And more promising news in the fight against covert nineteens, the drug maker, astra zeneca says the vaccine its developed with Oxford University is up to 90 percent effective. And that its cheap to make it easy to store and publish only us welcome to the program. Chinas space agency launched its Ambitious Mission to the moon to bring rock samples back to earth. Chang, who 5, named for a chinese goddess of the moon, took off successfully from the space center on chinas Southern Island. Its the, 1st mission by any nation to retrieve lunar samples. Since 2970 s. , the probe is expected to bring back 2 kilos of rocks and soil to help scientists learn more about earths nearest neighbor, including how it was for arms. And the mission also showcases the advances that china has made in Space Exploration technology. This spacecraft has towered above the Southern Island province of hina and 5 days a symbol of chinas technological prowess. And its military might a source of pride for many chinese. This is chinas message to the world to its chinas global signature with a new year. But if your child, no, i think by being able to launch such a moon exploration, china is making history to china. 5 rocket is comprised of several components. One is the lander, which will dig for rocks and soil. These materials will then be transferred into the return capsule for the journey back to earth. Weve all are currently in a program consists of 3 phases, overseeing landing and returning the chuang. A 5 will carry out the 3rd phase, bringing moon samples back to earth. We hope this will be a success. We hope your logic, your hope. If it is a success, it would be the 1st time in 4 decades. That material has been brought back from the moon. Chinas space ambitions are no secret and have been growing for years. In 2003, it secured a major breakthrough when it became the 3rd country in the world to send a man into space 10 years later trying to hit another milestone successfully landing and unpiloted spacecraft on the moon. It was the 1st soft landing since the soviet Union Success in 1976. More chinese cheers in january 2019 in global 1st alluna probe, touching down on the far side of the moon, boosting chinas space ambitions. Mas is also in its sights. This year, beijing launched an unmanned probe to the planet. In july, it put the final satellite into orbit for its chinese navigation system. The countrys rival to us and key p. S. But this Lunar Mission to bring back material from the moon is one of chinas may stamp issues to date and one which beijing is determined to be another success. While to talk some more about this, were joined by keith cowing. Hes a blogger on the founder of the website, nasa watch, as well as a Rocket Scientist. Hi, i am what i want to start with. What is china hoping to achieve with this mission . Well, what theyre going to be doing is the next in a series of very important robotic studies of the mood. And you know, back in the sixtys, we said people who do this, well, its been many decades since anything is really believed in the moon. In order to bring something back. So its very important that regard. Its also landing in the unique area of the moon that in his head, volcanic activity. So way leading into drilling 2 meters, johnny grabbing 2 kilograms of rock will be able to understand how long the moon had them all to the interior. It still does how much locating activity they had will to make millet fuel would be like. So these are very important questions that we dont quite understand. So this is the latest and its a very important issues series of missions to explore the affairs of missions of dave that is if successful, the mission would make china only the 3rd country to have retrieved the lunar samples and about joining again. Ited states under former soviet union that where is chinas role in space, exploration aspects, exploration had to well, its pretty much looking to repeat what the americans did with the russians tried to do, which is an intellectually humans on the moon. And if you look at the illustrations for the things theyve waited on the moon, if you look at the designs for the lunar landers, the lunar leaders are just a little bit bigger, but they look the same. So they have a clear path and they stand their intention of doing to do that. But they also are looking to become a full partner in scientific exploration room again, which is what this mission ducks that there seems to be an increased interest in the moon as of late. Why is that exactly . Well, you know, i grew up during the original moon race when it was between us and the soviets. And back then there were only 2 countries that could even attempt to explore. Now, not only committee countries do this, but private companies owned by a very rich people can do this. So weve now seen missions that have successfully gone to move from india and china from japan. And weve had the israeli strike. And weve got some companies now a lot of musts looking to wind, his own space ship on the moon and his own expense. So you take this all together. Its sort of like, well now anybody can go to the moon. And if you remember, maybe you dont, there was a song back in the sixtys called, everyones going to the moon. Now seems to be exactly whats going on these days. Everyones going to the moon, keith cowing a at Rocket Scientist and the founder of the web site. Nasa watch, thanks for joining us. But you well, here are the other stories making headlines. This hour. 3 prominent hong kong activists have been detained after pleading guilty to charges of organizing an all surprised protest. Last year, joshua wang ivan lama, and chad. All expect to be given prison terms on kongs Democracy Movement has folded since beijing imposed a sweeping National Security law. Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has refused to confirm or deny media reports that he made a clandestine visit to saudi arabia for a meeting with crown Prince Mohammed bin. The alleged visit would mark the 1st known encounter between senior israeli and saudi officials. Saudi arabia has denied the claims. Now u. S. President elect joe biden has announced 6 choices for top positions in his administration. Most of bidens cabinet picks also served under the obama administration. Foreign policy veterans, former secretary of state john kerry, is poised to become climate change. Envoy and biden will nominate his longtime adviser. Tony blinken for the position of secretary of state. The president elect is forging ahead with the creation of his government despite dont trumps persistent refusal to concede defeat. Well for more on this, so im joined by d. W. Correspondent stefan seem uncertain. Simons in washington. Hi, stefan. Joe biden has started naming his top team. Now. What more can you tell us about them . Yeah. Param be aiming for a lot of diversity, a lot of people with solid backgrounds and experience in what theyre doing means career diplomats career. Finance experts, korea, this korea that, that is something joe biden seems to be very keen on a few names as you of course know. Anthony blinken, a next secretary, secretary of state, foreign minister here in the united states. A guy, a person with tremendous experience to be secretary of state in the obama administration, as well as National Security adviser in the obama administration. So in every Foreign Ministry around the world. d and to the blanket rings a bell, so who is around knows them. So that means also that biden, and this is what hes trying to do with all his nominations today. Few of them historic is that he wants to really portray that hes about to when it comes to Foreign Policy repair. These scorched earth, which in his mind, donald trump left behind. But this also goes into other areas, for example, general gel and of course historic pick for as treasury secretary never been to a woman before. As treasury secretary its well now the d. H. S. S. Chief, the next year as chief of Mexican American heritage. So this is contradicts what trump did stood for with the d. H. As for example, i could go on and on and on. So again, joe biden nominating a expert team and this is what he had announced. And hes following through with this. Moving on briefly, dont trump has been distancing himself from one of the lawyers on his legal team. Tell us more about mr. Trump finally pressured from all sides. A lot of republicans calling him, being shocked of what mr. Sidney powell said over the weekend city hall was one of 3 lawyers called the elite Strike Force Team by the all trumped Rudy Giuliani is in a poll and jenny ellis and she made some outlandish comments and offered some, some outlandish, really i would dont want to go into details of this claims of fraud. Venezuela involved hugo chavez. Being here, the one who is pulling the strings, sugar stars as we all know, dead since 2013, so outlandish stuff. And to put it all in context in about 2 weeks or so, nobody will talk about mrs. Powell and her lawyer and any more. Stephens, simons d. W. Correspondent in washington, thank you for that update. Well, there are more encouraging signs in the race to develop a coronavirus vaccine. Drug maker, astra zeneca and Oxford University have announced their vaccine is a to 90 percent effective in preventing covert 19. Now the vaccine was more effective when patients were given a half dose followed by a full dose one month later. And crucially, this new vaccine does not require extreme cold storage and is relatively cheap and easy to mass produce. These files hold a promising formula for ending the covert, 900 pandemic globally. A cheap, effective, easy to distribute that scene. We have to get a lot of people back from a tube. Were not thinking about, but its a nations working in terms of one person at a time. We have to think about vaccinating communities, populations, reducing transmission within those populations, so that we really get on top of this pandemic. And thats what it now looks like. Were going to have the ability to contribute here in a really big way. The vaccine was developed at the ukase university of oxford using the i dont know, virus platform. Researchers took a common cold virus that infects chimpanzees, genetically engineering it to trick the human body into thinking it has been infected with the virus that causes that 19 producing an immune response. , over 24000. 00 volunteers took part in the Clinical Trials in the u. K. , brazil, and south africa. The late stage trials show the a done a viral vaccine is better at preventing hospitalizations and severe cases of covert 19 m. R. In a vaccines developed by modernity. And pfizer, by on tech, but people are not getting sick with the spike scene, which means that ultimately, even if you were to get ill, you have maal symptoms. And so i think thats incredibly important because itll keep hospital beds free and people wont be dying from this in this virus. And thats not the only advantage. Unlike the m. R. In a vaccines, it can be kept at normal, frigid temperatures, making it easier to distribute, especially in developing countries. It can also be manufactured at scale, meaning it can be produced in much greater quantities and at much lower cost than its rivals. But i think this will be a truly global for in terms of its deploy ability and its accessibility. And its going to be probably more affordable than most others for the lincoln countries. Astra zeneca has pledged it wont make a profit from the vaccine during the pandemic. If it gets regulatory approval, the firm says its ready to produce 3000000000 doses next year. Well, this is the top story were following for you. China has launched an unmanned flight to the moon, to retrieve rocks from the lunar surface. Its the 1st such mission and more than 4 decades. And scientists are hoping that those rocks can help shed more