Mass resignation of hong kong opposition lawmakers means there is no longer any resistance in government to beijing. Well hear from one ex lawmaker who joined the stand up to follow suit. And his board say for the crash leaves racing fans breathless, but formula one driver to mind escapes with his life. Look at this, walking away from a great ball of falling off to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States. And to all of you around the world, welcome as november ends, december is beginning with a raise for and i approve coronavirus vaccine. The u. S. Drug firm says its applying for emergency approval of its kind of ad 19 vaccine in both europe and the United States. Now that could lead to distribution in the u. S. As soon as in some time in december, the company says full trial results show its vaccine was 94 percent effective with no serious safety concerns. The filing sets up medan as product to be the 2nd vaccine likely to receive special authorization after one developed by pfizer and bio intent are joining me now is young. Its not says he is with the European PublicHealth Alliance. He is a board member of the European Medicines Agency, may, which is dealing with his request for authorization here in europe. Mr. Nazis is good to have you on the program. We want to be clear, youre not speaking on behalf of email, but you do know the procedures there. When do you think madonna will be granted approval . Thank you very much for having me. Well, that remains to be seen. Weve seen in recent weeks, a lot of these press releases from several pharmaceutical companies. Weve seen candidates, but pharmaceutical Companies Press release is not necessarily science. It can be marketing but is not science. So where this very critical point right now, where the regulators, for instance, the European Medicines Agency in europe, needs to look at all the data and come to its own conclusions on whether or not and when authorize these products and to provide these and the grounds that these vaccine candidate with a condition of marketing authorization that remains to be seen. I dont have, im not a fortune teller, so i cannot tell you exactly when. And i think that also politicians need to be a bit more careful a bit more nuanced when announcing to the world of specific timelines where we dont have yet to be assessment coming from the regulatory authorities. You know, because we are hearing from certain Public Health officials, not necessarily politicians that we could be looking at the 1st delivery of a vaccine, particularly in the United States by mid december. Is that, is that too early in your opinion . Well, for the us its up to the food and drug administration, the f. D. A. So there they have different procedures and we will see when the green light, we come from the e. U. Made for the for europe. Doesnt it . These it tool assessments do not necessarily need to be aligned. I would say this stage we have on one hand, that procurement procedures are going for the birth of your mind of these potential vaccines. But we should let the record do their job. Their job is Something Different than the requirement negotiations for ceding these contracts. For these potential vaccines against the bank team. Let me ask you, mr. Not just the news that weve been reporting the last couple of weeks has been based on these preliminary data release is about the trials for these vaccines. Do you think that data should be made public as early as it is, or should that be something that waits for the you know, the regulatory agencies such as e m a or the f. D. A. . Well, we need to see exactly. Youre making a very valid point. There is a difference between these press releases and this is good news indeed. I mean, it is certainly promising news, but there were companies themselves in their own press releases that were making clear that this is pretty been very data, which shes likely to change. Therefore, i think Clinical Trials date that transparency ease a sense of having an independent review and assessment of these data. Because of course, companies, they know theyre conducting the trials and they can claim whatever they want. But we need to check those claims, and we to make sure that we provide the citizens not only in europe, obviously, but around the world with safe and effective effective vaccines. I think you will agree with me that this is essential for the Overall Trust and confidence in the scenes and the Overall Trust in the handling of the Public Health emergency. Yes, yanis not to use with the European PublicHealth Alliance and a board member of the European Medicines Agency. Mr. Not sweep your time and your insights tonight. Thank you very much.

So lets start with the war crimes allegations. A stray, a is still reeling after the findings of an official inquiry into the conduct of its special forces troops, the s. A. s in afghanistan, they were there up until 2016. Now this inquiry found credible evidence that australian troops may have been involved in the murder of up to 39 afghanistani prisoners and civilians which may amount to war crimes and further that troops were initiated by being encouraged to kill afghanis.
