does a world kids 3 love love, love, love, love, love, can't sleep, couldn't sleep along came a small the european union has now secured 2000000000 doses of coded 19 vaccines more than enough for everyone in europe once, a vaccine is approved and that may happen 1st in the u.s., that's where pfizer is buying on tech are already seeking emergency use authorization for their backseat. today, modernity joined them to become the 2nd developer on the fast track to approval. and if all goes well, we're told that a day in december could be a day to remember. i'm burnt off in berlin. this is the day

the vaccine is expected to be highly effective at preventing symptomatic disease. and very effective at preventing severe outcomes from the disease. we believe that this data, these data are robust and should be clearly sufficient to enable the emergency use, authorization. in the u.s., we anticipate that the benefit of the spec scene is going to be quite significant. we really look to the ability to deploy this initially under emergency use authorization. also coming up iran's top nuclear weapons, scientists murdered tehran, says the weapon was made in israel. it was the u.s. involved. is the u.s. now a target for retaliation,

but they sink to proportionally act it was very difficult for you don't to kill a u.s. general so they would try it made me once and there's a way, but the timing once again is not the best. but to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all of our viewers around the world, welcome, we begin the day counting down the day is how long will it be until the 1st corona virus vaccine is approved for use on the public?, well, the answer will most likely come from the u.s., that is where developers of the 2 most promising bank scenes are seeking emergency use authorization. pfizer, and by on tech began their requests last week today. but berna joined them. if approval goes as expected, doctors in the u.s. could begin administering the 1st injections between december 11th and 21st,

we are told but both exits will require a high tech, low temp infrastructure for manufacturing all the way to delivery to the local doctor's office. so imagine keeping that axion colder than antarctic temperatures all through the last mile and through point of delivery. it's extremely, it's extremely challenging. we're all going to have to adapt in some way. and that neighbor require multiple chain storage or alternative methods of packaging and delivering. and it of action so that globally, you know, all of us will have access to one or more the vaccines for more. now i'm joined by dr. john campbell. he is an independent health analyst and he's generated a large following on social media for all questions. coronavirus pandemic, dr. campbell, it's good to see you again. i'd like for us to start with medan and take

a listen to what the company's chief medical officer said about safety and the vaccine trials in terms of significant safety concerns. serious threats to our health, we've not seen any such concerns to date. of course, we continue to monitor and we'll continue to monitor. so on the trial this monitor, this monitoring continues. now, dr. campbell, today the company said that the trials showed 94 percent effectiveness and 100 percent effectiveness against severe coded 19100 percent. i mean that's remarkable, isn't it? it is quite remarkable. i mean, this is based on a large study, this 30000 people involved 15000 got the vaccine 15000 in the placebo group. and in the experimental group that actually got the vaccine. there was an 11 people paid to convert 19 infection out of 196 infections all together. so that when people

infected who got the vaccine, then the placebo group, as far as we know, just got salty water, there was a 185 people actually got the infection. but of those 30 pacific 30 of those were severely ill enough to be hospitalized. and one of them died. so we've got this headline figure of 94 percent. now it may turn out to be that it may turn out to be less than not whatever it is. it's certainly good enough to use and it's a high efficacy the 100 percent comes from the fact that there was no severe cases who got the vaccine. and there was no deaths in the group that got the vaccine. all the survey cases and all the day, diseases in the to see group who were not getting the vaccine. that's where the 100 percent comes from. so it's, it's, yeah, it is 100 percent is fed to say, but of course as thousands and thousands of more people get the vaccine, then there could well be a few people who still get more to do, do it, and do it. don't get serious infections. we need more data on that, but so far as looking very good. we know that madonna has asked for emergency use

authorization in both the u.s. and the european union. and pfizer in biotech. they've only asked for that right now in the united states. does it? does it make a big difference where you're asking for this emergency use when it is emergency use that you're asking for permission for? well, as far as we know, the pfizer vaccine is going to be reviewed by the food and drug administration on the 10th of december and the maternal vaccine on the 17th of december. so they're frantically processing that data now to try and make these announcements. now if they grant emergency use, that means they're giving permission for clinicians to start injecting, not in people's arms. and that's a pretty big decision. i am expecting not to be positive, but of course that's their decision and they'll have to decide to do that. and it's much the same in the european medicines agency, and the british medicines agency will have to look at the data and make an adjudication. firstly, as they said, if and 2nd is it efficacious. now,

