Potentially even months. Actually using a new technology called messenger r. N. A. Technology i wonder if you could explain not just a simple. Yes so what you tell you do not take the virus on on the journey and you take messenger r. N. A. From the end of jan after a virus and inject it to the body and the immune system cells are taking this messenger r. N. A. Inside of the cell and then producing the antigen on the surface of the cell and by that attacking the virus so this is a very neat way of of a vaccine important also is that a very different ways of that since currently produced so if this is not working for everyone then maybe the other ones are working for those in which this vaccine is not working. Seems often take upwards of 10 years to be developed yet here we are not even a year into this pandemic what will have what causes will have been caught what will not be done that usually gets done to get a vaccine this far this fast yes quick 19 is new but the coronavirus isnt so this is not like we developing a drug or with absolutely no information before so there have been some work before and that was the reason why the companies i will now do so fast to actually find a potential solution to produce a vaccine so what we have to follow is really to see whats happening on the population level is it really as effective as in the trials and or decide the facts are not so are there concerns about potential adverse long term reactions to the coby drugs being developed just because. Fish Development Process has been so contracted. I think that everyones working very carefully and specifically we are concerned about safety and so this is really this information is really collected very carefully we also know from other vaccines that they are no major aside the facts and the long term consequences obviously we know in a couple of years but taken together all the information from a lot of work since i did not expect any major consequences in particular now what we know from the from the trial short term side effects are not expected so given what weve heard and i appreciate you say it was a pressure this is a vaccine you would take i would take this vaccine if offered to me and again i would like to see the data before but this data will be released im sure and the officials in the United States as well as in europe are very carefully looking at this data before its actually released to the public so many many people are looking at this very carefully and no one has an interest that something is released which will cause side effects and issues we hope to solve the issue of kobe to solve the issue of the fundamental and hopefully that we are slowly getting back to to a life that maybe not what we used to live but certainly without the fear of a massive pandemic wave good talking to you thank you for joining us dr to be your skirt from the Balance Sheet to a hospital thank you for having me lets get reaction thats got a political reaction to this from d. W. Political correspondent tom spot a welcome thomas of whats being said about that here in germany. The Health Minister spahn said he was encouraged not only by the announcement that we have just been discussing but also by the fact that a German Company beyond tech is at least in part behind that announcement although i also fail sensed some caution in the Health Ministers were stressing that they could still be some setbacks on the this announcement does not specifically mean that we will have a vaccine ready in the next few weeks that it could still take some time before all the authorizations met an old the specific procedures are actually met so on the one hand obviously very positive but on the other hand i would i certainly send some caution as well ok stay with us to tell us will conduct in just a moment because the german policy makers are already grappling with who will be 1st in line for a successful vaccine saying there wont initially be enough to inoculate the population more than 80000000 and Health Minister young is calling for a rigorous and public debate. Whats important whats also important to me personally is that this debate is not only a parliamentary politico and not only a scientific one but that we take this discussion to every lunch table to every workplace to every poll of friends and acquaintances and that it is discussed in germany in the end it needs a high level of acceptance except tons. So lets go back to Political Correspondent thomas part of toms talk to strew the recommendations the Health Minister is considering. So one of the key issues here fail is not only how to produce data vaccine but what to do once the vaccine is ready who gets actually that vaccine 1st and that is the key issue that our commission here was actually discussing all the ethical questions the legal questions the political questions that what has been discussed today is that 1st and foremost the vaccine will be given to people who are in a risk group and then people who work for example in hospitals or doctors and nurses and then people in professions considered to be relevant for public life so for example teachers or police those are the sort of strict measures that have been decided although officials also mentioned that that is very easy to decide in theory but in practice it will be also very different again the importance here is the fact that this is being discussed and spawn stressing the importance of a nationwide discussion and then how the vaccine will actually be rolled out he also mentioned the fact that there will be specific Centers Nationwide sent as where the vaccine will be distributed to the specific groups so this is also something that is being discussed in germany it is not the end of that discussion does actually something that will such only be discussed in the next few weeks and months until the vaccine is actually here when she found also repeated his warning about me to avoid overwhelming germs Health System so whats the Current Situation tones. Well there are those who say that the situation now in particular in german hospitals is worse than for example in april during the height of the 1st wave of the pandemic yet at the same time there are those who stressed that germany is fairing comparatively well that there is still a good number of i. C. U. Beds free around 8400 nation wide so there are different views as to how this can be interpreted the main concern that German Authorities have is the speed at which the corona virus is spreading were seeing record daily cases very frequently and this is something that certainly worries judgment authorities and this is why they struck down here in germany is now in place. Political correspondent thomas spiral thank you because this is a big news that everyones looking for at the moment ill just repeat that german based a Pharmaceutical Company says one of the vaccines is developing is more than 90 percent effective against covered 19 so has this affecting the markets in Chelsea Delaney financial correspondent in frankfurt welcome chelsea has this news gone down there. Its been a huge huge boost for markets here in frankfurt the dax is already up about 2 percent on the u. S. Election results but after this news came in from pfizer and beyond tech we saw markets really shoot up the dax is up almost 6 percent right now and were seeing this particularly and the stocks of things Like Airlines and travel companies for example tons of the German Airline is up about 20 percent the British Airways down i. A. G. Is up about 30 percent so clearly a lot of investors are now betting on some sort of return to normality in the near future and there had been a little bit concern because some of these trials have been halted for safety concerns that the time line was going to get pushed further and further out but this is really giving people a lot of hope that perhaps by early next year