light on top of the moon. Was full and watching ditto good news live from berlin. Next d. W. News africa will be back soon. Take care. Nicole pietz in germany to learn german, published in the why not learn with him . D, w z e learning course . Because fake whats the secret behind this classic music . The sound you hear, beethoven lose your mind or the story behind the music. For the ages, richest up beethovens 9th or the world starts to simmer down on t. W. This is state of being is africa on the program today, a warning to a guy and civilians to save themselves. If you know his military has given leaders in the northern region, all to cry a 72 hour summation of just a random threatening an all out assault if they tell it to brians one fact. So whats likely to happen . Come when state acts, the people who remain unaccounted for weeks after nationwide Police Brutality protests in nigeria. Hello, im christine. Its good to have your company was off to being handed a 72 hour deadline to saranda leaders of the gripe Peoples Liberation front showed no signs of giving in at the weekend. Ethiopias Prime Minister made gave the t. V. Until wednesday to hand themselves over or face a final assault. A spokesman for the Ethiopian Military wants civilians in the busy to grab capital mechanic that there will be no mercy if they dont save themselves before a final offensive to flash iles defiant, regional leader. Now hundreds and possibly even thousands have been killed in fighting an airstrike. And it strikes that erupted earlier this month about 40000. 00 people have fled into neighboring. So don and for more on the story im joined by Ahmed Soliman from chatham house. Hes a research on the wall, hold off africa. Welcome to news africa. So what is the most likely outcome following this 72 hour of a by has given the t. P. M. If need a ship . Well, theres another very strict limits and time period for that to be left to hand. And i think most honest feel that this does good faith is unlikely to lead to t. P. M. Death, surrendering at the regional capital macallan and handing over. I think this could then therefore lead to what whatever the x. Men and the government would be saying would then be you surrounding or in suckling mackell, a and artillery shelling of the caps, or its a cry region which could have a potential or a substantial number of casualties and damage down people were this in the right and let us talk about that confrontation at that is a likely, as you are saying, what is the likely toll on civilians . Well, if we were just a situation where mckenna was targeted, i mean, at this stage we could have heavy damage inflicted on the regional capital was when it started to severely civilian casualties in the region were city. I think that would, you know, have a significant reputational consequences for the federal government, which is why the federal government is encouraging you to stop supporting you can left but i didnt. Its apparent, absolutely city, but i think the left and their own. I dont ever have dismissed the threat saying that the environment is the military of many. I mean theyre not position currently to in so cal a they have more advanced far enough and they are calling their own civilians and to all. So we could lead to again, more intensified phrase conflict. Right . Stand by because id like to show our viewers a report about developments in ethiopia since abby asked me took office in in 20 africas youngest leader takes the oath of office. Abi osmond was just 44 when he became ethiopias Prime Minister after 2 years of bloody protests against government oppression. Dozens of ethnic groups have longed also for power. He was the 1st from the oromo people, the countrys largest, to take the reins. He started reforms right away, he lifted bans on Many Political parties and tried former officials for murder and corruption. Thousands of Political Prisoners went free and he signed a treaty ending the conflict with eritrea that had dragged on since 998 a moment of triumph. But if youre fearful of ethiopia and eritrea, yes, i would like to bow down and humbly. Thank you because you chose compassion, not cruel to them, then peace, not conflict, love not hatred, forgiveness or conflict pulling each other, not pushing one another to be won the Nobel Peace Prize at the end of 2019. 2 things have changed since then. As nic groups and individual ethiopian states have started to compete for more power and autonomy, even as abby is striving to create a National Ethiopian identity. Thats led to conflict. That can be zona romo group was attacked in hostilities, sparked by the killing of a famous oromo musician in june 2020. The dutch envelope with what our enemies want is that we dont finish the work that weve started to feel a room of people for this reason, fight are killed with the blood is spilled by the journey. Weve started a good gets derailed, things got worse. When leaders of the northern tea grey region defied orders to cancel an election because of the coronavirus pandemic, the face off turned into open hostilities in early november. When Government Forces started bombing, military sites, integrate human rights observers say, massacres followed. More than 20000, people have fled into neighboring sudan. Recently abbey sounds more like a strong man than a man of peace. Just mischievous force is surrounded on all sides. It is a force in its final throes of death. Many fear the conflict could destabilize the region, causing new wounds before the old ones have even healed. I had what it would be safe to say that in many ways this confrontation between and to cry has been a long time county. Yes, only. So if your peers who environment shifted 100 degree 80 degrees on its head when i became into power europe or showed that what weve seen is that the police who are divisions, some of the ethnic divisions and the structural problems he has havent been