the evidence that is efficacious is pretty strong as work. just said that 94 percent and no patients getting severe disease who got vaccinated and the safety data from that image is also looking good. and i think that's the reason the results were probably published today. because by f.d.a. regulations in the united states, they have to wait for 2 months for a certain number of patients after they've had the 2nd dose of the vaccine to make sure they don't get serious adverse effects. and so far, mcdonough saying there are no serious adverse effects from this vaccine when we should always get minor things like a saw a soul saw injection site in the arm where it's injected, you know, feeling unwell for a period of time, but no serious side effects have been documented so far, i'm to see how this would be given to burgess, the approval actually. and we believe that people can start in the states, those doggo in this vaccine out with that after that. so i'm pretty confident people are going to be getting grants negative by the end of december. well,

let's talk about november, november. so more infections than any previous month in this pandemic. that's the bad news. there is some good news, i think in the u.k. it appears the cases in england have dropped about 30 percent in this recent lock down. i mean, this doesn't really just looking like about about 30 percent. it doesn't tell us, you know, though, about what is known as long cove. it which basically, you know, encoded it cover that doesn't go away quickly. what do we know exactly about this? yeah, there's 2 reasons this pandemic, he says. so significant one is the acute illness where people could overwhelm hospital services and the other is the long term side effects the long term called it. now there's probably going to be 2 groups of side effects and long term cooperative. when group will be patients that have some sort of post covered syndrome that gradually recover. but then again, it looks like 2 or 3 percent of patients are still really quite poorly after 3

months. so you know, for some patients this can be a pretty long hole through the pages they could actually be woken down makes such as inflammation of the hot or damaged the pancreas that could lead to diabetes. and that could lead to a long term burden of morbidity. these patients could be requiring help and care for some years or even potentially decades into the future. and the u.k. has about 60000 patients at the moment to go on this long to profit disease. and the health service are actually paying for much larger numbers, potentially for hundreds of thousands, of course to expand that are globally. and we could be talking about a long people with long term sequelae after this illness. that 1st date is not there yet. and in this, going to be some patients with long term consequences. we're just hoping it's going to be small. and this is also why, you know, you and i have talked many times about the risk to young people, even if a young person is asymptomatic or recovers very quickly from this. we don't know

what their health is going to look like 20 years from now because they had coded 19 today. i don't want to be a long list about this. i expect the vast majority of people to make a full recovery. and because they, as long as they have no organ damage and it's looking like the vast majority of patients don't have any organ or tissue damage, they can make a full recovery. but some patients are going to be more prone to this. we know that people with us more and more prone to this, from early data, increased body mass index has a risk. it's looking like women a slightly more risk than men. and in increasing age is also a factor. although increasing age is not such a big factor in as it is in the acute complications of the disease. so there are some risk factors that are known about the other thing that's interesting on this is people look at a lot of clinical features in the, in the 1st week of the illness, to get 5 or more clinical features. they're about 4 times more likely to develop long covered, so they are predictive models that are being worked on now and should be rolled out

pretty soon. but there's going to be some patients for sure. we just, we're just hoping it's going to be a small number. yeah, that's right. that's why it's so important to stay away from the virus. if you can have dr. john campbell, there thing as always article, we appreciate your time in your insights. thank you. thank you. thank you. we are at the end of november a month that has seen major developments to find a coronavirus vaccine and record a record setting figures on the stock markets. the 2 are linked with a major jump in stock prices happening with pfizer biotechs announcement that its potential vaccine had proved successful in trials in new york. the dow jones index set an all time record in november by breaking that 30000 level for the 1st time. but its share owners have been cheering employees, small business owners with their not so happy economies around the world have

slowed down, and unemployment figures shot up and they remain, which is also words. all right, my colleague rob wants from business is here. the big table with meat, so let's the stock does a lot to talk about year. how historic 1st of all has this month been for global stocks? it's hard to overstate what an incredible month it's been really. we've seen a 13 percent increase in the value of stocks globally blue chip stocks have put that in monetary terms that's effectively $155000000.00 being added to the value of global stocks every minute of november. it's an incredible figure one that really it's very difficult to get into your mind and it's across the board because we know that the dow jones has had a record breaking month ass and p. $500.00 has hit record highs, but also over in europe. stocks have been performing even better in the french

