i. after russia claims to be the world's 1st with a coronavirus vaccine we visit the factory producing. equipment have been seen rolling into the capital city of minsk the us is still boils with the presidential election another night of unrest is expected and a week since the devastating blast juice much of beirut family struggled with their grief including those who lost 5 cards in the tragedy. and.
11:01 am
she can know. when she will know what happened to him. she will no longer. get even just gone 6 o'clock here in the russian capital you're watching the international. countries have placed orders for russia. just a day after the country claimed to be the world's 1st. 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 tested 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
11:02 am
very skeptical about what's happening in russia. our foreign colleagues who probably want to kind of competitive advantage over the russian vaccine or offering judgments that are to our minds completely groundless in fact many countries have taken accelerated decisions in their vaccine studies but the russian vaccine has already seen a distinct clinical trials and evidence. of more than 1000000000 days of the russian vaccine have been requested around the world however there are plenty of skeptics as we've heard about the supposed breakthrough with huge concern about the lack of testing in the fact that no details of the drug have been released one quarter visited the factory where the sputnik 5 jab 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
11:03 am
forward with mass production and we were lucky enough to get an exclusive look into how it's done. the drug is nicknamed 5 and hundreds of thousands of units will be produced here. for the moment our company but the farm is the only producer of the vaccine apart from the gamelan institute the production of the vaccine has already been launched with a manufacturing capacity of about 1500000 doses a year we understand that it won't be enough that's why we continue to invest in boosting production the 1st batch of vaccine is ready to be delivered in the region it's a priority as i understand it is medical personnel because they are on the front line of this pandemic and they are at risk for the sheer speed at which russian
11:04 am
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. it's absolutely accurate that specific antibodies protective antibodies are 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 their 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
11:05 am
$120000.00 bottles a day those ready to go into production are loaded onto a conveyor and after that a special marking machine then they go to the box i'm get packed. my. 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 quarter r.t. . despite calls for the unrest in better reduce continues amid kinds that weekend's presidential election was rigged neighboring countries including lithuania poland and that they have released a joint statement announcing a plan to solve the crisis in batteries that is vehicles and police hardware have

11:07 am
a middleman if you will in this situation for example lithuania's authorities and some other neighboring countries have already suggested that they're calling for reelection and the foreign minister of lithuania is is actually calling for sanctions against those who are directly involved in the violation of human rights they are saying that the sanctions will not be against the people but again action against those who are guilty also lithuania's foreign ministry added that e.u. foreign ministers will be ready to discuss measures against bill or russian authorities as soon as the 14th of august meanwhile alexander lukashenko has someone to his country's security council national taking place pretty soon and also he heard here painted a picture all follow what

11:11 am
believe that both sides their own battery suffice to listen to each other because it is escalating that means that both sides are short sided the heroine 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 ball for president look up position should also drive to find a way to be integrated into it to vote to legal political process drive to suggest something that is acceptable to the government but if they just exchange inacceptable ideas with each other in acceptable demands and exaggerate those demands it's pretty clear that this old imagine with a lot to be accepted by any side. meanwhile huge protests have continued in beirut exactly a week since much of the city was destroyed by
11:12 am
a massive explosion meanwhile the families of some firefighters still have no news to you about their loved ones who were at the scene shortly before the explosion porus they managed to speak to some of them. 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 on 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 on 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 a nail from their fingers 40 kilometers from the scene of the blast its impact is still being felt this sign says race to peace are here as of carter and posters pinpoint the way to the family's home. was father of 2 daughters the oldest is just

