One driver follows his new documents escape after a huge crash at sundays bahrain grand prix. Us drugmaker modern a has announced. Its asking american and european regulators for emergency approval for its covert 1000 vaccine on monday. This past corona virus cases continue to rise steadily across the u. S. Well, during the says its final trial results confirm its more than 90 4 percent effective. Its just a week behind fines are fueling hopes that the u. S. Could have to approve the vaccines by the end of the year. But Public Health experts say the country should be preparing for a surge in cases after the thanksgiving weekend. A rise thats coming too soon for either vaccine to slow. Nearly 139000 new infections were confirmed on sunday and 826. Thats well, the u. S. Health secretary says if everything goes to plan federal approval for vaccines could be granted in the coming weeks with pfizer, with the f. D. A. Announced an Advisory Committee for december the 10th. And if everything is on track, everything proves out what, what it appears to be. We could be looking at approval within days after that midair knows basically one week behind that and general permit his from operation work speed that will ship within 24 hours of f. D. A. Authorization. So we could be seeing both of these vaccines out and getting into peoples arms before Christmas Television joins us live now from the white house, allan. So i guess its on that i believe good news, or potentially good news that there could be 2 vaccines. But the question is, how many would be available in the 1st wave . Is there any indication of that coming from the administration . Well, theyre hoping their own 20000000. 00 vaccinations might be available in the run up to the end of the year. The priority would obviously be health care workers, then youre talking about nursing homes, not just the residents, but also the staff are working there and then frontline workers getting the vaccine. Me seem relatively easy when it comes to the next stage, which is of course, getting the vaccine to people and getting into peoples arms. And already were seeing from one government watchdog saying that 17 states believe that there could be greatly or completely concerned about supplies. So they may well have the vaccine, but the difficulty might be that they dont have the needles to inject it, or they dont have the syringes to inject it. So all of these logistical problems have to be addressed before people can start saying, well, this is good news. Theyre hoping december 21st might be the day that we start seeing people being vaccinated, which is an incredible amount of time given that the vaccine really only started to get Public Awareness back in march. So youre talking about 45. 00 times quicker than any vaccine in medical history. So that is quite incredible. But of course theres a big job to be done after that 20000000 in the initial stages. And then the Drug Companies are hoping that somewhere between 500000000 and 1000000000 people will be vaccinated in 2021. Its a hope, its a realistic hope they think. But theres still a long way to go. And there allan just talk us through how bad the situation is, right now in the u. S. , i guess, earth now and potentially how bad it could be until rigs, because the u. S. Is just hard thanksgiving returned. And youve got to remember the thanksgiving is the big travel holiday here in the United States. More people tend to travel on thanksgiving than they do at christmas or new year. And the experts are deeply worried that what has happened over the last few days because you have travel in the run up to thanksgiving on thursday. And then sunday is another big travel day with people going back home. It may just have ceded a significant problem in the next 10 to 12 to 14 days more states across the United States. In fact, 49 of them are reporting that the problems are expected to continue to get washed with Washington State saying its in a really critical condition. Just in the last few minutes weve heard from Gavin Newsome whos the governor of california saying that over the next couple of days they might reintroduce, stay at home orders, that there is a problem there. Theyre also suggesting that hospitals across california could well be in a situation where the breaking point and there are a number of states that are in a similar position. Even if you think of somewhere small in north dakota, which doesnt have a huge population. But the hospitals there have a real problem and you remember that north dakota was the place where the bullet struck, thats where people went there because of the expertise there and theyre seeing that they are having real difficulty as well. So this isnt just isolated to the big states like california and new york. This is across the entire country. An egg spares, are deeply what he did, but what you might see in the run up to christmas. So good news on one hand, yet they have a vaccine that hoping to get out before december the 25th, but also a real problem that could be brewing in the next couple of weeks with this thanksgiving holiday. Seeing a significant outbreak right across the United States, which of course will be amplified by the fight is a lot colder here. No, and that means people are spending a lot. d more time indoors and that means a lot more exposure for people who could well come down with this virus. Absent parent, fresh air regulations that are outside the white house. And as always thanks will. Well, he may be hobbling after fracturing his foot, but u. S. President elect joe biden is moving full steam ahead with the transition to his administration. On monday he receives his 1st daily security briefing and he unveiled his picks for 5 key economic positions. Its being described as the most diverse White House Economic Team in history. Biden has nominated former Federal Reserve chair janet yellen to the post of treasury secretary and wally of the yaml, who will be the 1st black deputy treasury secretary, rumors of yellin support, and contributed to the dow jones, reaching a record high of 30000. 