And ongoing unrest on the streets of beirut is the entire governments resignation fails to quell public anger over last tuesdays deadly paul blasts. Hello there good afternoon watching r. T. International just gone for here in the russian capital president putin has revealed that russia has registered the worlds 1st Coronavirus Vaccine for you so monks civilians the countrys Health Minister has added to that the treatment has proven to be safe and highly effective in tests so far with a Regulatory Approval does mean research cannot progress to the next Critical Mass testing stage with more details his room on costs or. The name of the new vaccine is nick fought with the roman numeral which of course it means 5 out of mere putin and nouns that earlier on cheers day and he said he hopes that this vaccine will be mass produced very soon thats have a listen now if you can use using the student as far as i knew this morning the 1st vaccine from corona virus in the world was registered among the countrys Health Minister to further inform us about what i already knew that its working effectively in forming a tough immunity. How the vaccine was developed in collaboration between the military and civilian contractors were reported said member assigned here on r. T. About the progress of how this vaccine was developed the Russian Health Ministry Says that c. G. To its 2 phase nature this this vaccine will last for at least 2 years 2 for anyone that was in not kill 8 its the developers all the vaccine are saying that soon 1000 more people will be vaccinated in the nearest future in order to perform more research and theyre also saying that people exposed to the code and i had seen a working closely in the fight against cove it will be vaccinated among the 1st people as well now lets take a look at whats next for this vaccine. Representatives of the World Health Organization are also in such with the russian authorities in order to assess the vaccine that was just register theres been some concern asked. So the speed with which russians have unveiled this vaccine but experts from of the developers side are saying that they had at least a 20 year head start in creating this vaccine because the technology thats used there is based on adenovirus or basically on the common cold and so they say theyre saying that this is how they were able to do this very quickly well the head of the Russian Sovereign Wealth Fund that is actually financing the Vaccine Research talked to us about the production possibilities and also the next steps ahead. Real radio received tentative interest and prelim in their requests for 1000000000. 00 us for auction but seeing we have also built partnership to produce a vaccine in 5 countries and we now have production capability all 500000000 but seems that can be produced in the next 12 months mostly works in produced in russia will be serving as the russian market and big scene for used in other countries will do serving the country and also other markets and we expect Clinical Trials to start saudi arabia feel it becomes very soon we are open to have Clinical Trials in different nations we opened the orders i was always conscious of that scene and it was always come true is a production capability to produce for it seems we are open to Licensing Agreement and partnership with them to produce we open to a share of technology was a us we believed again with every joint and then me which is kind of virus and we need to put aside our political a difficult as we basically will really track people who are receiving civic scene over the next couple of months but there is a specific proprietor at best government to institute develop that basically tracks very efficient and subordinate a bad king specifically as a spike was a colonel virus well since the new state and been hearing from leading men misimpressions science and Research Community and for them its a mix of good news into the knowledge that is still more work today. Because a limited number of people help the people who were tested and there seems to be no. Negative effects of that. Theres also information in the and in the blood that people have been vaccinated and what he can stick around but that doesnt prove that these antibodies are actually deep and that. The infection and this is something that can only be tested during lloyds feel these 3 trials which are yet to be done so i think its really premature to announce that this is something which is ready to. Let alone be destroyed or millions of people you know the last fight here us russian government in the last at a lot of money into development of immoral acts him and thats why arsenal so good because it was started during the last 5 years so there are 2 santos there developed democracy and both sometimes are only famous for russia so for Something Else got Money Institute in moscow and to set the standard is the very thought of institute your most reviewers so these are 2 surplus of antiviral experts that are actually actually its pretty loose on nature really produced 2 different versions. Now there has been a further night of disturbances in better roofs in the wake of presently claiming another landslide election when the result is being disputed by the opposition and ive seen sporadic clashes on the streets and riot Police Deployed at armrests has now turned deadly one protester was confirmed killed overnight becoming the 1st casualty of a crisis that is unlikely to fade