The Oxford University in the United Kingdom say their new corona virus vaccine could be up to 90 percent effective. It can be kept for a fridge or age or temperatures. Unlike other recently announced vaccines astra zeneca says it will have 200000000 doses available by years end. China has launched an Unmanned Mission to bring back rocks and debris from the surface of the moon. Its the 1st mission by any nation to retrieve the lunar samples. Since the 1970s, the probe is expected to return with material that will help scientists learn more about earths nearest neighbor, including how it was formed. This is g. W. News from berlin. Follow us on twitter and instagram, or visit our website, w dot com. The world is starting the 3rd week in a row with news of yet another promising coronavirus vaccine. Today, astra zeneca became the latest pharmaceutical to announce that its vaccine is effective at preventing covidien 19. Astra zeneca as vaccine has important advantages with a price tag of just a few dollars. It is now the front runner in the race to in the pandemic. By protecting everyone, everywhere im bring gulf in berlin. This is the day we plan to begin supplying by the end of here, what hundreds of millions of doses of vaccine supply in 2021 we wanted exactly 12 not just behind the times, is that kruskal to much of this could be very important to bear on the states really excellent, which i think their approach really devote the federal before we can actually go, oh, i can say to the people involved. Thank you. Thank you for what youve done. Also coming up there are reports of an historic secret meeting in saudi arabia, the 1st face to face between the crown prince and the israeli Prime Minister, the saudis denying that the meeting ever happened. Benjamin it, yahoo is denying nothing. I have never commented on these things over the years and i do not intend to start now with you, our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and to all of our viewers around the world. Welcome. We begin the day once twice, 3 times with vaccine hopes. This is the 3rd monday in a row that the world has been given. A reason to think that the end of the coronavirus pandemic may be near 2 weeks ago. It was finds are in by on tech. One week ago it was meant to earn a today, it was astra zeneca that announced promising data about a vaccine that prevents coded 19. Just say that hopes are high, would be an understatement. According to trial results, all 3 vaccines are exceeding expectations. There are effective, ms. Is 90 percent or better. And astra zeneca is the 1st promising vaccine that due to its low cost, could be delivered globally. A pandemic prevention for every man and woman, regardless of geography or income. These files hold a promising formula for ending the covert 900 pandemic globally. A cheap, effective, easy to distribute that scene. We have to get a lot of people back from 80. Were not thinking about the nations working in terms of one person at a time. We have to think about vaccinating communities, populations, reducing transmission within those populations, so that we really get on top of this pandemic. And thats what it now looks like. Were going to have the ability to contribute here in a really big way. The vaccine was developed at the ukase university of oxford using the i dont know, virus platform. Researchers took a common cold virus that infects chimpanzees, genetically engineering it to trick the human body into thinking it has been infected with the virus that causes that 19 producing an immune response. , over 24000. 00 volunteers took part in the Clinical Trials in the u. K. , brazil, and south africa. Although the late stage trials showed he had done a viral vaccine is less effective in preventing infection than the m. R. In a vaccines developed by maternal and pfizer biotech. The does that indicate its better at preventing hospitalizations and severe cases of covert 19, but people are not getting sick with the spike scene. Which means that ultimately, even if you were to get ill, you have moral symptoms. And so i think thats incredibly important because well keep ospital birds free and people wont be dying from this from this virus. And thats not the only advantage. Unlike the m. R. In a vaccines, it can be kept at normal, frigid temperatures, making it easier to distribute, especially in developing countries. It can also be manufactured at scale, meaning it can be produced in much greater quantities and that much lower cost than its rivals. But i think this will be a truly global for in terms of its deploy ability and its accessibility. Its going to be probably more affordable than most office for the lincoln countries. Astra zeneca has pledged it wont make a profit from the facts seen during the pandemic. If it gets regulatory approval, the firm says its ready to produce 3000000000 doses next year. And 49, id like to welcome back to the day dr. John campbell. He is an independent Health Analysts in the u. K. He has become a sought after authority on social media and all questions about this pandemic. Dr. Campbell, its good to see you again and its good that were meeting under such encouraging circumstances before we discuss astra zeneca. Lets consider what researchers have achieved in less than a year. I mean, were talking about 3, promising vaccines, arent we . It really is quite incredible. I mean, when you think about the prize or medellin or max, it is, there are quite a lot of money going into them, especially the middle. But the oxford after seneca vaccine has been done on a relatively small budget, and it is important to realize breton and this is going through all the stages. The normal vaccine or normal medication will go through is just being compressed into a small spirit period of time. So even though this is been very quick, it hasnt been skipping stages all the