things like voter suppression building more prisons you see gerrymandering sorts of democratic practices. in the world the real world. of the. russia claims to have developed the world's 1st corona virus vaccine holo clinical trials have yet to be completed the health minister does say it's been tested and is safe to come. on the streets of battery seem to be lining up for a 3rd night of unrest following the recent presidential elections police have once again started blocking off public squares and detaining people meanwhile in beirut people gather at the port where the devastating chemical blast occurred exactly

a week ago it does come a day after the country's government collapsed and the cabinet quit on mass media huge pressure from protesters. good evening welcome to 7 o'clock here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now russia is claiming to be leading the global race against the coronavirus president putin says the country has the 1st was the 1st to register a vaccine which is now ready for mass testing although russia has been criticised for not revealing any details about its research with more details his room costs are. the name of the new vaccine is nick fawy with their 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 as have of this and if we can use usenet as you would know as far as i knew this morning the 1st vaccine from corona virus in the world was registered among the country's health minister to further inform us about that 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 see about the progress of how this vaccine was developed the 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 inoculate 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 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 register there's been some concern as. 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 they're saying that this is how they were able to do this very quickly well ahead of the russian sovereign wealth fund which is financing the vaccine research i outlined what steps do you need to be taken. real radio received tentative interest and prelim in their 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. produced in 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 took up clinical trials in

different nations we are open borders of those countries of which seeing and those 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 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 there is a specific proprietor at best that got money institute developed that basically tracks very efficient and subordinate a bad thing specifically as a spike was a colonel virus well that welcoming the news members of russia's science research community that we spoke until today have said that there is still a lot today. but the limited number of people help the people who were tested and there seems to be no. negative effects of its books. there's also or

information in the and in the blood of the people who have been vaccinated and what he gets to corroborate but that doesn't prove that the antibodies actually did and that. the infection and this is something that can only be tested during. these 3 trials which are yet to be done so i think it's really premature to announce that this is something which is ready to. let alone be destroyed or millions of people you know the last fight here us russian government in the last at a lot of money into development of it mocks him and that's why our arsenal so good because it was faster during the last 5 years so there are 2 santos that developed democracy and both sometimes are only famous for russia so far so good as the money institute in moscow and to circle the center is the thought institute in most of yours so these are 2 surplus of anti-viral experts that are actually actually it's

pretty loose so in nature really produced 2 different factions. now the unrest triggered by the weekend's disputed presidential election in bellary use is expected to spill into a 3rd night police have already cordoned off public squares in the capital minsk and several people have reportedly been detained this stuff follows 2 days of increasingly violent clashes between protesters and police that led to charges of arrests from one person killed earlier today people could be seen bringing flowers to the location where the demonstrator lost lives. during the protests in minsk several reporters were detained while covering the clashes earlier the better russian authorities released several russian journalists who were taken to the russian embassy and driven by car to moscow. one of the reporters simeon peg of could be seen in early footage from the clashes being knocked unconscious and dragged away by security forces.

i just take in the people that are doing i think. oh yes i've swallowed yes yes i've come out but i want to leave in a free and peaceful country for goodness that you. welcome was how much of this mass this is going on can you take i don't understand we're told. it is the worst civil unrest batteries the same since the collapse of the soviet union even 30 years ago protesters have been building roadblocks and throwing petrol bombs videos all for a marriage taking of a car being driven out an officer meanwhile president insists that the police response has been in order to spite mounting concern from abroad. the u.s.

