head cold for scientific solutions and solidarity to combat the pandemic we might be tired of corbett 19 but it is not tired of us years it preys on laws and we grow held but it preys on our her weaknesses jule inequality division denounce we sure jean jean and we fully ignore those. well the us has reported 4 straight days of new coronavirus infection records on saturday more than 126000 cases and around 1000 deaths were reported at least 230000 people are known to have died with co with 1000 in the united states its total infection count is nearing 10000000. turkey has congratulated azerbaijan's president suzanne says forces have seized an important city in the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh is the 2nd biggest city in the region where there's a bunch on as fighting with armenia celebrations continued into the night in the as area capital baku its military says the fighting in the going to cover is intensifying but the armenians are telling a different story the spokesman for the armenian prime minister says their forces have been engaged in intensive combat in shusha or shashi

some time to review it 1st the head of the world health organization meanwhile is calling for scientific solutions and solidarity to end the pandemic this was a largely virtual meeting of the w h o's decision making body something does need to happen in the world is now more than 50000000 recorded covert 1000 cases and absolutely no signs of a slowdown we might be trying. but it's not. as. yes it preys on doors and we can helmets but it preys on her weaknesses to inequality division denounce we should jean king and willfully ignore us last hour we spoke to amir khan a u.k. national health service doctor in the city of leeds who explained to us how the vaccine would work. they've shared with us is that they looked at a sample size of 3 and a half 1000 people they gave hoffa from the back seat half of the coal placebo which is just nothing a total really and then they looked at the fist $94.00 cases all of corona virus and all them only 10 percent were the ones given the vaccine so that's why it's 90 percent effective so it is really really good they are very cautious in what they're saying the same

has called for scientific solutions and solidarity to combat the pandemic we might be tired of 19 but it's not a time of violence years each preys on those in we can be held by g.-d. preys on i hear that weakness is to inequality division demand we should yuki and willfully ignore. to other news and a new round of talks on libya is happening in tunisia as capital 75 libyan representatives from groups have been invited by the u.n. which is leading the discussion you may remember last month both sides announced a permanent ceasefire and that has largely held so these talks are a way to set up the groundwork for possible elections the president of to address the gathering saying peace in libya and the region relies on unity between all libyans. libya's unified nation some people talk of western and eastern libya but we tell them that libyans are one people this kind of rhetorical could lead to the division of libya's the tunisian people refuse this because they know that all libyans refuse it to us it's a danger on the region as a whole and as it could open the door to division in other

chief has called for scientific solutions and solidarity to combat the pandemic we might be tired of 19 but it is not dying of violence yes it's preys on in we go home. but it preys on we can assume inequality division denounce we sure do you clean and we believe annoyance. plenty more news coming up for you on the news are they claiming victory and meanwhile the ruling party which says it's won enough seats to form the next government. bolivia's the former leader evo morales heads home after a year in exile in argentina. swedish star striker areas slots on break him of it shows no signs of slowing down the reason he's told police he was going to sports a little later. we'll move to some other news the latest round of libyan peace talks 1st of all which is happening in neighboring tunisia yam of the political dialogue is for elections to take place as soon as possible. as more. the united nations has invited 75 delegates from libya chosen to represent an array of political viewpoints regional interests and social groups they've gathered here in tunis to find a way forward acting un e

review any potential vaccine the head of the world health organization's also been calling for scientific solutions and solidarity to end the pandemic that was what proved to be a largely virtual meeting of the w h o's decision making body something does really need to happen soon i mean the world is now more than 50000000 recorded cases and there is no sign of a slowdown we might be tired of 19 but it is not dying of us years preys on dorce in we can held by g.-d. preys on weaknesses to inequality division do you know we should yuki and we believe annoyance very pleased to welcome dr amy account of the news our hears with the u.k.'s n.h.s. the national health service and dr thank you for your time it sounds like great news 90 percent effective what can you actually make of that i mean this is coming from the drug makers so they will of course want to say it's as effective as it can possibly be. yes it is really welcome news 'd well what they've shared with us is that they looked at a sample size of course a 3 and a half 1000 people in a huff at the back seat half of the coal placebo which is just

the only real exit strategy from this pandemic was going to be a scientific solution and a vaccine ises for hundreds of yea rs infectious diseases for hundreds of years in the past. measles killed a lot of children before we got an effective measles vaccine, and polio is well into we got an effective polio vaccines and vaccinations are important in bringing down the death that infectious diseases bring. it isa that infectious diseases bring. it is a really exciting day, but i think there were reservations because this was released in a press release, so the scientific community is saying let us see the data and understand what is underneath it. are there concerns around safety? how along with immunity last? the first feeling is joy and peace are convening as let us get back to looking at details and figuring out how we assess the robustness of the press release and also looking at how you deploy the vaccine. half the battle is developing it and the other battle is rolling it out as pa rt other battle is rolling it out as part of the strategy of managing the crisis. really good to talk

