no question that the. russia claims to have developed the world's 1st corona virus vaccine although clinical trials have yet to be completed the health minister says it's been tested and is safe. the streets of belarus are seemingly lining up for a 3rd night of unrest following the recent presidential election police have once again started blocking off public squares and detaining people. and in beirut people gather at the port where the devastating chemical blasts occurred a week ago it comes a day after the country's government collapsed when the cabinet quit amid huge

pressure from protesters. watching are to international bring your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. russia's claiming to be leading the global race against the coronavirus president putin says the country is the 1st to register a vaccine which is now ready for mass testing next week i'm using the she would you 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 scene was developed at moscow's institute its 1st clinical trials were said to have been successful and mass production is expected to begin in september medical workers teachers and those considered to be in other high risk groups will be the 1st to receive it its plan released to the general public is set

for the new year the developers say 2000 more people will be vaccinated shortly as research continues meanwhile more than a 1000000000 doses of the russian vaccine have been requested by more than 20 countries nevertheless there are many who remain skeptical about this vaccine including health experts in the us although welcoming the news members of russia's science and research community we've spoken to say there's still much to be done. because a limited number of people help the people who are tested and there seems to be no . negative effects of its books ministration is also or information in the and in the blood of the people who have been vaccinated there and what he's against the corrupt players but that doesn't prove that these antibodies actually did and. from the infection and this is something that can only be tested during a large scale these 3 trials which are yet to be done so i think it's really

premature to announce that there is something which is ready to. let alone be destroyed or millions of people you know the last fight here russian government in the last of a lot of money into development of him all of them and that's why our arsenal so good because it was faster during the last 5 years so there are 2 santos then developed them all of our sins and both sometimes are only famous for russia so far something has got money institute in moscow and to set the sun to it is the very thought at least if you look in most of yours so these are 2 centers of untidy viral experts that are actually. so in nature really produce 2 different versions. of the unrest triggered by the weekend's disputed presidential election and belarus is expected to spill into a 3rd night place have already cordon off public squares in the capital and several people have reportedly been detained.

oh. i. just say can people but i do not think you are. going to. have some little guest here yes i've come out but i want to leave in a free and peaceful country. baltimore sun how much of this mass that's going on can you take i don't understand until. we're now joined live by our correspondent roman cusser of what are the latest developments. well we're currently

standing outside the bella russian embassy here in moscow where a sudden desire to rally continues for a 3rd day in a row as well the embassy is right behind me but let me just to show you a picture of what was going on right here there are about 373-2350 of protesters behind me there are more here on that use day than there were previously . in the 2 days before this a similar sun exaggerates the rallies are being held in other cities as well in russia it says st petersburg and a new crane it's kiev where rally began just recently meanwhile protests in the bel-air reuss continue for a 3rd day in a row and lloyd foresman said continue using various crowd control equipment such as a stun grenades a rubber bullets and tear gas at the moment. cements city center

is closed off the police are controlling the entire area subway in the center of the city has been closed as well at least 7 stations as i'm being told now health ministry of the roots reports that some hundreds of people are being treated for various injuries in hospitals across the country and old soul from the news one person had died as a result of the process of the protests and the investigative committee all 5 below resign now looking into the circumstances of how he actually died now bill a russian president at xander look at shank all he says that said the lawyer for spence responds to protests on the streets of belarus was a proportionate let's have a listen. but on the the city people around $25.00 police officers have been injured your legs hands broken they would deliberately hears it so they responded

you play it why are you crying the response will be adequate so we will not allow you to tear the country apart which it well they stood alone but it was about. some footage show from belarus show that protesters were indeed shell throwing. molotov cocktails at the police and. meanwhile a presidential candidate from the opposition a stiff mana. has left bella reuss and she joined her family reportedly in lithuania that rumors in various social media claimed that she either fled the country other people said that she was forced to leave the country after the next and however she herself denied all of those allegations let's have a listen. here religious bigot she and 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 stop tate. now the european union are calling on the russian authorities to beginning. with the opposition in order to prevent any further of law and the say they're also. looking to take action against those responsible for boylan's those responsible for groundless arrests and their rigging of the election now the bill russian president alexander lukashenko says that the authorities have irrefutable they have irrefutable evidence for. for the fact that these protests were all staged from abroad and minsk says that they're ready to share that information with other

