Administrations desire to end the blockade of qatar in the next 2 months. And she is on the streets of peru as a former World Bank Official is chosen to become the president , you know, in the middle of a serious political crisis. And that same crisis affecting sports as messy in argentina, head to peru for a world cup qualifier taking place with tight security. So the situation in northern ethiopia continues to worsen today. Rebels have refused to give in to the government 3 days ago. Prime minister that issued an ultimatum, he said, stand down or face more attacks. And then choose day. He delivered on that threat. The air force carried out strikes near the raid main city of mecca. Les, this is the primary base for the take rate. Peoples liberation from the if which governs in that area. Im going to read said the attacks will continue until the t. P. S. Is brought to justice, and its leaders are replaced in the United Nations and foreign leaders of call for mediation or requests which has been largely ignored by both sides. In fact, the government deployed extra troops on monday and as those soldiers move in the People Living there, a heading out in their drugs, an estimated 25000 are crossed the border into neighboring cities. This is crucial to the what 50000 people you know, with no easy life in the middle east to be able to stand up to the services youre in. It should be your job, your ceasefire. It was missing the end of the service providers. And you can see some stories of the assistance provision, much more needs to be done. Mahato is our correspondent, of course is on the phone now in the, in the in ethiopian. Is this looking more and more like a case mohamed of neither side, backing down . Kemal, the Government Forces their eyes on the killing of the couple of the tickler region as they say theyve been cutting out on the outskirts of the capital of the to very rigid and security sources. The last of the next 48 hours will be really crucial in these flight. The European Security forces cut out a motive pronged attack on mckennitt a couple of particular religion. Because to get Peoples Liberation phonte is putting on stiff resistance. Theyve lost some towns of close of 100 columns of a couple told and theyre cleaning that been cleaning for most of the past one off weeks. That editorial and Government Forces are helping Prime Minister these falls. Thats something that has been outside it tonight where the government, another suburb of, but they say they are sure that the 16 divisions from at a train fighting alongside Prime Minister these forces and no one wants any mediation with the government, certainly doesnt want any mediation from any other country or group mahmut . No, not a moment. The government faced International Community and all those who have an interest in ethiopia and want to see a peaceful resolution should give them time because they say theyve been, its been a long time. No war, no peace between the ticket to a positive direction front on Prime Minister, these government to see them all coming out of security across a concrete impunity. 6 and was privatised, the government one is to deal with this issue one, some fall some polling a week or so ago. The leader of the tickler people to phone to the cairo incinerator, that they were ready for peace. But so far that military and his government did not talks these secure to chill to disinter its so thats mohammed with an update on the line from ethiopia. Thank you for that mohammed and now from todd is with us. Hes a fellow at the university of london, the northern specialist on the horn of africa, and its nice to have you with us, mark. And i guess i can go a little bit more big picture with you after weve heard from mohammed about whats happening on the ground. Thinking about Prime Minister abu ahmed, who is very hardline at the moment, you know, give up or, you know, or we will attack further and he wants to basically dislodge this. This to great leadership, says a man has been lauded a lot for the democratic changes. Hes brought into ethiopia in the last 2 years. Well, thats absolutely true. But i mean, why should we forget that he is a priest material . Sometimes he almost sounds as if hes speaking with the blessing of the almighty. And you know, he is essentially who doesnt really listen to outside advice in this respect and goes on in a sense is his gut feeling. And its instinct. Dont forget also that he grew up in the, came up in the Security Services of the ethiopians. And he is really a very much a hard liner in some ways is actually quite close to the kind of low that mr. Putin is in russia. And to that end, he doesnt want us mentioning it to mohammed there on the phone. He doesnt want any mediation, and this is a tradition where we look to groups like the african union, United Nations for that all that would be eco was in the lights, but he doesnt want any of that involvement. Do you think that could change . He could bend on that because im sure all the people who are having to flee into sudan would like someones help. Well, absolutely, but i mean in a sense it. d depends on what unfolds on the battlefield. If the, the eritreans really have 16 divisions along the northern border and the federal forces are attacking from the south that you, grans could lose a great deal of the land and they might even lose cities. What people forget about this is that this is not a battle about cities about area and about land. Its a battle about grit and determination. And you know, in that sense the 2 grains have a much stronger hand than it would appear. Because although they are isolated at the moment, they can easily go into the hills and its the mountains. They fought for 20 years from those mountains, and they could do it