stock market is seeing rises of 20 percent italian up $25.00. and then over in japan, again, big rise as you know, the nikkei levels. it's not been at since the 1990 s. and that's because of 2 major things that have happened joined of them. we've seen increased announcements of stimulus packages from governments and central banks out also seeing this rapid progress towards this coronavirus fox. yeah, that's the good news. but, you know, we talk about a cave recovery from the pandemic for the global economy. investors. they love the way that their recovery is going. but the working class, the middle income class, they, they're not recovering. there's a lot of people are still without jobs. the united states, this was talk about them for a 2nd. we know the u.s. is still waiting on a stimulus package, a 2nd stimulus package that could be decided this week. if congress acts. what

happens though, if there is a 2nd stimulus, are we talking about work recession, world's biggest economy? it could happen this week that has probably the more people saying that it could not happen until, you know, we've got a new president in the united states because there's this deadlock over how large this stimulus package should be. you have the hero act, which was $2.00, trillion dollars 6 months ago. the democrats want something similar. the republicans say, oh, why we're talking about trillions had we really need that. and the thing is, this progress towards a vaccine is actually only in trenching. there is positions, particularly on behalf of the republicans because they're hoping that a vaccine will mean a resurgence in the economy. that means that, you know, multi-trillion dollar rescue package simply isn't necessary. now joe biden is saying, no, we're in for a dark winter in the united states and, you know, we do need a multi-trillion dollar package. he doesn't seem willing to wait for

a vaccine to decide either way. you know the dark winter, as you say, robots, as always, rob, thank you. but just as the corona virus can mean those symptoms for some people i.c.u. and death for others, its impact on the economy has also been very mixed. here in europe, spain is considered the e.u. member. hardest hit. but before the pandemic, spanish g.d.p. was growing at almost 3 percent, much better than its neighbors. but in the 1st 2 quarters of this year, when travel and tourism, the lifeblood of spain's sunshine, economy came to a standstill. the economy tanked putting the country into its worst recession in more than 80 years, and the poor you were, when the crisis began, the poorer your chances became of staying out of poverty. the seemingly

endless cues from food in the streets, working class district. oh, my gosh, some people have been wrecking this at this food bank attitude for his, but others are near. the pandemic has brought them here. some are too shamed. they hide from the camera, so others speak for them. they can give up their people here have been waiting to get minimum state subsidies for ages and that people who apply for furlough in march and still haven't been paid by one of europe's worst. coronavirus outbreaks of spain's economy has been left shattered. people know incomes migrants and casual workers have suffered the most. maria worked as a, had reza for the past 17 years. that was until the pandemic as she, her husband and their 5 children have hit rock bottom up almost. there's no not made of money before, but we always had food. never in our lives,

did we imagine we'd end up like this? you know, a lot of our movie i was entitle to ply for furlough payments that she has had to waste to long for the money to come through. is that a lot for me? i should think about the families who don't have food. please don't forget us that the system is at a standstill and house situation is very bad. i'm one month, one month. the government says it will extend the furlough scheme. it has rolled out a basic income program, but the process of getting benefits is highly bureaucratic and lengthy. and even with the money food to donations remain essential. demand is soaring. many people awful in through the cracks and have little to no financial aid. the spanish food bank federation's latest figures show just how many people now depend on their help . it was almost every made up on the 1st part of the pandemic. we had $1000000.00 beneficiaries the now we're looking at 1000000 890000. you know me,

don't you think the whole in the moment they will be out of the, in the military. their warehouse on the outskirts of madrid, supplies 70000 killers of food every day. that's mainly paid for by government and e.u. 8. these schemes have been extended and a recent can painful donations should ensure that the warehouse doesn't run out of store back at the church, rather than santa needs, more volunteers to pull the many trolleys and reduce waiting times. they go from empty to full within seconds before they get to the waiting hungry dave, i confess that on some days during the m.m.a. fans make it home because there are. but i was working at a speed of a person who had aged 40 years because of the years. but that doesn't stop him. one fool truly contains food supplies for a month, including treats that families cannot now afford over the town when the children see the cocoa are tracked and it's

