i. protest by the disputed election and by the roof center their 4th day as police begin dispersing crowds and arresting demonstrators . after russia claims to be the world's 1st country with a coronavirus vaccine we visit the factory now in mass producing it. a week on since the devastating blast produced much of europe to rubble the families struggle with their grief including those who lost firefighters in the tragedy. and who. she can no hero and she will know what happened to him.

she will no longer guide. live from moscow thanks so much for joining us tonight r.t. international here with you throughout the evening welcome to the program despite calls for calm the unrest in but continues as the country enters a 4th day of protests police have already started dispersing crowds and arresting demonstrators in the capital minsk. and he puts the bushies to. full time think it's meant to be some people who see getting. worse on a small team but there is a. correspondent

robot causative has been following developments. well let's start off with the with what's happening here in moscow we're standing outside of the villa russian embassy right in the center of the russian capital where solidarity rallies are taking place. of course of the protesters in the belarus said the moment there are very few people here but little bit earlier there were hundreds of people and the police even had to disperse the crowd asking the people not to appear with the pedestrians and according to officials at least 5 people were it's a good thing and meanwhile unsanctioned rallies or protests rather continue in for the 4th day in a row and police are using all kinds of crowd control equipment like stun grenades

. gas and others as well now protestors are now using a different tactic in them and they're blocking this freeze trying to prevent the authorities from coming over and disperse and of course central subway stations in minsk have been closed off by the authorities as well once again to prevent people from gathering with no immediate arisen lucian to the conflict there neighboring countries such as the poland they have offered to become mediators in the internal conflict in bill. for example they're calling for reelection and its foreign ministry are calling for sanctions against all those who are responsible for the human rights drives now.

and the foreign ministry they've also added that the e.u. foreign ministry are ready to convene a soon as august the 14th in order to discuss the measures. that can be taken against villa roosts and meanwhile bill a russian law enforcement continued detaining people all over the country and i have just a few examples. here just recently they did sainz a man who was on route to the capital and on him he had. improvised explosive device he had fireworks he had knives we also had reports from elsewhere in bellew's where an army lethal rammed a civilian car and was still don't know whether it was an accident or whether it was intentional but the result is a mother and a daughter are now in hospital and and little girl is now awaiting an operation we've also seen reports. about the journalists who have been detained

now bill a russian interior ministry are saying that those journalists have a created station that will work in there illegally if they were detained they were released right away meanwhile a couple of people from iraq to the video agency pulled their fate is still unknown and they're still unaccounted for initially it was all 4 people from the agency but one of them. got in contact with the sea and it was a woman actually and she said that she was it saying she was in prison she was in a cell for 6 people that contained a lot more than 20 people sold the the surrounding the circumstances were no the best if you will so this has been happening over the last still 4 days and that we've compiled a little bit of the footage of what's been happening in belarus let's take a look. at

. are you. looking for a ruler next year. if not. the time if not. now we've also seen reports so from the roofs off a couple of traffic police officers who were run over by civilian cars and colleagues of the traffic police officer they said they had to see used a live wire in order to did say no those people the wall one of those people has

been detained the other one is they still at large meanwhile in belarus all of the protests were violence actually earlier on wednesday we saw groups self a women going out onto the streets carrying flowers and said they joined their arms in the link and expressed their support for the protesters the passing cars they were honking also expressing their solidarity i also spoke to one of our correspondents for all the russian who was in the thick of the process he was the thing and at one point the right to release you told us the scenes of something but i was i was never witnessed before. here. the protesters have done something unimaginable nothing like this is ever happened in bella ruse to build barricades in minsk like those one seen in ukraine you couldn't even imagine but they barricaded some streets they made a really interesting strategic move they decided not to gather in one place because

it would be easier for security forces to slap them down when everybody's together so the public masses of the oppositional told them that they really do exist it's just that i was skeptical about it when i saw for myself that there are certain guys who coordinate the whole process when they write let's go to sport of a nice station and people go let's build barricades and they build barricades and they give coordinates where the water and medical kits are stored because you know this is the 1st case when rubber bullets tear gas and water cannons were used against protest is but i wouldn't call them protest is in my opinion those who came out on sunday were actually ideological protest is actually against alexandre look he didn't vote for it but on monday yesterday those who just want to have a fight with the security forces came. you know any problem and director of the minsk dollar council thinks that the situation may be approaching a critical moment. but we have at the moment is partially the result of several

