joining us. he's the author of the price of borrow why deflation is the. future this book has caught fire amongst the. communities it's really a fantastic book. taking a trip to what is hoped to be the pandemic panacea production line r.t. visits the factory making rushes now approved scene after getting orders. also this hour full day of protests in beirut for the families of the missing following the huge explosion meg grief is replacing one family with 3 firefighters describe the agony of waiting for news. and. she can know. when she will know what happened to him. she will no longer.

sees a 3rd night of anti-government protests following the disputed election there that is despite calls from the opposition candidate to stop after she herself fled the country. hello good afternoon welcome just come 2 o'clock here in moscow you're watching international now russia received orders for about 1000000000 of. the corona virus vaccine from 20 nations there's been a cautious welcome know from scientists around the world after russia became the 1st country to give regulatory approval to a treatment. you know who can use using a student as far as i know the 1st vaccine for corona virus in the world was registered but i already know that it's working effectively and forming

a tough immunity. i hope that the russians have actually definitively proven that the vaccine is safe and effective i seriously doubt that they've done that it is not about being 1st it is about having a try and see vaccine which will be given that's the important part to hundreds of millions maybe even billions of people the problem is that we know very little because the russian authorities are not being very transparent and so i am very skeptical about what's happening in russia or the vaccine itself was developed at moscow's gamma layer institute initial clinical trials are said to have been successful 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 or released to the general public is then expected for the new year while the developers do expect to around 2000 people to be vaccinated shortly as the research progress is more than 1000000000 doses of the russian vaccine have

been requested from different countries abroad however there are a few skeptics to the concern is whether enough conclusive testing has been carried out at this stage one quarter has been to visit the facility where sputnik 5 as it is called is being produced it's hoped to be a game changer in the fight against the corona virus and while many questions remain unanswered about russia's new vaccine the authorities are confident enough to go forward with mass production and we were lucky enough to get an exclusive look into how it's done. the drug is nicknamed st nick 5 hundreds of thousands of units will be produced

here the sheer speed at which russian scientists have been able to develop this vaccine has raised a lot of eyebrows across the world especially since russia's health ministry approved it before the end of the 3rd phase of testing still all the initial testing phases were done without any problems and the management of this factory seems to have a very positive outlook. is that it's absolutely accurate that specific antibodies protective n.c. produce being formed as unknowns that's a vaccination we can also say that for the time volunteers have been injected with this vaccine the number of antibodies has been sufficient and remain circulating in the blood protecting them here's where the final stage of the production process takes place where the vaccine itself is inspected for the purpose of quality control if the units passon specs in there are labeled and prepared for packaging the factory said mechanic was able to tell us a bit more about what exactly takes place here. so generally we can pack up to

120000 miles a day those ready to go into production are loaded onto a conveyor and after that to a special marking machine then they go to the box i'm getting a package of. the factory began vaccine production so quickly after moscow gave its approval that workers are still in the process of creating a packaging facility for the end products it just goes to show how eager russia is to get this vaccine into the hands of those who need it most dominant corder r.t. . well the head of the russians over in wealth fund that is investing in the country's research talked about the new vaccine in more to. welcome the russians people as a wall the very body or tools a virus a very tired of the restrictions of very tired old the refuse to come on. those are

fags one of the contras is approved in which we believe the various state very active great multitude of. the older people now have better hope to resume a normal life is a vaccination. while i'm confident enough to inject good looks in myself my wife my of and your 4 year old parents and i think it's very important that we understand the science defines a vaccine so russia great story knowledge which you can get my interest groups has developed very successful in all of our seeing and mercy and then basically they're not virus just proved to be very similar to merce so we could great science and will like that there is a bit of care has been done really applied very closely it was a fight they're not hiring you tend to chill for auction because. everything will

