my wanda was killed along with her driver as she travelled to work in jalalabad she was also an activist who spoke out on women and children's rights it's the latest in a series of attacks targeting journalists activists and politicians. as a by john has staged a military parade to mark its recent victory over armenia and their conflict over the disputed nagorno-karabakh egypt turkish president richard diab are to one joint these celebrations after backing i said by john in the 6 week war turkish made hardware was credited with giving us a bridge on the upper hand in the offensive. authorities in barcelona say at least 3 people have died in a fire at an abandoned warehouse occupied by homeless migrants witnesses said more than 150 people may have been sleeping inside the building when the blaze broke out because of the fire is unclear and authorities are still struggling to identify the victims. european leaders have gathered in brussels in an attempt to

salvage the e.u. is 1.8 trillion euro budget all this includes hundreds of billions in coronavirus relief funds which the bloc cannot deploy until member states reach consensus the 2 day summit began with optimism poland and hungary which had blocked the budget looked welling to make a deal the 2 eastern european countries objected initially to a provision that would prevent them from accessing funding if they continue to defy e.u. democratic standards germany appears to have come to an agreement with them over how to proceed but that will still need to be approved by the rest of the member states are at let's get you the latest want to turn now to our correspondent in brussels georg much as great to see you why are the 2 sides still at odds. well the key thing here really is this rao over the rule of law mechanism and how tightly it should be connected to financial aid is that mainly when you look at all

of the e.u. goes to hungary and to poland exactly the 2 countries that have been violent lately in democratic freedoms now the german the compromise proposal if you want would bring in a legal declaration and that is they did piers is something that angry in poland can live with as well as the rest of the of the e.u. this would be is something that the european court of justice says this rule of law mechanism is legitimate and so leaders today were rather upbeat and said as long as the rule of law mechanism and this basic idea that it is linked to the money you only get money if you stick to the rules as long as that is not touched they can live without compromise proposal all right thank you for that stand by please we're going to continue our conversation in just a 2nd because there is a ton at stake at the e.u. summit where gay arc is because e.u. budget isn't the only issue being debated there a last ditch talks aimed at forging a post brags that trade deal have also faltered meaning that the european

commission is preparing for the possibility of a no deal the e.u. has published its contingency plan after britain's boris johnson and e.u. commission president or zawahiri line failed to reach an agreement a plan aims to prevent a cliff and scenario if negotiators cannot find consensus by the end of the breaks a transition period disagreements over fishing rights business competition rules and policing have been keeping the parties from reaching a deal. all right and joining me now is start again this rather in brussels and joining us as well as big and london with the perspective from the u.k. want to start with gay ark what did the use contingency plan say georg. well the heart of these contingency plans plans leyla is the idea that smooth air and dry road and rail travel continues to be guaranteed for the next 6 months you have to understand if the air if the u.k.

were to drop out with no deal at all that would also apply to the mutual recognition for instance of safety protocols of licenses of pilots for instance so any british pilot flying the airplane could no longer do that and that would mean that with no contingency plans in place basically airplanes would remain grounded trains couldn't run from the continent to the u.k. and so all of these contingency measures if the u.k. does the same and agrees to the same ought to be put in place of that at least for a 6 month we don't have these problems what they will not do is avoid the chaos that we're expecting anyways for instance regarding supply chains and border controls that are likely to come that sounds are very ominous carrier get how well prepared is the u.k. for a collapse in talks after having heard when carol just outlined. having a trade deal with the e.u. for the u.k. is definitely the worst case scenario most importantly about the terrace that

gallup has mentioned that it will be hitting u.k. exporters exposed to the european union but they will also be hitting people's pockets consumers' pockets we've had recently one of the u.k.'s biggest supermarket chains he has warned that u.k. consumers might face a much higher bill up to 5 percent higher for for their shopping and that's not everything then obviously we also know that the poor are going to be congested the borders are already congested we're seeing through the increased traffic 3 christmas already at the moment they're quite logged and actually they have problems already at the ports and that will continue and will most likely get worse when additional paperwork must be filled in from the says of january and garrick want to go back to i mean what does it say that you know following talks yesterday that didn't yield any results i mean does the e.u. now expect a no deal scenario there are so few days left. of the e.u.

