and so you see things like voter suppression building more prisons you see gerrymandering all sorts of in democratic practices. in the world the well of. course of the. breaking news here on r.t. a potential light at the end of the pandemic tunnel russia says it's registered the world's 1st vaccine the health minister says it's tested and proven to be safe also at. gun fire police clash is the 1st fatality the better russian capital sees another night of a rest following the disputed presidential election several journalists were detained. i don't know be getting tear gassed ok i am i'll break

for a moment when i put on my mask and ongoing unrest on the streets of beirut as the entire government's resignation fails to quell public anger over last tuesday's deadly pull the plugs. are welcome just come 2 pm here in moscow you're watching international president putin has revealed that russia has registered the world's 1st corona virus vaccine the country's health minister has added that the medicine has proven to be safe and highly efficient in tests so far so let's get more in this now from our correspondent. following the story for good afternoon good news what further information do we have on it all 1st of all is the name of the vaccine the developers just. it's

a call that sputnik sputnik 5 with the roman numeral v. so the vaccine was registered earlier on that use day and let him her food and now it's that himself he also added that his own daughter actually participated and she got inoculated and after a couple of days off slightly warm temperature she is now ok all of that improves and now says that he hopes mass production off this vaccine sputnik 5 will begin very soon as have a listen. you know if we can use use going to and as far as i knew this morning the 1st vaccine from 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. well we reported many times that's the vaccine that along with others were along in the making this particular one was

done in collaboration with the military and civilian contractors and at least that's one to volunteer support once again the military and civilian and after the clinical trials that were over they experienced no side effects are now are now immune against the coronavirus russian health ministry says that it's a 2 phase in nature this vaccine will provide immunity for as long as it suits years now there were some concerns that russia does came out with this scene very early very quickly indeed. experts. from the company that developed it's are saying that this technology that was used in making the vaccine was based on adenovirus or basically a common cold and it was at least 20 years in the making so they just did some final adjustments and that's how it became available so soon at the moment 2000

people will be further researched by the makers of the vaccine and it will soon be available in other countries as well the 3rd phase is now over and soon will see clinical trials in other countries to. ok thanks to a man that was a teaser one cost with the latest on this announcement about the vaccine but we talked to the head of the russian sovereign wealth fund but he's investing in the vaccine research here he told us about the production possibilities and also the steps ahead. real radio received tentative interest and prelim in their requests for 1000000000 those us vaccine we have also built partnership 2 for use of exceeding in 5 countries and we now have production capability over 500000000 but seems that can be produced in the next 12 months mostly works in produced and

russia will be serving as the russian market and big scene for used in other countries will do surveying the country and also other markets and we expect clinical trials to start saudi arabia feel it becomes very soon we hope and talk of clinical trials in different nations we are open to orders i was always conscious of that scene and has always come true is a production capability to produce for it seems we are open to licensing agreement and partnership with them to produce we open to share our technology was a us we believed again with every joint and then me which is kind of virus and we need to put aside our political a difficult as we basically will really track people who are receiving the vaccine over the next couple of months but there is a specific proprietary the best government to institute develop that basically tracks very efficient and subordinate at packing specifically as a spike was

a colonel virus so everybody who receives a vaccine and the next couple of months they will have an application to track their condition and they will also be measured for a specific level of eggs or borders they develop all of us as they did that will also be publicly available and by the way all of the research by the malays to do it will be published by samples of moms in a leading for in public haitians the very much open and believes of other nations should study what seeing true study different big scenes and really focus on protecting the people it's also not on. lou protecting people but i mean but i would just talk open and honest work well and we need people to be healthy and we need them to be working when you deserve to have good employment and but strangely is the real you solution for getting i'll call mr work. ok let's get more reaction now from the global science community life matter lawrence young he's

a professor of molecular own college here britain's universe and he joins us now a very welcome thanks for coming on what's your reaction to this news that you surprised that russia was able to register this faxing so quickly. well it's very exciting news and very very welcome news and yes a lot of a lot of the interest in this vaccine obviously i haven't seen any of the details so far look forward to seeing the publications but it is a very very exciting development for the public's point of view do you think they'll be enough trust in a in a vaccine like this because president in the said look we're not going to force people to take it do you think enough or more needs to be done about what tests have been completed to ensure that the public will trust this vaccine and will be prepared to take it. well i think we have to know a lot more about the vaccine we have to know exactly what it is how it compares with the more than 165 different vaccines been being developed across the world the

most important of all is the safety tests that have been used it's very difficult to fast track back scene development without ensuring on the 1st phase that the vaccine is safe and the 2nd phase that the vaccine is effective and that's what's happening now with about 8 also back scenes in the works where and in china where vaccines are going into the last phase of clinical. study to look at efficacy so i guess what we all need to see is the data that's coming out of russia i notice that there's some reference to ongoing clinical trials in the possibility of this vaccine being used in clinical trials outside of russia but it's what i think is very important that we evaluate the the data the safety profile and what efficacy data is available all. are you surprised that other countries haven't registered their vaccine as well because russia saying to pay you know as you said it's a race everybody thing to be you know level pegging but it's russia that's

