Theres more good news in the battle against covert 19, but also warnings to the world to not to let down its guard as infections continue to soar. The u. S. Pharmaceutical firm modernists says early results from trials show its facts in is 94 points. 5 percent effective. Far exceeding expectations. We have about 20000000. 00 doses of vaccine by the end of this year. And were looking forward to making about 500000000. 00 to a 1000000000 doses next year. But that is going to be a 247 operation. It wont be maternal, it wont solve this problem. Its going to require many vaccines as weve been saying for a while, but we have to be able to do our part from here for. This is really important. Well, the news comes a week after a 5 by on tech announced that its vaccine was 90 percent effective. It means the u. S. Could potentially have to vaccines authorized for emergency use next month. And the durness does not require ultra cold storage. Well, the vaccine cant come soon. Enough. Infections in the u. S. Have risen by a 1000000 in just the last week. Taking its total to more than 11000000 cases of the head of the World Health Organization says the new vaccines are encouraging, but he warned people against becoming less vigilant. This is not the time for complacency. While we continue to receive encouraging news about called good 19 vaccines and remain cautiously optimistic about the potential for a new tools to start to arrive in the coming months. Right now, we are extremely concerned by the surging cases were seeing in some countries, particularly in europe and the americas. Well, lets go straight now to washington d. C. And speak to aljazeera as alan fischer. Alan. Obviously, any news of a vaccine is great for the whole world, but particularly for the u. S. Right now, which is seeing cases just continue to soar. Exactly. Were seeing states that are rolling back the restrictions that they had relaxed over the summer, simply because the number of cases is beginning to overwhelm hospitals and intensive care units. Were seeing new restrictions being placed on gatherings of more than 25. Were seeing schools being closed down as well in just 6 days. The United States reported 1000000 more cases. Theres more than 1000 people dying here in the United States every single day over the last week or so. So this news comes against that backdrop and it is welcome. So theyre expecting 20000000 doses to be sent before the end of the year. They will be sent to those who work on the front line. Those considered most at risk, and then they will start the operation to gear up to produce enough vaccines to start sending it out across the country. And then hopefully by the end of next year, people will have received the vaccines even though there are those who are concerned that they might not want to jump in on the 1st. But to make sure that everything is safe, everything is good. But under the photo, the man whos really been the face of the battle against covert here in the United States well, welcoming the news says this is not the time for people to start, not listening to the experts. The virus is not going to stop and call a timeout 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 process for that and the way you do that is by essentially having the 2 groups speak to each other and Exchange Information anthony, speaking there, oh, well allan, though we know that president elect biden has made the fight against the pandemic, his top priority for is a presidency realistically though, what can he do at the moment . He can set up a process so that come january, hell be able to move very quickly and do the job that needs to be done. As for the president , donald trump, were told that the covert task force still meets on a regular basis. No word on whether or not it made today to discuss this new revelation from the dinner. But what we did get was a tweet from the president , just reminding everyone that the vaccines that have been discovered last week by pfizer. And then this week by madonna happened on his watch. Thats a distinct change in torn from donald trump, whos currently in the oval office, not far from where im standing. You remember that a week ago he was accusing pfizer of holding back the information on the vaccine until after the election, deliberately doing that to try and hurt his efforts reelection. So this time he seems to be welcoming the news that there could be 20000000 doses of vaccine going to those who need it most by the end of the year. Ellen fisher with the latest from washington d. C. Allan, thank you. Well, in the last hour, president elect joe biden has laid out his plan for reviving the pandemic battered u. S. Economy, but stressed that 1st the coronavirus must be brought under control by the spoke after consulting business and labor leaders. His plan includes a minimum wage of 15. 00 an hour and only awarding government contracts to companies, making products on u. S. Soil by didnt urge congress to pass pandemic relief legislation as soon as possible as possible, and expressed concern about delays to the president ial transition. More people may die if we dont coordinate, look for my chief of staff, ron klain, and will the vaccine is important solution to your vaccinated. So how do we get the vaccine . How do we get over 300000000, americans vaccinated . Whats the game plan . Its a huge, huge, huge undertaking to get it done, prioritize those greatest in need and working our way through it and also cooperate with the World Health Organization and the rest of the world in dealing with this. And so they say they have this work Speed Program that the not only dealt with getting vaccines, but also how they do, how to distribute this. If