arabia's king so mom is admitted to hospital 84 year old one arc is having medical checkups. and china is accused of gross human rights abuses over the mistreatment of its move the minority. the race is all defined vaccine for covert 19 and the pressure is mounting for governments to be able to provide those treatments to deal securing 90000000 doses of 2 potential vaccines thanks to the biotech vaccine had one from the french company that's also signed a deal for a 1000000 doses of an antibody treatment from astra zeneca let's get more now from paul brennan who is an oxford paul 1st off to sell us more about these vexing deals that the u.k. is signed the government is obviously believing they're very promising.

suddenly promising to put all your eggs in one basket says it's probably unwise at this point in time and with that in mind that's why the government has decided to invest and sort of preorder effectively from 2 of the big vaccine producers who are chasing the coronavirus they've ordered $30000000.00 doses from a german us partnership that's biotech and finds are and that is a vaccine which has already been trialed the fact is though that it's has produced a strong immune response in the early volunteers and that's why it's looking quite optimistic another one is a french consortium and they haven't actually started the trials at all they won't start trying until the autumn but that is a more traditional type of vaccine where they use deactivated bits of the corona virus so it's a far more conventional way of doing it it would also be manufactured up in scotland so within the home nations and for that reason the government has decided

that it's prudent to preorder 60000000 doses of that if it comes to fruition so it's the government kind of hedging its bets making sure that it's not sort of exposed if one fails and another one succeeds and the reason that you're in oxford today paul we're expecting some results from that same trials involving the university that tell us about that. yes well i mean one of the main trials that are taking place all around the world those more than 100 different trials taking place around the world but here the oxford vaccines group and the general institute have. basically publishing the results of their phase one tests now these are tests on volunteers around $500.00 volunteers that took place in april the tests of already the results have already been so promising that the group has progressed already to phase 3 so there are large scale tests but they haven't yet published the results of phase one and that's what we're expecting

today the way that these things proceed is it's published in the official journal of medicine the lancets we're waiting for that publication to happen sometime this morning but early indications are very promising the reason why is because it appears that the vaccine potential vaccine that's being produced researched here produces 2 impacts if it produces both antibody response and t. cell response in the volunteers it seems so what we're waiting for is the details of that just exactly what kind of response we hope to hear from the lancet when it's published but very promising and that's why we're here in oxford today thanks for that paul brennan live for us in oxford. deadlock and division is gripping the european union has its leaders struggle to compromise on a major coronavirus economic rescue deal leaders will meet for a 4th time after sunday's talks stretched into the night without an agreement has more it's how to share $857000000000.00 the questions confounded

e.u. leaders for days and deepened divisions within the block in one camp nations known as the frugal for austria denmark sweden and the netherlands the wealthy northern states pay the most per capita into the e.u. shared reserves they want strict controls on how the recovery fund is shared prefer ing to loan countries money the positions at odds with spain and italy both economies were hit hard by the pandemic they want generous grants from the bloc that don't need to be repaid the german chancellor angela merkel and french president emmanuel mccrone have been trying to broker a compromise by offering e.u. countries a combination of loans and grants but the latest can't agree on how to do this. these compromises and i say this very clearly will not be made at the cost of european goals not out of principle but will be made because we are facing an

unprecedented health economic and social crisis and because our countries need it european unity needs it a fierce argument also erupted between the dutch prime minister mark reiter and his hung garion counterpart viktor orban over whether money should be withheld from countries that fail to live up to the e.u.'s core values in recent years victor or bans governments been accused of attacks on the media minorities and the rule of law charges which he denies i don't know what is the person lol reason for the dutch prime minister to hate me or hungary but he's attacking saul harshly and making very clear that because. hungary in his opinion does not respect the rule of law must be punished financially that's his position which is not acceptable you have faces its deepest recession since the 2nd world war the road to recovery hangs on solidarity need al-jazeera. david harrison horn is the

