disagreeing over extending benefits for those left jobless by the pandemic. so the race to find a coronavirus vaccine just picked up pace with russia saying it will begin vaccinations as early as october but some countries are already raising questions about the safety of vaccines that are rolled out too quickly russia's health minister hasn't yet given any details about the vaccine and it's not clear if the treatment produces an immune response meanwhile in germany the government is coming under increasing pressure as covert 1000 restrictions so far as managed to keep infections down but is now seeing a rise in cases the country's been easing its lockdown its social distancing rules are still in place and after what's being called an explosive spread in the region of okinawa in japan a state of emergency has been declared there tokyo's governor has warned she may follow suit and the city has seen

a record number of daily infections for the 3rd straight day. well the dairy gatherer as a viral or just an lecturer at lancaster university in the u.k. he says the rush to produce a cave in 1900 could mean that in fact the result is still far from subtle paxson to take a long time to develop and if you go back to the last pandemic that made the news in the big we're true which was either via spiking 2016 and we still don't have a surprise that's ready for what we used to the some some of the early promising results and in complications of rules should be saying that if i assist which is your vital storms are a difficult subject to develop vaccines against and we have a problems with other flu viruses flu virus vaccines and passed with corona virus accedes we've never tried to develop a vaccine to immunise humans against coronaviruses that are some and move axioms that have been developed vaccines against humans and for criminals is this this is

the 1st one so this presents a lot of problems and under normal circumstances it bt several years for this to get regulatory approval but because of the international purchases well what's of these processes which are normally run sequentially and over are not running in panel oh so francis we've heard that and governments are already placing orders for 4 or 4 vaccines and on the off chance that one of them will pass regulatory approval and then you know immediately be able to begin production on a large scale that became is in berlin and has more on the protests against covert 19 measures that. one of the things that ministerial circles are really worried about not just here in berlin at a federal level but right across the country and all the states that make up this federal republic are really worried about the 2nd wave of corona which they're trying to stop ironically some of the protesters who have come to the center of

early into the brandenburg gate to the one today in london one of the perhaps the most iconic street in berlin perhaps in germany to saying that they are the 2nd wave of corona they are the people who are representing that unspoken majority who don't like these these measures about corona but the point is generally speaking most people have been understanding of the need to have these precautions social distancing and that sort of thing and one final thought also so many of the measures that were brought in at the start of the pandemic which were perceived as being really long gone generally speaking you don't have to wear masks in many places right now so when you see the people on the streets demonstrating against coronavirus precautions many people wonder what exactly are they demonstrating against. let's hear now from laura bird molly who reports on the increase in cases in japan. is a traditional japanese art form hundreds of years old it's the 1st time it's ever

been performed like this. the number of the film is limited. chess. and stick to social distancing rules on stage. take years kabuki theater has opened for the 1st time in 5 months with strict guidelines as the capsule reported a record rising coronavirus cases for the 3rd consecutive day as tokyo's governor considered ordering a new state of emergency the theater is at risk of closing what's. the source if there were any requests from. the japanese or tokyo government we need to respond appropriately and think of a way to adapt the performance depending on the situation this may unfortunately include having to stop partway through the run the so the island of okinawa has declared a covert 19 state of emergency some japanese suspect u.s. personnel based on the island of importing the disease there is concern that

perhaps the reason why it's hitting that island particularly strongly is because u.s. forces particularly u.s. marines have been able to come in and out of japan without going through immigration controls until very recently without any covert 19 tests under the status of forces agreement a record 71 daily infections were reported in okinawa on friday and hospitals at being overwhelmed the majority of cases a u.s. troops. in order for us to put every effort into combat in the coronavirus okinawa will issue a state of emergency to the commander of u.s. forces says it has nothing to do with that basis there has been absolutely no connection and has been proven to show that there has been any spread from there a coster's on the basis of the local community there are many elements that make japan vulnerable to the virus the government launched

a travel campaign last week to revive the tourism industry that prompted the world health organization to call the campaign ill timed with fears the government was choosing business over health. 19 is also the disease the primarily kills elderly people to pound the world's oldest population. in tokyo the kabuki theater still for doing what they can to ensure safety. with an elaborate costumes the make up as well as a pop base a warm hearted drama many see the don'ts of as a chance to forget at least for a while about the boring. outside nor about the money. told us in the united states to decide whether to extend financial assistance to people who lost their jobs because of covert 19 have ended with no deal millions have been getting $600.00 a week but those payments who spot on friday all to politicians failed to reach

a deal and let's get an update from rose jordan who's in northern virginia so rose looks like a. well the efforts haven't worked out but what we heard from both the speaker of the house nancy pelosi and the u.s. treasury secretary steve maneuver is that the talks were productive is there a deal no there is no deal they met for about 2 and a half hours on saturday morning at the u.s. capitol in nancy pelosi office they did both acknowledge that there is some agreement on some issues but they're still far apart so what happens next is that staffers from the white house and from congress will be meeting on sunday to continue these negotiations and then according to one of the speaker of the house there will be another meeting between her this senate minority leader chuck schumer

