Russias claiming to be leading the global race against the coronavirus president putin says the country is the 1st to register a vaccine which is now ready for mass testing. And thats we can use used to say when you as far as i know this morning the 1st vaccine for corona virus in the world was registered on the countrys Health Minister to further inform us about that but i already know that its working effectively and forming a tough immunity. But ive seen was developed at a Moscow Institute its 1st Clinical Trials were said to have been successful and mass production is expected to begin in september medical workers teachers and those considered to be other high risk groups will be the 1st to receive it its planned release to the general public is set for the new year the Developers Say 2000 more people will be vaccinated shortly as Research Continues meanwhile more than 1000000000 doses of the russian vaccine have been requested by more than 20 countries nevertheless there are many who remain skeptical about this vaccine including Health Experts in the us although welcoming the newest members of russias science and Research Community weve spoken to say theres still much to be done dimitri of the head of the russians over in wealth fund thats investing in the countrys Research Talk to r. T. About the new vaccine. Both on the russians people as a wall the very body or tools the virus a very tired of the restrictions a very tired towards the refuse to come on. It was one of the countries. In which we believe this very state very active. That if. People now have better hope to raise your normal life as a vaccination. Well im confident enough to inject good legacy of myself my wife my of and your 4 year old parents and i think its very important that we understand the Science Behind the vaccines so russia great historic knowledge of books you can get money Interest Groups has developed very successful all of it seen and mercy and then basically current virus just proved to be very similar the merce though weve had great science and will like that there is a good has been done really applied very close late it was a fight or not hyrst it depends. Everything will be almost ive seen to date i knows of 100 percent always a line cheers elop very strong immune response or significant side effects of 100 percent protection of animals for as you are just a level of immunity. It will produce stronger immune response Going Forward but we believe we as only ones who counsels do it for end of the night virus vector is a used miller was a vaccine and that means that our vixen response will last longer hopefully it will be more than a year while scientists believe the years but the horse shows us a fact a time will be needed to really understand the duration of the vaccination. And ever since people are starting to receive permission about how were seeing it more and more interest but frank a lot of western Media Outlets a lot access to our information so i think now we have break ins through this information bear is it exists and the more people understand what we can do they go because of all sites lauren involves a vaccine and more countries become interested even today with the age of onset and by israel serbia elude us oh brazil who are interested who or the russian but she dont work with us on. Dr peter smith professor of tropical epidemiology at the London School of hygiene and tropical medicine believes the cover crisis has meant that packed in trials have been accelerated much more than normal. For a significant in the sense that there are about 150 different back scenes that are being developed none of them to my knowledge has yet been licensed so in that sense it sets in Court Announced that its just the 1st license vaccine unfortunately what we dont know at the moment is what the data were that actually was the basis for the license sure but it sounds as though relatively small numbers of people who have so far received a spike scenes in which case its very typical i would say almost impossible to assess whether the bank scene is actually efficacious or what would have sound reservations about knowing that the safety of the vaccine generally new vaccines are not the least until theyve been in trials for a year or 2 years possibly even 5 years because of the exceptional situation with the state of co that 19 and didnt meet. Vaccine trials are being accelerated. Under us triggered by the weekends disputed president ial election and belarus has spilled into a 3rd night police have cordoned off public squares in the capital minsk and several people have reportedly been detained amid continuing clashes with Law Enforcement. Oh. Now joined live by our correspondent whos standing outside of the Belorussian Embassy in moscow tell us whats happening where you are. Course and well over the last 3 days we have been seeing the sun a dire team around me here in front of the bella Russian Embassy in the center off moscow and its spina steadily increasing over the last 3 days and let me just show you whats going on here the bill Russian Embassy was just behind me and to the right you can see some of the protesters who are voicing their support for the opposition in belarus well in terms of the number all people present here at the moment its less than they were a couple of hours ago there were about least 350300 right now looks to be a little bit less of course its not only the protests earth its the members all thier media as well so these kind of solidarity rallies are taking place here in moscow in St Petersburg as well as in the key is in the ukrainian capital in the 1st few days we also saw a similarity in the rallies in israel as well now at the beginning of the protests 3 days ago some wolf a few russian journalists had been detained along with the local journalists as well since then many of them have been released and some of them have actually already crossed the russia bill reuss border and. Some of those representatives of the Russian Media are saying that the bill or Russian Police use force against them beat them and they actually published in the video to support their claim lets take a look at that. There are still going to some rather going to look. Out theres only a certain loser that. Doesnt leave us. So protests in the bella ruse itself continued for a 3rd day in a roll and the police are using all kinds of crowd control equipment against the protesters and that includes tear gas or rubber bullets and stun grenades and its all happening as we speak now minsk a city center is apparently cordoned off subway stations in a sense or at least 77 of them are close soul other people cannot reach the center of the bell or russian capital in the police are doing everything in order to disperse the crowds the biller Russian HealthMinistry Says that hundreds of protesters have been injured and theyre now being treated at the hospital old soul over the last 3 days we saw one death of a protester and said the belorussian Investigative Committee are now have now launched an inquiry into this case and outride that sermon all of the circumstances surrounding the death of this allegedly protests are now the biller russian president Alexander Lukashenko has made a statement saying vats Law Enforcement in his country their response to protests in belarus have been proportionate to say listen. But on the budget the Oklahoma City beat the room 25. 