tensions not to mention the small matter of a looming election join me steve clemons in conversation with leading voices on the bottom line your weekly take on u.s. politics and society on al-jazeera. if you want to help save the world here's sneeze and hero. small signs of hope in the fight against corona virus a vaccine trial in the u.k. shows some promising results. follow on down jordan this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up talks continue in brussels for a 4th day of the e.u.'s coronavirus economic recovery plan. with 19 infections are still rising rapidly in the u.s.

florida cases soar past 100048 6th straight day. and finding a new way to show team spirit this college football season the pandemic is forcing campuses to adapt. we begin with the fight against covert 19 and a breakthrough in the race to develop a vaccine the lancet medical journal has published encouraging results from scientists at oxford university who've been conducting early human testing well they found their vaccine appears to be safe and produced a strong immune response right now it's being tested in large numbers in the u.k. south africa and brazil there are more than $250.00 different vaccines being worked on around the world with 23 of them already in human trials the world health organization has welcomed the progress but says that any viable vaccine must be

available to everyone we split you can call me them and of course. that's the only way you can get you know fair distribution but. one of the warring 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. begins our coverage now from oxford. phase one really couldn't have gone much better for the oxford team early positive signs now confirmed in the published research so 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 need how the vaccine in older people more is the disease than the. so that's the subject of work and to be more public and. 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. 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 indeed 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 virus. rather than sitting in front of the t.v. and screaming at the mortality rates every day or screaming at politicians or getting annoyed and social media right i really felt very strongly. that i wanted to do something i just wanted to be a part of the armed sarah i don't think there's going to be one answer to pave it i think there's going to be

a few different answers 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 jab but it is a very positive step paul brennan al-jazeera oxford where professor adrian hill is part of that research group at oxford he explains what will happen next. the immune responses that the vaccine produces have been found to be pretty encouraging we're seeing that both signs of the immune system are triggered interaction producing antibodies on the one hand and t. cells part of the center immune system on the other and the numbers that are pretty encouraging about the level that you would see in somebody who's had a really severe or significant bit infection so these are really about as good as we could have hoped at this stage of the vaccines journey so where at this stage now looking for ethical sea at the scene and that has involved recruiting almost

$10000.00 people into our circles phase 3 trial those people are being recruited at 19 centers around the country in britain and we are following those to see who gets infected by it 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 we will get an answer on whether or not there are more cases or less cases i didn't really of vaccine. of it in the backseat group and in the polls we can't judge how long efficacies something we 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 a bit over time we don't expect that to be an initial problem in other words the

vaccine should last for at least a year and thank fully long for that 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 focus. the year leaders are locked into their 4th night of tense negotiations over a coronavirus rescue fund there are signs that a deal may be imminent france and germany want the e.u. nations most affected to receive bailout grants but there's resistance from some members who want loans not handouts that reports. american ease summit and the fatigue was evident leaders arrived for more talks on a proposed $860000000000.00 fund to help the bloc recover from the corona virus pandemic the leaders of spain italy france and germany the 27 to back the deal as.

it's clear that these are incredibly tough negotiations and they will continue but exceptional situations also require exceptional efforts we have done justice to this so far and i hope that the remaining distance which will not be easy can be covered by discussions of the intense and at times hostile he does disagree over the size of the fund and how the money would be distributed the main opposition coming from leaders of sweden denmark austria and the netherlands the same called frugal full he worries about shared debt and prefer loans with strict conditions rather than grants. we haven't found a way out yet it may still fail but i'm more optimistic than i was at one point last night i said to myself it over the french president says the e.u. must show unity and solidarity at a time of crisis or risk feeling and e.u. sentiment. we must enter into the details of a proposal it must be a proposal of compromise which each of us moves forward but it must retain the

ambitions of our great european policies for the future that proposal came on monday evening with concessions made to the frugal 4 e.u. council headshell michel leaders to sign off on the full 860000000000 figure spit nearly equally into loans and grants with some conditions attached i know the last steps are always the most difficult but then turned for didn't i think that even if difficult even. will be important to turn to new to work i think and i am convinced that an agreement is possible only. in the summit michele said it was time to finish what he called a mission impossible the choice he said was between a europe capable of building unity in trust or a weak europe undermined by mistrust national interests are clearly at stake but so is the use reputation. as a butler joins us live now from paris natasha as you're saying in your report there

these talks of turn into a marathon summit any indication yet that we're near to an agreement or signs from brussels are there with any nearer turn agreement than we were when these talks began on friday. leaders seemed to be making the sort of noises which suggested an agreement could be done within hours possibly at least another day maybe not more than that but shell michel the e.u. council head as you saw there in that report he has put forward his proposal after days of discussions and his proposal make some concessions to the so-called froogle for those 4 e.u. member states that opposed the size of this deal that opposed the idea of free grants that really wanted moans with conditions well it seems that social michelle has listened to them is made concessions in his proposal that might appeal to them

