this is just another example, the speech was extremely good. it was very personal by her, you know, by her standards, she appealed to people's conscience and she still also gave people the opportunity to understand the details. so she doesn't give, doesn't just give you big slogans. she also explains little measures measures and why she feels it's necessary. they did leave political correspondent, nina hauser, thanks so much. and the german parliament is our chief political editor, mckayla cook, who is also listening into the chancellor's speech. mckayla give us some of your holidays if you will, of merkel's address to blow my case. well clearly she made a point of explaining every single detail she now is listening to the response of the far right party, which is the largest opposition party in parliament saying that the damage from those measures is worse then covered 19 itself. going to america herself,

argue that with some 27000000, people in germany, that's about a 3rd of the population deemed a risk group simply doesn't hold up. if you look at the facts, those are also people who will be provided mass, but we can also tell that she is on track to try and get some european consensus on those weeks ahead. she wants to get this ski resorts in europe closed and that will require quite a bit of european leadership. particularly looking at all stria, which of course relies on that income. also, she's looking possibly with envy and partially with horror to germany's european neighbors 1st of all. there are countries whose health systems are already near its limit or even further beyond that, like italy and france. but then there are countries who had a much tougher lock down. then germany, for instance, arland, which are able to escape, not just the exponential phase,

but already on the way down when it comes to new infections. and that's clearly where she wants to get germany. and we can also see here that she didn't get exactly what she wanted sitting down with those state premiers. because if it was up to her, and constitutionally it isn't, there would be much tougher measures in place throughout germany throughout those 16 federal states. but it also shows that she needs every ounce of the or 40 that she's built up over the past 15 years to keep those 16 state premiers. well, at least within line of what was agreed yesterday. because in the life we could see some trouble faces and some shaking heads, i wonder in terms of the law, the live audience in parliament. how did her remarks go down in the german parliament? well she pretty much has everybody on board except the far right party and they actually tap into that camp of $1000.00 deniers, flatout deniers. that's not something the f.t.

itself is doing. they're also now wearing masks, but they had some of those activists in parliament as guests which created quite a stir here in germany because they were essentially heckling m.p.'s and ministers on their way to parliament. he sees the latest set of legal measures which was decided upon by with a majority here in the, in the start as an attack on the constitution. so we see quite a bit of political framing going on there by the far right party, which after being against the euro, being against migration seems to found a new single issue to go by, which is that covered 19 really isn't as bad and that it's potentially killing the economy, but if you look across europe and the world, germany is the country that has put the largest proportion of public funds into simply keeping the economy running for now. and so far it has bounced back

remarkably fast. but i'm saying that going into the 2nd wave and as angela merkel just said herself, it's a very grim winter. it will be a bad winter, but there will be a time after winter, and that's where all those hopes rest on the vaccine. which also was cautioned yesterday is not some kind of miracle cure so far from the german parliament, our chief political editor, macculloch, of my thank you. well to other news now. and argentina has declared 3 days of mourning for superstar footballer the egg america. he died on wednesday at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack. his body has now arrived at the presidential palace and want to see areas where it will lie in state, on his legions of fans have been mourning his passing at stadiums around the city. many consider marriage donna, to be the best player there ever was. but his life, both on and off the pitch, was also marked by controversy. his doctor at his side. this is the last public

photo of diego, armando modeled on or after a successful brain operation. early november. he'd been visibly ill for some time. he was the coach for a top argentinian team, but the 60 year old was having trouble staying on his feet. marathon i grew up in a poll suburb of corn as it is. his rise to stardom was b.t.r. . his goals spectacular. the striker with the number 10 shirt had his career highlight at the 986 world cup in mexico. he dribbled his way through, confused and helpless defensive lines. his hand assisted goal against england will go down in history. marathoner later miss deviously called it the hand of god. he became a national hero in argentina. but after the great rise came the fall, he struggled with drug and alcohol addiction for years. after his brain surgery,