chief brussels correspondent of political magazine he says relations between the member states are as fragile as the economic outlook. the e.u. budget 7 year financial plan in this case amounting to approximately one trillion euro more than that obviously in dollars is always the most controversial negotiation that leaders leaders go through $27.00 countries in this case all have to agree on what programs they're going to lay out how they're going to set their priorities over the course of the next 7 years add into that this historic situation with a coronavirus pandemic and the worst economic shock since the great depression now they're looking at this recovery effort a really new concept for the e.u. which is to borrow giant sums of money on the financial markets together and then give grants to the countries that need help this means that the e.u. would borrow together but then give to countries where recovery is most needed

italy of course hard hit spain they are feeling very left alone in certain respects and what they want to remind the netherlands and austria. denmark and sweden is that those countries manufacture things they sell things it's great that they had to terrific rainy day fund saved up they were in a much stronger financial position to have that umbrella open and be ready for the storm when it hit but in fact they'll be standing out there alone under their umbrella unless they make sure that italy spain france all these countries are also able to recover in the same way so what you hear is a lot of talk about divergence germany has recognized this how quickly did germany was able to unleash more than a trillion euro in support of its own economy other countries have not been able to do that they're already saddled with debt so they need this help and they're trying to explain that all together that you can make sure they recover in a much more cohesive way than if they struggle on their own. yeah the states is still struggling to contain the world's biggest crowd of are some prick there's

been nearly 3800000 cases nationwide and more than 140000 deaths the president on trump has downplayed the epidemic falsely claiming an interview that the u.s. has one of the lowest mortality rates in the world and fisher reports from northern virginia. what the white house described as embers has become a blaze the us now is seeing around $70000.00 new cases of cold meat at the the president's own health expense expressing concern masking has become a political issue now here we are not only with 70000 new cases almost every day but from my perspective also quite concerning the number of hospitalizations which is very close to being as high in the country as it was in back in april so yeah we've got a really dollar down here the number of deaths is rising to arizona and florida breaking new records the residents here are terrified and i'm terrified for the 1st time in my career because there is

a lack of leadership johns hopkins university has been tracking the virus since day one it says the u.s. has the 7th highest mortality rate in the world a figure disputed by the president in an interview with an american t.v. network i heard we have one of the lowest maybe the lowest mortality rate anywhere in the world you have the numbers from us because i heard we had the best word salad there are republican governor has warned his state could be the new florida keys numbers are heading in the wrong direction but he's still not ready to issue a statewide order telling people to wear masks were really in the message is that you were the mask for other people you were the mask to to protect your grandmother and you were of the mass too and so it's not just the orders the orders are obviously important but getting people to buying and to understand and there's a warning there may have to be a new low tones across the country meanwhile it's been reported that the white house is trying to block billions of dollars for increased testing and contact tracing democrats want $75000000000.00 and many republicans are now saying that

they would support the move if that would help bring the coronavirus crisis in the united states under control alan fischer al-jazeera northern virginia. sodhi arabia state media is reporting king solomon has been admitted to hospital for medical checkups the 84 year old monarch was taken to king fire's all specialist hospital in the capital riyadh only on monday is reportedly receiving treatment for information on the gall bladder. iraq's prime minister has postponed a visit to saudi arabia and light of the king's illness will suffer alchemy was expected to travel to riyadh on monday the 2 sides of planned to discuss a range of issues including trade and border crossings a prominent saudi journalist has died after contracting covert 192 months after being released from prison that's according to local media reports saleh was sentenced to 5 years in jail and 2018 for insulting the world court after he

current quarantine restrictions it would affect every put hong kong's food supply driscoll and they're not prepared to do that so i don't think that's going to change meanwhile the media on the mainland says that they believe the recent protests as well as an unofficial poll that happened here in hong kong last weekend in which more than 610000 people took part is another reason why the virus is spreading now on sunday night the chief executive carol lam said the situation was in her words critical and she also said she wasn't sure when this new outbreak would be brought under control what is really worrying the government i think is that 40 percent of the new infections have no known source. south africa's death toll from the coronavirus is past 5000 with more than 360000 fictions it has around half of the continent's confirmed cases the ministry of
