this is g w news. why is it from berlin tonight? there are now 2 code with 19 bank scenes waiting for fastrack clearance. the drug company, modernity has asked both the european union and the united states for the emergency go ahead on its vaccine. pfizer and by on tech started their requests in the u.s. last week. what does this mean for vaccine distribution? also coming up tonight, a heinous and senseless massacre. that's how the u.n. describes the killings of more than a 100 nigerian farm workers murdered by armed men on motorcycles. and the

mass resignation of hong kong opposition lawmakers means there is no longer any resistance in government to beijing. we'll hear from one ex lawmaker who joined the stand up to follow suit. and his board say for the crash leaves racing fans breathless, but formula one driver to mind escapes with his life. look at this, walking away from a great ball of falling off to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states. and to all of you around the world, welcome as november ends, december is beginning with a raise for and i approve coronavirus vaccine. the u.s.

drug firm says it's applying for emergency approval of its kind of ad 19 vaccine in both europe and the united states. now that could lead to distribution in the u.s. as soon as in some time in december, the company says full trial results show its vaccine was 94 percent effective with no serious safety concerns. the filing sets up medan as product to be the 2nd vaccine likely to receive special authorization after one developed by pfizer and bio intent are joining me now is young. it's not says he is with the european public health alliance. he is a board member of the european medicines agency, may, which is dealing with his request for authorization here in europe. mr. nazis is good to have you on the program. we want to be clear, you're not speaking on behalf of email,

but you do know the procedures there. when do you think madonna will be granted approval? thank you very much for having me. well, that remains to be seen. we've seen in recent weeks, a lot of these press releases from several pharmaceutical companies. we've seen candidates, but pharmaceutical companies press release is not necessarily science. it can be marketing but is not science. so where this very critical point right now, where the regulators, for instance, the european medicines agency in europe, needs to look at all the data and come to its own conclusions on whether or not and when authorize these products and to provide these and the grounds that these vaccine candidate with a condition of marketing authorization that remains to be seen. i don't have, i'm not a fortune teller, so i cannot tell you exactly when. and i think that also politicians need to be a bit more careful a bit more nuanced when announcing to the world of specific timelines where we

don't have yet to be assessment coming from the regulatory authorities. you know, because we are hearing from certain public health officials, not necessarily politicians that we could be looking at the 1st delivery of a vaccine, particularly in the united states by mid december. is that, is that too early in your opinion? well, for the us it's up to the food and drug administration, the f.d.a. . so there they have different procedures and we will see when the green light, we come from the e.u. made for the for europe. doesn't it? these it tool assessments do not necessarily need to be aligned. i would say this stage we have on one hand, that procurement procedures are going for the birth of your mind of these potential vaccines. but we should let the record do their job. their job is something

different than the requirement negotiations for ceding these contracts. for these potential vaccines against the bank team. let me ask you, mr. not just the news that we've been reporting the last couple of weeks has been based on these preliminary data release is about the trials for these vaccines. do you think that data should be made public as early as it is, or should that be something that waits for the you know, the regulatory agencies such as e m a or the f.d.a.? well, we need to see exactly. you're making a very valid point. there is a difference between these press releases and this is good news indeed. i mean, it is certainly promising news, but there were companies themselves in their own press releases that were making clear that this is pretty been very data, which she's likely to change. therefore, i think clinical trials date that transparency ease a sense of having an independent review and assessment of these data. because of

course, companies, they know they're conducting the trials and they can claim whatever they want. but we need to check those claims, and we to make sure that we provide the citizens not only in europe, obviously, but around the world with safe and effective effective vaccines. i think you will agree with me that this is essential for the overall trust and confidence in the scenes and the overall trust in the handling of the public health emergency. yes, yanis not to use with the european public health alliance and a board member of the european medicines agency. mr. not sweep your time and your insights tonight. thank you very much. our lives have a look now at of the developments in the corona virus pandemic, turkey has further tightened its coronavirus measures announcing a curfew on weekdays, in full lockdowns over the weekend. it comes after a record rise. in new cases,

