This may be the most important speech ive ever made trumps 46 minute outburst the u. S. President repeats unsubstantiated claims of fraud in an election he lost. And one step short of famine United Nations warns of a looming food prices for thousands of people in bikini. As we know the u. S. Is the country hardest hit by corona virus but in the past 24 hours the numbers are staggering more than 2700 americans have died from coated 19 the highest daily death toll since april for the 1st time hospital admissions have topped 100000 then you have 200000 new cases reported as well thats another record and it all led the head of the. Centers for Disease Control to warn that by february another 200000 people could be dead from the virus so were in that range potentially now of starting to see if seen 100 to 2000 to 2500 s. A day. 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 the Pfizer Vaccine maybe as early as next week approved for the maternal 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 in the u. K. The pfizer biotech covered 19 vaccine will be administered to high risk groups within days it is the 1st western country to approve such a vaccine for britain has the support 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 job 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. Well the World Health Organizations also reviewing the pfizer biotech vaccine for emergency listing but it could take developing nations months to get access. We need to develop more right change we should the stuff we need more than these 3 or 4 we need to increase production we need to pull the price down we need we love a wonderful actually because the all of the actually is so far too delicious so the innovation is not finished we need the research to continue we need everyone to support our research so lets talk about vaccines but we cant lose sight of the big numbers as well brazil for example where Health Experts are warning of a 2nd wave as authorities struggle to build it with the 1st intensive care units in sao paulo and Rio De Janeiro and are running out of beds from rio monica you know i have reports. As summer approaches and temperatures rise the beaches in Rio De Janeiro are increasingly packed. And so are the intensive care units both in public and private hospitals 90 percent of them are occupied many of them by younger patients but thats not stopping countless others who believe the couvade 19 pandemic could soon im no longer afraid of the coronavirus nobody is just look around ignoring social distancing and the use of masks is a risk that comes at a high price them we are not prepared for the 2nd wave american see field hospitals have been dismantled doctors say existing hospitals in Rio De Janeiro and sao paulo are reaching their limit and may no longer be able to cope with the increasing number of infected unless urgent measures to stop them are taken. Several. Docs that were in the front working that well. And they are all right here that. Means that we are headed on the other than a peak and and i am afraid im really afraid that december can bring to brazil this week so why are small feeling you start we are all we have. Christmas and beginning of the new year with 174000 couvade 1000 related deaths brazil has the worlds 2nd largest number of fatalities after the United States but just as the curve was beginning to fatten there was a spike more and more young people were seen in crowded bars and parties. And then there was the recent Political Campaign for mayoral elections in more than 5000 cities nationwide and as soon as the november 29 municipal elections were over the governor of the state of sawah will announce new Safety Measures a foggy. No we want to close down Economic Activities but restrict them to avoid gatherings. As of now shops bars and restaurants will only be able to operate at 40 percent of their capacity and must close by 10 pm for some it may be too little too late brazil still lacks a National Policy for dealing with the pandemic so even for researchers working on the vaccine like Margaret Talev cuomo its hard to imagine what will happen if government authours and brazilians themselves dont take the necessary precautions i dont know i dont know. I am afraid i dont know. Experts say the best hope is still the vaccine but in the best Case Scenario mass vaccination in brazil is expected to start only after march of 2021 monica and i give Rio De Janeiro all just sirrah on to other news and us President Donald Trump is giving a speech on social media repeating as unfounded allegations of Election Fraud facebook and twitter both placed warnings on the video statement a day after trumps claims were contradicted by number none other than the u. S. Attorney general report from alan fischer.

And the president hears any personnel announcement will be the 1st challenge the Electoral College will meet on december the 14th the Trump Campaign will push ahead with legal action until then donald trump says he will accept any accurate election result the states have already certified the results joe biden won and as the president elect alan fischer aljazeera at the white house iran has approved a law that would allow the resumption of higher levels of uranium enrichment it would also stop the unrestricted nuclear site access spine specters from the i.

There is no doubt the people of afghanistan are fed up with this double life and would continue that tack on our institutional Public Infrastructure of innocent lives that are being taken through attacks carried out more intensely in the past few months but the very fact that they are with violence makes it more necessary to engage more. Into peace discussions our primary the people of afghanistan primary interest to silence the guns to reach to cease fire and thats what we are committed to achieve there is. This question about the citizens by our key partners is a sort of decision of then but as long as much is depends on our side it plans to some of us than is committed both to defend and protect our people and our d constitution but also d to commit fully genuinely with good faith to reach to peaceful settlement in this war.

Black is really a collaboration and a chat app is what millennial and gen these are using instead of email but what were seeing in this is this is what Microsoft Teams have kind of created oracle a lot of ways and what sales force is really trying to build the platform and i can of remote work so the idea of creating a full ecosystem with a chat with c. R. M. With your h. R.
