entire government's resignation fails to quell public anger there over last tuesday's deadly paul. good afternoon welcome just gone 3 o'clock here in moscow you're watching r.t. international president putin has revealed that russia has registered the world's 1st corona virus vaccine the country's health minister has added to that the medicine has proved to be safe and highly efficient in tests so far with more his. the name of the new vaccine is nick fought with the roman numeral which of course it means 5 out of mere putin and nouns that earlier on cheers day and he said that he hopes that this vaccine will be mass produced very soon that's half of this and we can use using the student as far as i knew this morning the 1st vaccine from
8:02 am
coronavirus in the world was registered among the country's health minister to further inform us about but i already knew that it's working effectively and forming a tough immunity. how the vaccine was developed in collaboration between the military and civilian contractors were reported said member assigned here on our c about the progress of how this vaccine was developed russian health ministry says that since you 2 it's 2 phase nature this this vaccine will last for at least 2 years 2 for anyone that was inoculates it's the developers all the vaccine are saying that soon 1000 more people will be vaccinated in the nearest future in order to perform more research and they're also saying that people exposed to the code in 1000 a working closely in the fight against cove it will be vaccinated among the 1st people as well now let's take
8:03 am
a look at what's next for this vaccine. representatives of the world health organization are also in such with the russian authorities in order to assess the vaccine that was just registered there's been some concern asked. so the speed with which russians have unveiled this vaccine but experts from with the developers side are saying that they had at least a 20 year head start in creating this vaccine because the technology that's used there is based on adenovirus or basically on the common cold and so they say
8:04 am
they're saying that this is how they were able to do this very quickly oh man cost that if there were the head of the russian sovereign wealth fund that did finance the research talk to us about the production possibilities and the steps ahead. real radio received tentative interest and preliminary requests for 1000000000 those us vaccine we have also built partnership to produce a vaccine 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 in your saudi arabia feel it becomes very soon we hope and took up clinical trials in different patients we opened door durst was always
8:05 am
conscious of that scene and it was always countries that have production keep the ability to produce for it seems we are open to licensing agreement and partnership with them to produce we open to share all the 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 we basically will really track people who are receiving the vaccine over the next couple of months but there is a specific proprietor at best government to institute develop that basically tracks very efficient and suborder is a bad thing specifically as a spike was a colonel virus. ok well let's get more reaction now from constantine savitt in all of he's a professor of life sciences at moscow skulk of the institute of science and technology get off to 90 significant is today tonight cement in your opinion that the russian vaccine has been registered. well i think it's good that the russians did something
8:06 am
are the question is whether the axiom that has been developed is whether the efficacy is there and this very important to understand that so far the only trials that the scene has been subjected to was with the volunteers and it was a limited number of people helping people who were tested and there seems to be no are negative effects of its books ministration there's also or information that in the end in the blood of the people have been vaccinated there antibodies against the corrupt lawyers but that doesn't prove that these antibodies actually did and the person from the infection and this is something that can only be tested during large scale phase 3 trials which are yet to be done so i think it's really premature to announce that there's something which is ready to. let alone detroit on millions of people how long do you think in your opinion then should we wait
8:07 am
until we know it's safe to use. well as always the devil is in the details so basically we are talking the normal requirement would be tens of thousands help people or couple in tears from different cohorts in terms of age health and whatever and this has to be a double blind study where some people would be receiving the placebo and other ways would be receiving the heart the actual big scene and then you need to do some statistical tests to see whether in the time that the labs after the administration of the book seen there would be indeed less people who would want develop the code with 900 actions symptoms let alone die from whatever compared to the control group . and this is a long study that cannot be done in less than in my opinion 3 to 6 months and then there will be what's called these 4 where people have been vaccinated will be followed up during a longer period of time to make sure that there's more respect clear examples out
8:08 am
there where for example the extreme developed in france was administered in the philippines and you know several 100 kids this was against a dying virus so this is really this is a serious issue in your opinion and that's just clear this up is it to. register or has russia jumped the gun emerged at this to worry or is this just part of the process so once it's being registered then much wider trials can go ahead. well people keep saying that we are now in this war 'd situation where you know rules can be bent and this is indeed happening also in the u.k. and the us in the united states but there's only so much time you can gain by disregarding safety right unstated is a paramount concern in this kind of thing where you have millions of people were executed. so personally i think that it was better to her and be on the safe side rather than start administering this to want teachers and of doctors who in
