90 percent effective. Meanwhile u. S. President elect joe biden unveils his covert 19 task force he warns itll be months until a vaccines widely available and says the u. S. Has a dark winter ahead. And as things go downhill for amusement parks because of the virus in japan one venue is mixing pleasure with work. Im rebecca richs welcome to the program protests have erupted in armenia after the Prime Minister agreed to a pace deal with as a vision on the troops end the fighting in the disputed region of nagornokarabakh and allows as a vision to kape its territorial gains at least a 1000 people have been killed since the longstanding conflict erupted again in september russia mediated the states fire which moscow says will enable a permanent end to the bloodshed. Thousands of armenians demonstrated outside government headquarters in the capital yerevan to show their displeasure over the countrys peace deal with azerbaijan that also includes russia as a peacekeeper hundreds of the protesters actually made it inside the government building where they were also able to ransack some of the offices. Just earlier armenian Prime Minister nicole pushing ian had released a statement on social media saying that he had signed a declaration with the president s of russia and azerbaijan to end the war he also called the decision incredibly painful both for him and his people he said the decision was based on what he called a deep analysis of the combat situation he called it the best possible and. Russian president Vladimir Putin also announced the end of hostilities and cited russias role in the agreement. As the republics of azerbaijan and armenia are to stop at the positions they have taken peacekeeping forces of russia are being set up along the line of contact in the corner carra box and along the corridor connecting nagornokarabakh with the republic of armenia. During 6 weeks of fighting as are by shiny forces had been making steady inroads into nagornokarabakh they claim that they had taken many settlements but armenia disputes that the region had been in armenia hands since it won a war with azerbaijan in 1904 the territories also mainly inhabited by armenians azerbaijan claims it has always been an integra part of its country. And then on monday a Russian Military helicopter at a russian base in armenia was shot down killing both occupants azerbaijan said it was responsible and that it had made a mistake russia has relationships with both countries however its still not clear whether the downing of the helicopter had played a major role in the sudden Peace Agreement. On its camp. In moscow yury rachet yuri whats russias role in all of this while for a long time rebecca russia refused to do anything specific in this conflict the world peace talks in moscow that ended with a Peace Agreement about that agreement was broken and brought no pieces even though observateur say now russia has been waiting for 2 goals a few weeks ago there was an open letter request from the armenian Prime Minister russian yond to do to the russian president putin to finally decide what kind of help with the actual protective power of armenia i mean russia could offer should the conflict escalate further even back then this was a clear sign that armenia didnt feel well enough protected by russia and it seems now that russia is going to play a bigger role as moderator as a peacekeeper and ultimately as protector of armenia. You mentioned the pace keeping aspect what exactly is the task of the russian pay scaping forces on time. Well russia reportedly has a military pact with their media and to military base in the country now moscow is going to send about 2000 peacekeepers 90 are more personal vehicles hundreds of units of special equipment to nagornokarabakh and the 1st 8 illusion 76 planes with russian peacekeepers on board have reportedly already flown into nagar in a court of bach the Russian Military will remain there for 5 years and its mission can be ultimately extended for the same period of time so once again rebecca russia finally seems to wake up so little saying to do something concrete in this conflict militarily but politically it seems that russia is losing its role as protector of armenia we have to keep him keep in mind what is the azerbaijani president i leave set in an interview in the run up to this agreement should 3rd big power intervene hes sat there by john would call on turkey for help by the 3rd powell leave obviously meant neither georgia annoy ron but russia and at the same time Turkish Foreign minister and defense ministers flew to baku and president edwin congratulated as he did that as you know by johnny brothers on the capture of shushi the key seat of the government grandpa and he called on to go further to complete victory over the enemy as he put it ignoring the position of moscow which insisted on a cease fire that shows that the turkish president is acting more determinant to more effectively and this is happening in the possibly of space which in russia is considered as zone of special interest in them a nation by moscow or i rethinks very much yuri or chateau in moscow id like to turn to istanbul now where our correspondent yulia han is standing by yulia you recently returned from as a vision way youve been covering the conflict there did this news come as a surprise. Well what is surprising to me is how fast things have moved since last night armenia and azerbaijan have scientists new deal and hundreds of Russian Troops so called peacekeepers are already reportedly on their way to a new goal so they apparently try to establish a new facts on the ground as soon as possible now when i look at the images coming in right now from john we see people celebrating on the streets with flags and motorcade send these people are not celebrating another cease fire deal lets be clear they are celebrating a victory and this is how the leadership in azerbaijan is selling this the message is we won we heard president aliyev say that the fact that the armenian Prime Minister has signed this deal and i quote him here is essentially a cuppa to lation because under this new deal as i john can keep the areas that they have under their control right now and as you already mentioned they have announced military gains in recent weeks most importantly maybe the strategic town of the shusha in the corner thats called shushi in armenia language you know you live it you mention the already been attempts a truce 3 attempts all failed what are the chances the conflict will calm this time. Well youre right 3 attempts as a ceasefire have already failed so there is a risk but i do think the circumstances this time are a different the previous says cease fires have somehow been negotiated by members of the socalled minsk group so a group of states france the us and russia that has been in charge of so solving this conflict without much success for the past 30 years now this latest deal is backed by russia and turkey and there will be up to 2000 Russian Troops so on the ground now its going to be interesting to see whats happening in armenia youve mentioned that many people are extremely unhappy with this agreement protesters have stormed government have quarters and are demanding Prime Minister push to step down so this is what we see on the 2 different sides on the one hand as of a johnny celebrating victory but armenians are extremely frustrated with the outcome of last night with that latest agreement because armenia under that deal apparently has to restore all of its forces from the horn of karbala now turkey will go as a bridge on says turkey will play a role in the socalled peacekeeping can you tell us more. Well turkey is as of a johns a most important supporter especially militarily it has provided weapons to the army in azerbaijan and training and my impression really is that this has edged the leadership in. Over the past week so its hardly surprising that they now want turkey to have a stronger role when it comes to the future of the horn of care about that they want them to help monita or this new agreement weve also heard and youre a mention that already turkish Politicians Congress chelating there as a by johnny brothers as they say to this victory so thats the turkish view here as well this is a victory thats what they say for us have a job. Thanks very much for the w. s yulia han in istanbul. Well lets look at some other stories making news around the world this hour u. S. President donald trump has fired his defense secretary mark s. President s who win reelection often replace cabinet members but losing president s have generally kept their pentagon chiefs in place until leaving office as for anger trouble this summer when he opposed the use of the military to quell black lives matter protests.

