from the security forces who are making sure that protesters are not able to storm any public buildings it is the aid agencies who have filled the void they are distributing water they are distributing food and even medicine to more and more people who are in need that he said people want to count ability has there been any progress made into the investigation into this explosion. well the government has handed the file to the judiciary arrests have been made the head of the porch the head of the customs department but people will tell you how are we expecting justice to be served when judges are appointed by the same politicians we want to be held to account an independent judiciary has been one of the demands of a protest movement ever since october they say that politicians should not be the ones appointing judges because judges are loyal to politicians and not to state the

president himself acknowledged that he was aware that there was highly explosive material stored at one of the warehouses at beirut ports security officials have been saying that they've warned officials time and time again about the presence of this ammonium nitrate to thousands of tons of ammonium nitrate the president saying the port is not my responsibility i raised the issue with the higher defense council they should have taken action so politicians really blaming each other but the bottom line is people in the street have little faith in those in power they believe that there's going to be some cover up they're demanding an international investigation but those in power have made it clear time and time again an international investigation an independent investigation is you know that there dismissing this all together thank you there are there live from beirut. u.n. humanitarian agencies have met in geneva to outline relief if it's being coordinated to meet lebanon's most critical needs food water and sanitation with top of the

list. unicef is delivering water to port workers and 1st responders and trucking water to the 3 lebanese red cross kiosks that are providing assistance to victims our partners have distributed water hygiene supplies including sanitary pads infection protection materials and baby kits to families in temporary shelters the fear that this entire community will slip even further in our chip and this is what i like some of my other colleagues including unicef just said it is very important to provide immediate support and in our case it's cash assistance to palestine refugees who have almost lost all their means of a flood we heard. russia has become the 1st country in the world to approve the widespread use of a coronavirus facts and a comes after only 2 months of human trials and there are concerns moscow may be putting national pride before science and faith the telly angela reports. it's

a race everyone wants to win but rushing it could prove fatal president putin says russia has approved a vaccine against covert 19 despite not completing crucial phase 3 clinical trials next week i'm using the sewer today in the morning as the 1st vaccine against the new corona virus infection was registered but although i know it works they effectively form stable immunity and iris peat it has gone through all the necessary checks dubbed sputnik 5 after the 1st satellite in space the vaccine has only been tested on 138 people one of them putin's daughter based on a proven vaccine against adding a virus the common cold this vaccine allegedly gives immunity against $1000.00 for 2 years but the results of that limited trials have yet to be made public. coronavirus has ripped through russia it has the 4th highest number of cases in the

world the health ministry says doctors and teachers will receive the 1st doses before a mass vaccination program starts in january 20 countries have rushed to preorder it read 1000000000 doses according to moscow but the world health organization says the vaccine has not got best on top of approval yet we are in a close contact with the russian how her car keys discussions are going to respect possible government truck requalification of democracy yeah pre-publication of money maxine. all required. and the scientific community say the speed of development and lack of transparency is causing them concern we have no idea whether even the claims that are being made about the safety and the immune response of this virus are true or not i hope they're true you know once there is a safe and effective vaccine personally i don't care where it comes from we need to work together to get this to everybody around the world one of the things that i worry about is that you know this is really more about you know sort of geopolitics

and being able to claim victory it may put pressure on other countries to cut corners on safety and effectiveness as well and that could put us all in danger. until the w.h.o. give the vaccine the green light this is not a race russia can claim to have one child angela al-jazeera. constantino sarah sarah navarre there is the head of the bar a tree and they walk from an institute for microbiology at rutgers university he says a lot of work needs to be done to prove the russian vaccine is safe. in the absence of the demonstration that even the fact that maybe it doesn't really address the issue puts us. it's really protects people from the disease it's meant to protect the problem and in the absence of such data which can only be got a very large scale trials including the double blind placebo control groups and what kept you part there would be no indication whatsoever that this is

a product that you should be using once you go to much larger numbers the facts which may have not been apparent at the smaller groups may come up in the book what's right the complications from that cd particular groups of people and what have you whether or not people will feature people's particular medical conditions but that is ultimately what everybody's asked for so the vaccines only purpose is to protect people from aren't getting that or if they do get the disease they want you want that people hoard accident that. to help the disease in a milder form and in order to do that you need to have. a good group of subjects in a large what subjects which is the executed and the comparable group of controls the people who are getting it and then these people need to be more into it over a substantial period of time such that some of them the percentage would be that which would happen simply because the action is happening at a so we can see and then you need to do statistical analysis of both groups to see

that he group vaccinated at least based on one parameter and up parameters decided early on that the clinical trial phase 2 or 3 is approved or stands out and behaves better than the control group. has reported its 1st community transmission of the coronavirus and more than $100.00 days prime minister has ordered all. the 4 new cases were confirmed. it leave all 3 your ass to stay at home in your bubble other than for essential movements such as going to the supermarket or local recreation if you are in or clint you must work from home unless you are an essential service worker all schools in child care facilities and or conduct closed as of tomorrow morning except for the children of essential service workers and those who are who are involved will remember that it leave all 3 we allow you to x e schools and do

