We're happy to have you watching as we wrap up the week.

I'm Carla Zeus and I work at the CNN Center in more normal times.

But everyone's having to make adjustments in this era of Corona virus, and that includes US politicians.

As one political organizer put it, No one's ever run a campaign completely online.

Before the big town hall events speeches in front of cheering crowds, these have been put on hold to keep people from gathering in large groups.

So this is turning into a very different looking election year than America has ever seen.

The once numerous field of presidential candidates has been whittled down.

Former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld ended his Republican campaign on March 18th.

S representative Tulsi Gabbard from Hawaii ended her Democratic campaign.

S Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont ended his Democratic campaign.

So all this means that former vice President Joe Biden, a Democrat, and incumbent President Donald Trump, a Republican, are set to be the final candidates for America's major political parties.

They'll be on the presidential ballot this November, But just like some of the primaries and caucuses that help determine these candidates have been changed, postponed or held on line.

The party conventions that will formally nominate them could also be affected.

The Democratic National Convention was originally scheduled for July in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The Republican National Convention is scheduled for late August in Charlotte, North Carolina.

President Trump says by that time the country will be in good shape with regard to Corona virus.

But in the meantime, both political parties say they're prepared for weeks of virtual campaigning as covert 19 continues to spread in America.

A vaccine is not expected to be ready by the time of the election.

And while a leading US health official says the vaccine isn't a sure thing anyway, it's still a priority in the fight against the novel or new Corona virus.

Conceptual E is not a very difficult thing to do.

The best way to prevent the spread of a viral infection is to have a vaccine.

Normal Vaccine development Takes several years Scientists around the world are in a race against time trying to develop a vaccine way of fighting an outbreak.

Right now, as the novel Corona virus continues to spread around the globe, scientists in Germany, like countless others around the world, are in a race against time trying to develop a vaccine as fast as possible for an illness.

The scientific world has a lot to learn about the family of Corona.

We've known about them for a very long time.

In fact, there's a group of them that have been infecting humans for a very long period of time and about 10 to 30% of all the upper respiratory infections caused by Corona viruses.

For humans, it's a novel virus, but when you talk about novel viruses, they're new to the human species because, to our knowledge, a human and the human species has never been infected with this particular virus.

The pressure couldn't be higher, with the number of novel Corona virus cases jumping every day and the global economy taking a beating from the Corona viruses effects.

President Trump had a meeting with drugmakers, urged the industry to come up with the vaccine.

We're moving aggressively to accelerate the process of developing a vaccine.

A lot of good things are happening and happening very fast.

I said Do me a favor, speed it up, speed it up and they will.

The best way to prevent the spread of a viral infection is toe have a vaccine that builds up the immunity in someone so that they're protected from the spread of infection.

Corona viruses are named because they resemble a crown with spikes on the surface.

This is a spike protein that is on the surface of a Corona buyers, and it's what allows it to attach to get into the cells of the respiratory.

This is a spike protein from the surface of a Corona virus, and it sits on the virus like this, and it allows the virus to attach to an enter cells.

If you compare normal vaccine development takes several years.

We're fighting an outbreak right now, and therefore regulatory authorities are hands on and trying to do this within a year's time.

So for normal vaccine development, that entire process would take in the 10 to 20 years to go through all the various steps that it's extremely expensive to work with humans.

We're trying to do this this fast as we can.

Best case scenario might be a year more realistically would be in the 18 to 24 months.

The phase one should be in a matter of weeks.

That's actually really exciting that we're only two or three months out from the first detection of the virus, and we're starting to enroll a face trial.

Getting that done within a year is almost unheard of as far as the certification off drugs is concerned.

But the folks of the company tell us that they've almost never seen this amount of international urgency on the part of governments on the part of NGOs and also force on the part of drug companies and labs to try and get a vaccine on the market as fast as possible and as safe as possible.

In what body of water would you find the islands of Gurn Z in Jersey, Baltic Sea Bay of Biscay, English Channel or Ionian Sea?

These are two of the Channel islands named for the English Channel, where you'll find them, and it's just about 45 miles southeast of the island of Jersey, just off the coast of the Normandy region of France, where you'll find molt semi shell.

It's an island in an abbey, a town in a fortress.

It got its name in the eighth century a D when a local bishop built a place of prayer there.

And while we can't take you there in person, we can through your screen coastal at one moment, isolated island at another.

Mostly Michel is incredibly study, no matter the tide.

In between, two powerful tides from Normandy and Britney stands the Gothic styled Benedictine abbey, named after and dedicated to the Ark Angel ST Michael Monty.

In prehistoric times, it stood on dry land.

However, as sea levels rose, erosion reshaped the coast.

Even today, it only sit 600 meters from land.

Although it has less than 50 full time residents, it is visited by more than three million people each year.

It's around 900 steps more than just a church on Iraq.

Mostly, Michel is a medieval time capsule and was one of the first monuments to be classed as UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Let's have a look at some sweet pain trouble tech.

This may look like a dude ruining his wall, but check out what this paint can do.

Okay, It's not actually the paint that does this touch.

They can then be spray painted for added effect and using the magic of computers.

This can help people change their lighting without a switch or change the channel without a remote.

Researchers hope this will make homes and cities smarter.

Of course, you could always use a switch or a remote, but this paints attempting picture for the touchy, sort of control freak who's so sensitive he gets tackled about the Internet.