It is the most Promising Development yet in efforts to control the coronavirus pandemic geminis beyond tech and us dr mike a pfizer have announced their experimental vaccine is more than 90 percent effective in Clinical Trials the vaccine is expected to be submitted to u. S. Authorities for emergency approval this month if given the green light it could be rolled out in limited quantities on the end of this year. The hope for an effective vaccine against the corona virus could be growing German Company biotech says test results are more promising than expected. As our results are showing that after the interim evaluation the vaccine is able to prevent infections with over 90 percent probability. So. This is how the socalled m r n a vaccine works Genetic Information from the corona virus is brought into the human body via a messenger molecule the body then uses it to produce viral proteins against which the immune system forms antibodies those antibodies should then defend against covert 19 more than 43000 people around the world have been vaccinated. These vaccines are being developed very quickly at the moment but we have a considerable group of people who have now been vaccinated and they arent showing significant side effects so this gives us hope. By antigun us drug from pfizer say they plan to produce nearly one and a half 1000000000 doses by the end of next year but this is i dont want to rule out the possibility we could receive approvals here but it is also possible it doesnt happen till next year. These new results could accelerate that process. Of more on this potentially Exciting Development lets bring in Derek Williams from date of any science derek the whole world is waiting for a vaccine against cove at 19 how close are we to returning to some kind of normal life well thats the 1000000. 00 question isnt it i can say that since yesterday i am a lot more hopeful that its going to happen. Along the timelines that we all would like the best base of s. Q. Scenario would be that we would see sort of. Large scale vaccination by spring time there and getting this approval or not this approval but but these results at this particular moment just indicate that if authorities get on top of it we could see people actually getting vaccinations 5 years so so thats incredibly positive is incredibly positive yes and defamation good news at last the data from this trial says its 90 percent effective what exactly does that mean. They give in testing like this this this sort of large scale double blind studies basically theyre giving tens of thousands of people either the vaccine or a placebo and nobody knows whether theyre getting the vaccine including the people who are giving it to the patients and and then they basically they sit back and wait and they and they and they see how many people from each of those 2 different cohorts they call them how many people actually get infected and you have to wait for a while and then after that a certain number of people have been infected you call that data and you say and an independent board looks at whether or not they got the vaccine or whether or not they got the placebo so you can see how many people from each cohort actually got infected and in this particular case there were 94 people who got infected and out of that they said 90 percent of them were apparently people who got the placebo so so less than 8 of those 94. 00 had been given the vaccine thats what that thats what that particular data mean so so that means its 90 percent effective if you think about the fact that basically authorities were saying we want one thats at least 50 percent effective 90 percent effective is actually huge or what is being down then globally to ensure that a vaccine where thinks one or another one will be effective and safe. Well thats why they they give these vaccines to tens of thousands of people and the safety issue is the next issue thats really on the table you have to you have to make sure that if youre going to give it to potentially not just tens of thousands of people but theyll use of people worldwide you have to make sure that people are going to have seriously Adverse Reactions to it and thats part of the press in this this process and this phase 3 trial that they that they say they have to wait theyre waiting for at least 2 months since they gave the 2nd dose each of this particular vaccine the test subjects get 2 doses and they have to wait for 2 months afterwards to make sure there are no serious adverse effects so far they havent seen any that doesnt mean that they wont come that doesnt mean that there wont be a problem but right now things look very good and theyll continue to track those people over the course of the next 2 years to make sure that there arent some kind of long term problems that crop up but as of right now in terms of the effect as the we talked about that the 90 percent fantastic has been seems to be very effective and the question of safety its still up in the air but that so far is also looking good too i think is cross to you know things going well this could be being rolled down even as soon as the end of the year how long will it take until we can all get one say. Well thats a thats a different question 1st of all thats going to depend on how long its already set on approval 1st of all and i think that theyre going to move very quickly i think that we will be seeing people if they decide that its a lead its safe as well as effective which should take by the end of november theyre going to the company is going to announce ok weve seen no serious adverse effects and i think that authorities are probably going to move quickly i think were going to see some at least some preliminary approval by the end of the year which will mean that theyll be able to start vaccinating people by the end of the Year Health Care workers people at risk and then theyve already been ramping up production the entire time in the background in the hope that this would prove safe and effective so theyre talking about up to a 1000000000 doses which would mean half a 1000000 people half half a 1000000000 people could get could get vaccinated by possibly sometime next year its going to take time were going to have a very difficult one to in front of us were not going to have the vaccine tomorrow but by the middle of next year i think that were going to be seeing wide scale wide scale vaccination and dont forget this is only one vaccine candidate there are others out there as well so this is also a ray of hope that maybe theyre going to receive approval to sue so things can go quite quickly from here on but quickly in vaccination terms or in terms of a large scale Vaccination Program is a relative term when terry thanks very much Terrie Williams from date of the science youll see more of derek in todays edition of kind of a 19th special. Well i made the optimism over a Coronavirus Vaccine us president elect joe biden is one of the country is still facing a quote very quintet infections are soaring in many states and tens of thousands more americans are likely to die of the virus before Joe Biden Takes Office in january he says he wants a science led response to the pandemic and hes unveiled a tame of Public Health experts to lead the way.