. comments by the prime minister warning the protesters to be careful about what they say will put them off and remembering also on friday night that 2 of the protest leaders were arrested charged with sedition before being released on bail that doesn't seem to be putting them off or are they on monday night of course again we had that very large rally on the campus of university the organizers are planning another potentially larger rally on sunday on the streets of the capital city so no signs that they're going to start to play these protests down the government i think is in a difficult situation now they need to decide whether they crack down on the protest movement which is something they've not been afraid to do in the past ending it potentially before it becomes much larger all they allow it to continue in the hope that it will eventually fizzle out the danger with that approach of course is that it becomes much larger as i mentioned as just a student protest and potentially attracts people from other 6 sins of thai society

and the discussion about the role of the monarchy that we mentioned becomes much broader and therefore it becomes much more difficult for the government and the security forces to bring it to an end. opposition supporters in mali have gathered in the capital bamako for a major anti government protest they have been demanding the resignation of president abraham boubacar k. to since june is that accused of failing to deal with insecurity and corruption on monday the constitutional court swore in 9 new judges hoping to calm political tension because joins me now live from dakar nicholas so these 9 new judges sworn in that was a bid to quell these protests thoughtlessly it hasn't worked why not. well it hasn't worked well according to the 10s of thousands of people there right now on independence square in bamako it has been worse simply because the protest movement feel like they were not consulted before these judges were sworn in they

have dismissed the. mediation effort they described the mediation effort as them simply seeing this as a electoral crisis it's not for them it's an issue of bad governance and one after the other we've seen the leaders of these movement take to the independence square to address the crowds you've got leaders of trade union movements clerics members of the opposition former member cabinets of president mubarak all of them saying one thing they want the president to go nothing else and they feel that following the echo of mediation the west african body's mediation none of their demands were met including the resignation of the prime minister he's still in place and so we saw on the the swearing in ceremony yesterday of the 9 constitutional judges as you mentioned and those judges that were nominated by the president of the national assembly who is one of the 31 contested m.p.'s and he's no other than the father in

law of the son of the president another close ally or relative to the president and that's seen as adding fuel to the fire so there's no letting of this protest movement that's really building up right now and there's even a feeling for some of them that they want to occupy those government or ministry offices just like they did on the 10th or the 11th of july where they stormed the national assembly they're angry with their leadership they feel like the leadership of mali isn't representing the people kim thanks so much for that nicolas talk there live from dhaka. the trial of sudan's former president omar bashir has been postponed indefinitely bashir was due to appear in court and consummate tuesday in connection with the 989 military coup that brought him to pa his lawyers launched an appeal which has delayed the case and they're calling for him to be released on bail to share saddam for 3 decades and was removed from power by the military last

over 100 roadblocks across the country and they having an impact on the distribution of oxygen and medicines to cope with a pandemic blockades the government says have killed at least 31 people but protesters say the government wants to blame them for political purposes. bolivia has been caught in a political crisis that has polarized the country since last year for many elections seem to be the only way to control the situation but the repeated elites have generated frustration and distrust. well than $20000.00 anti lock down protestors flatted social distancing and mask roles to march and earlier this month politicians say elements of the far right and left are trying to generate resentment of the government's health policies when i came reports. a sunny day in stuttgart and anti corona protesters are on the streets they believe their fundamental freedoms are under threat not from the virus

but from the measures in place to prevent it worsening marches like this have been occurring sporadically for some considerable time most notably in berlin at the start of the month the common link between these political extremes is the feeling that ministers are acting beyond their constitutional powers for example that was. our demand is basically going back to democracy away with these laws that have been imposed on us away with the masks that make us slaves the protesters are made up of many different groups some from the far left of society some from the far right one author says what unites this otherwise disunited group is a deep distrust of what they regard as mainstream politician. it's mainstream media and mainstream science these people are kind of. lost for normal debate because they don't believe in the scientific texts anymore and as we all know it's impossible to do like viral lodges experiments in your home

kitchen to prove it kind of so this is a very troubling situation specially in the pandemic the people who protested here on the 1st of august were trying to highlight what they consider are infringements of their personal freedoms caused by the anti corona measures and yet paradoxically one unexpected effect of their protests is that now there are some senior politicians here in berlin and around the country actively considering whether they need to reduce those basic freedoms even further to try to prevent a 2nd wave of corona. certainly in the state which has suffered the most infections and there is the authorities face an ethical dilemma. i was a man we want to protect people's freedom to express themselves but they need to respect the social distancing rules and wear masks they're promoting nonsensical messages but if the rules are broken this cannot be accepted the ministerial mantra during this pandemic has been to follow the science to trust that the experts who

advise them know best opinion polls suggest the vast majority of germans agree but some among the minority who don't are taking to the streets to show it whatever the consequences of their actions dominic kane al-jazeera. still ahead on al-jazeera in sports dallas light up the n.b.a. campus with an epic comeback ask bill action in just a moment steve. if
