oh. this is al-jazeera. 1800 hours g.m.t. hello i'm come all santamaria here in doha with the news hour from al jazeera after months of infections deaths and global lock downs finally a hopeful sign early trials for a coronavirus vaccine are showing a positive response. we're not there yet but things are moving in the right direction in europe they're clinging to hope as leaders meet for a 4th day to try to overcome their differences over

a massive pandemic recovery budgets. the government has decided to suspend the extradition treaty and immediately and today. the u.k. takes action with hong kong of the tough new security don't post by china. an entire villages are underwater with millions affected by the worst flooding to hit china in decades. and i mean weddings are the sports news is the cricket t 20 world cup is spawned until next year because the coronavirus and on the week the tokyo lympics would do to start japan faces allegations of athlete a piece across 50 sports on have full details. sorry the fight against covert 19 has taken a small but potentially significant step the lancet medical journal has published

encouraging results from scientists at oxford university who have been conducting an early human testing for a corona virus. vaccine here's what they found 1st of all it did not cause any serious side effects and it produced a strong immune response it's not yet confirmed though whether the vaccine will react the same way when it actually responds to the virus right now it's been tested in large numbers in the u.k. as well as south africa and brazil next week it will also be tested on about 30000 participants in the united states all that there are more than $250.00 vaccines being produced around the world and $23.00 of them are already in human trials the world health organization has welcomed the progress but cautioned much more work needs to be done and that a vaccine should be made available to everyone with political commitment of course . that's the only way you can get you know fair distribution but one of the worrying part of this we see is. some

countries moving in the other direction of course more and more countries are joining the. benefits the advantages of making this global public good. evening in oxford in the u.k. that's where we find paul brennan poll obviously we take the cab gets that this is just a 1st step jay it's good to get some good news. it is i think the sun is shining on the oxford researches hits and i it's very pleased frankly couldn't have gone much better the results would have been published in the medical journal the lancet which peer reviews essentially the early preliminary findings of the research group have looked at what the researchers did with $1077.00 test subjects volunteers during the period from the end of april to the sort of mid may 56 days and what it found was that the substance that they were

given which was a kind of genetically modified common cold virus that you find in chimpanzees that they genetically modified it so that's the the glycoprotein spikes on it mimicked the corona virus that produced an immune response within the human body of the test subjects the volunteers in 2 elements 1st of all antibodies which are very important. to the virus and prevent the virus from infecting other cells but also t. cells now certain there are a variety of t. cells but one in particular is a kind of killer t. cell which attacks and destroys the virus cells when they get into the body what they found in the 1077 was that both responses were being provoked by the substance by the potential vaccine that they were injected with and that's really important and what's equally as important is the fact that the side effects were largely minimal no problems really at all bit of tiredness some headaches as well

but they were easily treatable with with paracetamol can you take me through and take out viewers through the phases as well what phase is this trial at and what does that actually mean does it give us some sort of timeline. well the findings published in the lancet relating to that test the test period of 56 days from april to may that was phase one stroke to a relatively small sample but because it was known even before today that no side effects had been provoked by this treatment they've already moved to phase 3 now that's really important phase 3 is where they use volunteers more than 10000 of them at a large scale test and they're doing phase 3 both in the u.k. but most importantly in places like south africa brazil and as you say in the united states to why is that important is because what we don't yet know about this

potential vaccine we know it provokes a immune response within the body but how much protection does that immune response give when you're actually exposed to the corona virus for a virus is not that prevalent here in the u.k. but it is prevalent at the infection rates are high in south africa and in brazil so the volunteers there who are vaccinated with this oxford vaccine potential vaccine the real crunch will be how do they respond when exposed to corona virus and that is when you're going to find out whether or not this has real effectiveness and how how much power and potential this potential vaccine has for the combating of corona virus some positive news from paul brennan there in oxford in the u.k. thank you paul let's expand on what paul was telling us about the trial process a vaccine 1st of all basically a type of medicine the trains the body's immune system it contains weekend or dead bacteria and viruses it is introduced into the body so that it can fight it is

these that it has not come into contact with before and then we get these human trials as we were saying 3 phases in the 1st you just have that small number of volunteers which are given the vaccine 1st of all go to see if it's safe in the 2nd phase hundreds more are tested to see if the vaccine is in is effective and they monitor for any side effects and by the time you're at the 3rd phase we're looking at thousands of volunteers who are studied in areas where they are supposed to the virus along with people without vaccinations. please stay with me through all of that we got some expert opinion from what for a little bit earlier who is a professor of epidemiology and medicine at columbia university she says this is exciting this is encouraging news we now have another 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 is 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 a little a little bit more than a 1000 participants sometimes you really need to study if axion a much larger 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 very critical to do the larger studies not only in terms of the safety but also of course to demonstrate where there and 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 who's been vaccinated is exposed