we have to wait until january 20th to start that planning, it puts a speed high over a month, month and a half. And so its important that it be done at the be coordination. Now castro joins us live now from wilmington, delaware, which is where joe biden was speaking from heidi. What else that the president elect say . Well joe biden also said, kind of with a wry smile, that he was hoping that President Trump would be quote, mildly more in lightened as the days progress in order to coordinate with the incoming administration. As you just heard him say more people will die due to the lack of coordination in distributing the vaccines. And bidens also said on President Trumps refusal to concede on his garage of tweets over the weekend at 1st acknowledging bidens when and then claiming that it was actually trump who had one will. President like biden said that he, that those comments on behalf of trump were quote, more embarrassing for the country than debilitating to my ability to get started as the incoming president. And he try to show people today the work that he is doing, even without the direct coordination with the outgoing administration. Biden, along with the Vice President elect camelot harris met with business and labor leaders over zoom here in delaware and biden said that he found the conversation encouraging. The topic of course, was how to get the countrys economy back on track with the forecasts of yet another decline in the economy. Lagging in these indicators of the hospitalizations and the deaths, of course growing here in the United States. And as far as what he, what biden can do about it, this is moment, of course, is not much, hes not president , hes not in office until january 20th. When pressed on what he could do. Now laurie mediately, when he takes office to boost this economy. He again sided with a plan thats already existing among congressional democrats, which is called the heroes act, which would be another massive economic rescue package for the country, totaling some 3. 00 trillion dollars. And its a package that simply he hasnt gained traction in attracting republican support. So now the big question is not only what biden will do when he takes office, but also whether democrats will win 2 Senate Runoff races in the beginning of january. That would determine whether democrats take control of the senate. If biden were to enter office with both the senate and the house of representatives under his thumb, controlled by democrats. Well then his wife weeping agenda of course would have a lot more support than having to operate under the current status of having a divided congress. That is your custom with the laces from wilmington, delaware. Heidi, thank you. Well, for more on the situation in the u. S. When it comes to go of it and also those that news of a potential new vaccine, lets speak to dr. Lisa who morris, and shes an emergency physician and senior director of medical education at hippo education. She joins us via skype from los angeles. Madame, thank you so much for joining us year on aljazeera. How encouraging have you found this news coming out of the pharmaceutical firm that their early results from the vaccine show . 94. 5 percent efficiency. Yeah, so much so thank you so much 1st of all for having me. Its certainly very hopeful news. The fact that they have been able to crank out this vaccine so quickly is truly remarkable. I do though, as a clinician and as a medical professional do want to sort of keep this in perspective. Everyone is throwing out the 94 percent number, which again is good news. But as in any type of pharmaceutical, any type of therapeutic, we have to sort of keep this in perspective, which is that this is early interim analysis from the company who developed it. And so we have to look at this sort of critically. We have to realize that this is still a smaller sample size, right . And theyre of course going to have biased published in their own data. So to say that its truly 94 percent effective is encouraging news, but we also want to follow this up with further larger studies downstream. Now, of course, given the need for the vaccine, you know, all of our concerns is how safe is this vaccine given the expeditious processing . And i think what reassures me as a physician and certainly my colleagues is that at least there are safety nets. And theres 2 separate organizations that are separate from government and separate from pharmaceutical industries. So they have no financial filiation who do safety checks throughout these Clinical Trials. The 1st one is the data safety monitoring board in this is a group of scientists and clinicians and researchers who are again, unbiased, who look at the Clinical Trial throughout the course and are checking to see, you know, the safety profiles. And well put a pause if they have any red flags or concerns and so far it looks like its getting green lit. So for me that actually speaks more than the initial publication of 94 percent on a small sample size. Well, thats a fairly the f. D. A. Please go on, go ahead. Secondly, the f. D. A. Vaccine Advisory Committee is another committee, another subcommittee that assures true safety. And so once these 2 committees would give the green light for the f. D. A. To finally approve it, that to me is enough reassurance because they will stick to their code. You know, this is their code is not to be broken and not to be politicized or, or financially incentivised. So thats, i think, what were all waiting for. And then of course, you know, as discussed, the distribution and being strategic about that is so important. Absolute distribution, both internationally and within specific countries, like the u. S. And