the director general of the world health organization has urged countries not to politicize the hunt for the origins of coded 19 saying that would create boundaries to learning the truth. vietnam has reported its 1st locally transmitted case in some 3 months of the words have introduced tipperary lockdowns in an effort to curb further transmission and brazil's paolo's state has imposed stricter social distancing measures. it comes as the w.h.o. urged the country to be very serious about what it called very worrisome case. numbers were deadly as coded. 19 can be most patients recover from the virus fairly quickly. but there's a growing awareness that some patients suffer. a range of health issues even months after getting over the initial infection. d.w. met one cove in $1000.00 patient who told us about the illness that she's endured

for 8 months. peggy, good and is battling the long term effects of coated 9 tain. when she became sick in march, she had fi symptoms, but it's now devastated her life. but he's confident enough that i only became gravely ill months later in june. but at the time i thought that everything would eventually be fine, but things didn't improve. i was extremely ill for many, many weeks, which turned into months and i never got better. what a nice pic he is, one of 40 covert survivors here suffering from long term effects of the illness. germany's baltic sea coast. their symptoms are being treated at a rehabilitation center after the virus pygmy felt burnt out, she suffered from dizzy spells and chronic pain.

the cognitive i'm showing in some cases i also had cognitive difficulties. like my head wasn't functioning properly. i couldn't hear at povich and, and couldn't follow conversations. well, often covert patients like peggy say, their concerns aren't being taken seriously by the doctors it's very difficult for some doctors to understand when they look at me. i look healthy. physically, i'm reasonably strong. at least i appear to be and then you get dismissed very quickly. they say her mind is not ok. i'm not afraid, but i still wonder if i will ever be the same again as a coded survivor, peggy has officially recovered from the illness. but she says it feels like

coronavirus has stolen her healthy body, left there with a sick one in its place. brady has been here for 2 weeks now. her main goal is to get her mental health back on track. i need some warm even if you life 5 days, it was a weekend and so on. my life might be more intense than it was before. on the one hand, i'd like it to be like it was before on the other. the world is just falling apart because of the pandemic right now. at the moment, life is dramatically different for everyone, but i think i'll be a different person than i was before. all the signs that say ok, take a good and has 3 more weeks of rehab ahead of her. oh, she wants to do is get back to a normal life again. it's

a long night scene. here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world mass protests have prompted the french government to say that it will rewrite a draft security law which sought to restrict the filming of police. tens of thousands demonstrated against the bill and police brutality over the weekend. tensions were inflamed by video of police beating a black man in paris. iran has held a funeral for the country's top nuclear scientists killed in an ambush last week. most, in fact, resodded was credited with establishing iran's nuclear program 20 years ago. tehran has blamed israel for the killing. it has value revenge. ethiopia's prime minister abi off made on monday praised government troops for their victory against the people's liberation front, the t p l. f. n t great. but the rebel groups leader has insisted they are

still resisting government attacks. you know, the war has killed thousands of people and sent thousands more into sudan as refugees. when more than a 100 people have been killed in what the u.n. calls a massacre in nigeria's northern border state. eyewitnesses said militants on motorcycles rounded up and killed farmers who were bringing in their harvest. the victims of a gruesome massacre laid to rest in a mass burial 13. pull out, say the farm workers were attacked by armed insurgents on motorbikes. while they were harvesting rice. some was shot others at their throats caught. it is that there were 6 of us in the bush, then we headed back into the village. we were shocked when we got there micah. we

found the bodies and that was where the main killings took place. then we went through a nearby village called good though. we met so many people fleeing from our village without knowing where they were going. a huge amounts of harvested rice was set on fire used as you well know. this is the most violent attack on civilians and bone i state this year. the region in northeastern nigeria has been gripped by a jihadist insurgency for a decade. both the islamic group boko haram and a rival group. the i.a.s. affiliated so-called islamic state, west africa province operate here. the 2 groups have been blamed for attacks on phone isn't fishermen who make use of spying for the army and pro-government militia. but so far, there's been no claim of responsibility. because i came around and killed many of