00 Police Officers have been injured legs and. Broken they would deliberately hit so they responded why are you crying now the response will be adequate so we will not allow you to tear the country apart which is. What we need. Now is some footage from bella ruse show that protests heard protesters and indeed threw molotov cocktails in their clashes with the police so they do have some truth to their claims there meanwhile president ial candidate from the opposition svetlana. Has left the country to join her family in lithuania noms now some of the social media out there suggested that she fled the country some other comments are said that she was forced out of the country by the belorussian authorities but she herself issued a statement refuting all of those allegations that have a listen. I too can 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 tate. European union is calling on the belorussian authorities to begin a dialogue with the opposition in order to prevent any further violence how will the state and also says that its European Union is ready to take action against those responsible for clients for illegal arrests and of course those who are responsible for the rigging they election bill are russian authorities on the other hand they have already responded to that saying that they have irrefutable evidence that can unveil all of the underlying reasons soft for whats been happening in belarus over the last 3 days and the authorities in delarue so also said that theyre ready to share all of that information with other countries. Bringing us the latest on the unrest and valorous thank you. Joining us on the line right now is jaroslav president of a Scientific Research center in minsk very welcome to the program now weve already had reports of bullets being used stun grenades being used in the russian capital along with protesters again making those barricades do you think were going to see further violence tonight. No the way it was civil disobedience is going on and things that ignited that completely deep sense that this so to put a whole week of. Outrage with so many people who took part in the legal campaigning and all the look at frank opponents and they did not expect such an outrageous outrageous lie to happen and there right now is. A dissenter by the local lady who will protect dignity and definitely there is only one thing all that gender must go by and there was nothing else its not about Economic Policy its not about your political thing and i think that you dont need. To stop right now i think that this is the end only the beginning of the end of the regime because nobody expected looking back in fact that by monthly disproportionately to. Show his political rhetoric and look at the guys manage to hold on to power for 26 years now though do you think that this will actually be able to quell this unrest or is this going to be the point where things turn around. I think that hes been under control of will for most of the force structure that we have a carriage and services we have hundreds of thousands of people in uniform and dog sure that most of the commanders are definitely. In charge and they do support overlook. June this political Election Campaign 100000 people. Shit they sold that location crazy like cant make a cain he doesnt have any plan and the strategy he. Made things worse with the show with you people in the end with the United States with Civil Society with women who are quite simple they will look at chandra so right now i. See every. Major social group sex was before he was alongside so thats probably he made so many mistakes during this campaign that his political power youre likely to be your own deeply conservative no matter how hard you would i think that youve heard bloodshed happens in minsk and other below since it is right now i think that he is and the political leaders will definitely come close. Look at anger have when foreign powers are trying to stir the pot that they were trying to interfere in the last election itself if you have any grounds for such claims. Of the like you definitely mentor russia. 33 person or that youre looking to belittle to. Make a mask or print 200 more where around the country nobody told them nobody saw the exact criminal case here and i think moscow kiev did not have a chance to have a look deep into that i think the trend is standard saying no matter what happens inside the bellows by the rules its always either the west or russia or or ukraine or the Czech Republic or United States on writing up with the likes of but this time the plea. People ordinary people who are sick and tired of such outrageous lies and people who would never were not interested in politics if you look at not about to go to the countryside you can probably find it somebody who would protect. His vote for wilkerson so definitely the civil disobedience would be growing and you would move this over to you do not hold iraq to something meaningful as a kind of a compromise with the Civil Society at the opponent i think that dollars would be even for the tonopah. Gods love ramen truck president of a Scientific Research center in minsk thank you for finding time to join us on the program this evening. And beirut people are gathering for a protest around the outskirts of the port a week after the massive chemical blasts which reduced much of the city to ruins the number of those killed now tops more than 200 with hundreds of thousands left homeless huge demonstrations against the authorities have been held daily our correspondent paula flair reports from the city. But this is the 4th consecutive night that weve witnessed protests here in front of the Parliament Building the situation remains as tense as it has been for the last few days as you can see behind me the protesters have started a fire and they throwing rocks and bits of pavement at the Police Officers and the army on the other side now the army has been responding with tear gas which claimed the crowd this side surges back what people here are telling me is that theyre not satisfied with just the way as a nation of the lebanese Prime Minister they want to hold hanumant to resign at the same time make one important independent investigation into what happened at the very last they say its not enough for an internal they have a nice investigation but the government here says if thats what they want to show what are issue of sovereignty now the mood is quite volatile it doesnt seem that with the passing of days the protesters here are in any way becoming satisfied if you just look around you can see that they still a lot of anger they still relatively large numbers showing out on the streets essentially the situation in beirut continues to remain extremely tense and this comes as the numbers of missing suddenly turns into. Some meat and i sang 20 people dead were not hearing sounds of tear gas so the crowd is starting to move backwards the fear is at any moment the situation here and i can i can actually smell to get the situation is becoming increasingly fault with danger. Right behind me is the army has a lot of tear gas in the air theyve managed to push the protesters further away from the Parliament Building and down the streets. Weve taken a position just behind the army the straight hero is the rocks and stones at the protesters are throwing and theres the left overs smell of tear gas in the air as you can see the riot police and the army are in full gear theyre taking this seriously they have been accused of Excessive Force and theyve admitted that they have used live ammunition and tear gas in the process the explosion in beirut took a devastating toll on families there one couple were about to show you or filling what was meant to be the happiest day of their lives thankfully they survived along with their family describe what they went through. I was screaming because i was afraid that i might find some of my family missing. Something bad happened to them. The most terrible moment was when we heard the loud explosion. And when we heard scream and we were looking at each other to now if any of us had been heard. That one of them at the wedding took place in a miserable state of mind because we knew that there were wounded in dead and there was chaos and missing people you agree even the bride and everyone else were confused thank god they got married but their state of mind was bad. During 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 a sister state looking for 12 hours and called the hospital and they replied that they were unable to receive anyone but. My eyes and head were all affected by the explosion with time i feel better.