be almost i've seen to date i knows a 100 percent always a line cheers elop very strong immune response or significant side effects of 100 percent protection of animals forest where is the level of immunity. it will produce a stronger immune response going forward we believe because all the ones who counsels do it front of the number i respect there is a used the lid was a vaccine and that means that our vaccine response will last longer hopefully it will be in more than a year our scientists believe that years but of course for this effect. will be needed to really understand the duration of the vaccination. and ever since people are starting to receive from asian about how we're seeing more and more interest but frank a lot of western media outlets a lot access to our information so i think now we have break ins through this

information bear is it exists and the more people understand what we can do they go because there's a website to learn about the exchange more countries become interested even today we had major bondsman by israel serbia elude us brazil who are interest who or the russian banks you don't work with us on or talk to peter smith professor from. the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine did tell us that covert because of that crisis has meant that the vaccine trials have been accelerated much more the norm. only significant in the sense that there are about 150 different back scenes that are being developed not to my knowledge as yet in license so in that sense it's in court announced that it's the 1st license vaccine unfortunately what we don't know at the moment is what the data were that actually was the basis for the license sure but it sounds as though relatively small numbers

of people who have so far received a spike scenes in which case it's very difficult i would say almost impossible to assess whether the bank scene is actually efficacious or don't know what would have some reservations about knowing that the safety of the vaccine generally new vaccines are not the least until they've been in trials a year or 2 years possibly even 5 years because of the exceptional situation with the suspect because they're 19 and damage. trials are being accelerated. kyra let's turn to beirut now because citizens there wracked with rage and grief turned out again in angry protests exactly a week after the devastating explosions killed more than $200.00 and laid waste to parts of their city huge demonstrations against the authorities have been held

daily on middle east correspondent for a slayer saw some of the latest overnight disturbances. but this is the 4th consecutive night that we've witnessed protests here in front of the parliament building the situation remains as tainted has been for the last few days as you can see behind me the protesters have started a fire and they throwing rocks and bits of pavement at the police officers and the army on the other side now the army has been responding with tear gas at which point the crowd this side surges back what people here are telling me is that they're not satisfied with just the basic nation of the lebanese prime minister. they want to hold hanumant should resign at the same time make one important independent investigation into what happened at the very last they say it's not enough for an internal they have an easy investigation but the government here says that that's what they want to show us what our issue of sovereignty is now the mood is quite volatile it doesn't seem that with the passing of days the protestors here

are in any way becoming satisfied if you just look around you can see that they still a lot of anger they still relatively large numbers showing out on the streets essentially the situation in beirut continues to remain extremely tense and this comes as the numbers of missing suddenly turns into. sami's and son 22 people dead we're not hearing sounds of tear gas so the crowd is starting to move backwards the fear is at any moment the situation here and i can i can actually smell to get the situation is becoming increasingly fault with danger. right behind me is the army is one of tear gas in the air they've managed to push

the protesters so the away from the parliament building and down the streets so we've taken a position just behind the army the straight hero is the rocks and stones of the protesters are throwing and there is the left over smell of tear gas in the air as you can see the riot police some of the army are in full gear they're taking this seriously there has been accused of excessive force and they've admitted that they have used live ammunition and tear gas in the past or sleep reporting that now as well as the civilian casualties. from last week's blast is also anxiety and grief for the families of the firefighters who are still missing they were among the 1st responders the blaze which broke out before the blasts paula has also been hearing about the anguish their relatives face waiting for answers. while relatives are burying their loved ones killed in last week's blast one family can only wish for

that and as the hours slowly tick on they praise are fading tony to ram son grandson and cousin are missing all members of the same firefighting unit that was the 1st to respond now from a group of 10 fighters 4 bodies have been found and 6 are missing the 1st 2 days we were hoping they were live but now we're on the 8th day and now we lost hope now we are hoping that they can bring in mail from their fingers 40 kilometers from the scene of the blast its impact is still being felt this sign says race to peace our heroes of carter bar and posters pinpoint the way to the family's home. was father of 2 daughters the oldest is just 2 and a half years old and keeps asking for her daddy he found her on the way to the blast instead he'll call back later but that phone call never came through our there i told my daughter the 3 of them are praying from up above.

