1:03 am
if we're lucky if everything goes right, this could be available just in a, in a few weeks. help is on the way, but it's not your doc. we still have to be disciplined, chilled. we have reached china, a fascination that is appropriate to the ready, kate, this fight. also coming up on this world aids day. the virus which the pandemic almost made the world forget. but we've seen in at least a change the services is that early on we says and dipping in terms of the number of people getting tested, the number of people getting put time to treatment. and that can have effects over the long term of increased gas, increased new infections and to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and to our viewers all around the world. welcome, we begin the day at the beginning of our world long,
1:04 am
dark winter. today is december 1st, and while there is much talk about the 1st kobe, 1000 banks in nations being given in europe and the u.s. this month, it is a reality for a very tiny few. if and when a back seat is approved in administered this month, the 1st recipients will be front line health care workers and those living in nursing homes for the vast majority december and the start of 2021 will be spent much like october and november 2020. living with walk down restrictions to avoid catching the virus. german chancellor angela merkel and u.s. president elect joe biden have both predicted and into this pandemic sometime next year. and they have warned that many more may die along the way. and this puts pressure on regulators on both sides of the atlantic to promising vaccines are now up for approval. one from fives are in buying on tank and the 2nd from mcgurn.
1:05 am
finding effective vaccines is a crucial part of tackling the coronavirus pandemic. medan and pfizer biotech have now both applied for emergency approval. magana holds its vaccine, could get the green light by christmas. you end the year vs advisory meeting is likely to be on december 17th. if you hire people sebald at between the 17 and christmas to go, the product is approved. if the u.s. food and drug administration gives the go ahead, inoculations could start within hours of them led by u.s. vaccination, logistics chief general gustav panna. seems to me down those, he's a baby under a year. so as soon as we get approval or urge our count and he's teams are going to get hold of a vaccine we have. and so our shipping, in the contrary, 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
1:06 am
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 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 a lot myself to cry from the 1st or the company says it will keep monitoring to check for any further side effects or and for more going to chicago and bring in dr. robert murphy. he's executive director of the institute for global health at northwestern university's school of
1:07 am
medicine and murphy. it's good to have you on the program with there's a lot of excitement with these vaccines and we know that they will be approved. we're hoping they'll be approved soon. how quickly though, can people be vaccinated? well, there will be approved as early as the pfizer actually may be approved as early as december 10th. and they have stated publicly that they are ready to distribute immediately after that. they've located a storage facility which is very challenging for their vaccine because it has to be kept at minus $94.00 degrees fahrenheit. that's minus $7070.00 celsius. that storage facility is conveniently located right outside of the city of chicago. so for us, it'll be ok, but movie that iran is going to be a challenge and we need the vaccination is a great thing. but isn't the united states missing
1:08 am
a strategy in dealing with the coded 19 pandemic? i mean, when we talk about the development of a vaccine being a source of national pride, don't we talking about what has happened in the last 12 months with, with people not even where you face mask is that not a source of national shame? it's a disgrace. it's embarrassing, one of the wealthiest big countries in the world to completely mismanage this pandemic is it's, it's horrific. and we have the highest death rate, highest infection rate of any high income country. over 20 percent of all the world's cases, only 4 percent of the population. you know, this vaccine can't get here fast enough because we've done really such a terrible job in protecting the citizens of this country. terrible role model in the world. nobody should do the way that we are doing. on
1:09 am
the other hand, we also created operation warp speed, which is why we're sitting here talking about the vaccines that are coming out. so that's the, that's the, the good part of this whole thing. you know, 6 or 8 months ago, if you asked me or any of the other experts in the field or whatever country, every single one of them would have said you would never have a vaccine in 2020. and we're going to have to, you know, maybe even 3. yeah, it is. it's a marvel of medical science that we are living through right now. how quickly will an incoming biden administration be able to take this marvel of medicine and getting scoville $1000.00 strategy in place and running, including vaccinations. what little of the vaccination separate the biden people already have their own basic shadow government. they have their
1:10 am
own coded panel already selected. there are already making plans. i would think that those plans will be put into place on january 20th. it will start right then it's too late, but it's, it's, it's not, it is still going to help it. we're going to get on track here. you were quoted in the recent new york times article as saying that the centers for disease control will have to be rebuilt. what did you mean by that? and what we're wondering how bad of a state is the c.d.c.? i mean, we are, we thought we were talking about one of the world's leading infectious disease organizations. it had been, it had been, it's, it is no longer. it has been basically emaciated. it's been stripped of all its power and authority taken over by politicians and
1:11 am
incompetent leadership. starting at the beginning with the testing with the german government actually offered to sell us some p.c.r. testing that they had developed. and we turned it down all we can. we can do it and that was a huge mistake. the 1st batch that they made was, was didn't work that set them back among. and in that you know what happens with one month in this disease. we had $4000000.00 new cases in november alone here in the united states. yeah. total embarrassment. and weight c.d.c. has screwed up from the beginning there. unfortunately, you've got people. politicians got their hand in the policy making there in, controlling what is said. i mean, there are good people at the c.d.c., but the leadership is terrible. robert murphy with the institute for global health at northwestern university school of medicine, dr. murphy. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. be
1:12 am
