5:01 am
i now break for a moment when i put on my mask our policy or correspondent ongoing unrest on the streets of beirut she was as the entire government's resignation fails to quell public anger over last tuesday's deadly port blasts. other very good afternoon just a midday here live from arts international's world news center moscow monomers kevin oh it is 1st big news breaking news from russia president putin has just revealed in the last hour that russia has registered the world's 1st corona virus vaccine the country's health minister has added that the medicine has proved to be safe and highly efficient in tests so far the vaccine is expected to be made public by next january however it's understood that mr putin's own daughter has already been administered to administered with
5:02 am
a dose of the vaccine such is the faith and it correspondent later is going to join us in the program with more updates before that is what mr putin said within the hour about today's development. you know who can use us in a sewer and you know as far as i know this morning the 1st vaccine for corona virus in the world was registered on the country's health minister to further inform us about that but i already know that it's working effectively and forming a tough immunity that oh. yeah we got more than a little bit later but let's go on to our next story now there's been a further night a disturbances in bella ross in the wake of president look at claiming another landslide election when the results being disputed by the opposition and the seen sporadic skirmishes on the street and riot police deployed that unrest has now turned deadly to one protester was confirmed killed overnight becoming the 1st casualty of a crisis that's unlikely to fade away any time soon. i
5:03 am
. just take in the people that are doing i think you. have swallowed us here years ago i've come out but i want to leave in a free and peaceful country is that if you. welcome was the call march of this mass that is going on can you take i don't understand what hold. it is the worst civil unrest by the roof has seen since the country emerged from the soviet union nearly 30 years ago some protesters are also resorting to petrol bombs and building barricades to in fact one was reported to have driven a car in a riot officer as for president look at her he insists the police response thus far has been appropriate in the face of mounting concern from abroad too including the
5:04 am
united states no chipping in. the u.s. is deeply concerned about the conduct of the election which was not free and fair severe restrictions on violence access for candidates intimate. nation tactics against opposition gambit and detentions of peaceful protesters and journalists marred the process along in the digital clock that it will run $25.00 police officers have been injured legs hands broken they would deliberately his it so they responded why are you crying now the response will be adequate we will not allow you to tear the country apart. but a number of low level protests from politicians citizens living abroad to also here in moscow there was a gathering outside the embassy as experts called for change back home a number of russians gathered as well demanding the release of russian journalists have been detained in minsk could talk me through what. think of the following situation in a post soviet republic russia's western neighbor on the one hand the opposition
5:05 am
daily gearing up for nonstop protests like there's no tomorrow against a president who is a covert dissident who's been in charge of the country for more than 25 years i can tell you that some of the opposition have already been posting ways and instructions how to go and combat with police how to build barricades and yes indeed there have been some instances of authorities being attacked but then on the other hand that same president alexander lukashenko claiming a landslide victory in a poll where he didn't allow pretty much any international observers ironically because of covert 19 and he also said that he wouldn't tolerate anything close to the my down protests in neighboring ukraine under these kind of circumstances when officers it seems have gotten the orders to get hold of pretty
5:06 am
much anyone who decides to go out in the street to voice their discontent up probably journalists are the ones that are becoming the most vulnerable after the protesters and indeed we got proof of that on monday night when quite a few reporters were detained in belarus and cluing r.t. russian correspondent constantin but in the violent yes but i salute them i asked riot police officers whether the road was blocked and they said no it's no come with us they twisted my hands and pushed me into their vehicle 200 or something to the way i thought i should say they didn't beat me he's not they behaved relatively well as well as riot police come back to school they put a plastic tonico my hands and that didn't tighten it too much it was difficult to breathe so i didn't have enough force to climb on to the vehicles to just fall on its tool so these weren't just single isolated cases and i can tell you that with. some reporters connection has been lost for more than a day but could spend thousands case he was lucky to be released quickly and he
5:07 am
didn't suffer any injuries but again that wasn't the case all the time because we saw pictures of another colleague of mine. who's an experience were a journalist we saw him being carried seemingly unconscious after being beaten up and i can tell you that here outside the all russian embassy in moscow on monday night we saw fellow reporters coming here to deliver a strong message to the authorities in minsk when you go to the press with these i'm renting simeone pay go flat before going to minsk he texted me if something happens to me send money to my wife yesterday night i was monitoring events and saw a photo of a guy being dragged by his hands that looks like simular but not his clothes so i forgot about it and on monday it turns out it was him senor edition this is the chinese the known and others in the long list of journalists no matter russian or not were the most violent cities during the west is unacceptable the aren't produce
5:08 am
