president, challenges are those credible story of bobby walking out of store to december to do w. . this is day to every news and these are our top stories. you're struck, firm with journalist to apply for emergency over is a should know if it's covert 19 vaccine in both europe and the united states. the company says dr. results show the drug is 94 percent effective with no serious safety concerns. it's a 2nd vaccine likely to get the go ahead in the u.s. this year. officials have upheld joe biden's election victory in the u.s. states of arizona and wisconsin. i don't want to arizona 510000 votes despite the

drunken pain, appealing against the result. separately in a key appointment biden has named a former federal reserve chief janet yellen assist choice for treasury secretary to thousands of farmers have blocked roads into india's capital. delhi to protest agricultural reflects, they say in utah is to do regulate crop pricing, will leave them at the mercy of big corporations. prime minister in the render modi says protesters are being misled by opposition parties, and that deregulation will benefit them. this is news from berlin, follow us on twitter and on instagram at state of the news, or visit our website dot com for order. 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. 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 this vaccine is going be quite significant. so we really look to the ability to deploy this initially under emergency use authorization. also coming up to iran's top nuclear weapon scientists murdered tehran, says the weapon was made in israel. was the us involved is the u.s. now a target for retaliation? but they seemed to proportionally act, it was very difficult for you don't to kill a u.s. general. so they would try made me once and there's a way, but i mean, once again, he's not the best one 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. fines are in by on tech, begin their requests last week today, with derna, joint 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 getting that x. 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 you have accidents and that globally, you know, all of us will have access to one or more of the vaccines. we're in 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 will 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 a level 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 percent, that 30 of those were severely ill enough to be hospitalized. i'm 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 by the 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 fair 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. who don't, can't do it and do it. don't get serious infections. we need more data on that, but so far 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 say, and 2nd is it efficacious. now the evidence that is efficacious is pretty strong, as we're just said, that 94 percent, and no patients getting severe disease who got vaccinated the safety data from that image to in his also looking good. and i think that's the reason there was also a public 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 done to saying there are no

serious adverse effects from this vaccine. when we 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 and solid to see how this would be given emergency approval actually. and we believe that people can start in the states, those doggone in this vaccine out with that after that. so i'm pretty confident people are going to be getting graps negative by the end of december. well, let's talk about november. november saw 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 is so, 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 coverage. we're 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 that come be a pretty long hole through the pages, they could actually be woken down mix such as inflammation of the hot or damage to 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. in the u.k. there's about 60000 patients at the moment to go this long to cover disease. and

the health service are actually paying for much larger numbers potentially for hundreds of thousands. of course you expand that out globally and we could be talking about a long people with long term sequelae after this illness that 1st day just not there yet. this is 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 19 today . i don't want to be alarmist 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 maybe more prone to this from early data,

increased body mass index is 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, it 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 gambling as always are, can 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 of slowdown and unemployment figures shot up in the remain, which is also words. all right, my colleague rob wants from b. to be busy at the big table with me. so let's the story does a lot to talk about here. 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 dollars being added to the value of global stocks. every minute of november is an incredible figure one that really it's very difficult to 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 saying rise as a 20 percent italian, a 25. and then over in japan. again, big rise as you know,, the nikkei levels. it's not been since the 1990 s., and that's because of 2 major things that have happened. join of them. we've seen increased announcements of stimulus packages from governments and central banks. i was also seen this rapid progress towards this carette a virus vaccine. yeah, that's the good news, but, you know, we talk about

a key 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 with, as 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 are we talking about trillions had we really need that?

and the thing is, this progress towards a vaccine is actually only in trenching. there is a position 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 the symptoms for some people, i see you in 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 album, poverty seemingly endless queues for food in madrid, working class district off by your cash. some people have been regulus at this food bank at a church for years, but others are near the been damaged has brought them here. some are too shamed. they hide from the camera, so others speak for them. they can give up that 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 hit by one of europe's worst coronavirus outbreak . suspends economy has been left, chanted. people know incomes migrants and casual workers have suffered the most. maria worked as i 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, nudie, i was entitled to ply for fellow payments, but she has had to wait too 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 on my own mark. 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 lindsay and even

with the money food, the 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. and with almost every made up on the 1st part of the pandemic, we had 1000000 beneficiaries. the now we're looking at 1000000 890000. the moment they will be out of the, in the military. their warehouse on the outskirts of madrid, supplies 70000, units of food every day. that's mainly paid for by government and e.u. aid. these schemes have been extended and a recent can painful donations should ensure that the web house doesn't run out of store back at the church, rather than santa needs, more volunteers to fill the many trolleys and reduce waiting times. they go from empty to full within seconds before they get to the waiting hungry.

i confess that on some days during that i'm damned if i thought i'd make it home because the stuff i was working at the speed of a person who had aged 40 years for the years. but that doesn't stop him. one fool truly contains food supplies for a month, including treats that. families cannot now afford oh, but it's only when the children see the cocoa or chocolates, they are very happy to have it. but after that, it was because i can only buy the essentials, but on the night i'm not there. i said the pandemic has hit 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 and was assassinated last week in a hell of gunfire and explosives. iran has blamed israel and an exiled iranian room . the government in tehran has said that it will seek revenge for far resodding 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 doesn't look up ability to and so proportionally act like this is the same up in wisconsin. surely, many killings was very difficult for. you don't to kill a u.s. general. and this time is very difficult for you don't represent an israeli nuclear

military program. so it's very difficult to answer the same liver. so they will try made me once 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 crafts. 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 or being able to respond proportionately, meaning that they would target. and he's really a 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 ministration ordinates and yell government a pretext for a broader war. but it does not mean that they cannot retaliate in, 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 are the 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 real worry that netanyahu has is not that iran would have a pathway to a nuclear weapon. it's in 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 strange 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

a diplomatic breakthrough. they did not happen at moments in which an assassination 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 trump administration 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 netanyahu for subatomic in 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 didn't 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 says 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 iraq's restraint that these attacks are continued. restraint has be god and morris asked the nations, whereas if the iranians were to respond really harshly to this calculation, and israel would be changing. but the problem is that if they do that, then the region would likely be at the brink of war. true, the parsi with the quincy institute for responsible stay christian for it. it's good to see you again. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you . and 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, white and his nominated,

former federal reserve chair woman janet yellen to become u.s. treasury secretary, yellen will be the 1st woman to hold that post if she's confirmed by the u.s. . senate biden says that his 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 communications staff in u.s. history. they include jen psaki as press secretary, she held a number of senior positions in the obama administration, including white house communications director, woman the day is almost over, the conversation continues online, you'll find us on twitter, wherever you find us watches. we'll see you tomorrow. kicked