sufficiently addressed in the last couple of years and these include different narratives about it. Yours is story finished federalism project and tensions over the divisions between the center and this and the regions which, which are driven by claims for greater representation from various ethnic groups and more autonomy. And i think really that is at the roots of the conflict and why i think people worry about the wider consequences of conflicts reading beyond the right region. Thats a missile you want from chatham house. Thank you. Now nigerias on me has admitted that soldiers were equipped with live bullets when they went to disperse a demonstration in lagos. Last month, the shootings prompted widespread condemnation, both at home and abroad. The military claims its men fired in the air and not at the peaceful crowd. Who were part of the installs protests against Police Brutality. Now there has been no official death toll from the incident. And the families of some of those lost still have not been able to lay them to rest. They have come to confirm their worst fears. Such ng for answers of this mortuary. After they arrived, ones went missing during porters 1st month in legos. Brother is one of those unaccounted for. She went to a protest on october 20th. But to me, every time there is a very big sadness that i have ever had in my life. I dont know how to put it because its obviously painful nigerians to, to districts across the country for several weeks to protest Police Brutality. But on october 28th, Security Forces opened fire at one of these demonstrations in dickie when it was district. The number of casualties remains disputed. Despite conditions over coverup, the government claims it has nothing to hide so weve got to tell you to delay the racist that denied, but to get admitted firing live rounds of peaceful demonstrators gathered. The ongoing probe is seen as a big step towards holding both old accountable for their actions. But human rights organizations have described as brutal and unjustified. Its not enough for america who just wants to find his brother whos operate on a drug over to sheer force. Here because theyre not helping the shipping my posts in this country. Im not going nosing journey for the fun news. It was the secret and and your correspondent said, winning is the author reporter you just saw. He joins me now from lagos. Hi fred, how many people remain unaccounted for since the end . Kristen of the prison system and people were cured as a result of the port just about we understand for a composition that i listened hard with private dr. He actually transported more 150 bodies, but there were actually afraid and then there was an inquiry that is currently underway. That was this happened the aftermath of these prices. So thats a little bit about that. And perhaps give us a sense of whether the public actually has confidence in it that the inquiry has a 6 month mandate. And this inquiry into our views is committed by this is a poor use you need that was the center disbanded. And then they have also to key into crimes committed during the porters to solve, including a model of people and other crimes called needed during these pauses was just about smog, but whether people will trust this inquiry to be remains to be seen.

See all the farmers in iraq are calling it a bumper harvest, but covert 19 restrictions are approaching. This is the business im capered from. Welcome along. A covert 19 vaccine developed by astra zeneca. The university of oxford has shown to be 70 percent effective in a large scale clinical trial. The vaccine was the most effective of up to 90 percent when patients were 1st given a high dose, then a full one a month later. Astra zeneca said it could begin distribution by the end of the year if it gets regulatory approval. Unlike the biotech pfizer vaccine, this one can be stored in a fridge instead of needing an ultra cold freezer. Lets talk to the Business Correspondent in new york against this sounds like incredibly good news, but after that, because shares actually fell today. Why is boss you know, they have been a little bit of head scratching here on a wall street that obviously taking 1st half a dozen, then a full dose seems to be more effective than taking it to full doses. Even if that doesnt necessarily mean that this is a problem, i mean, you have to tell you around and play around and it was those doses to see what is good and sometimes more is not necessarily better. But overall its been seen as a, as a Good Development as good news, so that after be on, take pfizer and there are now we might be getting a 3rd were seeing any time soon. And we did see that joe wall street reacted positively on those news and specially companies and stocks that profits from the sea in our lines, the travel industry, hotel chains and that ike, they all had a very strong showing here on monday. And yes, im like, im a dairy now. And pfizer biotech, astra zeneca isnt actually looking to make a profit on its back. Same as it at least not for now. So at the height of the pandemic, the Company Actually did say that they do not want to make a profit. And we believe that might cost of all its reach a 4 percent from a strong and up to 21st percent, to 20. 00 from a pfizer. And by on take they had been some estimates recently that pfizer and by on take actually next year might make about 13000000000. 00 was the c. In. And then it wants to distribute the receipt and also to poorer nations and does not want to make a profit, at least for now. But at the end of the day, i mean the stock was down about one percent, but further down the line that doesnt necessarily mean that master the neckar will not make money, was to visit his clients.

Oh, now ali is expecting a bumper crop, but its not enough for him. And many of his fellow farmers that these trees are 30 years old, but now you see theres no market and the farmers are losing out.
