Minister to quit says foreign minister, resigns, of a growing outrage at the loss of territory. Youre going to cut about and the worst time for in this year, in the philippines, the area that bore the brunt of the cause has been another step forward in the search for a vaccine. For corona virus that killed more than 1300000. 00, people all of the world since the start of the year u. S. Pharmaceutical firm, madonna says early results from trials show that its vaccine is 94. 5 percent effective. Its a really important milestone in the fight against the penn demick. Because it demonstrates that our very senior morning to all 73 is able to prevent covert 900 disease including severe disease. And its really just a milestone though, we have a lot of work ahead of us knowing the vaccine is going to be effective is great news, but we still need to complete a regulatory process which involves completing the study, generally more to follow safety. And then of course, we need to get busy manufacture. President donald trump made a deal with orcas to purchase 100000000. 00 doses of the drug once it was ready. But that it is the 2nd candidate with a chance of getting approval. Pfizer announced last week its vaccine was 90 percent effective. At late stage trials. Thats promising news as infections continue to climb. The u. S. Now has over 11000000 confirmed cases that is the highest in the world. And we have 2 teams covering this developing story in a few moments will speak to how did your castro, who is unwilling to delaware. Its go 1st though to get who is in washington. D. C. Kimberly so madonnas, Vaccine Research was funded as part of Donald Trumps operation. Was speed right, but im wondering mike Donald Trumps refusal to concede the presidency impact the coronavirus response. Anyway, theres no question that his critics are suggesting that still the white house is celebrating, what they see is a glimmer of hope in the face of rising infections in the United States is now saying that there are pointing out that within just one week, there have been 2 drug makers now that are saying they are having a vaccine that is 90 and 95 percent effective. Donald trump reminding people on social media that this is something he promised before the election and taking credit for being able to deliver. But in terms of the distribution, that is another matter though, the white house says its hopeful, there could be 20000000. 00 doses of the vaccine available by december for vulnerable populations. But dr. Anthony fauci, the top Infectious Disease specialists, is concerned. There could be problems with distribution as a result of Donald Trumps refusal to concede the 2020 alexion. The virus is not going to stop and call a time out while things change the virus is just going to keep going. The process is just going to keep going. This is something that just is now going in the very, very strong right direction. The vaccines are effective, we want to get it approved as quickly as we possibly can. We want to get doses to people starting in december, and then we want to really get the ball rolling as we get into january, february, and march. We want to smooth a process for that. And the way you do that is by essentially having the 2 groups speak to each other and exchange information. Who are those 2 groups, the outgoing administration, the trumpet ministration, and the presumed incoming administration, joe biden . It ministration. Timing is everything. January is inauguration and there is growing pressure on donald trump given the fact that joe biden is the projected winner of the president ial election for donald trump to concede, so that this transition can take place that would involve valuable consultation when it comes to dealing with the rising kovac infections in the United States, as you pointed out, a levon 1000000 cases in the United States. As of sunday, 31 states with rising deaths and 2 states now putting in very Strict Lockdown measures. And again, donald trump, being accused by Health Experts and also some members of his own Republican Party of hampering this effort of getting that transition going and the distribution of this very much needed vaccine. White house correspondent kelly. How could there live from washington d. C. . Thank you. Ok, lets go now to how does your castro, who is in wilmington, delaware, and heidi the president elect, joe biden is expected to lay out his economic plans in a few hours time. I mean, this vaccine news must be you must be very welcome to have the economics of course, this is great news for the joe Biden Incoming administration. You tweeted this, congratulations. It is hope that this additional vaccine candidate with its very promising, if it can see will of course make the future a little brighter. But the big question is, can you depend on the, the distribution is just heard from kimberly, that is a big unanswered question. And so bidens economic plan, which he will unveil in the few hours time, its unclear whether or not he would respond to this late breaking news about the vaccine. What we do know is that biden has backed democrats demand that for the election, which was for another rescue package, totaling some one and a half trillion dollars. That would include direct payments to american households, as well as bailing out very financially stressed local governments. However, in order for that package to actually become law abiding ministration would have to count on congressional support. And that is very much dependent on the outcomes of 2 senate races in georgia that will take place in january that will determine whether or not democrats can take the majority in the senate. And right now, it appears that this could likely be once again a divided congress that the biden ministration would have to work with, which brings up to the as to the other question of what biden would accept as president or even as president elect. Because economists are all urging congress and the government to take action. Now, not before the new president is sworn in, they see with each day and week that passes. There is more risk posed to the economy. Because despite the gains that weve seen in the last 3 months, despite the unemployment figure now below 7 percent, with the rising in hospitalizations and deaths from cove it, everyone is predicting that once again, the u. S. Economy will take another hit and perhaps even lower than it was back in the spring. So republicans are calling for a quick fix to this a smaller, less expensive rescue package. Democrats have thus far held out on that, but again, time is ticking and the question will see, laid out what well see laid out by the Incoming Biden Administration later today is whether or not biden would have the patience to wait this out even longer. For a stronger hand, or whether he will side on a quicker solution right now. Ok, how does your castro thank you for that live at wilmington medicine, columbia university. She explains what needs to happen before the vaccines can end to widespread distribution. Well, these are preliminary data and the companies are continuing to follow the participants in those studies to collect more data, both on terms of the efficacy out there. Why . Well, the vaccine works, as well as also the safety because we need a little bit of a longer follow up to make sure that the rest scenes are safe. At that point in time, the, both of the companies will submit to the for the Drug Administration here in the United States. A request for emergency use are to rise asian. And this allows then the distribution and the use of these vaccines amongst the population. And this is obviously going to take several weeks, if not, several months. And beyond that, of course, theres the need to be able to distribute the vaccines and deploy them to the people who need them the most. And thats also going to take several months as well. I think the global mobilization by researchers and around the world and from a sort of a companies and governmental agencies all around the world to push the development of that scene as rapidly as possible. So rather than having the usual traditional sequential development of vaccine going through the french studies incrementally over time, theres been now in much more accelerated development of these vaccines. And actually starting to manufacture the vaccines even before we have data on their efficacy. So the goal was, has always been to try to get that seen a safe and effective as soon as possible. And other city get it to the people who need to take the vaccine as soon as possible as well. To the crisis in northern ethiopia. And the government is sending reinforcements to the rest of tikrit region, despite International Calls for mediation. As there has filmed a convoy of troops heading toward the frontline, thats where fighting is now entering its 13th day and also carrying medicine and other aid to the region.