is deeply concerned about the conduct of the election which was not free and fair severe restrictions on access for candidates intimidation tactics against opposition candidates and detentions of peaceful protesters and journalists marred the process around. the room $25.00 police officers have been injured legs hands broken they would deliberately hit so they responded why are you crying now the response will be adequate we will not allow you to tear the country apart. well meanwhile the main opposition candidate has fled to neighboring lithuania saying that she did it for the safety of her family. 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 or better russian citizens living abroad have been staging their own

protests to have side the embassy in moscow here demonstrators demanding change at home a number of russians also gathered demanding the release of russian journalists who had been detained in minsk with more his it. think of the following situation in any 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 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 right please

come behave 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 i just fell on it . so these were just single isolated cases and i can tell you that was. 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 we're journalists 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 office with me and i'm arranging simul in 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 who that looks like simul him but not his clothes so i forgot about it and on monday it turns out it was him he will eventually be sent to the nice to see known and others in the long list of journalists no matter russian or not were abused violence against journalists is not acceptable 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 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 bell rues with

protesters unfortunately possibly with journalists and police officers as well. as a prank there which in the same broadcast neil clark believed that there might be some people deliberately staring the protest. if the 8 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 want is to have the the over reaction or or response from the north or it is it is violent people getting killed which is a good many used to have those who want to see origi changing by the west bank come up and say look people have died stepaside look and co sanction us etc i think we've seen this this film this movie before haven't we where we have united states and our allies in other countries say even before a vote is cast that we will not accept this result whatever happens it look and go we we won't accept it and that that encourages then people to go out go out and the

agent provocateurs the idea who also go out there and provoke violence that the response from the author were to be used which could then be used against you or it isn't it to legitimize further 'd. the government. in beirut the people there are currently gathering for a peaceful protest around the outskirts of the port it does come exactly a week after the massive chemical blast reduced much of the city to ruins the number of those killed tops more than 200 with hundreds of thousands left homeless huge demonstrations against the authorities have been held daily several 1000 protested on the streets yesterday under the slogan bury the authorities 1st they didn't even stop when it was announced that the cabinet had quit and they want the entire parliament to resign to hundreds of people were wounded in clashes with police and one officer was killed to gas and rubber bullets were used against the crag's when they stormed government buildings where the explosion has taken

a devastating toll on families on we are about to show you were filming what was meant to be one of the happiest days of their lives thankfully they survived along with their family who described what they went through. i was screaming because i was afraid that i might find some of my family missing. something bad happened to them. the most terrible moment was when we heard the loud explosion. and when we heard scream and we were looking at each other to now if any of us had been hurt. or dead and that the wedding took place in a miserable state of mind because we knew that there were wounded and 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 states of mind was bad. during the explosion and i was sitting here on the sofa and we were eating chickpeas. look at the blood on the window. on the day this calamity happened there was no hospital to receive a patient a sister stayed with me for 12 hours and called the hospital and they replied that they were unable to receive anyone as. my eyes and head were all affected by the explosion with time i feel better. not it's not going to take a quick break now we'll have more news take. seemed

wrong. just don't call. me old yet to shape out his name to educate and gain trade equal to trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart when chance to look for common ground. as the us economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the way of opportunity the reality of it is we're not financial inequality and the lack of affordable housing for

a living minimum wage gave many people no choice though there's been a problem with the city voters turned over to told me stay away i don't hold this. stuff the food or the food is the answer because yes the records resource the most vulnerable were abandoned on the streets to become invisible cops.

welcome back now despite being the height of summer it is actually time to cover up in paris where masks have become compulsory even out on the streets it is part of efforts to quell a worrying spiking kobita infections in the french capital from their shoulder to be sent this report. 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 moscow. areas indicated on this map in red show where the new rules will be inforced the aim

is to slow down there is option of the covered $1000.00 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 around the busy streets wearing the mask is now obligatory for anyone walking here along the banks of the saying though some are already ignoring it with paris in the grip of a heat wave some have questioned the logic behind that decision sensible. especially here yesterday i think it was 40 degrees so the mosque is hard to take it is indeed difficult to swear to it's uncomfortable it makes it even more sikh what i don't invest in the decision because we already walk all day was mosques on buttons a street we are not in contact with people for long. you know her many people with khun a virus so it's important to wear a mask for good health. i see that on the street