optimistic about things are going to be really helpful there. i will try. thank you . well then when the european medicines agency gives its approval to a 19 vaccine at the european commission, must also give the vaccine the green light, a formality. and one expects that to take place at whitening speed. the president of the european commission says 5000000000 doses have already been secured for the european union. at the moment being the member states are working on the vaccination plans and on the logistics for them to try month of tens of millions of doses of vaccine. because just to say that it's not the vaccine that is important to vaccinations are important. so if everything goes well, the 1st european citizens, my 8 already be facts. before the end of december. there are some positive
1:13 am
thinking right there for you. let's take a story now to our brussels correspondent, barbara. they use a good evening to you, barbara, or so if underlie and said this week, something that we have heard a lot recently. it's not the vaccines that work. it's vaccinations that make vaccines work. is the european union prepared to bring those vaccinations once a vaccine is approved the big countries are because they have had about 6 months to prepare for the since the early summer. there was talk about scientists making big steps and having great progress towards a vaccine. so the governments could know that this was happening, and as you said earlier, the german government, for instance, has started to build the special effects in centers and they also install those ultra freezers. there are medical freezing units that can keep this somewhat difficult beyond take files of x.
1:14 am
in that needs to be kept in this extreme cold storage. and they say then then different the logistics from there to individual doctors. it all will have to be done within one way. so one day and people being vaccinate then on the front line is so they have been working at it. the french president has been talking about a huge national effort next spring to sort of bring the vaccine to the whole country is so many of the big countries are on the way to being well prepared. some will call in the military trying to get old the help they can. some of the eastern european countries where the health systems are already struggling, that they might have bigger problems and they might not be able to rustle up enough doctors and nurses and personnel to do this. but everybody who wanted help from brussels could have a job in the last month. there was no lack of goodwill and no like of money. just as you find when biotech,, they 1st applied for emergency use authorization in the u.s.,
1:15 am
not here in europe by on take as a german company. is there a perception that the regulators in the u.s. or maybe sastre, than in the e.u. that the regulators can act more decisively in a crisis? me, what are you hearing there? the regulators in the u.s. can act which ever way they want. if they just take the data from the producers, from the companies and say ok, we look at your tests and we simply decide to believe you, it can be done within 3 days, more or less. if they decide to do what the europeans do. and they say no, we appreciate soren above speed, then they will really look at all the rows of data. they will look at the results of the test, they will make chris across comparisons. they will sort of put their experts to sort of the check probabilities of those rows of data and so on. if this is a very difficult process. now the european regulator, the e m
1:16 am
a n amsterdam. they have already a panel off. i ranking experts on standby since may then who are now ready to sort of jump in was their scientists and their laboratories and say we're going to do the work. so they want to do it very well. and very sorry, because there is an aspect to this as well as in the united states, you find in europe, those conspiracy theorists and those decks, enterovirus, who are all too ready to jump on a product that might not be quite ready, might not be a 100 percent safe? yeah, i mean if the regulators, if they're, if they're quick, can the same be said about politicians in the e.u. . we know there's another e.u. summit scheduled for next week. we know that poland and hungary, they are threatening to block the passage of passage of the e.u. budget, which is worth trillions of euro's. i mean is there is that impasse going to be
1:17 am
broken next week? you can't but hope. i mean, this whole situation is truly hell on wheels. and the european union really sort of being beaten down and then sort of thrown, have plunged into the stronger crisis during this year. and now having to contend was those 2 smallish member states, sort of going against the grain going against the common interests in saying we're just pursuing what we want and what we think is right. nobody had expected this to that extent and it is a whole the mess diplomats say that next monday is the absolutely last day where the budget could sort of be processed within the normal regulations. and if no solution is to be found to tomorrow or maybe thursday, then the summit next week will have to make a decision. the only way out then would be to really decide that the corona recovery fund will be proposed and decided upon among the $25.00 member states who
1:18 am
wanted to leave hungary, poland, and maybe slovakia i want and they have to continue the budget on the basis of 2020 . but this is a messy situation, it's a situation that nobody in your needs and wanted and the political ill will that is being generated towards hungry in poland is enormous. this bill will have to be paid. $100.00 stays, or i tell you what it is barbara visual story force in brussels. barbara, thank you. covered 19 has dominated headlines this year, but it is not the only deadly pandemic. the h.i.v. virus, which causes aids. it continues to spread some 40 years since the epidemic was 1st declared. and the latest figures show that in 201938 1000000 people were living with hiv aids, nearly 700000 people have died from the virus. hiv is now
1:19 am
a manageable condition, much like diabetes in the last decade. the number of new infections. it's decreased along with the number of people who have died from me. that trend is expected to reverse this year because of the coded 19 pandemic and walk downs which are causing a shortage of hiv medication. more people dying in 2020 from not one, but 2 pandemic virus. so let's have efforts to develop a successful each of the vaccine. have they been put on the backburner because of code that we asked. hendricks street leading german epidemiologist actually about, you know, bringing attention to this age to be aids pandemic again, because indeed they have much concerns that the quote 19 pandemic ball pushed aside. i am sure it's an h.l.v. in aids prevention. now of course we don't know the impact yet at that age. hiv
1:20 am
aids had to cope with 9 of them happen in each of the 8. the estimates that when you have 6 months of lack of delivery of, and every provide a medication that you get up to 80 in a year. so which would push back almost a decade. so it doesn't seem to be as bad at, but we only know next year and the new 8 reports come out our there was a big street speaking with us earlier, eastern europe is the region with the world's fastest growing age. hiv epidemic that's according to u.n. . a, over the past decade, new infections in the region have risen by almost 30 percent. one country that is bucking that trend is ukraine, where improved testing in treatment is helping people live life to the fullest, the w's, nick connelly talked to 3 ukrainians about how h.i.v.
