Talks on libya get underway in june as with the aim of preparing for elections after last months signing of the cease fire agreement. One of the 7 wonders of the world reopens but under strict coronavirus measures after being closed for 8 months. The race for vaccine that could end the coronavirus pandemic has taken a significant step forward u. S. Drugmaker fine says its vaccine has proven to be more than 90 percent effective pfizer says its on track to ask for permission to sell a vaccine before the end of november but u. S. Health regulators have indicated they will take time to review potential vaccines the news comes as the head of the World Health Organization called for Scientific Solutions and solidarity to end the pandemic you made the comment says the Decision Making body meets in a largely Virtual Conference the deepening Public Health crisis is showing no signs of abating with more than 50000000 cases recorded globally and at least 1200000 deaths. Dominic k. Is live for us in dominic what more do we know about this is a vaccine what we know about this vaccine is that pfizer has been collaboration with the german elements have been pursuing trials there at the 3rd phase phase 3 of the important stage of the trial of this fax seen it so to do is faxing hasnt yet been approved thats what this last latest phase is going through now but the suggestion the strong suggestion coming from pfizer is that the people who this has been trials on as it were 90 percent effective 90 percent immunity is coming from this vaccine and so some of the people involved in this from pfizer are saying this is great news from their perspective and they hope very much to be able to spread this out as far as possible theyre talking about being able to create in the rest of this year in the 10s of millions of doses and then in the course of 2021 potentially more than a 1000000000 doses this is a 2 dose vaccine so that means that perhaps 50600000000 people might be able to be vaccinated with this provided of course it gets the authorization from the relevant to authorities but we know that many countries have already tried to acquire a certain number of doses because clearly they believe that there is very much in this new development that can take them further down the line towards a vaccine that can work for the vast majority of people and of course this news is going to be welcomed by countries battling coronavirus across the world whats the k. That situation there in germany where you are. Well we seem to be breaking records in so far as stock rises in numbers virtually every day every week so for example the number of new infections on monday is the highest number on a monday since the start of the pandemic and last monday was the highest on a monday the same metric being applied in so clearly when you have so many people coming down with the virus the suggestion that something is out there that could inoculate 90 percent vaccinate 90 percent of the and therefore reduce the numbers of new infections by 90 percent is clearly something that authorities right around the world want to latch on to and if we really drill down into the stats here in berlin for example we know now that one in 5 of all the intensive beds in the entire city states of that is occupied by a covert patient and while people have said the narrative in germany is that germany has not been as bradley effect as other European Countries the numbers keep on rising which explains why so many people here and around europe want this pfizer vaccination to be a success absolutely kate dominic many thanks rance places that from then on dr gloria tally on the as a professor of Infectious Diseases at the n. Z. University and ramsey says 5 as a vaccine candidate it is more effective than most people had hoped for. This is an incredible breakthrough because we expected the vaccine to be match match less effective than what i consider to be. We dont consider the possibility of the vaccine to be effective in 75 percent of subjects meaning that any vaccine open nation that who that children back to nation who prevent 75 percent of the not who are curing infections and it appears that this vaccine after just one month after the 1st of ministration therefore in a very full time is capable of preventing 90 percent 90 percent of infections which is an extraordinary result the next step would be to examine exactly will develop thats in the way or other words we have to know who received a vaccine in this 1st try yo and evaluate if this is some task could be extended also to have the population match more in needs for being vaccine the 2 that i mean oldest people people with comorbidities who are at risk of severe infections and probably were not included in the 1st trial you know. Well u. S. President elect joe biden has described the Vaccination Progress as excellent news saying i congratulate the brilliant women and men who helped for just this breakthrough and to give us such cause for hope at the same time he said it is important to understand that the end of the battle against cave at 19 still months away and President Donald Trump has reacted tweeting the stock market is up big vaccine coming soon 90 percent effective such great news he says. So the transition to a joe biden presidency in the United States is gathering pace with some key decisions already being made the president elect announced his task force to tackle what he says is his top priority the current virus pandemic its cochaired by dr David Kessler who served under the bush and clinton administrations on sunday biden visited a Church Cemetery where family members buried including his late some little trump is still refusing