he was going through detox, but marathoner suffered a heart attack. the magical and talented marathoner will now receive a state funeral fitting for one of the greatest footballers, if not the greatest of all time. well, just how many laws donna touched, became abundantly clear in the aliza mediately after news of his death brought thousands of stunned football fans in argentina, spain and italy, poor out onto the streets to on a and to celebrate their life. adl government has declared 3 days of national mourning and to further the underline the impact of the men, even the pope expressed his sore celebration of life. to honor the death of a hero. tyson's a fans gathered at the oval eskin when his aires,

in commemoration of the football. great a very sad i have no words to describe such pain. i think a boy who has some clubs for their set got his day at the legend of marriage on a is global victorians, local star, good reason that he was a superstar. he was truly great. and he is especially remembered in the cities where he played like barcelona michel when i came to visit enough to know him just well. since i was born, maradona was always a presence. he was a god for the whole world in a fishbowl or he was the best of the best for. 6 our in naples with the fans and won't forget the 2 italian championships. they won. gerry maradona's time in their city.

there's no money. this is a sign of that we will hold up all over nicolas. his death has rocked the world to fit ball. tributes are flooding in from the sport's biggest stars, including one from his compatriot and successor, lionel messi. even the vatican has expressed condolences. pope francis cole, who is also argentinian, and an ardent football lover himself had met marriage ana, on many occasions. he held the former football player in his prayers, remembering him with affection. the rest of the world is following suit. well, for more we spoke about marriage on his legacy to journalist james granger, the editor of the one a series times newspaper. and we put it to him that for argentinians marijuana was

much more than just a football player. i mean, marathons personal story obviously plays a lot into that. but i think it really what he, what he was was an example of what you can achieve. it was a guy who grew up in a vicious shanty town in overwhelming poverty. you know, stated, aim was he wanted to play in order to buy a house for his model, which obviously he did and then some. and i think really what he did was break through a ceiling perhaps existed before, and the worldwide fame he achieved, obviously shows that talent was appreciated wide. and i think really will go into a period now, if you will, of grief, of almost everyone that learns from, you know, diego was a genuine man. and that's very true. is someone who spoke his mind always, no matter what trouble we got him self in. and i think you know, in terms of his coaching career, his legacy will not be so strong. but the memories that he's forged and he took argentina in his chosen sport to as high as they could possibly go. and i think

those, that kind of, that kind of achievement will never quite be matched on the same level. given the way that the way that he played in the way that he was an inspiring, i mean everyone wanted to watch. i was journalist james granger from want to seri speaking to the w a little earlier. ok. here are some of the other stories making headlines this hour . hundreds of demonstrators have taken to the streets in chile to support legislation, allowing them to withdraw up to 10 percent of their pension funds, early opposition. micah's site would hope them to cope with the count economic crisis. chile's unemployment rate has tripled during the pandemic. hundreds of protesters have marched through the colombian capital of bogota on the international day for the elimination of violence against women. there were similar rallies around the globe to demand justice for agenda. crimes of latin american countries taking pot include europe, wide, chile, mexico, and peru. u.s. president donald trump. as pavane former national security advisor michael flynn.

flynn had pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. about interactions he had with russia's ambassador to the u.s. . it's the highest profile, pardon granted by trump, since he took office. well, if you open his prime minister, ahmed says the army has been ordered to move on the capital of the no than teac rive region in what he's calling the final phase of the offensive some half a 1000000 residents of the capital mckayla have been warned to stay indoors, the move comes just hours after an ultimatum expired for regional leaders to surrender to the central government. the u.n. is warning, it is running low, one essential supplies for the nearly 1000000 people who have been displaced by the conflict. this baby boy is just 2 weeks old. the newborn doesn't even have a name yet, but he's already been through much more than he should have worked and i gave birth in the hope that is it with no one to help me. his mother says,

she says people brought her and the baby to a refugee camp and that she's been waiting for help for 2 weeks. many people here have similar stories and there are new arrivals every day. more than 40000, people have fled the fighting in the ethiopian region of teague right across the border into sudan. people have come in all sorts of conditions with absolutely nothing. no money, no more clothes, no food, no contact with people. never enough. quote everyone here off guard to help, so it's a powerful 1st few, few days and weeks. it's hard to get, a true sense of what's happening on the ground in t., gride. some reports speak of thousands of people dead, but this is difficult to verify because of an internet blackout restricted media access and blocked telephone lines. ethiopian government troops are said to have surrounded the provincial capital, mckayla, and i threatening a major offensive if the leaders of the tea gripe people's liberation front do not