1:21 am
changed their lives. but i was given enough, had a lot of no's in my life because of my h.i.v. status without a doubt about it. i thought hiv was something that any effect to trust the cheats and drug addicts. and that if you were quite normal, nothing bad could happen. she wasn't what i think will 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. it was borger, but an organ was not necessary. going to cause my partner became seriously ill and the doctors didn't have a clue that i was one day the man i was dating,
1:22 am
decided to take 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 butterfly tattoo enough of keeping it secret. so i decided to tell my classmates at college. yes, i may try and 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 the one 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. 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,
1:23 am
and they just end up cutting themselves off from everything. i tried to show them that it's not the age or the status that's doing that to their lives. it's their fears that are the problem with it. there's no reason to give up which would be a picture we are presenting the biggest and darkest perspective on humanitarian aid in the area that we have ever set out. and that is a reflection of it. as that was the un core data for emergency relief. mark low cock warning that the global pandemic is taking a high humanitarian toll. at the start of this year, his agency thought 170000000 people would need assistance, food, shelter, protection. when 2021 rolls around in just a few weeks, that number will be 235000000. that's a 40 percent increase driven almost entirely by the coronavirus. and that hike in
1:24 am
human misery has a price tag $35000000000.00. that's around $30000000000.00 euros to tackle widespread hunger poverty and to support civilians caught up in conflict and there are many conflicts this past few weeks. the world has watched another crisis unfold in northern ethiopia. for nearly a month, federal troops have been fighting local forces in the region in a war that's killed hundreds if not thousands of people and forced many more to flee. and the government has declared victory over what it calls a rebellion. but it's unclear whether the fighting is truly over as well. that fighting has also displaced thousands of people into neighboring countries, such as sudan d.w. correspondent, mario mira traveled to the border region. she sent us this report they were
1:25 am
lacking. after crossing the border from ethiopia to sudan, laughable han and her family found refuge in this home. the nearby campus already overcrowded. there they would have had to sleep outside on the ground. and i thank the owner of this house so much because she doesn't know us. she doesn't know anything about us. but because we were neighbors across the border, she took us in more than 50 people. she and never forget the moment she realized she and her 9 children had to flee their hometown and to cry we cried. and our children cried with us when they wept in front of us. i think the shooting started while we were eating and we just had to leave. even the 6 families live here together, that is more than 50 people in one house,
1:26 am
among them, a tourist bar, he and her husband, when the fighting and to get eyes started, they tried to bring their children to safety. and when the shooting started, i gave my children to our neighbors who had a car to take them with them. since then she hasn't heard anything from them because of our communications blackout and to get i, she can't call the neighbors or people in her village. my children are always on my mind. whenever i close my eyes, i see them. the owner of the house studied abraham. it's not the 1st time that she, has welcomed refugees in her home. in the 1960 s., people who fled the war. these people came to us and those all, we don't have much money, but they are our neighbors. so we have to hurt them. many residents of this already poor region have again welcome to obtain refugees in their homes. some of us out
1:27 am
only others provide food and water. however, the influx of people here has resulted in instant price hikes. residents tell us vegetables, fruit means, and even water has become much more expensive. still they try to help as much as they can for it's the 2nd time that she had to flee her home. she doesn't want the same for her children. i hope my children will have a better life. we're not become like us. i wish they'd go to school study, do their jobs in stay away from politics. elizabeth farida, even i am, says her guests can stay as long as they need well, the day is almost on the conversation continues online, you'll find us on twitter. g.w. news. you can follow me of t.v. . we'll see you tomorrow about