countries as well also in the news on choose about the bill russia protests while some of the russian journalists had actually been released now russian journalists were covering the protests in belarus and were arrested in the very beginning of the rallies and many of them have already crossed the border. and russia their safe. artists are among us are reporting live thank you. now for further analysis we're joined by ben arest editor publisher of be any an expert on russia and eastern europe now we're expecting to see further protests this evening do you think there will also be violence once again. almost certainly the police have been extremely brutal and what's remarkable if you compare this to ukraine or some of the other kind of revolutions that we've had across the region. better russian protests become very violent very quickly the police have gone in

and they've gone in hard. as we heard from our reporter there there is claims from look shankar that these protests are being infected from outside the country what do you make of that. i think that's clearly nonsense again we had like 5 of these revolutions also across the region and there's never been any foreign players in in any of them at the street level there's been some political interference with you know congressmen and what have you lying in to make speeches and speak on squares in terms of people on the ground i think it's nonsensical and there's no reason there's no reason to look at showing that there's been brits this injects that's been poles involved and they're acting as probable cause but dearly this is an excuse because look at shank has been backed into a corner his own people have risen up against him after 26 years in office and he can't accept his whole. regime is built on the myth he's the father of country that

he's extremely popular and that's simply not the case. this he had any hope of quelling this unrest or could this actually lead to him leaving the presidency i think on balance the consensus is that he will write this out he holds all the levers of power and as long as the security forces remain loyal and that's a big if he will be able to force this because at the end of the day there's very little but protesters can do i mean they're building barricades last night they're shutting down the city every day after 7 pm however that can only go on for so long they have no leave is in order to. sell on the same course. and at the moment that looks unlikely having said that the various. reports today for example that the soldiers and militias have been resigning their posts and there's been reports of some of the riot police putting down their shields and

changing sides so the situation remains very fluid it's hard to call on balance the percent is still very much and. this started off with the peaceful protests right after the election results came out and it has quickly quickly escalated yes we've been seeing all the brutal evidence from the police themselves but also the protesters using fireworks beating the police and we also had that video of one car ramming into a police officers as well what do you make of how the protesters are reacting to the situation. i think it's a quid pro quo as you said it's been peaceful i mean the run up to the election campaign taken over. ran was extremely peaceful i mean there were more like. people coming singing dancing bracing a message of change embracing her message and call for free and fair elections. leave and look the same goes problem here and the essence of this problem is that he's actually on the stuff the force is relatively few and the whole country has

rebelled against his only option is to use the limited resources he has and intimidate the people to prevent them coming out because although most of the action we're seeing in the videos you're selling largely coming from ins this is actually going on in 20 or 30 different towns and a lot of the elite troops have been brought up to minsk which of course is the epicenter the one that everyone's looking at but then in the regional towns the police losing control of those cities where the people are taken over the city taken over the main square and the police around able to break up to mr ations and that has the danger for the bush and just lose control of the rest of the country even if he courses. the demonstrations in the minutes and then the effect if he has lost control and he forced a fled to flee of course we'll be following those demonstrations as you mentioned that are happening across the country we've been speaking with ben arris editor and publisher of be any thank you for your time and your comments. in

beirut people are currently gathering for a protest around the outskirts of the port it comes exactly a week after the massive chemical blasts reduced much of the city to ruins the number of those killed now tops more than 200 with hundreds of thousands left homeless huge demonstrations against the authorities have been held daily across live now to our correspondent paula fleer who is in beirut paula what's happening right now. well this is the 4th night of protests hero in front of the parliament building in the last hour with the protesters say fired at the barracks that lead to the parliament building on the other side would be police and the army that you are looking at now they managed to push them back so we've actually been running for the last hour and avoiding tear gas now they've closed off this road and they waiting to see if any of the protesters surge forward i was talking to the protesters earlier and they say it's not enough that the

lebanese prime minister and his cabinet resigned they want to see the resignation of the entire parliament itself at the same time they calling for an international investigation into what happened with the beirut blast at the port they don't believe that the government will deal a sufficient investigation although the government itself is saying that this is a sovereign matter and so it's not going to heat the course for an international investigation the situation here is still very very tense the protests are not as large as the initial demonstration on saturday night but certainly when i talk to the protesters the anger is very imminent the anger is there as much as it was a few days ago and certainly beirut remains as tense as ever so we witnessing the 4th night of protests the 4th night of clashes here in beirut back to you in the studio articles there reporting live from beirut thank you stay safe out there.