stages or been done correctly. Its just a very impressive piece of science followed by a very impressive piece of research logistics. And we hope followed up by a very impressive piece of allowing this vaccine to be, to be used to the authorizations and hopefully followed by a very efficient rollout as well. And plans are in place for all of those things. So im actually really, i thought actually quite relieved this morning when i heard this news. Very good news all around. It is good news. Talk to me about what distinguishes the astra zeneca vaccine from the vaccines, from the dernier, and 5 or by on 10. Well, the pfizer, the pfizer biotech in the media about state National Institute of health flexi, both based on this messenger r. N. A. Way of doing things completely new way of making vaccines. Both seem to work that the Oxford Astra Zeneca is based on as you correctly said, its a, its a cold virus that causes colds and you know, in chimpanzees it isnt a dino virus genetically modified. So that weighs injected into the body. It will express the same proteins you find on the surface of the stars coronavirus to a vaccine for it will make the antibodies and stimulate the cells. The big difference, as youve already alluded to, is the Pfizer Vaccine must be transported at minus 70 degrees centigrade. Now this can be done in advanced countries, but its difficult, but it can be done. And even image in a back seat needs to be transported freezing temperatures. Where is the oxford astra . Zeneca fact is just that normal fridge. Temperature is the way we keep most of our vaccines. So if youre in a remote chair area, we could for example, you could just get your cool box out, put in some ice box, put in your vaccine and go off and do the days vaccination with a very, very low tech approach. This is something full, Health Care Professionals are already know how to administer, so is really ready to just hit the road. Its a nice low tech, easy to administer vaccine. Where does this vaccine does it need any fine tuning it . And im thinking about the scene here because i understand that if you want to get 90 percent efficacy, you have to take the half those 1st right. Isnt it interesting . Yeah. So if you give the full dose the full dose is 50000000000. 00 viral particles, but they found that if you gave half dose 1st of all 25000000000. 00 viral particles, if you gave that 1st a half dose followed by a full dose a month later, the efficacy, there was 90 percent, 90 percent of people difference in infection rates compared to the Experimental Group and the control group, if you gave the full dose twice, then yes, because the way it was only 62 percent combining those 2, it worked out at 70 percent efficacy. So i strongly suspect that theyll be doing further research into the half dose, followed by the full dose to get the 90 percent. Because that what we dont know because the be fascinating to find out what happens if we give to half doses. Does that mean . Yes, because it goes over 90 percent, we simply dont know that because the work hasnt been done. But the other thing about this, it would give half the viral dose for the 1st half the dose of viruses up to the dose of the vaccine for the 1st dose. That means we can have 25 percent more people vaccinated for the same volume of vaccine. So its actually really quite encouraging results. I dont pretend to be able to explain in terms of immunology, but its practically a good thing. Its really a case of less is more in case the vaccine dose. What will, who stands to benefit the most from this vaccine . I mean, at the beginning of the program, i said this is maybe the 1st global vaccine that we have against this pandemic. So please, you brought this up, bring that fison of the donor vaccine up both to clay. And you can say this is what we spoke to both declared to be for profit vaccines. These are commercial companies, they intend to make some money out of this. But the Oxford Astra Zeneca vaccine a have declared that they will do this for a non profit basis. As long as the pandemic lasts. So they are going to be putting this magazine out at really low cost. Now the fine is a back seat, looks like its going to be around about 20. 00 euros, a dopes. Then they did have acces more like 35. 00. You are there steps . Where is the Austin Astra Zeneca proxy. It appears its going to be slightly 3 euros. So its like a 10th of the price down and on coffee basis and as well as that box. That astra zeneca has teamed up with 20. 00 partners around the world. So this virus is going to be made in india and shoojit mountains, for example, is going to be made in this trade is going to be made in south america. We believe its going to be manufactured in sweden, in quite a few European Countries because they sort of franchise down to the manufacturer of this. This is really a niigata tarion virus. So it can be made in different places for local distribution at low cost. It really is quite an impressive humanitarian thing that like you said, the beginning of the program. Excellent news is a great way to start the we dr. John campbell as always at the campbell. Its good talking with you. We appreciate your insights. Thank you. Mike. It was illustrate how quickly Vaccine Development is improving the overall narrative. Germany is now expecting the 1st vaccinations to be administered nationwide by mid december. At the same time, the nationwide partial lockdown. Its expected to stay in effect into the new year a glimmer of hope in germany defrost coronavirus, vaccinations could take place within weeks. But i want to quickly begin to offer vaccinations as soon as a vaccine is available. Unless theres a reason to believe that we can stop at the latest, at the beginning of next year, maybe already at the end of this year. And that is in the vaccinations will be rolled out in 2 stages