the world health organization says corona virus is not a seasonal disease but a current that's one big wave of the pandemic is a summary we have from that representative people saw you know a lot done so that it was somehow go away and unfortunately that's not the case why you could transmission anywhere is potentially everywhere russia announces its moscow out of ours vaccination plan will start in october with a fast in line being medical well because. leaving can home provided in the u.k. claims of regular covert testing promised by the government for the sector would take place until south we get reaction. now what i think the government somebody
4:01 pm
should be proved differently are just like them sometimes to say actually they could have done better but you know just where they have got it right. delays the easing of covert restrictions citing a growth in the u.k. says a study in the country finds that most people are puzzled by the locked down world . the mystic has been incredibly using we don't know what to feel what it. is too long to leave you just a few to choose a. good evening from moscow a very warm welcome from me on the whole team here at all the t's h.q. clouds you could join us at this hour while let's get stuck in the wilds health organization is now warning the coronavirus isn't seasonal like the flu but instead is happy. as one big wave comes after the lock downs were eased needing to another
4:02 pm
spike in covert a victim's friday saw the biggest ever daily increase in corona virus cases reaching almost 300000 across the globe the w.h.o. told us now is not the time to relax the transmission is still there so the concern was that people saw you know lockdowns over that it was somehow would go away they they had this idea that it might come back later in the year but they had this seemed to be this fixed idea that now it's summer time to conti and unfortunately that's not the case what you've got transmission anywhere is potentially everywhere what we mean by one big wave is that it continues to remain but you need to bring it down you need to bring it down so that those who will get most ill and you will have that percentage of people who get most ill can get the treatment they need immediately in your hospitals are not overwhelmed and your hospitals can do the other things you need to be doing to save the lives of those people who get lots of
4:03 pm
other illnesses many countries which is the lockdowns are now calling on people to again mosques some examples in greece they are compulsory in enclosed places while in france them and to just walk amsterdam says covering the face is essential in busy parts of the city and we know many u.s. states are also bringing back the practice was health organization spokesperson margaret harris again says mosques can help control the very. so we say if you cannot socially distance especially if you're in a crowded place with all ventilation so that's where you don't have the fresh air in dispersing the droplets in the aerosols we say that a face covering is a means of preventing the source of the droplets certs you from going into the air and potentially infecting other people again i'm sure that there are those who really vulnerable are being given the right advice of be given the right
4:04 pm
information and should and should know how to protect themselves and what they can do if they're not confident that it's safe for them to go out they should be able to be again their own best risk manager or manager alicia be empowered to be that nobody should oblige people to do something that they don't feel is safe. sticking with covert a leading care home provider in the u.k. has hit out at the government's failure to provide the virus testing for staff and residents all thirty's reportedly blamed the delays on suppliers mike head of the independent care group told us that testing is key since care homes are coronavirus hotspots there ought to mean a sheen or e in the in the government to mono testing for all quotes in care homes in the country after all the n.h.s. is in the front line is getting us testing done i think our social care should get equal priority from what i've seen nationally and what is happening just personally that there have been delays in the testing which is not good enough i believe there
4:05 pm
has been some folks with some of the tests and there's not a lot of progress it's not gone very well i just hope it picks up for the future because trusting people is actually important to keep this virus burning so it didn't go well in the beginning it still got problems the government dollar announced plans to test care home staff weekly with residents getting checked around once a month that's on top of regular tests already in place however due to a problem with tests from an unnamed supplier. it will now take up to 5 weeks before that can even begin well according to the office for national statistics almost 20000 people died of covert cat homes between march and june just to give you an idea that accounts for almost a 3rd of all deaths in care homes during that same period my part of me again believes the government should have handled the sector's crisis better. we are where we are now and i think the government south of me to the group of things
4:06 pm
differently i just want them sometimes to say actually they could have done better maybe apologize when they haven't got it right some except for you know they come to say something one day and expect to be admitted to the next day when the government is not is not allowing us to do what we need to do i just am going forward we will learn the lessons and what we do get a 2nd way which seems more likely now or the 2nd spark was should say is that we were lessons and make sure. we do all things better. while staying in the u.k. in england in particular we've seen a spike in coronavirus cases but that didn't deter thousands from hitting the beaches in fact the coast guard is having its busiest day inside the is this is how brighton looked on friday people flooded to the seaside resort in search of relief on what was the hottest day of 20 twentieth's so far vitamin d. i.e. sunshine is believed to help fight the disease but few respected social distancing
4:07 pm
between one another it came out as the government announced delays to the easing of lockdown restrictions blaming a new rides and covert cases the measures was to be lifted today but will now stay in place place for at least 2 more weeks the u.k. health secretary explained the change. well we made the announcement last night we moving quickly in some circumstances it is absolutely crystal clear what the new rules are and we've brought them in to target specifically the problems that we've been able to see through to date. a new study meanwhile has revealed that most people and good don't have a clear understanding of the guidelines a far greater proportion though have a grasp of the current measures in scotland and wales when the same rules applied throughout the u.k. back in march there was much more knowledge generally across the board. well u.k.
