Efficacy, but also on their safety profile. And this is why i think this needs to be properly communicated to citizens in europe and beyond. And is that infrastructure here in europe . How and who will deliver these vaccines throughout the European Union . Yes, as i said, governments are already the and how been working with the companies in the past few months to make sure that whenever these projects are authorized because we need to this is not a minor detail lander stand and there is a lot of political pressure and all sorts of pressure to get to the point of the authorization. But as i said, we need to let the regulators do their job properly and take their time in assessing these data, which is something that by the pharmaceutical companies. And then i think we see in the coming months the Production Capacity is already strengthened. And therefore, depending on the company, depending on the vaccine pounding date, i think we will see before the summer and depending on when the star is asian and we come, we will see that those is being distributed in European Countries and that conclusion. So what would you tell your people in the European Union who are still has a tense about taking a back seat . I would say that the, that you made the European Medicines Agency regulators in europe. Weve got n. T. And we need to make sure that we maintain our trust in the approval system. We maintain our confidence in vaccines, and this is why my message is always let the regulators do their job. But i think probably the sions need to be a bit more cautious when they go on the record with the different statements, with different timelines. We need to be a bit more careful with these kind of information which is communicated tool of the public. But at the end of the day, im very confident that the regulator, the system in europe, the approvals system youre looking out for medicines and vaccines. We believe are now the senate says, who is with the European Public Health Alliance and a board member of the European Medicines Agency. Thank you for joining us through. Well, here in germany, rising covert infection rates have triggered tighter restrictions on public life. In some areas, residents in the bavarian town of pass out are only allowed outside if they can have a good reason, such as going to work or buying food. And a ban on Public Assembly is now in force in a nother hotspot. Hilberg hausen in the country center. Well, thats after hundreds of residents demonstrated against lockdown restrictions last week to have used on ahern and filed this report. These images have attracted nationwide attention in germany. People singing, walking side by side ignoring coronavirus restrictions of around 400 people, took part in the protest against strict pandemic control measures. In his book housing a coronavirus hotspot, district administrator to miss mina was shocked by the demonstration, cruel and seeing in its macabre that people operating through the town singing at the top of their voices, people dying in hospital. Something needs to be said about that. And thats what i did, and then to be threatened with that makes it even was true. None of your little place and home and no under police protection. Youve received Death Threats on social media. After criticizing that, demonstrators, when we visited several days after the protest, calm had returned to the center of his book house. To lock down this, keeping many indoors. A few people out on the streets aside from the police. We decided to find some locals to hear what they have to say about such demonstrations in that town. And without the protests and denials that maybe it would be possible to make a fuss though. Progress with water does seem to hit stupid, considering everything when and things are as they are, and we just need to get through this. So its a few mentions who feel too many people, too much ignoring of the restrictions. Its simply irresponsible for unfolding story. The town has now imposed the ban on unprejudiced and public gatherings. The divide hit, the next demonstration thats likely to happen soon. Thirtys have boosted Police Presence about be able to respond quickly to any violations of the middle to mass murder hopes that wont be necessary. Hes calling on people to be reasonable. I say its dangerous. Its dangerous, not only for yourselves, but also from others of the night. Its does not help the situation. And in his book housing hopes that infection rates will go down soon. And within the nationwide attention we turn our focus now to nigeria, where more than 100 people have been killed in what the u. N. Calls a massacre in the countrys Northern Borno state. I would assist, said man gunmen on motorcycles rounded up and killed farmers who were bringing in their harvest. The victims of a gruesome massacre laid to rest in a mass burial. The reports say the farm workers were attacked by armed insurgents on motorbikes. While they were harvesting rice, some were shot others with their throats cut. It is that there were 6 of us in the bush. Then we headed back into the village. We were shocked when we got there. Like on the move, we found their bodies and that was where the main killings took place. Then we went through a nearby village called good though. We met so many people fleeing from our village without knowing where they were going. The huge amounts of harvested rice was set on fire are used as you well know. This is the most violent attack on civilians and bone a state this year. The region in northeastern nigeria has been gripped by a jihad just insurgency. For a decade. Both the Islamic Group boko haram and a rival group. The i. I. S. Affiliated socalled Islamic State west Africa Province operate here. The 2 groups have been blamed for attacks on fallen isnt fisherman, whom they accused of spying for the army and progovernment militia. But so far, theres been no claim of responsibility. I dont