Big oil on trial voile dutch shell is accused of not doing enough to protect people and the planet from Climate Change. Welcome to the program, we begin with the race to roll out a Coronavirus Vaccine and the u. S. Drug from pfizer plus its german partner by your own take say that they hope their vaccine could be launched in europe this month. If it gets the sign off from regulators, theyve asked the European UnionsMedicines Agency for emergency approval and the review could be completed by december 29th. That could mean at least 2 vaccines approved in europe and the United States by the end of the year. Meanwhile, the u. S. Centers for Disease Control is holding an emergency meeting to decide who will get 1st access to a vaccine. An independent Advisory Team made up of 15 medical and Public Health experts began meeting just minutes ago and is expected to vote in the coming hours. States will that have until friday to decide how much of the vaccine they need. The u. S. Government wants the vaccines, the spatchcock within 24 hours of approval. Or for the latest. Lets go live to aljazeera white house correspondent, kimberly how can really, lets start with this c. D. C. Theyre meeting to discuss how the vaccines will be rolled out. What do we actually know . It will we know that its a high priority of this white house. In fact, so much so that we understand the f. D. A. Commissioner steven hahn was summoned here to the white house to speak directly with some of the president s team about what the holdup is now in terms of the hold up, it is a critic celebrated timeline. Not only has emergency use authorization been requested by both mcgurn and pfizer, but now the c. D. C. Is meeting to discuss the distribution of vaccines that are still in the final stages of that approval. So what we do know is that the meetings from the f. D. A. Da, those hearings will take place, will be december 10th and 17th for her and modernity, respectively. But what were hearing from mike pence, the Vice President , as he held a call with governors on monday, is that he expects these vaccines will almost immediately be rolled out december 14th is what he was telling governors. And whats really notable about all of this is that you have to think about of this were about 10 months into the pen demick. Now here in the United States, and this is the 1st Distribution Plan that really has been put together prior to this. When it came to p. P. And others sort of issues resolved surrounding covert 19, it was really the states left on their own and the federal government giving some direction. But it was really a states kind of dealing with it as they saw fit. This is now going to be more of a centralized plan, a Distribution Plan in terms of this distribution. What we know is that the elderly, meaning those living in Nursing Homes that have been so hard hit or care homes that theyre also called, they will be among the 1st to receive as well as the Health Care Workers dealing with cope with 19. And then there will be those that following that will be those with chronic commune conditions are also those who are just in target age groups that are at high risk. So these are kind of the tears of how this will be distributed, but what we know, its going to be in the 10s of millions distributed, but the population of the United States is 330000000. 00 plus. So its a long way to go. Yeah, it really is. And of course, the health issue goes hand in hand with the comic one in congress, is trying to work out a crow novartis relief package worth nearly one trillion dollars. So the question is, will the people who need this money get it any time soon . Its looking hopeful for the people that need it, what were hearing and whats a hopeful sign is that things really shut down prior to the election in terms of progress on this issue. And now theyve seem to be talking again at least we know that nancy pelosi, the House Speaker is meeting with the treasury secretary, steve mission. And of course you need the president to sign this for it to become law. The good thing about some legislation thats been unveiled today that looks like its going to provide the relief that americans are looking for, is that its bipartisan in a divided United States. Thats a pretty critical word. In other words, it can pass the Republican Controlled Senate can pass the democrat controlled house, which previous packages couldnt do. And very quickly whats inside this that is encouraging. So many people is its going to provide a lifeline to those that were fearing the moratorium on the vixens would and are fearing that the moratorium on student loan payments would end and people who are looking for an extension on unemployment benefits. Its also going to help the transportation sector very quickly. The Airlines Getting a big chunk of that if this becomes law and also some of the subway systems and bus systems in the United States. Of course, not getting the riders and the revenue that they were getting before due to the fact that people arent going to work. Theyre working from home or they got laid off. So theyre trying to prevent further layoffs of those workers. So its a lifeline, but its certainly not going to bring this economy back the way it was prior to the decimation due to covert 19 in such a difficult situation can really help that outside the white house. Kimberly, as always, thank you. Well, its been a feature of the british high street for nearly 2 and a half centuries, but now that the partner and store chain there, bynums has become the latest business casualty of the pandemic. 12000 jobs are now at risk with the collapse linked to the potential demise of the arcadia group, threatening another 13000. 00 workers kolbein and has more. Its really not the season to be jolly here on the u. K. High street with the u. K. Retail sector in a genuine crisis at the moment in the run up to christmas. And in the midst of this pandemic, the news about especially a surprise, its been in Administration Since earlier this year. But the fact that 12000 jobs are now in serious jeopardy, just weeks before christmas is a big blow to the Retail Sector. People that weve been speaking to here on the high street, lamenting the downfall of a 242 year retail tradition. Very, very disappointed about that because i see a lot of online shopping. And theyve got 70 different brands in there. So its one of the stores i shop in very frequently. Well, actually work where were from brighton and i always book stuff from there and i think they were babies. Christmas things, things for the house. Its easy. Its really, really sad. News about devon, im just 24 hours after the arcadia group, which has such brand names as top shop. Talk to selfridge announced that they were going to potentially lose around 13000. 