those living today. they are guarding gaza's past in a box. only seen in black and white. collected memories starts august 14th on d. w. . on sunday she asked voters in bella ruse to make her their president and to end the rule of the man nicknamed europe's last dictator 24 hours later. scalia said the vote had been rigged and she promised to prove it but her plans and her location they suddenly changed tonight the woman who wanted to win the election to save her country she's now a woman on the run trying to save her own life her husband's life and the lines of her children i'm bringing off in berlin this is the day.

i made a very difficult decision for myself she and it was the thanks for around 77 hours many months announced and many will hate me she's in with you in your she safe united family the liberal file lines the brutal violence is unacceptable we want to see new and different plan to reduce. the sleeper the most enemies friend walking on the road when the police stopped him and told him to come with them and. also coming up tonight the world is waiting for a vaccine against the new coronavirus today russia said it already has one it has not been tried and tested but the russian president says it worked on his daughter . i know this very well because one of my own daughters was given a does have a vaccine in this sense she took part in the experiment after the 1st vaccination

she had a temperature of 38 degree celsius but then it subsided she feels good. and to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the woman who ran for president who was now running for her life on sunday flood lunna of sky and was seen as the main challenger in the presidential election in bella ruse she was an english teacher turned political candidate trying to finish what her husband had started now he had been the front runner the man seen as the one who could end president look at those 26 years in power but lucas think of an ally of russian president putin and known as europe's last dictator allegedly had the hand of scalia's husband arrested which disqualified him from running so mrs scalia took her husband's place and after sunday's vote the state election

committee declared the incumbent the winner with 80 percent of the vote protests erupted in minsk one person was killed scalia said the vote had been rigged and she valved to prove it but then she disappeared turning up today in lithuania tweeting that she had fled della reese to save her life and the lives of her family we have more now in this report. proud of the president on sunday in minsk for the election but. by monday she was gone her whereabouts unknown had taim unable to reach her. now svetlana taken off scalia has reappeared with the sunday message online. just a companion. my you know what this campaign really toughened me and empowered me muse that i could withstand anything. but perhaps i'm

still the weak woman that i was in the beginning but was initially. the opposition candidate has fled to neighboring lithuania as confirmed by the country's foreign minister taken office chaos says she was not forced out of her country and the government also insisted that she left on her own accord. i made a very difficult decision for myself and i've made it absolutely independently the it's in the ne. jame mood many will understand me those who did many will denounce me and many will hate me. is that god forbid anyone should face the choice that i faced because i was here to prepare a departure came off the sheriff used to concede defeat in sunday's vote election officials said authoritarian president alexander lukashenko won his 6th term in office with a landslide 80 percent of the verdict took another scale one only 10 percent but

has dismissed the results but full fleeing she submitted a formal demand for a recount. thousands of belarusians have also rejected the results taking to the streets for a 2nd night of protests demonstrators in minsk were met by security forces who deployed stun grenades rubber bullets and tear gas injuring dozens. well there has been condemnation of how the virgin bella ruse was conducted today the european union took its criticism a step further and suggested it may slap sanctions on bella ruse yet again a statement from the european council reads the elections were neither free nor fair the people of belarus deserve better since the 2015 release of political prisoners the relationship between the e.u. and bella ruse had improved but without progress on human rights and the rule of law the e.u. belarus relationship can only get worse over

more tonight i'm joined by failing school of art 6 with the center for east european and international studies felix it's good to have you on the day i want to start by watching this video which was posted today by. sky you take a look for someone who does the risk of getting their hours off of arms or most of them lots of chatter about purpose and that that would pull our voices tell sort. of that these 2 or 3 have to show some class and that the intense feeling in normal since there is a lot of us. russian leaders are cornered in culture on. the question by us in a state that's getting more guns in proportion to student protests versions have persisted he said that he said he's. there she says don't risk your lives don't resist the police what do you make of this video the lives.

so this video i think is a method that she was all blush to send to the russian people telling their countrymen the regime she really needed to leave the country because she's become a frantic and take heat or resisting look at schenkel and she stayed in the country and the imprisoned. discover a monster that could have led to even more protests forcing her own of the country by offering her of to keep our children safe there was a way for the regime to deal but to try and deal with this moment of extreme insecurity and accept that you should create is art a show where she made reference to the threat to her family that decision was taken . on taking commentary do you believe her when she says that it was her decision to leave bella rules. no i think that it's very possible as i said because the

authorities needed her to leave and then members of her team also clearly said that she faced on pressure just 3 hours on her in the election commission with security representatives. and then give us an idea of how intense the pressure must have been on her for that and effective to moving her out of the country in the hope for the regime to there by the table where none of the sales of the mobilization that we see at the moment. the reasons that have a history of opponents of. having to flee the country. you. know you to people don't have to flee the country with them present before hand so that's what we've seen in the past. by a bunch of other places and really put behind bars. so to my knowledge there's never been a case if media types as important as. it was like the country they are the cases of journalists or bloggers left the country the most prominent one is the young