know what cuts i came with on the work around it killed many of our people. We need assistance. We need weapons because we have young men who can guard our farmers while they work it out. Please, please, for gods sake, the kimock, i dont know that it was the Nigerian Military has been unable to quell the insurgency in which tens of thousands have been killed or abducted. There are reports that several women may also have been kidnapped in the latest incident. And the number of men remain missing, raising fears that the death toll from this brutal attack could still rise. Well, these are used to west africa correspondent for the fish are so says this attack follows a government airstrikes, targeting the hardest insurgence in the countrys north. It remains unclear just how many people have been killed in this horrendous massacre on saturday in borno state in the north east orphanage area. The state governor there speaks of at least 70 people killed. And regardless of the actual death, all one thing is certain. This is one of the worst attacks in recent years. He nigeria, a country that is suffering because of violence because of jihadism because of the uprising that began in borno state in 2009. Now, so far, no group, no militant group has claimed responsibility for this attack, but it definitely does carry to trademark the signature or of its splinter groups that associate themselves with isis. The Nigerian Army has actually carried out several air strikes in november saying that they do see and observe a resurgence of terrorist activity. And president , who are you seeing that the all me has received all necessary support to protect the citizens, to protect the population of nigeria. Unfortunately, this massacre tells you a different story. And that is that the situation here in a remains very volatile, very unstable, very secure, unfortunately with no improvement in sight.

W homeless during a demick in the french capital, paris, Health Care Workers deliver a mosque sanitizer and food to rough sleepers. In rome, volunteers conduct temperature checks to test for a fever. Scenes like these are playing at over the world. Whether living on the streets or in close knit communal shelters, Homeless People are especially vulnerable to cope with 19, cold weather bites in some parts of the world, they face a double threat. Many Homeless People are older and have underlying medical conditions which leave them out of increased risk for severe illness, homelessness, organizations say social distancing, and hygiene measures are often all but impossible to maintain. This is the job news covered 900 special. Im kate ferguson. Thanks for joining me. An estimated 115000000 people around the world dont have a home, lack of Affordable Accommodation unemployment, a family breakdown and an addiction are some of the major causes. Now, during the pandemic, Homeless People have been pushed into a more precarious situation than ever. And their next report will meet lukey, a homeless man in the german city of cologne. Business used to be better here in cologne, city center. Every day. Look, you outage sits here and hopes for the goodwill of the passes by. But since start of the pandemic, the tourist crowds have dissipated, and most of the people keep their distance between the there are fewer people around them and fewer people who approach me because theyre scared of corona, i guess because im homeless on live on the street. On good days, lookee used to make up to 30 euros in 3 hours enough to feed himself and his dogs. But in recent months has had to sit here for an entire day. Look, he spends his nights under a bridge. Hes 35 and came to germany from slovakia to find work. Hes been homeless on and off for the past 5 years. He lost his last home in august because his landlord didnt allow dogs when their mother, if i always have to dogs with me, im going to look for work. Employers want to see where im registered. But without a home, i have no registered address without an address. I cant get a job without a job. I cant get a flat on the money. For a vicious circle at least twice a day. Look, he makes a stop at the girl at a cafe for Homeless People near cologne, central station. He comes here to eat, shower and charges phone. But even here, things have changed. And the people are nowadays allowed to sit in the cafe before corona, the 30 to 40 people at once for many here, this place is a lifeline. And despite the new lockdown measures its allowed to stay open. Thats one of the main problems for Homeless People, which will probably get even worse during the winter months, is that there are fewer day shelters and indoor spaces for them to spend time in. And were not the only institution which is have to restrict its numbers. Others have also been affected. Sleeping rough through the winter will definitely be challenging for the key. And hes also worried about corona, especially because he can do so little to protect himself. Because i want to stay healthy and i try to be careful to take all the necessary precautions when i live on the street. Im always in town with my dogs. I meet other Homeless People. I can always get infected and im always at more risk than other people. A roof over his head. Thats a look his biggest wish during the current crisis. Then he can look for a job again and no longer has to rely on help from others. For more on this issue, lets talk to frank skinner, venet, director of the European Federation of a National Organizations working with the homeless. Mr. Speight event. Welcome. What do we know about how the Homeless Community is experiencing this pandemic . Well, i think its important to note that most Homeless People Homeless People in general are more vulnerable to 19 than the general population. Basically for one reason is because they have often be existing Health Conditions that make them more vulnerable. And also because their situation, the