well that we could start to be reunited ourselves with friends and family now moving on to what happens next well health care officials here have been very clear they stress that this is a marathon and not as friends although it has been very rapid the time between the authorization of this vaccine from the u.k. regulators last week and the rollout just 6 days later today the next phase will be a lot slower the 1st to be vaccinated will be those who have a hospital appointments or a hospital already who are over 80 they'll be vaccinated and hubs like the one just behind me which will be opened hubs like this up and down the country others will be 1st in line will be health care front line workers and care home workers as well then rolling into the new year you'll start to see over eighty's as the government here tries to roll out this vaccine outside of this hospital hubs and to the wider public those most vulnerable including care home residents as well now the whole

world is watching as we know how the u.k. is going to manage this logistically but also how it's going to win over hearts and minds to convince people to take this immunization because that of course is what that is how we are going to fight this virus now that we have this vaccine we've been talking to people on the streets please take a look at my report. this is a moment the whole world's been waiting for the u.k. is the 1st to roll out the bio tech finds a covert 1000 vaccine it's a momentous moment for a population with the highest death toll in europe and offers a window of hope for the future. very very sadly lost many residents of those care homes who died. in a hugely challenging and difficult year and all the time this promise and this hope of a back seat has been so it's very exciting to the point where people. like we might

be able to make a really positive step or with the help of. 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 move carefully meaning in england it will at 1st only be administered from 50 specific hospital hubs. but the majority of the public here vaccinations at sites like this hospital a still away all but for authorities 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

a long term effects thanks to i would take it. because the benefits outweigh the risks seems sensible thing to do and it's the only way we're going to add to the pandemic i think is very very fast i was come out. bar trust i would say. chance to see. andrew thank you thank you thank you truth on facebook uptake of the vaccine will be key to its success and also origins 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 are they saying and 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. so charlotte you know you touched on one of the big logistical challenges here is the fact that this vaccine has to be stored at minus 70 degrees celsius so how is the u.k. managing this. yes indeed it is not just about the storage temperature there are also some considerations when it comes to transporting this vaccine as we're all cumulating in the fact that it's very difficult to get the vaccine out there so the people that need it we've spoken to care home managers for example they say that residents are going to have to wait

simply because it's not feasible for the vaccine at this stage to go into care homes and likewise those who are most vulnerable can't come to these hospital hubs to receive the vaccine just yet although the government here says that is something that they are working on of course that is a consideration that the whole world 8 will have to look into as and when they consider approving this particular vaccine and you talked a bit about that battle for hearts and minds to convince people that this vaccine is safe so what is the u.k. government doing there. we're expecting a p.r. campaign in the next days and weeks as the vice the vaccine does become more widely available they are trying to encourage people as many people as possible to take vaccine they're also trying to fight a lot of the misinformation online some of which you heard in my report their concerns from the facts about this vaccine rolled out now among those expected to

take part in this p.r. campaign or number of older celebrities a lot of them very british t.v. so they're not particularly famous across the world so far but there is one family who you well know queen of england and her husband philip they speculated to may announce once they have taken the vaccine of course both of them over 90 they will be among the 1st in line that's expected to be used public confidence here is as everyone here and across the world looks to see what the uptake is of this vaccine but it isn't just about the facts because it isn't just about the fact that this vaccine is available it is also not about the message it's also about the messenger as we're told. every day we're getting that the government here is hoping to use to convince people to take it. reporting for us from london thank you. now with code 1000 cases soaring here in germany chancellor angela merkel is pushing for a decision on new tougher restrictions before the christmas holidays one of

germany's leading health institutions the drina says the government should consider a heart lockdown starting on the 24th of december this would include a ban on travel or gatherings until the 10th of january the advisory committee also says school holidays should be extended with no exceptions for the christmas holiday season and correspondent julia so delhi is following the latest on the story for us hi julia we should say that this is the german government's leading scientific advisory body that sending a very clear message here will politicians listen and so the is germany's academy of sciences it brings together a number of experts and academics from different fields from medicine to politics to economics and it advisors government institutions on and recommends what they think the appropriate action should be and. herself the german chancellor has said

that she follows the. recommendations as her source of information source that informs her decision making and it is a very well respected institution in germany and now there seems to be more calls among germany's state leaders and politicians for tougher restrictions maybe not as tough as what the d.n.i. is recommending but there seems to be some consensus building as to the importance now of further restrictions as the numbers here in germany are not going down so we know where the chancer stands but why have germany's regional leaders been reluctant to back her calls for tougher restrictions. well we have seen very different situations in the different states in germany in terms of how widespread the coronavirus is and how many deaths there have been we have seen states like very or berlin itself with very high numbers and on the other hand we've seen states in the north for example with very low cases well below the alarm

threshold and it has been hard to find an agreement. in terms of finding a nationwide approach a common nationwide approach when we see 6 different situations on the other hand of the economic concern is strong the 1st measures in the spring and partial lockdown now have taken a toll on the economy on businesses that have to shut so there is fear that a further harsh lockdown could be very problematic for the economy what the german public giulia we know that the holidays are approaching how do germans feel about the possibility of a stricter lockdown in recent polls we've seen that a slight majority of germans want to see restrictions loosened over christmas but almost 70 percent think it's inappropriate to loosen restrictions over the new year celebrations and in general a majority of germans approve of the current restrictions and about one in 5

