Of watching R T International coming to you straight from moscow 247 welcome to the program this hour. Their action foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has said russia has nothing to hide in the aleksei and about the case nato has had an International Response is needed to the alleged poisoning of the russian opposition figurehead the western military alliance is also calling on moscow to fully cooperate in an International Probe into what happened that follows an announcement by germany that the money was poisoned with a chemical nerve agent r. T. S. But all of our has the details we heard from u. N. Stoltenberg the nato secretary general on friday morning he said that being presented to the alliance it being presented with proof beyond down to the lake say no volley had been poisoned using a novacek military grade of agent he said they would have to be a International Reaction to this however he wouldnt elaborate on what would be the use of chemical of that but lets use over overunity chemical nerve agent which is violating the brutish and over in use over chemical weapons and that matters for nato we strongly believe that this is a blatant violation of International Law so it requires on the International Response. But i will not speculate about exactly what kind of International Response has been a lot of talk not only from germany but around the world about transparency coming from the russian side but on friday the German Government confirmed that they have received a request from the russian prosecutors general Prosecutor Generals Office for the sharing of test data from Alexei Novelli tests that were carried out on him for that medical data to be shared with doctors and investigate is in russia now reading between the lines from the statement it might not be as simple a procedure as that makes it sound assistance to listen to us teeth and the Justice Ministry in the Foreign Ministry of germany usually consider each case on its own merit to see if there are any opposite. The agreement well russian doctors have asked for this information to be shared with them as part of the investigation because when they carried out on election the volley was tried of course 1st in russia or in the city of. They found no trace of toxins and in fact they say that poisoning was the 1st thing they looked for and found no traces in that they need these results from the german tests in order to proceed with their investigation weve also heard from the kremlin Spokes Person to me to the press corps who said that the russian doctors have been far more forthcoming when it came to sharing information than their german counterparts he also said that statements and acetate should be limited to the facts that are provided this fact to investigative measures are being carried out and if the information about the presence of a poisonous substance from the patients biological samples is confirmed then of course we will open at the jewelry investigation of the German Federal president. Has been speaking as well he said its the case has the potential to cause problems in the relationship between lin and moscow but if we look at the foreign minister of austria Alexandre Schellenberg he said it would be impossible for the e. U. To put in place sanctions on russia over this before there was any proof before there was any investigation being carried out he was also asked questions about the nord stream to gas pipeline which the Austrian Foreign minister said shouldnt be put in any risk that that should be completed and that the nikkei should have an impact on that business enterprise. Meanwhile the Mainstream Media are trying to dig deeper into what happened to the russian Opposition Leader that they are seemingly focusing on only one version of events as more aggressive explains. 48 hours since germany declared the valley poisoned with military grade talks in a humorous crime she said that must be dealt with but it will turn it on i condemn this in the strongest possible terms on behalf of the entire German Government there are a very serious questions now that only the russian government can answer and must answer note that she didnt accuse russia of anything but within 24 hours everyone with a keyboard had somehow become an investigative journalist slash toxicologist slash Foreign Policy expert take build for example a german tabloid that specializes in yellow journalism and bashing russia build out did everyone they managed to mistranslate a russian official make up a Conspiracy Theory that russia was blaming germany for poor zooming in a volley and based on everything that they got wrong they demanded sanctions and then to the divisive german russian nord stream to pipeline there or there is a very strong anti russian in the west which typically specifically wants to sabotage the gas pipeline to prevail in iraq or between russia and the e. U. A particularly Close Association russia and germany there isnt a change of course america wants to sell its natural gas to europe instead of the russians so theres a lot of money going on a lot of money is what at stake spiegel another german magazine has proposed tearing up german russian relations big student well apparently they have irrefutable proof that putin was behind this insane poisoning they wont show it though to their readers so well just have to trust them now is the time so the man in the kremlin the german or thora g. s of showing the alexina found he was not drunk diabetic and sick. Rayman cynical spin doctors wanted the world to believe he was supposed to be killed with an insidious neurotoxins cynical spin doctors insidious neurotoxin and obviously aggravated by us because were going to see this are going to force 1st compounds are highly toxic substances and as a rule its impossible to use them just to poison a Single Person if there had been any