Vaccines could begin before years for a new crisis as hungry in its long term budget. In rescue package 2 countries oppose measures the funding to respect for the rule of law. Good to have you with us has failed in her initial bid to push through tougher coronavirus restrictions after meeting stiff resistance from leaders of germanys 16 states during a video summit. Leaders insisted on delaying fresh curbs in order to allow more time to see if current shutdowns were having an impact. Germany is currently 2 weeks into a limited law aimed at slowing a surge of 19. This school in the homburg has learned to cope with a pandemic masks, social distancing, and even a live stream for people to tune in from home. But with over 300000, schoolchildren currently in quarantine. The coronavirus needs to be contained fast for schools across the country to remain open. Its just one of the reasons medical was keen to add new measures to the lockdown already in place. But in marathon talks on monday, state leaders refused to sign off on a new list of restrictions. There were some differences of opinion. I would have liked us to implement rules on reducing contact that are legally enforceable. Thats their new talks are scheduled for november 25th, when merkel hopes to push through a harsher lock down. I think we will have to prepare the new conference very intensively in which we will announce much more far reaching and long lasting decisions. Always starting with the goal that we have to regain access for contact tracing. That means an infection rate of at least 50 per 100000. In 7 days the chancellor has been unable to reach a consensus for now, but there is growing recognition that social distancing measures will remain in place over christmas and into the new year. Is chief Political Correspondent, linda crane has more on this melinda along meeting, but no new restrictions. What took them so long . Thats correct. From the chancellors point. If you get kicked the can down the road, but thats not how most of the ministers president s of the states saw it. The 1st difficulty was that they got the briefing papers from that. The chancellery at 10 pm the night before, and there was a lot to look through in terms of the chancellor, his recommendations, the states. And this has always been the case since weve been dealing with corona, the states have a very different picture, depending on how densely populated they are. And how many big cities that have states with bigger cities, more densely populated cities, tend to have a much higher rate of infection. Therefore, there are a number of states that dont want to see tighter restrictions put in place. Only 2 weeks after these 1st set were imposed, they say lets see what they do that see how things work. The other big point of debate, and apparently this kept a lot of argument going out for many hours. Were schools as we saw in the report, there are some schools that are very well prepared to cut class sizes and even go fully digital if they needed to. But there are many schools that are not ready to do that. And so that was a major point of contention in these very long discussions about chancellor merkel wanted stronger measures melinda to contain the virus. But she didnt get off the issue losing power thats probably too quick and stronger judgment to make on the basis of this particular incident. She has a very capable chief of staff, but he did come in for some criticism yesterday because of having presented this proposal. So great on sunday night, and i think beyond that, the fact is this is simply federalism in practice. And it is impressive nonetheless that they engage in these long, complex discussions between the minister president s and the chancellor. And you know, theyre hammering it out as they go. Infections are leveling off. Now in germany, the country look forward to almost normal christmas. Many people are wondering about i think that is pretty out of the question. We hear that there is definitely a feeling amongst many people in berlin. Many people close to to the chancellor a that in fact the restrictions on restaurants are in the studios of forms of family gatherings that these may not be listed in december as was originally planned. Or if so only partially lifted, we will undoubtedly see some restrictions stay in place until the case is really dropped considerably. Then as we know, the winter is a time where were going to see a resurgence of corona and the government is very intent upon not seeing Health Systems here overstrained and so far they have avoided that very serious problem. Well, in a good to see if they dont use chief Political Correspondent only in the crane. Well, theres been another promising breakthrough in the race for a vaccine against cove in 19, the u. S. Pharmaceutical firm says its experimental vaccine is 94. 5 percent effective. Similar to results of another vaccine being developed by pfizer and biotech expects to have enough safety data for us regulators to approve and rollout the vaccine this year. Back scenes could be Game Changers in cobol efforts to curb the pandemic. Its nearly a year since china raised the alarm about the Novel Coronavirus with the 1st cluster centered around one, a whoop on what markets over 50000000 cases and more than 1000000 deaths. Later the world is seeing its 2nd vial of hope in the form of this 1000 vaccine. This woman is one of 30000 volunteers taking part in the back scene trials. But her new says it has almost 95 percent effectiveness against illness. The treatment involves 2 injections and does not have to be kept in ultra cold conditions, making it easier to store and ship. But theres a lot of work ahead. Knowing the vaccine is going to be a factor. It is great news, but we still need to regulatory process, which involves completing the study, generating more safety. And then of course, we need to get busy manufacture. Other vaccines will be in production