a very happy was because i can only buy the essential some for one. not enough that i said to condemn it, has had spain's already battered economy hard. it's unlikely it will recover quickly enough. so people may have to rely on food handouts for some time to come. and many of iran's top religious political and military leaders joined for the funeral of the country's top nuclear sawyer. just a date believed to be the father of the islamic republic's military nuclear program . most in auk, resodding was assassinated last week in a hell of gunfire. and explosives, iran has blamed israel and an exiled iranian group. the government in tehran has said that it will seek revenge for far as it is death, in due time. the iran says it will not be provoked into

retaliating, but can the regime in tehran strike back on an equal level? analysts say it's very, very unlikely, but i think that iran is not the cup ability to proportionally act like this is the same up in wisconsin today. many killings was very difficult, so you don't to kill a u.s. general. and this time is very difficult for you don't to kill represent an israeli nuclear program. so it's very difficult to answer the same level. so they will try made me to answer and there's a way, but the timing once again is not the best time. and for more now, i'm joined by trip parsis, executive vice president of the quincy institute for responsible state craft. it's good to see you again try to i, i want to just throw this to you. iran says that the murder weapon,

or murder technology that was used was made in israel. so how realistic is a retaliation by iran against israel? how realistic is that at this point? well, as the previous analyst mentioned, the iranians most likely do not have the capacity. oh, being able to respond proportionately, meaning that they would target and he's raiding nuclear scientists inside of israel, for instance. the broader problem though, is that any retaliation by iran, proportionate or not, proportionate. iranian would have great difficulty doing something that would not escalate into a broader conflict. then it's quite clear that for the last 23 years, the iran has been very careful not to give the trumpet demonstration ordinance and yell government a pretext for a broader war. but it does not mean that they cannot retaliate in the erik's ways, and we've seen that in the house that the iranians have found acid metric ways of

exacting a price on israel when it does assassinate iranian scientists or conducts other types of attacks against iran. i'm wondering what this is estimation means for you as president elect joe biden's hopes of reviving the iran nuclear deal. it certainly is not helpful. and in fact, the consensus is increasingly that this is something that's and that's on yahoo government did precisely because it wanted to undermine its own, you know, biden's ability to be able to react to the nuclear deal and restart negotiations with iran. i think it's important for the viewers to keep in mind that at the end that a day that real worry that netanyahu has, is not that iran would have a pathway to nuclear weapon. it's an iran would have a pathway to washington, and that's what this is ass nation is aimed at preventing. and what about the role of israel in this? there has been talk over the weekend by some analysts saying that israel may be

forced this assassination in order to force the hand of the next president joe biden. a bit. how do you see that? now i believe certainly, i mean the israelis are trying to create as many obstacles as possible for by that instruction to be able to restart negotiations with iran. and we have seen in the past that assassinations of this kind tended to take place at sensitive moments where they're wise and likelihood of some form of the diplomatic breakthrough. they did not happen at moments in which an estimation of this kind would have really set back the nuclear program. and i think in other asked me that comes through all of this is that it's very unlikely that the trumpet mr. asian was not either giving a green light or some support for this, but netanyahu must also have calculated that biden does not have the political will to punish nathaniel who for some of the telling his prospects for diplomacy. that's a perception that the now seems to have only by the change at perception. you know,

it's interesting to the perception is key here. what about tehran? waiting out and holding its tongue and waiting until joe biden is the u.s. president. did it? do you think that the, the will, the force of will, is in tehran to wait until january 20th? it's going to be tremendously difficult because from their perspective they've already shown a tremendous amount of restraint in regards to other attacks that already have taken place in iraq. most likely conducted by the israelis. so you can definitely sense that there's an increased anger there in which the arguments of those who are arguing against restraint is that it's precisely because of iran's restraint that these attacks are continued. restraint has be gotten more assassinations. whereas if the iranians were to respond really harshly to this calculation, and israel would be changing. but the problem is that they do that then the region

would likely be at the brink of war. true the parsi with the quincy institute for responsible secret of credit. it's good to see you again. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you so much for having me. before we go, we want to bring you up to date on the men and women that u.s. president elect. joe biden is tapping for his new administration. women are, by far in the majority,, has nominated former federal reserve chair woman janet yellen to become u.s., treasury secretary, yellen will be the 1st woman to hold that posed if she's confirmed by the u.s. senate by says that is new economic team will help lift america out of its economic downturn, and in another 1st, the biden transition team announced the 1st all female white house senior

