Minimum. And hollywood actors more accustomed to the red carpet than the football pitch, cast their lot with a big cheer, soccer club in wales. Again, the new owners turn the club into the next liverpool or manchester united. Im Claire Richards and welcome to the show. We start with another promising breakthrough in the race for a vaccine against cove at 19. The us pharmaceutical firm says its experimental vaccine is 94. 5 percent effective. Similar to results of another vaccine being developed by pfizer and biotech expects to have enough safety data for us regulators to approve and roll out the vaccine in this year. Its nearly as since china raise the alarm about a novel current virus with the 1st class dissented in one of lou hands wet markets over 54000000. 00 cases, and more than a 1000000 deaths. The world is seeing its 2nd vial of hope in the form of the dentist kovac 1000 vaccine. This woman is one of 30000. 00 volunteers taking part in the vaccine trials, according to internal as almost 95 percent effectiveness against illness. The treatment involves 2 injections and does not have to be stored in ultra called conditions. But madonna knows theres a lot of work ahead. Knowing the vaccine is going to be a factor. It is great news, but we still need to complete the regulatory process, which involves completing the study, generating more safety. And then of course, we need to get busy manufacture. Other vaccines will be in production to another vaccine candidate created by pfizer and biotech. Also shared promising results. Both vaccines are made using whats called m r n a, a genetic code that tells cells to produce a spike protein. These cells will then fight the virus if it enters the body. But theres a huge Operational Task ahead. Billions of dollars that have to be produced, distributed and stored. And until then the World Health Organization is edging everyone to stay vigilant. Even going to doing news about 19 vaccines and remain cautiously optimistic about the potential for new tools to start to arrive in the coming months. Right . No, we are extremely concerned by the surging cases we are seeing in some countries for now masks distancing and hand washing. Also the wilds main defense. Eric feigele gang is an epidemiologist and senior fellow at the federation of american scientists. Earlier we asked him for his assessment of the new vaccine and what moderna means when they say their vaccine is nearly 95 percent effective, means that its 95 percent for the 1st placebo. So the people who got out the people got a dummy up with hugo and out of the 9590. 00 of the cases were implicity bone only 5 were in the immunized group. And so you get the 95, its just 95 percent versus which is really good because the other scene last week i find it was around 90 percent. So were getting more data that we could. This virus is vaccine, but i do want more of these are very preliminary results. Theres 30000 people and you need to follow them for months and years. So these are just a early signals, but its promising now how long the immunity last that we have to see and how many people will take it. Thats the other concern, because you could have a 100 percent effective vaccine. If only half the people take it on how to survive to prove population.

P. N. If i decide it will achieve victory any day from now neighboring era trade is now also said to be involved in the conflict. Well be talking more about that after this report. The. Thats the simple demand of these every train refugees in the tea grime, capital of well as they fled before in the late ninetys, more than 70000, people died in the border war between both european eritrea. They say, what pains the most is that this war now is a war between people who speak the same language and share the same culture. They want to to stop. But neither the european government want to talk down. If we dont fight, which is what should be done, they will record and destroy us as a people. We have information that they have decided to and reserved to the fighters. Those who attack to gripe. I will not just attack and return home. We will retaliate. We will see the fighting is having serious effects for the entire region. To grab, a admitted its forces fired rockets at neighboring eritreas capital asmara.

A bomb jaimie from the every train direction and in the tech, from the direction of the a theo, in federal government, in the city with a lot of people died there. And i came on foot. I fled from there. I was afraid of the bombs and the strikes. A lot of buildings were blown up to get aid organizations are preparing for many more refugees. The state broadcaster is showing images of towns. It says, the European Military has quote, liberated into grice. Im now joined by samuel get to cheer. Hes a freelance journalist, are joining us from the ethiopian capital, addis ababa, welcome once more to beat up in his africa. Samuel, at the beginning of this conflict, Prime Minister abbey akhmed, came on record basically saying that this conflict was an internal matter. Why is every trade and now being called into this . Well, to understand whats happening. You have to be aware that i was part of ethiopia, they got their independence in the early ninetys in their been out war since 98. 00. It was a tepee and the government started the war with and vice versa. And theyve been at it since 2018. And thats when the Prime Minister to into our became Prime Minister, and then suddenly decided to try to be in peace and engage with him and bring some sort of an engagement good enough for him to be awarded the nobel peace price last year. Ok, samuel . So the t. P. A. Live has accused eritrea of getting involved if this in this conflict. This is something that has been dissed denied by s. Mara. But what can you tell us about that . Because weve also seen that if say that they have attacked eritrea. Has there been a response to that from the eritrean side . Keeps denying that its getting involved in this internal conflicts as the Prime Minister said. Youve been Prime Minister. But even, you know, if youre here, if he keeps denying that t. P. M. Left clearly understands this war to be not just with i. B. M. And government in 97 up, but with a smile with energy out in. Thats why theyre there. What it means if they can, some of the action theyve taken, including sending missiles to us mara and damaging airports. Thats my International Airport idea. And its accusations going back and forth thats being denied strongly by the government of ethiopia, not use of samuel in the event that the eritreans to get involved, assuming that they arent involved assisting the ethiopian troops. If that was the case, could one say that this would be the beginning of the end for the t. P. M. Life having to defend itself against the Ethiopian Federal troops in addition to that . Eritrea troops. I mean, it depends on who you ask or how you look at the situation, but it would be really tough for the t. P. O. Left to fight with ethiopian one, say the Ethiopian Government, and then try to defend themselves with whatever force comes out of eritrea. You have to be aware that its a Great Mission as host of well than 200000. 00 eritrean refugees. And theres a strong bond. Theres a strong connection between the 2 people. But it has, its will be really, really difficult for the t. P. A. Left government. Or, you know, even then the Prime Minister of ethiopia has really appointed. He has a point to somebody else to be the interim government in the us in mclean. So it will be really tough to how to fi
