Against their government protesters in pakistan demand the Prime Minister and his cabinet step down. But it should be e. U. Leaders say breaks it talks will go on abandoning a selfimposed deadline for a trade deal ahead of the e. U. Commission us live on the lane says both sides agreed in a crisis call to go the extra mile saying some topics deserve more discussion. Despite the exhaustion after almost one year of negotiations and despite the fact that that lines have been missed over and over we both think that it is responsible at this point in time to go the extra mile. We have accordingly mandated our negotiators to continue the taffs and to see whether no reach an agreement can be reached even at this late stage. Well there have been several sticking points including access by french fishing boats to british waters theres also the socalled level Playing Field which is ensuring fair and open competition now if the 2 sides dont reach an agreement by december 31st there will be border checks and taxes for goods traveling between the u. K. And the e. U. Paul brennan is in brussels for us paul just talk of the biggest concerns are for the e. U. In all of this. The biggest lets start by remembering that according to both sides 97 percent of this delays already agreed so its only about 3 percent but its a fundamental matters of principle that are entailed in those 3 percent and what were talking about is britains expressed desire to diverged from the European Union regulations and rules that was at the very essence of what britain feels the brics it was all about to escape from underneath as it sees it european rules from the european side they also insistent that the integrity of the Single Market this bloc of 27. 00 countries trading freely with exactly the same rules and regulations among all 27. 00 the integrity of that Single Market has to be protected and they dont want britain as a near neighbor diverging from those rules perhaps undercutting introducing state. Changing environmental and labor restrictions or rules and thereby gaining an unfair advantage on the near neighbors the european competitors theres a lot of money at stake the u. K. For example exports some 400000000000. 00 worth of trade to the European Union the e. U. Exports to the u. K. Around 500000000000. 00 worth of trade so theres a lot of money at stake and a lot of pressure to get this solved however they seem to be breaking down on this fundamental principle of how to. Manage the divergence as britain goes one way on the European Union protected Single Market depending on who you talk to paul it does seem some people think that the 2 sides are closer than theyre giving the impression that but we did hear a couple of hours ago from the u. K. Prime minister who really seem to be setting people up for a no break no deal braggs it well things have certainly moved certainly at least in the last week we saw Cabinet Office minister michael gove saying that they would accept a kind of non regression type of mechanism where britain would pledge not to water down its environmental protections and its rules and regulations from where they are at the moment closely aligned with the European Union and we also live on the land at the end of the european summit that ended on friday saying that they wouldnt necessarily expect britain to increase or upgrade its rules and regulations to match increases in european rules and regulations but if there was a divergence there would have to be changes to the way britain accessed the Single Market so there has been some movement its just that there hasnt been enough movement for both sides to sign off on Boris Johnson in london after having spoken on the telephone to us live on the land today was pretty bleak as to how he sees the prospects of success lets have a listen. We are always happy to talk make progress where we can i do think as i say there is a deal to be done if our partners want to do it but we remain very far apart on these key issues and they are u. K. Cant be locked into the e. U. Regulatory albeit weve obviously got to take back control of our fisheries full of years after people voted for it. We had it theyre locked into a regulator orbit of the European Union im not sure if thats a misunderstanding or a misinterpretation the fact is though that we have no deadline now is set apart from the deadline that is presented by december the 31st when the transition period ends and what were hearing across europe from businesses from exports from paul is is that they are totally uncertain as to what kind of trading conditions they are going to have to face and prepare for in the intervening weeks while these talks seem to go on and on paul thanks very much indeed paul brennan in brussels for us. Well alan later as a Research Fellow at u. K. In a changing europe he says the pressure will continue to build on the british Prime Minister over the next 2 weeks the odds of a deal still to be in the balance probably more likely than not that there will be a deal because of the political tradeoffs that are going to be necessary bars johnson to sign up to the sort of deal that the e. U. Is is offering even if there is. A lot of fear about no deal in the in the u. K. The sort of level of. Of alignment that the eve is