Democratic candidate for President Joe Biden selects california senator come all of harris as his Vice President ial running mate. People gather at the port where a devastating chemical blast occurred a week ago that comes a day after the countrys government quits amid huge pressure from protesters. From moscow thanks for joining us throw it all to International Daniel hawkins here with you welcome to the program. Russia says its leading the global race against the coronavirus president putin says the countrys the 1st to register a vaccine which is now ready for mass testing. And thats we can use use in the new as far as i know this morning the 1st vaccine from 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 so yeah. Ok lets take a closer look now the vaccine was developed at moscows again institute initial Clinical Trials and said been successful mass production is expected to begin as early as september now medical workers teachers and those considered to be in other high risk groups will be the 1st to receive it releases of the general public is set as early as the new year now the developers 2000 people will be vaccinated shortly as Research Continues meanwhile more than 1000000000 doses of the russian vaccine have already been requested by more than 20 Different Countries now there are nevertheless of course those who are skeptical about this vaccine including Health Experts in the United States although welcoming the news members of russias science and Research Community weve spoken to say theres still a lot to be done now killed to be 3 of the head of the Russian Sovereign Wealth Fund thats investing in the countrys research talked spoke to r. T. About the new vaccine. What the russians are people of the war a very tired towards the wire was a very tired of the restrictions a very tired of the refused. It was. One of the countries. In which it was very very active. All sorts of. People now. Theres a vaccination. Well im confident enough that the injected legacy myself my wife mike evans your 4 year old parents and i think its very important that we understand the Science Behind civics so russia great historic knowledge of books you can get my Interest Group has developed very successful in all of it seeing and mercy and then basically current virus just proved to be very similar the merce so weve had great science and will likely that there is a good has been done really applied very close late it was a fight theyre not hiring you tend to chill for russian because. Everything will be fobbed blish almost ive seen that day and those of 100 percent always a line cheers elop for a strong immune response or significant side effects of 100 percent protection of animals forests you biased the level of immunity. It will produce a stronger immune response Going Forward we believe because only ones who counsels through different of the not by respect thirst as it was used the lid was a big scene and that means that our books in response will last longer hopefully it will be more than a year all scientists believe that years but of course physicists fact time will be needed to really understand the duration of the vaccination. And ever since people were starting to receive permission about a week she became more and more interest but frank a lot of western Media Outlets blocked access to our information so i think now we have great construed this information bear is it exists and the more people understand what we can do they go because of our fight to learn about the election in more countries become interested even today which at the age of bounced and by israel serbia elude us or brazil or our interest who scores the russian machine and work with us on. Dr peter smith professor of tropical epidemiology at the London School of hygiene and tropical medicine told us think of a crisis has meant vaccine trials have been accelerated much more the norm a significant in the sense that there are about 150 different maxines that are being developed none of them to my knowledge as yet in license so in that sense it sets in Court Announced that it says is that says license vaccine unfortunately what we dont know at the moment is what the data were that actually was the basis for the license sure and it sounds as though relatively small numbers of people have so far received this back seems in which case its very typical i would say almost impossible to assess whether the faxing is actually efficacious or we dont have sound reservations about knowing the safety of the vaccine but generally new vaccines are not the least until they been in trials a year or 2 years possibly even 5 years because of the exceptional situation with the suspect a co that 19 pandemic. Vaccine trials are being accelerated. U. S. Democratic Party Candidate for President Joe Biden has picked his Vice President ial running mate because a former senator was bidens rival for a president ial candidate before dropping out and backing him is caleb open with the details. After much anticipation joe biden has finally announced his Vice President ial running mate it will be the california senator kaamelott harris who has a long record in california politics as a prosecutor and an attorney general in the state before rising to the rank of u. S. Senator now whats quite interesting is that she was one of joe bidens opponents for the democratic nomination and on the debate stage among other Democratic Candidates she had some rather harsh words for joe biden she called him out on his record supporting School Segregation and she invoked her own Life Experience to criticize him for it this is what kamel harris said to joe biden you know there was a little girl in california who was part of the fekkai class to integrate her Public Schools and she was bused to School Every Day and that little girl was away now kamel harris is known for playing up the idea that there is some kind of russian conspiracy against her she claims that russian bots were targeting her on the internet that russia was out to get hurt cetera probably the most controversial thing about Camila Harris is her record as a prosecutor in california comma harris locked up the parents of the children things who were truant from school she also jailed thousands of people for the crime of smoking marijuana and then in a recent interview joked about the fact that she smoked marijuana in her south now Tulsi Gabbert the democratic candidate and u. S. Congresswoman from hawaii called out common areas of the debate and significantly hurt her in the polls by highlighting her record as a criminal prosecutor now donald trump has already reacted to the fact that kamel harris was selected as joe bidens running mate heres what he said to me why number one draft pick and well see how she works out she did very very poorly in the. Primaries as you know he was expected to do well. And she. He was. Right around 2 percent. And spent a lot of money he had a lot of things happening and so i was a little surprised that he picked so thats donald trump saying that hes pretty surprised in thinking that its not a very strategic choice now whats also interesting to point out is the comma harris has quite a record when it comes to issues like Police Brutality and mass incarceration and shes very much not the favorite candidate of the black lives Matter Movement her record as a