But is it overload . Weve too many matches putting players a risk during the pandemic. Germany coach, you want him to gives us his feet. Im rebecca riches welcome to the program. Europe is set to secure a 300000000 doses of an experimental covert 19 vaccine developed by germanys violent tech and the u. S. Pharmaceutical giant pfizer. The European Commission president , sort of on the line is due to approve the deal later on wednesday. She describes it as the most promising vaccine. So far. The mike has say, trials show the drug is more than 90 percent effective at preventing covert. 9 tain. Here in germany as elsewhere, there is god, it often isnt over the development. When human trials of b n t, 160. 00 began earlier this year, no one knew if they would lead to a coronavirus vaccine. The reports that this substance is in fact highly effective, have brought new hope. Germanys Research Minister is cautiously optimistic. Has been there for him with an untold. Im very pleased with naturally encouraged by this beginning. And hopefully we will not have any setbacks with vaccines. Youre never sure about that, but these positive initial reports give us a lot of hope not to lose their health. And the German Government has put more than 350000000 euros into this research over 40000. People have received doses of the maxine at the same time, the approval procedure has been speeded up. Could that mean the drug isnt safe . Oughtnt to say that we have not lowered our standards at all. People can be sure if this drug is approved, that will be according to the usual standard were used to here in germany. The surveys suggest 2 thirds of germans are ready to be vaccinated. Thats enough to get kovi down to control, but not everyone is yet convinced it will work. Ill wait and see, but im not a risk patient. They should vaccinate those who need it 1st and then ill get it if theres any left in what happened to of course they tested it on people who are relatively young and healthy. How will it affect older people . Those with Health Problems . Im not sure. Yes. Sure. I think i would, yeah, but i mean, it can also grow into something else, so it might not even work. And i trust a vaccine production has already begun in expectation that the new vaccine will get full approval. The European Union says it will order up to 300000000 doses. We have many countries back in lockdown measures. Theres an urgency to have a means to beat the pandemic. See food as the same as there will be an initial vaccine in the 1st few months of 2021. Gives me confidence, its encouraging. Its a light at the end of the tunnel, and this is least amended astronomers. For most people, the new vaccine cant come soon enough. For more on brussels response to the vaccine, im joined by peter lisa. He is coordinator for the committee on the environment, Public Health and food safety in the european parliament. This elizabeth, thanks for joining us. The research is largely coming from the a you by own take is a German Company of course, but the who hasnt signed a deal to secure doses of the vaccine yet while the us and the u. K. Have what, why is it . Why is that . So the deal of the European Union with biotech will be signed very soon, i guess in the next hour or so, every word is fixed. It took a while. Thats true. And my assessment is that by i think its a german, as i mean very, very serious people, they know their responsibility for europe or so because they got, i think european money from citi funds. But at least its not a german s. N. P. And you can, this hasnt been where is the problem . So there are a son in law. Yes. In the United States that have different, not just different position. Then we have the European Union were able to accept. So we want all the companies we also make associating with 5 other companies that they need to respect the european law. And yeah, that was necessary. Thats why it took a while. But now that its done ok, and by s a maze of course, even small, Medium Sized Enterprises in germany. Now as well as africa saying there are also huge logistical issues. The vaccine needs to be stored, for example, at minus 17 degrees celsius. Most doctors simply wont have those facilities do 8 countries have enough Storage Facilities to be able to roll out this vaccine effectively. Yeah, this vaccine has a lot of advantages. For example, that can be produced at large scale in a very short time. That will be important also for the rest of the work when we want to vaccinate, not only europe and the rest, but for example, western biocon or africa. As a disadvantage is the storage we need to sophisticated technology. The Member States of the European Union are responsible for this and they have already, you know, the commission has reached out to them. And i guess we also need to have some of the Member States because it is important that we not only have the vaccine, but also the chain either why it would not work. I think it given these events and the fact that they are now and i had to sign a deal today is the at the back of the queue for they fax aims. No, no, we are in the same line then with United States. And i guess the vaccine will be produced mainly in germany in 4 sites. And if it isnt, it is not possible to imagine that it will be delivered to us apostles words 1st. And as i sent the deal is done. The treaty will be signed during the next hours and then it will be delivered at the same time to every part, not it has signed as a dealer. So we are not in the back of the queue. I guess weve got maybe slightly better to even then, for example, the u. K. Or the United States because we negotiate very tough or i paid speaking to us from brussels. Thank you very much. Thank you. Lets take a look at some other developments in a pandemic now. And the United States, the number of hospital patients with covert 19, has reached an all time high of more than 60000.

German chancellor Angela Merkel echoed other european leaders and stressing the importance of border controls. This is during the its an urgent that we know not only who lens has, but also who leaves the area. And we must also have this information from those countries which we have visa, free travel with. Thats why the european travel Information System being launched in 2023.