8:09 am
russia at least cannot say no they can be put in the situation they were it would have to so essentially as a laboratory in which they put on test subjects. no information as far as i'm aware russia hasn't published any information on its research to think it should. well that's that's a concern and the who world health organization also has this kind of concerns because normally these scientific breakthroughs the medical breakthroughs are far announced not true the public officials or the media but through normal channels and the normal channels being the reputable peer reviewed international sensitive journals and world they come only institute whose main developer at this exceeding keeps saying that they're going to publish this in due course so far nobody in the whole world world can actually assess whether the claims which are being made are
8:10 am
indeed valid ok constantly look fascinating to talk to appreciate your time this afternoon i was consistent so that in all of professor of life sciences of moscow's health institute of science and technology thank you. now there have been further there has been a further night of disturbances in better roofs 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 at arm rest is now turned deadly to one protester was confirmed killed overnight to become the 1st casualty of a crisis that is unlikely to fade anytime soon. i just take in people that i doing i think. i've swallowed us a few years ago i've come out but i want to leave in
8:11 am
a free and peaceful country for goodness that if you. want the most how much of this mass that is going on can you take i don't understand we're told. but it is the worst civil unrest bellerose to seen since the country emerged from the soviet union nearly 30 years ago some protesters are also resorting to pet for bombs and building barricades disturbing videos also emerged taking of a car being driven at a riot officer presently shown coming while insisting the police response is appropriate in the face of mounting concern from abroad including steps. 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 intimidation tactics against
8:12 am
opposition candidates and detentions of peaceful protesters and journalists marred the process of learning the 30 people around $25.00 police officers have been injured legs hands broken they would deliberately here's it so they responded why are you crying and the response will be adequate we will not allow you to tear the country apart which is the struggle but there have also been a number of low level protests today from better russian citizens living abroad here in moscow for example there was a gathering outside the embassy as ex-pats called for a change back home a number of russians gathered to the man during the release of russian journalists who've been detained in minsk in a prank or talks us through now 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
8:13 am
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
8:14 am
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 was right police offices where 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 meters away i should say they didn't beat me they behaved relatively well as well as riot police can behave as usual they put a plastic tonico my hands but didn't tighten it too much it was difficult to breathe so i didn't have enough force to climb on to the vehicle and 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 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
8:15 am
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 visit with me and i'm renting simeone pier 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 who that looks like simul him but not his clothes so i forgot about it and on monday it turns out it was him see what the dish is that one is that is to known and others in the long list of journalists no matter russian or not who were abused violence against journalists is unacceptable we are in produce 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 word is being spread in some
8:16 am
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. well the main opposition candidate who's publicly rejected the election results has fled to neighboring lithuania thread on a ticket of sky says that she understands the reaction it may cause but she did it for her children. 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
8:17 am
start to hate. well joining us now is the world affairs journalist and broadcaster new clarkie very welcome as usual good afternoon neal if you think the ticking of skies move now to lithuania is that can affect her supporters protesting back. i think it will do if her supporters are being encouraged to get out on the streets and fight a result and yet the person 'd they're actually supporting is fled the country from somewhere else i don't think that that's the cause much good she should i think a state in belarus i think that's where that's the place where she's at she stood in the elections she wants to protest the result if that's what she wants to do she should be in your own country so i think it is a mistake on her point of view to do that and i think that it will i think it will affect that that the campaign and i think it's extraordinary isn't it that we have this this this obviously things have been greatly stirred up in belarus at the moment and it's quite ironic that the opposition part of there. are
8:18 am
teeth of a large part of that pretty actually is that he didn't lock down the population in 2020 so you have this great irony that we've got the circle democratic opposition berating a country's leader for not introducing the kind of very author a terry of measures that we've had in britain and france and spain and italy in the grounds of freedom so in other words it's quite ironic that look at franco is now being attacked for not imposing lockdowns not imposing banditry masks and all these other restrictive measures by the so-called democratic opposition of that quite extraordinary to on a mission together because many people. not having cream fair elections. those protests and term violent and i know to can of skies our supporters not to confront the police but it doesn't look like that message is getting through do you expect to see a lot more violence. i think we've seen this this film this movie before haven't we