a prince and the bands there are observers covering them does the opposition seem to have the intention of stopping what they're doing perhaps the answer is no you can look at the telegram channels through which the work is being spread and some cases they only had 100000 subscribers now they get in some cases this number has gone up to hundreds of thousands so this is clearly a signal that on the other hand like i said with all the riot gear with rubber bullets with water cannons the authorities are saying that they won't tolerate any of this so we could be good for more trouble in the streets of colors with protesters unfortunately possibly with journalists and police officers as well. if a trying convey we've been discussing the developments to a number of analysts and where this may go next as they say with the best educated guess is what to say about the significance of what some so far than. when you look at the pictures coming out of sky they really look quite spontaneous rather
5:09 am
disorganized already something which is being centrally controlled it is a surprising that it got so high and so so quickly. for instance that crane and that might sit a while for the violence to ramp up as this seems to started on a more violent basis but it seems this time the protests have some legs to them that they have some ability that's not to say that. could not achieve a total credit go if you wish but at what cost the people in beirut are seeing the examples of protest around the world they're certainly taking heart from this shingle is blaming outsiders for stoking protests now he's blaming the polish the czechs the british i mean the signal white view on who is posting meddling in this country if anybody who's been a rooster has been there right now it's a very very time country normally it's not known for protests this is out of character federations they're not violent people they certainly would only protest
5:10 am
what they would see as something of last resort. lebanese government and the prime minister resigned after mounting public anger following last tuesday's devastating chemical explosions the number of deaths is no thought to be over 200 and hundreds of thousands are homeless because of it the date of protests is you know as local squarely blame the government citing years of endemic corruption our middle east correspondent reporting next from near to one of the overnight disturbances for you . situation here is becoming more and more behind you you see the lebanese police they've managed to push protesters all the way back from the parliament building we're now in one of the side streets here is tear gas and we going to move forward a little bit because rocks are being thrown in our direction by the protesters now the protesters are still. all out on the streets despite the fact that earlier the lebanese prime minister resigned he resigned along with his cabinet but what the
5:11 am
protesters here are telling me is that they are not going to stop taking to the streets until the whole column and its soft resign so it's possible that scenes like this will continue we've witnessed people being wounded again we've witnessed ambulances fearing them to and from the scene so a lot of the same scenes unfolding as we've witnessed over the past 2 days this is violence that started on saturday night more than 700 people have been injured one policeman so far has been killed are no we getting tear gas ok at our hour break for a moment while i put on my mask and we'll show you what the last few days of violence have looked like.
5:12 am
now people here are calling this a revolution i've been talking to protesters and they say that this revolution is not going to be over as i mentioned until the parliament itself resigns beirut really hasn't witnessed scenes like this in many many years we've had lots of tear gas on the streets there but the camera man was injured at the same time the police are being accused of using excessive force and they have admitted to using both tear gas and live bullets we going to move forward again because the tear gas coming in this direction and so to some if you towards us but as i say the situation in beirut a lot of ngo a lot of frustration not only about the explosion at the port but also the whole mismanagement of the government and its failure to take accountable. and responsibility this is actually the 2nd governments had to resign i'm not sure but
5:13 am
it's. really a government resign engine culture but austere and then hariri remainders of catsup if i was a 2 months so it may well be that house and you know remains in power as a church of prime minister for a month or 2 so you're flown once served to protest as well not be happy with their own chin dependent people who have some kind of reputation of credibility and accountability so that's once in seconds and as i said here was that i think that people want a near palm tree elections in the hope that new kind of hits will emerge well the same old problem where there was the boss to have 30 years and get a new fresh new who could get him to tell me. every time you see these pictures you just can't imagine that happened apocalyptic my own well there's almost nothing left of that site with at least 3000 tons of ammonium nitrate exploding but the repercussions are being felt across the city and the country course the already stretched health service some to deal with all the covert stuff is fund itself overwhelmed by the thousands of victims and with thousands of homes and businesses
5:14 am
now destroyed it's left an incalculable toll on families and their livelihoods case in point let's focus on one particular set of lives affected next this couple it was their wedding day at the time simply trying to film a should have been the happiest day of their lives now they did survive is the family describe what they have been through. cough. all of those little. upside down. but it's not

5:16 am
hall notice he shot. my song because if i'm not that it was. through thanks for watching it 60 minutes past the hour exactly coming up the mayor of chicago to get tough on sunday night's riots is following the black protesters just one of the stories big breaking news this hour as well about big progress being made here in russia with the vaccines coming up.