again. The 2 grand basically believe in guerrilla warfare, not conventional warfare, which is the warfare they fighting right now. And it, but if they lose the conventional war, theyll return to the guerrilla war. And then they are in a much more powerful position. And Prime Minister abu situation become much more difficult, graphically speaking, obviously were focused on the north of the country. But another of my guests i spoke to yesterday said how this highlights the regional nature of ethiopia, 10 or so different regions. Is this the kind of situation which could even be replicated elsewhere . Absolutely, i mean Prime Minister ivy, although he comes from the roma ethnic group, has lost the support of the aroma of people and was implicated in the death of one of their favorite singers. And has locked up many of their politicians that the roma may turn against him. They are the largest it nic group. In the country about a 3rd of the population. The somalis may also say to themselves, why are we sending our children to die in northern ethiopia, when we have nothing really in common with other groups, they say take a similar view. So it is certainly possible that this situation could disintegrate internally. And it was a very important warning from extremely see any american diplomats, people like johnny carsons. It was a form. This is the secret of state for african affairs. And he warned before this conflict really got going, that the situation in ethiopia was extremely fragile. And this could see each see that rule are just state collapse in modern history. No, i have no idea what thatll happen, but its certainly a possibility. The wider context, the history, its really important in this story and i must, im glad we could talk to you about it. Thank you. On to other news, in the trumpet, ministration is embarking on a string of Foreign Policy changes as its time in the white house draws to a close. Its expected to reduce the number of troops in both afghanistan and iraq, to around 2 and a half 1000 stopping short of trumps goal to have all troops in afghanistan, home by christmas. But still drawing criticism even from with his own party, erupted. Withdraw of u. S. Forces from afghanistan now would hurt our allies and the light the light. For people who wish us harm violence of fighting afghans are still rampant. The taliban is not about him, but other conditions of the socalled peace deal. The consequences of a premature american exit would likely be even worse than president obamas withdrawal from iraq back in 2011, which your view of the raj and a new round of global terrorism. So thats iraq and afghanistan is also another report out of the us suggesting just last week, donald trump ask officials for options on attacking. Irans main nuclear side apparently was talked out of it is although sanctions are still on the table. And theres also talk of the trumpet ministration, planning to designate yemens hurt the rebels as a terrorist organization. The public cation Foreign Policy says its another initiative in the works before joe biden takes over in january. So james dos is with us now from the National University of Singapore Middle East Institute to discuss some of this nice to have you with us, james. I guess we have to remember that there is only one president at a time. Yes, joe biden is president elect and were all thinking about what he might do, but it is the president s prerogative to do what he wants. And these are the things that he has said he would do in these 4 years maybe is just kind of rushing them through. I think what youre seeing is that too much as his legacy, with other words, a legacy that will allow him to exit with successes in his mind rather than whining over a last election and successes that would, could help him. Were he to decide to run for another president ial term in 2024 . And presumably these are the kind of thing. Well, thank you. Maybe not presumably others, the kind of things that could be immediately or quickly reversed by joe biden, post january 2020, january that he thinks that drawing down troops wasnt a good idea. He could change the mind. Well, i think there are a number of things which he may do, which are going to be difficult for joe biden. So if he were to entertain an attack on iran that would complicate a return to negotiations with iran and the nuclear chord. Similarly, we have to see what kind of sanctions he is likely to still impose on iran. In one of the last rounds, for example, those sanctions were imposed not as part of the maximum pressure with regard to the nuclear court, but thats counterterrorism sanctions. And that makes them much more harder to, to, to rescind. So if its goal is as much his own legacy as it is trying to limit what biden can and cannot do. Just saying, as you mentioned, iran, joe biden has talked about, or the idea of rejoining the iran nuclear deal, the j. C. P l a. I mean we say that rejoining it, is it that easy or would it speak quite a process to happen . I think its going to be a difficult process and its going to take political will. So on the part of the united states, its going to be domestic opposition. And clearly if the senate were to remain in Republican Party control. But also the rangers are just going to simply walk back to the agreement. Theyre going to demand that guarantees that the next administration doesnt walk a back away from it. Theyre going to demand that damages for what they perceive as the, the cost of the harsh sanctions that trump imposed. So i think you get together and negotiate a negotiation, probably through mediators about the terms on which you are going to negotiate. Before you go back to any form of agreement, right . And on the issue of troops, which we heard about from Mitch Mcconnell