registered it 1st you think. they'd jump the gun here have they taken a risk that other countries are prepared to take what are your thoughts well you know it's difficult without seeing the data because clearly as i said earlier vaccine development is a complex and often quite a protracted a trainer where safety testing takes time where efficacy taste testing takes a long time so the issue is we're all busy trying to foster track back scene development without compromising safety and also recognize and then in terms of our understanding of the inman knowledge of this virus we still don't really know what a protective immune response looks like and how effective and long term any vaccine protection will be so i think in some respects. there is an. i guess i'm concerned about the degree to which some of the safety testing and some of the regulator e aspects about scene approval have been performed in russia but i guess we'll see

that will me see the data from a medical point of view if you confirm that there is a sort of a commercial race to get this vaccine out ready for public use i don't think there's been a great worldwide collaborative effort and that's exactly what's been stressed to date by block by block by russia but actually this isn't a race against each other it's a race against the virus itself and what's so important is that we all work together is an international community that's been one of the amazing things i have to say about the effort internationally in terms of understanding the virus and developing new therapeutic approaches as well as vaccines it's it's working together and of course there is a there is a a commercial imperative at the end of this not least because with any successful vaccine we've got to think about how we scale it up how we manufacture enough doses and i think we also have a responsibility to think about how a new bank scene might be used in lower middle income countries where the

infrastructure may be difficult in terms of vaccine delivery so i think this is more about racing against the virus than it is racing each other yeah ok well it's certainly very good news anyway lawrence really nice until he will leave it there that was launched young he was a professor of molecular on quality at britain's boric he never missed a thank you thank you. there's been a further night of disturbances in bella ruth in the wake of president lukashenko claiming another landslide election when the result is being disputed by the opposition and has seen sporadic clashes on the streets and riot police deployed and a rest has now turned deadly to one protester was confirmed killed overnight becoming the 1st casualty of the crisis that is unlikely to fade any time sir. i. just take in people that are doing

nothing. i've swallowed yes q yes i've come out but i want to leave in a free and peaceful country if you. will how much of this mass this is going on can you take i don't understand what hold. but it is the worst civil unrest bellerive sassing since the country emerged from the union maybe 30 years ago some protesters are also resorting to for bombs and building barricades on this reporters who are driven a car and a riot officer president bush and co insist the police response is appropriate in the face of mounting concern from abroad including the united states. the us is deeply concerned about the conduct of the election which was not free and fair

severe restrictions on violence access for candidates intimidation tactics against opposition candidates and detentions of peaceful protesters and journalists marred the process but on the 30 people around $25.00 police officers have been injured legs broken they would deliberately hears it so they responded with why are you crying and the response will be adequate so that we will not allow you to tear the country apart the struggle with i have also been a number of low level protest from better russian citizens living abroad i hear moscow for example it was a gathering outside the embassy as ex-pats called change back home and professions gathered so you demanding the release of russian journalists who'd been detained in minsk if you're trying to talk this through what happened. think of the following situation in a post soviet republic russia's western neighbor on the one hand the opposition 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 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 press who thumping i was right police officers whether the road was blocked and they said for no it's no come with us they trusted my hands and pushed me into their vehicle 200 or something to them what i thought i should say they didn't beat me he's not they behaved relatively well i was going to run please come and they went to school they put a plastic tonico my hands and that didn't touch me too much it was difficult to breathe really so i didn't have enough force to climb on to the vehicle was just thrown into fuel 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 in constantine's case he was lucky to be released quickly and he 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 present with me and i'm renting simeone paragraph 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 looks like simulant but not his clothes so i forgot about it and on monday it turns out it was him see what additional moon essential monies that are known and others in the long list of journalists no matter russian or not who are in the most violent cities during us is unacceptable we aren't produce a prince of 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 word is being spread in some cases they only had 100 or 1000 subscribers now again in some cases this number has gone up to hundreds of thousands so this is clearly a signal that all the other had like i said with all the riot gear with rubber bullets with water cannon the authorities are saying that they won't tolerate any of this so we could be in for more trouble in the streets of del roose with protesters unfortunately possibly with journalists and police officers as well. thank you there reporting outside the bell russian embassy in moscow now meanwhile the main opposition candidate he's publicly rejected the election results has fled to neighboring lithuania taken off sky says that she doesn't understand the reaction it may cause but she did it for her children here.

