a hero and she will know what happened to him. she will no longer have died the reason. a very warm welcome to you you're watching r t international with mina karan now it's top story this hour despite calls for calm the unrest in both the roost continues as the country enters a 4th day of protests police have already started dispersing crowds and arresting demonstrators in the capital minsk several polish journalists have also reportedly been detained well let's get the latest now from our correspondent rym on called the river among good to see you could you bring us up to speed place. our crews outside of the embassy of belarus in moscow the moments were another solidarity rally is taking place for a 4th consecutive day as well you can probably see them right. behind me similar

rallies are taking place in other countries as well like ukraine for example where . groups of people went out not only to the bella russian embassy but to the independence square as well now getting back here to moscow right now a little bit earlier there were so many people here that the police were forced to to disperse the crowd and asked the people to go about their business because that privilege preventing the pedestrians from walking freely the a rally continues here in front of the bill russian embassy the people are chanting long live below the roofs of freedom for. chants along those lines meanwhile indeed protests in the roots itself continue for a 4th consecutive day and the police continue using the various crowd control equipment such as stun grenades or rubber bullets to name just a few things and. and others have right now they're

sending heavy equipment to the center of the bell or russian capital in order to prevent people from joining the mass rallies central subway stations are closed off to the public as well least 7 of them are now working now protesters in minsk have been employed to different tactics they're now trying to block central streets and prevent law enforcement from coming over and dispersing them. with no immediate resolution inside about the. russian conflict in neighboring countries too bill roots are now offering their help as as negotiators in order to settle the internal conflicts in. lithuania is one of those countries and their authorities are calling for a reelection. and the foreign ministry of the country is calling for sanctions

against all those responsible for crimes against it for human rights violations now the lithuania's foreign ministry added that the e.u. foreign ministers are ready to meet and to discuss the measures that they will take against the bill roos said in a meeting that will take place on the 14th of august the us state secretary michael impel also issued a statement saying that the elections in belarus were not free and fair meanwhile alexander lukashenko has summoned his a security council and also a little bit earlier on wednesday had this to say about the protesters. who she would. go and everyone who's out of work today is supposed to be assessed and offered a job the underlying characteristic of all these supposed protest is that they have a criminal record in a job bliss have no job to take

a hike so i asked you nicely at that what everyone who doesn't have a job needs to find one. lawyer for smith in belarus continue detaining of protesters in all parts of the country and just recently according to them they did sainz a young man who was on routes to minsk and on his person they discovered fireworks improvised explosive devices as well as knives now we have also seen reports from elsewhere in villa roofs where an army be rammed a civilian car now it's not clear whether it was intentional or whether it was an accident but the result is full of near tragic because a mother and a young daughter are now in the hospital and until girl right now please note the ration. we have things happening out here in from the bill russian embassy right now looks like the police are trying to do. disperse the crowds and there right now

they're following they're running after some people all find out exactly what happened and sell you in our next broadcast to meanwhile. we've also been talking about talking extensively about said journalists who were detained in minsk in the billers germans who were covering the protests most of them have been released and the bill of russian interior ministry are saying that those journalists who hold a valid a credit station are released without charge ends of the interior ministry himself he said that all those journalists who have occurred sation who are not who didn't put themselves between protesters and law enforcement should be a lead go right away now. stalking about journalists for all fawaz stringers that's a work for a rope for the media agency are still unaccounted for and their fate is unknown so

os or their families. us once again who have been covering these protests for 4 days in a role now let's take a look at some of the footage that we've seen over the last 4 days. leave. a little bit closer. to look like. it. was not. well not throat not all of a. protests in minsk of resulted in violence early on wednesday with with saw

groups of women who came out into this streets carrying flowers they formed a live link line live a chain if you will and. the passers by in cars were honking to express their solidarity and meanwhile we will remain here outside of the russian embassy to bring you any further developments. we appreciate that remark from on calls wherever keep us up to date on the situation thank you. now more than 20 countries have placed orders for russia's coronavirus vaccine not just a day off of the country claim to be the world's 1st with a job however much of the global find if a community have doubts about the supposed a breakthrough 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 safe 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. 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 excel already decisions in their vaccine studies but the russian vaccine has already seen distinct clinical trials and evidence. more than 1000000000 doses of the russian vaccine have been requested around the world although major questions have been raised about the lack of testing and the fact they tell us that the drug have been released don't call it a visit to the factory where the sputnik 5 job 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. by. 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 that galileo 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

