Jonah, how reports now from london. Its being hailed as a vaccine for the World Pharmaceuticals firm astra zeneca in partnership with the university of oxford says interim trial results will be sent to regulators immediately in the hope their product is approved for rollout. Before the end of the year. Weve got a vaccine which is a fact it prevents severe disease. And intriguingly, in result over the headline is protection. We do have as far are those and then of all those of the where we saw 90 percent or more data may be needed to confirm the 90 percent subgroup results, but cheaper to mass produce easier to distribute, to more moderate temperatures than its competitors. The british vaccine is good news for poorer parts of the world. In time the Astra Zeneca Oxford vaccine could lead to an end to the pandemic worldwide reaching parts of the world. The other vaccines on offer simply cant, but on a much shorter time scale, its already being projected by the government here. That Vaccine Technology may lead to a resumption of normal life by easter for National Institutions in england was just about addressing parliament remotely while serving a period of isolation himself. Prime minister Boris Johnson outlined a post lockdown plan for england. A return to the regional system of tiered restrictions introduced in october, but strengthened this time to guard against a further surge 1st. We must get through winter without the virus really out of control. Very hard by the gate at exactly the time when the burden on the n. H. S. Is always great. This planet is designed to carry out safely. Just so from december, the 2nd until april shops will reopen, parts of the economy will be allowed to breathe again and the government has promised the trammels can meet up over the christmas period. There is more than cautious optimism that an end to all of this is inside jonah, how aljazeera london or those behind the Oxford Astra Zeneca experimental vaccine are talking up its a low price and how it would be easier to distribute, especially in developing countries. Astra zeneca says it would cost about 3. 50 a dose and be stored at normal frigid temperatures for up to 6 months. On the other hand, when theres a vaccine, for example, or they can sit in the fridge for 30 days, or a regular freezer for 6 months, and it will cost between 15. 00 and 25. 00 per dose. Pfizers vaccine, well, itll be about 20. 00 for it requires specialist, deep freezing. And the marriott is the Health Policy manager at oxfam. She says the news last word is encouraging. If they do, you really want this to be a vaccine for the world, then we have to address the elephant in the room. And that is the supply issue. We dont have enough supply of this vaccine for the world. And, and, and its true that astra zeneca has with oxford and under Oxford University, its instruction we understand have made more deals with more manufacturers to scale up production. But they havent yet done enough. And thats why the peoples Vaccine Campaign is calling for astra zeneca. And in fact, all the pharmaceutical companies to open up their science to share their science and transfer that know how about this, about their vaccines. And they said that we can scale up that production to actually supply the world. But yes, we understand its based on, on one technology and for that reason it is lower cost. But also, as we understand it, Oxford University has put conditions on astra zeneca, not to make a profit, particularly in developing countries for the duration of this pandemic. But we need to see those contacts to be absolutely clear that astra zeneca is not making a profit from this and keeping the price as low as possible. And we need that those same guidelines apply to the other pharmaceutical companies as well and the other vaccine candidates us president elect joe bidens team as just confirmed topics 4 top Foreign Policy, and National Security roles. He wants Anthony Blinken as the next u. S. , secretary of state blinken was a long time Foreign Policy adviser to biden the jags of the news being lined up to take on the role of National Security advisor. Or hes worked for both biden and former u. S. Democratic president ial nominee Hillary Clinton and former secretary of state john kerry has been tapped to take on a new role. As climate czar have returned. She joins us live from washington, from wilmington, rather delaware. Thats the home state of president elect joe biden. So she had looking at the the picks for secretary of state and National Security adviser. What do they tell us about the direction of Foreign Policy on the biden . Its a return to the Foreign Policy establishment to the Foreign Policy establishment. Lincoln was deputy secretary of state under president obama, but as you say, a long time advisor to joe biden on Foreign Policy. As a result, he shows joe bidens jacket, career on Foreign Policy, notably joe biden, of lincoln support for the, for the iraq war. Having said that, lincoln is more of a hawk than biden biden, for example, during the Obama Administration was against the libyan bombardment of lincoln was all for it. He was for intervention in ukraine and in syria when it comes to blink. And i think that the main concern for progressives who are pleading with the Biden Administration on this topic is, is the revolving door like so many people from the Obama Administration after he left. d he went into private business, he became a consultant and made a fortune advising weapons about your troops. Big tax, big surveillance progress is going to look. We stop this revolving door because it leads to terrible conflicts of interest in your cabinets, especially when it comes to, for example, weapons sales, lincoln refusing to even tell us exactly which weapons about the factors he was advising. So there are always those questions that other notable figures i will, haynes, also director of national intelligence. The interesting she is being presented by the, by the by did ministration, is a great sign of progressive because she is a woman. The 1st woman to lead the intelligence community. Having said she, although shes a woman and thats progressive, i guess she was notorious in the Obama Administration, as the person who drew up, Barack Obamas kill lists for the extradition killings. And his drone strikes, she was the person who used to put those lists together. So it is very much of an establishment and establishment, obama Foreign Policy, Foreign Policy team. But then you always have that while called of joe biden himself, who sometimes its difficult to figure out, you know, how he comes to his decisions. And then on the other hand, if we look at the appointment for the environmental secretary, got a top diplomat in that position that says something about perhaps the priorities when it comes to Climate Change. Yeah, thats been welcomed enormously because not only is john kerry, a very senior figure, former secretary of state, but he will also sit on the National Security councils are really part of the key Decision Making process for Foreign Policy in the new administration that, that has to be welcome, interesting, going to talk more about the u. N. In a moment, but the u. S. New u. N. About to also be on the National Security council. So theyre looking for that biden doctrine. It clearly the Climate Change is apparently going to be important. Also, multilateralism, multinational alliances will be important, but in the end with by he goes with his gut and hes famous for always going with personal relationships. Hes very close to Benjamin Netanyahu. For example, during the arab spring, he was famous for being because of his closeness to Hosni Mubarak, not wanting to support the opposition to Hosni Mubarak in the Obama Administration. What was there even that we shouldnt cause mubarak a dictator . So theres always this combination of suspicion of intervention, but also his Foreign Policy, Foreign Policy, personal relationships. And theres an interesting dynamic now between the Foreign Policy blog which is putting around him, which is very much old school, washington Foreign Policy establishment. And the wild card himself, good stuff there from should have written. See thanks for that. You have a look at how the new Administration Takes being received among diplomats. Its go to diplomatic. At the james base. Had james bays who got a pick for the u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Under the biden and instruction. What does that say about the whole direction of america . 