i took a very difficult decision i did that by myself my friends family colleagues and husband did not influence me many will understand me many will judge many will start to hate him our president lukashenko has accused several countries of triggering the unrest and interfering in the election however journalist prime donald does that that is the case because shingle is blaming outsiders for stoking protests and now he's blaming the polish the czechs the british i mean the signal white view on who is mostly meddling in this country if anybody who's been a rooster has been there it's very very true country normally it's not known for protests this is out of character federations they're not violent people they certainly would only protest what they would see as something of last resort washing out a we're going to take a quick break now we'll have more news for you in a couple of minutes. join

me every thursday simon short and i'll be speaking to get us the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. small seemed wrong. but old rules just don't call. me old it is yet to shake out these days comes to agitate and in games from an equal to the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. during that year we talk about all those crazy problems out there then during the

summer we're here with solutions that's right so lucian's and today we're going to be talking with the nose of korean floor dot co u.k. . again welcome back now the lebanese government and the prime minister have resigned after mounting public anger following last tuesday's devastating chemical explosions the number of deaths is nath thought to be over 200 and hundreds of thousands have been left homeless there have been days of protest says local squarely blame the government citing years of endemic corruption while middle east correspondent poor asli reports now close to one of the overnights the. situation here is becoming more and more unruly 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 but there is tear gas and we're going to move

forward a little bit because rocks are being thrown in our direction by the protesters now the protesters are still out on the streets despite the fact that earlier the lebanese prime minister resigned he resigned along with his cabinet but what the protesters here are telling me is that they are not going to stop taking to the streets until the whole parliament itself resigns 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 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 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. was. was.

was. was. was. 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 is coming in this direction and so to some even towards us but as i say the situation in baby to a lot of and go to

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 accountability and responsibility this is actually a secular government shutdown i'm not sure how true but it's a good start and really a government who resigned in portugal last year and then really remainders of captured if i wasn't you want so it may well be that doesn't you know remains in power as the church of prime minister for most of 2 so your 4 months served protesters will not be you have to resign they want independent people who have some kind of reputation credibility and accountability so that's what was in the seconds and as i said what we're hearing was that as things that people want a new parliament to elections in the hope the new kind of goods will emerge while the same old model where there is the past 30 years and you get the new obsession you can strongly. well there is almost nothing left of the site where nearly $3000.00 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded but the repercussions are being felt

across the city still and the country you already stretched health services found itself overwhelmed by the foundations of injured victims and with thousands of homes and businesses now destroyed it's left an incalculable toll on families and their livelihood sinclair getting a couple on their wedding day we're back to show you now at the time simply trying to fill what should have been the happiest day of their lives they looked really survived and along with their family they described what they went. off the cliff on the 9th. all of those little. upside.

down lived. at the start of. the. hope. or for the other. 3 year. old. joe was all but did they give it a bit in. the looks of junk. like i should. and i saw that my husband sleeps a softball. but got

a stream of stuff for you. that's what it looked at the time. knowledge. may not. go down the fish or. if it was. now as of today in paris wearing masks is mandatory both inside and out on the streets to his a sweltering summer in the french capital but residents and visitors are like must now idea to the strict new rules to combat the spread of the coronavirus there's been a post-doc dam record in the daily infections rate with more than 2000 clogged on friday with more from france's challenge. 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 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 i'm sure of the covered 1000 a 2nd wave is expected there is an urgent need to strengthen prevention measures if we do not want a new lockdown as well as outdoor markets and to busy streets wearing the mask is now obligatory for anyone walking here along the banks of the send though some are already ignoring it with paris in the grip of a heat wave some have questioned the law. behind that decision sociable it's unbearable especially here yesterday i think it was 40 degrees so the mosque is hot

it's a i know it is indeed difficult to sweat it's uncomfortable it makes even more seek what i don't invest in the decision because we already walk all day was mosques but in the street we are not in contact with other people for long. now who are many people with whom virus so it's important to every last good health. today 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 oh being taken. here in nice cameras equipped with the loudspeaker being used in a bid to remind people that masks must be worn so much have questioned the signs

behind 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 contract the virus outside civic through the past because it is true that wearing masks is important as they protect others and ourselves so what is difficult to accept is that masks are blanket or 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 there monitored by cameras obliged to wear masks and here in los because reminding everybody to keep their distance i know it is annoying but i wear a mask even the last 30 degrees i prefer to stand at home and not be the key to the world i think mosques are effective in crowded places that welcome public transport on main street or in shopping malls even the french health minister has conceded that masks. the transmission of. local say to the vice has to

stand from need to hang on the french need to have seen the increase in the circulation of the virus in france in 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 sprott struggles to administer enough tests to keep up with demand and the country's top scientific body warning that the battle could be lost at any 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 mask outdoors leaves many doubting. after paris and that brings you up to date things are looking so far today here in r.t. we'll be back with more to reaction on the breaking news this hour that russia has

registered the world's 1st vaccine i will back again in 13.
