whereas astrazeneca started a little bit lower. but she, you know, study. we don't have any evidence that it's changing over time. the changes we saw were too small, the statistic research out we, we caught this hospitalization several ready to fill in our study. all the studies show the hospitalisation to so much. but the critical point is because it looks like you've got the same amount of virus, there's at least the same potential for that and 80 people to pulse or so what should the nation do when it has too many vaccine doses? one dutch doctor is fighting the government's plans to destroy them. 90000 unused astrazeneca doses that being stored by the countries regional health authorities. but demand for that vaccine is low only around one in 10 given out in the netherlands on astrazeneca, especially after early concerns about blood clots. the country's already fully vaccinated, more than 6 in 10 people. so the dose is set to be discarded according to local rules, but if it's correctly stored in a refrigerator between $2.00 and $8.00 degrees celsius, eac

that is the oxford astrazeneca vaccine.seven months, has the impact of that vaccine been what you expected? well, there has over that seven months been the most enormous impact. i mean, there's now a billion doses of the oxford vaccine which are out the door. and those vaccines are already having that impact. there's almost certainly now hundreds of thousands of lives that have been saved already this year from the vaccine. so the impact is enormous, and i think it's probably more than we could ever have hoped for, given the predictions from even a year ago about how long it would take to get to this point. but i do think that, despite that amazing success, that we're not overall in the vaccine programme anywhere like where we should be because of the distribution of vaccines being so inequitable over the course of the last seven—month period. so, that would be, in your book, a fundamentalfailing — what, of governments around the world? well, we are in a position today where 4.25 billion doses across all the developers are

the astrazeneca vaccine also had a slightly higher risk of lead clouds in veins.- risk of blood clots in veins, again, lower than the risk of if you caught covid. there was an increased risk of stroke with the pfizer jab, still 12 times lower than the risk of infection. they hop it will provide context to some headlines over the last few months. >> these vaccines appeared to be very, very safe. a small number of people to get these outcomes. these risks seem to be comparable of other vaccines, such as the flu vaccine. if you develop covid-19, the risks are just so much higher. >> nhs england says new data shows 100,000 lives have been saved by covid jabs so far, and it is still less than one year since the vaccination push started. nancy: more now on that news coming in from the world football, that manchester uted agreed with ideal with the italian club to re-sign cristiano ronaldo, subject to united reaching personal terms with their former star player. simon stone is in manchester following this major transfer. simon: it was a surprise compared to this morning

yet when you think about whether it has been a successful year for astrazeneca, probably most peopleation, and also the good it has been seen to be doing to public health, are incalculable. even though it hasn't done much for astrazeneca's bottom line, i doubt the shareholders will begrudge him his salary. the headlines on bbc news... desperate scenes at kabul airport — a little girl is handed over to an american solider by people fleeing the taliban. britian pledges to remain, as long as the us controls the airport. british troops are helping control the crowds and check people's documents. new research finds both the pfizer and the astrazeneca jabs are still offering good protection against the more transmissable delta variant of covid. while thousands of people try desperately to flee the taliban in afghanistan some afghans are beginning a new life across the uk. some of those who worked closely with our armed forces have already arrived. portsmouth has welcomed three families with another six on the way. tom hepworth from bbc south today has been speaking to 0mar, an interpreter

so we have 2. 1 is astrazeneca, similar to support 5, but it has a lower efficacy. and 5, but we don't have very much 5. so we're in the situation of are only about 20 percent of the people in the strike have been fully maximized. that 40 percent received one notes. and so we're fighting these outbreaks of the delta variance, particularly in sydney, sidney's in lockdown melbourne in lockdown. and that was not reporting as many cases, but were very cautious in australia. very, very cautious and australia, mr. tool because in some of the regions are, you know, i've seen reports of 20 new infections and they looked down the whole city. some people are saying, look, towns and australia at the end of the day are going to be seen as some sort of psychological experiment on the public mentor lockdown. so been extreme in australia. i lived through 6 so far in melbourne, but i think what was shown last year was that if you go in and look down very quickly as my strength, victoria has done, then the lockdown tend to be much shorter than if you slow to act as sidney has and no