4:08 pm
lockdown rules vary depending on the country many where from 6 to 30 people from up to 5 households are allowed to gather outdoors social distancing the also varies from one to 2 meters when we talk about indoors while england allows 2 households to mix while in northern ireland up to food families can come together we asked people in london if they thought the guidelines were clear enough. and the head of the music no meaning is exactly but still out on what they should be doing to be able to little baby me yeah the dates. you don't know like to know what. to do it's too long to leave. hundreds of pages and pages of time it's very unclear duties don't do that to death but don't it is sad that you know it's one thing or the other thing it's i just think it's like it's something in between everyone is. a different way. i get to do
4:09 pm
much much better i think the rules are pretty clear on the news and that kind of thing but i'm not sure people always respect the rules and breaching gatherings like anything but i think in general we've done alright. and times of rush a masquerade of fire as facts nation plan has been announced in the country starting in october the health minister confoundedly evolve to clinical trials of a vaccine developed in the country all believed to have proven successful with all the details. but this spring hailed as a sport a big moment for the ministry tells the story of course russia's 1st satellite in space but the 7 this story is closer to home. with the health minister said at the very 1st vaccine could be approved as early as this month and put into mass production and vaccination as early as october so just a couple of months away now there are of course schools of course of all
4:10 pm
coronavirus vaccines under development around 20 of them globally already to local trials as this one was developed at the young lady institute a research facility in moscow mouse last month scientists so that the early stage trials were a success there was no safety issues the vaccine develops of 100 percent response in the volunteers who caught. what's the last aim that has gone for approval procedures we rolled 'd up 1st of all to front line workers to keep them safe this is what he had to say. once he's authorized vaccines will start to be used in special groups most of all on doctors and teaches at the same time there will be a 3rd place of monitoring vaccine patients he should also be emphasised that we are preparing for the flu season some months now the technology go on this vaccine is actually based on a bit of our us which is the cold cold virus it's artificially created and the
4:11 pm
proteins when put into the human body they generate an immune response that stimulates the immune system to give at least some immunity when the person or if the person should come into contact with corona virus now is worth saying the vaccine is not yet fully ready it needs approval the paperwork needs to be completed and the final stage 3 trial where according to the health ministry of around 800 people are going to take part that's going to take place in the coming weeks should that be ok should the procedures be approved to see regulation or approval then and the subsequent rollout which is of course through season as well as the health minister said russia like many other countries will be preparing for the flu season when people have weakened immune system as well merril more viral illness around so certainly this potential candidate bites in was very promising indeed it will be a very welcome boost to many and a positive step forward in preventing some of the very straight so massive
4:12 pm
lockdowns we've seen here in russia and also around the world. well some of the fallout because of a pandemic is putting the planet on the brink of a new environmental crisis that's according to the u.n. the problem being the increased plastic pollution due to use disposable mosques gloves and other protective equipment shall it deepens came from the heart of paris reports the war against plastic was being one we would hold governments around the world with banning single use plastics and making us think more about plastic footprints canada is an important player in the larger global movement to reduce plastic pollution the u.k. one of those countries that's committed to making sure that 30 percent of the world's oceans are fully protected but a government is phasing out single use play stick shopping bags over the next year but then came close to stop the spread of the virus single items of fruit found themselves bound up in plastic coffee companies shifting back again to single use
4:13 pm
cups while in the u.k. an outright ban on plastic stools and stirs has been delayed due to the pandemic people to have covered up with disposable gloves and masks with countries having to billions of those to meet demand the united nations though is warning that many will end up here the streets are as rubbish plastic pollution was already one of the greatest threats to our planet before the crown a virus outbreak the sudden boom in the dual use of certain products to keep people safe and stop the disease is making things much worse the fear of them becoming part of the litter problem has pushed many governments to issue fines in front improperly discarding a mass could land you with a penalty of $135.00 which could easily go up to $750.00 us if the issue gets escalated court there is hefty fines that you seem to fail to prevent
4:14 pm
a mask slide. this ending up not just on the streets but also you know sees this video from one french organize ation the regularly cleans up police say in the sea shows the scale of the issue it's one the problem is the giant with full loves masks and bottles of hand sanitizer now floating beneath the waves of. before could be 90 we found is 0 masks its new pollution to clean news we really had plastic banks posting countries and now all this mosques are also contains plastic in fact it's not widely known but a mass can take up to 600 years to degrade and they referring made it into little plastic non-acute and these are going to enter into the food chain that i want people to where ringback they're reusable most of them and 3 where they're. going to be less thrown away many masks contain plastics such as polypropylene that takes
