In the city we talked to a woman who lost her husband in the blast. I promised my son that i me and his that are going to be in his birthday and i broke this promise. Good morning from moscow my name is kevin now in here with the weekly roundup of the main news stories you brought you over the last 7 days thanks to company this weekend the 1st seen more unrest in the last week than in decades prior last sundays election which handed a 6th consecutive term in office to the countrys leader was disputed by the opposition who took to the streets demanding a rerun of the vote although things appear to have calmed now the 1st of the week was marred by violence. I. Just say can people that are doing nothing c. Yet have swallowed yes q yes ive come out but i want to leave in a free and peaceful comfortable told mr gave me. The most how much is this mass that is going on can you take the i dont understand which home. You should want to be the lots of. The people you. Meet the. Needs are. 64 journalists were detained during the unrest among them reporters working for a video agency ruptly who spent almost 5 days in jail our own correspondent the better us was also briefly held to. The. Police officers and asked them whether the road was blocked and if i could go through they said no its not come with us they twisted my hands but allowed me to put my phone in my pocket with the enough they care a lot about phones so that people dont use or break them it was really uncomfortable my hands were twisted my head was down and i had to walk like this but shells were falling off a Police Officer from the back was pulling on them it wasnt painful it was uncomfortable they pushed me into the vehicle and put a plastic 2 and a k on my hands it was difficult to breathe suddenly we stopped the door opened and they asked my surname and said to go out whats next a riot Police Officer said just go out and make sure we dont see you again and he smiled i could see it from his eyes above his mosque. Nearly 7000 protesters were detained across the country this last week the government began releasing them on thursday night promising to free them all by friday morning although thats unclear if it actually happened or not at the moment doctors who were among those being held to his one medic 1st hand account. What kind of doctors are you youre not doctors i dont know what you are where well this is thats the sort of thing they shout it and a lot of swear words but i dont want to repeat they were also saying that when you were 1st held in the street everyones riding by was shocked the person white ropes on their knees with a machine gun to the had. So there are 2 narratives being spun around whats happening in belarus at the moment arties Jacqueline Berger breaks them down in a bit more detail. Right now the world is being reminded that one man Alexander Lukashenko has ruled belarus for a long 26 years and he intends to add another 5 claiming 80 percent of all the ballots from sundays president ial election have a tick next to his name but thats not something a considerable amount of belorussians believe taking their frustrations onto the streets it started off with a peaceful protests mass of groups coming out and shining flashlights but the tear gas and rubber bullets started flying and chaos has taken hold. There are 2 realities and deloris right now and the 1st there is look shango calling the vote a celebration but one that people are trying to spoil by inciting aggression and spreading misinformation foreign powers media and social Media Channels are to be blamed as well so look at shingles a reality is that the protesters are bad and the special forces have no choice but to act like this. Around the. Around 25. 00 Police Officers have been injured legs broken they were deliberately hit so they responded why are you crying now no response will be adequate we will not allow you to tear the country apart the 2nd reality though is that of the protesters hundreds of thousands flooding the streets of the country calling for the president to step down and contending authoritarian rule but also posting instructions on how to make multiple cocktails on social media accounts which is literally playing with fire with tensions so high and while we cant ignore the videos of Police Beating people on the streets we can ignore this. Clip showing a car ramming into troops in the capital either we are judging either of the realities but the International Community is condemning the election as neither free nor fair not that they were invited to observe it so where does that leave looking shango hes a man largely without friends the west still dubs him in europes last dictator while hes slowly pushed away his closest ally russia but nevertheless he still claiming victory and his political rivals have either been put in jail or fled the country including his opponent in the election so. I took a very difficult decision i did that by myself my Friends Family colleagues and husband did not influence me many will understand me many will judge many will start to hate everyone is that freeing and its not clear who will win if anyone a number of countries have condemned what they call a rigged election and the ensuing Police Response to the protests heres the latest reaction though from europe and the us. I was glad to see the release of some protestors but that certainly is not and the Common Objective is to support the belarus in people to achieve their sovereignty their own freedom the European Union will put forward to the better russian authorities a proposal for e. U. Support in establishing and facilitating a dialogue between the political authorities opposition and Broader Society in view of resolving the Current Crisis ministers also agreed on the need to sanction those responsible for violence repression and the force of occasion of Election Results sanctions of the end of politics the key question now is what kind of policy the e. U. Has towards but there is for us the European Union is one of our top priorities. Alexander lukashenko has discussed the Current Situation in his country with his russian counterpart Vladimir Putin they agreed that it should not be exploited by 3rd party forces seeking to harm cooperation between the 2 states some of our guests in the week said they saw hints of ukraine in 2014 while others said more dialogue was needed. There are very strong similarities between what played out in front of our eyes now in belarus and what happened in ukraine so we had a very similar scenario not a color so i tend to bring a successful Color Revolution in yugoslavia the United States aligned in that line of many western countries with whatever happens in the result but also between it will be illegitimate we had the same rhetoric coming out of the western capitals as were getting here that the government that was told it couldnt really respond to any protests against even if they turn violent and thats what were seeing so its kind of movie that weve seen many times before and it doesnt end well that may be that the previous thought it didnt end well for the people of your great probably the better comparison is with ukraine in 2004 of the time of the socalled orange revolution by the Russian Society whatever its views on who should be president. Is anxious to avoid not only the kind of violent people who saw in ukraine in february 2014 but all the problems in ukraine has had ever since