1000 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 kovac. 19 reported side effects include pain at the point of injection, chills and fever. these symptoms usually resolve 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 i love myself to cry for the 1st part. the company says it will keep monitoring to check for any further side effects. well, for more on this, let's bring in dr. john campbell. he's an independent health, an a-list, and joins us from colorado, in the u.k. . let's talk timeline here. what do you think both of us, both of these vaccines could be realistically granted approval?

well, it's looking like the f.d.a. in america is probably going to be making an announcement round about the 17th of december. and if that's the case, and if that's positive, then these vaccines are going to be shipped literally within hours, as we've just heard on that report. now in terms of the european situation, the europeans, magid medicines agency, typically this can take months or even up to a year to approve a new vaccine. so we really are in unprecedented territory here. and it's going to be remarkably interesting to see what sort of timelines they come up with. but i think we can rest assured that they will be working flat out on this. they'll be doing a lot of hard work on the files that are not important to member. it's a rolling program, so they have access to much more information than we have pfizer, midden it will be reporting to them on a daily basis with the latest information. we'll have all the latest information at their fingertips, but of course this is not pay reviewed yet, or we're going on so far the press releases. so we have the press releases in the

public domain. the information that the drug companies are going to be feeding directly to the regulator or thora to us, but we don't yet have a peer review. so i suspect the european agency will be reporting on this. i would estimate round about mate, said late december. so it is feasible that europeans could be getting injected potentially with both of these vaccines. so i'm going to some people, so i'm going to the people in 2020 that is quite conceivable. the main part of the rollout though is going to be in 2021. and this isn't going to make a huge difference to her immunity and the amount of restrictions that we have to live with realistically until about march. april may even even some a time. so mature, pretty major on the let me just interrupt you there. so march april may start out sort of the time when we can expect you and i can expect to get all shots. well, some people will be vaccinated in 2020, then they'll be 1st responders,

high risk people, health care providers. i would expect them to get vaccinated in january, february time, and that could well be complete by about the end of january. for you and me as ordinary members of the public is just a case of how quick this can be rolled out in the cold change need to be facilitated. so i would estimate that you would be a public going to be vaccinated, march april time, something like that. and it's going to make a difference to the way we live by some a time. so by the start of next summer, we're going to have the warmer weather, which is going to help. and then we're going to drive a significant number of people vaccinated this going to start making a big difference to this pandemic. and i'm hoping things are going to be pretty well back to normal by this time next year. that's the anticipation and the such large numbers of people involved. yes. so many people need vaccinated starting with the essential work because then the higher risk people and then the rest of the public and then herd immunity will progressively develop over 2021 as

a result of the vaccination program. ok, john, you talked about had immunity. we, we had a boom this week in germany. say they have just over half of germans. well, i actually willing to get this solved. what do you think about, what could you tell these people about the safety of this vaccine? well, the reason that the medellin to release their information yesterday was that was 2 months after the last people had their 2nd dose. so it's nice that 2 months a few requirement. so it's looking at the safe. what these regulators do is they look at the safety not immediately after the shot, but 2 months after the shot. so they can say it's safe to months after the shot. and bear in mind there's been $30000.00, people in this trial and 15000 have had the vaccine. so even though it's only 196 people have actually had the infection, we've got safety data now from 15000 people. and of course that is growing all the time. and this was one of the vaccine is rolled out once it is approved. now it's not going to stop will be ongoing monitoring all of this. now,

of course we can't say that people won't develop late side effects up to 3 months or 4 months or 5 months, but we know from previous vaccination that that is very unlikely. most of the side effects that are going to develop will be recognizable within that 2 months. so personally for me and my family, i'd be more than happy to have it once it's been officially recognized. can we say it's safe? well, no, we can't say it's safe to say it's overwhelmingly likely to be safe. yes, i believe we can. there's never guarantees in health care anything that you gave that has a death in effect is going to have a potential side effect. and of course, this is a new technology, these enviro vaccines messenger r.n.a. vaccines have never been used before. it's a brand new technology, but so far it's looking very clean. it's looking very efficient and it's looking very safe from all the data that we have. an r. and i feel confident the regulators are all for it, is that we'll move on this because it's a risk benefit analysis. we can go on living as we are now with these repeated waves of coronavirus, with the deaths, with the financial impairment with the lock down. you know,

the overall risks from the vaccine look like being much less than carrying on living as we are. so i think it's going to go for it. don, thank you very much, dr. john campbell, the health and others from united kingdom. with corona, virus, vaccines nearing approval, some of us might already be looking forward to traveling again. but before booking flights, here's something to consider. the new report from the european union's aviation agency has warned that the environmental impact of travel is even worse than previously acknowledged. our reporter joel daraya has been following this story for us. what we already knew that after all isn't good for the environment. for the c o . 2 emissions. what's next? well, this new report looked into the global warming effect of so-called, contrails condensation trails. the white clouds left behind aircraft as they fly, or now they contain a mixture of water vapor. so it's not huge and oxide and black carbon, we know that carbon dioxide is contributing to climate change global warming. but