has made clear all along that they do want to clinch a deal and that they are ready to make a compromise this but not at all costs and so yesterday given the situation we're in now just. on you the chief president go shaker has made clear that a no deal is now more likely than any sort of a bare bones trade deal that were possibly getting within the next day or not getting so today leaders at the summit were clear when they said for instance luxembourg's of prime minister battle said no deal is better than a bad deal they stick to their rules that they do not want to a deal at any cost here basically that's the message from brussels bigots and want to give you the final word i think give us a sense of the mood there in london where you are i mean how much pressure is there for the u.k. to make sure that they get a trade deal the people surrounding boris johnson in his own party his

cabinet and also many of the back benches that fall to him full breadth that they are quite combative and there is there room is that they have to do a lot of pressure on boris johnson this saying if you give in too much to brussels then you are toast when you come back and they really threatening him passionately and his leadership on the other hand of course we know that business leaders are desperate for a trade deal that desperate for a situation if you look at for example just the car industry there are almost a 1000000 jobs at stake and we could see that what experts warned if there is no deal the tears would be so high that we could see the extinction of the mass production of cars in the u.k. that would be a very very severe consequences and surely griping with this conscience at the moment thank you so much for breaking must reporting from london and garrick modest in brussels where the talks are taking place thank you both you're watching the

when you translate. the secrets to. sloths december 25th. up. you're watching news asia coming up today made in china vaccines have shipped to indonesia and soon to many other countries we take a look at how they stack up against the other vaccines developed in the west. plus we'll follow a young man who uses his own meager income to feed the even less fortunate in jakarta. and off the job and onto the pitch will catch up with these domestic workers in hong kong making their mark in the cricket world.

i'm melissa chan welcome to news asia we're glad you could join us indonesia received its 1st shipment of coated 1000 vaccines from china this week as the government prepares for a mass inoculation program the vaccine developed by sinopec biotech will be evaluated by the indonesian food and drug authority for emergency use indonesian clerics are also expected to issue a whole lot certification for the experimental drugs president djoko we don't know says these are only the 1st steps and more doses are on the way. you've got my stable we are also still working to get 1800000 doses of vaccine to arrive in early january of 2021. apart from getting the finished version of scenes we're also getting $15000000.00

doses of raw vaccine within this month. and later 30000000 doses in january that will be processed by the state owned pharmaceutical company b.-o. pharma. and indonesia isn't the only asian country looking at chinese vaccines rather than western options made by pfizer biotech where derna astra zeneca and others signed a back and china national biotech group recently announced approvals for late stage clinical tests in bangladesh and pakistan chinese companies have been mostly conducting tests overseas given so few covert cases in china itself. for more we're joined by dr jerome kim director general of the international vaccine institute in seoul their partners including the world health organization and the gates foundation among others dr kim there's been so much news about the pfizer bio and tech vaccine and astra zeneca one and then along comes the sign of

that vaccine and i feel like we haven't heard that much about this one what do we know is so we haven't heard in general about vaccines that are not you know western mainstream operation works but you know chinese vaccine developers including side of back side of farm and kansai know have vaccines that have advanced into advanced stage the street testing for safety and efficacy you know side of back is one of the companies if you look at its vaccine it generates what we call neutralizing antibody at a level lower than is seen for after seneca for instance or johnson and johnson. but it does generate the neutralizing antibody and it also has a study where there are vaccine protective monkeys against infections so you know from a hypothetical perspective you would say that this vaccine has a chance and it would be very interesting to see their data when they're announced i think it's supposed to be later this month so their data has not been announced

in the same way that for example the pfizer drugs information has been made available. yes and i think it may be something peculiar to the way the chinese system is set up because both side of back and sign a farm have results that have been submitted their their files have been submitted to the chinese regulatory authority the n.p.a. for approval and neither company has commented on their face 3 efficacies now we did hear about these 3 africa see for sign a farm from one of the sites conducting a trial in the u.a.e. yesterday 86 percent percent of farm but we don't have any other information about this so it was and senna farm itself has not commented so i think it may be something about the way the system is designed to handle efficacy data well i think we just saw shipments of the side of that vaccine to indonesia and while china has done a stellar job combating kovac that wasn't the case in the beginning and there wasn't much transparency when covered 1000 was still in