as well, who was actually opposing the idea of a brain on trips. Whats your thoughts on the effect this could happen if there is, this further, drawdown not so much the effect on donald trump in the u. S. , but on iraq and afghanistan. Well, obviously, i think it would have a detrimental effect. I think the interesting thing to watch here is if indeed trump were decide to pull back troops, whether or not the pentagon and the military try and slow down that process. What youve seen in the past when wanted to draw down troops from out of syria. The pentagon basically slow walk, didnt ultimately, trump decided to keep a small number of troops in syria. You could see the same thing happened both with afghanistan and iraq. Keep in mind that even Mitch Mcconnell has come out strongly as it were, as you had in your them earlier part of this broadcast, very strongly against that withdrawal. Comparing the situation with the withdrawal by obama in 2011, which was mcconnells words led to the rise of the islamic state. Joining us from Singapore Today talking us Foreign Policy. Thank you very much for your time. We really appreciate it. Thank you for having me. We are 15 minutes past this news hour and heres whats coming up on super happy to be a part of this and try and help bring some kind of these are not a breakthrough in the race for a vaccine against covert 19, with the latest on the progress made by the u. S. Pharmaceutical firm and on the streets of bangkok, protesters are once again hit with all the kind of police trying to stop the antigovernment demonstrations. Its been sporty, n. F. L. Star, who said to me several games with broken ribs and a collapsed lung. So as were talking about there, the Top Administration looking to seal some final Foreign Policy victories before leaving office. One of those is a diplomatic push to resolve the blockade of gaza under schapelle has more on that the secretary of state is back in the region to drum up support for normalization deals between israel and some arab states, increase pressure on iran and make some headway in talks to end the blockade of cattle, like pompei, it was due in doha and riyadh in the days ahead. This is us cattery and saudi officials have signaled in recent weeks that a breakthrough may be near. On monday, u. S. National security adviser, Robert Obrian added to speculation, telling the Global Security forum hosted in part by cats. That an air bridge may be on the table, allowing Qatar Airways to fly over saudi and bahraini airspace. So wed like to get that rich soft measured cutter air, was it because it was able to fly over saudi air space or bahrain airspace is an important 1st step in solving that rift. Id like to see that get done before it. If we end up leaving office, qatars foreign minister says the blockade which has dragged into a 4th year has no winner. Everyone is losing. We are hopeful that this i think, moment and what we need to lie now is to have a serious engagement in a good faith with other countries. And this is what i was prepared to do. A monarchy to show it is accused of supporting terrorism, which they say that anybody who talks to anybody in the Muslim Brotherhood or allows free elections or talks to iran and the saudis number that is really have discredited themselves quite a bit. And its surprising that they havent found a face saving way to end this blockade, but lets hope this, this maybe in the u. A. E. May be a spoiler for any proposed agreement. As a brian was speaking of a resolution to the gulf crisis being a priority for the trumpet ministration. The u. S. Ambassador to washington was saying, otherwise, well look at that rift. I dont think its going to get resolved anytime soon. Its a small problem. Its not really being addressed, not on anyones, you know, priority list right now. But the u. A. E. And other blockading countries are under pressure. The u. S. Thinks better relations between the gulf countries will help its policy of isolating iran. And they face accusations by a un special rapporteur to work that the measures imposed on cats are, are a violation of fundamental rights aimed at limiting freedom of expression, movement and trade. And are schapelle aljazeera. Americas top diplomat is in turkey today, part of a 10 day tour of the middle east and europe might pompei or there wont be meeting turkish politicians or officials and spending the day in talks with religious leaders in istanbul, pompei also to visit georgia israel and a number of countries here in the gulf. Lets go to istanbul, simcoe, syria, correspondent. What happened to effectively, what happens, why would an american top diplomat head there or not meet anyone, official wellcome, all of this is asked of the Turkish Foreign minister as well. What we have been hearing from both sides is that mr. Phone kaos schedule in istanbul has been packed. Thats why he wanted to meet president , add on istanbul, if there would be a bailable, which was turned down by just turkish presence. Also, he told the Turkish Foreign ministry that if they want to meet him, it should be in istanbul because he has a very tight schedule. This was also rejected by the Turkish Foreign ministry as well, because this is mr. Von 1st. 2nd visit to turkey. Turkish officials claim that he had only one by later a visit to turkey, which was with the Vice President by hanssen in late 2901. 00 trick. He was conducting an operate military operation in Northern Syria against a kurdish fighters group. Why peachey . Thats why the turkish officials that if you want to meet the turkish officials, it should be in the turkish capital ankara, as for the diplomatic presence. But he was very busy. Thats why these meetings were intended. Old neither in istanbul, nor in the capital ankara come up. Ok, thats in istanbul. Thank you. Know, oxfam says the g 20 member countries have sold 17000000000. 