anytime soon. Just take in people that are doing nothing or you. Have swallowed us here years ago have come out but i want to leave and of real peace will come. You. Know more how much of this mass that is going on can you take i dont understand what whole. What it is the worst civil unrest better race is seen since the country emerged from the soviet union even years ago some protesters are also resorting to use im building barricades disturbing video theres also an urge to have a car being driven at a riot officer president of the shanghai meanwhile insists the Police Response is appropriate in the face of mounting concern from abroad including from the united states. The u. S. Is deeply concerned about the conduct of the election which was not free and fair severe restrictions on violence access for candidates intimidation tactics against opposition candidates and detentions of Peaceful Protesters and journalists marred the process but on the 30 people around 25. 00 Police Officers have been injured legs hands broken they would deliberately hears it so they responded with why are you crying and the response will be adequate and we will not allow you to tear the country apart which is the struggle but ive also been on a number of lower level protests from better russians living abroad here in moscow for example there was a gathering outside the embassy is expats called for change back home number of russians also gathered to a demanding the release of russian journalists whod been detained in minsk. Talk to 3 what happened. Think of the following situation in a post soviet republic russias western neighbor on the one hand the opposition daily gearing up for nonstop protests like theres no tomorrow against a president who was a covert dissident whos been in charge of the cult. 3 for more than 25 years i can tell you that some of the opposition have already been posting ways and instructions how to go and combat with police how to build barricades and yes indeed there have been some instances of authorities being attacked but then on the other hand that same president Alexander Lukashenko claiming a landslide victory in a poll where he didnt allow pretty much any International Observers ironically because of covert 19 and he also said that he wouldnt tolerate anything close to the my dad protests in neighboring ukraine under these kind of circumstances when officers it seems have gotten the orders to get hold of pretty much anyone who decides to go out in the street to voice their discontent up probably journalists are the ones that are becoming the most vulnerable after the protesters and indeed we got proof of that on monday night when quite a few reporters were detained in belarus and cluing r. T. Russian correspondent constantin but in the violent yes but i was riot Police Officers whether the road was blocked and they said no its no come with us they twisted my hands and pushed me into their vehicle 200 or something meters away i should say they didnt beat me they behaved relatively well as well as riot police can behave as usual they put a plastic tonico my hands but didnt tighten it too much it was difficult to breathe so i didnt have enough force to climb on to the vehicles to just follow neutral so these were just single isolated cases and i can tell you that with some reporters connection has been lost for more than a day but in constantines case he was lucky to be released quickly and he didnt suffer any injuries but again that wasnt the case all the time because we saw pictures of another colleague of mine. Who is an experience were a journalist we saw him being. Carried seemingly unconscious after being beaten up and i can tell you that here outside the bell Russian Embassy in moscow on monday night we saw fellow reporters coming here to deliver a strong message to the authorities in minsk when you go to the office with me and im renting simeone paragraph flat before going to minsk he texted me if something happens to me send money to my wife yesterday night i was monitoring events and saw a photo of a guy being dragged by his hands that looks like simular but not his clothes so i forgot about it and on monday it turns out it was him senor theres been this perception that hes the simian and others in the long list of journalists no matter russian or not were abused violence against journalists is unacceptable the arent produce a prince and the bands there are observers covering about does the opposition seem to have the intention of stopping what theyre doing perhaps the answer is no you can look at the telegram channels through which the word is being spread in some cases they only had 100 or 1000 subscribers now again in some cases this number has gone up to hundreds of thousands so this is clearly a signal that all the other had like i said with all the riot gear with rubber bullets with water cannon the authorities are saying that they wont tolerate any of this so we could be in for more trouble in the streets of bell roos with protesters unfortunately possibly with journalists and Police Officers as well where the main opposition candidate whos publicly rejected the Election Results has fled to neighboring lithuania taken off sky says she understands the reaction it may cause but she did it for her children here. 