00 last week. So who exactly is janet yellen . Well, the former Federal Reserve chair made history as the 1st woman to lead the u. S. Central bank. She took over in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, and unemployment fell steadily during her tenure. If confirmed a should also be the 1st woman to lead the Treasury Department in its 231 year history. The 74 year old is respected on both sides of the political aisle and on wall street. Investors see her as someone likely to increase spending to lift the country out of its coronavirus induced recession. Of course a solution joins us live now from what wilmington in delaware. As so kristen, what is the secret army team say about what bidens approach is likely to be when we see him following through on a Campaign Commitment to have a government that looks more like the people it represents. Weve heard echoes of that commitment and statements made by janet yellen talking about bringing back the American Dream for all americans. I think its safe to interpret that as a commitment to raising wages and reducing inequality for americans. But janet yellen is walking into a very difficult situation as is the rest of the team. The Economic Outlook for the United States right now is about as gloomy as the weather here. And wilmington, delaware, the jobs situation is pretty dire. Weve got more than 12000000 americans unemployed. Many of them are due to see their Unemployment Benefits and at the end of the year, because theres been no agreement from congress on the other a deal. We know that job growth is slowing. It was picking up a bit over the summer months as businesses were reopening, but now were seeing a surge in corona virus infections around the country and. And that is really, really taking a toll. Of course, janet yellen is no stranger to economic challenges. She served under barack obama. However, when she was the head of the Federal Reserve, in 2008, obama had just come into power sweeping to power. With a decisive victory, you had democrats in control of the House Democrats in control of the senate. Now we have a much more divided congress. Democrats have control of the house. They could eat back control of the senate based on a special election in georgia and january. But even if they do, their majority will be so small that theyre really going to have to work with the other side of the aisle work across the aisle in order to get any kind of a relief bill passed. And so far weve seen yelland predecessor, steve, just unable to do that so she will have a very tough task ahead. But clearly were seeing this commitment to try to make things better for all americans coming from the, by the campaign. Chrysalis me with the latest, from wilmington, in the where . Kristen, thank you. Well, robert scott is a Senior International economist at the Economic Policy institute who has worked with 2 of bidens nominees and he joins us now from maryland in the us via skype. Sir. Thank you for joining us here on aljazeera. So you 2, you know 2 of them, but more generally, what is your reaction to to the team that biden has appointed today . Well, its overwhelmingly positive. This is a strong team. I think its been well accepted by both conservative and liberal economists. Theyre clearly targeted very precisely on unemployment and the state of the economy. Economic recovery is going to be job one for this team. And i think theyre all well qualified for it. I mean, it is a pretty unprecedented economic situation, not just for the us, but really for the world. So what do you think specifically, is it that makes this team well qualified and how do you think theyre going to handle it . Well, each of them brings to the table a different set of expertise and tools. Theyre all well trained in labor economics, though, of course janet yellen is, has got a background in banking and monetary theory. But just on the economics team, you know, Cecilia Rouse to share as specializes in education and training. So thats going to be a key part of the development plan. Jared bernstein is a specialist in jobs and wages. And thats going to be essential we need, as you said, at least 12000000 jobs to get out of this recession and heather bushay has focused on inequality in her work, and especially on delivering the social programs such as childcare and support for families. So each of them will take a different part of the labor market. All of them together, i think will come up with plans and programs to get the economy back on its feet. And of course of the most well known name there janet yellen, former Federal Reserve chair. Why do you think that she is the right pick for the job . I have. Well, shes just incredibly experience. Shes been the head of the council of economic advisors and a chairman of the Federal Reserve bank in San Francisco and of the of the fed itself. And she just brings to the table a wealth of both goodwill and experiences as was noted in your earlier report, stock markets stored on the announcement of her appointment. So i dont think theres any controversy there either. Shes well accepted by wall street and should have no trouble getting approved. But the key thing is, in her past job, shes been focused on monetary policy, keeping Interest Rates and unemployment low. Now at treasury, shes going to have to focus on rebuilding the economy, creating jobs, and putting people back to work. I think she has the skills for both. This is about fiscal policy. For marilee, a treasury robert scott, Senior International economist at the Economic Policy institute. Joining us from maryland, sir, thank you for sharing your views and knowledge with us. Thank you. Thank you for staying in the u. S. Arizona has become the latest state to certify its election result, confirming president elect joe biden as its winner.

