A candidate treatment developed at unprecedented speed by a team at the university of oxford has shown promising early results Scientists Say its safe for humans and triggered the critical immune response which could stop the virus in its tracks all the findings are encouraging larger trials still need to be done well brennan begins our coverage from oxford. Phase one really couldnt have gone much better for the oxford team early positive signs now confirmed in the published research this is a boat on the park but were now moving rapidly forwards to try to evaluate whether the vaccine actually protects the population. By conducting large scale trials we have 10000 people already vaccinated around the world we still see how the vaccine in older people more is the disease than the. So thats the subject of work and to be more public and. The oxford vaccine is adapted from a common cold virus found in chimpanzees spike glycoprotein a genetic material from the co with 19 virus was added the hope is the human body will develop immunity to the spike protein stopping the virus from entering cells and preventing infection tests indicate the vaccine produces 2 reactions by producing a defensive antibody response as well as t. Cells which attack the infected cells t. Cell response peaked just 14 days after volunteers were injected antibody response peak to 28 days and side effects were minor mainly just tiredness and headaches treated with paracetamol im hopeful ive got my fingers crossed but to say that im 100 percent confident that well get a vaccine this year or indeed next year is a last just you know an exaggeration were not there yet this is a hugely encouraging result for the team here in oxford but provoking an immune reaction is just the 1st stage in Vaccine Development phase 3 trials are already underway in the u. K. South africa and brazil are looking at issues such as optimal dosage and exactly how much protection vaccinated people have when exposed to the actual corona virus fairly cameron was injected with the oxford vaccine as part of the phase 3 trials shes a Family Doctor herself and has lost friends and patients to the. Iris rather than sitting in front of the t. V. And screaming at the mortality rates every day screaming at politicians or getting annoyed and say should media arrive i really felt very strongly. That i wanted to do something i just wanted to be a part of the answer after a day i think theres going to be one on set to pave it i think theres going to be a few different says 9 in 10 vaccine projects and in failure and there is no guarantee that the early promise of the oxford trials will lead to an effective covert job but it is a very positive step paul brennan aljazeera oxford an aspect to professor adrian hill from the Oxford UniversityResearch Group explains what will happen next where at the stage now of looking for efficacy or seen and that has involved recruiting almost 10000. 00 equal interests are all phase 3 trial those people are being recruited at 19 centers around the country in britain and we are following those to see who gets infected by and. That will come to a conclusion as soon as we have enough cases in the trial that hasnt happened yet it will probably take a couple of months at least yet so we will get an answer on whether or not there are more cases or less cases ideally of vaccine cohabit in the backseat route and in the polls we are confident that as with nearly all the x. E. The immune responses last years not months and even though they may decline a bit over time we dont expect that the initial problem in other words the vaccine should last for at least a year and think fully long. The World Health Organization is tracking at least 160. 00 Coronavirus Vaccines normally they can take years to be approved for public use but its hoped these could be available much sooner than that the vast majority of vaccines are still in the preclinical stage in tested on animals not people about 30 are in phase one testing where the potential vaccines are given to a handful of people or face to whether tested on hundreds of people there are 3 products that are providing most hope and have reached phase 3 testing where thousands of people receive the drug to confirm its safety and to check for any side effects or these are the Chinese Company sin of ak its conducting phase 3 testing in Brazil University of melbourne and Murdoch Childrens Research Institute in australia and the university of Oxford Astra Zeneca trial which is combining phases 2. 00 and 3. 00 in the u. K. And has just gone it in to face 3 tests in south africa and brazil. Well head of the show says its crucial that any vaccine is distributed fairly across the globe go. For a Fair Distribution and especially access to the poor and those who cannot afford the most important element will be political commitment especially by our leaders. With political commitment of course. Thats the only way you can get you know Fair Distribution but one of the warring part of this we see is. Some countries moving the other direction for this we can speak not a democrat donald is the lead organizer just treatment which is a Campaign Group demanding fair access to medicines he joins us live from bristol via skype and so and i gather that you are the good news of an early promise vaccine is not something that your that sort of hope for about. And i think we are very very hopeful and thanks laura probably our notes this is definitely good news no i think the world is looking to have vaccine thats a factor for this coronavirus to help us to return to normality but getting an effective vaccine is just you know even though its complicated and difficult its just step one the key is making sure that the people who need it can get access to it fairly and as dr ted ross from the w. H. O. Was saying you just know were seeing some governments instead of stepping up to collaborate to maximize their chances of getting equitable access to this their stock seen at a fair price were seeing the u. K. Government moving in the opposite direction and hoping really to fuel an arms race between countries trying to get preferential access to those vaccines that are in development and that kind of i just want to. Read out of that ive found there is actually there are 75. 00 countries which have joined in this kovacs facility which is a mechanism designed to to guarantee what they have a quote rapid fair and equitable access to kevin 1000. 00 vaccines worldwide new cases to be part of that one what is it you want beyond that. Yes of the collapse vaccine is are at the kodak facilities are is an important part of their global architecture that we need to build around this search for and an effort to get access to a vaccine but it explicitly excluded some of the things that weve seen historically prevent people around the world from getting access to medicines at a fair price and in an equitable way and thats the intellectual Property Rights that drug Drug Companies monopolies on the products that they produce so what were seeing with the response right no is left after me much you are getting access and control over vaccine hundreds who are developed largely with public funds untouched pairs of care for them and this astra zeneca Oxford University is one example of that theres fighting was produced with public funds in Oxford University but its not only hundreds of astra zeneca and we know very little about the terms of that data so weve got no real assurance that the price that were going to be paying for this vaccine beyond this short term period of is turned immediate undamaged is going to be a fair what we also dont have any cigars around is your own that will have a sufficient supply of this from the model manufacturers that really need it has to get there how to get around that issue that actually these things do cost more for our money minute the reception the lancet in october 28th which said that in general vaccine about from discover to this can cost billions of dollars can take over 10 years to complete and has an average 94 percent chance of failure and so you didnt pay the scientists to do the research and thats presumably why that the Big Pharma Companies come in and. Well whats really interesting with this up for a while is at astra zeneca since they did the deal to get control over this oxygen produced vaccine theyve secured 2000000000. 