the explosion in beirut took a devastating toll on families there one couple were about to show you were filming what was meant to be the happiest day of their lives thankfully they survived and along with their family describe what they went through. i was screaming because i was afraid that i might find some of my family missing were injured or something bad happen 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 in dead and there

was chaos and missing people you agree even 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 chickpeas. look at the blood on the window. on the day this calamity happened there was no hospital to receive the patient a sister stayed with me for 12 hours and called the hospital and they were told that they were unable to receive anyone but. my eyes and head were all affected by the explosion with time i feel better. still have europe's health authorities call for a lockdown measures to be brought back i mean fears of

a 2nd wave of covert infections on that after the short break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one from day shouldn't let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development that only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. welcome back with covert cases spiking and a number of european countries health authorities are calling for certain restrictions to be reintroduced and according to the latest risk assessment it needs to happen sooner rather than later to stop the spread our charlotte n.c. has the details. european health authorities is urge countries to reconsider imposing certain restrictions as this in the uptick in the coded 19 transmissions rates this is the european center for disease prevention and control and it is an

aging member states to take action now in countries where there is evidence that is suggestive of increasing transmission the risk of further escalation is high for those countries the risk is very high if they do not implement or reinforce multiple measures including physical distancing and contact tracing now the report talks about reinstating control measures while it doesn't specifically absa case new york down seen here in europe it does state that when those lockdowns happened there was a dramatic decrease in the transmission rate over could be 19 this comes as the european commission is also urging member states to take action together to avoid a 2nd wave of uncooled action this is a particularly the closure over the border is the situation is now volatile with some member states experiencing falling numbers and some unfortunately he experiencing a rising number of cases we know. that in view of these developments some member

states decided to maintain will reintroduce certain restrictions to cross border movement sometimes in a rather uncoordinated manner this comes as member states and the u.k. are imposing quarantine only individuals coming from certain countries now the european commission is at pains to state that the freedom of movement within the european borders easy even for to have despite the warnings of this upsurge in transmission rates all the could be 19 and the new restrictions in place for example here in france which means now in certain areas jewels you must wear a face mask there are many people who are still flouting the rules particularly down in the south of france over the weekend where 10000 people are said to gather in the legal raid so while authorities are urging more and more caution it seems that there are more and more people willing to flout those rules. 6

gulf powers including saudi arabia have backed plans to extend an arms embargo on iran and a letter to the u.n. a u.s. resolution will be put to a vote later this week but it's widely expected to be vetoed at the security council meanwhile a veteran diplomat with a colorful past has started working as washington special envoy for a rent a quarter has a story. i mean 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 quite amala 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 abrams admittedly killed. 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 who cool elliott abrams when it comes to the us iran policy american officials have bitten off more than they could chew same applies to my pump a 0 donald 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 give him another 4 years and maybe it will get done if and when we win we will make deals with the rand very quickly washington's been flopping sanctions and embargoes on iran for decades and you know what the country's still kicking but don't worry throwing another war hawk at iran will work this time washington promises. artificial intelligence may be the future but it is still far from perfect at least that's according to a u.k. university study which claims the technology it can suffer from racial bias. the presentations of intelligent machines in our future with them are back to the white racial bring their whiteness to proxy for how we perceive their status pancho

. landing suggested robots 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 on sensu you do 35 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. a series you're the best thanks mr big and beautiful. and.

in cases where this is jim's our racialized is white that it would have dangerous consequences for he was there not the perceived whiteness of ai who make it more difficult for people of color to advance in the field. that's our breakdown of today's headlines for now but if you're looking for more you can always follow us on twitter or facebook for up to the minute reports. show seemed wrong. i mean you get to shape out. you can stick out to it and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

here we talk about all those crazy problems out there and then during the summer we hit you with solutions that's right so lucian's and today we're going to be talking with. nose of coin floor dot. u.k. . illustrations but it's put it this time not just get up but just tell us. which not . eat. the food. march or i'm going to. put up.

the push to much needed some more some. sudden fullest and illegal take over of a government by a small group. rather than revolutionaries will soon just conduct small group the operations when you have a tiny group of people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure that's the best don't get together and take it back. please or sacrifice some . places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation and so

you see things like voter suppression. building more prisons you seem gerrymandering all sorts of undemocratic practices where well if you look out world we're well into the forest world and there's no question that the coup d'etat has. indeed supercool this is true but the one business show you can't afford to miss on their montage they are going to washington coming up by the donald trump signed an executive order on one americans believe as top dog.
