8:01 am
politicians divided over a new kind of a 1980 bill there as the number of cases in the country edges closer to 4000000 plus. i'm going for you reporting from my lead which needs to be the largest exporter of rights in the world we'll tell you why the numbers are continuing to pour. now after 4 days and nights of marathon of an acrimonious talks e.u. leaders have clinched a deal on a multi $1000000000.00 coronavirus rescue fund the recovery package will provide almost $860000000000.00 in grants and loans to counter the effects of the recession they had been major divisions over how much of the package should be loans and how much would take the form of grants that don't need to be repaid leaders have labeled the deal historic. we thought we spent 4 long days and nights of
8:02 am
negotiation more than 90 hours but it was worth it this agreement is a signal that europe is able to act after all people often accused europe of being too little too late for us here we're demonstrating that the opposite is the case at the end of april the european union gave us the mandate of designing a recovery package and today only 2 months later next generation europe is up and running and it has the agreement of the european council and in the history of the european union that is an absolute record for a new budgetary instrument bason has been watching all of this for us from amsterdam step after more than 90 hours of negotiation as bonds land was saying that we now finally have a deal there are a number of fests in this package can you talk us through what's been a great. exactly it was a dramatic summit and it was the longest in the last 20 years and finally they came
8:03 am
up with this quite complicated compromise before the summit started there was a huge part of grants 500000000000 euros of grants well that was something that the specially the northern smaller countries didn't agree to didn't want to agree to sort of compromise is now that it's nearly half of the money is going to be grants and half will be loans and also to these grants that are going to be strict conditions that's also something that the frugal for the so-called frugal for the countries in the north the nat'l and sweden denmark and austria really insisted on they didn't want to give what they set free money so there are conditions on economic reforms but even also some political reforms and there's also this called so-called emergency brake so if a country it's not doing these economic reforms then another country can insist that the money is not going to be dispersed so this is a break and this is these are all the conditions that they have put in place and
8:04 am
then there's this other very complicated and difficult issue to had been talking about until deep in the night last night and this is the rule of law it was a condition that countries should have a rule of law before they get the money so hungry and poland specially under criticism and they really didn't want to accept this but at the end there's also a compromise on this issue so at the end all the $27.00 member states signed this agreement a huge victory for the president of the european council shall michel because he had the future of the e.u. in his hands indeed and step this was the 1st time that you leaders have met in person since the start of the current virus pandemic and this was initially be 2 days long instead it was more than double that now despite everyone talking about unity this morning we did see rather a lot of drama and deep division over the last 4 days where does all of that leave the european project now. well there was drama for
8:05 am
sure there was this moment when the french president in final mccraw was already starting his plane and then pretending to leave and there was a lot of fist banging on the table the dutch prime minister mark kirk the was called all kinds of names mr no no stingy all these things so yes unity is of course a complicated word in this kind of atmosphere but at the end of the day all the $27.00 member states decided that they do need each other of course there's going to be does this a breach between the north and to south in the northern countries still have the feeling that they don't want to pay too much taxpayers in these countries feel that this is not spending money well enough and they have a bad experience they say in the last economic crisis in 2008 when a lot of so-called free money was given and a lot of money was lost so that's why they they really fought to the bitter end to have what they said a much better deal for everyone in europe so the countries in the can also stand on
8:06 am
their own feet and as i said it's historic it's important for the european union to show that they're all together because during this whole covert $1000.00 crisis they were all a part everyone every single country had its own policy and now slowly but surely they realized this is a very important bloc and not only did the southern countries need the northern countries but the other way around as well of course steadfast and then across all those developments for us from amsterdam thank you very much step all moving on to some other news now and there's been a breakthrough in the race to develop a 1000 vaccine the lancet medical journal has published promising results from scientists oxford university who are already conducting alley human testing and scientists say it's safe for humans and also triggered the critical immune response which could stop the virus in its tracks and while the findings are encouraging logic trials still need to be done brennan has more from oxford. phase one really
8:07 am
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 how the vaccine in older people more disease than the. that is so that's the subject of work and the 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 1000 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.
8:08 am
cells which attack the infected cells t. cell response picked just 14 days after volunteers were injected antibody response speak 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
8:09 am
sitting in front of the t.v. and screaming at the mortality rates every day or screaming at politicians or getting annoyed on social media right i really felt very strongly. that i wanted to do something i just wanted to be a part of the answer i don't think there's going to be one and that 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 on the world health organization has a welcome to that breakthrough but says than 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

a journalist who has been following the discussions and he joins us now from milan thank you for being with us tancredi there were a number of points of contention here primarily around how to distribute money but also linking funding to the rule of law and decisions of the e.u. need to be unanimous so let me ask then in your opinion did everyone get what they wanted. in the end you can say yes obviously we know that the biggest counties as italy as a spain there wanted. a bigger slice to be for grants and not for long because for there are much you can oh yeah sure the head of states or counties and the public opinion that any way their example of what happened in the past to please is always up there at the same time a few goths counties the so-called through gots counties. a lot but also they are

look about who led the negotiations not only obviously. utopia the president of european commission but the specially the the germany and found leadership and got american and them on one of the can and we know that. american on the boat for political life in the max year all saw but these probably the 1st time mom won a mark on the. shore himself as the one that. they could really form america as the leadership of law look for the future for european union tancredi as we've been saying there needs to be unanimous agreement at the e.u. amongst leaders and obviously a huge amount of compromise needed to be had here particularly between the countries like italy in spain france germany who are pushing for more grants and then the frugal countries i'm curious italy is one of the countries pushing for
8:28 am

8:29 am
again you have to stock of the that's fine the middle way between all of these all these all these parts we still don't know the details but for example we. will sit on the law and in the press conference saying there from our work from a voice that it was that we got the ball or that one of the some boys is to be cut in the spending and the house voice was kept indoors spending so we have to see in details how the budget these we mean that exactly where the money will go but again finding a balance between. law and any money if you got bit more the grants if it's good show or finding a middle way then trying to hold the e.u. together while they're at it 10 credit mary there speaking to us from milan thanks for being with us on out of there michael. protest has returned to the streets of
