The disputed. Street used to be bustling with life neighbors. Would read stories to their children well now. We hear from. One week ago. And. It was impossible to take anything from the. Broadcasting live from moscow to the world this is our to international my names you know me youre welcome to the program. A 2nd experimental russian vaccine against corona virus has officially been registered at the vote corona successfully passed for use while into Clinical Trials my colleagues nichiren and maria financial discuss the announcement made today by president putin. Losing. The vote to Research Center in the disappears is registered in the 2nd russian vaccine against corona virus the epi bot corona vaccine was developed by siberia based states a Research Center among the largest in russia it was founded more than 45 years ago that in the soviet times these one in phase 2 of its Clinical Trials are now behind and we heard it was a success meaning the drug is safe now face 3 is coming and it is a study in whether the vaccine is in fact effective we hear that around 40000. 00 volunteers are expected to take part and for that purpose 60000. 00 doses of the drug will be produced and we hear from russias vice premier that it will happen very very soon interesting to mention is that normally all 3 stages so phases of the human a Clinical Trials should be completed before registration but the world has been living in quite an emergency mode in the last 8 or so months so procedures have been slightly changed slightly i just say this is worlds 2nd registered vaccine against 19 the 1st one was also registered in russia back in august it is known as sputnik all satellite feed it is and then the virus back to viral vaccine and we now hear from its developers that by november russia will be able to produce up to 6000000 doses of vaccine maining 8 to may take up to 12. Months to vaccinate around 80 percent of the countrys population and as we hear from russias president Vladimir Putin the russian citizens house is among the countrys key priorities but. First we need to make these Vaccines Available on the russian markets they must be supplied to russian pharmacies on as large a scale as possible we continue to cooperate with our foreign partners and we will promote a vaccine approved as well thinking about International Cooperation and foreign partners we know that 50 countries are already interested in russias sputnik of the vaccine against kawiti we heard that from the head of russias Investment Fund who just earlier this week came back from the United Arab Emirates where phase 3 of the Clinical Trials of sputnik was approved ability to go sputnik. You know go on for you 3 was mean in the issue of participate to use definitely very important we believe you we use a strategic cob for concurring the bios not only of the middle east in the world now marie i know that youve been vaccinated yourself. Be the 1st russian vaccine can you tell us more about your experience with it is a double blind trial meaning placebo is used and neither doctor is nor the participants know who is getting the wharton only 75 percent of the volunteer is actually jabbed with a real short and till the last moment i was hoping that im on them i got 2 injections already on the 1st and 21st day of the trial so i got reactions like fever muscle pain and had a half to both injections actually now i just now received results showing that my body right now has i. G. G. Antibodies meaning my body reacted to. 1000 to corona virus as if i was infected vaccine apparently i got the vaccine. Job so im. Very happy with that. To another headline today on a busy news day russias foreign minister has questioned whether the country can continue to do business with the European Union if the threats and accusations from brussels continue circular for off spoke to Russian Media executives including our to the editor in chief Margarita Simonyan he addressed the range of issues including the on rest in better roofs on turkeys involvement in the current conflict. Taylor takes us through the main point. We had a very lengthy and really comprehensive conversation between foreign minister Sergey Lavrov and editors in chief of a number of media organizations that was so much to impact that such an a ray of topics but one that was given considerable attention was washes increasingly difficult relationship with the European Union now love that of course the 2 have mutual interests especially economic ones lets think of course just north stream to Gas Pipelines but all of this was made very difficult by what the fire of foreign minister described as a condescending attitude from the blog and this constant to mons being put on moscow this is what he said about the impact of that after. There was no rules the question is not just where the business as usual is possible but with any business with the European Union is possible a tool the e. U. Behaves arrogantly towards us and looks condescendingly down at russia demanding answers from us for all the crimes it imagines we have committed i think we are under no obligation to respond to that. Also add to that a versa for you but minority within the European Union was only father undermining the relationship now of course this all comes against the backdrop of wosm diplomatic ties between moscow and brussels as a result of the alleged poisoning of russian opposition figure me now one of the significant part of what lavrov said talked about double standards he said. Often the e. U. Puts much more pressure on moscow than it would on itself and he said especially when it comes to the idea of interference in Foreign Affairs this is something that people few very subjectively but wouldnt go to. In 2017 during the election in france Marine Le Pen a legitimate politician came to moscow to meet with