the treasury secretary mr minutiae and the chief of staff mark meadows to continue these negotiations. so what's the general sense from the experts economists about how this can be resolved because it's a lot of money going up. well it is a lot of money and the republicans want to spend about $1.00 trillion dollars on this latest effort to what try to keep the u.s. economy going the democrats want to spend 3 trillion dollars economists are saying that the more money that you can throw at this particular situation the better because it's important that people be able to buy food to pay their rent or their mortgage to pay for their health care expenses to do all the basic things of living if some 30000000 people aren't able to go back to work because they've either been furloughed or because their companies have gone out of business they don't have

that money to spend they consumer spending in the united states economy makes up 70 percent that's a lot of money and so what economists across the political spectrum are suggesting that this is $1.00 of those times where running up federal deficits actually makes sense because it would keep the u.s. economy from collapsing completely orosius farmers in the rose jordan their reporting from movements in a place in hong kong are demanding the arrest of 6 pro-democracy activists living in exile include former british consulate worker simon chang he says he was tortured by chinese agents to give information about anti-government protests also on the wanted list as prominent opposition figure nathan law is thought to be the 1st time police abuse the new national security law to talk about 1st outside the territory where nearly a i spoke tonight in law and i asked him for his reaction to demands for his arrest by the chinese government. why stephanie outrageous even though i had preparation

a gross violation of my rights to my speech. never done anything like in concrete to really push so i happen to think i. was going to have a expressed support for the british government. well of course. the british government and also the opposition policy that being were really focused on konishi and yet and i think they're very concerned by the thing that is a terrible mistake by the couple went wrong call. anetta lola still ahead here on al-jazeera president donald trump threatens to ban a popular video sharing app following security concerns a rich chinese parent company with an alibi right lebanon is struggling to keep its children from going hungry.

now protesters back out on the streets of israel demanding that the prime minister benjamin netanyahu resign i think the live pictures we're looking at now demonstrations have been held for the past 2 weeks have been government's handling of the crane of arson operate they've been further fueled by a corruption case against netanyahu hard for said his life for us and western islam has an update to harry had just been judged by these pictures and numbers a substantial what's happening. that's right yes thousands on the streets again here in west jerusalem not far from the residence of prime minister benjamin netanyahu just down the street behind me and as you say this is now 3 weeks of really large protests with we're meant to behind them these are seen as the largest scenes of civil unrest that we've seen in israel for nearly a decade and as you say it's a mixture of motivations and groups some of the protesting against it you know for

years old is corruption cases he is currently on trial that trials you just start in earnest at the beginning of next year with witnesses being called 3 times a week but they. been joined and the movement has been buttressed by the fact that israel is laboring under the 2nd wave of coronavirus the economic impact and fallout of that is being seen as not being properly assuaged by government policy they are trying to do that but there are people that i've been speaking to tonight even saying things like you know the very people being asleep and they're waking up against this prime minister that the coronavirus has been a slap in the face for the country and that is what is providing these protests with their momentum as finesse and you know he says that this is leftist this is an occasion so on the streets they've been calling for the police to to ensure that this doesn't get out of hand indeed there's been a recording of his justice minister apparently trying to convince police to take

a harder line already we have seen some clashes in previous protests with water cannon to be used and the like so this is moving gaining momentum to think what kind of threat is it to netanyahu and i see that they have been protests elsewhere in the world. indeed i mean the movement is at least sustaining momentum if not gaining it and i think it is the fact that the country has been experiencing so much pain in this 2nd wave of corona and a lot of the blame is being attached to the way the government in general and netanyahu in particular has handled it as for the mechanism by which it might translate into pressure against him which could force him from office well one way of looking at it could be that that he starts to lose support within his likud party but he is outwitted all of his potential internally as well as external opponents over so many years that it is

a pretty big bet to place the he would allow that to happen however there had also been talk recently or least in the last few weeks about a potential. exploding of his rather fractious kolisch. with his former rival benny gantz and going to a 4th round of elections well it is numbers continue to be damaged by this protest and the effect they've been having and his group of ours policy has been having on his popularity in the polls or not makes that look less likely so it could be that he has to avert elections in the short term and then we wait to see whether the transition deal where he hands over power to benny gantz next year actually happens ari thanks for that harry false reporting from west recently thank you. we're getting reports that chinese firm by advance has agreed to divest the u.s. operations of its social media platform to talk completely off the president all trying to threaten to use his presidential powers to ban the out he is against an american takeover of the company amid reports that microsoft is in talks to buy it

being treated fairly he says it's receiving more scrutiny because of its chinese origins and insists it is not the enemy. talks estimated to have 800000000 active users worldwide a 10th of them in the u.s. experts say banning it would be challenging i think it's very unclear what a ban would look like and what it would mean you know it's very hard to ban something that's popular among the use it's just you know if your parents tell you not to do something it makes you want to do it more in june a video that went viral on tech talk was seen as one of the reasons behind the poor attendance at trump's campaign rally in tulsa oklahoma forcing a wildly popular app off the smartphones of millions of americans could prove to be an unpopular move ahead of trump's week election. and they sue out to 0 prosecutors in the u.s. and britain have charged 3 young men with hacking twitter they're accused of taking over the accounts of several high profile people including the former u.s.