the priority as i understand it is medical personnel because they are on the front line of this pandemic and they are at risk from 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. it's absolutely accurate that specific antibodies protective n.c. bodies 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 $120000.00 vials 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 books i'm get packed. 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 donald quarter archie professor of tropical epidemiology dr peter smith because of a crisis the thing vaccine trials accelerated much more than normal. a significant

in the sense that there are about 150 different back scenes that are being developed none of them to my knowledge has yet been licensed so in that sense it sat in court announced that if this is 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 recipe small numbers of people who have so far received this back seen in which case it's very typical i would say almost impossible to assess whether the paxson is actually efficacious or we don't have sound reservations about knowing that the safety of the vaccine generally new vaccines are not the least until they been in trials a year or 2 years possibly even 5 years because of the exceptional situation with the suspect co the 19 and to meet. vaccine trials are being

excel 88. it's exactly 20 years since disaster struck a russian nuclear submarine which find in the barents sea killing all $118.00 on board because tragedy remains one of the worst martin disasters in russia's modern history the vessel had been taking part in drills when an explosion on board cause it to sink 108 meters to the sea bed it took divers 9 days to reach the crew but by then all was lost a note was found on board saying 23 sailors had survived the initial blast memorials are held annually across russia and 20151 widow told us about the struggle of coming to terms with what. they need for several days we were told that everything was fine with our boys they communicated by tapping we're told that they were alive and received oxygen 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 workers vanished and they were all declared dad i couldn't believe it i didn't even shed tears at the time maybe closed up or maybe 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. still ahead some rival to running mates we profile joe biden vice president day with. is your media a reflection of reality. in

welcome back page protests have continued in beirut over a week says much of the city was destroyed by a massive explosion meanwhile the families of some firefighters still have no news that about their loved ones who were at the scene shortly before the explosion poor fleer spoke 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 him 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 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 the sinuses reste in peace are here as of car to buy 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 phoned her on the way to the blast instead he'll call back later but that phone call never came. i told my daughter the 3 of them are praying from up above. 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 my 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 a soul this 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 but at least one of them can come home toss any one of them not all of them but this is 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 want 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 from it 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 there 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 is something i wish better for him to be sold policia r t a would. a passenger train has derailed an easter of course learned with the author artistic leora get a major incident police have confirmed the deaths of 3 people including the train's driver a number of others are said to be seriously injured overnight heavy storms are thought to have triggered a long flight cloak within billowing from. the train of the engine caught fire. and the rouer demand for better working conditions brought hundreds of health workers on to the streets police used water cannon to disperse the rally the demo comes as the country braces itself for

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 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 camila 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 at her south 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 headed up but right around 2 percent. spent a lot of money kid a lot of things happening and so i was a little surprised that he picked him 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 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 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 thanks for joining us here and i think international we're back with all the latest in that scene at.

one else so it's seems wrong. why don't we all just don't call. me old yet to see proud disdain become educated and in detroit because the trail. went something and find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. as the u.s. economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours 'd a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the way of opportunity the reality of we're not financially equality and unlike

affordable housing or a living minimum wage gave many people no choice. that's been a problem with the city close to it which i told you stay away almost. before that if there is no answer because the answer requires resources the most vulnerable or abandoned on the streets to become invisible comes.

went up slightly and then it was all over she's feeling well and has a high number of antibodies you can use the moscow based institute well it developed the vaccine and sputnik 5 as a homage to the country's 1st space satellite there have been 2 rounds of testing so far and chief executive of the russian direct investment fund said face 3 to clinical trials well they're scheduled to start as soon as this week. is starting right up there in just trace so basically base 3 will start a sort of moral will go on should also in all those dissociated in the u.a.e. and saudi arabia in philly. hopefully also in brazil and those countries will be a street trials all of the data will be published. well official said large scale production will start in september and could be available in mass as early as october and reportedly nearly 2 dozen countries they're already placing orders for the vaccine c.e.o. of the russian direct investment fund said that it had already received orders for

a 1000000000 doses meanwhile tens of thousands.