a state mysterious illness i think it's reasonable for a lot of people to wonder about its taxiing development efforts given general transparency issues stereotypes about corruption connected with the state what would you say to anyone worried about the sign of that that seem particularly indonesians who just saw the 1st shipment arrive in their country. you know i think that the we have to go with the data and and i guess we will have to trust the national regulatory authority in china of the n.p.a. to review the safety and efficacy data that way they would review any vaccine and we know that side of that and side of farm both have vaccines that are approved by the w.h.o. prequalification mechanism which allows those particular vaccines to be sold to us agencies for use around the world so both companies have experience with the u.n. based w.h.o. system for approvals and you know i think when they commit to providing vaccine to

kovacs which is the global vaccine allocation and distribution mechanism that 190 countries a signed onto for covert 19 they're committing to w 2 prequalification right i think that the going on and start in indonesia is actually they're planning to test if ective mistrials a number of different vaccines including cancer i know side of back and senate forms so indonesia is actually planning a rollout of those vaccines and very quickly here in south korea what vaccine is the government there buying actually the government here it was announced a few days ago is actually looking at a number of different vaccines so right now the only firm contract is actually zeneca but they've also indicated a desire to purchase from pfizer by antec from a derna and from johnson and johnson as well as getting their vaccine allocation from the kovacs myth mechanism so they're heading with a good a vaccine stuck to jerome ken thank you so much for your time. thank you.

append demick has hit all economies and around the world it's the poor who have borne the brunt of the financial pain in indonesia one man marzuki who doesn't make much himself has set an example for community service in this difficulty here. by day. he works a low paid job in an office cleaning and fetching the coffee but at night there's no rest he's out on the streets helping the homeless in jakarta. the coded 19 pandemic has been hard on the city's poor marzuki spends a quarter of his own meager income buying food to give to others.

because of a pandemic many people think only of themselves they're worried that their salary will be reduced were about losing their job. there are many people who have lost their jobs sharing food with others is my way of showing i'm thankful because i'm healthy and have a job and a salary. 2 years ago a story with his 1st paycheck and he started using it to cook food for the pool. now during the pandemic he works even harder preparing simple meals to feed people in need.

a long time ago when my parents were sick i went to a relative to borrow money. and he said but you were poor. how were you going to pay back that money and. it was then he decided to pay the good deed forward. together with a group of friends. prepares dozens of meal boxes every day. you know because. so happy that i'm not afraid of not having enough money or god has promised that when we share what we have he'll give us more. music he and his friends make sure to follow all pandemic precautions when they hand out their meals. lately they've seen an increase in donations as the word spreads about jakarta's good samaritans.

the world has come to know a lot about hong kong and its protest movement over the last 2 years so much so that many other stories from the territory have been overlooked for example that many of its upper and upper middle class families are served by migrant housekeepers mostly from the philippines and indonesia they work hard and have just sundays off here's a closer look at how some women are using their free day to team up. with. no one. well drilled and athletic they look like they could be a professional team before these filipino women crickets and all the rituals that go with it is a hobby for their rare day off on a sunday. it's a chance to one mind after a week cooking and cleaning for households in hong kong. it's very relaxing

to. the phone against the corona virus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and context around a virus update. on t.w. . every day counts for us and for our. viewers is on its way to bring you more on

conservation. week 6 screen. protector how to. france. good morning to environmental series a little sleep cause of. millions of people are at risk of hunger because of the kovac 19 pandemic even in the u.s. and europe more and more individuals are relying on handouts just to get by as the coronavirus crisis hits their lively. you have to come to these places or the my doses can eat is what saves me. give me a shout out to me while the disease doesn't discriminate the way it impacts disadvantaged people reveal society's inequalities. this

is day w.'s covert 19 special i'm joined on the pandemic has erased years of economic progress in many countries like in spain the country is in its worst recession in more than 80 years and that's weighing most heavily on its people seemingly endless cues from food in madrid working class district. some people have been regulus at this food bank at a church for him but others are near. the pandemic 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 . or that people who apply for furlough in march and still have been paid. by one of europe's worst coronavirus outbreaks spain's economy has been left chanted people know incomes migrants and casual workers have suffered the most

maria work 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 a lot about. a movie i was entitled to ply for furlough payments that she has had to waste to 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 one month one month 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 showed just how many people now depend on their help. it was almost every made up on the 1st part of the pandemic we had $1000000.00 beneficiaries. the now we're looking at 1000000 890000 you know me don't you think the hole in the bush the moment they will be out of the in the moment i mean. their warehouse on the outskirts of madrid supplies 70000 killers of food every day that's mainly paid for by government and e.u. 8 these schemes have been extended and a recent campaign for donations should ensure that the warehouse 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. they have i confess that on some days during that time then if i sold out must make it home because there were but i was working at

