treatments and. keeping you up to date with what's happening on the ground in the wood and in the land now more than ever the world needs w.-h. of making the healthy a world for you. for everything. the a. small signs of hope in the fight against the coronavirus a vaccine trial in the u.k. shows and promising results. that are there i'm the star of the attack and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up talks continue in brussels for a 4th night over the european union's coronavirus economic recovery plan. u.s.

politicians divided over a new covered 19 aid bill there as the number of cases in the country edges closer to $4000000.00 plus. i'm going home reporting from the island which used to be the largest exporter of life in the world we'll tell you why the numbers appeared to do it before. but there's been a breakthrough in the race to develop a curve a 1000 vaccine the lancet medical journal has published some promising results from scientists at oxford university who have already been conducting early human testing scientists say it's safe for humans and also triggered the critical immune response which could stop the virus in its tracks while the findings are encouraging larger trials still need to be done and has more 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 trying 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 to see how the vaccine in older people more is the disease than the. that is 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 answer after i don't think there's going to be one answer to cove it i think there's going to be a few different answers 9 in 10 vaccine projects and in failure and there is 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 well professor adrian how is part of that research group at oxford university and he explains what will happen next. the immune responses that axion 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 significant bit infection so these are really about as good as we could have hoped at this stage of that accident and during so where at the stage now looking for efficacy of the scene and that has involved recruiting almost $10000.00 equal into a circle 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 so we will get an answer on whether or not there are more cases or less cases i did at least of vaccine of it in the backseat group and in the polls 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 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 longer than 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 us well the world health organization has welcomed the breakthrough but says that any viable vaccine must be available to everyone. with political commitment of course. that's the only way you can get you know fair distribution but one of the warring parties in 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. now is your leaders are locked in their 4th night now of tense negotiations over a coronavirus rescue fund there are signs that a deal may be imminent you're watching live pictures now from that meeting in brussels now france and germany want the e.u. nations most affected to receive bailout grants but there is resistance from some members who want loans not handouts the trash about our ports. 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 coronavirus 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 worried about shared debts 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 where 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 this really. important to turn to new to work i finch and i am convinced that an agreement is possible earlier in the. summit's michel said it was time to finish what he called a mission impossible the choice he said was between a europe capable of building unity and trust or a weak europe undermined by mistrust national interests are clearly at stake but so is the e.u.'s reputation natasha butler al-jazeera paris. across the atlantic

hello again. that's remind you of our top stories here this hour oxford university has made a breakthrough in the race to develop a coronavirus vaccine early results appear to show it is safe and triggers an immune response the world health organization has welcomed progress. u.s. president on trump has met congressional leaders from his republican party to discuss another coronavirus economic relief bill that as cases continue to rise with florida california and texas all seeing a big increase in infections. and right now e.u. leaders are meeting through the night to try to break the deadlock over a massive pandemic economic recovery package their members are divided over how the

multi-billion dollar fund should be given out. while some e.u. leaders have blamed dutch prime minister mark reuss a single handedly blocking a deal for that covert 1000 recovery fund but rita has been undeterred by the accusations and reports from amsterdam. marker to describe it as a lonely fight never before has a dutch prime minister been so heavily criticized at a european summit acknowledged australian 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 czar i see myself as someone who fights for you another day or 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 marker to could be hoping his stubbornness in brussels wins him faute at home i don't negotiate the process of dutch have been called stagey 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 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 it's a fair and good point and we we one of the founders of the european union we believe strongly in the european union but if the european union does not 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 in these discussions namecalling nobody cares i think it's good that we give to certain european countries money but i understand margaret the very world that you were in strict conditions i support him but i find it troubling that we are now being seen as the hardliners was in europe 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 now u.s. president donald trump has been putting the conflict in libya on his agenda holding talks with multiple leaders on the situation there and a phone call with egypt's president sisi the white house says the 2 leaders affirmed the need for immediate deescalation in libya including through a cease fire also spoke with french president emanuel mark on a bounty escalation with the white house statement saying the situation has been exacerbated by the presence of foreign forces and arms egypt's parliament later voted to allow president c.z. to deploy troops abroad and allows a potential intervention in neighboring libya he has previously threatened to support world khalifa haftar us forces if tripoli its government and its turkish

is pushing prices down but not the thai exporters who can't compete on price even though thailand's rice farmers have had a difficult year with drought which affected production warehouses and mills like this are expected the fill up in the months ahead as exports continue to decline they'll have the product to sell but the strong thai currency makes it the most expensive rice in southeast asia exports may fall by 30 percent this year and industry leaders worry about the long term future of the sick. we are less competitive now it's you know why because our labor costs is increasing our land prices increasing and our farmers. you know it's more than 55 years old most of them. are next generation they don't want to go into farming send in more growers who've been working the fields their whole lives are also concerned they say a government subsidy in the form of a price guarantee won't be enough but walking away from farming isn't an option for