00 jobs as a result of going into administration. Again, evidence of the very difficult trading environment for the high street. The factors have not just been about the pandemic. The high street has been under strain for many years. The move to online shopping, the move out of town retail parks as well. But this coronavirus has put the Retail Sector under enormous strain and so soon before christmas it is a bitter blow for thousands of workers, up and down the u. K. Well before a vaccine is widely available, testing remains the best route to getting many countries operating in any way like normal. Now, a u. K. Developer says its of rapid test could provide a result on the spot within 10 minutes. But as General Health reports from manchester, economic concerns are still coming up against privacy worries. Its tempting to think the arrival of a vaccine will mean the end of all this students being tested before returning home for christmas, whole city populations trying to reduce transmission. But it wont, we dont have many long term. We dont know people we need on your back. So theres a lot of things we dont know. So using dying moments and that you know, in the media, is going to be really important. Fast accurate testing remains of vital goal. 5 solutions for which it will be much wolf looks at. This is a do it yourself test delivering results in 10 minutes. The mideast certain 19 test is being trialled in spain. Its u. K. Developers safe faster than existing alternatives, using nothing more invasive than a saliva sample. Partnered with an app, a unique q. R. Code. There is the potential here for a Digital Immunity passport system as a timer and allocated to the test that you actually undertaken in terms of days, hours and minutes. And then to view your actual passport of freedom. You have your q. R. Code, which has been bonafide from the device. You have a q. R. Code that tells you ive had a test. My test is negative, im good to go correct and all of that information is then border is put together. Once the test result is confirmed, theres much speculation, but the u. K. Government insists its not considering a system of immunity passports to determine where people can go or what they can do, depending on whether theyve had a test or taken a dose of the vaccine. Its an idea that offends libertarian sensibilities, but given the uncertainties about the pace and the long term effectiveness of any vaccination program, it may well be a necessary evil. I think you need to be did we think so that we now whether they have back nation where they were really in the world is holding its breath. Expecting an imminent return to normal life of normality may not be quite as we remember it. Drawn out aljazeera, Irans Parliament has passed a draft motion to halt, unrestricted access by the International AtomicEnergy Agency to its nuclear sites. The motion also allows iran to resume uranium enrichment at levels of 20 percent. Another violation of the 2015 nuclear deal reports there from tehran and urgent motion passed during and urgent session in parliament on tuesday. 251 parliamentarians are demanding that the government stop unrestricted access by inspectors to rein in nuclear sites. This draft bill would also oblige irans Atomic Energy organization to take you rein him in richmond to 20 percent. It is now at 4. 5 percent. And under the 2015 nuclear agreement, iran should be producing enrich uranium at only 3. 67 percent the much least indeed stands the message to the enemies of iran that this one sided game is over. This motion will now have to go to the Guardian Council for approval, but all the citizens about Irans Nuclear program are made by another body as the Supreme National security council. But this move by the conservatively controlled parliament, comes at a critical time. On friday, 63 year old nuclear scientists, most and factories are there, was assassinated near to her on when his motorcade came under attack in broad daylight. In a rare move, the government released these never before seen photos of the receiving the order of service for his role in the 2015 nuclear deal. A fact which was not public, knowledge until now. In 2018, u. S. , president dollar, trump withdrew from the deal and imposed a series of crippling economic penalties on iran. As a result, iran reduces commitments to the deal in phases and the access to International Atomic energy inspectors is all of what remains. As part of the deal, there is a lot of pressure on the government inside iran to respond to the sas, a nation of one of the countrys top nuclear and defense officials. I think its quiet telling indicating the fact that iran or the when and debates on the j. C. B. Your moving to a are for you know, situation and rhetoric, i think will best well have an effect on the future negotiations on the j. C. Youre right and compliance with the to use this motion allows the government one month to implement these demands of this other after the article 176. 00 of the iranian constitution states. It is a matter beyond the 3 branches of government or the legislative body, which is the mag last. No political body or branch power could act beyond that. The latest report which came out in november said that iran now has 12 times more than the permitted amount of 300 kilograms of enrich uranium, putting its stockpile at nearly 4000 kilograms, the killing of most and factories out there. Now this motion in parliament are all just adding pressure to their honey administration in the last few months that they have left in office. President summer heidi has already said that iran will avenge the death of the high ranking official. But whats clear now is that he doesnt want to be the remans to do so. For such a party aljazeera at least 4 people including a baby, were killed after a car was driven through a pedestrian shopping street in germany. Police in the southwestern city of 3 year are questioning a 51 year old suspect, who was arrested at the scene.