It is complete. Everyone in georgia will be able to have even more confidence in the results of our elections, despite the massive amount of misinformation that is being spread by dishonest emotions, of many troops, supporters with fantastic claims, half truths, misinformation. And frankly, they are misleading the president as well. Coming up on this news hour from london migrants the census, and the new Supreme Court make up why this combination could impact the u. S.

Secretary of state has urged ethiopias Prime Minister to bring a complete end to the fighting in the northern t great region in a phone call. My phone, peo urged to hold a constructive dialogue with the to gradients to resolve the crisis. Have you ordered a military offensive on the Northern Region more than 3 weeks ago, accusing t. Grays leaders of attacking federal forces. Earlier he told the parliament that Government Forces have not killed a single civilian during the conflict, and they insist that the army will not the story, the regional capital back in the after capturing it on saturday. But the t. V. Great Peoples Liberation front says that there is still fighting government soldiers near the city. Hundreds of people have died, and 21000000 have been displaced by the fighting. That another person to get. The most important, every target has been signed and approved. The house can see that every missile launched is backed by a signature of authority. 99 percent of them hit their targets and 99 percent of them didnt have collateral. No countrys army can show this kind of performance. Our army is disciplined and victorious. They said you will destroy mckelway and so on. A regular is ours. It was build with our own resources. We are not going to destroy it. Not even a Single Person was affected by the operation. Well, malcolm webb is following events for from nairobi. He says the claims and counterclaims are difficult to verify because communications in the regions have been cut off for weeks. The government has said that its forces controlled all of the gray region ever since it took the regional capital city of micheli on saturday. Prime minister, the ammeters told members of parliament that the Government Forces didnt kill a single civilian in their operations. The t. T. L. Less leaders are contradicting these claims. They say that many civilians were killed in government airstrikes, something that the government denies. And the t. P. S. Leaders of also said that they shot down one of those military planes that theyve taken back one of the towns within the vicinity of mackellar and also that theyre fighting on all fronts. The Prime Minister spoke person refuted these claims as delusional. But without journalists or humanitarian workers having much access to the region, athol and with the phone lines in the internet, cut off very difficult to verify any of these claims. But the red cross has said that in the city of macquarie, about 80 percent of the people in the hospitals have trauma injuries. They didnt say how the people got those injuries. But they did say that theres a serious shortage of medical supplies needed to treat them. And also a shortage of body bags. More than 40000 refugees have fled across the border from t. Grey into sedan. Mohammad viles reports from one of the main refugee camps on efforts to help the children there. Its theres no blackboard or charcoal notebooks, but theres a sparkle of hope in the eyes of these young, a choking refugees, trying to start a new life. Amid the toughest of conditions, the makeshift school at the on barack obama camp is sponsored by the norwegian, their futures council. One of the things were trying to do is to help give them a sense of normalcy. But a sense of stability. By setting up some temporary learning spaces so they can have some classes every day, something to do, but also something to learn from in this really chaotic period of their life. So far we set up 10 classes, 2 shifts a day. We hope that is about a 100 children that we can help in the 1st instance. Theres probably going to be a few 1000 children already. Theres an estimated 3000 children in this camp. Many of them had their education disrupted when fighting broke out between the chopping, federal army and the ukraine Peoples Liberation front. A few weeks ago, they were forced to flee with their families, relief agencies speak of a number of unaccompanied children in need of special care. Some are showing signs of trauma, others are barely coping with the sudden change in their lives. Some have had it even worse.
