the early. early results show an experimental coronavirus vaccine being developed in the u.k. is safe and triggers an immune response in healthy volunteers. on our intent of this is our jazeera live from london also coming up heading into negotiations for a 4th day a unity does consider a new proposal on that pandemic recovery plan will it be enough to break the
10:01 pm
deadlock. egypt's parliament accuse president for approval to deploy troops to neighboring libya to defend national security. anti-government protesters once again descend on the mali and capital determined to remove the president from power. and there's been a breakthrough in the urgent search for a coronavirus vaccine here in the u.k. a candidate treatment developed at unprecedented speed by a team at the university of oxford has shown promising early results scientists say it's safe for humans and triggered the critical immune response which could stop the virus in its tracks on the findings are encouraging larger trials still need to be done over and begins our coverage from oxford. phase one really could have gone much better for the oxford team early positive signs now confirmed in the published
10:02 pm
research this is an important milestone on the par but we're now moving rapidly forwards to try to evaluate whether the vaccine actually protects the population. by conducting large scale trials we have 10000 people already vaccinated around the world we still see how the vaccine in older people more is the disease than the thank you so that's the subject of work and to be more public. the oxford vaccine is adapted from a common cold virus found in chimpanzees spike glycoprotein a genetic material from the co with 19 virus was added the hope is the human body will develop immunity to the spike protein stopping the virus from entering cells and preventing infection tests indicate the vaccine produces 2 reactions by producing a defensive antibody response as well as t. cells which attack the infected cells t.
10:03 pm
cell response peaked just 14 days after volunteers were injected antibody response peak to 28 days and side effects were minor mainly just tiredness and headaches treated with paracetamol i'm hopeful i've got my fingers crossed but to say that i'm 100 percent confident that we'll get a vaccine this year or in the next year is a last just you know an exaggeration we're not there yet this is a hugely encouraging result for the team here in oxford but provoking an immune reaction is just the 1st stage in vaccine development phase 3 trials are already underway in the u.k. south africa and brazil are looking at issues such as optimal dosage and exactly how much protection vaccinated people have when exposed to the actual corona virus fairly cameron was injected with the oxford vaccine as part of the phase 3 trials she's a family doctor herself and has lost friends and patients to the. iris rather than sitting in front of the t.v.
10:04 pm
and screaming at the mortality rates every day screaming at politicians or getting annoyed and say should media write i really felt very strongly. that i wanted to do something i just wanted to be a part of the answer after a day i think there's going to be one answer to pave it i think there's going to be a few different. 9 in 10 vaccine projects and in failure and there's no guarantee that the early promise of the oxford trials will lead to an effective covert job but it is a very positive step paul brennan al-jazeera oxford where he's been out to profess a journey hill from the oaks and research group he joins us live via skype thanks so much for being with us so in your interpretation of this how significant a step is this. really to report results here so certainly the vaccine which was being tested in a 1000 people in the paper published today showed a very good safety program so we're very reassured by that perhaps not surprising
10:05 pm
but very good see more importantly and very encouraging lady immune responses that actually in produces have been found to be pretty encouraging we're seeing that both sides of the immune system are triggered into action reducing antibodies on the one hand and t. cells of the cellular immune system on the other and the numbers are pretty encouraging about the level that you would see in somebody who said early so there are significant bit injection so these are really about as good as we could have hoped at this stage but that seems and well when we know if it's something it actually is a prevent infection from the virus rather than reduces the reaction to it. so where at the stage now looking for efficacy of seen and that has involved recruiting almost $10000.00 equal into us are all phase 3 trial those people are being
10:06 pm
recruited at 19 centers around the country in britain and we are calling those to see who gets infected by that and. that will come to a conclusion as soon as we have enough cases in a trial that hasn't happened yet it will probably take a couple of months at least yet so we will get an answer on whether or not there are more cases or less cases ideally of vaccine cohabit in the backseat group and in the front and i presume determining how long immunity lasts with the vaccine it is critical that jaggedly indication at this early stage of how likely it is to have a lasting effect but we can't judge how long efficacies subtlely have some efficacy so we don't know that yet but we are confident that as with nearly all vaccines the immune responses last years not months and even though they make applying
10:07 pm
a bit over time we don't expect that to be an additional problem in other words the vaccine should last for at least a year thing fully long so the main problem right now is to get a vaccine that we can deploy and use even if it only did last for a year that would still be very useful indeed and what we've shown in this report today is that we can give the vaccine again and boost immunity with the us and to me and you mentioned a couple of months in terms of testing and or expanding the testing or in terms of availability for winding use what's in a timescale are we looking at. well that could be relatively quick but after we get a positive result we do in a trial you might need a lot of months to authorize ations or what's called emergency use checks a nation. and it's a question of how much vaccine can be manufactured quick and that process has already started that 8 countries in a countries around the world who are busily scaling up manufacture one of those
10:08 pm
manufactured silkies is aiming to produce a 1000000 doses of this vaccine over the next 12 months which would be quite a unprecedented so there's a very serious effort going on to scale up and infection and to make this available as quickly as possible as a good health thank you very much indeed for taking the time to appreciate it thank you. and talks on a massive and then make we're covering package out in their 4th day in brussels with european council president showing michelle saying he's confident a deal will be struck agreement over the $2.00 trillion dollars budget has been beset by deep ideological differences focused on the roughly $850000000000.00 coronavirus recovery fund is highlighting divisions over how much would be repayable and i suppose was for 445000000000 dollars in essentially free grants that's more than countries including the netherlands want and less than the amount
10:09 pm
