bass's didn't have any news live from berlin and britain is hours from launching its coronavirus vaccination program the u.k. is the 1st country to roll out a vaccine developed by biotech fine and is hoping it'll mark the beginning of the end of the pandemic but he'll be 1st in line to get the shots also coming out with hopes for a break sit deal dying each chief has enough on the line invites british prime minister barak johnson to brussels for last ditch talks to end the deadlock. plus

we'll see how artists in will hand the scorning ground of covert 19 coming to terms with the city's darkest day. i'm rebecca riches welcome to the program in just a few hours the u.k. is due to begin its rollout of the world's 1st coronavirus immunizations using the new need newly developed by own tech finds a vaccine the 1st shot will come at one of a network of hospital hubs set up around the country and it's being dubbed the day in britain and it's hoped the vaccine will mark the beginning of the end in the war against the virus. this is a moment the whole world been waiting for the u.k. is the 1st to roll out the bio and tech pfizer 1000 vaccine it's a momentous moment for a population with. the highest death toll in europe and office

a window of hope for the future. very very sadly lost many residents of those care homes who died from kobe had been a hugely challenging and difficult year and all the time this promise and this hope of a vaccine has been so it's very exciting to the point where feels like that we might be able to make a really positive step or with the help of the box in. the u.k. health service is calling this the biggest immunization program in its history 1st in line for the vaccine will be people over 80 as well as care home staff and frontline health care workers but this rollout poses major logistical challenges this vaccine needs to be stored at around minus 70 degrees celsius and carefully meaning in england it will at 1st only be administered from 50 specific hospital hubs. for the majority of the public here vaccinations at sites like this hospital

a still a way off but her thirties in the u.k. the messaging surrounding the start of this rollout could not be more important after all approving the vaccine is one thing actually encouraging people to take it is quite another. as the 1st in the wall to water rise the vaccine the u.k. is dependent on public trust and enthusiasm isn't universal risk is what the long term effects break ranks i would take it. because it benefits outweigh the risks seems sensible thing to do and it's the only way we're going to get out of the pandemic i think is very very fast i was come out. i would say can. see. every few thank you for your truth on facebook uptake of the vaccine will be key to

success and authorities are being advised to find creative ways to address public concern and tackle misinformation there's some speculation the queen may even reveal she's had the vaccine to be confidence it is extremely important are these people get the vaccine so we need to find a way how to communicate it to them and how to in a way isolate them from these damaging examples of misinformation that they sing on social media and i think it is the role for the health providers it is a role for the community leaders to actually go out and try to explain to them what they seeing on social media is actually not always the truth. the eyes of the world are on the u.k. this week with governments came to see not just how it tackles the logistical challenges but how it sells this vaccine to a public being asked to keep pace with science. that's bringing data challenge pill he's standing by in london charlotte as we just heard in your report there

people over 80 and front line workers will be 1st in line for the vaccine how will the u.k. proceed with the program from there. good morning rebeca whoa what a moment north just for the u.k. book for the world this vaccination program gets under way 'd here this is a big moment of course for those who have been shielding those who've been isolating the businesses that have been suffering and for those of us who just want to go back it's a normal life but it has been stressed that this will be an american not just a sprint here in the u.k. despite the fact that this vaccine has been authorized what many might say is quite quick it was just 6 days ago in fact the dollar is ations came now the vaccine program is tossing there is a long way to go as you say there will be the over a.c.s. who are likely to receive who are receiving the 1st vaccinations. people who will

be people who already have appointments hospital as outpatients and then of course for those further the remaining vaccines that are available they'll go to. home workers and frontline. n.h.s. star that is the order in which this will happen most over a season though a likely to receive the vaccination early next year is more so says come in at this stage the u.k. has 800000 doses of the 5 a vaccine that's enough for 400000 people because it calls every person will need to jam 21 days apart so there is still a long way to go many of us won't be in line for the vaccine for some months to come. when it's unlikely that we could see life in the u.k. returning to some semblance of normality. well is it not just the question that everybody wants to know just not just in the u.k.

but around the world and the answer is probably not for some time yet the u.k. has just come out of a national english just came out of a national lockdown last month. rules will be relaxed over christmas as well for just a few days across the u.k. people will be allowed to meet up to 3 households enjoy also have something that many of us haven't done since march there are brief windows but will this vaccine actually be responsible for. relaxation of the rules probably not for some time yet in fact all the medical officials are giving statements on this vaccine the government says while stressing that this is not going to be the silver bullet if you like to solve this crisis everyone still has to remain extremely careful for some months to come. when all eyes will be on that rollout of the vaccine charlotte chill some pill in london thanks very much.

