for and governments for it mediators for that matter and of course so washington added their own $0.02 into the conflict and said this is what they had to say about it i was glad to see the release of some protesters but that certainly is not in the community activists to support the bill and rescind people to achieve their sovereignty the range freedom of the peaceful radek insignias here outside of the bell russian embassy and of course will be here to bring you any more developments we ask the analysts how they think of the bellerose protests will play out. there are very strong similarities will be played out front but i tell you what happened to trace we had a very similar scenario not a color so i take it to pretty successful color revolution making the slavia the united states line that line of many western countries with whatever happens so it but also between it would be illegitimate we had the same rhetoric coming out of the west as we're getting yet that the government that was told it couldn't really
11:06 pm
respond to any protests against even if they turned violent that's what we're seeing so it's kind of really that we've seen many times before and it doesn't end well that being that the previous thought it didn't end well for the people of your great there's tremendous interest here for the west. it's all about democracy or human rights it's about power it's about economics and it's about geopolitics probably the better comparison is with ukraine in 2004 as the time of the so-called orange revolution the russian society whatever its own should be president. is anxious to avoid not only the kind of violence the people that you saw in ukraine in february 2014 but the problems in ukraine has had ever since and i think for those of us who want to see a peaceful if you like a legitimate democratic outcome voters it's very important that the losing side in any political process has options of coming back through the ballot once you
11:07 pm
foreclosed on. then do you risk a civil war civil conflict which is off to a lot as percent parts of ukraine. and so. the best thing for people but worse is that this crisis is disputed so peacefully. some of the constitution. the german state of bavaria has been forced onto the defensive after it was revealed around $900.00 travelers returning to the region were not told that they had tested positive for the crown a virus is peter all over as more. there's been a huge blunder in the german state of the very a with 844000 corona test a backlog 900 of those still waiting for their results and known to have tested positive the man in charge of germany's largest state says he's sorry for the delay is due to example shots are going to relight the entire state government is sorry
11:08 pm
that these mistakes happened both the minister and also me personally that many people are now unsure as to what happened to their test results the reason it given is the sheer number of people coming into germany from holidays elsewhere and taking covert tests by the roadside and train stations in both areas this move was brought in very quickly by the state and the information had not been recorded digitally mistakes happen in such extraordinary times the official say the bavarian health minister though had offered her resignation over the blunder bilinear. offered to resign twice and then asked whether she had the courage to continue to carry out these tasks with a she wanted to and could in both cases she said yes markets has made a bit of a reputation for himself during the corona pandemic as a mr fix-it that internecine his name touted as a potential successor to chancellor merkel when she steps down ahead of next year's

election opposition leaders have been quick to use the testing delays to twist the knife on claims he's all talk and no final product if a state premier is always presenting himself as a crisis manager and constantly patting himself on the back he also has to take responsibility of point suring that things were when announcing new coronavirus measures he doesn't miss a press conference but when something goes wrong he sends out the health minister i would have expected him to have the backbone to step up himself. the advice for anyone who's still waiting for test results is pretty simple just get test done as germany and the rest of europe brace for a 2nd wave of covert 90 peter all of the early. spikes of covert infections are being seen in parts of europe france is recording around $3000.00 daily infections up tenfold on last month that has prompted the u.k. to add it to its quarantine list with the french government said that unfortunately

says it has started the mass production of its new controversial covert vaccine moscow announced this week it was 1st in the world to approve a coronavirus job but there has been much concern around the globe vatican watchers have been cut among those worried is donald trump you 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. vaccine was created by russia's gemmell a institute and took them only around 5 months of work critics say that it cannot have passed all of the necessary trials to ensure it is safe the head of the gemmill a institute xander ginsburg told us how they achieved such quick results. this
11:13 pm
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. for over 3500 people have tried this vaccine without suffering any serious side effects just some minor ones that 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. the
11:14 pm
. vaccine research is conducted in many countries across the world but the russian and soviet school of vaccine creation is a very serious one and our 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 the 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. absolutely. 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 to find a vaccine and it was also this feeling that many in our profession have many micro punters the need to catch and liquidate it. africa's biggest hydroelectric dam could spell disaster for sudan

costly project which aims to double gas imports from russia to germany head of the bundestag energy committee klaus ernst feels 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 with this is unacceptable we should fight it there are 2 aspects the state one is a professional one and the 2nd one is more important independence of germany. and
11:19 pm
washington has repeatedly claimed nord stream 2 is a threat to european energy security the u.s. plans to sanction companies that don't pull out of the project because ernst again believes germany should retaliate if that happens. 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 and if they then notice that we are not the ones to concede easily that we are an opponent who can react to them 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 online