table by france and germany and joins us live now from paris so where do things stand now natasha. well what we have is this proposal by the e.u. council headshell michel and it comes after several days and nights of intense discussions between the e.u. use $27.00 leaders now when they went into these talks at the beginning of the summit on friday what was on the table was this roughly 860000000000 dollar recovery fund to help europe's economies recover from the current virus pandemic the discussions over the past few days of really focused on how would that money be distributed is the size of the fund the $1.00 that we want and these are where the divisions come on one side you have countries like france and germany pushing for that full fund on the other side you've got countries more fiscally conservative nations like the netherlands pushing back on it worried about the shared debt and
10:10 pm
worried about the idea of grants they preferred the idea of loans at the end of these talks or not at the end i should say because they are ongoing of course but at the end of that 1st phase of discussions the e.u. council head has now said here is the proposal on the table this is what i want us to sign off on if you like and this is a rough split of this $860000000000.00 fund roughly between grants and loans and as you point out that my not to please some of those more fiscally conservative countries like the netherlands and france and germany it's certainly wanted more grants and loans but we'll have to see whether or not is the sort of compromise that could please everyone you'd imagine that shell michele imagines that it is either way we know that the french president emmanuel macro has really urged leaders to back a deal to qantas some sort of unity over
10:11 pm
a deal to show solidarity at a time of crisis because he said if not this will simply fuel anti e.u. sentiments in the e.u. which is why he's calling for ambition. if we do not meet a spirit of compromise and ambition is to take the risk of returning to harder times and for someone 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. was a very complex situation indeed in fact shell michele has urged leaders to really complete what he is calling a mission impossible and what e.u. leaders and now doing is they're locked in more talks and discussions on this recovery fund hoping to sign off on this proposal perhaps but also on the e.u.
10:12 pm
budget because the fund is linked to the future budget so talks expected to go on for several hours yet that about thank you very much indeed. egypt's parliament has approved the deployment of troops to libya to defend national security it provides president defacto sisi with a mandate for possible intervention in the conflict since he has previously threatened to support her if you have to as forces if tripoli's government and its turkish allies renewed their assault on the city of sit and move could bring egypt and turkey into direct confrontation and also combating is a political analyst and director of the tripoli based sadek institute he says egypt is concerned about losing its influence in eastern libya. they know that turkey and the g.n.a.t. government trick of the un but government tripoli and they're intending on moving
10:13 pm
forward and pushing over this east west the void is that your sort is not just a symbolic city it's a strategic city it's kilometers from libya's oil it also has the dividing point between east and west and symbolically what could be one or 2 or even 3 states in libya now to gina turkey want to move forward that egypt is really really worried about losing all of its influence is that libya after losing control of the battle or resources there so it's about defending that and trying to create all of this theoretically smoke and mirrors so to speak in order to try and get to make a phone call to other gun this is phone call diplomacy at its worst not as once so come on al-jazeera the hong kong fair as they launch outbreak it has managed to prevent as case numbers upwards. and stop the migraine criticism president trump says he will resume daily coronavirus briefings.

al jazeera hong kong. as the united states struggles to contain the world's biggest corona virus outbreak president trump says he will resume the white house briefings from tuesday the president held a daily public ratings at the start of the pandemic but suspended them in april after widespread criticism of misleading statements have been 83800000 cases across america and more than 140000 deaths. let's go to andy calicos live for us in miami florida florida's one of the worst hit states what's the situation there now. well lauren more than 10000 new cases reported today here on monday now 360000 people have been tested in this state and around 15 percent of them are testing for covert 19 but perhaps the most shocking figure is this state has now lost more than 5000 of its residents to covert 99 to put all that into perspective
10:21 pm
about 3 and a half to 4 weeks ago by contract to the virus myself which is why i've not been standing here reporting on this state being ravaged by covert 19 and back then we were talking about 2000 new cases per day which seem shocking at the time and around 3000 deaths so that just gives you some perspective of what's going on in this state the governor on the scientists gave a press briefing earlier in which he was booed by protesters in not and that press briefing he was talking about people giving donations of blood who'd actually had the virus because they can use that in hospitals but the intensive care units here in this state now and i can talk about miami dade county specifically are about 75 percent full in other parts of the state they are completely full and yet there is no mandated mask wearing you've got different leaders here making different decisions the mayor of miami saying that they may well go into shutdown again here in miami dade county because things are getting so bad meanwhile randa santa is a close ally of president trump absolutely does not want to talk about businesses
10:22 pm
closing once again that's his priority want to see the economy up and running again and of course president trump is talking about resuming those daily coronavirus briefings where the dr anthony found the leading expert from the center for disease control will be in on those briefings is unclear because the president has some fairly unkind words to say about him but i think the frustrating thing for someone like myself and many others who've had this virus is i sit outside my house watching party boats going by young people on those boats taking instagram pictures and social media pictures and not abiding by the simple rules that have been put forward by people like the c.d.c. to wear masks and not gather in large groups those are some of the challenges this state is seeing at the moment and covert 19 cases continually increasing thank you very much danny i don't put a knife in miami for us. president trump has again outlined his plans to send law enforcement passed now to several democrat led cities as part of

a federal crackdown on anti racism protests this despite criticism of the tactics used by offices during demonstrations in the city of portland a white house correspondent committee how could ask house democrats who are gravely concerned they say and are calling for a 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 i know the argument from democrats that this is really just an expression of their 1st amendment rights to peaceful protests of 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