to true interaction so that's about treating the disease you've also got to treat the effects the economic effects and in what was their 1st face to face meeting in brussels since the pandemic began talks between european leaders were planned for just 2 days now into their 4th day as they try to agree on this recovery plan at stake an $857000000000.00 deal but still there is disagreement over how to distribute it. 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 pushing me for a really substantial program in this exceptional situation it was clear that it incredibly tough it will continue today but exceptional situations also require exceptional efforts so how does it all break down well you've got the

a use for biggest economies the likes of france and germany italy and spain they take the side which favors most of this money being paid out as a grant the other side is led by what they're calling the frugal for that is the netherlands austria denmark and sweden who want well they're ok with grants but they want those to be smaller and instead have bigger loans then there are countries like hungry in poland who object to the proposal being tied to democratic rights and also have some personal spats with some other members let's talk about life in paris keeping an eye on things what do you tell us 1st of all about president micron and what he's been saying today. well present mike ross been saying what he's been saying all along during this whole process is this matter of than e.u. summit continues he says that is absolutely vital that the e.u. 27 their member states back this recovery plan for the european union to help the

economies recover from the pandemic the pandemic which of course is still among us now what's micro is saying is not only is there of course a real urgency now because of the health crisis but this is also a time for the european union to step up to show unity solidarity and come together because what he says is if the european union fails to help people in europe pella fails to help we can member states right now then many people in europe may turn their back on the european union it might feel anti e.u. sentiment and that could possibly put the very future of the european union in stake if people in the next elections for example decide to back. you parties now that's why micro is very adamant the what they eat you needs to do right now he says is 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 so are we then seeing natasha moment in time a moment in european history where the small european nations are standing up and saying no our voice must be heard as well traditionally when we think you're we think of the big players the france and the spain's and italy's and germany's but these smaller countries are standing up so much more. well we heard of we heard from the austrian leader actually earlier in the day saying just that saying look you know this is no longer when i longer in the time when france and germany say we're going to do this and everyone follows there are 27 member states and iran has a voice and what's happening is that you know we're seeing the split between france

and germany but you know also italy and spain and other member states saying we need to back this fund is absolutely necessary to deal with the current virus pandemic and you have other more fiscally conservative states more concerned states such as the netherlands in austria are saying no we're worried about boring this amount of money from the financial markets as is being proposed by the e.u. commission and also we're worried about our shared debt so that is why they've been pushing very march for a series of loans rather than grants they would like those loans to come with conditions are and what we're seeing now though is the e.u. council head is actually put on the table a proposal and that's what's now being discussed in brussels among those e.u. leaders a proposal which would see this recovery fund roughly divided nearly 5050 between a series of grants and loans so that might please everyone or it might not please

anyone at all it really depends we have to see whether or not the leaders would be ready to sign off on that proposal and then if they would this would mean that they had reached an agreement and so we continue to wait don't we natasha butler in paris thank you. european leaders have blamed the dutch prime minister mark for singlehandedly blocking a deal for the covert 19 recovery fund in europe but he's been under target made all those accusations that vasant has a report now from amsterdam. marketa described it as a lonely fight never before has a dutch prime minister been so heavily criticized at a european summit in art i'm very i don't care i'm working hard for the interests of does citizens which are closely linked to european interests and all those comments i'll just ignore them i can't be distracted by them i see myself as someone who fights for you and other dirt citizens and for that it's important that there's a strong europe that can overcome this crisis the dutch prime minister is leading

a group called the frugal for also consisting of sweden denmark and austria who wants trick conditions for financial support to poorer european nations struggling with the economic fallout of covert 19 and margaret is playing hardball because there is no united kingdom in the negotiations. in previous years the dutch could always work together with the brits and the brits would take the lead i would say sort of against france and germany there is no u.k. now so russia has to do it all by himself with parliamentary elections next year and a growing number of euro skeptics among the electorate market could be hoping his stubbornness in brussels winds him faute at home i don't negotiate the process of dutch have been called state but many here don't see that as an insult they're proud to be tough negotiators and get as much as they can as cheap as possible like here at the market most in the netherlands still support the european union but

increasingly many here feel that dutch taxpayers are paying too much this trust of e.u. spending has grown in the netherlands since the last financial crisis in 2008 and the large bailout package for greece and not a source of resentment here is the early retirement age in southern european countries compared to the netherlands the thing with the dutch is that the dutch a very outspoken very direct and so is mr i think. but his point is a fair and good point and we. are one of the founders of the european union we believe strongly in the european union but if the european union does not in itself finds a way to to modernize and be a more. useful less spending organization it will go you know it will keep having these problems and these discussions namecalling nobody cares i think it's good

