after months of deaths infections and lock downs finally a hopeful sign early trials for a coronavirus vaccine are showing a positive immune response. live from doha everyone i'm kemal santamaria with the world news from al-jazeera. we're not there yet but things are moving in the right direction clinging to hope

european leaders meet for a 4th day try to overcome their differences over a massive pandemic recovery budget also the u.k. suspends an extradition agreement with hong kong after beijing imposed its tough new security law says. back on the streets of mali demanding the president steps down protesters return after regional mediation fail. so the fight against covert 19 has taken a small but potentially significant step this monday but once that medical journals published results from scientists at oxford university who have been conducting early human testing for a coronavirus vaccine and the results are encouraging they found the vaccine did not cause any serious side effects and produced a strong immune response with more from oxford here is paul brennan. it is

early on about the 1st $56.00 days all of the phase one trial that took place end of april beginning of may involving $1077.00 participants that said the results of that early testing and early study was that it is safe this vaccine this potential vaccine that they produced it induces an immune reaction which is good it in 3 uses 2 types of immune reaction that is antibodies and t. cells the reaction is strong and in a subgroup study of 10 participants which is yes that the response is maybe even stronger after a 2nd dose now the ideal vaccine needs to be effective after just wanted to do says it needs to be good for. the elderly people and target participants such as people with existing health conditions it also needs to be effective for a period of longer than 6 months and at this stage it's too early to say whether or not this vaccine actually meets those kind of criteria what hasn't happened here is

the pitot participants have not been exposed to corona virus so what we have in brazil and in south africa is those vaccinated people will be exposed to corona virus as part of the wider population the high prevalence of to run a virus in those 2 countries and then the study will really look at exactly how their bodies react having been given the vaccine once they are exposed to corona virus it's detailed it's interesting it's very very early but it's very very hopeful. what we've heard from the world health organization which says the coronavirus pandemic vaccine should be available for everyone political commitment of course. that's the only way you can get you know fair distribution but. one of the waterloo part of this we see is. some countries moving the other direction of course more and more countries are joining the. benefits the advantages of making this

global public good are some thoughts now from what there are a professor of epidemiology and medicine at columbia university who told us this is very exciting and encouraging news we now have in other vaccine that's poised to move into what we call please 3 studies which are really the definitive studies as well tell us if the vaccine works and if it is safe in the large numbers of participants and so this a very important milestone for this vaccine in particular i think we have to be very cautious because down this one of this phase one to study was done know a little a little bit more than a 1000 participants sometimes you really need to study our if axion a much larger a population or did you see really are side effects so i think it's important for us to move ahead to the larger studies that were recruited maybe 30000 individuals

and and hope that someday our side effect does not manifest itself once you are using it in a larger population so i think it's a very critical to do the larger studies not only in terms of the safety but also of course to demonstrate where they're at the sex scene can work to prevent infection. there's also concern as well in terms of what will happen when individuals who have been vaccinated actually are exposed to infection in that's another dimension where we have to watch very carefully the in your response in the body then once the individual has been vaccinated it is exposed to true infection. on to other news and $27.00 european union leaders are back in a huddle in brussels to hammer out a coronavirus economic recovery plan this is a huge summit is now into a 4th day it was only supposed to be to this is for negotiations over the $857000000000.00 package which is hit repeated deadlocks members can't seem to

agree on how those funds should be distributed to the countries that need them the most we are having a son now last night after long negotiations we worked out a framework for a possible agreement this is a step forward and gives hope that an agreement may be reached today or at least an agreement is possible i'm very glad that we the french president and i made the push in me for a really substantial program in this exceptional situation it was clear that it go she asians are incredibly tough we will continue today but exceptional situations also require exceptional efforts more than 1000 about an hour in paris and sasha what is the position of the french president on the well in the camp of angela merkel. yes and the french president emanuel mark karr has for several weeks been saying that this is not the to nitty for the european union to really show solidarity unity at this unprecedented time during this health crisis what

emanuel micro and the german childs have been pushing for is for the e.u. all 27 member states to get on board if you like with this recovery plan which would help some of the e.u. members though some of the states have been really severely weakened by the current virus pandemic help their economies help other economies recover and what the french president says is if the european union fails to do this right now then its very future will be in jeopardy and what he means by that is that a failure of the european union to help the people of the european union means that many of voters might end up turning their back on the e.u. we might see a rise an anti e.u. sentiment people wondering what the e.u. is actually for especially when they've lived through such a crisis and a manner michael says that could lead to the disintegration of the e.u. itself so that's really his view it is a long term one of course so there is the immediate sense of urgency as