i don't and she can also pray to them they can hear her and hopefully when she grows up she can know her father was a hero and she will know what happened to him. she will know his father died for a reason. was not supposed to go to the fire he volunteered because the driver didn't know the way and he said let's get there even one minute only because maybe we can save his soul his video footage shows him in the bottom left hand corner almost out of the frame calling for backup a minute later the 2nd explosion erupted followed by deadly silence at 1st we were waiting for all of them to come and sit with us and continue our life and then we said that maybe one of them can come home even if he's deformed even if he's burnt anything added least one of them can come home toss any one of them not all of them but this isn't too much they didn't find anything szabo he idolized his uncle and

wanted to serve in the same firefighting unit as him at just 20 years old he was his family's breadwinner and i was only 26 and preparing to get engaged i thought should i hope god help me i don't know how to live any more i can't imagine how can i live now because i only have one son whenever a term here or there i find something for me the belongings how could i live without my son the family says they won't hold a funeral until there is someone or something to bury their way that might not happen or else god that no one feels what we are feeling people cannot tell us rest in peace because there is no one to rest in peace we have found as we finish the interview tony says to me god bless you and your family had something i wish best for him to be sold policia r.t. they would. have to come here from arrival to a running mate will probably. democrat joe biden's pick for vice president but some

of the stories to come just after the break. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led. direct. what is truth what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the

depths. for a mate in the shallows. join me every 1st week on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm sure. i'll see you there. hello again there has been a 3rd night of unrest on the streets of bel-air release following the weekend's to speeches election that handed the country's long time leader a 6th term in office 51 people have been taken to hospital in the last 24 hours according to officials meanwhile how xander lukashenko his main opposition nivel has fled to neighboring lithuania that is sporadic crowds increasingly angry at the result they stuff with riot police using stun grenades and rubber bullets.

some protesters tried to build barricades only for police to dismantle them overnight also minsk thing this video apparently of residents in the apartment block trying to stop what appeared to be police beating up a protester they threw

a door at them it's then claimed that officers began shooting at the windows in response. the internet and batteries for speech back home earlier this morning after being blacked out for days sites might still get cut off again late stay though depending on the severity of any further protests that are expected. takes a look now at the restive post-election better rivers. right now the world is being reminded that one man alexander lukashenko has ruled belarus for a long 26 years and he intends to add another 5 claiming 80 percent of all the ballots from sunday's presidential election how to take next to his name. at the top of vertical power being the head of the government having 80 percent of the vote should voluntarily transfer power to them that's the demand to the dutch influx but that's not something a considerable amount of belorussians believe taking their frustrations onto the streets it started off with a peaceful protests mass of groups coming out and shining flashlights but the tear

gas and rubber bullets started flying and chaos has taken hold. it. was. there are 2 realities and deloris right now and the 1st there is look at shango calling the vote a celebration but one that people are trying to spoil by inciting aggression and spreading misinformation foreign powers media and social media channels are to be blamed as well so look at those reality is that the protesters are bad and the special forces have no choice but to act like this.

but on the other. around 25 police officers have been injured legs broken. they were deliberately hit so they responded why are you crying now no response will be adequate we will not allow you to tear the country apart the 2nd reality though is that of the protesters hundreds of thousands flooding the streets of the country calling for the president to step down and contending authoritarian rule but also posting instructions on how to make multiple cocktails on social media accounts which is literally playing with fire with tensions so high and while we can't ignore the videos of police beating people on the streets we can ignore this clip showing a car ramming into troops in the capital either we haven't judging either of the realities but the international community is condemning the election as neither free nor fair not that they were invited to observe it and they've also expressed concern over the treatment of journalists trying to cover the unrest. very good.

you know that only if. you will not leave. so where does that leave look he's a man largely without friends the westell dubs him in europe's last dictator while he's slowly pushed away his closest ally russia but nevertheless he still claiming victory and his political rivals have either been put in jail or fled the country including his opponent in the election so. i took a very difficult decision i did that by myself my friends family colleagues and husband did not entranced me many will understand me many will judge many will start to hate at this point nothing but chaos reigns in the country nightly protests continue to descend into violence all the president continues to turn the screws on his own citizens everyone is suffering and it's not clear who will win if anyone.