5:17 am
5:18 am
again but breaking news that a mention russia has registered the 1st world's coronavirus vaccine it's been approved this tuesday morning by the russian health ministry to get late stone it and thought how effective it could be by joining an expert dr mohammed morning it was a viral adjusted britain's lancaster university nice figure thanks for your time today is much appreciated no see so there's a difference between near good china. put a vaccine forward but that hasn't been registered china russia has now registered it that's an important step forward isn't it important to get something registered but there's not actually when it's ready for the public. i think we've got a problem of the sound there are not hearing i don't know if they are in the gallery next door to me no i'm not going to sound at all dr i think we're going to
5:19 am
come back she will try one more time to subpoena completely those a very good start wasn't it we'll get back to dr mohamed in just a bit i believe let's now though go on to another story today we're going to talk about what's happening in france again to do with the coded as of now paris in there where in masks is mandatory both inside and out on the streets is a sweltering summer in the french capital but residents and visitors alike must note here to the street new rules to combat the spread of the coronavirus there's been a post lockdown record in the daily infection rates with more than 2000 logged on friday charlotte in paris for us. the french capital has become the latest city to make wearing a face mask a bleak a tree doors now in certain parts of paris and its suburbs it's no longer only shops and enclosed public spaces where you'll need one of these meaning on this street i can walk freely without
5:20 am
a mask but as i turn here i am compelled to mask. areas indicated on this map in red show where the new rules will be enforced the aim is to slow down there is option of the covered $1000.00 a 2nd wave is expected there's an urgent need to strengthen prevention measures if we do not want a new lockdown as well as outdoor markets and the busy streets wearing the mask is no obligatory for anyone walking here along the banks of the sen though some are room ready ignoring it with paris in the grip of a heat wave some have questioned the logic behind that decision. especially here yesterday i think it was 40 degrees so the mosque is hard to tell you it is indeed difficult to swear it's uncomfortable it makes it even more sikh what i don't invest in the decision because we already work only with mosques but
5:21 am
to street we are not in contact with other people. know her many people with whom virus so it's important to have lost who could help us. sort of will be aren't good i see that on the street a lot of people don't wear masks i don't think that. checks will be carried out to ensure compliance but in other french cities more extreme measures are being taken. for. you because you're in nice cameras equipped with law. speak is being used in a bid to remind people that masks must be worn so much have questioned the scientists behind the mask wiring in an open environment so far no cluster originating from an open environment has been revealed in france while a recent japanese study estimated that you are almost 20 times less likely to
5:22 am
contract the virus outside civic through the basket it is true that wearing masks is important as they protect others and ourselves so what is difficult to accept is that masks are bigger in some places where we are not in danger and where we wouldn't put others in danger but you jurists might find it confusing when they come here and monitored by cameras obliged to wear masks and kyrillos because reminding everybody that just on this i know it is annoying but i wear a mask even 30 degrees i because that just janet home to not be the computer i think mosques are effective in crowded places public transport on main street or in shopping. even the french health minister has conceded that masks hold to the transmission of. the advice is to stand from need to hang on the french. have seen the increase in the circulation of the virus in france in
5:23 am
europe and in the world and japan for example is facing a resumption of the circulation of the virus despite the wearing of mosques including in the outside. but a sprawl struggles to administer enough tests to keep up with the demand and the country's top scientific body warning that the battle could be the last moment to control the spread of the virus it's possible that politicians feel the need to be seen doing something even if that something in this case wearing a mosque outdoors leaves many doubt. altie paris. it's going to be done right i'm very pleased to say no we got the line back to dr mohammed and they're on the line for the u.k. hi there thanks for being with us again i don't hear the question not so just briefly the big news today russia has no registered the 1st. vaccine china authorized for testing something before that but it's
5:24 am
a much bigger step to register something for the uninitiated what is the difference why is russia head of the game here well certainly it seems like us years ahead of the game by just invites us to actually maybe only nationally but certainly it is a big stop to consider in this unprecedented situation with the chinese that is only just been apprised me in the need to be completed before it is approved but that is really the 1st ones that we talk about getting the vaccine into the public because afterwards it has to pass through still certain steps of the scaling up manufacturing and getting the labels and distribution. but certainly this is something i think is really good news in this until it's got to talking yes a really difficult balancing act everybody around the world wants to get a vaccine so that works but equally something that isn't going to cause any other problems or any unforseen the difficulties down the line. is it realistic to get a vaccine this quickly. certainly it is it is not really the 'd regular