starting lisbon marble people the need is urgent. The latest partial lockdown has failed to cut infections, by the way, tathata belies the daily rate. But we have not yet managed to bring the numbers 5 to a low level. We have basically only managed to get past a fresh step so far. Studies to stop the exponential increase of infections and we are no stable, but our numbers are very, very high. Fight fight. Patience is wearing thin, leading to end to long down protests and fears the far right is instrumental izing tensions. But many of germanys 16 federal states doubling down saying the partial lockdown must be extended and intensified with tighter caps on gatherings. With christmas, just weeks away, the pressure is on. Chancellor needs state leaders on wednesday. Then if this isnt time, it has been almost 3 weeks since voters in the us went to the polls to select a president. It has been 2 weeks since the ballot count showed joe biden winning the popular vote in the electoral college. And yet president remains in denial, refusing to admit that he lost refusing to allow the transition of power to begin pressure on the president to accept reality is building today more than 100 current and former National Security officials signed an open letter calling on republicans to stop enabling trumps intransigents saying that his baseless legal challenges to the election are now in danger of National Security. So this is what they writes. We are former senior National Security officials who served in republican, administrations under president s reagan, george h. W. Bush, george w. , bush, and or donald trump, or as republican members of congress. We believe that President Trumps refusal to concede the election and allow for an orderly transition constitutes a serious threat to americas democratic process. And to our National Security. We therefore call on republican leaders, especially those in congress to publicly demand that President Trump seize his antidemocratic assault on the integrity of the president ial election. , are lets take the story now to washington d. C. , our correspondent stefan simons, joins me now from our bureau of to you stefan high level pressure from outside for the president to give up his challenges. And weve got high level implosions taking place within the president s own legal team. Talk to me about how bad the infighting is rights President Trump going to trace it under huge pressure to actually allow a transition. Because again, as you pointed out in this, quote, National Security is at stake here in the eyes of many, many, many, and then you have on the other side, as you called it, rightfully so. The implosion of the legal efforts and the legal team, basically trump, and this is the elite Strike Force Team. Who is the elite Strike Force Team . That is Rudy Giuliani, jenna alice and sydney powell and apparently sydney powell is not part of the team anymore. Yeah, the legal team distancing itself from sydney, powell will reportedly be cause for conspiracy theories when to for even for the whites of Rudy Giuliani. This is what powell said at a press conference just last week to the dominion voting systems. The Smartmatic Technology software and the software that goes into other computerized voting systems here as well. Not just a minion, were created and billions of in venezuela at the direction of hugo chavez to make sure he never lost an election. After one constitutional referendum came out the way he did not want it to come out. All right, to fund the deceased hugo chavez, venezuela and the u. S. President ial election. So how far would you say we are from the Twilight Zone right now . Or . And if theres something beyond to try, lets all of them, were past the Twilight Zone and were actually behind that or beyond that, in my view at least because thats just, i dont have almost any worse nor have any observer c. R. , most observers and in the Washington Press corps, he has 4 foot for this. They are no words to describe this in any way or form, legitimately or seriously. I mean you heard its hugo chavez. Hugo chavez died in 2013. The latest comment with now the punch cards in, in those demonic dominion machines are, cia makes no sense in the powell. Remember one tidbit he used a lawyer all for michael flynn. Lost all credibility from observer. So by observers and apparently so even Rudy Giuliani couldnt go that far in outlandish claims of whats going on here with this election. And then weve got president elect joe biden. He is drawing to move forward with this transition confirming that he will nominate tony blinken to be secretary of state. Talked to me about what we know about lincoln and what his nomination says about bidens Foreign Policy plans. I think he would leave the kindergarten and now were talking between adults around their goals here. So tony blinken is a former well known and well worst obama aide. He was former National Security adviser. You were deputy secretary, secretary of state under obama. So with this, with his nomination, joe biden, signals to the world that trump shenanigans in Foreign Policy are over and that at least this is how joe biden approaches this, that they are over. And that hes installing people who are actually well worst and have a background and experience in Foreign Policy. That also means that probably the Biden Administration will do a lot of repair work, and blinken is the right guy. The right man for this says the Biden Campaign, because he is really well versed is not this the Foreign Ministry in germany, or france, or anywhere in europe or in the middle east or in latin america or in asia. They know tony blinken, they have dealt with him before they know what to expect. And again, the big signal is to get people in my administration with background, with experience, and with vision, who also have this, this tremendous