4:15 pm
415 years to decompose and the french government is being lost to. the extent of this environmental pollution should alert us because these masks passing from sidewalks to waterways will inevitably end up in nature or in the sea with a life span of 450 years this equipment constitutes a veritable ecological time bomb obviously a health solution must not generate a global environmental crisis it's not just plastic that is causing concern in china dramatic air quality improvements will see you neutering locked down even more now but vanished as manufacturing has been run back to cope at levels and this concern that elsewhere to even think to stave off the collapse of many companies particularly that oil and gas industries they may be asking for special dispensation. there's a serious risk that polluters could emerge from this crisis bolder and potentially more profitable than ever many one stole the silver lining. could be 90 could be

the chance to heal the planet to live in a way that small home movie is with nature it seems the reality could be the fall from the tree so. often see paris. not some news in brief from across the walls at stall in russia the far eastern city of today full 3 candle protests in support of its former gulf and i. was detained last month on charges of legalizing mothers 50 years ago and shortly off to his arrest he was followed by president clinton his arrest sponsors an outcry in the area as he has become hooked it up to his social policies some citizens claim the charges against him all politically motivated. meanwhile police tell me to rush off to thousands of people protested against going to bars measures which they believe violate their

4:18 pm
i think we need to kind of just get back to realizing that modern medicine has achieved some great things but actually when it comes to what has increased our life expectancy more than anything else in the last 4 or 5 you know the last sort of 150 years most of these be public health you know modern medicine can be attributes to id maybe 3 in office 5 years for life expectancy over an increase of 40 years in the last century in august and that's again something that people probably find quite surprising quite shocking.
4:19 pm
you can't be both with yeah you would. welcome back now a group of 33 russian citizens who had been detained to better us have now been officially arrested the by the russian prosecutor whole fries that president sat it was a preventative measure well let's get more on this i'm joined live while correspondent jackie this is a story that's puzzled a lot of people both by the russia and russia what more can you tell us what are the latest developments. well bellers claims that these 30 plus people are members of the wagner group which is a crime. that russian military contractor and they choose them a being in the country in order to interfere and their upcoming election which is taking place on august the 9th all that comes that any evidence whatsoever and the
4:20 pm
belorussian president alexander lukashenko he's sticking his 6th term in office and he says that these russians were in the country in order to work with the opposition and incite riots and what not now the opposition is actually gaining traction at this point and go went on to double down on the claim saying that these 33 people were only the beginning of those being sent to his country to disrupt the election though he did strangely add on and call for leniency for those being arrested and. they are of course to blame but not enough to take any tough measures against them that use soldiers they followed orders is necessary to deal with those who ordered them who sent them here and an attempt now to hide behind russia and say that they almost degrade the arrival of this group with us is complete nonsense and investigation is under way by the bell or russian authorities and men's continues to demand an explanation for the presence of the group in the country and
4:21 pm
despite the fact that russia's stance has been very clear from the very beginning here's how the russian ambassador to belarus put it. the russian so rives of the bill or a citizen of taurine in minsk was forced to do this due to the fact that they missed the flight from the national airport to the republicans capital heading in transit to country. so this is of course a serious diplomatic sticking point between the 2 countries dimitry peskov president putin's spokesperson earlier had said that he had hopes that the people would soon be released but given this latest development that doesn't seem likely and there's really no telling how badly this will impact the 2 usual allies relations. p 2 countries the historic can a culture change very close i'm sure our friends hoping that the situation clarifies and resolves itself very soon many thanks that was chuckling phooka. tamara co-op president trump says federal mournful cement will remain in portland

4:23 pm
actually targeted for his his base is political base and he doesn't necessarily intend to carry out the policies that he initially announces he may run as related to provoke violence because we all have a memory those of us who are old enough. every memory of $968.00 during the democratic party convention when there were police riots in the streets. the backlash on television or the media. brought to power. or the president richard nixon. perhaps you know. people. think. that they would like to escalated to create a message of fear in public and. now of course we've all seen the images the city has seen continuous rioting in recent weeks more possible store an 18 year old