person behind the telegram turtlenecks was 23 years old and in the country $28.00 in running that turn of gentlefolk also that is turned out to be the major the actor for the for the exchange of information at the moment about what is happening and also a lot of the reporting relies on the information that can get through an attorney general and he has been forced to leave because of this political activism that you don't have comparable obviously. to the pressure that we don't see a lot of time here at the moment feelings you have researched extensively young people being political actors and agents of change political change talk to me about what you see happening in. these protests. so over the last couple of weeks. remarkable shift young people couldn't be here so this early is that we've been hearing at this end of this european international studies

usually show that around 2 to 3 percent of young people have joined political protest that number is pretty low and people usually say that they're too afraid of joining protests there are concerns about their personal health as you can see now that are completely vanished. young people who are really only involved in the opposition complain and then the older people who joins here by north korea has. seen in the run up to the elections that tens of thousands of people of all age eventually turned out and after the election here it will young people who went 1st to the street and they were also enjoyed by people of different age and that's quite important that the protests don't stay confined to young people themselves but growing young that age they come and what we see now is that likely workers are going on strike that other people are out on the street so you see a very important diversification of who is on the street and the street 8 from that we see really very young people it's probably

a reason for concern for the regime because that means no parents i think they're very frustrated at regime if 1516 year old gets here is injured in face the police violence that we've seen that will upset her the relationship between state and society so hitting brutally on young people this is really dangerous what do you see if you could change if he continues with this crackdown that we see more people dying in protest he has always been able to rely on support from the kremlin can you see me rushing to support. if the situation becomes bloodier deadlier. it's not excluded i don't think it's the most likely scenario in all honesty i mean look i think we're encouraging rather cool relationships for the last few years and there in my grandmother 2100 and cuttin to create the union stage of the russian transition program in 2024 and there was no

question it was very distance and i think we're now finds himself in a 3 front war 'd a faces the waste of human rights but also russia on on various issues and his own societies i think cooking is not going to rush into better or worse and at the moment the critic in quiet saying elite what is happening in burrows because the weak look actually goes certainly favorable to the kremlin because it knows how to deal with him meeting with him for not only and so they now want to get a place in the kremlin is also a concern about any of the opposition candidates emerging its future presidents will be so not necessarily people hostile because russia's her east is heavily mobilized and they have been links of solidarity with protesters and others in the far east in general so if that continues and motivation and to russia its army comes right to domestic stability in russia then the kremlin might change its

considerations but not for the time being let me ask you before we run out of time so it. is in lithuania now her husband remains in prison in bellary snow if she wants to see her husband again a lot she will not do anything further to challenge do you agree with that step. i think that's very likely given her family or the importance of i would not expect her personal to be more involved in the country but her team is taking over the members of her of the training. that's there with her taking a bow that is like a craze the momentum and also there is no. right to mobilize force an election is over every person is violence but it. feel it's with the center for east european and international studies students we appreciate

your time and your insights tonight thank you. know who commute used this morning for the 1st time in the world as far as i know a vaccine against the new corona virus which registered we could only use in insurance. and it is quite effective if sustainable immunity i know this very well because one of my own daughters was given a dose of the vaccine. genes deal in this sense she took part in the experiment with. the spirit means you. after the 1st injection after the 1st vaccination she had a temperature of $38.00 degrees celsius the next day a little over $37.00 and that's it after the 2nd injection the 2nd vaccination temperature also rose a little but then it subsided she feels. well there you heard it today russia became the 1st country to register a vaccine against the corona virus a vaccine that has not been tried

a vaccine that has not been tested outside of russia a vaccine that russian president putin says is so effective even his daughter has received an injection well worldwide the number of people infected with the coronavirus has now reached 20000000 it comes as researchers around the world are moving at unprecedented speeds to develop a vaccine scientists say the early is that a vaccine could be ready would be early 2021 after all trials are completed and the vaccine is determined to be safe and effective those rules apply everywhere except apparently in russia. president putin with a potentially world changing and now instrument approval of the 1st corona virus vaccine you say is alleged to inaudible did i know that it is effective it provides stable immunity and has gone through the necessary tests but i use. the new vaccine was developed here at moscow's gamma layer institute you know

palatial is could begin in october but it is only been tested on a few volunteers for the studies will be carried out alongside the production of a new vaccine research it because the sheriff says this is irresponsible to. those with just dealing with a hit or created something completely new these vaccines on to bailable yet we don't know how it will behave and what will happen when someone is infected with the virus we also don't know how long. it's going to come forward to in the future . despite many warnings 13000000 doses of the facts seen will be produced in russia this year another 170000000 are expected to be produced by foreign firms in the future. well my next guest tonight says that russia and china have violated medical ethics in their rush to develop a coronavirus vaccine lords gostin is professor of global health law at georgetown university and director of the w.h.o.