what we didn't know before much about is the known c o 2 effect of the so-called condensation trails. and this report has found that they are in fact twice as harmful for the globe for global warming as the c o 2 itself that comes out the back of the planes. and when you combine these effects together, it turns out a flying is in fact 3 times as harmful in terms of global warming as has previously been acknowledged. so that is it. what exactly is it that makes these condensation trails were this, this carbon that there is admitted that? well, it turns out that the elevation at which planes fly means that they have a greater impact. these condensation trails trap infrared heat in the atmosphere and cause heat to build up. now this is actually long been known by scientists, but in this new report, a whole bunch of new data has been combined and it is the 1st time that it has officially been recognized by an official body. because this report comes from the european union's own aviation safety agency. now earlier i spoke to joe darden a,

she's from the green, ngo transport and environment. and she said, now that an official body has recognised the problem, they also need to come up with a solution. we can have a listen to what she had to say before taking a plan. consumers should think twice because these announce you terrific that have a much larger impact on global warming, that what we thought. but at the end of the day, it's really up to governments and regulators to ensure that the missions are properly regulated and that we don't come to a level of pollution similar to the ones we had before the pandemic. so any ways to reduce the effect that these emissions have on global warming is there anything plain engine makers can do? well, there are some technical solutions and these include flying planes at low altitudes rerouting planes to avoid cloud building up in certain areas and using cleaner fuels. but n.g.o.s say that it's time for governments to really get tough with the

airline industry because they get away with a lot they get, they don't pay any tax on jet fuel. they get free carbon emission permits and there are no financial penalties for these so-called non c o 2 emissions. other n.g.o.s suggest that we should also have a frequent flyer tax to discourage people from flying more. now i just want to end by saying to make sure that we make this very clear to our viewers. we're talking here about condensation trails. contrails. now that's very different from the concept of kempe trails, which is a conspiracy theory that alleges that these clouds contain some kind of mind altering substances. trails of paranoia, contrails a real and we now know that they are causing global warming, very important things in that. thank you very much for that covert 90 has dominated the headlines this year, but there is another pandemic that still affects and kills millions of people around the world. united nations figures show that 8000000 people were living with hiv, hiv aids. last year, nearly 700000 died as

a result of the hiv infection. but prevention and treatment measures are showing some promise. in the last decade, the number of new infections has decreased and so has the number of people whose death was caused directly by a. it's all fun as related to the immune deficiency syndrome. it experts predict that trend will reverse this year because of the cold with 19 pandemic and lockdowns causing a shortage of hiv medication. it's estimated there could be an additional 1400000 deaths caused by hiv. as a result of my spoke to stefan excell, he's the executive director of the charity one germany. i asked him if he's concerned that the fight against aids, hiv aids, is no longer a top priority. since the global focus right now is on the coronavirus pandemic. very word. your for the crown of endemic struggles to set back the years of painstaking progress and the fight against hiv aids. and we have also seen over the

last years that funding for the ace response hastert declined and their needs, i am, ence, calculates that. we need an additional $26000000000.00 us dollars to, for the extra sponsors. and of course now we also have immense funding needs for the corona of a cogent response. but what we, what we really must ensure must not happen is that we play off one pandemic against the other. both threatening, both are important and both need urgently to be funded as well if. but if we're looking at those 2 pandemics, there's a vaccination on the way the fork over it. and hiv has been around for nearly 40 years, and there's still no vaccination inside. why's that? well, 1st i think you cannot. you cannot compare to the viruses against each of us of

know there are, there are differences that make it different to develop at extreme. but it also, i think, shows what is fundamentally wrong. i think that is if you know, because there are, i would say so many more threatened by the koran of virus in rich countries. the resources that are court into resource and research and development to corunna, dexie much, much higher than we see being invested in a vaccine against hiv aids. so it actually shows what is possible and what would be possible because the right political will and the right funding behind it could be a lesson learned, i think for. 'd our fight against hiv. yes, we have the tools, we know what to do. we just need more political will. and as always, also more funding, you don't know a political will there of course. what is your or your key demands towards

policymakers? well, there are 3 things that i would ask policymakers to undertake 1st of all, as i said before, we do urgently need more funding for the a supposed bons funding has gone, gone down over the last 2 years. that needs to be reversed again. in a sas, we need an additional $26000000000.00 u.s. dollars for the east response in 2020 alone. so urgently, urgently need more funding 2nd, we must ensure that obviously makers prioritize those hit hardest and those most vulnerable men who have sex with men, drug users who injects trucks. but also that was also already set. a young women aids is still the number one killer of women under 50 world wyatt. so we need to ensure that we especially target those most vulnerable and 3rd. we need to ensure