it found protection from infection, with both the pfizer and astrazeneca vaccines, reduced slightly withinmost, the vaccines still seem to prevent severe disease. what this study tells us is that we have to keep an eye on the level of immunity and track it as time goes on, so that we can make a prediction, one month, three months, six months into the future, of when a booster might be required. and infections have been rising sharply in some parts of the uk. scotland, where schools have gone back, hit another record high today, well over 5,000 new cases, with more than a third among teenagers and children. experts are warning the new term is likely to be difficult. so i think we do need to be braced for a challenging period. exactly how high the numbers will be is very challenging to predict that. where i think we can be more confident is that levels of mortality are going to remain low, because we have study after study that still shows the vaccines are working. cornwall�*s rocketing rates of infection have been blamed in large part on a music and surfing festival. preparations are well u

out of 10 million cases of people taking the astrazeneca vaccine, blood clots were evident in about -ount. in covid, you get blood clots in over 12,000 people. really, the risk of blood clots -- there are so many other bad health impacts. it is so much higher from getting covid than getting a vaccine. that is now very clear. tom: an important update there from us. let's take a look at things we are watching out for today. the jackson hole symposium beginning with fed chair jerome powell and his remarks will be live-streamed at 3:00 p.m. u.k. time. bloomberg is there. we will interview a number of attendees and fed presidents. 1:30 p.m. u.k. time, we will have data from the u.s. including the fed's preferred inflation measure. we are going to get economic updates from canada including the raw materials price index. plenty more on the agenda. let's check in on the markets, a little under an hour away to the open of european markets. in asia, flat essentially across the regional index. the tech shares in terms of china, modest games there. 2/10 of 1%. s&p futures up 2/10 of 1% as well. t

two doses of astrazeneca is equivalent to one dose of j&j. we know from the uk it still prevents more than 90% of hospitalizations due to delta. so right now i think people are sitting tight. i think what zuckerberg san francisco general hospital is doing, it's not a bad idea. it's just giving people the option if they wanted to. but it's not that everybody has to rush out and get it. >> okay. so obviously there's a lot of dismay right now that we're all back to masking indoors, i think people are kind of stunned that we're kind of back to where we were before. there's a lot of fear moving forward. we're starting to see major contention in school meetings, you know, people, when they're out at stores, when they're out at gyms, the mind-set is very contentious right now, dr. peter. what do you say to allay that? >> well, i think it's understandable why people feel the way they are doing -- they're acting right now, which is really because everybody's anxious. people are anxious when we can't see the future ahead of us and i would tell everyone

and astrazeneca from 77% to 67% over four to five months.tantly, this is about preventing a covid infection. hospital figures suggest both vaccines have continued to protect against severe illness and many people. >> all of the evidence points to good, sustain protection against hospitalization at the moment. obviously we are having to watch that carefully during the current wave and seeing if there are signs that the people who receive the vaccine's earliest, the elderly, health care workers, are beginning to lose their protection against serious illness. reporter: public health england estimates nearly 85,000 deaths have been prevented as a result of the covid-19 vaccination program in england so far. however, the study's lead investigator said vaccine efficacy could drop to 50% by the winter, and boosters would be needed. >> is bringing to focus this need for some action. we cannot just sit by and see the protection slowly waning while cases are still high and chance of infection still high as well. reporter: theovernment has said there w

british volunteers will receive the treatment, designed by the same labs that created the 0xford—astrazenecaor, fergus walsh now reports on efforts to combat a disease which still kills protection from an ancient killer — a vaccine against plague. larissa is one of the first volunteers to receive it as part of a trial in oxford which will assess the vaccine's safety and whether it induces a good immune response. i am lucky enough to live in a time where vaccines are being developed, and so when i saw that there was a study in the developing of a vaccine against a disease that's been around for thousands of years and has killed millions of people... and, so, that's the reason i did. plague is caused by bacteria found in fleas and rodents and can be spread by humans whose lungs have been infected. the deadliest pandemic in history, the black death in the 14th century, killed around 15 million people, half of europe's population. plague is thankfully now rare and treatable with antibiotics, but an outbreak in madagascar in 2017 killed around 200 people, and there are cases each year in rural pa