surrender. ethiopia's prime minister ahmed who won the nobel peace prize last year, doesn't appear to be pushing for a peaceful solution. he's demanded the international community stay out of the conflict. the highly aggressive rhetoric on both sides regarding the fight for many is dangerously provocative. and it risks placing already vulnerable and frightened civilians in grave danger over the border in sudan, those who made it out of a just trying to get by the young mother who recently gave birth hopes her child point be forced to grow up in a refugee camp. and before we go, a quick reminder of the top story we're following for you this hour. german chancellor angela has warned that the number of covered 19 cases and deaths is still too high. in an address to parliament, she outlines new measures to curb the spread of the virus, including an extension of a partial lockdown, probably into next year. you're watching news live from berlin.

more news coming at the top of the hour. in the meantime, there's a why is our web site and t w dot com? you can also follow us on instagram and twitter as well. the handle is at the w. news for now i'm anthony held for me and the team here in berlin. thanks for watching the fate of against the coronavirus pandemic, has the rate of infection been developing. what does the latest research say? information and context? the coronavirus update. 19 special on t w. every day counts for us and for all the planet

nigeria is, is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities green? how can we protect habitats? we can make a difference. good morning to this environmental series in 2000, on g.w. and online as vaccines receive approval and become available to the world, the next questions ethical, such as, who gets the vaccine 1st? not only do we have to take into account which age groups to prioritize, but also so which jobs. frontline health workers around the world are already demanding better protection. and how should distribution work around the world? as it stands,

rich countries are already preparing infrastructure and buying up future doses by the billions good word that leave poor countries already grappling with inadequate health care systems, struggling to secure their own. the fair distribution of a coronavirus vaccine looks to be one of the major challenges of the coming months . if not years. the world health organization who will hear from later says the world cannot afford to get it wrong for time is running out to prepare a framework for getting any vaccine to everyone who needs it. it's a huge achievement for the scientists at the university of oxford. together with drug maker, astra zeneca, they've developed their own corona virus vaccine. researchers say it's most effective when patients receive a half dose, followed by a 2nd full dose a month later. the developer say it offers several advantages over competing big

scenes. it can be stored at refrigerator temperatures for more than 6 months, making it easy to distribute. and astra zeneca claims it can be produced more cheaply than other vaccines. the company is now seeking emergency use listing from the world health organization. it's really excellent to see that the high efficacy that we're now getting at these trials, coupled with the safety, billeted to manufacture in large doses. the billets to feed into existing distribution networks or vaccines that already are in place around the world. because all of that to get this vaccine and other vaccines as well is what's going to really make a difference. we have to get a lot of people that made it the 3rd western drug company to report success with their corona, virus vaccine candidates. recently german company biotech in partnership with pfizer and u.s. based company madonna presented m r n. a based convert 1000 big scenes,

which the companies claim are almost 95 percent effective. vaccines developed by chinese and russian researchers also show high reported efficacy. some have already been approved for mergence use. the next challenge is going to be to get enough people immunized fast enough to have an impact on the virus. and that does take time. simply takes time to manufacture, to get vaccines, distributing them to get into people's homes. it can't just be done. it remarked. so the more vaccines we've got, the more doses the reach of the right. since we've got, the easier that's going to be. the question remains, how can the vaccines be distributed in a fair way without discriminating against poorer nations? that's the challenge facing the covert $916.00 global access initiative, kovacs. but with industrialized nations having already secured iran,