president putin then French Foreign minister publicly claim that this was an attempted foreign interference in the electoral process in france now look at who macron and merkel are Holding Meetings with svetlana t. Cannot skier no one pays any attention to the fact that this could also be considered as foreign interference in belorussian affairs such a lot from laid out his view on what the end goal was from these verbal assaults from unfair competition for calls for sanctions and for causing tellme oil russias borders. On the us the west will always try to hold us back to undermine our political and economic capacities this is all part of the same old game they want to throw russia of violence not just with direct assaults like dirty competition and illegitimate sanctions but also by creating instability on our borders. Now one out of russias key relationships on the International Stage that was top spot was of course with washington and quite frankly he said with less than a month to go to the election whoever wins in november whether its trump or bite and probably very little would change he reiterated that all moscow has ever wanted was good cooperation but im an equal footing and that sometimes washingtons Foreign Policy made that very difficult other topics such as the protests in batteries or indeed a peaceful resolution to the conflict and i care about well also discussed quite extensively but suddenly the lions shot from todays conversation was dedicated to the current state to solve russias relationship with Key International players on the future of the message he seemed very uncompromising things cannot continue as they are business cannot go on as usual whether that serves as a trick for more compromise or want to standing will have to be seen. Through that we also heard from a number of guests who believe that the spike the harsh language coming from the e. U. The blocks to lead to good relations with moscow. I think it will last a some time and then of course the continue. The most Important Mission germany and europe could take to stall the. Pipeline between russia and germany north stream to it of course to the germans dont want to do that because some guy and you took very badly we need russian gas and so they dont put them on the sanction with the sanctions really sanctions its you know wagging the finger its really not up to standard where youre to. Some International Talking with russia which is another you know more power in the world we have a new wave of russian. And chinese. Propaganda coming from the us there is a net group of n. G. O. S both to a politically trained politicians and relation that is uninformed on russia that its very easy to make such a and to Russian Company russia is not very smart in using. We dont have enough pro russian n. G. O. S they dont have a. European russian cultural exchange. It would be very hope russia try to be a little bit have a little bit more p. R. That makes them tick and easier for us. Ready to push the other side. The leaders of russia and turkey have agreed on the vital importance of our polling the ceasefire between armenia and azerbaijan in a phone conversation with president on lot of all to raise moscows concerns over the role of militants from the middle east being brought into the current conflict zone a fragile cease fire was brokered on saturday but has been repeatedly violated with ours or by john under many are pointing the finger of blame at each other the fighting in korea back more than 2 weeks ago but has roots going back 3 decades the earth is mostly inhabited by Ethnic Armenians but is legally part of us russia our correspondent igor said on the reports from its capital. Before the war this street used to be bustling with life neighbors would come visit each other mothers would read bedtime stories to their children well now its almost completely abandoned after and as a by johnny airstrike basically theres a huge Apartment Building here which is no more there are no windows it has partially collapsed its simply unsafe to live here here people as they ran to safety they abandoned their belongings like childrens bicycles they simply had no time to pack everything and i have to admit that since the truce the city of stepanek the capital of nagornokarabakh has it more or less easy but do still happen but they are move rather than they used to be and they are almost entirely almost completely limited to nighttime its more or less the same in other towns of nagornokarabakh like the towns of martini and shushi in fact thing is similar pictures similar very very similar devastation can also be seen from a 0 by john its 2nd largest city of ganja came under shelling just a couple of days ago. And it would be wrong to say that the fighting has ceased elsewhere too as were filming this theres a faint but a very distinctive sound of shelling coming from over the mountains to the south from here that is where the town of adroit is which is viewed as a gateway into nagornokarabakh so it is a very heavily contested area the fighting is also fierce in the north the. Seems both armenia and azerbaijan are trying to get a firm grip on some key strategic places and heights before real peace negotiations begin as both militaries are fighting for diplomatic leverage im done of reporting from the going to carry back r. T. And take a look at this a belgian cellist has performed at a heavily damaged cathedral in the city of. Karbala the cathedral was shelled a week ago the musician has armenian roots played a piece by an armenian composure he told us what inspired his performance. I played a concert exactly one year ago in. Church and it was very hard breaking to see such a peaceful church can be in the historical. Building architect or can just be bombed for nothing and force my way off my prayer. As a musician does