5:25 am
procedure of the conventional process take 5 to 10 years really to get through all the safety and efficacy trials in the interview we have learned over the years but i think one thing i would like to point out is that the technology that the rich researchers are using is not any different than what astra zeneca and oxford university are using so in terms of technology there is no any question 'd on its crew and wait to deliver the antigen to the body and to induce the immune system but that really some concerns are owned the way it has been trial of course the number of people who've been tested in history trials for example in the russian vaccine those been only 2000 were in tears were compared 250000 in our stores and ago and 30000 in modern no vaccine so those are concerns but yet if it's proven safe in human 2000 people i think there is no any taking this one at a broader scale but certainly within the within the country where the phase 2 trial
5:26 am
had been conducted not in any particular diverse population for example the trial has been conducted in russia economy deployed in africa and don't there's no hard and fast rule on what the best vaccine if you like it's going to be at the end of the day here is that i mean this is what a russian i was one of 2 on the cards that are more to come you know what is it going to be a have a mix and match thing in future house is going to work or is the whole world eventually going to be kind of designed for one the single best vaccine or isn't isn't going to. well certainly one thing the ideal situation would be that we would have to have a vaccine that would be one for all we can't have a 'd vaccine for russia a vaccine mexico vaccine pakistan a vaccine you give x. and we have to have one wag seen that protect cross the globe around the population but the time scale is meaty sure what we are looking here is that we have couple of vaccines those would be approved simultaneously or in
5:27 am
a very short time so those can be rolled out and can be deployed into the state but one thing is pretty clear that the 1st vaccines those will be approved by the regulatory bodies and nationally or internationally or continental level would not be the ideal vaccines because they might protect only 50 to 60 percent which isn't sufficient enough to really stop the transmission of the virus that back scale so therefore we would be looking at the 2nd generation of axion would probably be more people and more efficacious that what we have to keep an eye on. when you go about doing this producing such a lot of this stuff in the 1st place rolling it out and then i suppose there's a question mark about how long this vaccine last how long you've got a minute to cover it and what's the ideal term ask most of it for life but it's not likely. yes absolutely i mean whatever the trials that have been reported so far none of the vaccine is the one that can give a protective immunity by the single short so that means that need to be given to shorts and so to to have enough immunity but that we don't really know for how long
5:28 am
that community would last maybe one year 2 years or 5 year based on our previous experiences with the core nobody says i'm unity lost last productive enough for one year but to some extent if you're mean up to 3 years in source or conventional source back in 200220028 so certainly that is one of the things that we need to consider at that the vaccines those are being rolled out but those who are and provide enough protection for a year or 3 years and if they're going to wipe protection for one year that mean it would become a seasonal vaccine like influenza vaccine that. i mean we need more back scenes really rollout that was back and meet the demands on the globe do you know any more about the actual detail about this 1st vaccine now that's been registered in russia acacias today is. one of the scientists saying about it well that is a part of the problem that the data that has been generated either is $12.00 or 3 trial or even at the clinical development 'd stage it hasn't become publicly
5:29 am
available for us as a researcher this is really critical to have an independent opinion because what we are hearing is based on the press releases or communications through our 'd own connections but there isn't really any actual that we can really into an authentic fight if that is really the case your education is not to be considered for the regulatory processes but whatever it is coming out from there it seems like it is being manufactured and being regulated in russia which isn't really a bad start i would say at this stage while there's always the hope at the top is what a president putin's told to support an inoculation so the must be lot of faith and it. is not supposed to give encouragement to the general public because it's still not anywhere near being ready to give to the public yet maybe next month but there's still this is only phase one of the testing it's got to go to stage 3 of the testing as you say normally that takes a long time but this is all being done in a very very short period of time isn't it. yes absolutely i mean vaccines or i have
5:30 am
a really good tool to control the infection but the one we're staying we want to see is that the vaccine that are deployed for controlling the infection would have some other side effects that would be disastrous for not only the vaccine could be lucky but also acceptance in the future so certainly and no a corner should be thought for i think ac trials and so on but it does seem to acknowledge it's based on a i don't know why dismiss rock scene that's what we know and it expresses a spy put out enough that grown a lot to say itself that had the same approach as an oxford university or astra zeneca vaccine is applying so in terms of technology i don't really know don and then well i don't as i said before is i want to debate has been crossed through the phase one and phase 2 trial and now and the phase 3 trial but certainly having bigger you know personalities getting those 'd 'd one. bit of that a bill.