11:14 am
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 there 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 bread when i. was only 26 and preparing to get engaged i thought should i hope god help me i don't know how to live anymore 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 or the family says he won't hold a funeral until there is someone or something to bury their way there might not happen or else god that no one feels what we are feeling people cannot tell us rest
11:15 am
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 in the family it's something i wish best for him to be sold policia r.t. they went. up and you tonight a passenger train has derailed in eastern scotland with the rescue services describing it as a major incident a number of people are said to be seriously injured some reports claim that 3 people including the train's driver work eld overnight heavy storms are thought to triggered a landslide so. you can see here a building from the train after the engine apparently caught fire dozens of emergency vehicles and an air ambulance are still at sea. now it is exactly 20 years since disaster struck a russian nuclear submarine which sunk which sank in the byron sea killing all a $118.00 people on board a tragedy does remain one of the worst maritime disaster as it rushes modern
11:16 am
history the vessel had been taking part in drills when an explosion on board course it's a sink 108 meters to the sea bed it took divers 9 days to reach the crew but by then all of them were lost a note was found on board saying that $23.00 sailors that actually survived the initial blast memorials are held annually across russia 2015 min widow to tell us about the struggle of coming to terms with for. for several days we were told everything was fine with my wife's they communicated by tapping we're told that they were alive and received oxygen yeah me and my husband's mother were really worried about whether they had food and we were convinced they had enough for 18 days so we were counting the days on the 21st of august we found out in the news that the rescue work was finished and they were all declared that they couldn't believe it i didn't even shed tears at the time maybe
11:17 am
closed up or maybe it's because i just couldn't admit it until the last moment even when they were declared dad i waited for a year and i have and even when prosecutors called me to say that found my husband i still couldn't believe. that. joe biden has named harris as his running mate as he bids for the white house she had been one of his rivals before dropping out and then backing him in my profiles the woman that is hoping to be the next vice president. 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
11:18 am
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 feck in class to integrate her public schools and she was bused to school every day and that 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 kaamelott harris is her record as a prosecutor in california comma harris locked up the parents of children who were 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 now tulsi gabbert the democratic candidate and u.s.
11:19 am
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 is 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
11:20 am
record as a prosecutor is all over twitter right now being highly scrutinized she could excite the black vote during the primaries she can 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 that the prospect that she could be president if something happened to biden i think it's going to scare a lot of people. and environmental catastrophe that's how deliberate 5 is burning in the amazon at the moment have been described by green activists will be 5000 finds have been recorded in the brazilian am isn't this month and despite being largely illegal the president there is still turning a blind eye. just
11:21 am
before the 1st air fire happened on or just the 10th and 11th last year where social media group coordinated farmers to burn both pasture and forest areas demonstrate their approval of the anti environmental policies the government has been implementing in person. but i'm back to me just about all and has the power to correct that he would generate other biomes and other acar system however what's being done by this fire cannot be estimated at this far has a huge impact especially during the time that we're getting through
11:22 am
a very severe this is in with very strong winds again that metaphor so what land specifically is causing small fast so into large ones that cross large areas many had tests have burned so it's a criminal fire. by law and chris trick sions could be back on the cards in parts of europe with big cases on the rise officials they fear a 2nd wave of the crying of ours is starting to take hold spain france and germany have seen some of the biggest spikes so be using kerogen member states to get self-worth on physical distancing and contact tracing as well as considering closing borders once again jemele is also have their own idea. as to about why some infections are spreading is all about i would pause 80000000000 has
11:23 am
a reputation as one of europe's party capitals but after being curtailed during the corona pandemic the party spirit or spirits could be set for another blow in the meantime i think it is also right to think about a burned out who is behaving in restaurants does not improve apparently drinking alcohol ensures that people become more careless and hardly keep their distance a good cold some would say but not the almost 60 percent of businesses in the hospitality industry who say they are already on the cusp of going under for them a booze ban could well be the final nail in the coffin i want to go there as it is it is so cool so it's just makes it easier to go party i cool this whole loosens you up lubricates the conversation because if i go to the bar i want a drink and you go to the birds drink. good good sign and without alcohol is
11:24 am
a big difference us and i think it would cause a big dip in revenue to me often up to 30 percent of the revenue will get is from the sale of alcohol because of the coronavirus we have already lost half of our revenue and one more punch in the eye could be very very problematic for many a night life is already changed dramatically as it stands when you go to a bar or restaurant you have to leave your contact details so that any cases of corona that are to take to it can be traced this has led to concerns over how that day so will be used to face representing the hospitality industry are also concerned they say a one size fits all approach is going to lead to bankruptcies not just for bars and restaurants but also for that of that staple the night club all restaurants and hotels in the holiday regions a gaining confidence the situation for businesses in many. cities continues to be catastrophic the desperation of entrepreneurs is growing from day to day businesses
11:25 am
do not know how they can get through the crisis and fear huge death of the disco club scene on tuesday the senate agreed to postpone the debate on the alcohol to allow more time for discussion with the ospital industry but should there be a rise in cases in the city and restaurants and could be forced to call last orders these are all over. and that is the new say faucet i hear not in time to get there you can always keep yourself updated saying using our social media page and some.