because years of race have laid the groundwork for speedy developments of a chronic virus vaccine studies show the 2 front runners developed by. around 95 percent effective but each has a very different handling requirements here's a closer look at the science behind the vaccines poised for rollout across the world. both beyond tech pfizer and honda are not use memory r.n.a. or an m.r.i. in a. it breaks down the genetic material of the already tiny virus and even tinier nano particles when injected those particles trick a person's immune system into thinking they have the virus creating antibodies if the person later gets the virus and the antibodies go to work on the person doesn't get sick. reported side effects with both are minor including fevers and muscle pain however it's not clear how long both

vaccines are effective both require 2 shots $28.00 days apart where the vaccines differ is in how complicated it is to store and distribute them those nanoparticles can be very sensitive the beyond tech pfizer vaccine must be stored at minus 70 degrees pfizer developed a specific kind of dry ice to keep it cold maintaining that cold temperature will be a major challenge and fires are as having difficulties acquiring enough raw material for large scale production the modern a vaccine on the other hand can be stored for up to a month at household refrigerator temperatures that makes it easier to transport and distribute why the 2 vaccines have different storage requirements is a mystery the companies are keeping their recipes secret beyond tech pfizer and moderna are just 2 of the many competing vaccines worldwide british pharmaceutical

company astra zeneca has its own and there are russian and chinese versions as well . meanwhile the world holds its breath hoping this is the beginning of the end of the pandemic and that milestone is still far off the hard hit new york city surging cases mount setting case counts rather prompted mayor bill de blasio to shut down public schools last month but he reversed course and ordered some pre-kindergarten and elementary schools reopened on monday blasio said the decision was darter based and followed a fierce debate over how to kate kids learning and safe. school buses are back in the big apple some 190000 children are returning to the classroom this week as long as their parents give their ok kids need to bring written consent allowing them to be given frequent coronavirus tests the plan is to

test 20 percent of students each week. city officials think this and other measures will keep the kids and their families safe despite the city's high infection rates really don't want to come to school because of. the pandemic or whatever so yeah this is going to just make the best situation like having a process to enter a school for everyone as a working parent it's very hard when my kids are not in school you know when he's not in school after work from home and he's home makes things very difficult you know i'd always err on the side of try to open school as much as possible but obviously you know considering all the safety and everything. the mayor bill de blasio had earlier announced that schools would remain closed if a threshold of 3 percent of positive coronavirus tests in the city is surpassed currently the rate is almost double that hovering above 5 percent. but the mayor

scrapped this benchmark citing new research showing that few transmissions appear to occur mung young children nonetheless reopening the nation's largest public school system in the midst of a sharp spike remains a gamble. the united states just saw the deadliest week of the kovac 19 pandemic since april with 15000 deaths and health officials are warning that worst weeks may lie ahead. without substantial mitigation the middle of january can be a really dark time for us. most other big city districts are sticking to online teaching for now but they're watching to see how this reopening goes to decide if they'll follow the risky path led by new york city. let's turn to some of the other stories making news around the world this hour farmers in india call for

time is running out to make a post breaks a trade deal reality and avoid cross-channel economic chaos there's still no sign of a breakthrough after another day of talks british prime minister barak's johnson is now set to travel to brussels to try to strike a last minute deal in person the european union's chief negotiator michel barnier however is down bait about the chances of an agreement saying k. sticking points remain. european leaders still locked in disagreement with the u.k. over the fatal terms of a trade deal held a high stakes call on monday to thrash out their positions. on the in a bed to unlock the jam e.u. commission president on the line spoke at length on the phone to yuki prime minister boris johnson but to no avail conditions were not there for an agreement they both said they plan to meet in passion in the coming days just a few sticking points have kept the sites from striking a deal one is the so-called level playing field that has rules governing business

competition. a 2nd sticking point is more visceral who gets the fish france has threatened to veto any agreement that doesn't grant e.u. fishing boats generous access to british waters the u.k. formally left the european union in january of this year but agreed to adhere to the blocks rules until a new deal could be forged after nearly a year of talks there's no deal and the deadline is less than 4 weeks away officials are gloomy and sore are many on the streets of london. it seems crazy i mean truth real single 16 we voted in 4 years later but are very very little progress at all to be honest with you somehow this what we do we bury that source you say feels like it's been buried in the public to know about this and what's going on it is buried among the down pandemic virus that needs to come up to the surface i'm not worried about it we need to get something so detailed if talks

failed the u.k. would be left without a trade deal this would cost both sites hundreds of thousands of jobs and destruct trade for years to come feel both have an interest in striking a deal we just don't have much time. to steal. and brussels bureau chief alexander phenomenon joins us now from brussels alexander the deadline is of course at the end of the month but no doubt everyone will want to wrap this up before the christmas holiday is there is still any chance of a deal. well we really have to say that the mood here in brussels is rather downbeat about the prospects of sealing a new trade deal with the u.k. and it seems that london is pessimistic as well both sides were saying yesterday that no real program has been progress has been made that there are significant differences remaining and there are still those 3 key issues we just heard about

then the question how to guarantee of further competition then mechanism that needs to be established so both sides can resolve their disputes in the future and of course the question of fishing rights home march a fisherman from the european union should have in the future to u.k. water as both sides cannot agree on those issues so now it's time for the voices so to speak for the law from the lion and boris johnson to speak and to try to break that that block and of course we know that they're going to be doing that in this way boris johnson travelling to brussels what can they hope to achieve in person that hasn't already been discussed so many times before. while what we're hearing for example from london right now is that now this is a question of political will to find a solution we know that boris johnson will be here in the next days we don't have

an exact date yes he could be here on wednesday on a thursday when all the leaders will be in town to gather for their regular summit but they actually don't want one to speak directly to boa's johnson they want funded lyon to negotiate on their behalf to you know show that there are united so we will see of this last ditch attempt will be successful yes we'll see data ryan alexander phenomena speaking to us from brussels thank you. opposition supporters in many are calling for the prime minister to step down over his handling of the conflict in the going on karabakh many armenians are angry about bailing does decision to sign a peace agreement which sees media returning a significant part of the disputed territory to azerbaijan thousands of azerbaijan is and now starting to move back to areas that had been under control. or to be