scientific pride. there has been a disparagement to bring solutions to parent -- patients.hey are doing this to try to improve public health. we need to make sure that voice is included in the table. one of the things i would add long,t is that, for too the scientific world and the nonscientific world have not interacted in a wholesome way. one of the key things that scientists and the public, i say public in general, nonscientists, need to do is engage with each other more. for too long, science has been the ivorying in tower. i think we need that engagement in order to make sure that this is a public dialogue in which everybody can participate. >> i would like to add something that, there are lots of opportunities for scientists to get more involved in internships. several agencies in the federal .overnment as a whole i know that it is a struggle. they are transformative. it changed my course from research. involvedg much more with how to get back -- give back and include more science in the political realm. there are opportunity abounds. you have to want to do it. as a f

solution. we also know the prime minister's scientific advisors were arguing for a short lockdown too.tion. unitl this weekend — when he told us in fact a lockdown is the best plan. now this is certain to happen as the opposition labour party supports it — but its leader still went on the attack. at every stage the prime minister has been too slow. behind the curve. at every stage he has pushed away challenge, ignored advice, and put what he hoped would happen ahead of what he hoped would happen ahead of what is happening. at every stage, he has overpromise and under delivered. rejecting the advice of his own scientists for 40 days was a catastrophic failure of leadership and of judgement. the catastrophic failure of leadership and ofjudgement. the prime minster now needs to explain to the british people why he failed to act and to listen for so long. as we saw in the spring, delays have consequences in terms of the spread of the virus. professor andrew hayward is a member of the government's scientific advisory group — sage. he's one of those who advocated for an lockdown weeks ago. h

scientific pride. there has been a disparagement of scientists to bring solutions to patients. and it's important to understand that they are really doing this to try to improve public health. so we need to make sure that voice is included in the table. the public gets to see the hard work and the difficult path that it is to actually develop some soft these drugs and vaccines. >> one of the things i would add to that is that, for too long, the scientific world and the nonscientific world have not really interacted in a wholesome way. one of the key things that scientists and the public, i say public in general, nonscientists, need to do is engage with each other more. for too long, science has been seen as being in the ivory tower. think we need that engagement in order to make sure that this is a public dialogue in which everybody can participate. >> i would like to add something that, there are lots of opportunities for scientists to get more involved in internships. several agencies in the federal government as a whole. i know that it is a struggle. they are transformative.

covid-19 crisis is now providing scientific evidence that could help solve a completely different health problem. that threat is air pollution and one of the proposed solutions, electric cars. it's the environmental trade-off we make every day. the bay area's popular commuter corridors are also air pollution alleys but now a new study is pointing out the power of a clean solution. >> yes, we've been thinking about this as a model for the electric car. >> reporter: this professor and his team have spent nearly a decade building out a network of co2 sensors. they can measure carbon monoxide and other pollutants on a micro level. and early this year they had an historic opportunity as the bay area began the covid-19 shelter in place. >> we saw this incredible change that occurred, the amount of co2 released to the atmosphere in the bay area was 25% lower in that period than in the, just before the lockdown six weeks before. >> he says the purple peaks represent the daily spikes in co2 levels during the six-week runnup while the green areas show the drop during the shelter in place. he believes the rubber really meets the road in another set of images. they show

challenges, recognising that the tradition of multilateral diplomatic solutions does not work well so we are gathering people from scientifictions, and of course this year covid was featuring extremely high in all conversations, all projects, all agendas, and we have tried to move a few covid related... i don't know if you can still hear me. unfortunately i think we have lost the line which is a real shame because i was looking forward to asking him about the plans to develop an accelerator mechanism to ensure that a vaccine or vaccines when they become available are distributed fairly across the world. i am told we may have you back. i was just saying to viewers i was looking forward to asking you about the accelerator mechanism you are working on, a way of ensuring an equitable distribution of any vaccines around the world. what progress are you making on that? well, as you have said, it is about getting things done so what we have done in these two days is filler pocketed 500 million euros in order to facilitate the distribution of vaccines in poor countries. this is done by private foundations and by places like the uni

the best scientific brains from all around the world have been working together ona the world have been working together on a solutionher country of any size. we should be vary proud in this country of the pa rt be vary proud in this country of the part we have played to find a vaccine for all of humanity. there are now many promising vaccine candidates going through clinical trials and over the past few weeks we have seen encouraging results from phase three trials from moderna and pfizer/biontech, and from the phase two trials of the astrazeneca oxford vaccine. and today we have more positive news. pfizer/biontech announced this morning it has submitted for emergency use authorisation from the fda based on phase three data which shows the vaccine is 95% effective, with no serious safety concerns. here in the uk, the first step of authorising a vaccine is for the government formally to ask the independent regulator, the medicines and health ca re regulator, the medicines and health care products regulatory agency, to assess its suitability. the mh ra, which acts for the entire uk, is one of the world's most respecte