to concede defeat and is escalating his legal offensive his Campaign Says its about to launch challenges in states where hes disputing the counting of votes and World Leaders including Israels Benjamin Netanyahu and saudi Arabias Mohammed bin salmond have congratulated biden was former u. S. President and republican george w. Bush also sent his best wishes. To standing by for us at the white house but 1st lets mike hanna is in joe bidens hometown of bloomington in delaware and mike youve got bidens team putting the current virus at the top of its agenda what preparations is it in making. Well in the next few hours we expect the president elect to be meeting virtually with members of his new task force the composition of which has been announced in the course of the morning that will be headed by vic murphy now hes a former u. S. Surgeon general along with David Kessler whos a former commissioner of the food and Drug Administration including as well dr rich bright a former director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority thats significant because he was a whistleblower in may complaining that he was removed from his post after complaining that the trumpet ministration had not taken his warnings about the pandemic seriously enough but its a long haul to get through this transition period and the key issue here is the General Services authority now this is the body that determines when the translation process for me begins now theres nothing outlined about what is the basis for this decision a spokesperson for the Administration Says and i quote to duty is to ascertain the apparent successful candidate once the winner is clear based on the process laid out in the constitution now this is significant because previous transitions began when it was decided generally that the projected person was going to be the winner here piers to be the implication that the Administration Authority is waiting for the certification of the vote now that comes on the 1st wednesday after the 2nd monday in december which is december the 14th when the Electoral College formally ascertained whos the winner of the election now this would be a massive delay and would really really hinder the adventist the biden administrations transition plans now complicating the issue very finally is that the. General Services Administration is headed by emily murphy a controversial figure a trump appointee shes been already criticize. For action court cases against the General Services administration regarding the trump hotel in d. C. And its attempts to take over the old f. B. I. Headquarters so this is a real political issue which has got to be resolved absolutely ok mike a moment many thanks indeed lets cross over now to kimberly at the white house and give you were going to know more about the election or suits that donald trump has says hell moans today. Theres certainly pressure on the president to at least have his Campaign Reveal the evidence of widespread voter regularity over the weekend it was alleged that particularly in nevada and other states that there is evidence of ballots that were submitted by people who are just sees to or have moved to another state and there are concerns that more than one ballot have been filed or cast in the ballot in the election and as a result there is concern that these results are not 100 percent accurate now critics would argue that this will not change the outcome of the election because the number of votes are in consequential but the campaign is insisting for election transparency that it was to continue to pursue this so as a result once again no plans for the u. S. President to concede and this is interesting that the president once again does not have anything on his public schedule having said that what we do know is the Vice President is meeting with his Coronavirus Task force and what is also interesting is that as we report the news of the vaccine we are learning that pfizer the drug Company Behind this vaccine is saying it had nothing to do with operation warp speed which is the program that this administration put forward to try and accelerate the vaccine and well donald trump is claiming credit on twitter in some sense talking about how this is something to celebrate the bottom line is that in fact the drug company is saying they had no connection whatsoever to operation warp speed headed up by the Vice President mike pence that it feels it needs to distance itself from that kimberly for the moment thanks very much.

K. He says the lack of cooperation is a problem for the biden team but not an unexpected one. If you cannot get access to the offices and equipment if you cannot get access to the personnel to make the handover its like buying a new house and then having someone lock you out and being unable to get into it the question is how long can the trumpet ministration whoever is handed down the order to the head of the General Services administration how long can they maintain this blockade on cooperation i think its not unexpected however to the by the paris Transition Team so what theyre focusing on is look we go ahead and set out what were going to do anyway i do use extremely important today that they announce the Coronavirus Task force with Public Health experts medical experts Technology Experts because they can be putting the measures into place that they want to pursue from day one to handle the pandemic and additionally as your correspondent noted by signaling the executive orders protecting the dreamers the Young Children of undocumented immigrants from deportation rejoining the World Health Organization protecting environmental regulations that at least sets markers down.