to another candidate, a vaccine created by pfizer. And by antec also showed promising results. Both axioms are made by using whats called m r n a. A genetic code that tells cells to produce a spike protein. These cells will then fight the virus if it enters the body. But there is a huge Operational Task ahead. Billions of doses have to be produced, distributed and stored. There is also the challenge of getting people vaccinated while americans are ready for a return to normal. Not everyone trusts that drugs are safe. Id like to think i would have never had a flu shot in my life, so i dont know if that would be something that i would do, but i certainly would want to protect others. So i probably know. I think ill wait to see more, to get back to make sure that there are no side effects until a vaccine is ready, wearing masks, social distancing, and hand washing are still the worlds main defense. Theres a look at just a few other developments in the pandemic. Pfizer says its starting a Pilot Program in 4 u. S. States to help plan delivery of the vaccine it developed with bio tech experts have voiced concerns that the vaccine could be difficult to distribute due to specialized storage requirements. Sweden is limiting public gatherings to 8 people following a surge in new cases. Sweden has taken a different approach to most countries and avoided lockdowns relying instead on voluntary measures. And from thursday, New Zealanders will have to wear masks on public transport in all, clint and on planes. Nationwide as follows several small outbreaks in auckland and just look at a couple of other stories making headlines around the world today. U. S. President elect joe biden, has called on donald trump to begin cooperating on a transition to allow the Incoming Administration to deal with the pandemic. Biden said more people could die if a handover is delayed. Trump has been withholding funding and government briefings from the biden team. Protesters in the peruvian capital, lima are calling for former interim president , manuel, merino to face charges on the deaths of 2 antigovernment demonstrators. Centrist lawmaker francisco. He was named marino successor after he resigned sunday. So gusty becomes the end in the nations 3rd president , in a week of political turmoil. And hurricane iota has made landfall in northeastern nicaragua as a potentially catastrophic category. 5 storm. The hurricane came ashore with winds of over 260 kilometers per hour, forcing thousands of people to flee region is still reeling from hurricane, which killed dozens of people earlier this week. Poland and hungary have blocked passage of the European Unions new 1. 00 trillion euro budget and includes a 750000000000. 00 euro Coronavirus Relief on poland and hungary object to a new mechanism that would tie funding to a commitment to respect for the rule of law all until the standoff is resolved, virus recovery funds wont be released, but the right wing governments in warsaw in poland for now wont budge. Hungary and Prime Minister viktor orban brought plans to a screeching halt. He instructed his ambassador in brussels to reject the e. U. s, 1. 8 trillion euro budget and coronavirus rescue package. The polish government in warsaw meanwhile, also stood by hungarys side. Both countries rejected stricter measures binding them to the e. U. Rule of law. We are saying no to this package and we are using our veto because this socalled rule of law principle has nothing to do with the rule of law. Rather, it is political enslavement and a radical limitation of our sovereignty. And if you, but if you, their resistance calls into question if and when they use corona aid will be made available. Countries like spain and italy are eagerly awaiting assistance. If hungry in poland are seriously ready to block e. U. Financing and solidarity to bring us out of the coronavirus crisis, just because its following selfish national interests. And that would trigger a serious crisis for the European Union with European Parliament talks at an impasse, convincing hungary and poland to get on board with the package will likely be a job for europes National Leaders instead. Well, would have likely ramifications of this for the e. U. Earlier correspondent barbara basal in brussels. Normal negotiating is over and it has never happened before at this point in time that the e. U. Budget had been vetoed. There was always a lot ahead going and going back and forth, but after the summit and after the European Parliament has said, ok, we agree on this or that package that was it done deal, but this time now the both countries i know sort of really sticking to putting a stick into the spokes at the very last moment. What happens now is that they can be found Technical Work around the european budget can just continue on the basis of last year for a while. And the Corona Recovery Fund can buy a complicated procedure made into a different type of contract that only 25 european governments agree upon. But all this is going to take time and create a major headache. Everybody is really angry about those 2 and on thursday you will see what happens because theres going to be a Virtual Summit of the european leaders. And they might very well sort of gang up on hungary and on poland and say, do not do this on unless we will really tell you what will happen next year in other issues. If you block this now, the only arab astronauts flying with aerospace perma space x. Have safely docked at the International Space station. After a fully automated 27 hour journey, the dragon capsule carried 3 crew members from nasa and one from japans space agency. They were joined by others who robbed last month on a russian soyuz spacecraft. The space x. Flight marks the 1st time the company delivered a crew for a full 6 month stay, also marks the 1st leg of a Public Private partnership to bring manned spaceflight capabilities back to the united states.