germans think they don't go too far people i've spoken to here in berlin seem very aware that the situation is still serious that germany is not over this coronavirus wave and the fear that people gathering over christmas might keep the situation as it is or even make it worse. julia for delhi thank you. let's check in on some of the stories making news around the world farmers in india are staging a one day nationwide strike to protest the government's new market friendly agriculture laws tens of thousands of farmers have been camped on the outskirts of the capital delhi since the end of november demanding a repeal of the law us president elect joe biden will nominate retired general lloyd austin to be a secretary of defense according to a number of us media reports austin would be the 1st african-american to leave the pentagon after a 41 year army career austin is now on the board of raytheon one of america's

points remain. european leaders are 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 planned 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 blocked 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. seems crazy i mean through 3016 we voted in 4 years later i got a very definitive proof it's all to be honest with you somehow this what we do we bury that story you say feels like it's been buried in the public to know about this and what's going on it is buried among. virus that needs to come 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 just have an interest in striking a deal you just don't have much time. let's talk about break that negotiations now we have philip lambert's with us he's a member of the european parliament and also part of the parliament's u.k.

coordination of mr lambert's good to have you with us so we see that the latest round of negotiations haven't led to a breakthrough you spoke with the eaves chief negotiator michel barnier yesterday where do things stand how close are we are not to a deal. well you know we've been saying exactly the same things fall several months the fact is that the key gold you know treatment unsolved and if. somebody said by coming to brussels you will find. have your cake and eat it off or on the table he's going to be disappointed because this is not on offer so the british prime minister parson has said that he will travel to brussels you're saying that you're not hopeful that that will actually change anything well no i'm not hopeful because the problem is that the british prime minister has promised that the u.k. could have its cake and eat it and it's instead he's not on offer it was not be

able to come back to. that result and so he's bound to have to disappoint as opposed to how brics are 2 years or more realistically of his maturity but. that there's no way around this so ambiguity as to mutations what do you mean by that that the british prime minister wants to have his cake and eat it too i mean what exactly are you pointing to here that the british are trying to get these in these negotiations. very simple very simple having market access which is no strings attached the united kingdom would never accept to strike a trade deal with anyone else with hope for market access and surprise surprise european union is doing exactly the same thing you can access all or market but we want to be certain that all local producers will not be undercut by unfair products . produced with less stringent standards in terms of social standards hence our

mental standards and the like and so i mean market access comes with accepting a degree of alignment on the legislation if that is not acceptable for the u.k. well done that will be no market access mr lambert have to say don't some particularly hopeful of at the prospect of reaching a deal still how is it that after an entire year of negotiations we have gotten to this point well personally i've been. tortured i see not hopeful that there would be a deal up until months ago when the prime minister sacked dominique cummings is most dear close on to watch and also when at the last minute after having put an end to the negotiation when the british government climbed down the tree and reinstated them i felt well maybe after all they want a deal but since then there's been exactly 0 progress on the whole the shul's and

that again led me to believe that after all i was maybe writing the 1st place that he said they don't want to deal mr lambert's last question both economies the e.u. and also the british economy have been battered by the pandemic how worried are you about the economic fallout of failing to strike a deal. well. an outcome that you completely happy but then again just imagine what would be the outcome is actually as a result of a deal with the u.k. we would basically exposed her you economy to unfair competition by either british producers or producers from the rest of the world who would use the united kingdom as a bridge head into the single market we would destroy the single market and that economy is at least an order of magnitude bigger than the impact of a new direction we'll have to leave it there philip lambert's member of the european parliament thank you so much for joining us here in. sports now in the

knew they would be a top seed in world cup qualifying despite some poor results in the last 3 years they probably could not have dreamt of a better draw as they try to reach the 2022 showpiece in qatar unscathed rumania and iceland are their main photos in group j along with north macedonia armenia and tiny little. other groups look tricky. huge. in his 1st press conference since the 6 no humbling by spain last month germany coach you can love said he never fought of resigning and was raring to go for the world cup qualifiers even i still have motivation and i believe i never lost it there are always thoughts after a bad game but the next day the motivation is there again for the da in the wake of germany's shock group stage exit as holders at the 2018 world cup lurve decided to axe mainstays mats hummels thomas miller and jerome boa tank there is

a chance they could be recalled for the 2022 qualifiers starting in march but live said it was unlikely when you see here or if i see that the team needs this or that in order to be successful and we will of course do it at the moment i've said i see no reason to do that. coronavirus destruction means the world cup qualifiers will take place either side of the delayed european championship in june if you learn of survives in the job after the euros his side will need to finish top of the group to guarantee a spot in qatar in november 2022. a politician in argentina has proposed a new band with the image of legendary player the go into the banknote could look like this with mud on us face featured on the front and his most famous goal on the
