Scientists in mexico are now at the largest collection to date of ice age skeleton. So another step forward this monday, in the search for a vaccine for the corona virus that has now killed upwards of 1300000. 00 people all over the world. This is come from the u. S. Pharmaceutical firm madonna, which says early results from its trials show, its vaccine is 94 and a half percent effective. This is the same company that present dont President Donald Trump made a deal with back in august to purchase 100000000 doses of the drug once it is ready. Modena, the 2nd candidate, the chance of getting approval. You will remember, pfizer announced last week that its vaccine was 90 percent effective in late stage trials. All very promising news as the infections continue to climb with the u. S. Alone. Now with those over 11000000 confirmed cases, the highest in the worlds so very pleased to bring in the office in new york who is a professor of epidemiology and medicine at columbia university. Weve spoken to a number of times doctor about this. How excited are you about the news youve heard from madonnas today . Very excited. Indeed. Theyre having this news that today regarding them with their no vaccine and about a week ago on the highs effects seen both of which show more and then early do you know more than 90 percent because see this is really very, very encouraging and being said for the world over are can you give us any more detail from, from, from what youve heard from . One of the key issues, if you like, with the finds a vaccine, was how it had to be stored at very, very cold temperatures. Is there a difference this time around . Yes, certainly going to the accident also needs to be asked or a death cold temperature, but not as cold as the cause. A wreck seen their necks in at minus 74 degrees fahrenheit. The highs are actually needs to be stored at about minus 90 degrees fahrenheit. So theres a difference in terms of their net into the cold storage, but both of them need court storage. Ok. And both of them are wired to goes it, right. So its good news that we are getting these levels of effectiveness, but then there becomes a timeline, doesnt there about how it can actually get approval. And im sure that manufacturing, i mean President Trump ordered a 100000000 doses of this one alone. So any thoughts on the timeline . Well, these are preliminary data and the companies are continuing to follow the participants in their studies to collect more data box on terms of the efficacy. I would know how well the vaccine works, as well as also the safety, because we need a little bit of a longer harlowe up to make sure that their axioms are safe. At that point in time, the bulk of the Companies World submit to the for the Drug Administration here in the united states, their request for emergency use are to rise issued and this is a lousy then there are these tribute in and they use of these vaccines amongst the population, and this is obviously going to take several weeks, if not several months and then beyond there, of course, those they need to be able to distribute the vaccines and deploy them to the people who need them the most. And thats our 2nd it except play. If we sort of zoom out a bit and look at the big picture. I mean, this all started well started at the start of the year obviously, but i guess february, march was when we really started saying ok infections are really increasing to be and november and getting these sorts of positive results. I mean, as that been an extraordinary achievement under the circumstances of getting a vaccine to this stage. Absolutely, i think the there was a global mobilization by researchers and around the world and pharmaceutical companies and governmental agencies from all around the world to push the development of that scene as rapidly as possible. Sooner rather than having the usual traditional sequential development of vaccine going through the frenchies instead, hes incrementally over time. And this may now in much more accelerated development of these vaccines and actually starting to manufacture the vaccines even before we have data on their efficacy. So the goal was has always been to try to get the vaccine thats safe and effective as soon as possible and obviously to get it to the people who need to take a backseat as soon as possible. Thats what ok. Dr. Wafa, thank you so much for your time and some yes, some good news and its nice to have that on the coronavirus for a change. Absolutely, thank you. Lets look at the crisis in northern ethiopia, in the government, which is sending reinforcements to the rest of take the region.

But ive also sent missiles across the border to us model, something diplomats say, could drop at a train and make this war international. So this conflict erupted after an attack on a federal military base in taking my province fight regional colleagues. From our sister channel al jazeera arabic got exclusive access to that base. Now, we are now inside the northern military base, located integrate a region in northern ethiopia. It was the attack here which sparked current clashes between the federal Government Forces and the 2 great Peoples Liberation front. This military base, the largest in ethiopia, houses massive military gear, chiefly tanks, simply because it has been for 2 decades. The epicenter of ethiopias war against every trail. According to the federal army, p. L. F. Fighters launched an offensive in an attempt to seize the base along with the weaponry and they were met with fierce resistance. And as a result, this base has recently witnessed ferocious fighting, marik, but you will be hard to be a behemoth in the wake of these developments. If your peers pm obvious, declared war against city p. L. F. On the ember forces, saying that their assault on the base crossed the red line was that her son was a northern military base. Great province. So refugees as well from ethiopians to our region are continuing to cross into neighboring sedan. Sudanese state media says the number of people think the violence has now risen to nearly 25000. But morgan has more from near the sudan, ethiopia border after walking for 5 days in my matthew has finally reached he escaped fighting in his hometown of home in ethiopia, stigler a region.