that we give the southern european countries money but i understand margaret a very well that he wants strict conditions i support him but i find it troubling that we are now being seen as the hardliners within europe i don't really like that but i understand why they see you as the sweet while the talks have been tough and long and brussels prime minister to may end up gaining at home for his hard nosed approach step fasten al-jazeera amsterdam. who is with us now c.e.o. of the steps center for european policy studies he's on skype from brussels maybe just as we've been listening to that report about about the netherlands do you think that the dutch prime minister has anything to answer to there that he's caused any problems unnecessary or otherwise. i mean you see there are some of those now lasting or at least for if they started on friday they still haven't gotten to inclusion all to the council president has an hour ago said that he's definitely a compromise but i think a maybe or doing it there has been

a lot of reaction against the dutch above all from the point of your let's set up they have this out again that if you're let's say like day are better than all of us but also all attend that the netherlands what is very well known is a basic it backs heaven there are many for example from portugal manicotti from portugal reach are based in the netherlands which have their holding company in the netherlands just because the regime is much more lenient than it is an article and this is a lot of articles that happens also pretty or for fragile also for our spanish companies and also for all the strong united states for example so the dutch are taking at it you basically it's not that a justifier on the other hand of course they are they have represent a bit ahead of you not only from the netherlands or if you see the conservative right but also be extreme right certain center which are against you but also from austria from sweden from denmark which do not want you to take this huge step for those who have to not let it what is the table now is doubling of the budget we

have about the budget only of one percent of g.d.p. 40 i mean for the e.u. to basically dispute about the member states this would bring it to 2 percent of g.d.p. and the big advantage would be like for cutting back spain and italy which has got a big hit you know don't forget that spain may go down to earth percent of g.d.p. if spain has to borrow the money itself on the markets it will be much more expensive than it you those at that sell mean even with a deep place there's buttle money on the market for almost nothing the rest if spain were to do with its threats will increase and the cost will be much higher it kind of i don't know this sorry to interrupt you i just wonder i wonder if we risk losing sight of that the central issue at the moment. thing in the last 4 days has been these big discussions about the euro project about the sides about the different viewpoints but really this is about facing coronavirus about helping countries recover from that surely this should be the time when the european union

could find that unity and lead but that i think in the end i helped us there will be a compromise but i know that all journalists in that region actually exaggerated. or to go let's explore relations mightn't that matter have to shit you agree i'm going to measure not no cost really are all right and on top of that we have seen there was no shame in that research at the beginning of the grown up crisis trauma belgium drug dealers but for example italy and this is the least you can do what the states. carol thank you so much for your time we do appreciate you joining us from brussels today thank you very much. so egypt's parliament has voted to allow president. to deploy troops outside of the country why is this important well it paves the way for any potential intervention in neighboring libya president sisi had earlier threatened his country

would support the forces of all of 34 have to if tripoli's government and its turkish allies launched an assault on the city of sirte that vote came hours after sisi had a phone call with the u.s. president donald trump interesting the according to the egyptian presidency the 2 leaders agreed on the need to maintain a cease fire and to avoid any escalation in libya just before that parliamentary vote the u.n. was warning though against any foreign intervention in the libyan conflict it particularly singled out egypt. whether it's syria gyptian already or were any other country. that has an influence over the parties in no or in libya i think they all know our position you know there is no military solution to this conflict this buildup of forces around sooty is worrying and just puts more libyan civilians at risk contact have been had with the egyptian authorities as i say

we're continuing to rich countries. to help relieve the ns agree on a lasting cease fire rather rather to 95 meanwhile it is interior ministers met the turkish defense minister in ankara to discuss the situation in libya both leaders agreed to continue the cooperation between the 2 countries turkey supports the un recognized government in tripoli why you've got egypt and the u.a.e. and russia backing khalifa haftar for libyan issues we turn to. political analyst and director of the tripoli based institute he's in london good to see you again i feel like there's some contradictions going on here egypt rubberstamp something essentially which allows president sees the to use force outside of egypt yet there's this phone call with donald trump where they're saying no no we're going to maintain the ceasefire not escalate things. well ever get

