a live from doha also coming up. more protests expected in mali calling for the resignation of the president as international mediators heads to the west african nation. and china warns the u.k. over interference in hong kong as britain scraps an extradition treaty with its former colony. european union leaders have struck a historic multi-billion dollar coronavirus rescue deal after nearly 5 days of intense negotiations it's worth nearly $860000000000.00 it's going to help member countries deal with the effects of recession as a result of the pandemic leaders have been divided over several issues. more than half the package is being offered as grants and the rest in loans austria and the linz sweden and denmark the so-called frugal 4 opposed to
10:02 am
a bigger ground fund the deal will need to be approved by the parliaments of member states which could prove contentious caught. in week we spent 4 long days and nights of 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 whereas here we're demonstrating not 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 a lot of correspondence to vasa is joining us live from saddam it sounds like an enormous deal but at the same time there were an awful lot of compromises made in order to get to this point wonder. it is an
10:03 am
unprecedented deal but of course it's also unpresidential fine here in europe lots of countries have been severely affected by the covert 19 crisis and at the end after those 4 long days there was this compromise rolling out of the meeting at 5 o'clock in brussels in the morning a compromise was reached because of the frugal for the so-called frugal for 4 countries than that of sweden denmark and austria really didn't want to give so much money in grants they didn't want to give away free money as they call it so much bigger share of this money is now dispersed as loans but also under strict conditions that was also one of the requirements to reach this deal of conditions that countries especially in the south of europe perform some economic reforms to make sure that money is well spent there's also this so-called emergency break that
10:04 am
an individual country if they have a feeling that countries are not spending money well that they can put the brake on and the money won't be disbursed anymore so after all these conditions were set all the 27 countries have now signed this historic deal which was very important to show that the european union has a future and that unity is still on the table the timing is going to be critical critical in this isn't it because if i understand as i mentioned before the deal still has to be ratified by the member. states but also there is a concern isn't there that if this drags on it's not really going to affect or help the people on the streets who have been directly affected by the pandemic. exactly and that's why there was such a rush and such a urgency to reach this deal especially fronts and germany really pushed for it to
10:05 am
be signed now because of course what's the point of this bursting so much money if the countries and the people in the countries already suffering and the economic crisis already has been a fact they wanted to prevent the recession from going any deeper and that's why it was important to sign the deal now and of course the pandemic is not even over and europe is already facing a possible 2nd wave in lots of countries the infections are already going up so the world's that's not leave this urgency but as you say in many countries in the parliaments there will still be a tough battle to be far especially also here in the netherlands because the prime minister mark kirk had promised the he didn't want to agree with any grounds at all of that all the money should be loaned well now he has to come back here travel back to the hague and explain that he had to agree with a large chunk of grants as well so and that will be the same and out of conferees
10:06 am
especially in the north they will have to explain explain especially to right wing parties here who are very skeptical that they have to agree and that all the 27 countries have to help each other and that's the main key here of course and service and talking to us live from thanks very much a good. journalist who's followed the discussions and he said it was hard fought but finally everybody got what they wanted. the biggest counties as italy as spain wanted. a bigger slice to be for grants and not for long because for our march you can only assure the head of states of those counties and the public opinion and the way the example of what happened in the past to greece is always up there at the same time the few goths counties the so-called through gulf counties. a lot of the all 3 are the
10:07 am
scandinavian then months with them. not only they wanted to be there for sure the bout of the things would be balanced but also let's remind that there was a huge hole to plug for the. exit of u.k.'s all. these part of money was of 82 b. field compared to the past but the think time this little count please considering let's remind the system of european union not that but i do that all the ads of states should agree on on such measures while the few got all sorts sold for the full steinman even that are political in paul vance they never had before sold the backbone as being there but he did why finally

10:18 am
which could stop the virus the findings are encouraging but larger trials still need to be done paul brennan has more from oxford. phase one really could 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 park 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 a how the vaccine in older people more 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
10:19 am
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 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 already underway in the u.k. south africa brazil are looking at issues such as optimal dosage and exactly how much protection vaccinated people have when exposed to the actual corona virus
10:20 am
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 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 on sarah a day i think there's going to be one and that 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 u.s. president donald trump says he'll send federal agents to more cities to control ongoing protests against police brutality on monday he criticized cities run by what he called liberal democrats the president sent officers to the city of