interaction with the substance on the eve of the flight or during the flight then any accompanying persons would certainly have shown symptoms of poisoning that did not happen passions are high a lot of confusion about this is the best time to take advantage of people if youre a build pundit and you have no idea how a neuro talks and works or what happened to volunteer and you still want clinics well now is the time to write righteous and warlike articles to try and appear knowledgeable while the you know the professionals and experts a busy and quiet trying to figure out whats happened there is another version that you might like one popular theory is that the crime line spooked by the protests into west embarrass into the east inhabitants wanted mr nirvana out of the way to prevent him from mobilizing discontent closer to mr putin and upsetting his plans for parliamentary elections next year after years of not winning elections after years of stagnant support somehow now novelli has become a danger i was in the kremlin spooked after the revolution in ukraine why did they try to remove him then and it doesnt explain use it in new york which is the Nuclear Option even in the world of nerve agents sending the volleys to germany where he could get tested for a new truck and russia would get sanction whats happened is that they just fall or short of saying well you. Say you know rush or it is us. Questions about this etc etc it seems that theyve already discounted the idea that there could be other explanations for fault for what happened if the line is being pushed or were being heard in all of the western media that of course it was the kremlin responsible then why if he had been pushed with the truck why then was the consent given for him to go to germany because if he had been poured over a truck then of course the killers would find that out so something doesnt quite add up does it really but you know many fantastic versions going around you can pick whichever suits you best put his reluctance to say the word never and that cloud has led to comparisons to lord voldemort the villain in the harry potter sirius whom other characters do not name that i think has also been banned from appearances on state television and is mentioned there only rarely and in a negative light so putins apparent reluctance to talk about a fellow who isnt a politician one isnt elected to anything is somehow in direct proof that putin wanted him dead. Hell i dont remember putin ever talking about me could putin really want me dead as well by the way theyve all they being banned and state television is alive he refuses to appear on state television has even declined to appear in the naughty when we asked him weve got out a video so we have Video Evidence of the Guardian Live at the end of the day whats the point there is a jar and if you change that these people existed its full of profit oriented journalism intended to surprise and to upset and they will say anything to lose you into clicking on an ad filled article the fried or your attention. Russian scientists producing the countrys 1st corona virus vaccine say they are ready to start a 3rd phase Clinical Trials and after an International Medical journal concluded that the drug name sputnik we produce an antibody response and 100 percent of participants and early stage trials with no major side effects are going to be joined live now by artist saskia teller with more details on that saskia this sounds like quite a big deal how close are we to seeing this vaccine get official approval. Well at the start of trench 20 good news was hard to come by but as we move that user find us not. To report on as many will now about russian practices what last virus but. The results are now in on friday it was announced that the notice. Has a strong immune response i am to point out that once it dissipated in trials now this comes just after 8 eating met one of the oldest one of the most respected in the land. With its assessment of the mind of the childs. Because it isnt out of the Clinical Trial results of the sputnik the vaccine published in lancet the worlds leading medical journal shows that russia is leading the way in developing a corona virus vaccine and it answers a lot of questions from western critics specifically the journal report concluded that there were no serious adverse consequences among volunteers that took the vaccine and there was a very strong in time in response due to the development of antibodies it found that a vaccinated person produces 1. 00 times more antibodies than an average person infected with corona virus. So no serious side effects desired antibodies and of course a good safety profile its also worth noting that the head of the moscow clinic which developed independently said that he thought that those heightened people would actually protect a vaccination individual for at least 2 years so that announcement from the direct Investment Fund then this article in an answer really pulls direct the arguments for the effect of next now this news one doubted he met with open arms by those who decided to take the plunge to leave the vanguard get insulted. And recent days these include the ministry of defense against the leader of the liberal Democrat Party who by the way actually appeared on a t. V. Show makes wrong in the day and the moscow may insult another now told president putin about this Via Video Conference he said you know what im feeling fine only thing i will say i did have a slight headache for a few hours so these latest now on some doubt be reassuring but also maybe a way to counter the want to better word those suspicions by people initially who said that maybe russia had this process in order to declare itself winner of the race for a vaccine so what now are well on our side and if not of what actually basis for russian citizens will start