a lot of people do not wear mosques i don't think that. checks will be carried out to ensure compliance but in all the french cities more extreme measures of being taken. are being held here in nice cameras equipped with the loud speak is being used in a bid to remind people that masks must be worn so much have questioned the signs behind a mask wearing 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 best because it is true that wearing masks is important as they protect others and ourselves but what is difficult to

accept is that masks are believe it or in some places where we are not in danger and where we wouldn't put others in danger jurists might find it confusing when they come here and there monitored by cameras obliged to wear masks and here in los because reminded everybody to keep their distance i know it is annoying but i wear a mask even when it's 30 degrees i prefer to stand at home and not being able to work i think mosques are effective in crowded places welcome public transport on main street or in shopping malls even the french health minister has conceded that masks hold to the transmission of. little so he said to the advice is to stand for france needs to hang on the french need to hang on you've 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 world. but as france 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 jollity been ski ati paris. 6 powers including saudi arabia have backed extending an arms embargo on iran in a letter to the un u.s. resolution will be put to the vote later this week but it is widely expected to hit a veto hurdle the security council in the meantime starting work as washington special envoy for iran is a veteran diplomat with quite a track record has gone quarter explains. meet washington's friendly new envoy to iran mr elliott abrams who once had this to say

a military strike at iran's nuclear facilities should be viewed as a realistic option he's anything but the new kid on the block though in fact he's got a very long record of being not exactly diplomatic. you might have heard about his most recent exploits in venezuela where he was appointed on boy just weeks before the failed coup against president nicolas maduro no dictatorship lasts for ever on the sanctions there are plans to reinforce the effort the purpose of the effort is to diminish the resources available to the regime it's very hard i would say for me to see. a dictator such as from the girl can really have a role to play in the building of a democratic venezuela. but venezuela wasn't elliot's only latin american adventure back in the 1980 s. he played an enterable part in trying to overthrow the governments of el salvador and nicaragua i'm glad i'm all up for ronald reagan's administration.

it appears to be an incident which is at least being significantly misused at the very best by the guerrillas. last but definitely not least a twist the iran contra affair when the us government facilitated the sale of weapons to iran and hoped to use the profits to fund drug smuggling concert rebels fighting the socialist government in nicaragua although the reagan administration was able to skirt the borders of legality abram's admittedly guilty. to lying to congress about it and was given a free pass by president george h.w.

bush i fail to understand why members of this committee or the american people should find any testimony that you give today to be truthful washington says abrams as its new envoy but for turan it's anything but new. no difference between john bolton and brian hooker abrams when it comes to the us iran policy american officials have bitten off more than they could chew same applies to my pompei o'donnell trump and successes in addition to promising to suffocate iran with maximum pressure sanctions trump still hasn't provided a better nuclear deal than the one he took the us out of 2 years ago but who knows given another 4 years and maybe it'll get done if and when we will. we will make deals with the rand very quickly washington's been flopping sanctions that embargoes on iran for decades and you know what the country still kicking but don't

worry throwing another war hawk at iran will work this time washington promises. artificial intelligence could well be the future but it is still far from perfect at least that is according to a u.k. university study which claims that the technology can suffer from racial bias. their presentations of intelligent machines and our future with them are back to the white racial their whiteness a proxy for how we perceive they see this pancho. villa landing suggested the us quite naturally i was hoping to see you again if you think

of me as your friend to drop a little note in the documents and get in the mix all the censure you city for years she told you. you. can. do. you mind if i ask you a personal question thank you please wait as your operating system is initiated. hello i'm here. very serious you're the best thanks mr big and beautiful. to live. in peace for this is jim's our racialized is white that it would have dangerous consequences for he was there not the perceived whiteness of ai make it more difficult for people of color to advance in the field.

you're watching the extended news our hair or not he will be back with more stories just after this broke. but the pandemic no certainly no borders and islam to nationalities. has emerged we caught up with turkey we don't know the facts in the whole world needs to be. chief. judge of. crisis so what is the sentence. we can do better we should be better. everyone is contributing each or own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been masked so many good