According to the federal army, p. L. F. Fighters launched an offensive in an attempt to seize the base, along with the weaponry and gear they were met with fierce resistance.

But we are quite concerned about the possibility of spread of Communicable Diseases amongst refugees because theyre all close together in a small space. So dan is planning to transfer people here to another camp. Those at least who are well enough to move, but more refugees are expected and the pressure on this clinic will remain.

Its another battle between supporters of the european union. Russia however, we got some rather lively weather pushing across parts of china.

Itll push us where cost more than parts of china. Some increasingly wet weather coming in here as you go on through shoes day and on into wednesday by wednesday. Torrential downpours that will roll across the yellow sea. Pushing across into the far north, east of china, snow on the northern flank might even see some of that snow heading towards beijing.

Their forces are appealing to the International Community to condemn the offensive. The government has ruled out mediation efforts, refugees from ethiopias to grave region. They continue to cross into neighboring superdome to be state media say the number of people fleeing the violence has risen to nearly 25 films and the medias foreign minister has resigned the most significant political casualty. Since the deal was made to have a pulse of the go to cut a buck, it comes as the pressure is rising on Prime Minister nicola shinya to step down and his 1st address since the agreement with us by john after weeks of fighting the she took responsibility for the loss of territory, as he reiterated he will stay in office and bring stability to the country, has been widespread protests against the concessions that were made. All the abdelhamid is in the armenian capital yeven with more on the Foreign Ministers resignation. Well, already heard is actually from his spokesperson, who posted on social media, the letter that the foreign minister gave to Prime Minister hesham yan. And actually it was a handwritten letter, very short basically saying, thank you for working with you, but i am not doing that anymore. Now the background to that according to the spokesperson, is that he didnt agree with what the Prime Minister pushing and said during an extraordinary session of parliament. That session was only with his party because the opposition refused to attend the session, simply because resignation and talk about resignation was not on the table. During the session, the Prime Minister said that the fate of shushi call it had always been part of the negotiations between the 2 countries over the past 20 years, where the spokesperson of the foreign minister said that that was absolutely not true. So there you can see that each time Prime Minister tries to get himself out of trouble. He gets even more in deep water. Several camps, housing, people who said, i still have been closed down in iraq. A group said the closures are rushed, leaving nearly 100000. People with no medical team has this report from northern iraq. This is placed by the conflict against eisel. These families are headed towards an uncertain future. They are the last ones to leave camp. One of several such facilities ordered shot by iraqs government in recent weeks. Authorities say they are leaving voluntarily, but many here see it differently. Of course they forced us to swear by god. They forced me to leave this camp. We feel comfortable here. All the residents feel comfortable. Families in the camps receive shelter, food, aid, and access to education and health services. 3 years after the government declared victory over eisel, it says its time for those displaced to go home. But n. G. O. S warn camp closures have been rushed and could leave tens of thousands of people homeless at the onset of winter. And during a pandemic, like many who lived in the camps, the mother cant return to his area because a relative his son had joined. I saw i will go to jeddah camp because of the tribal problems. I will stay far away from my town until god helps to solve this issue. His son is now serving a prison sentence, but for the tribesmen in the ramadans hometown of justice must be meted out in line with tribal law. Elders say the return of families of iceland members would spark retaliatory attacks who are even if the iso members in prison or if he was killed, hes still his sons. He still has a family. Its not possible for me to see his son walk in front of my eyes while his father killed my brother. Everyone in this room has lost at least one Family Member to eisele. How can we deal with them with macey when they didnt show us any . The government is attempting to negotiate solutions with tribes to allow most people to return. But despite limited progress in reconciling communities, the governor doesnt believe the camp closures. A premature the cities cannot be reconstructed as long as the residents live in camps. When the residents return back, they will start to rebuild their homes in the areas with the support from the government and the international organisations. Such support has yet to reach saga host family left camp a week ago. They are now squatting amid ruins on the outskirts of mosul. Let