to be perfectly honest that is the 1st this has been the game of diplomacy where there is a public form of the primacy in that a. part of that reality so publicly speaking this is part of a strategy of brinksmanship than egypt has engaged in and many others in the region and the top of the region couldn't the u.a.e. also support after russia who supports hotter and france and leaving russia aside for a moment and we have to realize that this is all intended all of the fia. the parliamentary approval which is a rubber stamp you know animists which tells you a lot about egyptian democracy. and also is part of another series of meetings that they held with libyan tribes very old men in trouble uniform when they couldn't muster bring in the libyan parliament will bring in anything else that would offer legitimacy now one of the theatrics in the public domain is that intended to show that they may breach the border with libya which is in a massive escalation it would it would be something that the u.s. in particular and many other countries in the region would be sort of would be

scared about in terms of its possibility of a craving for the turmoil in libya privately they know that turkey and the g.n.a.t. the government in tripoli the u.n. but government tripoli and they're intending on moving forward and pushing over this east west that void this is that is not just a symbolic city it's a strategic to the it's kilometers from the libyan soil it also means that the bad input between east and west and symbolically what could be one or 2 or even 3 states in libya gene and turkey want to move forward but egypt is really really worried about losing all of its influence is that libya after losing control of their battle resources there so it's about defending that and trying to create all of this electrically smoke and mirrors so to speak in order to try and get try to make a phone call to ergo this is phone call diplomacy at its worst not of silence and nothing really by the sounds of it to do with the libyan people this is about everyone else out there i know these are sides which back different sides in libya extensively but it's becoming one of the i don't like using this phrase but one of

these proxy wars. it wasn't a proxy war of this moment i mean even the libyan actors themselves are a form of plausible deniability in the engagement after and his libyan national army most of the photos are not libyan they're russian chadli and mercenaries well documented by the united nations by the experts it's certainly not national because doesn't exist in one or even 2 parts of the country and as an army when you find russian you know so it's for a full 65 russians with a mass of tattoos on their sides nothing looks like an army in libya so the real appeal of this meeting you know about the libyans or even engaging many of the libyans is not a joke up there is that there doesn't have to represent any of the moves being made by the egyptians well about the russians they are in charge of their own operations now so i don't think it's even a proxy war it's direct intervention and it's strange that egypt is talking about the fact that it needs to cut its own national interests when the sovereign government the internationally recognized government of libya is trying to expand its territorial grip and we take its own territory so it's

a very bizarre set of circumstances that we bought us open and to touch upon the 1st point that you made about libyan civilians libyan civilians were the root of the priority here what about the hundreds of thousands that were displaced from tripoli and fighting the hundreds of thousands that were displaced and have been killed over the last several years in fighting in the east of the country the 3000000 whose works or was stopped illegally for months during code one thing that has absolutely nothing to do with civilians or but with an idea of the responsibility to protect them it's the irony that libya libya's 1st transition came as the united nations resolution 1073 at the protection to you know responsibility to protect civilian lives and in most other live and so it's become a really really long road from the incremental diplomacy that's really bad phone call diplomacy we're told brinkmanship and hotel and smoke and mirrors and both very little to do with the libyan people themselves always good to get always good to have to get some clarity from you and i sell them a thank you thank you. on to other news the british government is suspending its

extradition treaty with hong kong and is blocking arms sales this is in response to beijing's new national security law the foreign secretary dominic robbins described the measures as reasonable and proportionate last month china imposed its sweeping legislation over hong kong which outlaws what it considers secession subversion terrorism and collusion with foreign forces backers outside the houses of parliament in london with more on this one leave i guess this is what happens when britain has such strong historical ties to hong kong that it feels it and deems it necessary to step up its response. britain feels that it's pushing back against beijing's wholesale you know actual destruction of the one nation 2 systems arrangement when it comes to hong kong something that's been in place since the handover and is pushing back in 3 different ways firstly by extending an arms embargo on weapons going to hong kong

that embargo has been in place weapons going to mainland china since the late 1980 s. and includes equipment dominant rob equipment that can be used for internal repression of rails. comments perhaps it relating to the hong kong police's crackdown on protests there also the government has reiterated its invitation to as many as 3000000 hong kong citizens giving them the right to come and live and work in the u.k. new immigration channels are being opened so it's all make wrap but also the decision to put an end to a 30 year extradition arrangement between the u.k. and hong kong over fears that if people a sense from the u.k. to hong kong that they could be moved on to mainland china and face tough sentences for crimes that they would face lesser sentences for in hong kong on the note is what dominic robb had to say. i'm particularly concerned about articles 55 to 59

the polow which give mainland china chinese authorities the ability to assume jurisdiction over certain cases and to try those cases in mainland chinese courts. i should 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 the u.k. being misused under the new national security legislation. which under the u.k. have been a collision course for several weeks now dominate rob accusing beijing of serious human rights violations in china's treatment of the muslim minority population in shutting jang province also last week under immense pressure from the united states the u.k. decided to cut tech giant huawei house of britain's 5 g. development despite threats of retaliation from beijing beijing has accused the