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 tait. Ok lets get the views now of International Affairs commentator marco gas it shes been waiting patiently on the line for us market good afternoon we heard there the taken off sky has now fled to lithuania do you think that will affect or have an impact on her support back home. Well she certainly. Children are close to a. Lot of. My old street. Clothes or your old. Tricks or. Is it. Marco marseille interrupt you there because were having real problems on the line herring you are hope we can do is try and call you back in a couple of minutes and see if we can resurrect the interview but in the mine we just cant hear what youre saying im afraid so were trying get back to you shortly ok. Youre watching r. T. Just come quarter past 4 here in moscow well take a quick break and well be back until. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic developments only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. The world is driven by shaped by our own personal. Military things. We fear to ask. Welcome back youre watching our international weve got to say weve got mark i guess its back hes an International Affairs commentator and can talk to us now about the latest situation in batteries because before we found out we didnt have a good line with you we were just mentioning that the Opposition Leader to kind of sky had fled to lithuania i want to know g. Feel that this would actually impact on her support back home. Well shes taken steps to make sure it doesnt because shes quoting what the population is like to hear that she did it for the sake of her children and everyone cares about children so this is the message that she feels will make sure her support at home remains constant but in my opinion shes actually go to lithuania in order to be able to have a secure accommodation a secure line which she cant be overheard on most probably from the u. S. Embassy bilious the capital of lithuania so she had basically gone to the thruway had to have a discussion to negotiate real support from the u. S. Administration for an extended post Election Campaign called civil disobedience to put it mildly so thats what i think shes doing i think the americans will play hard to get ill tell her how hard it is how they dont drive better recency owns a little a look at shane cohens the arms of russia and she once she promises everything to them in return full support then shell have her orders as well from washington most probably from my competitor because it will be important for her to understand that shes been pointed at the highest level in washington and therefore theres no backing out of any deal that she reaches through that discussion yet i mean very interesting analysis we shouldnt forget that shes a novice isnt she in terms of politics which she really be going to such a high level say saying to try and get support i think that she would she will now now that shes got the world media profile she suddenly becomes interesting for people i compare where previously he wouldnt have the time of day for shes also as you say enormous so fairly weak position that shes in and she will be being molded into being a pop it very effectively by the americans whove done it so often before weve seen it in the ukraine weve seen it in serbia its always the same kind of pattern you go rent a mob in the city center youve got that dictatorial looking efforts that rip. Pression but we also see that in the ukraine they. Tried a soft approach to city center disturbances and look at shanghai is clearly not going to make the same mistake as hes already signaled and well see already that his opponents are taking shape in the city center in better routes in minsk in the shape of a rather tough looking hoodlums who seem to be from the same. Style as belgrade and previously ok well what we do know this is that taken over sky has supporters not to confront the police to think or say violence calm down in better race i think that the calm does not suit the agendas of external players i mean the American Interest washingtons interest to be at more accurate will be a failed state another failed state on russias borders hopefully with russia getting the blame for the situation the americans will certainly want the better russian population to be aided mated for any talk of unity with russia so what they really want is for the situation to get worse not better certainly in the short and medium term i dont know what the russian population will get out of that because ukraine is certainly population didnt get too much out of their regime changes i dont think that it will be any luckier ok just lastly a market what do you predict will be next. Well hes a hes tried to win western approval by taking an anti too soon position and it has to some extent protected it and so far i think once he realizes that hes considered as a little bit the old guard he doesnt talk the covert talk he doesnt work the coronal he does his own thing hes not there man he realizes that his position is in jeopardy and i think he will try possibly moving closer to. Also get close really closer to moscow but certainly what he will definitely be doing is learning the lessons of past colorado allusions and not allowing that city center to be taken over by a permanent presence which will ultimately be legitimized and destroyed his own fascinating analysis mark a good to talk to this afternoon at market International Affairs commentator thank you thank you. For that ebonys government meanwhile and the Prime Minister there have resigned after mounting public anger following last