in mid september and that process could be done within 7 to 12 months in fact. Sent to 3 clinics here in the past told muscovites offices were in a hot spot have been given a bit of a head start and can already go to war from saturday so doses possibly most people at home but that there will be ready for export and it seems there is demand from a pool table ready apparently more than 20 will question foreign governments have a break you see from the hundreds of millions of doses so immersed like sputnik he is pretty typical of. Arties Saskia Taylor bring us some hopeful news on that russian vaccine bank you. Write were now going to bring in lawrence a young professor of molecular and cardi at Warwick University in the u. K. To talk more about this development that the lancet article which came out earlier today seems to be the 1st International Endorsement for the russian vaccine how significant is this i think is a very important step on the way to developing an effective vaccine its a very interesting study like many vaccine studies its still relatively early days but it does demonstrate that the vaccine is safe and it doesnt juice a very good immune response but we still dont really know what a protective immune response looks like against coronaviruses there are a couple of other very interesting and novel aspects of the approach that russia is taking that also reported in the launch that article. So far the reaction from western media and politicians to the russian vaccine even before today has been largely skeptical is there a danger that geopolitics and National Pride could interfere with a search for a ballad vaccine. What i like other colleagues hope through hope that that wont be the case and that were all working together against the virus not against each other this study published in the launch it highlights some very Important Developments particularly in the ability to what we call crime boosts the response to give 2 doses of slightly different vaccines that give you an even better response and that is something that this article reports on which i think is a very Important Development but again we have to be slightly cautious because its relatively small numbers and we look forward obviously to seeing more data particularly as this vaccine goes into phase 3 where i understand there are going to be Something Like 40000 volunteers vaccinated but were working together as an International Group of immunologists and viral just to fight this vaccine and this is a very important step in that point Something Else important touched on in that article is the fact that russian trials have been done on the healthy adults how likely is the vaccine to be safe on people with Underlying Health problems does that change things. I think one of the big problems here is the way that vaccines work in individuals with other conditions and particularly in older in the older population which we know are more susceptible to cope with 19 to the very serious effects associated with pneumonia so whats important as any vaccine is tested in a larger group of individuals is that once you know its safe and in juices an immune response as has been demonstrated in the lancet article you need to broaden the population base you need to look at folks at different ages and you need to think about how you apply a vaccine to individuals with underlying comorbidities and that will be part of the the next phase of the study you have touched on the fact of long term trials that larger trials and the lancet article also said that those long term trials including a placebo comparison and further monitoring are needed to establish the long term safety of this vaccine by long term what sort of timeframe do you think were looking at people are so focused on getting that vaccine as quickly as possible right now. You know i think were going to see a lot of developments in this year in relation is over the sec in the next 6 months or so and there is a general concern that we dont want to rush into something that isnt going to be an effective because that could be really dangerous so the World Health Organization are trying to coordinate the worldwide response to the way that different vaccines are used and to think about how we can best apply those vaccines in different populations are one of the interesting things thats that recalled in the long article which is quite novel is the way that you can use the virus in a frozen 4 in a freezer dried form and thats so far as im aware the 1st comparison of any study that has examined a frozen vaccine to increase dried vaccine the difference there is is something freeze dried you can just keep it in a normal refrigerator rather than in in the in in a freezer and we will have a responsibility to think about how any effective vaccine is going to be use across the world including in parts of the world where there might not be the availability of of the appropriate infrastructure including freezers and so an interesting aspect of the the this paper has just published in lancet is demonstrating that this freeze dried vaccine is as effective as as a frozen vaccine thats a really Important Development earlier were talking about a joint effort but we do know that the United States has says it will not take part in the International Effort to develop a kind of virus vaccine because its being led by the who the w. H. O. To what extent could this hold the process back. I think thats a sad response is an unfortunate response but i think given the fact that there are so many different vaccines being developed some of them based on very similar formulas and similar approaches and Technology Platforms that working together across the rest of the world we will have an effective vaccine one hopes within that within the next 6 months or at least a vaccine that reduces the disease effects of the sars kobita infection and were all interacting so even though the u. S. Has stated that that issue in relation to its. Interaction with the World Health Organization we still all Work Together as an International Community of scientists. Who are keen to make sure that we tackle this as a community and not let any of the geopolitics that you mentioned before get in the way of us doing something which is more important for humanity the than than any other sort of political arguments war and sound professor of molecular oncology at Warwick University in the u. K. Thank you for your time and your comments if you. Now staying with the corona virus we also know that it has been flaring up in and around europe france has clocked up to 7000. 