00 worth of arms to saudi arabia ever since it intervened in yemen as war in 2015. This report from the Charity Organization says that is actually 3 times what is going to yemen in 8. Reports been released as g 20 leaders prepare to meet virtually this week for a summit, hosted by saudi arabia of sun come all is from oxfam. Joining us from london to discuss this its, its, its shocking, but maybe not surprising. I mean, we know that business deals, arms deals, money will always trump everything else. But to find that its actually this much money going to arms and that small amount going to yemen in aid is quite extraordinary. Thank you. Come on the yes, it is quite extraordinary to see that level of business happening. And its very difficult as yemen rolls into 60 year of conflict. To watch the situation in the country and unravel with the death destruction and level of disease and infection in the country. And as we, as we work, as humanitarian organizations to respond to the coronavirus, were seeing a dramatic drop in a low level of response for in the humanitarian funding levels. And were only seeing around 40 percent of, of the humanitarian appeal being funded to date. As i read through some of the key points from your report, it just, it leaves you with the question of why, why so little aid is given. As i said, we know why business deals happen. An arms deal happen because they bring in a lot of money and you can look at a report from any year in any country and see how much money is made from that. But is that the same g 20. 00 countries dont care about yemen that its just gone so far off the right and old. Its the old cliche of how important these forgotten crises are. And we need to ensure that they are there. They are present and we need to use we need to call on World Leaders today to, to take responsibility. Use the momentum of the g 20 this week to ensure that there are sufficient talks around the humanitarian funding shortfall and gaps. So the response, which is the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, it must get their attention. And ultimately as many yemenis say to us on a day, day in day out basis. What is needed in the country is an inclusive Peace Process and an immediate cease fire. And that should be on the table at the g 20 and given sufficient bandwidth by World Leaders to ensure that happens. Speaking of bandwidth, as you mentioned that it is a virtual g. 20, isnt it . Hosted by saudi arabia, but and there is a lot of focus on this g. 20 saying ive even heard people saying countries should, should boycott it, or should raise issues of human rights and selling arms and all that. The fact is they kind of loses a lot of that in this virtual edge, doesnt it . Theyve got all these countries who are just going to dial into another meeting, almost. Yes, understandably, and it is a difficult time for office for us all. Our main concern is that the humanitarian appeal gets funded and funded quickly so we can react on the ground and, and full of these. Well the just to try to come together to, to bring about some kind of peace resolution and a cease fire. Like i said before, the situation only gets west death, disease, and displacement is increasing their front lines opening every day with a really concerning escalation around the city of had a that which is one of one of the main ports feeding 20000000 people in the country. And again, raises the alarms for famine in yemen and the levels of food. So it is about time that steps are taken and really thought through by World Leaders, whether the bandwidth is on the internet or in person. Quite right. Come out from oxfam, as you say, important, we keep talking about issues like yemen, and im glad you could join us for that today. Thank you. To peru where the parliament has chosen former World Bank Official. Francisco gus, the as the new interim president , he is perus 3rd leader in a week long days of political turmoil, money, and sanchez reports now from lima legislators finally agreed to seal the power vacuum they selected 76 year old, francisco sas, the hospitals Congress President , and the such the countrys new interim president , he immediately addressed the political crisis. You know his family really wondering what we are seeing on the streets now is the anger that we must recognize, accept and channel through peaceful means to help prosper as a country. Have a day before he sworn in the signaled the new government will listen to the concerns of young peruvians. The noise today is not a day of celebration because weve seen the deaths of 2 young protesters who expressed a point of view democratically and practically without violence. We cannot bring them back to life, but we can from congress, take measures in order for this not to happen again. Died of metal pellet wounds on monday in these family and friends gave him a traditional for will with andy and music downloads and tears. This will be the norm. It is. My nephew doesnt deserve to be there. Lying in a coffin, he was a young student working to pay for his studies. We are in terrible pain. He died defending the nation. The attorney general has opened a preliminary investigation against him and will maybe know his former cabinet chief and interior minister for homicide and force disappearance and abuse of power. Well, i can assure you that these deaths will not go unpunished. This election may begin to diffuse a week of political upheaval, a precedent was impeached, and another ousted after only 5 days in office. However, it is not guaranteed to be the end of the political crisis. Has a new government, a none of its members have a criminal investigation is