women back to the moon in the next decade. why is that interest? why is it coming up again? well, we have unfinished business in the moon. it's not unusual for people to explorers too. like the 1st 2 groups that walked across antarctica. so full, nobody did that again. for another 50 years afterwards, they flew over here planes, but they really didn't do much there. so i think a lot of people realize that we have a lot of things. we don't know yet about the moon and that missions like this

commutes of those questions. so, again, it's not just us and the russians, and more is a lot of nations. india has sent probes there. jeff, you can sit probes there, you know, china's that many probes so soon you'll see israel tried and so there's a song in the sixty's called, everyone's gone to the moon and that's exactly what's happening today. and yeah, just it'll be interesting to see who decides to stay there. 1st. keith cowing former rocket scientists and founder of the website, nasa, watch keith as always, good talking with you. thank you. it's the pleasure. well, there are more encouraging signs in the race to develop a coronavirus vaccine. the drug maker, astra zeneca and oxford university have announced their vaccine is up to 90 percent effective in preventing covered 19, the vaccine was most effective when patients were given or 1st. given a half dose followed by a full dose one month later. and crucially, this new vaccine does not require extreme cold storage. and it's relatively cheap and easy to mass produce. these tiles held

a promising formula for ending the covert. 19 pandemic globally. a cheap, effective, easy to distribute that scene. we have to get a lot of people vaccinated. we're not thinking about, but it's the nation's working times of one person. it's time we have to think about vaccinating communities, populations, reducing transmission within those populations, so that we really get on top of this pandemic. and that's what it now looks like ray gun totting ability to contribute, share, and have written a big way. the vaccine was developed at the u.k.'s university of oxford using the i don't know, virus platform. researchers took a common cold virus that infects chimpanzees, genetically engineering it to trick the human body into thinking it has been infected with the virus that causes that 19. i'm producing an immune response, over $24000.00 volunteers took part in the clinical trials in the u.k., brazil, and south africa. the late stage trials show the a done

a viral vaccine is better at preventing hospitalizations and severe cases of covert 19. then the m r n, a vaccines developed by modernity and fires are by on tech. but people are not getting sick with the spike scene, which means that ultimately, even if you were to get ill, you have mild symptoms. and so i think that's incredibly important because it will keep hospital beds free and people won't be dying from the surf in this virus. and that's not the only advantage. unlike the m.r. in a vaccines, it can be kept at normal french temperatures, making it easier to distribute, especially in developing countries. it can also be manufactured at scale, meaning it can be produced in much greater quantities and at much lower cost than its rivals. but i think this will be a truly global vaccine in terms of its deploy ability and its accessibility. and

it's going to be probably more affordable than most others for little, middle income countries. astra zeneca has pledged it won't make a profit from the fact seen during the pandemic. if it gets regulatory approval, the firm says it's ready to produce 3000000000 doses next year. or earlier, we spoke to one of the immunologist at oxford university. is jenner institute to zinn volved in the clinical trials for this promising banksy? we are delighted with these results. it's been a very long, difficult, 9 months for us all on the team here in oxford say without c delighted with these results. so the fines are in what biotech vaccines are and are in a box scenes. that's a much newer technology. i know m r n a vaccine has ever been licensed, whereas our vaccine is based on and that new virus. and this technology is not new, it's been around and developed for lots of other diseases like malaria, influenza. and they've been tested in children and older adults in lots of different settings. and so we have lots of good safety to shape safety data to show

that they are suitable for use in large populations in young children. up to very older adults said we're confident this vaccine will work well in the whole population. so this is very much what we hope and this is what we've been working from for in the beginning. the deal that was signed between the university of oxford and astra zeneca was intended to supply facts in a to go play will scale. the deal that we have with us to senate means that the university doesn't profit from the sale of this vaccine. while the pandemic is happening and that we will never profit from this vaccine, from the sale of it to, you know, middle income countries because we wanted you want this to be a vaccine for the whole world. there was kitty, you were speaking with me earlier. if you o.p.'s government is warning residents of the embattled, the region that anything can happen as the clock ticks down on its alter, made of the government has given forces until wednesday to lay down their arms or face an assault on the regional capital. but the people's liberation front has