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

sports, a frightening crash leaves racing fans breathless. but formula one driver for months jawing escapes with his wife. look at this, he walked away from a great ball. well fine, i'm off. it's good to have you with us. still sembler is beginning with a race for an approved coronavirus vaccine. u.s. drug firm says it's applying for emergency approval of its coded 1000 back scene in both europe and the united states. now that could lead to distribution in the u.s. . as soon as the next few weeks, the filing sets up a product to be the 2nd vaccine likely to receive special authorization after one

developed by pfizer and by young tech finding effective vaccines is a crucial part of tackling the corona virus pandemic. with madonna filing for emergency approval of its vaccine on monday it could get the green light before christmas eve and the m.p.'s told us that our advisory meeting is likely to be on december 17th. it is high possible that between the 17 and christmas you know, the product is approved. if the u.s. food and drug administration gives the go ahead, inoculations could start within hours led by u.s. vaccination, logistics chief general, because stuff actually have to go to meet and those is a baby under a year. so as soon as we get approval or urge arcana and he's teams are going to get hold of a vaccine, we have and stuff shipping it in the conference is going to vaccinate americans within 24 hours on the pro or the company hopes its latest trial results. will lead

to speedy approval in other countries too. in trials of the vaccine with more than 30000 people, only 30 participants became seriously ill. all of them had been given placebo shots . this makes the vaccine 100 percent effective against severe cases of covert. 19 reported side effects include pain at the point of injection, chills and fever. these symptoms usually result within one or 2 days, you know, on a personal level. when we saw the 1st interim results, i think we were all really, really relieved and enthusiastic. i can tell you when i saw the final results last night, they came in a little bit earlier than that. we had planned for a lot myself to cry for the 1st hour. the company says it will keep monitoring to check for any further side affects. joining me now is younis not says he is with the european public

health alliance. he is a board member of the european medicines agency, e m a, which is dealing with his request for authorization here in europe. mr knox is good to have you on the program. we want to be clear, you're not speaking on behalf of e-bay, 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 it is 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 to look authorize these products and to provide these at 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 specific timelines when 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. may 4th for europe. doesn't it? these it tool assessments do not necessarily need to be aligned. i would say at

this stage we have on one hand the procurement procedures ongoing for the 1st pyramid of these potential fixings. but we should let me do their job. their job is something different than the procurement negotiations for sealing these contracts for these potential vaccines against all the banking. and let me ask you, mr. not just, you know, 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 it be made public as early as it is, or should that be something that waits for the but, 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. they were making clear that this is pretty canary data, which he's likely to change. therefore, i think and try and 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 that seat. and you hold trust in that in the handling of the public health emergency? yes. young, it's not zeus with the european public health alliance and a board member of the european medicines agency. e. m a. mr. not sweep your time and your insights tonight. thank you very much. are

going to have a look now. at other developments in the corona virus pandemic, turkey has further tightened its coronavirus measures announcing a curfew on weekdays in full walked over the weekend as 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 the new virus saying that would create boundaries to learning the truth. vietnam has reported its 1st locally transmitted case in 3 months, so the reserve introduced walk down in an effort to curb transmission and brazil'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 are now let's take

a look at other stories that are making headlines this hour. ethiopia's prime minister abi ahmed, on monday praised the government troops for their victory against the people's liberation front, the team p.l.f. in. but the rebel groups leader as insisted that they are still resisting government attacks. the war has killed thousands of people and sent thousands more into sudan as refugees. thousands of farmers have blocked roads into india's capital delhi to protest agricultural reforms. they say new laws to deregulate crop pricing will leave them at the mercy of big corporations. prime minister, narendra modi says, protestors are being misled by opposition parties and that deregulation will benefit them. german chancellor angela merkel has said some e.u. states are growing impatient as time runs out to reach a break to trade deal with the u.k.

key differences remain in several areas ahead of the december 31st deadline. merkel says an agreement is in everyone's interests, but she says it should not come at any price. more than 100 people have been killed in once. the un cause a massacre in nigeria's northern border state. eyewitnesses say 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 reports say the farm workers were attacked by armed insurgents on motorbikes. while they were harvesting rice. some were shot others that their throats cut did as 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. the huge amounts of harvested rice was set on fire are used as you well know. this is the most violent attack on civilians in bonus state this year. the region in northeastern nigeria has been gripped by a jihad, as the insurgency for a decade. both these lamaist 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 farmers and fishermen. and they choose 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
