and the rest of europe brace for a 2nd wave of covert 90 peter all of royalty. spikes of covert infections are being seen in parts of europe france is recording around $3000.00 daily infections up 10 fold on last month and has prompted the u.k. to add it to its quarantine list. with the french government said that unfortunately the virus been going the wrong way there has been a 66 percent increase in the number of test positive tests in the last week alone and so unfortunately francis happened to be added to the quarantine list. london gave people until 4 am this morning to return to the u.k. if they wanted to avoid quarantine france is hugely popular with british tourists and many flocked to them when lock down was lifted the last minute announcement saw thousands rushing back to beat the deadline. but anyone who missed the deadline will now have to self isolate for 2 weeks when they return the role also now
1:10 pm
applies to those coming from the netherlands which is holiday makers were given only 24 hours notice well that has angered some travelers who claim the areas they had been staying in have low infection rates then at home france is the 2nd most popular travel destination for brits some 160000 were there when the country was put on the quarantine list not all of those he wanted to return home have been able to and we caught up with some of them. travel. so when well was allowed to go now or later so maybe. i think i made the wrong decision in the 1st yes we would get one on the way we pay everything all the facilities completely in the boat and as soon as the government . way there was no way we could get any money back but we were aware.
1:11 pm
very to. say well anything in place really that's going to stop the spread so i was very general. i mean. it says that we've got a chorus or. i think testing is a better option we've already been locked out for very very long. russia says it started the mass production of its new controversial covert vaccine moscow announced this week it was 1st in a while to approve a coronavirus job but there's been much concern around the globe that corners have been cut among those worried is donald trump i don't know much about it. we hope it works we do we hope it works they cut off certain trials and we just feel it's important to go through the process we have numerous different vaccines that we think are going to work but we want to go through a system of. the vaccine was created by russia's galileo institute it took the
1:12 pm
money around 5 months of work and critics say it can't have passed all the necessary trials to ensure it's safe the head of the gamma law institute alexander told us how they achieved such quick results. in the proper bubble this vaccine was created strictly in accordance with russian law this allows a vaccine to be developed more rapidly during an emergency and the coronavirus pandemic is definitely an emergency we haven't reduced the number of tests required to prove that the vaccine is safe rather we are running tests in parallel but when the pandemic started we were working on a vaccine against mers which is also a type of corona virus and is more lethal than covert 19 this research had almost completed the 2nd phase of tests so we had all the methodology in place. over 3500 people have tried this vaccine without suffering any serious side effects
1:13 pm
just some minor ones but one gets with any type of vaccine for example a slight temperature which can be relieved with a dose of paracetamol and this will be made clear in the instructions for use. vaccine research is conducted in many countries across the world but the russian and soviet school of vaccine creation is a very serious one institute for example we have 4 generations of scientists working together so the knowledge we transmit is not just via papers and electronic devices but directly from one person to another when young researcher comes to me i always know which of our scientists can give them appropriate advice someone that's worked in the field for many many years. absolute renewable at their courses absolutely not the only feeling was to defend myself my relatives and our population and just to complete the task we had been given namely
1:14 pm
to find a vaccine and it was also this feeling that many in our profession have many micro punters the need to catch and liquidated. africa's biggest hydroelectric dam could spell disaster for the down that's the warning from experts who say large parts of the country could be swallowed up by 1000. was. valid and most important factors leading to desert if occasion incident cultural and development policy is based on the $940.00 s. and fifty's agricultural policy sought to expand agricultural areas for kish groups such as corn and sesame at the expense of natural forests consequently large areas
1:15 pm
of natural forest were removed for this purpose and were not recovered again s.s. this is one of the main reasons leading up to does it say that it was at the cost. of 20 years have passed since they got married and started living in this house my difficulties in life come from the encroachments of sand our lands heard. the walls of our houses have fallen in every year i use all the money that i see to move sand or build walls everything earns we used to do that we make the walls of the buildings higher but the sand continues. creeping towards us. that i would love a. man
1:16 pm

1:19 pm
aims to double gas imports from russia to germany the head of the bundestag energy committee clowes the us to phil's washington's behavior is unacceptable. it is unacceptable that any country like the united states tells another sovereign nation like germany or an independent european union how to deal with the question of its own energy supply it's out of sync with normal relations in the era of globalization things cannot be achieved by blackmail the americans say if you don't do as we want we want to protect you and if we protect you then you have to pay for that and we should pay with the import of liquefied guess and if you don't do that we will get rid of everyone here this is the current american policy but this is unacceptable and we should fight it there are 2 aspects the stakes one is a professional one and the 2nd one is more important than the independence of
1:20 pm
germany. washington has repeatedly claimed is a threat to european energy security the u.s. plans to sanction companies that don't pull out of the projects accounts and stick and believes germany should retaliate if that happens. and we should let the americans understand that if they continue this kind of behavior it will cause economic damage that is why i advise imposing punitive tariffs on american liquefied guess and under certain conditions even an embargo on american guess they hit the americans the same way they want to hit us if they then notice that we are not ones to concede easily that we are an opponent who can react to that we should negotiate how the 2 countries can lift the sanctions as soon as possible because this is the real game we don't want to impose more sanctions we want to prevent american sanctions by means of our own sanctions and i think we need to show the americans a particular economic response from our side. the creator of the popular