that we unlock more sustainable funding and also strengthen health systems. we need also more domestic financing, so you know, budgets of countries hit hardest by that endemic into health, into health systems, but also, and the response to the next, a closer strategy. one here in germany. thank you very much for talking to us here on the w. news. thank you. eastern europe is the region with the world's fastest growing h.i.v.'s. pathetic. that's according to un aids. over the past decade, new infections in the region have risen by almost 30 percent. one country that's bucking that trend is ukraine, where improved testing and treatment is helping people live life to the full comolli talked to 3 ukrainians about how hiv changed their lives. have

had a lot of no's in my life because of my h.i.v. status. i thought hiv was something that only affected prostitutes and drug addicts and that if you were quite normal, nothing bad could happen. but i didn't go and i will never tell anyone about this. that was my 1st reaction to my age. have a positive test results. i've had a chinese since i was born. my dad died of aids when i was 7. a year later, my mum told me i had a child. as a kid, you don't get what everyone else is thinking that your life is over. that you're going to die. my mum told me i'd have to take pills and that was it. border surgeries were going to cost. my partner became seriously ill and the doctors didn't have a clue. one day, the man i was dating,

decided to tick off the condom without telling me a month or so. later i had tonsilitis and a rash. i just remember thinking, i know what this is. the professor attack enough of keeping it secret. so i decided to tell my classmates a college. yes, i may try to be positive. i ended up telling everyone, maybe i was just lucky, but the reactions were great, and i ended up going out with the prettiest girl in our group, which was what's in the 21st century age. doesn't have to be a game changer. if everyone has access to testing and treatment, this disease is manageable problem when you push who visited and i get messages from other people with hiv. thanking me for speaking out about my status, they'll tell you that they've had hiv for 10 years, but only their mothers know what. so many people are giving up on themselves and their lives. they're convinced that they'll never have a serious relationship or a decent job. and they just end up cutting themselves off from everything. i tried

to show them that it's not the age of the status that's doing that to their lives. it's their fears that are the problem with. there's no reason to give up. and after some of the stories making headlines around the world, officials in the united states have held joe biden's election victory in the states of arizona, wisconsin by one arizona 510000 votes, despite the trumka pain, appealing against the results. separately in a key appointment biden has named former federal reserve chief janet yellen as his choice for treasury secretary deforestation, and brazil's amazon rain forest has surged to its highest level in 12 years. that's according to official figures. the national research agency says destruction has risen sharply on the right wing populist president. this year alone, an area 7 times the size of london has been stripped back. k.

musk is now looking for employees. he's been onsite himself to hold interviews, going straight from the airport to the construction site. around 8000, jobs will need to be filled on tesla's website advertisements look tempting, but musk is not a fan of germany's powerful unions and rigid labor laws. what do you want? your surely gets. and he's been very clear that he does not want does not want a union like here in america. my hope is that the laws in germany are better or stronger and will allow for a better relationship between the unions and to keep tesla in check. but this is exactly what metal workers union eeg, a metallic is insisting on cooperation between company management and employees has a long tradition in germany. union official. bergen is skeptical about tesla's

attitude. and you don't highgate, he enjoys a lot of workers in germany. have a say in how the company is run, works councils are mandatory here. we have strong laws, protecting workers' rights and health. and we expect that american companies here in germany will respect and idiot to these rules that don't cost and crist is a businessman himself. and he's hoping tesla will become a customer of his he's also the president of the local chamber of commerce. chris says the wages tesla is offering are about average for the car industry. but there's still a lot for the region likely use these wages to poach workers from existing companies. probably seem tempting to people, but they should be aware. the factory will be running at all hours 7 days a week, and that's not the case at other companies. up to $500000.00 cars could be rolling off the assembly line here every year. that's a demanding pace of production for the factory. and unions warn,

for its employees. robots are really taking over the world just as an example. even the cameras here in this studio operated by cameramen any more than the good old days, are robotic. and i wonder how long i will have a job. but in japan, engineers have gone quite big on robots, quite literally big. they've been building 18 meter tall robot and put it through its paces. the creation is a spinoff from a popular 970 s. anime series called mobile suit. gundam featuring enormous battle robots pilot has by humans. now guns is the main attraction at a theme park in yokohama, due to open later this month, we sent a human we trust to have a closer look rowboats, a big in japan, and this one is larger than life. come down stands at just over 18 meters tall

and weighs 25 tons of mortar. on this book, i've been a fan since i was, a schoolboy. in the 1980 s., the models were so popular, they were always sold out. i used to queue up to get one for the summer season that i could pick up. you don't count and was born in 1989 as a children's toy. this is a middle you call. it spawned a whole science fiction universe, a hugely popular, and i'm a series of movies, manga has, and video games that have grossed more than $20000000000.00. now the whole world can see how much we japanese love, and they make games and manga. so maybe we have a primal desire to create something gigantic. it used to be bird, and now it's can damn. condom is an icon in japan. so much say that the organizers