experience and who can repair, repair, the scorched earth. Even in Foreign Policy, the trumpet administration has left behind, at least this is how the Biden Administration or by future private ministration and Biden Campaign sees that orange to fund simons all the story for us in washington. Stefan, as always, thank you. If its true, we are talking about history in the making. Israeli media is reporting that Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu held talks with the crown prince of saudi Arabia Mohamed bin soundman in saudi arabia on sunday. And an unnamed israeli official was quoted saying netanyahu was accompanied by the head of israels spy agency. The mossad in an interview with the wall street journal, a saudi official confirmed the meeting, but the solti foreign minister tweeted that the meeting did not happen. Prince, soundman didnt meet with u. S. , secretary of state might pump a 0 in the city of the yom of paya has been traveling with members of the American Press pool during his mid east tour. But he left reporters at the airport when he met with the crown prince. The jump administration has brokered deals between israel and bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and sudan. But a deal with saudi arabia has so far remained elusive. So what is going on here for more i want to bring in trade of parsi, hes the executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute for responsible state craft in washington. And its good to see you again, and ill ask you what everyone, what everyones been asking, whos heard this story . Which switch, do you believe . Did this meeting happen or did i suspect it is quite likely that it did happen as also quite predictable that the saudis with deny it projected mindful of the tensions that exist within the well founded as to whether there is wisdom to such a movement. We know that current king is opposed to it and that it is much less forgiving of what the israelis are doing to the palestinians. Whereas m. P. s seems much more eager to move in this direction. In particular mindful of that significant challenges and b. S. Is going to be used in washington under by the miscreation. It seems quite likely that he would like to have such a meeting in order to use it to his favorite washington. We have seen that you ease decision to recognize israel did not do anything to promote peace in the middle east, but it quite a lot into the u. A. E. Standing in washington. A ha, and lets assume that this meeting did happen. What is the, whats in it for the israelis . Well, from the nose perspective, being able to show that major atter powers no longer have a problem with the Israeli Occupation of palestinian territory. Is something that vindicates his strategy, which is that occupation and expression is ok. And eventually the rest of the wall will simply accept this fact that israel is taking and large and arthur part of control over palestinian territory. Whereas these really left for quite some time have been making the argument that occupation is not sustainable. It was one of the threats to israel and the arab world and other neighbors will never accept it. And so from his perspective, this makes a lot of sense, but i think theres a broader issue that is at play here which has less to do with the palestinian issue and less to do with iran as well. Which is the key thing that is raining in the saudi is the u. A. E. And these release together is their interest in keeping the u. S. As security umbrella for better in the middle east. Meaning that the United States remains militarily committed to that region. The greatest threat that theyve been facing at the last 50 years is the american public, is tired of the u. S. Being in the middle east and wants to get out and measures of this kind, creating these alliances and using it to collectively fresh pressure. Washington to remain committed to that at least is something that we have seen that the israelis and the saudis and the u. A. E. Have done before even sure of this formal recognition. So good. Can you imagine that the crown prince, its in his interest to basically sacrifice the fate of the palestinians in order to have the israelis allied with him as a bulwark against iran. So that the americans can sit, continue to see the iranian threat. Is that what youre saying . Part of it. I mean iran is very much used as that collective threats in order to justify this, but the bigger issue i think is to keep the us, anybody. Thats part of the reason why these 3 countries were the only countries in the world who were all poles to the iran nuclear deal. Because it meant that the tensions between the United States mubarak would reduce, which would enable the United States to have an easier Time Starting to withdraw its troops from the region, which was what the recording that they were against sacrificing policy. Because something that the saudis in the u. A. E. And others have already done for quite some time is just getting much more open and form. And what about that big weapons deal . Weve got about 30 seconds that the big weapons deal between the u. S. And saudi arabia that happened after trump took office. Yes, thats an other element that the g. C. C. Countries are using. d to keep the United States committed to their security. If you buy a 60000000000. 00 worth of american weaponry, whether you like it or not, whether washington icing or not, there is an implicit security ante that is extended when you purchase debt and of weaponry. And that is what needs countries and using michael the fact that they do not have formal defense pacts with the United States. Its a very good point for the parties. Always good to talk with you. We appreciate your insights tonight. Thank you. And here, well the day is always done, but the conversation continues online. Youll find us on twitter either at u. W.