our people because we need assistance. we need weapons because we have young men who couldn't guard our farm as well. they were please, please for god's sake the team work. i don't have that done. the nigerian military has been unable to quell the insurgency in which tens of thousands have been killed or up to ted. there are reports that several women may also have been kidnapped and then they just incident. and the number of men remain missing, raising fears that the death toll from this brutal attack could still rise. we're beginning to stay december 1st. there will be no opposition. in hong kong's parliament, the resignations of 15 pro-democracy lawmakers have officially come into force. they stepped down 2 weeks ago to protest a wall passed by beijing that gives the government the right to expel lawmakers without due process. the resignations mean the city's pro beijing administration

will be able to pass laws without even a murmur of protest, while makers say they had no other option but to quit. but for many, it will mean not being able to do work that is vital for many people. for hong kong opposition lawmaker show couch and his last week in public office. it's all about prisons as that's he's going to meet the 1st man charged under the national security law in post in july. goes on for another. i believe he still has to be cassidy for year or so. before we get to half a sentence. i was told he's having some personal problems or so i applied for special official visit today to meet him in person. i would like to change 2016 cities most prominent legislator fighting for prisoners' rights has made over 200 of his 4 year term. and more than half of them to protest related

prisoners. as a council member, he gets to meet inmates in private for an hour each visit, in contrast to their regular 15 minute public visits. but with his term coming to an end soon, he will no longer enjoy such privilege. yet there are ways that hong kong's pro-democracy cam resigned on mass only or this month in protest at the expulsion of 4 other lawmakers. catalyst for the action was a beijing resolution giving hong kong authorities power to unseat politicians without having to go through the city's karts. she'll catch on this counting down his time in the parliament, although he could see this day coming. it's still ok message shark. i never thought it would be so far, so we often say, gee, i'm paying a new amp or a more ruthless and domineering. there are many leaders in the past properly. as my

was a dong now we see that he could even and one country 2 systems in a blink of an eye. after starting out as a social worker and university lecturer, she became one of the leading activists in the umbrella movement in 2014 and was sentenced to 8 months in jail last year. as a legislator. it was a traumatic experience for him, but he still keeps his belongings from prison to remind himself of his mission. in the past 4 years, becoming a lawmaker, it was the peak of my life. but then i was sent to prison. the lowest point of my life, it was so tough in there and i had to find meaning of life by fighting for prisoners' rights. i taught myself, i'm an undercover law maker in jail. i'm here as a present for the checks on possible abuse by prison officers. i'm here to monitor the government since the anti-government movement started in hong kong last year,

over 10000, people have been arrested with the rise of a generation of political prisoners shows easter pressing needs to provide support for these young people and their families. he initiated a pen friends scheme earlier this year and has handled $6000.00 letters so far. he plans to organize 3 jail workshops after he leaves. the console being in prison is losing freedom by having a lot of time. and it is the same with leaving the legislative council and public resources in return have more time to focus on this particular issue. i don't know how far i can go with the fight on prisoners' rights. but i promise i will go as far as i care. you're watching g.w. news still to come. he's known as the world's loneliest elephant and thanks impart to share. he now has the promise of a new start and perhaps even

a new love. if only he could turn back time, we'll have that story in just a moment. australia has demanded an apology from beijing after a senior chinese official posted a doctored image on twitter in an attempt to criticize australian soldiers, the fake picture appears to depict an australian soldier killing a young civilian holding a sheep together with the words. don't be afraid. we're coming to bring you peace in follows a report earlier this month about the conduct of australian soldiers in afghanistan . joining me here at the big table is my colleague, joe joe royle kay, joe, this is not a nice story. what's behind this tweet? well, there are 2 major issues colliding here, 1st war crimes allegations against australia and troops, and then a major diplomatic dispute between a straightly and china. so let's start with the war crimes allegations. a stray,

