and let's get more now we're joined by political correspondent hans braun and i just like to begin by talking about the vaccine because i mean we've seen these images from the u.s. from the u.k. people already being administered these shots this is a vaccine from a german company what's the holdup here. well you have to see that in the other countries these vaccines are being used subject to an emergency approval by the relevant authorities a special case is the u.k. which is a european country but the is going its own way now and it also decided not to wait for the european medical agency and its approval germany has been sticking to the rio pune road emphasize that again today as we just heard and it is saying that we need to stick to the european way so that there is a maximum of confidence in the reliability and the safety of this vaccine so the german health minister feels that if the approval goes through the normal process even though it is an extremely speeded up process that will mean that more people will be prepared to have themselves vaccinated and that some very important

mike braun is here, indiana republican.t fair to say this stimulus, if it comes to pass, is looking iffy? >> listening to what we just heard, it's sad that in the biggest business in the world, the federal government here, that we don't do budgets anymore. we rely on continuing resolutions. so on covid, which we tried to pass since september and october would have been targeted, state like indiana, we basically got 5% unemployment, nearly full. we have come all that distance. a lot of places are getting close to where if it doesn't happen soon, they won't need it. the place, neil, has gotten to where we don't do anything on time. we don't make a move until you're forced to shut the government down or run out of time. that is basically the dynamic we're in. i do think that over the next few days in to next week something will come together. you mentioned all the moving parts. state and local government aid, the democrats say they have to have. they don't want to budge on limiting liability for schools, companies, nonprofits.
