Government says the shot will be available across the country from next week the vaccine is the result of a collaboration between u. S. Drug maker pfizer and German Company biotech. Its still awaiting the Regulatory Approval across the rest of the world including the e. U. Where it could be authorized within with. The British Health minister welcomed news of the decision by the regulatory authority. From testing. The mh already the fiercely independent regulator has clinically authorised the vaccine for for rollout the n. H. S. Stands ready to make that happen so from early next week we will start the program of vaccinating people against the covert 19 here in this country. Correspond to big of mass joins us from london to get how will this affect the u. K. s handling of the pandemic. Well really looks like the u. K. Is going to be the 1st country in the world where actual jobs are going to go into arms and we had the Health Secretary matt hancock say that 50 hospitals are already ready in the u. K. And that next week it could start we know that the process is going to be that Health Workers and also very elderly people in care homes they are going to be vaccinated 1st and after that its going to be more or less according to age group so the oldest people are going to be treated 1st are going to get the japs fast and then those with Underlying Health conditions and sort of. Rolling for a process and then it goes through the ages of the youngest will be last in line now we know that the u. K. Has about 40000000. 00 doses brought this is not enough to inoculate the whole country there would have to be either more doses all the hope is and i think this whole bill across the world that other companies will get their vaccinations approved in the coming weeks and months and that this is just the start of a big process a roll out across the whole world because mass in london thank you. Joins us here in the studio you follow the story for us when will the 1st vaccines be distributed well the German Company that has been developing these vaccines says that they will start delivering them this week so theyre being produced at 2 sites in germany theres a 3rd site of the building to try to cope with all the demand and they say that theyll start sending in this we can as we have from the Health Secretary in the u. K. They hope to start distributing the vaccines next week so it is a Huge Movement this is the one that the moment that the world has been waiting for this seems to be a crack of light at the end of the start tunnel you know this is a vaccine that is 95 percent effective across all age groups even the over 65. 00 its proved effective and its the fastest ever vaccines are the fastest vaccines that weve had today been in the 4 years 5 year mark and this is in less than a year so its you know its a its a Huge Movement and its this approval by the british authorities what does this mean for provable in the u. S. And in the e. U. Well the use set to get its hands on 300000000 doses of this vaccine but it hasnt yet been approved their june European Medicines Agency is jus to me the end of the month to give its opinion there are some even before today he was saying thats not quick enough you should be making a decision now there are actually theres been some some some kind of dissent today from a european lawmaker german c. D. U. Party who said actually maybe this decision from the u. K. Was too hasty. In the u. S. There to be next week to decide they should get their hands on a 100000000. 00 doses could be as much as half a mil half a 1000000000. 00 by the end of next year and there will be pressure just growing are saying if its good enough for the u. K. Is it good enough for us absolutely also this particular vaccine has to be stored at minus 70 degrees celsius that is a logistical problem isnt that this was one of the problems the issues. At the beginning of when we 1st heard that this vaccine was effective was actually needs to be stored at incredibly cold temperatures and that was going to be one of the hardest to get to distributing this around the world but pfizer say theyve been kind of these shippers as they call them these units that can hold these vaccines at that temperature using dry ice for up to 30 days. To get to the far ends of the world then the they go into fridges where they can be thawed out normal temperatures and then the shelf life they are normal for just 5 days so they hope that theyve bought themselves enough room to get this thing out to really.

Germanys socalled climate cabinet meets today to take stock of its 2030 climate target plan Greenhouse Gas emission emissions in germany have to crease this year but thats largely due to the economic downturn that comes in the wake of the corona virus pandemic. A lone protester floating amongst ice that is slowly melting the fridays for future protests are a sign that many people are worried about Climate Change the german chancellor Angela Merkel met with gratitude and other activists in march 2019 and created the socalled climate cabinet that then 6 months later presented and signed the climate protection act 2030. Environmentally friendly behavior is to be rewarded and Carbon Dioxide emissions taxed compared to 99055 percent less Greenhouse Gases are expected to be emitted by 2030 in addition they plan to phase out coal based Power Generation by 2038 but scientists and activists are disappointed because in their opinion the measures are far too lax the heart of the program is the taxation of c o 2 emissions but the price per ton of c o 2 is significantly lower than in many neighboring countries its almost youve got mark on the some of these measures will support the price signal and then lead us on a path where people change their behavior step by step not by renouncing prosperity but by combining the social market economy with the ecological component solution component the. Critics doubt that the Climate Program 2030 will actually have the desired effect even though the initially fixed price of 10. 00 euros per ton of c o 2 has now been revised to 25. 00 euros showing that the political signals in the transport sector are also contradictory. On the one hand electric cars and hybrids are now being generously promoted in germany to make road traffic cleaner on the other hand berlin is campaigning in brussels against a tightening of the e. U. Emission standards year 07 which has the german car industry up in arms because the planned regulations supposedly mean the end of the combustion engine. Although power plant operators will receive generous subsidies to phase out cold by 2038 the coal fired power plants data on 4 has been online since 2020 glowing millions of tons of additional c o 2 into the air in 2007 Angela Merkel proclaimed herself as the climate chancellor and front of melting glaciers in greenland but the young climate activists have been disappointed so far and they will probably continue to remind the chancellor of the promises she made.