the only thing i can do and if every one in the war does what they do the best thing award will be a peaceful place. To take you to another area in the conflict dont choose the azerbaijan claim that its regions were being shelled by Armenian Forces both nations the ny violating the cease fire these images are from the as you recently of target which according to baquba has been shelled several times in recent days as a result people have taken shelter in their basements heres what some of them have to say. Constantly theyre shelling us now with different weapons with missiles bombs tanks rocket launchers they use it all if it hit one week ago a shell struck and abstainers neighbors home was completely destroyed it was impossible to take anything from the building our home was also severely damaged dools windows even the walls everything is ruined. We cannot sleep at night when they stop shelling for an hour or so we can close our eyes now then we get woken up again its the same thing over and over. The director of the World Health Organization has urged countries not to pursue a herd immunity strategy against their coronavirus he said deliberately allowing the virus the spread among populations is dangerous and it is an ethical. Out of the amenities i cheered by protecting people from a virus not by exposing them to eat never in the history of probably killed has heard immunity been used as a strategy for responding to an outbreak a little more a pandemic its scientifically and ethically problematic some scientists have argued that covert 19 should be allowed to circulate freely to a large populations to build up a natural resistance to the virus the idea gain some traction early on in the pandemic sweden defacto pursued herd immunity while the u. K. Initially considered it as an option earlier nih the scouts the issue with a panel of experts. Herd immunity is it really such a bad idea i think it is really a bad idea one of the primary reason is that we dont really know a lot about this why this humanity against 4 lives is not long lasting the mexico what we can expect as we year so this means that we have to go through this process over and probably will be very costly and probably optical that gets the basic idea that we that we hoping to achieve some level of immunity within the population indeed the herd level of immunity is just how do we get the do we get the through a vaccine or do we get the true through natural infection and whats going to be whats going to cause least to us societys overall they w. H. O. It hasnt been perhaps as clear as it could have been particularly this week it also said that locked islands are bad are they contradicting themselves how do you see this this advice a lot of the information thats coming from governments and from World Health Organizations and agencies are are really confusing for most people if a lockdown is happening or not if its a good thing or not and now about issues of herd immunity and so its coming down to who is communicating the right message and what is the role of of the individual trying to protect their family do they think that its a good idea if somebody gets chicken pox or they dont have it later in life do they get coated now and thats a really dangerous position to be putting individuals sent increasingly people are looking at the example of sweden stuck on hoss and officially adopted a herd immunity strategy but that has been the result essentially in practice another dealing death rail its almost 0 how they got it right through one way or another well it includes people they have been claiming that there is no restrictions or backed level of the lockdown that other countries have adopted but the have had all those control years that ought to quiet when might this infection on number of people. Either but there were pictures wear and tear of people in restaurants and cafes when essentially the rest of europe wasnt doing that they where in sweden oh yeah absolutely i think sweden is certainly a very able stages off the front of me i think it is a lot of your culture to move forward because we already know whats going to happen tomorrow in the swedish sports factor so although certainly the swedish perspective is a very good very able to compare between but i think it is too early to nicole that they have. Adopted right approach as the w. H. O. Has pointed out lock downs are incredibly damaging each other ways and we and one governments are struggling with these balancing the damage from lock downs with the with the damage from not look down and they cant win whichever decision they make their price is to be paid and its extremely difficult to know which course of action is the right 1. 00 and we probably only know in retrospect government account to everything if people i suppose are aware of the risk should they be allowed to go on to expose themselves to potential infection and take their chances and perhaps get that immunity level well the real issue is this is the inequality lockdowns are showing at the choices that people have to make a not a person who has to put food on the table leg like all of us. May have to leave the house to to do that so we have to be concerned about not just Emotional Wellbeing but the economic well being of the educational wellbeing and so those are the risks that people are are also balancing out. Well the 1st case of covert reinfection has been confirmed in the us according to a study published by the Lancet Medical Journal the patients symptoms were far more severe the 2nd time around the 25 year old man from nevada who has no recorded immune disorder 1st tested positive in april he later recovered with 2 negative test but in june develop severe symptoms and again tested positive its the 5th proven case of reinfection registered worldwide in the netherlands the 1st