u.k. of unnecessary meddling in its own internal affairs and when it comes to our way of dancing to washington's choosing he's back in london thank you for that it's some analysis from address folder now he's a senior fellow at the university of nottingham asia research institute he explained to us why he believes the u.k. had no option but to suspend that treaty. as a signatory of the $184.00 sign of british joint declaration the british government really had no choice the chinese communist party was in breach of that internationally finding treaty that's large for 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 yes such if the british government had done nothing i think that would have. undermined its

credibility worldwide they greenman was that hong kong would preserve its you know democratic way of life for the next 50 years so 20th. into that agreement the chinese party unilaterally kind of withdrew from that. 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. still ahead for you on this news our president trump meets republican leaders to finalize a trillion dollar bailout package as the country struggles during the undemocratic . back on the streets of mali demanding the president steps down the protests resumed after the regional mediation fails and in sport the

on the news on here at al-jazeera these are the top stories there is encouraging results coming out of human testing 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. egypt's parliament voted to allow president up the federal c.c. to deploy troops outside the country that paves the way for any potential intervention in neighboring libya. and the british government is suspending its extradition treaty with hong kong and is blocking. the measures are in response to beijing's new national security goal of a host on hong kong last. let's look at the u.s. now where president donald trump's insisted good things are underway after meeting

republican party leaders to discuss a trillion dollar economic bailout the united states is still struggling to contain what is the world's biggest corona virus outbreak nearly 3800000 cases nationwide and more than 140000 deaths well we are up and down these coasts to on this news hour we've got andy gallagher in miami florida which is the current epicenter of the u.s. outbreak will come to you in a 2nd and i want to start with kimberly how could at the white house what's coming out of this latest bailout plan kimberly. yeah but what we're hearing is that the focus according to the u.s. president will be of 3 things it will be on kids jobs and vaccines that's what this white house is looking for out of this 4th major economic relief package now democrats for their part have passed something earlier in a number of weeks ago and they say one of the big components of that it's missing from the republican plan is support for state and local governments so that is

a big point of contention that is why we know that republicans the chief of staff for the u.s. president as well as his treasury secretary heading to capitol hill on tuesday to try and shop this around trying to build consensus not just among republicans but also try to wince of democrats over this and it's a tight timeline because not only is there that point of difference what needs to be funded but also by how much republicans talking one trillion dollars price tag democrats looking for something in a neighborhood of 3 trillion in economic relief so they're going to have to try and do this in the next couple of weeks before congress goes into its summer recess kimberly we've seen recently i guess donald trump has a lot of things on his mind one of them being what he talks about u.s. cities being destroyed by quote unquote the radical left something he's continuing to talk about. yeah he in the same meeting kind of veered off topic that

responding to something that seemed to upset him and that is a call by house democrats in addition to working on credit 2 virus funding they wanted investigation a federal investigation into some of the policing the stake in place at the federal level particularly over the weekend in portland oregon they say this was heavy handed it was pushing back on what they say was otherwise peaceful protesting the white house saying this was not peaceful at all in fact of portland chicago and other democrat led cities the president is alleging that things are out of control that 1st amendment protesting has turned into destruction of property attacks on individuals that's why he says he is deploying more federal police to cities around the nation looking ahead 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 the

city destroying the city looting in the level of. corruption and what was going on there is incredible. now the u.s. president expected to make another announcement today potentially some more information on this task force if you will of policing that is to be dispatched around the nation in minutes of that he's also said that he will be bringing back those coronavirus task force briefings we understand the 1st will be on tuesday president maybe may not attend but this is something to try and control the message and of course he's been heavily criticized by those handling as provirus cases in the united states continue to search ok kimberly how could sit at the white house thank you. well antigovernment protesters in mali have descended on bamako demanding the president's resignation they're blocking roads and burning tires a day after an opposition coalition rejected a plan by regional mediators west african recommended president abraham form

a unity government with the opposition but that opposition the june 5 movement wants to step down for poor handling of the economy and a lack of security. and says the demonstrations are spread. to major cities across mali. they've taken to the streets again today blocking certain neighborhoods of bamako this morning they tried to block the 2 main bridges that connect the north and the south of the city of bam ago we're hearing also same demonstration in same movement of trying to block roads in the historic town of timbuktu in the north of the country they blocked also the road that leads from bamako to the town of coral so that's following. a call to action by the m 5 the movement of the june late last night calling in what they describe