tuesdays devastating chemical explosions the number of deaths is now thought to be over 200 and hundreds of thousands have been left homeless there have been days of protests as local squarely blame the government citing is even demick corruption middle east correspondent paula slay reports now close to one of the overnight hours. Situation here is becoming more and more unruly behind you seem to be Lebanese Police theyve managed to push protesters all the way back from the Parliament Building were now in one of the side streets but there is tear gas and were going to move forward a little bit because rocks are being thrown in our direction by the protesters now the protesters are still out on the streets despite the fact that earlier the lebanese Prime Minister resigned he resigned along with his cabinet but what the protesters here are telling me is that they are not going to stop taking to the streets until the whole parliament itself designed so its possible that scenes like this will continue weve witnessed people being wounded again weve witnessed ambulances fearing them to and from the scene so a lot of the same scenes unfolding as weve witnessed over the past 2 days this is violence that started on saturday night more than 700 people have been injured one policeman so far has been killed are no we getting tear gas ok at our break for a moment while i put on my mask and well show you what the last few days of violence have looked like. It was. It was it. Was. It was. It was it was. Now people here are calling this a revolution ive been talking to protesters and they say that this revolution is not going to be over as i mentioned until the parliament itself resigns beirut really hasnt witnessed scenes like this in many many years weve had lots of tear gas on the streets or back the camera man was injured at the same time the police are being accused of using Excessive Force and they have it now. To using both tear gas and live bullets were going to move forward again because they tear gas coming in this direction and reply to something towards us but as i say the situation in baby to a lot of anger a lot of frustration not only about the explosion at the pool but the pool so im not whole mismanagement of the government and its failure to take accountability and responsibility this is actually the 2nd governments had to resign and im not sure how true but its. Really a government resign engine turbo last year and then a really good managers of captured if i wasnt you want to sort of may well be that person you know remains in power as a church of Prime Minister for most of 2 so you also once served who are just as well nope you have to resign they want independent people who have some kind of reputation credibility and accountability so thats why its in the 2nd scene as i said here was that it seems that people want to be near palm tree elections in the hope that new kind of hits will emerge well the same old problem where it was the last 30 years and you get a new expression you can strongly. Well there is almost nothing left of the site where nearly 3000. 00 tons of Ammonium Nitrate exploded. But the repercussions are being felt across the city and also across the country the already stretched Health Services found itself overwhelmed by the thousands of injured victims and with thousands of homes and businesses tonight destroyed it has left an incalculable toll on families and their livelihoods were living close to a couple on their wedding day were back to show you at the time simply trying to film what should have been the happiest day of their lives they luckily survived and along with their family describe what they went through. The. Screaming because i was afraid that i might find some of my family missing were injured or something bad happens. The most terrible moment was when we heard the loud explosion. And when we heard the scream and we were looking at each other to now if any of us had been hurt. Or dead. The wedding took place in a miserable state of mind because we knew that there were wounded and dead and there was chaos and missing people the groom and the bride and everyone else were confused thank god they got married but their state of mind was bad. In the explosion and i was sitting here on the sofa and we were eating chickpeas. Look at the blood on the window. On the day this calamity happened there was no hospital to receive the patient s. Stayed with me for 12 hours and called the hospital and they were told that they were unable to receive anyone but it was. My eyes and head were all affected by the explosion was the time i feel better. Watching out International Company for softening dont forget weve also got plenty of stories too on our website you can find nothing at all to. Play. When almost seemed wrong why dont we all just dont all. Get to shape our day to educate and in detroit because betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. She still look for common ground. Calisthenics but its put to rest and not just get up but just tell a speech that. He. Or she marched or im going to. Pull. Could have. Been able to support it. Did. He push too much to thomas or some. Of it is what i did is. Massive. Massive. Im still working on this one its called nasa pull. That. Most people in america we fight a war we consider the flight rules need s. Are. Right that suppose we. Meet this will be so low yes or 2 from the east after she was caught in a war between. Feel.