the astrazeneca in secret papers released have defended themselves, saying that they were initially did the orders that initially came from the tiger will much lower than those that are now needed. but side by side was also a company which was a controversial choices, a vaccine producer. because it had no vaccine production experience. that said anyone here in thailand who criticize the process will tries to investigate it is finding themselves in quite a lot of trouble because it is a company which is ultimately owned by the king. and if you criticize the company, you in effect criticized the king. but i think we're seeing now the problem of putting such a vital vaccine production in the hands of a company that isn't very experienced because lots of people are being told not just here in bank. oh, but around the country that their appointments for vaccines are being postponed indefinitely. we have seen this happen in the last couple of weeks and more productions come up. we understand that the thai government is seeking vaccines from elsewhere. they've already signed deals with pfizer

the astrazeneca vaccine also had a slightly higher risk of blood clots in veins, but again, this wase was an increased risk of stroke, but this will still 12 times lower than the risks that came with infection. the researchers hope it will provide context to some of the headlines over the last few months. these vaccines appear to be very, very safe. a small number of people do get these outcomes, sadly. these risks seem to be comparable with other vaccines such as the flu vaccine. if you develop covid—19, the risks of these same outcomes from our data are just so much higher. nhs england says it has got new data showing that 100,000 lives have been saved by covid jab so far, and it's still less than a year since the vaccination push started. naomi grimley, bbc news. scotland has recorded a record number of daily covid cases as the number surged above 6,000 for the first time. in her daily briefing, the first minister nicola sturgeon said the sharp rise was a "cause for concern" — but the scottish government was not currently considering the introduction of a circuit breaker lockdown.

there's also a over the astrazeneca covishield vaccine and the european medicines agency are also reviewingted with astrazeneca it may not be as simple? it is the covishield. simon? me and many other people are lucky enough to have vaccines made by the serum institute of india, pulsing around our veins and i'm very happy with it, thank you very much, but due to what appears to be a bureaucratic mix—up the european medicines agency has not formally approved the so—called covishield vaccine for use, but i have got a very good nhs covid letter showing that i've got two vaccines which is astrazeneca and it doesn't mention the indian covishield one at all. but if you are an expert on batch numbers you can work it out. the only problem i have heard of it is very sadly some people being turned away from malta which for about 36 hours had a prohibition on this and i've been trying to contact the portuguese authorities and get an answer out of them all day since the story came about. i'm looking forward to going back to portugal and i'm pretty sure that this will get me in 0k. it is annoying but ple

the government says it'll received 61000000 astrazeneca shops later this year. just 9 percent of its population has been fully vaccinated. and scott, highly reports of bangkok volunteers and helping with the vaccine roll out. his saffron robe disappears beneath the white of his medical protection suit. as prom or ha prom punk prepares to head out. the buddhist monk, lead a volunteer team, organized by his bangkok temple to one of the many poor communities suffering from thailand's worst cove in 1900 outbreak. since the start of the pandemic book, why? but when it comes to taking care of patience and access to basic public health, this is something that should have been taken care of by the government. we all know the coven 19 situation entirely, and is very severe. not everyone has had their inoculations. many people have fallen through the cracks and have not received any help. his team administers wrap a test for those who can't afford them. 2 lines means positive in this crap household. 6 of the 12 people tested positive for cove at 19. but it's not just thos

british volunteers will receive the treatment, designed by the same labs that created the 0xford—astrazenecaon from an ancient killer — a vaccine against plague. larissa is one of the first volunteers to receive it as part of a trial in oxford which will assess the vaccine's safety and whether it induces a good immune response. i am lucky enough to live in a time where vaccines are being developed, and so when i saw that there was a study in the developing of a vaccine against a disease that's been around for thousands of years and has killed millions of people... and, so, that's the reason i did. plague is caused by bacteria found in fleas and rodents and can be spread by humans whose lungs have been infected. the deadliest pandemic in history, the black death in the 14th century, killed around 15 million people, half of europe's population. plague is thankfully now rare and treatable with antibiotics, but an outbreak in madagascar in 2017 killed around 200 people, and there are cases each year in rural parts of africa and the united states. current vaccines are only partially effective, so
