Translation Summary: American drug-maker Pfizer said Friday it has requested emergency use authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (or FDA) for its COVID-19 vaccine.
Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech noted they have also started a similar process with regulatory agencies in Europe. They are also doing so in other countries, including Japan, Canada and Australia. The action came just two days after the drug-makers announced final results of their large vaccine study. Dr. Albert Bourla is Pfizer Chairman and chief executive. He said in a statement, “Our work to deliver a safe and effective vaccine has never been more urgent.” He noted that the company is looking “to secure authorization of our vaccine candidate as quickly as possible.”
The emergency use request comes as reported coronavirus infections have sharply increased around the world. In the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged Americans to carefully consider any travel plans for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Topic: A Rohingya shared the current situations in the camp almost 2 months after the clash between two groups.
Translation Summary: A forcibly displaced Rohingya, unwilling to inform his identity told VOA “Now situation is normal in the daytime. We still fear of going out at night time though enough streetlights are there. People can roam around and do shopping and others at daytime. Police and army always visit place to place that helps more for the people to feel safe. I personally left my place when there was clash out of fear. This problem should be stopped, and Bangladesh government can make a proper way for it”.