a is still reeling after the findings of an official inquiry into the conduct of its special forces troops, the s.a.'s in afghanistan, they were there up until 2016. now this inquiry found credible evidence that australian troops may have been involved in the murder of up to 39 afghanistani prisoners and civilians which may amount to war crimes and further that troops were initiated by being encouraged to kill afghanis. now these terrible allegations are being investigated by the police and will likely result in prosecution and australia's prime minister has apologized to afghanistan. martin to tell us about the tweet in question. so that report came out a few days ago, but on monday this week in the early hours of monday, an official at the chinese foreign ministry tweeted from an fishel govern account saying that he was shocked by the murder of afghan civilians by a stray and soldiers now had the tweet stopped, their study might not have had much to complain about. aside from the fact that

these crimes are alleged are not yet proven. but the official went further. he attached this image. this doctored image of a proposed to show an australian soldier holding a knife to the throat of a young afghani child, and that enraged a straight is prime minister, who called his image repugnant and offensive. we can have a listen now to what scott morrison had to say. it is absolutely righteous and it cannot be justified on any vices whatsoever. the chinese government should be totally ashamed of this post. there are undoubtably tensions that exist between china and a strike here. but this is not how you do with them. joe talked to me about these tensions that he was talking about. rival diplomatic relations

between australia and china are at their lowest in decades. china is furious that a stray of the of the calling for a global inquiry into the origins of the coven. 19 virus meant china has slapped a major tariffs on many a straight in goods, including based bali wine that let exports slow down through the processing system . and that is really cost is trade in commie, dealy. it relies heavily on exports to china. now this to a lot of dispute does not appear to be getting any better at all. in fact, china has refused to apologize for that using that image and has said that a straightly is should be ashamed for the conduct of its troops. now of course, normally its western governments criticizing china, run of the human rights issues, and in china turns around and says they had it out of our affairs. and now the reverse is happening. but what happened here is that china gave the astray and prime minister a reason to take the moral high ground by using this doctored image. and that's comes off the weights of which scott morrison had been on the back foot over this issue of war crimes. you know, a bad use of fake news if there was ever a good use of it to begin with. jill dougherty is always joe. thank you. are you

going to sports now formula one. the racing in sunday's bahrain grand prix was overshadowed by a fiery crash. the french driver among groups, john was slightly injured and he's been ruled album next weekend's rays, but i think he was just happy to walk away in one piece. take a look. this was the moment when formula one held its breath careers into a crash barrier and his engulfed in a ball of flame miraculously crucial and managed relatively unscathed from the inferno. but this was an accident that seemed to come from a bygone age. no car had been split in 2 in a crash in 1991, while a crush on caused the car to catch fire since 1990. but there was an angel and gross on the shoulder, the halo. the titanium structure protects the driver from head injury. yet there

was much skepticism when it was introduced in 2018, not least from the man whose life it almost certainly saved. all the hey, who is though? i think it is a great thing that both the one that was in the it when they think they will be the good and want to use what suits him if he isn't good. another former, he will skeptic world champion lewis hamilton. thank the sport's governing body for what he called the must have strikes they taken in try for safety. but while the sport rightly cuts itself on the back, the post-mortem has already begun a set have a crush that made scrap iron of car and body alike was able to hop on a tall. 8 pack of derm once called the world's loneliest elephant, has arrived in cambodia to begin a new life at an elephant sanctuary. kevon and you see right behind me spent his

his former handlers would probably him with trusted full hooks to make him perform . in 2012, matches were made to us female partner and only companion died of blood poisoning. plunging the bull elephant into great. i remember his girlfriend. she was also had we all remember how she died many years ago and ever since then he has been all along to change when animal rights activists got involved and a high profile campaign, a us puppet edge. and shad spent years pushing for the elephants, resettlement. garnering the support of high profile politicians, including pakistan's prime minister that campaigning has paid off. she was there to welcome. as he touched down in cambodia, the elephant will now be transferred 281-0000 hectare wildlife sanctuary. where

he'll spend the rest of his days, free of chinese, cat full, and no longer lonely. new home houses 3 potential new mates and to prepare him for his arrival. his cameras have made sure he's well fed and looking his best for the ladies. the fans. wonder if you know the words to argue back with the day.