asking for and the and the legal to discern and see that it wants that the u. K. Wont diverged from the means that its going to very hard sell the course johnson mr bracks if you like to sign up to something which is obviously you know that inevitably as with any trade deal going to sort of reduce the u. K. s ptolemy and sovereignty like if theres no deal theyll be a huge amount of destruction on day one huge you know an inability for all basic goods to get in and out of the u. K. Any sort of speed to the going to be sort of real difficulty and the manufacturing as well as in sort of the supply of basic goods like food so thats the real potential short term destruction of a new deal for peoples day to day lives the victims of them significant evidence of economic and economic hit will come just as where moving out of the recovery from from cave at 19 so thats why as as as as the possibility of an idea of direct approaches d over the next few weeks the political pressure on Boris Johnson to sign up to something which may be set up tomorrow in his view in terms of his position to regulate on regulation or sovereignty will increase. The 1st doses of pfizers Coronavirus Vaccine theyre being delivered in the u. S. Its hoping to immunize 100000000. 00 people by april pfizers using containers with dry eyes and g. P. S. Enabled sensors to ensure each shipments room remains at minus 70 celsius workers in michigan who are preparing more containers for the next shipment the elderly and Health Care Workers will be the 1st to get the vaccine john hendren has been following developments from washington d. C. This is an Immunization Program unlike any weve ever seen not just in our lifetimes but in the recent in the past century or so logistically it is challenging with the keeping everything its negative 70 degrees centigrade also just the massive scale of the distribution we heard today from an official from operation warp speed that is the program to develop vaccines here in the u. S. Who said they expect 40000000. 00 doses to be delivered by the end of the year and possibly 50 to 80000000 more doses in january joe biden the incoming president of the United States says he wants 100000000 doses delivered in this country of a little more than 300000000 in his 1st 100 days in office so you can understand why employees it finds are applauded when the 1st trucks left that facility went out to fed ex in u. P. S. Hubs in order to distribute for the 1st doses of that vaccine 145. 00 locations are expected to receive them on monday and by ones day 636. 00 locations will have received them if everything goes to plan will come and when it is if it all exists at Lancaster University he explains the challenges of distributing the vaccine. If we look on to the vaccine efficacy of course the fight and they are close to 90 to 95 percent which is certainly beyond our expectation but when we go on to the next generation of vaccines for example talking about the spinal farm in the u. A. E. That as a 92 percent i think its you thats what they proposed at least sputnik 5 is almost at the same that last year to be 70 percent so once the 1st. Front runner vaccines will be taken up by most of the nations we were left with the vaccine those are probably at least demand in these countries that would be posing and other challenge to distribute because even for example if we teach to 50 percent of the population in the developing were correct and that is 50 percent effective basically we are covering only 25 percent of the population which isnt sufficient enough to establish your immunity and it has been a certain level of vaccine it has a chance even before the close of 19th and but it has intensified because primarily the rumors and the speed of the Vaccine Development and probably more importantly their trust and this is even more penetrated into the black. Minorities i mean if we talk about the u. K. Itself i mean in london one of the sort of indicated that only 40 percent of the black people will take the vaccine compared to 70 percent in the. English white so that is really a big difference and that is going to be one of the major challenges how to build trust and that has to be trained really by the government to bring all the stakeholders on board because until we dont really immunized 75 percent of the population we are not achieving the herd immunity and we wouldnt be breaking the transmission chain of this infection and germany is going back into lockdown chancellor Angela Merkel says action must be taken to stop the spread of the virus the Prime Minister very is warning the situation in his state is out of control measures include scoffing shops and schools and limiting the social contacts until the middle of january. When the reading.

Brazil is one of the many countries across latin america pinning their hopes on the corona virus vaccine but as people wait the number of deaths and infections is rising reports from going to service.

Will spend less because the future is so unclear its not easy what we really want is that the vaccine arrives as soon as possible. The vaccines are that light at the end of a long tunnel but it will take time to see there are effects and precautions still need to be taken thats proving a difficult message to draw.