pending. But these protests and the millions of their sympathizers at home. Now know they can fight the political class. And when they do we are getting some news in of at least 80 People Killed and Dozens Injured after the engine of a boat exploded. Here it is on the map. North Atlantic City near cape verde, off the western coast of africa. About 150 people thought to be on board this boat, mainly from senegal and gambia, apparently making its way from cape to spain and the reports we have are of at least 80 of those 150 or so People Killed and dozens more injured. Well bring you more on that as soon as we get is in the meantime, a look at the international weather, his effort to hello there. Well hurricane iota now in the process of pushing across northern parts of nicaragua, weakening quite rapidly. Now its the equivalent of a category 2 hurricane on the surface. Simpson scale 165 kilometers per hour. Significantly higher gusts, those gusts still capable of causing catastrophic damage. And remember, this storm has made landfall just 20 kilometers away from where 8 or made landfall. Just 2 weeks ago, life threatening storm surge, flash flooding that is likely. And mudslides as well through the remainder of tuesday that wetter weather, the windy weather that will drive its way across northern parts of nicaragua, throwing lots of heavy rain into honduras, and eventually a lot of heavy rain to into guatemala. Come wednesday. The storm will weaken further, and it will eventually push east way out into the open waters of the eastern pacific, but plenty of showers or longer spells of rain coming in across much of Central America as we go through the next 2 or 3 days, maybe 500 millimeters or more for some of those spots. Wet weather to into the western side of the u. S. And notice telling rather wintry across the pacific northwest, that cold air also driving its way down across into California Water thought it was welcome. Further east. Its largely dry, but pretty cold to the east coast. So morphy, you on this news are locked out of citizenship rights, were made to meet people in some way, who are stateless in the country. They were born in the most powerful storm this year. You sort of thing talking about aid agencies, the catastrophic damage in sport or tennis player using all the tricks in the book.

Everyone comes to would benefit by the abuse of power and corruption, jolo hunt for a fugitive on a on the news here al jazeera and these are the top stories. Ethiopias air force says it has carried out strikes near the main city of the ticket, a region in the north. The Prime Minister said the 3 day ultimatum given to the tikrit forces to surrender is now. Your secretary on players arrived in turkey, part of a 10 day tour of the middle east, and europe is not meeting any politicians or officials in tokyo, has decided to meet religious leaders, and oxfam says g 20 member countries have sold 17000000000. 00 worth of bombs to saudi arabia since it intervened in yemen, is more than 2015. The charity says that is 3 times whats going to yemen in a sense, will stay with saudi arabia, members of the u. K. Parliament, hearing testimony from human Rights Groups about the detentions in saudi arabia of 2 senior princes and rights activists. Theyre investigating the whereabouts and allegations of abuse by saudi arabia of these high profile detainees, including King Solomons brother, and the former crown Prince Mohammed bin nayef. Lets talk to paul brennan, in london. Why is this happening . Whats, whats brought this particularly to the attention of the u. K. Parliament . Now its interesting, i think the timing is actually mainly because of the g. 20 summit thats taking place in riyadh in just 5 days from now, november 21st to the 22nd. And i mind my reading of it, its to coincide with that because its not an official parliamentary committee. Nevertheless, its been chaired by a conservative m. P. Crispin blunt, and that were in this zuma meeting that hes convened. Human rights activists, people from human rights watch. There are also relatives, as you said, as you spoke of activists whove been jailed in saudi arabia discussing what the situation is and shining, a light on the situation in saudi arabia who had flu, whos the sister jane, a husband with this woman, very famous around the world for campaigning, for womens rights to drive in saudi arabia whos been in prison in saudi arabia since 2018, and who according to the family as been tortured while shes been in custody there. And weve also testimony from sorry, forgive me, due to of who is the son of a prominent cleric who has been in prison since 2017, essentially for tweeting for greater reform within the saudi political structure. And thats the clamp down is exactly what these activists are saying needs to be looked at more closely in particular in the light of the g. 20 being that what theyre essentially saying, if i can sum it up, is that saudi arabia presents to the outside world a kind of whitewashed presentation of what the situation is like in the kingdom and the image of the kingdom to the outside world, while internally and gauging in repression. And sort of, you know, the lack of proper penal code and judicial process. A lot of focus on saudi arabia isnt there with the g 20. Thank you. Paul brennan, in london. Now police in thailand have used water cannon to disperse antigovernment demonstrators in bangkok, protests calling for the resignation of the Prime Minister that have been ongoing since july. They say the constitution drafted the under military rule in the gym. Its there also demanding a reform of the countrys monarchy. And supporters of thailands royal family held a separate rally, backing, making hundreds of royalists march to the parliament in