coronaviruses continue so what amount of micros calling for is for the european union to show ambition. to not meet a spirit of compromise and ambition is to take the risk of returning to harder 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 we've worked together a lot over the past days and nights. well the leaders have been meeting 3 nights they are in their 4th day of course this is all taking a lot longer than they had hoped when they 1st met on friday but it is very difficult because those divisions and differences are still there on one side france and germany some of the countries saying that we need to have unity and solidarity we need to sign off on this fund on the other side you have countries

including austria sweden denmark who are saying we need it to be careful we need to work out exactly how we're going to distribute this money and how much money we want to distribute and what they're really concerned about is this idea of grants and loans how this money is distributed they're also concerned that money will be given to a member state without conditions they want to see conditions imposed for example a member state receives money and then has to promise to make economical fiscal reforms within their countries lots of differences there we are hearing indications though some reports coming out of brussels that e.u. leaders could be coming a bit closer to a form of deal but to be honest we have heard that from e.u. leaders for the past few nights will have to wait and see what happens thank you natasha but in paris the british government is suspending its extradition treaty with hong kong and is blocking arms sales in response to beijing's new national

security law foreign secretary dominic roberts described the measures as reasonable and proportionate last month china imposed its sweeping legislation which outlaws what it considers secession subversion terrorism and collusion of foreign terrorists barca following developments from outside the british parliament in london why has the u.k. government decided me that this is a necessary move now. well britain's essential doing is hitting back at what it sees is beijing's unilateral wholesale destruction of the one nation 2 systems arrangement so when it comes to hong kong through its new national security law it is hit back in 3 ways firstly to reiterate 3000000 hong kong citizens have the right to come and live and work here in the u.k. don't rob said new immigration arrangements saw being created at the moment also

he has put an end to a 30 year extradition arrangement between the u.k. and hong kong over fears that people extradited to hong kong could end up being sent to mainland china where there are different rules and regulations a different legal system where people could find themselves facing a lengthy prison sentences for charges that they they wouldn't experience for instance in hong kong if your charge with the political subversion in mainland china you could end up with a life time prison sentence and also the plan is to end the sale of weapons and other equipment that could be used for violent crackdowns against populations to hong kong that kind of weapons ban has been in place between the u.k. mainland china since the late 1980 s. now extending to the former british colony but when it comes to ending the

exhibition arrangement here is what the foreign secretary had to say. i'm particularly concerned about articles 55 to 59 the blue which give mainland china chinese authorities the ability to assume jurisdiction over certain cases and to try those cases in mainland chinese courts. also tell the house that we would not consider reactivating those arrangements unless and until there are clear and robust safeguards which are able to prevent extradition from u.k. being misused under the new national security legislation. but in recent weeks china and the u.k. of being on a collision course for a number of different things tony robbins pointed the finger at beijing accusing it of gross human rights violations when it comes to china's treatment of the muslim we minority in the province of also last week under immense pressure from the united states a decision to cut the chinese tech giant wall our way out of creating for him some

5 g. network going forward beijing is accusing the u.k. of meddling its internal affairs and dancing to washington's chub they have barca with that update from london thank you we hope so heard from address feel that little bit earlier and senior fellow at the university of nottingham asia research institute here he explains why the u.k. and his opinion had no option but to suspend the treaty. as a signatory of the 184 trying to bridge joint declaration the british government really had no choice. the chinese communist party was in breach of scout internationally binding treaty that large with the united nations they are riding roughshod over the basic law which is hong kong's constitution and they have effectively terminated one country 2 systems and such

if the british government had done nothing i think that would have. undermined its credibility worldwide they greenman was on would preserve its democratic way of life for the next 50 s. or twenty's. into the agreement the changes party unilaterally withdraw from that our treaty and as such not just the u.k. but also the united states and hopefully the european union eventually. they will all have to kind of live with this new reality that we have you know a party which feels not bound by international law at all. well it did the headlines in a moment and then president trump meets with republican leaders to finalize a trillion dollar bailout package as the country struggles during the pandemic. a

prominent journalist in zimbabwe reporting on corruption and protests is the rest of the world. hello a little clump of thunderstorms crossed from a mile into the empty coltrane across the south for society in the last day or 2 giving significant rain to places that don't normally get it interesting however the main story as always in this part the world is the heat and you see from this dark red streak where the hottest weather is in fact we saw 52 degrees in bouncer yesterday so fifty's more uncommon in iraq and that heat bring some dust with it down to east and saudi but the temperature 14 doha's indicative of it not being the same sort of a gots more moisture coming off the gulf and around this area bahrain and qatar in particular moment it's humid this time of year quite hot but not extremely so this