a speed of a person who had aged 40 years because of the years but that doesn't stop him. one fool cruelly contains food supplies for a month including treats that families cannot afford. over at all only when the children see the cocoa or truck and it's a very happy here i want to set up because i can only buy the essentials for one thing that i must never said. to condemn it 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. now as we saw in the report they are the car broken of virus pandemic has pushed many around the world into economic hardship now we want to look at the link between the coronavirus and social inequality. here to help shed light on that is nico dragon no he is a professor from the institute of medical sociology at heinrich heine

a university and a design dark welcome to you now your research has focused on how social phenomenon like poverty affect one on a biological level what has the coronavirus taught you about covert 19 and existing economic divides it shows us that. the current up and damaging castes social inequalities mentioned when we look at the epidemic launch good date we see that poor up people or poor countries oh poor area us says' a high of. intentions and we also performed some studies unsymmetrical disease and found that group people have a higher is to have a severe. cause of the disease when getting infected it so we

clearly see a social gradient in the girl not condemning so basically we're looking at a situation where if you're poor you're already more at risk for the virus and if you do get the virus you may face even more economic pain is there a health policy answer to that kind of vicious circle. so. that's hard to answer because this is a structural problem we see it has inequalities in the early disease restudy it so we see it in cut us killer diseases we see it in psychological disease and it's always there and we haven't found a proper response yet i guess it's quite important to notice that and saying strategically how can we handle this problem in the acute pandemic in the situation we are into now but we need

a long term strategy to reduce hats inequalities in all diseases in the long run but getting these long existing inequalities and society how much a strategic handling that you speak of how would that look like in practical terms . so i guess and the w.h.o. hats on ization gave us some good advice as there's a strategy called townson all policy is that means that the country should employ manned. ideas and strategies to improve pallets and all the policies and in particular to sing about how it's inequality is in discount text for instance when you look at educational policies are it text policies where the root of the inequalities lie you should consider that and you need

to implement this kind of sinking and this kind of strategy in all the policy years he's which shape does so sure determinants of habit so there are some ideas but we need to implement them. can you give us any examples of strategies that one can employ in order to integrate the social component in fighting the pandemic what 'd seems to be promising and in my view is to focus on area neighborhoods because you can. have the participation of the people who are mostly affected and you can change sayings for instance in germany we observed that you were being discussed ways to demick many structures which help poor people who were closest so.

they started to find your ways for instance online counseling or their worked was or was there they opened a certain facilities only for 4 children from disadvantaged families and i guess this focus on the area as neighborhoods and local communities. can be one chance to react quickly in the moment thank you very much nico gano there for us he is a professor from the institute of medical sociology at a university in design tosh thank you very much for your insights thank you. and now we come to that part of the show devoted to one of your sent in questions about the coronavirus our science correspondent derrick williams has an answer for you. after you receive a vaccination for kevin 19 can you still transmit the virus to us that's. the short

answer to this is that we still don't know at the moment but it's an issue that both drug developers and health care authorities have on their radar trials appear to have shown 90 percent or higher efficacy with at least 3 candidates so far that means that after tens of thousands of test subjects were given either the vaccine candid it or a placebo 9 out of 10 people who later caught coke at 19 were those who had been given the placebo and importantly at least with one candidate vaccinated subjects' who who subsequently caught the disease they only have mild symptoms that indicates that vaccines can have positive effects even if they don't prevent infection completely and that really touches on the crux of this question we somehow have the idea that it's all or nothing with vaccines i mean either they protect you or they

don't right well wrong it's actually better to think about it more like a sliding scale remember in trials around one in 10 people who contract that code 1000 later had actually received the vaccine and they might well have been infectious maybe others were as well and that's known to help powerful the immune responses and whether or not it can provide what doctors call sterilizing immunity which is whether the body can wipe out the virus before it really starts to replicate if a vaccine die. doesn't prevent the virus from replicating but just neutralizes or or mitigates the effects of the disease then at least some backs unaided people could in theory i'm still spread it how many and how often we don't know yet but

experts are hopeful we'll have a better idea in the next few months. now if you have a question for derek just send an e-mail to feedback taught english at the comments like expert in the subject line or leave a comment on our youtube channel thanks for watching.
