Almost exactly a year ago in dresden. And what the thieves did was initially they set a fire at an electricity electricity junction box to cut power to the area. So the streets were dark. Then they went to a 1st floor window at the museum, tore off the the bars that where they are smashed their way through. The glass went straight to a display case. Display case, smash their way through there with an axe, grabbed the jewels and took off the police, were there very quickly, there was an alarm sound of the police were there within 5 or 6 minutes, but they were already gone. And the getaway car that they use was found burnt out a short time later. And we already that is the jury that was stolen was intensely precious. What else can you tell us about this jewelry . The pieces that were actually stolen . Yeah, i mean, the whole collection in the green ball. This is a unique, within the journey really unique in the world is the collection of the strong 18th century ruler of saxony. It could be maybe compared to the crown jewels of london. Its this incredibly unique set of pieces. The pieces that were sold included, dining, crusted, swords, broaches, and so forth. They some put the value of a 1000000000 euros or more, but really there are, there are priceless. I mean, this is a unique piece of, of german and saxon cultural history. But this is not the 1st german museum. Half museums become soft targets for, for criminals. Yeah. I think i think you can really say that, i mean, just a couple of years ago, 2017, we had a similar very spectacular robbery here in germany, in the boat, a museum where a huge gold coin worth about 4000000 new york was, was also was also taken in a very dramatic, a robbery and, and these are, you know, oceans 11 complicated geniuses that are good are pulling these off. These are smash and grab operations. Theyre just rushing in, grabbing what they can, and taking and going out. And i think i think criminals are looking at germ museums as very soft targets incredibly valuable material in these museums thats protected by really low end security that they find very easy to break through. But i dont really know what museums can do about it, because museums are public spaces. People need to have access to the culture. Im not sure how you can turn public spaces into properly secure areas unless you want to turn them into bank vaults. And i dont think anybody wants that will any of this jury markets, black markets . What are the chances of getting it back . I think almost almost nil. I mean the right after robbery experts said, these pieces are so well known internationally that it be impossible to sell them even on a black market, impossible sell them. And they assume that the criminals brought them down and then sold off the jewelry, the valuable metal, similar to the gold coin that was stolen. They actually have found the people who did that theyre now serving jail time, but the coin itself was not recovered. They assume, please assume it was, it was broken down, melted down for its golden and sold. There you were marched to the top of the other stories making headlines around the world today.

S. , president elect joe biden speaking there while biden scientific advisors are planning to meet with drug makers to map out a nationwide vaccination plan without assistance from the trumpet ministration. Because the situation is getting increasingly serious, the u. S. Is seeing its biggest spike in corona, virus infections and deaths. Since the start of the pandemic, new cases of more than doubled in the past month, the latest hot spots are in the midwest and states such as north and south dakota, iowa and wisconsin, all reporting Record Number of hospitalization. In total numbers with more than a 1000000 cases and over 20000 deaths, the state of texas continues to be one of the worst hit. The w. s karuna chinoy went to el paso where hospital managers say their facilities are close to being overwhelmed. It basso is on the border with mexico, but no one is talking about the wall anymore. The pandemic is raging here. Numbers are soaring. Right now we have about 241. 00 inpatient, coburg, 19 cases. Now to contrast with about 45 days ago, we only have 30, but a lot of those people that you see going into these tents behind me. They will wind up inside our hospital, have authorities are already arranging to move patients to other cities. If the hospitals become overwhelmed, planning for months of strain, there is going to be a long period yet before a vaccine is here. So we have to make sure that we are ready for this winter. Not only here in el paso, but also around the country. Resources are finite. There is already a backlog in dealing with the dead, refugee aerated morgues outside. The hospitals serve as makeshift more tourists. Funeral homes in a passel are so overwhelmed that families sometimes have to wait a week to bury a loft. One funeral director sam, selves are struggling to cope and you are in this race is and we are the level of stress is very high because it is not comparable to how it used to be.

He feared his business might be hit by the pen demick, but now he has orders until july next year. Republicans, he says, are good for the construction sector. Despite his support for trump, he has his own opinion on covert 1000, specially after he tested positive. Everyone is going to get the virus and were going to fill up the hospitals. Testing is one of the crucial instruments to avoid to this problem. We get cordy needs 10 Testing Centers in the past. So he works for a private company that is being paid by the state of texas. But his main concern in the penn dam make is not political, not boy, i dont have fully knowledge of what joe biden is planning to do in his administration.