is dry heat up in baghdad 50 degrees it has to be dry to be that hot otherwise nothing is going on it's just the heat and occasional dust let's move away further west this is a time of year when you pick up some pretty big showers in west africa in fact anywhere really from eritrea towards the atlantic coast and we've seen some big showers recently even us far north as well as martina i think the next day or so they like to be developing that far north but concentrating on places like sun ago and the gambia not alone but certainly that. frank assessments tourism but the income stream. dead in the water what's been the result seen perching go up quite significantly informed opinions there has been a very aggressive political rhetoric that has become very normal and israeli society in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines it's time for new policy

and say on the street that he cannot all be seen to grady what he read to me this is the leading to over all continues inside story on al-jazeera. the top stories this hour on al-jazeera encouraging results from human tests of a coronavirus vaccine being developed by scientists at oxford university the 1st phase of the trials found the vaccine did not cause any serious side effects and produced a strong immune response e.u. leaders are in brussels for a 4th day of negotiations for

a coronavirus recovery plan the blocks 2 trillion dollars budget includes $857000000000.00 to help countries deal with the economic fallout. and the british government is suspending its extradition treaty with hong kong and is blocking arms sales the measures are in response to beijing's new national security law that imposed on hong kong last month. u.s. president donald trump has insisted that quote good things are underway after meeting with republican party leaders this was to discuss a trillion dollar economic bailout of course the united states still struggling to contain what is the world's biggest corona virus outbreak maybe 3800000 cases nationwide and more than 140000 deaths so kimberly how could our white house correspondent what did donald trump and the republicans come up with. well they're coming up with a package that they believe will accomplish 3 things help kids create jobs and

also advance towards a vaccine now that is the goal of republicans but democrats say what is also needed in this package is for there to be money for state and local government something republicans are pushing back on the other point of difference between the $2.00 sides is the price tag republicans are saying this should come in at about one trillion dollars in relief well democrats are looking for 3 trillion in relief now given the fact that there are big differences we understand as a result of the meeting that took place with president trump along with his chief of staff and republican leaders on capitol hill here at the white house they now plan to shop this if you will on capitol hill with legislative members to try and build some sort of consensus on all of this but the timelines tight they're going to try and do this by the end of the month so not much time to get this done kimberly in this meeting we've been seeing pictures of what they don't trump and mitch mcconnell and and mike pence i think as well did you manage to stay on topic

and just keep to what was supposed to be discussed. oh well actually he drifted to another topic in response to a call by house democrats who are gravely concerned they say and are calling for an federal investigation into what they say are heavy handed tactics by federal authorities over the weekend particularly in portland where there is still ongoing social unrest protests going on and now the argument from democrats that this is really just an expression of their 1st amendment rights to peaceful protests republicans and the president say this was nothing there was nothing peaceful about these protests in fact there were attacks on people there were attacks on physical property so the u.s. president is pushing back on that what he says is he's not looking for less policing federal police he in fact is looking to add even more to cities like portland and others that he say are controlled by democrats around the country and

his words and his view are out of control we're sending law enforcement. portland was totally out of control the democrats and liberal democrats running the place had no idea what they were doing they were ripping down for $51.00 days ripping down that city destroying the city looting it the level of. corruption and what was going on there was an incredible. now expect the u.s. president to talk more about this we're hearing according to the press secretary in just the last few moments that the u.s. president made a make an announcement about additional federal policing in democrat run cities in the coming hours if that does not happen today we do expect according to donald trump that he will be having a briefing on tuesday he says this will be a bringing back of the crore virus taskforce briefings and of course for so controversy and even a problem for the president but in the absence of his ability to be able to

campaign it appears the president trying to get his message out anyway he can ok thanks kimberly we'll talk to you again soon egypt's parliament has just voted to allow president out the federal sisi to deploy troops outside the country this is a move which paves the way for sisi for possible intervention in neighboring libya the president had earlier threatened his country would support have to forces if tripoli's government and its turkish allies renewed their assault on the city of sirte the move comes hours after sisi made a phone call to u.s. president don't trump according to the egyptian presidency the 2 leaders agreed on the need to maintain a ceasefire in libya and to avoid and yes collation. and you haven't protesters in mali have descended on the capital bamako demanding the president's resignation they're blocking roads and burning tires a day after an opposition coalition rejected a plan from regional media it's that west african bloc eco was that recommended