00 or thereabouts in funding from governments and have been very clear that all of their costs are going to be covered by the Public Sector so the normal agreement that these Drug Companies take risks and then that risk is rewarded isnt really the case in this circumstance so we shouldnt really be giving them a lot believe as well as paying for them to supply the medicine what we would like to see the u. K. Government doing is supporting an initiative which the delusional proposed which would allow us to peru all of the relevant intellectual Property Rights all of the diff to the research im know out there to ensure that everybody is able to make use of that that there is no monopoly that provides the supply that we need or the skill that we need and we dont allow any country or any company to hold the world to ransom with that very high price that means that people dont get access when they need it and then thats what we dont we need a peoples vaccine to respond to a concert 90 damage done and thank you very much indeed for talking to scientists there thanks so much. Talks on a massive Pandemic Recovery package are now in their 4th day in brussels with here being Council President shall michelle saying hes confident a deal will be struck agreement over a 2. 00 trillion dollars budget has been a set by deep ideological differences focused on the roughly 850000000000. 00 Coronavirus Recovery Fund as highlighted divisions over how much would be repayable the latest proposal is for 445000000000. 00 in essentially free grants thats more than countries including the netherlands want and less than the amount table by france and germany. Joins us live from paris so were nearing the end of the day for any indication so far how toxic. Well we know as the talks are continuing look when they began when the 27. 00 leaders of the event the states met on friday of course they probably didnt realize that these would be such a marathon talks ahead of them but what was on the table at that point was a proposal by the e. U. Commission 860000000000. 00 Recovery Plan now the talks over the last few days have been tense and theyve been fraught and the reason is because you Member States leaders are divided over the size of this fund in the 1st place and also how the money should be distributed on one side you have countries like germany france spain and italy pushing for a big a big fund as possible they want an ambitious fund because they say that theres a time now for unity solidarity thats what needs to be shown on the other hand you have fiscally conservative countries such as the netherlands denmark austria and sweden theyve become known as the frugal 4 who are really concerned about the idea of shared debt they prefer for example grants they prefer i should say yes logans over grants excuse me but what we have now is the e. U. Council head show michel who has come out after these talks and said im going to put a proposition on the table based on all the discussions weve had and what he is pushing for is for them to sign off on this fall figure of 860000000000. 00 and that figure would be roughly split between grants and loans now whether or not the leaders of the e. U. Member states will go for it well have to see but we know that the french president over the past few days and weeks has been urging the e. U. Really to back this proposal he says this is a crunch time for the e. U. Because if the e. U. Fails to help we can Member States in this time of unprecedented crisis then many people in the e. U. Will simply lose faith in the e. U. Project it will fuel anti e. U. Sentiments so hes calling for a real ambition to be shown by the easily. To not meet a spirit of compromise and ambition is to take the risk of returning to hard times and for some who are concerned about this in the end it may end up costing us even more so i will continue to fight on these subjects in particular with german chancellor Angela Merkel since as you know weve worked together a lot over the past days and nights where youd have to think that e. U. Leaders would want to wrap up this summit sooner than later because theyve been talking for so many days but what theyre actually discussing right now is the next long term budget the Recovery Fund is attached to that budget so those talks are expected to go on for some hours yet and just about i thank you very much. Economic progress is central to germanys political image and the way it helped to lead europe but with a crisis on our hands and america has decided it could be time to spend as dominic cain reports rebellion Angela Merkels mantra was always for European Partners to live within their means but then came corona and with it what she calls the biggest challenge postwar europe has faced reason enough in her mind to abandon 12 years of thrift and use the german presidency of the e. U. To its best advantage firstly allowed to. Make this. Stuff 1st be what we want now the Recovery Fund all the next generation a new program it has to be staggering Something Special because the task at hand is huge is also the answer has to be big as well but that. Is the is it some analysts say what changed her mind was the indiscriminate nature of the pandemic that the countries who need the most help did not bring about their own misfortune she realized ok 1st its an issue of solidarity real human solidarity not a political one but then 2nd also on the political level to hope those governments are actually who are already close to or through an economic bankrupt due to the shutdown of their countries and their economies but how much of merkels mission is altruism and how much in light and self interest because germany remains the main source both for import and export goods for a majority of e. U. Member states meaning the harder that they suffer now the more likely the currently ailing German Economy might suffer further down the line there are certainly a combination of self interest but also an understanding that this is the moment for for leadership within europe and germany might be the right player to execute this leadership it will be the last president s the under chancellor merkel so its her time to create a legacy project and move the European Union forward in a substantial. 3 surveys suggest many germans approve of merkels handling of the coronavirus but theyre also worried at the effect its had on their economy germany is in recession with millions of people either on reduced hours or unemployed which explains why the maclow medical plan is unpopular in some conservative circles many germans like to think of themselves as good europeans willing to help friends and neighbors in their time of need thats usually meant their government lending money to other you countries but now that america wants to give their money away real work change dominic kane aljazeera who are.