Although infection numbers are not rising as fast as they were. National and regional german leaders postponed a decision on further tightening the current lockdown until next week. And theres been a promising breakthrough in the race for a vaccine against covert 90 us from pseudocode firm would. Ernest says its experimental vaccine is 94. 5 percent effective. Similar to results of another vaccine being developed by a German Company by own tech and its u. S. Partner, pfizer, but then expects to have enough safety data for u. S. Regulators to approve and rollout the vaccine this year. Its nearly a year since china raised the alarm about the Novel Coronavirus with the 1st cluster centered around one, a whoop on sweat markets over 50000000 cases, and more than 1000000 deaths later the world is seeing is 2nd mile of hope in the form of this major news culprit 19 vaccine. This woman is one of 30000. 00 volunteers taking part in the vaccine 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 complete 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 vaccines 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 theres 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 the drugs, are safe at like the 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 announcement. Joined from, colorado in the u. K. , where Health Analysts dr. John campbell, dr. Campbell, how significant is this announcement from well, its immense. This ignitor can because this is now the 2nd vaccine that we have. So we know we can produce vaccines against the sas coronavirus to generate immunity until this data came out. We didnt know this is absolutely game changing. Its how were going to get out of this pandemic. And it means that things can start getting back to normal. Next year weve still got quite a long way to go. Weve got to get through this winter. Theres probably not going to be a Significant Impact from these vaccines to the about april may, through next summer time. But the real hope is that things will be essentially back to normal by this time next year. What do you reckon when will people are human may be able to get the salt . It depends on theres a few things still to get to get right. Were still waiting for the safety data. Now what happens with the safety data, or is that you have to wait for 2 months after the 2nd dose of the vaccine is being given to a judge that the vaccine is safe, just in case theres a delay. But we do expect that to be passed through. We dont, we havent heard any alarm bells about that. So i believe that some people will start receiving this vaccine in 2020. Then the numbers will gradually increase in january, february, march. So people like you and me hopefully will be getting vaccinated by next april may. And it also depends how the Oxford Astra Zeneca vaccine comes on all along as well. If that comes out as well, then what have 3 vaccines and other vaccines potentially coming on. And thats going to increase the speed of the rollout of this vaccination program. Now report, we had a couple of people who said there were books on the wary of getting vaccinated. How important is it that if possible, everyone gets oxidized . Well, of course, its absolutely vital be, i mean, were fortunate these vaccines are very effective, but were still going to need about 70 percent to take it up. Now theres only been one Major International study on this, published in the journal nature that looked at 19 countries. And they graded all of these countries with how people, how likely people were to accept the vaccine when it 1st came out. And the Overall International average at the moment is just about 71 to 72 percent in europe. Its around about that level as well. So we know that most people are prepared to take it, but i think that number is going to increase when people realize its safe and also being vaccinated may well be a requirement for some types of employment. It may well be a requirement for certain types of travel. So i think once people realize how important this is and that they see other people around them being vaccinated and it does appear to be safe, as we believe firmly that is going to be at the moment, then i think uptake will greatly increase from that 70 percent, germany, for example, is around about a 70 percent at the moment, but i do expect Public Confidence to increase as people see this working. John Campbell Health analyst from col in the u. K. Thank you very much for joining us. I could go on talking of the vaccine logistics officials, call it the mission of the century, the distribution of a coronavirus vaccine. Once its finished, pfizer has launched a pilot Delivery Program for its experimental product. In 4 u. S. States of a global plans to distribute vaccine are on the way. Here is how frances biggest airports is preparing for that challenge. This is where the global airlift begins at frances largest air freight hall, but Charles De Gaulle preparations for transporting a covert 1000. 00 vaccine are in full swing. Hundreds of thousands of doses have to be stored at very low temperatures and shipped from here to destinations around the world. Its a Herculean Task for flu. In charge of the airports, pharmaceutical freight section. You know what the temperature inside is minus 52. 00 degrees celsius, minus a c. Is possible, but not easy. Sassoon, sophism behind the scenes. Airlines are also gearing up for the global airlift. Thousands of planes and workers will be needed for the operation. Its important to keep things running as smoothly as possible and that we check each step for the deliveries are in the right place at the right time. Once a consignment gets the green light, it has to happen quickly. The vaccine must be kept deeply frozen in a complex logistics system. Would treat the only one who knows will be a lot of traffic arriving at lossie because its the major cargo airport in france and europe. But the planes will also have to land in other Regional Airports close to where patient delivery is needed. Something like this. The vaccine still not ready for market, but test runs are under way for what the Aviation Industry calls the mission of this century.

But the fallout from the to be conflict has the potential to destabilize the entire region has already kicked off what the u. N. Says is a full scale humanitarian crisis. These are the weary faces of a conflict that is spilling out beyond ethiopias borders. Aid groups say 25000, people have no fled to sudan since fighting broke out. Half of them are children. Some may not see their fathers or husbands again. While i thought they could have a year later, we came with the clothes on our back. I dont know where my husband is. Ive been looking for him for 5 days. I dont know where he has had to have landed. They didnt have it done and i came, i dont know what happened. There was heavy fighting and many people died. After that, they told us to leave, so we fled, everyone dead. You know how good an eye on ethiopias government says its fight is with rebel groups in the rebellious region. The state t. V. Pictures claim to show its forces liberating towns, but hundreds are reported to have been killed. Offi