8:19 am
where we have united states and our. in other countries say even before a vote is cast that we will not accept this result that whatever happens if you couldn't go when you were to accept it and that that encourage you sent people to go out go out and the agent provocateurs the idea cook also go out there and provoke violence hoping that the response from the author of his move could then be used which could then be used against you or it isn't a deal it is to my spur 'd. the government so i think that is that that is what we show ukraine of course most 2014 looks to be playing at the moment in belarus. from what you've seen from a on the feel as though it is a minority that have violence and most these protests a peaceful or do you feel there isn't a violent mood amongst those out in the streets. well let's think about this logically if the aim of these protests is to dislodge the velour singh government and president bush and co then. they will be violence because of course what they
8:20 am
want is to have the the overreaction or or spot on the operatives that is violent people getting killed which the good many used to have those who want to syria to changing by the west bank come up and say look people have died stepaside look at franco sanctions et cetera and you could create a much more big international story so it is in the interests of those who want look at franco gone for the for the protests to become violent otherwise what would you get you would just get people out in the streets every night in the standoff that could carry on for months or months can that i can just quickly. is thought to be considering curfews is likely to inflame the situation or would it solve the problem. it would be quite ironic if he would do that because we've had many countries around the world in 2020 overcoaching 'd of ours and we haven't had them in belarus so would it be ironic if you were to introduce it you'd probably get the same people who would be cheering on curfews in other countries using it as a sign of what a terrible dictator the money's so i don't think it will question terribly good
8:21 am
move it may be whatever happens and let's face it if he does if he doesn't it's going to be criticized because there's a lot of people around the world who want to see him out of various reasons and democracy is not one of them ok neal always good to tell you that was new clark who will. caution mistakes in the u.k. for thank you. thanks. revenues governments and the prime minister meanwhile have resigned after mounting public can get their following last tuesday's devastating chemical explosions the number of deaths is now thought to be over 200 and hundreds of thousands have been left homeless also there have been days of protests as local squarely blame the government citing years of in demick corruption a middle east correspondent for slate reports now close to one of the overnight disturbances. 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
8:22 am
the parliament building we're now in one of the side streets here 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 it really are 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 designed 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 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. it.
8:23 am
was. the it. was her. it 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 a retreat he 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 to some even towards us but as i say the situation
8:24 am
in baby to a lot of anger a lot of frustration not only about the explosion at the port of call so on the whole mismanagement of the government and its failure to take accountability and responsibility this is actually the 2nd governments had to resign in march of 2 months in solitary a government to resign engine turbo last year and then a really good managers of captured that was that you want so it may well be the person you know remains in power as the church of prime minister for most of 2 so you are for once served just as 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 to all here was that it seems that people wanted new parliamentary elections in the hope the new kind of goods would emerge well the same old model where there is the past 30 years and you get a new obsession you. now there is almost nothing left of the site where nearly
8:25 am
$3000.00 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded but the repercussions are being felt across the city and the country the already stretched health service has found itself overwhelmed by the thousands of injured fictionists and wish fans of homes and businesses now destroyed it's left an incalculable toll on families and their livelihoods but it does include a couple on their wedding day we are about to show you at the time simply trying to fill what should have been the happiest day of their lives luckily they did survive along with their family who described what they went. to.
8:26 am
i was screaming because i was afraid that i might find some of my family missing. something bad happens and the. most terrible moment was when we heard the loud explosion. and when we heard the scream and we were looking at each other it's now if any of us had been hurt. or dead one minute and then the wedding took place in a miserable state of mind because we knew that there were wounded in dead and there was chaos and missing people the groom and the bride and everyone else were confused thank god they got married but their state of mind was bad. during the explosion and i was sitting here on the sofa and we were eating chick peas. look at the blood on the window. on the day this calamity happened there was no hospital to receive the patient. and my sister stayed looking for 12 hours and called the hospital and they were told
8:27 am
that they were unable to receive anyone but it was. my eyes and head were all affected by the explosion was a time i feel better. watching i think just coming to us from the afternoon here most good to have the company back to the headlines and i'm more stories just i. wasn't under make no certainly no borders i'm just blind to nationalities. as a muddled up with the we don't look like seem to be sticking. to. judgement