yes by us riot police officers whether the road was blocked and they said no it's not come with us. but we did speak to a political science professor autumn choke from moscow state university about this and he thinks that both sides are equally guilty in their unwillingness to talk to each other. because it is escalating that means that both sides are short sided hair a lack of strategic vision of the situation of trauma our governmental side it would be wise to ask the opposition to the least of their interests so why they are so keen to get rid of the president look a position should also try to find

a way to be integrated into it took into legal political process drive to suggest something that is acceptable to the government but if they just exchange an acceptable ideas with each other the inacceptable demands and exaggerate those demands it's pretty clear that this old imagine with a lot to be accepted by any side. the u.s. senate party's candidate for president joe biden has picked his running mate commander harris has been his rival for the nomination before dropping out and backing him more pain now profiles the woman hoping to be the next. after much anticipation joe biden has finally announced his vice presidential running mate it will be the california senator kaamelott harris who has a long record in california politics as a prosecutor and an attorney general in the state before rising to the rank of u.s. senator now what's quite interesting is that she was one of joe biden's opponents

for the democratic nomination and on the debate stage among other democratic candidates she had some rather harsh words for joe biden she called him out on his record supporting school segregation and she invoked her own life experience to criticize him for it this is what kamel harris said to joe biden you know there was a little girl in california who was part of the fekkai class to integrate her public schools and she was bused to school every day and the little girl was away now kamel harris is known for playing up the idea that there is some kind of russian conspiracy against her she claims that russian bots were targeting her on the internet that russia was out to get hurt cetera probably the most controversial thing about camila harris is her record as a prosecutor in california comma harris locked up the parents of children things who are truant from school she also jailed thousands of people for the crime of smoking marijuana and then in

a recent interview joked about the fact that she smoked marijuana in her south and now tulsi gabbert the democratic candidate and u.s. congresswoman from hawaii called out kamel harris at a debate and significantly hurt her in the polls by highlighting her record as a criminal prosecutor now donald trump has already reacted to the fact that kamel harris was selected as joe biden's running mate here's what he said to me why number one draft pick and we'll see how she works out she did very very poorly in the. primaries as you know he was expected to do well. and she. he was. right around 2 percent. spent a lot of money he had a lot of things happening and so i was a little surprised that it took to so that's donald trump saying that he's pretty surprised in thinking that it's not a very strategic choice now what's also interesting to point out is that kamel harris has quite a record when it comes to issues like police brutality and mass incarceration and

she is very much not the favorite candidate of the black lives matter movement her record as a prosecutor is all over twitter right now being highly scrutinized she could excite the black vote during the primaries she could excite anybody during the primaries the left of the party the progressives have a lot of ammunition to use against her they're not happy when she was attorney general and a law enforcement prosecutor in california they say she was too tough on criminals she was too easy on cops she's a walking contradiction and i think there's going to be a lot of just not excitement for her and the prospect that she could be president if something happened to biden i think it's going to scare a lot of people. more than 5000 fires have been recorded in the brazilian imus and since the beginning of august but these are not naturally occurring they are in fact part of deliberate the forestation and despite the destruction often being illegal and condemned globally the president is still turning

a blind eye. just before the 1st air fire happened on or just the 10th and 11th last year where social media grid coordinates of farmers to burn both pasture and forest areas demonstrate their approval of the anti environmental policies the government has been implementing in tourism. back to me to answer to what i learned has the power to reckon he would generate other biomes and other eco systems however what's being done to buy this fire

cannot be estimated at this far has a huge impact especially during the time that we're getting through a very severe this is in with very strong winds in the metaphor so what land specifically is causing small fast so into last month's across slush and be a side of many had tests have burned so it's a criminal fire. and that is the news so far this wednesday afternoon here not say we're back again with more stories on the headlines in about 30 minutes.

and there should go into a political with the fortune your purchase was very good your search if. i just spoke. to your slip or should. specify is a risk you reserve is a rescue service run by volunteers.