death after reinfection was confirmed on tuesday mark pandora the lead author of the us that he says people should not assume theyre safe after recovering from covert Scientific Data that we have from this case and other cases would indicate that if somebody has had hoped at 19 we just dont know whether that person can be reinspected again its possible that they could be reinfected again but its also possible that some people are immune in fact it could be that the vast majority of people are immune and it could be Something Else that could be our immune system gives us a resistance that makes the 2nd case a lesser but asymptomatic action despite the confirmed cases of reinfection some people do assume their immune have been caught and recovered from the disease donald trump seemingly among them who volatile covert earlier this month u. S. President says hes even ready to get up close and personal with his supporters. Now they say im amused i could see i feel so powerful i was just so everyone that i was just the guys it took you to the women and everybody just give you a big fact is. Im not sure mark penn dory wants his case because the lead author of the lancet article remember he believes that populations can only be protected by a vaccine. Are all real hope of achieving a herd immunity from vaccines and backs and all of that have been infected cant make the assumption that theyre immune because there are now been several cases that show that it isnt true because you can be really infected you really have to be treated as if you were never in fact and thats not only to protect you but to protect the rights of the prospect of reinfection mix the need for a krone virus vaccine perhaps all the more urgent for Many National governments big pharma they are all vying to get the 1st job to market but Peoples Health appears not to be the sole motivation. Delves into. Things will never go back to the way they were too many people have died too many people have lost jobs and enterprises livelihoods the damage has been too great but we can still hope for some kind of normality the only way we will get completely back to normal is by having not maybe not the 1st generation vaccines but been eventually a vaccine that is super effective that is the best Case Scenario the lower risk goes away and we all live happily ever after but now though thats a pipe dream judge for yourself the 2nd wave is here new universally accepted treatment still no consensus on herd immunity versus social distancing people kaante even agree where the mosques will look the strategy weld wide seems to be to cross our fingers and hope for the best. The vaccine represents a more important factor than the election result for the path of equities well of course it is promises and cab pain speeches and fiery rhetoric on killing to save lives or reopen businesses the World Economy its all about the vaccine listen to them in the states the election isnt about making america better its about returning life to what it was under discussed is to earth progress who are making to deliver a safe and effective vaccine in record time if the doctors tell us that we should take it ill be the 1st in line to take it absolutely but if Donald Trump Tells us i said to him that weve taken im not taking it doesnt that scenes in human trials globally 100 more in the works this isnt so much a race is a good that the science is so complex you cant predict what will work and what wont until youve tried a new matter how smart thorough or diligent you are luck might just sink you as a percentage i had pas all of that study is that it as it investigates this one event in the u. K. Johnson and johnsons had to put its crucial late stage testing inhalants on hold due to an unexplained illness in a study participant a johnson and johnson pos in its Coronavirus Vaccine trial over an unexplained illness drug maker astra zeneca is hoping its in phase 3 trial of a possible coding 1000. 00 vaccine after one participant came down with an unexplained illness you understand now the stakes year elections go to me its unimaginable fortunes to be made and millions of lives to be saved but how also matters trump doesnt win from a chinese developed vaccine the american or European Pharmaceuticals they dont make billions if its russias vaccine that works better so you do what humanity has done since time immemorial you spike the competition you. Rip them you malign them and you libel them this is much like the cold war space race but its a vaccine race in fact russia is calling this that seen sputnik 5 but be skeptical Clinical Trials were short they were excel aerated the stadium is developments is being questions proof of its effectiveness has not been presented a vaccine that has not been trying to a vaccine that has not been tested outside of russia americas top researchers say russia how did corners to develop its corona virus vaccine u. S. Regulators are resistant to the new coolness cut when it comes to testing and for many t. J. That is the key difference between what america is doing and what the russians have Just Announced will need to be very practical in scope just ran through trying to each other because he was black its very unhealthy its going to have to go and very unproductive we all remember when the pandemic began european nations snatching supplies mosques and ventilators from each other the u. S. Trying to prove them by out of Vaccine Developers among european allies in desperate times its each to themselves and with the stakes these high no one wants to share the glory or the money more i guess dia of istanbul but if youd like to have your say on a day to see what other people are thinking about ballots or any of this our stories youll find a lions share of the now on our Facebook Page why not leave a comment or 2 there goodbye for.