1st stand and the multilateralism, which the u. S. The path which the u. S. Has been on. Its a complete change of direction, its going now in the other direction for the Biden Administration, and there are huge sighs of relief, i think, among americas allies and a bunk many others in the International Community. When this news came through, i was actually sitting in the u. N. Daily press briefing, so i put questions to the spokesman for the secretary general, and they are being publicly, very diplomatic. Not saying very much. Simply saying, the secretary generals work closely with every permanent representative. This was sent by washington will continue to do so. I asked about john kerry as the now the special president ial envoy on Climate Change and again, was told that we will work work as always as we always have with representative of the united states. Thats because they dont want to upset and are worried about the final days of the trumpet ministration. And what an angered President Trump might do. Thats the public position. The private position of the u. N. I think, is going to welcome the fact that john kerry is in this post. I think theyll welcome the fact that they will have a new u. S. Ambassador at the u. N. Who was until the very beginning of the trumpet ministration. A career diplomat because kelly craft the current u. S. Ambassador, normally political appointees. But shes quite unusual in that she came to the job with no National Security experience at all. She was trumps ambassador canada, and she got that job after her and her husband donated large amounts of money to the trump campaign. So a Campaign Donor is the u. S. Ambassador now to be replaced by someone who is a career diplomat until she was fired in a cult of top career. Diplomats in the early days of the trump administration. Interesting, though, the new biden ambassador will of serve, at least for a few days under President Trump. I think u. S. Allies are going to have a sigh of relief when they see some of these figures in the jobs. They are most of the allies know Antony Blinken extremely well. Former deputy National Security advisor, deputy secretary of state. They will be well aware that these are people theyve dealt with before. Theyve met before, often have had dinner with before, whereas for merely much of the time, the trumpet ministration, some of the trump people, the people that they really didnt know all get on with very well interesting. Thanks so much. James bays, the leader of forces in ethiopia is northern to grey region is denying that Government Troops are in the process of surrounding the regional capital. The government though insists its soldiers are within 50 kilometers of mackellar. On sunday, it gave the Peoples Liberation front a 72 hour surrender ultimatum. A Communications Blackout has made claims from both sides difficult to verify. The government began its offensive almost 3 weeks ago. American way of following developments from nairobi in neighboring kenya. The government has said its forces a surrounded gray and Capital Regional capital of mackay, and that theyre about 50 kilometers away. That follows an ultimatum given by present by Prime Minister made on sunday. He said he was giving that to Ground Forces 3 days to lay down their arms ahead of what he said was a final would be a final assault on the regional capital. But the bread in the bread michael, the leader of the to green forces, has refuted these claims. He said its not true that the cities surrounded. And he said that 3 day ultimatum was actually a cover up on the part of the federal forces. Who he says are suffering following 3 defeats. So these reports these claims by both sides completely contradict each other. But its very hard to work out exactly whats going on. Since communications phone lines and internet in that part of the country have been cut off for weeks, sudanese authorities have opened 2 camps to cope with the influx of refugees from ethiopia, and morgan reports from state sound experience life like this before refugee camp in sudans got out of state is need too many refugees, but not it has testified. Her parents fled to the camp in 1985 to escape war and famine back in their home country. Shes back to the same old camp. This time with her 10 day old child who she gave birth to while fleeing conflict in ethiopias degree region. The more data i went to america to give birth to my child, but then the fighting started and you had to flee. I gave birth to my child while i was running away to come here. He was born on the road. Now im back to the camp where i was born as a refugee and my new born is at the same camp. Also, refugio was closed in the year 2000, following the return of most of the refugees who once lived in the capital back to ethiopia. But 20 years later, the camp is open again to cope with an influx of ethiopian refugees who started arriving to sudan. 2 weeks ago, all here have escaped from various parts of degree. Nearly 40000 refugees have fled to sudan altogether, following a government offensive on the to great Peoples Liberation front. The offensive was a response to an attack by the front on a military base, which came after months of tension between the Regional Government and the federal government. Taking a dash of hope not to come back to the camp. When he left here 2 years before it was closed, but he says the fighting has left him with no option. Has a home on how to theyre killing us, integrate. There are people being killed, our own children. Bombs are being dropped on buildings. Its sad that many of us are displaced again, but we want to live. We dont want to die in war. More than 6000 refugees now live in the camp. Its opened less than 2 weeks ago. Even though receiving refugees isnt new for the owner of the number of those arriving here has been increasing so fast that many of them are still without shelter access to basic services such as clean water, food and healthcare is also challenging. For many, this place is once again providing them with a refuge in the United Nations says it expects 200000 refugees to arrive to sudan in the coming months if fighting, integrate along with lack of humanitarian access continues. So these Authorities Say the camp has a limited capacity and more camps need to be established. But were urging donors and International Organizations to help us cope with the situation because its very dire. Some organizations provided aid, but theres too many people for the state. And for a few, were going to zation, they need services and they need care, which we cant provide alone. Sudan already has its economic problem