situation they leaf in make the move on the like most Homeless People live in shelters. I dont have to explain to you without following the guidelines imposed by the government, such as staying at home. Playing social distancing is extremely difficult when youre in a shelter. So i think the Homeless Population is really movable, or there are groups of society for the 1000 problem. I with all those factors in mind, what can you tell us about covert 19, right among the homophile to getting access to testing and treatment. Well, in the results its difficult to see because it is very if you compare countries are actually quite like they thought the infections amongst the Homeless People. But what we know is that, that hes a bit of a difference between the 1st wave and 2nd wave that were currently experiencing. In the 1st wave, the echoes we get from the homeless shelters is that the hot be able to be dissipated of the disease in the home as shut the system. Now in the 2nd wave, that seems to be different. We hear from countries like france, for instance, where a study was, get it out of the shelter system in bodies in the bodies legion. And they found that in all the shelters that they investigated, the over 50 percent of the book relation who was actually infected by 1000. 00. So we think it took a little bit of fine for the vitas to end that into the shelter system into shelters. But that is currently the case in quite a few countries and when the fight is these circulating in the shelter system, its but its very quickly because so many people live together. There are many shelters are overcrowded. And so what our governments doing to protect the whole mystery is quite a fighter, any best practices that you know off . Well, the governments are, many governments are doing things, certainly emergency measures. It has been quite remarkable how creepy many governments have been able to get people of Homeless People. You could say off the streets as a public had measure. They were new shut, the banks were created. Thats where used to accommodate Homeless People. Then put a leaf even some countries used, and a b. And b. Flats to find accommodation for Homeless People on the sea. So as, as emergency response, many countries did actually quite well. If i can give you one example of a concealed a seat on the particular, whether it is dublin house managed to keep the infection rates, anybody, if anybody knew it was. So thats one thing in terms of the long term solutions. Its only a few countries that actually use the 1000 bombs. They make to change the way they dress. Fulness is because its obvious that a show that is not a solution to homelessness. Homeless people meet housing, often with supports. Housing is important, but it is some countries not use the 1000 pound they make as a lever to actually change the way they address homelessness. And the netherlands would be a good example. The government there has just decided to invest 15000000 euro in Housing Solutions for Homeless People in order to get as groups the seed to use the abundant make to say what, ok, we can not. So we have to go beyond the emergencies, bones and actually providing sustainable hosing solutions. We support if necessary for Homeless People and you think that anything we can learn from the fund and make that might actually help tackle home if in the future. Well, what weve learned is that it is over, but it is important. It is, the housing is the best protection against good 19 and instead any damage and actually against or sort of vision for the health problems. So putting people into shelters as an emergency measure is fine. Its probably progress, but its not a safe place for Homeless People to be. So you actually need housing. Housing is the best pull that shit against the bond they make. And i hope that that will sink in with, with the governments with the decision makers, not in the future. They will put more emphasis on the people Homeless People as quickly as possible to housing and provide the support necessary housing is probably one of the most stark, a social determinants of health. And i think that has now become quite of this for expanded and from the European Federation of National Organizations working with the whole mess. Thank you so much. Thank you. Robert time nightgowns or one of your questions over to our science correspondent, derrick williams. How long does it typically take in europe to approve a vaccine after phase 3, trial results are published under ordinary circumstances, not in the midst of a Public Health emergency. The scientific evaluation carried out after phase 3 trials by the e. M. A. The European Medicines Agency, it takes Time Developers 1st, have to submit testing data, and whats called a Marketing Authorization Application that governs general approvals for medicinal products. Throughout the e. U. A board at the agency called the committee for medicinal products for human use is required to submit a scientific verdict on the application within 210. 00 days. It then passes that opinion on to the european commission, which makes a decision on whether or not to grant an approval within 67. 00 more days. So all in all the process can take between 9 and 10 months. But thats under ordinary circumstances. In the midst of this pandemic, the e m a has set up a special task force to help fast track covert 19 treatments and therapies. It allows for accelerated action in a number of ways for vaccines. A key change is that developers dont have to wait until all of their data is final. Before submitting it for approval, but have been able to submit it instead in batches while the trials are still ongoing. A process called a rolling review. So in the end, the formal assessment will take much less time for covert 1000. 00 vaccines that have proven safe and effective in trials because the e m a has cleared the way for whats called conditional marketing authorisation.