This group. Built on a bedrock of science and keep compassion empathy and care for every american at its core. Making. He stressed the importance of moscow wearing a measure that many countries have adopted but thats become highly politicized especially in the u. S.

Bought and wont officially take hold of the leaves of power until january but many in the us a good to see more leadership on the issue. Needs to follow through on the. Program and start doing things current government doing for.

Many places where we can based social and have closed because closed because of the pandemic that includes amusement parks of course around the world many have sat empty when usually they may get thousands of visitors every day and in japan one park has come up with a new Business Model that offers a combination of play and work. Things have been going downhill for quite a while at your mury land the number of visitors has hit a record low since the pandemic struck but the theme park hopes to turn things around with a pivot to office space. Cuban didnt can you know give us a little change to my mood i think anyone who works at the same place every day will run out of ideas eventually. Instead of working from home this i. T. Consultant can now work poolside. For 15 years the day he gets electricity wife and loads of sunshine. Yes its strange but i can actually concentrate here better than i thought through the cubic yards from us and. The only jury then used to be one of japans most popular theme parks but it had been losing to strong competitors such as Tokyo Disneyland change was essential for survival in the pandemic struck prompting the 50 year old park to get creative. Secada decides to work on a ferris wheel today he can sit and roller coasters instead but thats just too impractical. The wheel is perfect for video conferences its quiet and has an unbeatable view. To consider stiff. Whether youre working near the pool or in a ferris wheel the noise level is surprisingly low and other peoples conversations arent distracting. The mechanical noises dont bother me either i didnt expect that its really nice to green you can see. For theme parks like yomiuri land the pandemic poses a big challenge but thanks to adventurous Office Workers things may be looking up again. 50 years ago the German Football Association lifted a ban on womens football in west germany prior to 970 the thought of girls playing this for let alone with boys was unimaginable for most but attitudes have changed they visited a card nash did come up that helps female youth players develop by playing alongside and against the opposite 65430 time but she gets transistors let the feet do the talking so they play in an under 15 voice team elijah is a natural leader as a midfield arsenal is all about minimizing threats on defense.

Take up biking and under 15 site plane the 50 the twins also represent the germany under 17 womens team.

And often block on the pitch you quickly see that the girls are very different from the boys when theyre loud they make their presence known i may play fantastic football that was well received by the guys and im. So good that elijah was even make captain. Of the old timers of the boys who voted for me i think they wanted it too but they also respected me of allowing me to take over the row on.
