Ive ever made Donald Trumps 46 minute outburst the u. S. President repeats unsubstantiated claims of forward in an election he lost after nearly 2 decades of war a breakthrough in peace talks between the taliban and the Afghan Government. And one step short of famine the u. N. Ones of a looming food crisis for thousands of people in bikini. Starting in the United States the country hardest hit by the corona virus and in the past 24 hours more than 2700 americans have died from cove it 19 the highest daily death toll since april for the 1st time hospital admissions also topped 100000 in the u. S. And 200000 new cases reported another record and leads to the head of the u. S. A centers for Disease Control warning that by february another 200000 people could be dead from the virus. So were in that range potentially now. To see if 100 to 2000 to 2500. From this farm so you know the mortality concerns are real. And i do think unfortunately before we see february we could be close to form 50000 americans have died from these farms and so officials are now racing to follow the u. K. To approve a vaccine by pfizer as early as next week approval for the madonna vaccine could follow soon after the u. S. Health secretary says he hopes 40 percent of adults could be immunized within 3 months we can make our 1st shipments of vaccine to state this month and were on track to be able to ship enough vaccine for 20000000. 00 americans before the end of the year of course were all eager to have enough supply vaccinate every american who wants it and because of operation works feed we expect to be at that point in the spring vaccines will only bring this pandemic to an end if enough americans choose to take these vaccines and in the u. K. They find biotech kovan 1000 vaccine will be administered to high risk groups within days the u. K. Is the 1st western country to approve such a vaccine over and has our report from london. The approval of a vaccine almost exactly a year since coded 901st emerged in china is a triumph for science the final trial data for the pfizer buy on tech vaccine was only submitted to the u. K. Regulator the m h r a a week ago but as a result of a process of rolling approval examining data even as the trials were taking place the regulator has been able to move swiftly and confidently to declare it effective and safe the safety of the vaccine has been scrutinized independently by our commission on human medicines and no stone has been left unturned so absolute confidence in the Safety Effectiveness and quality of the pfizer violent tech vaccine. Brussels airport has been demonstrating its refrigerated cargo facilities in expectation of a major role in distributing the belgian made vaccine britain has bought 40000000 doses of the pfizer buy on tech jobs in the 1st 800000 doses will be shipped to the u. K. Within days were packing vials of vaccine as we speak only shipping in the next 2448 hours the 1st batches to the u. K. 10000000. 00 doses will be delivered by the end of the year and the remainder will arrive during 2021 will no longer resting on the mere hope that we can return to normal next year. In the spring but rather the sure and certain knowledge that we will succeed and together reclaim our lives and all the things about our lives that we love there are still challenges this specific vaccine needs to be kept within minus 70 celsius and minus 80 celsius meaning that hospitals will almost certainly have to be the main hubs for distribution but it can be kept for up to 5 days at normal fridge temperature between 2 degrees and 8 degrees celsius individuals need to japs 21 days apart for full protection and in the u. K. A committee called the j c v i says elderly care home residents and their carers will be 1st in line you know order to protect the most vulnerable we have prioritized the most vulnerable individuals 1st the other element is protection of the n. H. S. The health and social care system because by protecting the n. H. S. We protect lives the challenge now is to manufacture and distribute the quantities required to meet what will inevitably be extraordinary demand britain has a head start but the United States has ordered 100000000 doses of the pfizer biotech jab and the European Union 200000000 there are several other vaccines undergoing final stage trials and vaccine candidates by madonna and Oxford Astra Zeneca have been submitted to regulators with the u. K. s approval pfizer bio on tac are leading the field the options for tackling this Global Pandemic are likely to get even wider within a matter of weeks paul brennan aljazeera london the World Health Organizations also reviewing the pfizer biotech vaccine for emergency listing that would be the benchmark for other countries to authorize national use it could take however developing nations months to get access. We need to develop more vaccines we should stop we need more least 3 or 4 we need to increase production we need to pull the price down we need wed love a 1. 00 vaccine because the all of the action so far 2 doses so the innovation is not finished we need the research to continue we need everyone to support our research into the news and facebook and twitter put warnings on a 46 minute speech from previous President Donald Trump on social media where he repeated unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud trump said it could be the most important speech hes ever made continues to allege that the election was stolen from him which has not been proven at the ballot box or in court even what im saying now will be demeaned and disparaged but thats ok i just keep on Going Forward because im representing 74000000 people and in fact im also representing all of the people that didnt vote for me trumps speech was a long list of unfounded claims that have been dismissed by judges as an official reports from washington d.

He adds ive been with us to talk about this a tech an Investment Analyst and cohost of the china tech invest a podcast joining us from bangkok today. So out of every crisis comes some sort of positive. For the likes of slick and zoom and any other number of apps like this they kind of needed Something Like this in there to become truly relevant. I dont know if they needed. But i think that what it definitely has done it has x. But i did their arrival in a lot of areas a lot of when they were neglected even though everyone knew they were kind of going to become more of the new normal over time but now everyone sees it right so you know whether its me or you or or anyone else who is working from home were actually seeing how important these tools are and businesses those are saying how important these tools are. Advertisement the few years ago for some of these you know Workplace Software i think we see ok will determine you know how your business succeeds now were actually seeing that that used to really do impact whether or not a business and the right so with that realization i think weve seen that just the valuations of these Companies Just go through the roof and because of that what were seeing is investment is going into it and these companies are and the Big Companies in the room are still are really trying to prioritize that at this point thinking about. Maybe this is just my nature im thinking about the pitfalls of it and what these companies will have to worry about im guessing security is one of the big ones i know a lot of people where im comfortable using zune for example i mean do you think that a company can almost run itself slack and do it safely. Well were seeing that companies are doing this now i mean you cant i dont think in really writing a whole company on slack because this isnt why sales force acquire them slack is really a collaboration and a chat its what millennium gens these are using instead of email but what were seeing in this is this is what Microsoft Teams has kind of created oracle a lot of ways and what sales force is really trying to build is the platform and i station of remote work so the idea of creating a full ecosystem so we can chat with c. R. With your your h. R. With your finance and basically everything on one digital cloud ecosystem so that they can run their entire company remotely saniel what innovation has to come in the sort of area im just thinking that these apps have so we started with by sick messaging apps the what sets on the telegrams we moved to the likes of slack skype sort of was the Industry Standard for Video Conferencing now everyone zunes because theyre a little changes along the way each time out they if you were a company wanting to be can still be relevant what do you think is the next thing you need to fold into this platform. Well the question that that i would always Ask Companies is in what way are you essential face to face you know physical interactions and moving them into the Digital Space now what were doing right now the Video Conference has been around for a while but there are so many of these kind of nuanced aspects to do working physically in the same faith that a lot of these tech tools need to be compensating for so for example what were saying with some of these digital comics is that are going on you know i recently. Did in one where i had an invitation for coffee which would happen which is what would happen in a real time for the physical conference but the software that we were using allowed somebody to actually invite someone else to coffee so. The way in which their innovating in the space platform is to take some of these physical real world experiences and integrate them into the Digital Space and thats where were seeing the innovation happen quick pop quiz before you go do you know why slack is called slack i have no idea a 10 year searchable log of all conversation and knowledge ok they had a very interesting.