and i think for those of us who want to see a peaceful and if you like a legitimate democratic outcome for both of us its very important that the losing side in any political crisis has options of coming back from the ballot box once you fall clothes that new then do risk civil war civil conflict which is after all what has been set parts of ukraine ever since because it is escalating that means that both sides are short sided of the hair or lack of Strategic Vision of this eurasia overthrowing the governmental side it would be wise to ask the opposition to the least of the interests so why they are so keen to get to read all the president lucas and opposition should also try to find a way to be integrated into into into legal political process drive to suggest something that is acceptable to the government. In a Significant Development in the fight. Against code in the week on choose day rusher announced it had registered the worlds 1st Coronavirus Vaccine its been named sputnik 5 and on saturday the countrys Health Ministry confirmed that production of the 1st batches have already started the breakthrough though was welcomed in some quarters but also with caution in others in scientific and political circles with questions surrounding the vaccines efficacy western media also mocked the russian innovation claiming it has no scientific value and is not safe enough and its still not past the crucial 3rd phase of testing. I hope that the russians have actually definitively proven that the vaccine is safe and effective i seriously doubt that theyve done that it is not about being 1st it is about having a try tested and see vaccine which will be given thats the important part to hundreds of millions maybe even billions of people the problem is that we know very little because the russian authorities are not being very transparent and so i am very skeptical about whats happening in russia. Our foreign colleagues who probably want to kind of competitive advantage over the russians vaccine or offering judgments that are to our minds completely groundless in fact many countries have taken accelerated decisions in their back scene studies but the russian vaccine has already seen a distinct Clinical Trials and evidence. So the vaccine was developed at most because gamma liar institute of medical workers teachers and those considered to be other high risk groups will be the 1st to receive it released the general public is set they hope for the new year the developers the 2000 people are said to be vaccinated shortly as the Research Continues the authors of come into more than a 1000000000 doses of russian vaccine ive already been requested from Different Countries across the globe orders mostly coming in from the middle east and asia little quarter visited the factory in moscow then where this is being produced its hoped to be a game changer in the fight against the corona virus and while many questions remain unanswered about russias new vaccine the authorities are confident enough to go forward with mass production and we were lucky enough to get an exclusive look into how its done. The drug is nicknamed 5 but hundreds of thousands of units will be produced here. For the moment our company but you know farm is the only producer of the vaccine apart from the gamma layer institute the production of the vaccine has already been launched with a manufacturing capacity of about 1500000 doses a year we understand that it wont be enough thats why we continue to invest in boosting production the 1st batch of vaccine is ready to be delivered in the region its a priority as i understand it is medical personnel because they are on the front line of this pandemic and they are at risk from the sheer speed at which russian scientists have been able to develop this vaccine has raised a lot of eyebrows across the world especially since russias Health Ministry approved it before the end of the 3rd phase of testing still all the initial testing phases were done without any problems and the management of this factory seems to have a very positive outlook. Its absolutely accurate that specific antibodies protective antibodies are being formed as unknowns thats a vaccination we can also say that for the time volunteers have been injected with this vaccine the number of antibodies has been sufficient and remain circulating in their blood protecting them. Heres where the final stage of the production process takes place where the vaccine itself is inspected for the purpose of Quality Control if the units passon specs in there are labeled and prepared for packaging the factory said mechanic was able to tell us a bit more about what exactly takes place here. So generally we can pack up to 120000. 00 bottles a day those ready to go into production are loaded onto a conveyor and off without a special marking machine then they go to the books im get packed. The factory began vaccine production so quickly after moscow gave its approval that workers are still in the process of creating a packaging facility for the end products it just goes to show how eager russia is to get this vaccine into the hands of those who need it most dominant corridor r. T. Is 1015 sunday morning here in moscow coming up in a recap of more of the stories approaching the week just gone a snapshot of one familys grief with beirut still of course reeling from the tragedy that we speak to a woman who lost her husband and whose daughter is battling cancer. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is very dramatic to follow can only really im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Childs seemed wrong on one old rule just all. The old beliefs yet to shape our disdain you cant get educated and engagement equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for Common Ground the. Good. Now again well this way beirut was gripped by large antigovernment protests following the massive explosion in august the 4th that killed over 200 people the lebanese government including the Prime Minister of resigned over the disaster though are still acting as caretakers at the moment protesters blame incompetence by those authorities for the blasts they stormed the government buildings demanding proper accountability for the explosion that destroyed so many lives along with swathes of the lebanese capital. Thousands of tons of Ammonium Nitrate exploded on that fateful day leveling the port area thousands were injured in the explosion its overwhelming beiruts Health System which was already grappling of course with a covert pandemic scores of buildings have been damaged or destroyed living up 2300000 people homeless but the numbers of course dont give the full picture of how many lives they have been changed forever its an added tragedy then for one particular family already dealing with their daughters cancer they were in hospital when the blast struck the father didnt survive arties been hearing this story.

Unexpected aparajita with this onset of south isolation i wonder if you have had a chance to adjust well are on the on how do we ave a privileged people who had a mission so we used to leave this way before it was mainstream all down the had so its evident that its not normal and that he shouldnt conceive it should be like that surprising to me tony was not how easily i have adapted so there was nothing much said that to the arts or rather the opposite saying i suddenly realised although maybe i should have