really big mistakes his government government made over the last year but most particularly the way the government treated the corona virus crisis this situation has escalated to a very dangerous level and they were boarding just seeing seems to point to that where soon approaching a critical point where it's either going to be. kind of military or state of emergency quired and that will be the only way for the government to deal with the situation or. negotiations should be against. more than 20 countries have placed orders for russia's coronavirus vaccines just a day after the country claimed to be the world's 1st with a job over much of the global scientific community has doubts about the supposed 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 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. 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 back scene studies but the russian vaccine has already seen distinct clinical trials and evidence. more than a 1000000000 doses of the russian vaccine have already been requested around the world while the brazilian state has also reached an agreement to locally produced and distribute the sputnik 5 vaccine all caught a visit at the factory in moscow where the 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. the drug is nicknamed 5 and hundreds of thousands of units will be produced here in one month for the moment our company but the farm is the only producer of the vaccine apart from the gamma layer institute the production of the vaccine has already been launched with a manufacturing capacity of about $1500000.00 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 regions the priority as i understand it is medical personnel because they are on the frontline of this pandemic and they are at risk. 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 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 pass and 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 barrels 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 and get packed. by. 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. . it's exactly 20 years since disaster struck a russian nuclear submarine which sank in the barents sea killing all $118.00 on

board the tragedy remains one of the worst the maritime disasters in russia's modern history the vessel had been taking part in drills what an explosion on board caused that to sink 108 meters to the seabed it took divers 9 days to reach the crew by then all last note was found on board saying 23 sailors had survived the initial blast and morals are held annually across russia and 20151 widow told us about the struggle of coming to terms with what happened. for several days we were told that everything was fine with our boys and they communicated by tapping we're told that they were alive and received oxygen and 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 dad i couldn't believe it i didn't even shed tears at the time of them 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 they'd found my husband i still couldn't believe. the head from rival to running mate we profiled joe biden this pick for vice president. and illegal takeover of the government by a small group. rather than revolutionaries or so just that small group the corporations when you have a tiny group of people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us don't get together and take it back. these are sacrificing. 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 are well in that world are well into this world. question the. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy voting for him to let it be an arms race in his own spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. thank you. all go back to the program huge protests have continued in beirut over

a week since much of the city was destroyed by a massive explosion and while the families of some firefighters still have no news about their loved ones who were at the same shortly before the explosion or slayer 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 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 a nail from their fingers 40 kilometers from the scene of the blast its impact is still being felt this sign says rest in peace our heroes of carter bar and post as 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 there are the i told my daughter the 3 of them are praying from up above. out of here 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 her father died for reason szabo co i 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 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 breadwinner and was only 26 and preparing to get engaged i want should i hope that 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 whatever a term here or there i find something for me 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 had something i wish best for him 3 fold policia r.t. they would. a passenger train as the royal family is the scotland with authorities the clearing at a major incident police have confirmed deaths of 3 people including the train's driver a number of others are said to be seriously injured over night heavy storms are thought to have triggered a landslide smikle singling from the train off the engine caught fire. the rouer demand for better working conditions brought hundreds of health workers onto the streets police used water cannon to disperse the rally and demo comes as the country bruises itself for a 2nd covert wave of countries already had almost half a 1000000 cases and more than 20000 deaths 7. in india and overnight protests in bangalore by muslims over

a facebook post deemed offensive to islam left at least 3 people dead and more than 100 arrested and strangers gathered near a police station in the house of a local politician who made the post police used tear gas and live ammunition after crowds threw stones and torched vehicles. joe biden has named kemal a harris as his running mate as he bids for the white house she had been one of his rivals before dropping out and endorsing him kaleb orpen profiles the women the woman 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

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 in her south now

tulsi gabbert the democratic candidate and u.s. congresswoman from hawaii called out kamel heiress at a debate in 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 heiress was selected as joe biden's running mate here's what he said to his right 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. and a lot of money killed 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 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 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 viral mental catastrophe deliberate fires burning in the amazon have been described by green activists more than 5000 fires have been recorded in the brazilian amazon just this month despite being knowledge of it legal the president still turning a blind eye. just

before the 1st air fire happened on northwest the 10th and 11th of 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 intercity. back to me just about land has the power to rapidly regenerate other biomes and other eco systems however what's being done to fight this fire cannot be estimated at this far has a huge impact especially during the time that we're going through

a very severe this is in with very strong winds you know that metaphor so wetland specifically supposing small fast so into large ones that cross large and be a side of many had to test have burned so it's a criminal for i ask. just through the us what's in the holds takes a look at private and public health care in the face of the pandemic that's coming up next we're back in 30 minutes with the latest global news headlines see that.