00 new infections for the 2nd day running on neighboring spain at the daily rate is now almost 9000. 00 and just outside the e. U. Turkeys authorities are now admitting that things are getting bad once again our correspondent charles devinsky reports well if you officials are warning that the rate of transmission the test so positive cases of 19 is now at a level that is almost equivalent to what it was back in march that was when many countries started imposing those severe restrictions which led to lock downs across europe in france this week we saw more than 7000. 00 cases being registered in just 24 hours now much of that of course could be put down to the fact that there is widespread testing taking place across france and weve been told that some 50 percent of those who are testing positive for cocaine 19 are showing little to no symptoms but what Health Authorities are concerned about here is the fact that in recent days there has been an increase in the number of people who tested positive for codeine who have been taken to hospital and those who need intensive care i asked has that been sleeping or would a summer vacation. And that is something that we see now we are all halls back to the number we have seen in march where lots of measures have been put in place to try in this rate of transmission including here in paris where we now have to wear masks in all streets across the capital and theres been talk that there could be closures of bars and localized lock downs it seems nothing is essentially being ruled out at the moment although the measures in terms of mass dont yet seem to be producing any concrete results now spain and germany have also seen some of the highest cases they have. Recorded since the spring time and thats also been significant numbers of cases appearing in parts of the u. K. In the north of england for example where there are already tighter restrictions in place with household still not able to mix in certain parts of the north theyre seeing a very large rate of transmission of 19 meanwhile in turkey the Health Minister there has been talking about this 2nd wave hes been saying that the case is it going up and up every day and he says he knows whos to blame. Were experiencing this 2nd peak of the 1st wave or mobility and curiosity as a wedding send holidays which are important parts of our customs and traditions have brought us to this point well the turkish Health Minister also outlined the impact that 19 years had on Health Workers saying that now more than 50 Health Workers said to have died after contract ing the virus now some countries are turning back again to quarantine measures to try and stem the rates of transmissions for example in the u. K. Though quarantine sort of causing a little bit of a headache for holiday makers and for travel Industry Experts and thats because the 4 nations of the u. K. Dont seem to have a consensus on where they want to impose quarantine measures so for example if you live in england or Northern Ireland you can still holiday to countries such as portugal greece but if you will live in wales or scotland if you go to those countries you will now have to quarantine on your return theres so much criticism of this saying that its causing a complete nightmare for holiday workers for holiday makers as well and its confusing and causing anxiety consumers are totally confused by the different approaches and its impossible to understand the governments own criteria anymore on when to add or remove a. Country meanwhile other countries are talking about shutting their borders hungary is already done that to anybody whos not a normal resident the reality is though the Economic Issues stem form the 1st lock down is still impacting countries across europe so any further measures to tighten movement to add quarantines or lock downs is only going to arrant to the very already very deep wounds of these European Countries we spoke to Mohamed Merah biologist at Lancaster University he says spawning new outbreaks in a timely manner is the best way to fight the virus i think the real testament at this moment with the increased number of cases is that we believe we could identify these small d clusters that are emerging mainly indoors in dog restaurant and indoor gathering and quicker were going to fight these one better we were off to allow not allowing them to merge into our own controllable outbreak 95 Percent People didnt follow all the regulations put in place and 5 percent dont swallow and those 5 percent and you produced the effort made by the rest of 95 i think the emphasis should be and has to be around controlling this interaction before its a proud level of Community Spread is common and the number of instructional to go significantly higher and the capacity in the hospitals would start to bulk up again. Hundreds of black lives matter protesters gathered in new york citys times square on thursday they were demanding justice for daniel prude a 41 year old black man who died from a succession during a Police Intervention in rochester new york on march 23rd the demonstrators were met by counter protesting trump supporters.