me show, you know, you can see what its like here. There is no water, no electricity, and there are snakes and stray dogs at night. There are no services at all. Unfortunately, its just a concrete skeleton were living in. 2 cannot return to her home district of cinder, because her husband now presumed dead, had joined. I saw the tribes have to put themselves in our shoes. Yes, some people have made mistakes. Some are saying they didnt, dont kill the child because of the parents crime, shunned by their community and neglected by their government. The prospects for saddest children look grim. Some fear the exclusion of these families could fuel resentment among future generations. Perhaps once again link Fertile Ground for radicalisation. See want to fall to al jazeera in iraqs northern nineveh province. U. K. Prime minister Abbas Johnson has gone into self isolation of the coming into contact with a person like that with a cause of 90. He says healings. I will continue working from downing street also fell ill with a virus in april and spent several days in intensive care. He said this update told, i suppose the good news is that n. H. S. Testin trace is working ever more efficiently. The bad news is they pinned me and ive got to self isolate because somebody i was in contact with a few days ago has developed coded and it doesnt matter that we were all doing social distancing. It doesnt matter that im good as butchers dont feel great. People do in my circumstances, and actually doesnt matter that ive had the disease and im bursting with antibodies. Weve got to interrupt the spread of the disease. And one of the ways we can do that now is by self isolation for 14 days. When you get contacted by n. H. S. Test and trace in moldovas election incumbent president hugo does on says he will concede defeat if the courts find no problem with the polls. With the most votes counted for european challenger lassonde, this predicted 2 with osco says it hopes to establish a working relationship with sundin election was viewed as a choice between close relations with russia or with the european union. So new gago is a mold of as a capital its interesting to note when you break down the numbers, there is a difference between moldovans, how they voted inside moldova itself. And those who are living in the other countries. For example, my sundays win was 51 percent from inside moldova, and in the diaspora. It was more than 93 percent of people who voted for her. So it shows really sort of quite a distinct kind of idea that people have about how they want their country to go forward. Especially people whove had to leave the country in search of work instead of in search of opportunities because they simply have not found them here. And this is one of the things that my son who has campaigned on shes, she has been campaigning on the issue. The challenges of how to rebuild the country, how to build up a country from within. And even though she is optimistic about her when she still is very aware of the hard work that she faces head, the modern people prove that they can unite around the good people and all the right objectives for the country. Now the most difficult part comes, it was not easy to win this election as its going to be more difficult to implement the commitments that ive made. But i know that we have a lot of good people who are going to help. We have a very strong team. Yes, we have all the turns as to to get there. So all in all, it is really an interesting change that moldovans have voted for. The question is whether she can get hold of it to be able to commit to her vision as well. The number of casualties from the deadliest typhoon to hit the philippines this year has climbed to 67 strong. Bam kobolds heavy rain triggered severe flooding across the main island of luzon. Last week. Hundreds of thousands of people are a neat food and shelter to be going to has more from the province, which is one of the worst affected areas. Hit the region, an area that is often battered by natural disasters, but a region that is also used to responding to extreme weather such as typhoons and volcanic earthquakes. Basically now buy food vanco. Hit number one, it was die of the storm was actually manila and the populous areas and provinces around it. And in calgary and province, it took about 2 days before news came that a lot of communities were submerged and that people were asking for help. There are several factors to this, of course, power lines were down and he took a while before the government was able to get to hear from responders on the ground. The focus was very much on mandela. Maggette watershed. The dam here was opened, the gates had to be opened there for forcing the subversion of several communities. And of course, the state has always been at the center of deforestation and illegal logging. So many factors have contributed to this. But at this point, the situation is still quite dour. Were talking about thousands of filipinos now in many parts of arizonan without homes, without livelihood, really without shelter displaced and really with no clear idea as to when they can go back home or where they can have their lives back to normal. Again. Hurricane strength and force involves of people across Central America to leave their homes.