the u. S. Were seeing is having just a dreadful time of dealing with it as cases continue to spiral. How do you think it should be handled . Because even in the best case scenario, we are talking months on a way before there is a viable value thats available. Yes, thats such a good question. And interestingly, you know, as opposed to our searches that were seeing in the spring and even early summer in the fall, even right now, speaking to my colleagues from everywhere from, you know, the south Southern California where i am all the way to the east coast. Were seeing different variable patterns and the question is why its really, its interesting, for example, Southern California and texas and parts of the southwest were seeing certainly cases surge again, but the acuity or the Critical Care level of those patients seems to be a little bit lower than it was earlier in the year in the question is, why is it just a lag in . Are we going to see that in the coming weeks . Whereas my colleagues currently in chicago, for example, and detroit are saying its complete hotspot way worse than the previous spring and summer surges where theyre not only having number of cases that are high, but the acuity that Critical Care time, the mortality rates are the highest theyve been for them, so in terms of, you know, mobilizing these vaccines, i think that has to be considered certainly the highest risk patient populations, certainly front line workers, but also we should geographically send these vaccines 1st. The places that are being hit hard, not just by the number of cases because remember most of us are walking well patients, right . But really who, who is really like sick and dying from this virus. And so, you know, that would be my personal opinion. But the term is a home are so thank you so much for explaining it so clearly for us. Thank you again. Emergency physician and director of medical education at hippo education. Thank you. Thank you. The President Trumps National Security adviser says the 1st step to solving the qatar gulf blockade is to allow planes to fly over saudi and bahraini airspace. Robert obrian was speaking at a Global Security forum hosted in part by cattle. He said hed like to see for Mission Flights granted within the next 70 days before a transition of office, saudi arabia, the u. A. E. , egypt, and bahrain and poised impose the land sea and air blockade on cateye in 2017. So wed like to get that rift saw we felt the salt in the air when it gives you that you referred to the air, had, was it because it was able to fly over saudi or space or already or space is an important 1st step in solving that rift id like to see that get done before. If we end up, we dont offer selects that get done in the next 70 days. And i think theres a possibility for well, catherine foreign minister also spoke at the forum and said there are no winners in the blockade. We are hopeful this at any moment. And what, what we need to right now is to have a serious engagement and a good faith with the other countries. And this is what i was prepared to do. Every time we would be ready for this, they would see it at the ready for this. And as i told you, at the beginning there is no, were not out of this crisis. And all of us are losing. And if the crisis will, all of us will be over and over, people will be able to afford. Coming up on this news, hour from london to ethiopia sends reinforcements to t. Gray, and rejects calls for mediation to end the conflict with the northern regions rulers. The armenians back out of yet, yvonne branding their Prime Minister, a traitor and demanding that he step down. And in sports, the tennis world, number one has his eye on a record equalling 680 p. Finals title. That story, coming up a bit later with 5 pros, congress has chosen francisco, gusty to be the countrys new president. The former World Bank Official will be perus 3rd leader in the space of a week after winning the confidence vote. But who has been in political turmoil since the impeachment of popular president let him discover last week, which led to mass protests on the street that his successor, a man who enmity no, lasted just 5 days before resigning on sunday. After 2 people died in protests against this government that he has. Sanchez joins us live now from somebody out. What are the chances that francisco said asked the world last in office a little longer than a sprint assessor, which was the whole of 5 days . That is an answer that i cannot give you because this Congress Already impeached a precedent. They could peach. Franciscos, i guess the as well, but right now they have the pressure of the street, the pressure of the protesters of a nationwide peruvians who are against the corruption in congress. And so they would have to measure their acts before they do them. But for no fransisco, who is a world, a former World Bank Official, hes been an industrial engineer and hes been advice and advice or to the Foreign Ministry has been already sworn in as the congress precedent. And because there are no Vice President s discover was the Vice President of cuttin scheme, and the 2nd Vice President resigned. So the next in line is the congress president. Thats why he will be sworn in as troops, interim president , to bring the country towards elections in april of next year and to hand in the government to the next president on july of next year. Barbara, the reaction has been, has not been jubilant. As many people would have thought that that would happen, but its a good sign. People are calm, people are going about their business again because people are also tired, they have to work. And this is, of course, tolls down the political upheaval produce been in the