prosecutor is all over twitter right now being highly scrutinized but regardless she will be the Vice President ial nominee of the democratic party. To russian john to put out a fund denise tell again cohen now safely back in moscow off to being released from detention in minsk and rest triggered by the weekends disputed president ial election but oversaw spilled into a 3rd night police have cordoned off public squares in the capital minsk with several people reportedly detained amid continuing clashes with Law Enforcement witnesses have also reported explosions. A correspondent on call said if with the latest now on the 3rd consecutive night of demonstrations. Protests continue for a 3rd day in belarus and also we have a 3rd day all fuss around days in various embassies all fly like here in moscow for example people who are so directly with the opposition and delivers start here for a 3rd day same thing is happening in St Petersburg same thing is happening in in kiev meanwhile some of their russian journalists were detained by the Russian Police and later released say that they were beaten up by the authorities and the later published video which appears to be proving their claims lets take a look. Right here you feel. Bad you know what are you afraid. Youre going to leave us. Some journalists have reported earlier and shes day that men in black all wearing the same uniform approached them broke their equipment and actually confiscated their memory cards with all this footage minsk meanwhile remains under logs and im close all kind about the center of the city and Police Continue to detain protesters bill russian president i think the know the shango says that the response from the Law Enforcement. Has been proportionate but on the budget the clothes that the room 25. 00 Police Officers have been injured legs broken they would deliberately his so they responded why are you crying the response will be adequate we will not allow you to tell the country opposed to some footage shot from belarus actually it did show that they protesters were using molotov cocktails against the police so those claims were substantiated i mean while the opposition a candidate for the president told bill roos has reportedly left the country in order. He joined her family in lithuania and now some social media reports said that shit fled the country some others said that she was forced to buy the bill or russian authorities to leave however she she refuted all of those allegations in this post. 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 tate the European Union is calling on bill russian authorities to begin a dialogue with the opposition in order to prevent any further violence the bill russian authorities are saying that they have irrefutable evidence that can and dale that the fact that all of the underlying reasons for the pro disability actually came from abroad and theyre ready to supply that information to any other country that requests it editor and publisher of brand iris notes there is little protest this can do in the face of a growing police crackdown. Shanker has been backed into a corner his own people have risen up against him after 26 years in office and he can accept that he is whole regime is built on the myth hes the father of the country that hes extremely popular and thats simply not the case the police have been extremely brutal up to now and whats remarkable if you compare this to ukraine or some of the other kind of revolutions that weve had across the region the. Protests have become very violent very quickly at the end of the day theres very little that protesters can do i mean theyre building barricades last night theyre shutting down the city every day after 7 pm however that can only go on for so long. In beirut people have gathered for a protest there on the outskirts of the port after a week a week after the massive chemical blast there reduced parts of the bodies capital to ruins a number of those killed is now over 200 with hundreds of thousands more left homeless huge demonstrations going through authorities have been held daily our correspondent paula 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 theyre throwing rocks and bits of paper and 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 that 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 preside at the same time they when cornered into came to investigation into what happened at the very last they say its not enough for an internal they have an easy 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 ive sung 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 the situation is becoming increasingly falta 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 3 a. T. O. Is the rocks and stones at the protesters are throwing and theres the left over 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 past. All the explosion has also shaken the lives of survivors in other ways one couple were filming what was meant to be the happiest day of their lives they survived the blast with describe what they and their family went through. I was screaming because i was afraid that i might find some of my family missing or injured or 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 know if any of us had been hurt. Or that one of them 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. During the explosion and i was sitting here on this 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 assisters. For 12 hours and called the hospital and they replied that they were unable to receive anyone. My eyes and head were all affected by the explosion with time i feel better. I was covert 19 cases rise in multiple countries fears of a 2nd wave new restrictions stay with us from war the story just a few moments time. Here we talk about all those crazy problems out there and then during the summer we deal with solutions thats right so lucians and today were going to be talking with the nose of coin floor dot. U.

The program with covert spiking in a number of European Countries are you hopeful thirtys according to certain restrictions to be introduced according to the latest Risk Assessment it needs to happen sooner rather than later to stop the spread shot it didnt ski has more. European Health Authorities of urged countries to reconsider imposing certain restrictions as this in the uptick in the coded 19 transmission rates this is the European Center of the disease prevention and control and it is aging Member States to take action now in countries where there is evidence that is suggestive of increasing transmission the risk of further escalation is high for those countries the risk is very high if they do not implement or reinforce multiple measures including physical distancing and Contact Tracing now the report talks about reinstating control measures while it doesnt specifically absa case new york down see here in europe it does state that when those knock downs happened there was a dramatic decrease in the transmission rate over could be 19 this comes as the European Commission is also urging Member States to take action together to avoid a 2nd wave of uncooled action this is a particularly the closure of the border is the situation is now volatile with some Member States experiencing falling numbers and some unfortunately experiencing a rising number of cases we noted that in view
