1:02 am
have gone much better for the oxford team early positive signs now confirmed in the published research this is an important milestone on the park 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 a disease than the. 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 attacked the infected cells t.

cell response peaked just 14 days after volunteers rejected 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 am 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
1:04 am
sitting in front of the t.v. 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 ounce it gave it i think there's going to be a few different says 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 earlier i spoke to professor adrian hill from the oxford university research group he explains what what will happen next where at the stage now of looking for efficacy or seen and that has involved recruiting almost $10000.00 equal interests are all phase 3 trial those people are being recruited at 19 centers around the country in britain and we
1:05 am
are following those to see who gets infected by and. that will come to a conclusion as soon as we have enough cases in the 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 above there are more cases or less cases ideally of vaccine cohabit in the backseat route and in the polls we are confident that as with nearly all vaccines the immune responses last years not months and even though they make applying a bit over time we don't expect that the initial problem in other words the vaccine should last for at least a year and saying ok fully longer there. talks on a massive pandemic recovery package and now in their 4th day in brussels with european council president saying he's confident a deal will be struck agreement of the $2.00 trillion dollar budgets has been beset
1:06 am
by deep ideological differences focused on the roughly $850000000000.00 coronavirus recovery fund it's not in divisions over how much would be repayable the latest proposal is for $445000000000.00 in essentially free grants that's more than countries including the netherlands want and less than the amount table by france and germany went to the joins us live from paris natasha we're nearing the end of day for any indications so far how talks going. no indication yet but the talks do continue and they've been continuing since there's e.u. summit began on friday so a fraud tense negotiations hostile at different times but what we do know is the e.u. council had shown michel has put on the table now a proposal that he hopes could be signed off by the e.u.
1:07 am
$27.00 when that would be of course we still don't know but a but this proposal seems to make some concessions to the so-called frugal for so these are for countries austria denmark sweden and the netherlands that opposed the initial recovery fund in the 1st place they were worried about the size of it they were worried about the idea of shared debt they were worried about giving grants and loans without any conditions to some member states for example they wanted money to be given with a condition that would mean that that member state might have to reform its economy for example now michelle is hoping though that was on the table might convince them to sign off on it the french presence amount of micros been very adamant over the last days and weeks that whatever happens the e.u. must back a really big recovery fund for europe to deal with the current virus pandemic right now but also because if it doesn't then that might feel empty you sentiment
1:08 am
within the european union with people who feel that they have simply been let down by the e.u. and that is why he's really been pushing for a very ambitious plan. if we do not meet a spirit of compromise and ambition is to take the risk of returning to hard 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 was a very complex structure of this recovery plan and the money would be borrowed by the e.u. commission on the financial markets and it's part of the e.u. budgets and that is what the discussions are really focused on as we move from monday into tuesday here in europe the focus is really on the e.u.
1:09 am
budget how much of it will be part of this recovery plan or not and only when all those negotiations on the budget are concluded will leaders know whether or not they're going to really sign off on this recovery plan so it looks like these discussions could go on at least for a few hours they could even go on some leaders have indicated into another day at ash about and thank you very much indeed. well as natasha mentioned the deadlocks being blamed on the so-called frugal for a group of northern european nations led informally by the dutch and prime minister mark ritter they say they're tired of bailing out states in southern europe with memories of the euro zone crisis still looming large but a steadfast report from amsterdam taking a stand in brussels is paying dividends at home. marker to describe it as a lonely fight never before has a dutch prime minister been so heavily criticized at a european summit package in art i'm very i don't care i'm working hard for the interests of their citizens which are closely linked to european interests and all
1:10 am
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 4 also consisting of sweden denmark and austria who want strict conditions for financial support to poorer european nations struggling with the economic fallout of covert 19 and margaret is playing hardball because the rich 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
1:11 am
stubbornness in brussels when some folks at home i don't negotiate on process of dutch have been called stagey 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. by. his point is it's a fair and good point and we 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
1:12 am
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 the very world that he wants to conditions i support him but i find it troubling that we are now being seen as the hardliners with the euro i don't really like that but i understand why they say used this week 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. egypt's parliament has approved the deployment of troops to libya to defend quote national security and provide president abdel fattah sisi with

percival next with that front comes in which won't be too late in the week but look at it but interesting development here now if you remember the rain that was wanted in tropical queen's and indeed tropical australia a little bit lacking governments ago so this is probably a useful addition that's the forecast for wednesday significant rain for tropical queensland. there seems no rain throughout china the korean peninsula and japan has changed its orientation we recently saw significant rain in north korea that disappeared eastwards and will hit the shores of honshu a whole kaido and then this line 10 years though it is the next development it develops in china just across the yellow sea and hits the far south of south korea but that still looks fairly persistent so the forecast for example is sitting on june the south would be cloudy humid and then rain for thursday and friday and maybe beyond.