bangkok, demanding the preservation of the mana roll. So scott, hide in bangkok for a scot, tell us about where you are and what youve been saying, you know, this protest was the reason were all here actually is because the parliament, which is just off to the right here by they are having the 1st reading of the 7, the proposed amendments to the constitution. And as you mention those who support the monarchy here, they dont want any change the constitution. There are 6 other proposed changes. Theyre going to be 2 days of reading the protesters, the antigovernment protesters. These are the numbers weve seen swell on the streets of thailand over the last several months. They have to go back to one of these proposed amendments to the constitution and thats why theyre here now. And whats very interesting come out now i would say within the last 45 minutes, were right on the edge of the property where the parliament is. The police had kept the protesters at least 50 meters away. Within the last 45 minutes, the police had at least 2 lines of riot cops behind me, and a few water cannon trucks in front of them. And we saw them distribute, administer chemical laced blue water, purple water that had been going on for about 2 hours. But then just the last 45 minutes, the police were treated, they went down that road and why thats important, obviously, yes, because they wanted to come here. The protesters, the protest in front of parliament. But the flashpoints that everyone has been very concerned about is these 2 sets of protesters seen each other. I dont know, and this is the 1st time. Its happened where its been mildly by, ill say mildly, because it only lasted a bit. It was quite violent. So once the attic government protesters came into this intersection, the promonarchy, the yellow shirts, they are down at this hour. As you mentioned, all they marched here earlier in the day. Hundreds that stayed here, id say a few 1000 oxygenate here. Down the south, the police were guarding that they also were 21, the other policemen to 45 minutes ago. So when these antigovernment protesters came in, there was a crowd, as i would say, a sustained class for about 10, maybe 15 minutes. Water bottles, some bricks being brought back and forth, nothing major major, but thats the 1st time weve seen this in it. And that is the main concern for the government, for both supporters on either side of this protest if you will. If these 2 groups start to confront each other directly, and thats what we saw in the small scale, but we still saw it here. And now it seems to be that things have calmed down. You can see that the protesters here trying to calm everyone down and not rush through that barricade abandoned by the police that seem to have worked. But again, theres a little bit of a clash. Seems to go home now now, but you can see you can hear that then i got a front just a very happy now that theyre able to market by the street right in front of parliament. Scott, if you can still hear me, im just interested in what is different about these. But weve seen protests in thailand for many years, but theres Something Different here. The open discussion of the monarchy, protesting against them on occasion, and the longevity of these protests as well. Absolutely, that is the main difference from all. You know, weve seen different types of protests in different versions, some peaceful, some not so peaceful, worse than what weve seen over the last hour or so here. But what is the main difference . Is that and this goes into the draft of the protesters, here are some warning of that and them into the country. And that is reform within the money. This is something ive been here covering the story for politics in thailand for 8 years. That is an area a subject that has never been the rooms like it has been over these last several months. So thats why youve seen the temperature if you will elevate on both sides, theyre very adamant about having them on a key reform. The, the yellow shirts, the promonarchy rallies today they want. Ringback to save as it is, so that is the main difference im on. And when you look at my lines history, the royal family always been a very Central Point of the country. That is a big thing to do, you know not so i was being said overwhelming support on the side and tensions always come together like scott. Hi there in amongst the protests there in bangkok. Thank you. Scott, for that outside u. S. Farm. Pharmaceutical modernity says it plans to seek emergency approval for its covert 900 vaccine within weeks, its version has proven to be nearly 95 percent effective. So theres now 2 vaccines showing promise. Promising late stage results and fishes this report from the white house the number of cases this sort of states are bringing back but dont reinstating limits on gatherings. Closing schools 1000000 new cases were reported in just 6 days. The virus is killing more than 1000 people in america each day against the backdrop. Another drug company has announced it has made a breakthrough in the hunt for a vaccine. But dana says its drug in early tests shows its 94 percent effective. We have a lot of work ahead of us knowing the vaccine is going to be a fact. It is great news, but we still need to complete the regulatory process. The Company Hopes to have the 1st 20000000 doses ready to go before the end of the year, front line workers and those most at risk will be treated 1st before theres a bigger rule out. Thats led americas top corporate expert to warn people. They cant relax just yet, the virus is not going to stop and call a timeout. While things change the virus is just going to keep going. The process is just going to keep going. This is something that just is now going in the very, very strong right direction.