we could start seeing this vaccine being rolled out still we have some Public Health officials warning about even as even as these that vaccines are approved it likely wont have the full population much further out into next year so a little bit too early to be jumping to these hopes of a return to normality for you both josie delayed me in front. Well as the 2nd wave of covered 19 infections us weaves across a europe a belgiums Health System has become overwhelmed patients are being transported across the country and even flown to germany to find intensive care beds for. The start of a journey that could help safe lifes this belgian covert 19 patient is about to be transferred to a hospital in germany 1st patient for 2 days quite easy for us because hes nothing to be to say that is so hes briefing but you have to monitor everything part fills the car to prevent the blood pressure. In the countries and of the patient and everything off so. Thats a little bit challenging us such as the theory the 59 year old freddy needs intensive care support with the wards filling up here in years he volunteered for transfer to minister in northwest germany because he can speak german. And he gets so are you by 5 thank you god. During transferred freddy worse the breathing mask this plastic covering is meant to protect him and everyone around him belgium has become the epicenter of europes 2nd coronavirus space yes in the french speaking part of the country has been hit especially hard that too many sick people not enough bats doctors here fear lest soon have to decide who will get treated and who wont go on the air European Countries and we normally have all they need to say should patients we dont want to do worries them or usually do at the moment were still managing but our biggest fear is that in a couple of weeks well no longer be able to cope. To help prevent such a situation belgium has us germany to take over 1000 patients like freddy at the moment infection rates are much lower in germany. And here in belgium but this iteration is unpredictable and could change at any time we have very good happy that we can help at this moment in time is to have to pass it in building capacity because these are nearing the possibility so good that we can have known as and said perhaps in the future germans have to come to belgium both all the question of european for the verity is good neighborhoods and its really close cooperation. In just over that should continue for generations johnson was speaking on television for the 1st time since joe bidens election victory the United States of america and germany as part of the European Union must stand together to tackle the make sure challenges facing us in this day and age we must stand side by side to cope with the test that is the pandemic we must fight against global warming. We must fight against terrorism stuff and stand side by side for an open Global Economy and for free trade with this is the foundation of our prosperity on both sides of the atlantic. And americas president elect a signal that he wants to get to work on forming his administration immediately is expected to start with naming a 12 member Coronavirus Task force later today tackling the pandemic will be joe bidens 1st major task his team says the new administration plans to more nationwide testing and that americans will be asked to wear masks other priorities including the economy tackling racism or on Climate Change which means rejoining the paris climate agreement President Trump however has yet to concede defeat and his lawyers say theyll launch legal challenges a to the Election Results later on monday. Greeted by chance of losing. The u. S. President ial motorcade weaves its way to Trump National golf course for the 2nd day in a road. Donald trump taking a shot at forgetting and alexion loss. He spent the morning in stop and denial of his defeat refusing to concede to Democrat Joe Biden and giving air to disproven theories of Election Fraud several prominent republicans in congress have made supportive statements saying the elections not over yet. Theres a lot of shenanigans going on here if our President Trump i would take all this to court fight back and from a Republican Point of view mellon balloting is a nightmare for us the post office is now the new Election Center now more than the republicans have expressed more confidence in the electoral process while saying trumps legacy will endure. He is without question the most powerful voice in our party. He will have an enormous impact on our party going forward. I believe the great majority of people who voted for donald trump want to make sure that his principles and his policies are pursued. With the Trump Administration planning multiple legal challenges over the voting process and concession speech still seems far off get more german political reaction im from youre going to team hes a green member of germanys bundestag and a former environment minister welcome to d w when chancellor machall says the un the us should work side by side what do you see as the priority issues. I think the ongoing conflict on interest between the u. S. And europe will go on but the form we discussed the conflicts of interest will change with a change from trump to biden i see one area where we can get Real Progress very fast if the us come back to Paris Agreement there will be did chance for a good cooperation between europe and the us and the question of Climate Change and this also can give a push to china because china has done a lot of very ambitious announcement but is still not on a track for example bringing down their generation of electricity by co so i see an opportunity in a freak of Climate Change for a new trance atlantic pulp ship ok so that sounds like a good and yeah good news so do you see it then as far as your can so do you see a biden presidency as being a good thing for europe. Where there will be conflicts and were going to look on the last days there is still a battle on terrorism both sides the u. S. As europe have subsidized illegally on with a view to standards of w t o dare it x. Raft industry on one side boeing on the other side is an airbus there is an opportunity to negotiate on that that do war on terrorists that is coming and in the place up the us are still in place terrorists that this forms will end we can cooperate in the question of the. The new bodies the size of bodies of the w t o that has been blocked by the administration but im very skeptic that. Joe biden will go back to a policy of open markets and free trade he is perhaps a little less but he is a protectionist and he has to do so because this is what also his constituency wants and so just does europe need to be reactive in this relationship for all d their priors is that that europe can compress ahead and say to a new American Administration this is what we want from you. And i think we should do so we should take let us cooperate on the purse is an unemployment protection and we should also make an offer to calm down the war on terrorists for our industries but still there will be conflicts and i suspect expect that the u. S. Will mainly focused mainly focused on interior affairs whats about santa whats about health whats about the pandemic and whats about a recession these things are all things of major interest for all americans and i think europe is under 2nd place of awareness perhaps under 30 then because it and the 2nd place date is china could talk to you thank you for joining us youre going to tina green member of germanys bundestag thanks. Some of the other stories making news around the world now are World Leaders have congratulated joe biden on his u. S. Election victory with 2 prominent exceptions china and russia that kremlin spokesman said congratulations were not appropriate for the official results are present. So far refused to concede defeat.