now the question is can this proposal appeal to all 27 member states they've been extremely divided over the last few days they want to find an agreement the willing is there the will is there i should say to find some sort of to agree on some sort of fund that is going to help european economies recover from the current virus pandemic but it's all been a question of the details and that's really what they've been hammering out hammering out and what they continue to hammer out right now all right and attach a lot of their life for some power some touch of thank you. u.s. president donald trump isn't putting the conflict in libya on his agenda holding talks with multiple leaders on the situation in a phone call with egypt's president abdel fattah el-sisi the white house says the 2 leaders affirmed the need for immediate deescalation in libya including through a ceasefire tramples i spoke with the french president emanuel mark roll about deescalation with a white house statement saying the situation has been exacerbated by the presence of foreign forces and arms that egypt's parliament later voted to allow president

sisi to deploy troops abroad that allows a potential intervention in neighboring libya sisi has previously threatened to support warlord hell if i have to ask forces if tripoli's government and its turkish allies launched an assault on the city of sirte here are some of the control of have task forces as a gateway to libya's oil rich region but just before that parliament vote the u.n. warned against any foreign intervention in the libyan conflict and particularly singled out egypt where they would see a gyptian with already or were any other country. has an influence or look towards him no in libya i think they all know our position you did there is no military solution to this country that this buildup of forces around city is worrying interest rates more libyan civilians at risk contact you

have been had with the egyptian. authorities there say we're continuing to rich countries. to help alleviate these agree on a lasting cease fire rather rather 95 meanwhile libya's interior minister has met the turkish and qatari defense ministers in ankara to discuss the situation the leaders agreed to continue cooperation between their countries supporting the u.n. recognize government in tripoli while the u.a.e. egypt and russia back after. time for a short break here al-jazeera when we come back fighting a lonely fight we'll find what people in the netherlands think about their prime minister's relationship with the european union. and back out on the streets of bamako we'll have reaction to a new proposal by international mediators to end the crisis in mali more on that stay with us.

for. how the still a warning for heat and humidity excessive heat is in some states in the eastern u.s. because although there's a cold front here trying to go that direction hasn't made it so if you're sitting in washington d.c. if you're in delaware it's going to be pretty unpleasant temps have come down behind that frontal system down to the high twenty's maybe low thirty's and the front itself and the air typically is generating yet again big showers for the midwest surprisingly not so further south at the moment in the tropical heat of the texas coast for example in louisiana not much is going on immediately but it might to the entire weekend at the same time with these high temperatures eventually it starts to turn sherry in new york d.c. and down rallies well. but in the caribbean this is a potential development areas had to get out of the gulf of mexico the moment is a mass of thunderstorms no more than that it will be doing that then turning in

thunderstorms that might try and revolve as it disappears through western cuba or on tuesday or indeed wednesday but a clump of showers appears for going through the bahamas and has been near once again otherwise it's a very sherry period at the moment but no is concentrating over any particular landmass is really what might form in the gulf of mexico or. a conflict that is now considered to be the world's worst humanitarian crisis how many would not have to die behind this stop this harnesses on or really for sale and investigation into how billions of euros are made from supplying arms to saudi arabia a leader of the coalition fighting a ruling the south the case is interesting. because of the much money involved yemen war profiteers on al-jazeera.

welcome back a quick amount of our top stories here on al-jazeera oxford university has made a breakthrough in the race to develop a coronavirus vaccine early results appear to show it's safe and triggers an immune response world health organization has welcomed the progress. egypt parliament has voted to allow president abdel fattah el-sisi to deploy troops outside the country allows for a possible intervention in libya u.s. president donald trump has called sisi to urge the escalation. the your leaders are considering a new budget proposal put forward by the council president to try to break the deadlock over a massive pandemic recovery package members are divided over how the multi-billion

dollar fund should be given out. some e.u. leaders have blamed the dutch prime minister mark rutte for singlehandedly blocking a deal for that covert 19 recovery fund but russia has been undeterred by the accusations a step vast in reports 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 their 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 is 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 want strict conditions for financial support to poor 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 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 marker to 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 are proud to be tough negotiators and get as much as they can as cheap as possible like here at the market most in the metal and 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 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 find 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 use discussions name calling 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 and so that florida is and during the worst coronavirus outbreak in the united states new cases of sordid past $10000.00 for a 6 day in a row that's a figure higher than most countries california and texas are also experiencing surges it takes the nationwide infection total to nearly 3800000 with 140000 deaths president trump says he will resume white house briefings from tuesday landed gallagher joins us live now from miami and the florida is one of the worst hit states the figure is a pretty shocking aren't they what's the situation there now. all makes for a pretty depressing read darren $360000.00 cases across the state more than $5000.00 deaths and about a 14 or 15 percent infection rate among those that are tested not to put or the