I have not had food for days and my belly is hurting, even though ive got a month before giving birth. The Reception Center here at home day it has one health clinic, but lacks proper medical equipment. Doctors say more and more patients are arriving every day. We get wounded people because of explosive materials, like grenades, gunshots and fractures. Some people have diabetes. We try to handle the cases we can, but where we card, we were further to the county hospital. But we are quite concerned about the possibility of spread of Communicable Diseases amongst refugees, because theyre all close together in a small space. So dan is planning to transfer people here to another camp. Those at least well enough to move, but more refugees are expected. And the pressure on this clinic will remain morgan aljazeera, how date need to sudan if youll be a border to a meeting with the foreign minister has resigned the most significant political casualty. Since the deal was made to one of the parts of not going to and the pressure is rising though, on Prime Minister nicola passion on to step down in his 1st address since the agreement with john after the weeks of fighting to take responsibility for the loss of territory, but reiterated he will stay in office and bring stability to the country. Has been widespread protests against the concessions that he made. An update now with hoda abdelhamid, who isnt yet on the capital of armenia and what does the resignation of a foreign minister really amount to in this situation . And it really amounts to that the Prime Minister has not been able to be convincing enough ever since this ceasefire agreement was signed in the beginning. Early days it was the opposition. That was the voice was louder. d coming out of there, but now it within his own party, people had an extraordinary session in parliament. It was only the member of his bloc attending the opposition said that he would not attend because resignation was not on the table. He was trying to explain his point of view, he said that previous ministrations had, had negotiations with azerbaijan. And that the issue of journey call it was always a precondition set to by the azerbaijani side. Well then, after that we heard folks woman of the foreign minister, she posted on social media the Resignation Letter of a foreign minister, which is basically a handwritten letter about 2 sentences saying, please accept my resignation. It was great to work with you. And that was it, no explanation given, she said that the Prime Minister had lied, that its not true that in previous negotiations to fade shoes, he had never been a precondition between the 2 sides. So, you know, to now hes coming under fire from his own party and i have to say hes also coming under fire from to families of soldiers. I was earlier in today just in front of the defense ministry. There were a lot of families there asking what happened to this, to their children. They were very angry because it was quite impossible to speak to them because the anger was so palpable. And they were standing there saying that they come every day trying to figure out. 6 whats going on and no one is giving them any explanation. The Prime Minister said that hundreds of bodies are still missing. But he didnt say when they will be coming back, even though there is an ongoing swap. So hes under fire from all quarters at the moment. Thank you. In the news ahead. We know that we can do this. We can vote un backed talks on libya, run with rival groups agreeing on a date for national elections, but can they get back . And moldova chooses its next leader in another battle between supporters of the, e. U. Russia we got some rather lively weather pushing across parts of china. Now its been quiet here recently with a big area of High Pressure north sea. But at the moment this massive cloud spilling out of mongolia will gather, itll push is where cost more than parts of china. Some increasingly wet weather coming in here as you go on through chews day and on into way to stay by wednesday. Torrential downpours and will roll across the yellow sea. Pushing across into the final thesis of china. Snow on the northern flank might even see some of that snow heading towards beijing. Something to watch out for west the weather will push across north korea and eventually through south korea. Ahead of that fire and dry in japan followed try to into central and southern parts of china for the time being as is the case today across a good part of china and much of india. But down to the south, we have got some very wet weather in play here, and thats going to feed its way in from the by a been go, a lot of the showers. Theyre rolling it under, but dash pepping up across dumbell, not the wet weather there too into kerala, and the possibility of some flooding as well for a time into sri lanka. So wetter weather is set to persist here. Further north, fine and dry in pakistan was smoke problems there for new delhi. But talk to aljazeera. We heard scott realistically, how can you do it . Institutionalize corruption in this country. If we listen. If this breaks up into a conflict between august and india, this has implications for the rest of the world. We meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter. On aljazeera be the hero, the world needs washing. With aljazeera, these are the top stories this hour. Heres pharmaceutical firm maternal says early results from its coded 19 vaccine show. Its nearly 95 percent effective. Its now in stage 3 Clinical Trials with 30000. 00 volunteers taking part if yogis governments sending reinforcements to the rest of Northern Region forces are appealing to the International Community to condemn the offensive. But the governments ruled out any mediation efforts. And i mean, these Foreign Ministers resigned after days of protests against a peace deal with azerbaijan. But Prime Minister nicol passion young refuses to step down. He is still defending the decision to hand back parts of not going to cut it back. But he does take responsibility for talks about libyas future have ended, but without an agreement on who will form an interim government. The uns acting envoy says a lot more work needs to be done. Both sides have agreed to hold nationwide. Elections in December Next year is some thoughts on a Committee Founder and director of the static institute a Public Policy think tank on libya. He is cautiously optimistic about the talks. This war was not sparked by elections. Russian snipers that made their way to tripoli didnt come to stop elections or start elections. The war that has begun though, over 18 months, so you can keep counting. For as many years you would like that i would bring back your memory to 2017. Paris hosted a conference between the government, National Accord in western libya and the Libyan National army of the libyan about forces. After and his backer in parliament, i got us all up to negotiate a reform president ial council that is also on the agenda in tunisia is a thin slice of what is being talked about in the agenda, a separate part of the political deal. But let me remind you, this is the most important aspect for a single reason in any democratic states in the world, the head of the state, the presidency or the Prime Minister in some cases, is also the Supreme Commander of the armed forces. And this is really getting at the heart of libyas struggle for nearly a decade. Who decides, is a civilian or not that decides how to control or bring the military to heel . Will the military in libya be subservient to a civilian rule irrespective of what they believe politically, and they respect of who chooses that . And there is a dangerous precedent that is being set because negotiating with helicopter or get us out of all the battles with elegance in the Libyan Political Forum in tunisia is a dangerous treading of the dangerous part. Essentially where you allow your military activity make a decision that only your people can really make it on from still refusing to admit defeat in the u. S. President ial election. There was some speculation he was moving maybe toward some sort of concession based on, well one of his tweets, but then theres always another tweet. And it was this one. I won the election he same in all caps. Early in his campaign dropped a court claim suggesting the vote count in pennsylvania was unconstitutional.