1200000000 doses for themselves, the task is daunting. but we can now speak to richard, may he go from the world health organization, immunization and vaccine development program. he joins us from brazzaville in republic of congo. thanks a lot for being with us. so let's just talk about this kovacs coalition for getting the vaccine to the poor countries of vaccines getting close to kovacs is still something like 4000000000. under-funded is kovacs going to be ready for this vaccine? well, i think 1st of all we need to clarify that the courts will set out to make sure that countries, including the majority of africa get its

lot and its it some goals. at least we don't use this, but we can i do you look at countries and if you want so we can target a fund raising over this. it or it's a tourist out $2000000000.00 maybe end of december 2020. is it 1st, though we don't see it, or at least the preliminary data that we have showed that that started to give you reach something very close to the source where you can you go in under 787 countries involved in kind of acts already, which is you know a lot of countries,, but there's one notable country that is not involved in that. the u.s., i mean, can this program succeed without the world's biggest economy?

well, i think that has been because the debate that it is being shown that t.n.t. the victim of at least vaccines to a list. you looked country through. that mechanism can be a cheat. because if you look at the number of the car, but there are 2 books today, we have 189 countries and presenting close to 90 percent of the globe of have, supported the initiative. saw as much as we have now. the u.s., the united states of america to join i think that's what is down so far. it's a really good sign also in there it's, you look at, you know, supporting, got less reaching up in introducing these are seen at the same time. they're reaching yes, there any hope that under

a biden presidency that the u.s. might get involved? well, i think it's good to work out pretty deep, so we cherish and we go. but we do hope that the changes are going to sit. mites, of course, send it different signal and we should say, how confident is the director that poor nations are going to be able to get access to the vaccines they need when i think nobody can be 100 percent? sure. and this has been even reads, as you know, when i was during the g. 20 summit, there was a release that some of the country, particularly in africa. i mean, may not get the vaccine. i decided time that other countries saw i think we are

continuing to push for that and to make sure that many countries in the region, we asked this same thing. but there is very little guarantee at the moment that we think this is why we need to continue to do that. if i focus her to me, go from the world health organization. thanks for joining us on the call in $1000.00 special. thank you very much. and that is the part of the program where you get to ask the questions, you've been submitting them through our you cheap channel. so now let's put one of them to ask a science correspondent, eric williams covered 19, now endemic. when i read this question, i thought ok, it's time to talk about the elephant in the room. the fact that despite all of our

fondest hopes, this virus is not going to fizzle out and go away 1st. let's define endemic the way we're using the word here. is, and it's epidemiological sense which describes when an infection is more or less constantly present in the background within a specific population and geographic region. but it also implies that it's in a kind of steady state, which hope in 1000 is not at the moment. it's still spreading fast and furiously in many places all over the planet. one of 2 things could happen next. when enough people build up immunity to it through infection or vaccination. coated 19 could become an endemic disease or it could just apparently burn itself out and disappear like sars dead. but not that's not going to happen. in other words, at this point, if we could say that the disease was endemic, we actually be farther along the road towards returning to life as usual that we

are. it would mean covert 9000 was no longer out of control, but was a disease we had tools to cope with. we'll develop those tools eventually just like we did with aids and influenza. in fact, probably a lot faster, but, but wiping the virus out entirely at this point would take a massive planet wide strategy like the one that wiped out smallpox and has nearly vanished polio. but projects like that take high levels of cooperation between nations and they take time. so who teen is going to be with us for the foreseeable future? to some extent, at least for how law will depend on us science correspondent eric williams. a vaccine for coverage 19 could be just around the corner, but how willing are people around the world to at least take it? a recent survey published in the journal nature shows around 70 percent of

respondents would take a vaccine when it became available. people in asian countries like china, south korea and japan, lead the way in terms of their readiness to get vaccinated while large proportions of some eastern european countries. for example, like poland and hungary say they don't want it. but what about you would you get vaccinated against covered 19, we're taking a survey on both pat twitter account. and i used to channel that at g.w. underscore site tech or deal with news on you tube logon and let us know if you'd be willing to take a vaccine when one becomes why widely available. and if not, why not, we'll bring you the results of the survey very soon. and that's all from us. and for the latest development on the corona virus pandemic, you can go to our website either way, dot com, slash call it 19 until next time. take a cat and stay healthy. they