center on public health and human rights she joins me tonight from washington d c professor gasman it's good to have you on the day if you were offered this russian vaccine would you take it. i absolutely would not take it and i would recommend anyone in russia or other places in the world where the russian they try to export this vaccine to take it we have ethical standards and scientific standards for vaccines for a good reason because if we don't if we don't let science take its course we could end up with something that is highly dangerous and in my view that in my opinion is taking a reckless step that could be a gamble for the safety and health of the russian people what do you make of. saying that his daughter has been given the vaccine and that it works. and why do

you see exactly what are you saying that russia has acted unethically. well. first of all having his daughter be experimented with investigation of that scene. is is just you know it made me shudder you know as a parent or grandparent to think that i would expose my child to. an unproven in that scene that could have severe. dangerous effects. is the higher very sponsibility russia has acted against all international ethical and legal standards. first of all you know even in the early trials russia was experimenting with this on russian soldiers who have questionable ability to say no and to give informed consent

a way beyond that you know we already have 8 trials globally including in china europe and the united states there are incredibly and say sorry trials these are war at scale population trials against a placebo. intil something a shown to be safe and effective in these large scale trials. no regulatory agency worth his salt would approve it. because it could make more dangers it could be less effective if you cause deaths. and so it's the height of an ethical international standards to rush to a vaccine this is not you know we don't want to be the 1st to get a vaccine we want to be the best that scene we can get what can anyone prevent russia from selling this vaccine on the global market i mean i and i know that the

f.d.a. could prevent it from being sold in the u.s. but what about the rest of the world. well you know if any country has a as a good government and has a reliable regulatory agency like the european medicines agency or the us. administration they would absolutely not allow that drug on to the market and allow it to be distributed of sold in their country that would be. the right thing to do the world health organization has strongly urged russia to to be slow to follow international scientific principles but even the w.h.o. has not been able to independently verify this these data the institute has not shared its trial data with anyone it's not been published in any peer reviewed

journal i'm just a couple of weeks ago and there were promising phase 2 trials for an oxford and who had an vaccine which showed to the scientific community here my data and me said they look good there's been no transparency at russian no accountability and to compare this to kind of the race to the moon or a sputnik moment. to present a vaccine analogous to this new corona virus vaccine has been developed was it took about 4 years and we have been told yes pectin vaccine early next year do you do you think that will happen. he said you there are now is that mentioned 8 vaccines globally that are in phase 3 clinical trials. they've all been shown to be effective in early phase one in phase 2 trials we had

a lot of optimism about that x. seen i think it's possible that by the 1st or 2nd quarter of 2021 we will see one or more vaccines on the market that does not mean that the vaccines are going to be a magic bullet i really do not believe that's the case but i think that they can confer partial immunity and we'll let you know coverts going to be here through our all of our lifetimes in every country but we're going to learn to manage and live with it partly it'll be a vaccine that will be at least partially effective perhaps like of the the flu vaccine. it will partly be because we'll have better treatments and it will up partly be because people have been infected and have some immune remembrance of this virus but it's not going away anytime soon well you know we've surpassed

the 20000000 cases mark worldwide and the united states in every means the epicenter of the of the pandemic do you understand why the u.s. cannot get this virus under control. sure done everything wrong. and it starts with a leadership in the white house. you know if you were if you were to ask me what is the one thing that countries have who succeeded what have they done that the united states hasn't done and that i would say the instance of that is follow science have trust in public health agencies and have. a consistent message that you need to wear masks and socially distance. the u.s. hasn't done that the president has personally undermined the c.d.c.

and other public health agencies and scientists in his own administration and the public are confused they're not following scientific advice to to wear masks to to be sure sickly distant to have personal hygiene or testing the roll out was really very poor and we simply just let it get out of control while we deflected blame to china or to the world health organization which i think it's unconscionable to support a great organization like the w.h.o. in the middle of the geopolitical that's just intolerable i'm going to talk one minute vaz i want to ask you this really stood to develop a vaccine do you think we have so many people involved racing to be the 1st because they see the vaccine is being a cash cow once they are. you know i think it's partly

a cash cow partly it's legitimate because we're undergoing a terrible health crisis but a lot of it has to do which kind of strongman leaders thumping their chest. pluton president trump. in china until that worries me the idea of a sputnik shy from russia or operation warp speed from the united states that's not the way science operates ok professor lawrence gostin director of the devaluation center on public health and human rights. and we appreciate your time and your insights tonight valuable information we appreciate it thank you thanks for your information to. well the day is almost done the conversation continues online to find us on twitter either at w news you can follow me at brant goff t.v. at remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day see you