soul into perspective about 3 and a half to 4 weeks ago i contracted covered 1000 myself which is why i've not been standing in reporting on this state being ravaged by the pond demick on the last day i reported before i became ill we were talking about 2000 cases a day and about 3000 deaths and as he said over the past 10 days every day has suppressed 10000 new cases a day in fact on july the 12th it was about 15000 so it really is a dire situation here in the sunshine state the governor of the state run descent as a close ally of president trump is refusing to even talk about shutting down the economy once again but as before many of the local leaders are taking a different tact here the mare of miami is talking about possibly closing down the economy once again if things don't get any better there's already a curfew in place here where i am from 10 pm till 6 am in the morning for the emergency wards that are about 75 percent full in miami dade county some of the

other parts of the state it is almost entirely full if not full completely so the bed space is running out at the moment and i have to say as someone who's had covered 19 and i think a lot of other people feel the same way it's very disappointing for me to watch boats of young people partying along the intercoastal taking pictures themselves to social media or not wearing masks because there is no mask monday so it is a very difficult situation for all involved but ron descent is the governor of this state is refusing point blank to talk about closing down the economy again he's a close ally of president trump as i said that is the goal he wants to see the economy up and running again and making money but just in the last few moments an official in jacksonville florida has said the possibility. holding the republican convention which president was hoping to go to is now beyond the point of return because things are so bad in that city that just gives you an idea of how about the situation is here in florida and if these figures don't start trending downwards it

is i think of many people's minds here what are the leaders going to do when we get some guidance because there's an awful lot of confusion here there's long wait times for test results something up to 10 days in some cases and i've been seeing reports of people getting positive results when that isn't the case because the liberties of been messing up their test results so it is really a dire situation here in florida people looking for leadership and at the same time the front line stuff in the hospitals all across the state are really feeling the strain of this pandemic or add to and they've got to live for us there in florida and be thanking the british government is suspending its extradition treaty with hong kong and blocking arm sales in response to beijing's new national security nor the foreign secretary dominic robb has described the measures as reasonable and proportionate last month china imposed sweeping new legislation which outlaws what it calls session some of the terrorism in collusion with foreign entities. i'm particularly concerned about articles 55 to 59 the below which give mainland china

chinese authorities the ability to assume jurisdiction over certain cases and to try these cases in mainland chinese schools. also tell the house that we would not consider reactivating varies 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. a delegation of west african leaders are heading back to mali later this week to help mediate and a growing political crisis anti-government protesters have descended on the capital bamako demanding the president's resignation they're blocking roads a day after an opposition coalition rejected a plan by regional mediators the west african bloc echo us recommend the president to form a unity government with the opposition but the june 5 movement once catered to step down the poor handling of the economy and lack of security because art is covering

developments from dakar that's in neighboring senegal he says the demonstrations have 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 connects the north and the south of the city of burma co 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 in french. a day where protesters are trying to turn capitals and cities into a ghost town blocking major arteries and that's because they reject the eco os recommendations and made because it falls short of their demand the demand is that it.

resigns or that he's stripped of his powers and also that the national assembly would be dissolved they say that the elections that happened during the current virus outbreak of the parliamentary election where there was a historic low turnout just 10 percent of the electorate coming out in vote well that is not a legitimate election so they want a revote on that now it seems that the echo is saying that dialogue will continue despite this mission that described by the m 5 movement as a failure that they will continue to have some sort of discussion. police in zimbabwe have raided the house of a prominent journalist hope you know no live streaming the moment security forces entered his room on facebook the investigative journalist has been reporting on corruption and anti-government protests in the country opposition leader jacob and government is also in police custody he's been involved in planning demonstrations . pakistan has resumed its campaign against polio the program was suspended for

plane travel and hotel stays are off limits until further notice. and it vies regroup on college sports says it's particularly important to make sure the schools come up with policies that don't put minority students at a disadvantage. because presidents on 2 and showed it reopening schools don't exacerbate the problem with that this is the fortunate representation in fact that 19 and if there is a real cost in delaying the football season by some estimates the $25.00 most profitable college football programs earn $2500000000.00 a year and after expenses they still have $1400000000.00 in the bank college sports overall generate nearly 11 trillion dollars money which the schools rely money from the football program often goes into other aspects of the university apart from sports so it's understandably not
