news a 2nd experimental russian vaccine against corona virus has been officially registered mean announced by president vladimir putin at the corona has successfully passed phase one to clinical trials. the vote to research center in the disappears is registered karuna the 2nd russian vaccine against corona virus. a live loud to maria financial let's find out more maria good to see you what's known so far about this new potential vaccine against corona virus. well 1st of all let me tell you that it is quite impressive growth russia 1st in the world registers 2nd vaccine against what w.h.o. calls public enemy number 2 phases one and 2 are now behind and we heard that he was success meaning that the drug is safe and the phase 3 is about to kick off to study whether the vaccine is effective we hear that $40000.00 volunteers are

expected to take part and for that purpose 60000 doses of the vaccine this new vaccine. expected to be produced very very soon well it is interesting that normally all 3 stages of the human trials of clinical trials of the vaccine should be completed it's far from normal of the world we have been living in since winter so registration procedures have been a little bit changed slightly adjusted i have said i have to say for this new reality well the corona vaccine developed by siberia based state research center by the way among the largest of its kind in russia it was founded 45 years ago contains fragments of the deadly virus 6 extracted from synthetic peptide 90 jans and as with any vaccine the idea is to treat the body make it and believe it has been infected although it hasn't been actually infected why to provoke the

response from the body's immune system and. the purpose is to prepare the body for the time when the real virus comes and we hear or heard before that. this vaccine may need booster doses every 3 years but anyway i mean this wall what we see happening the 2nd vaccine and the 1st vaccine known as sputnik. it surely brings russia closer to. the biggest goal to the biggest purpose so called herd immunity and this is what russia's president vladimir putin had to say about priorities but . first we need to make these vaccines available on the russian markets they must be supplied to russian pharmacies on as large a scale as possible so we continue to cooperate with our foreign partners and we will promote a vaccine approved as well as speaking about those foreign partners and international cooperation we hear that 53 countries are already interested in russian vaccines we

heard that from they had of russia's investment fund sponsoring the production of sputnik the vaccine let's take a listen billeted to sputnik. you know war peace 3 was mean in the issue of participating is definitely very important we believe you we use a strategic hub for concurring of virus not only of the middle east in the world. now maria i know that you've already been vaccinated by sputnik re the 1st russian vaccine can you tell us more about your experience well 1st of all let me make it very clear and. participated in phase 3 of the clinical trials of sputnik the vaccine meaning that i got injected actually twice already but maybe it was a placebo because it is a so-called double blind trial meaning they use placebos and neither doctor is no

participants know who is getting awards and only 75 percent of those taking part actually injected a job with a real shot and i want to believe and i hope that i'm among them and actually i have reasons to think so because after i was 1st shot like i had some reaction you know my body reacted so i don't think it was a placebo so what kind of reaction was it was like like a fever muscles pain like headache you know some weakness so i felt quite miserable actually for almost 24 hours but then all symptoms faded away and we hear from the developer as of sputnik the vaccine that every 6 volunteer faces similar symptoms so again it could have been a placebo i don't know and i'm not supposed to know till the end of the trial 180 days but at the end if it is a real vaccine and if everything is successful i may have antibodies in my

body able to resist a call they'd 19 and of course you would you would agree i believe that this is i mean this is a nice thing to have these days most by the way these days. has been on a constant rise in terms of number of cases of 19 we actually. have an around 5000 daily. infection cases every day so that's a lot so in this situation i mean needless to say everybody needs something to stop corona virus spreading vaccine is the response i guess well here's hoping everything goes well with those trials maria for national thank you for joining us live thank you for though that information. the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov has given a live interview to russian media heads including artie's editor in chief margarita simonyan he voted questions on a number of topics including the nagorno karabakh conflict turkey's involvement in

that russia strained relations with the e.u. going so far as to question whether it was possible to do business with the blog given what he called its condescending attitude towards russia artie's that south korea taylor brings us the highlights. we had a very lengthy and really comprehensive conversation between foreign minister sergei lavrov and editors in chief of a number of media organizations that was so much to unpack that such an a ray of topics but one that was given considerable attention was russia's increasingly difficult relationship with the european union now love prof notes that of course the 2 have mutual interests especially economic ones let's think of course just off the north stream to a gas pipeline but that all of this was made very difficult by what the fire of foreign minister described as a condescending attitude from the blog and this constant to mons being put on moscow this is what he said about the impact of that after huge loss that there was

no go through approvals the question is not just whether business as usual is possible but with the any business with the european union is possible a tool the e.u. behaves arrogantly towards us and looks condescendingly down at russia demanding answers from us for all the crimes it imagines we have committed i think we're under no obligation to respond to that. 7 also add to that a versa for you but minority within the european union was only father undermining the relationship now of course this all comes against the backdrop of wosm diplomatic ties between moscow and brussels as a result of the alleged poisoning of russian opposition figure i'll explain a follow me now one of the significant part of what lavrov said talked about double standards and he said that often the puts much more pressure on moscow than it would on itself and he said especially when it comes to the idea of interference in foreign affairs as this is something that people few very subjectively but i

wouldn't go to. in 2017 during the election in france marine le pen's a legitimate politician came to moscow to meet with president putin then french foreign minister publicly claimed that this was an attempt at foreign interference in the electoral process in france. now look at who macro holding meetings with smith learned to cannot. no one pays any attention to the fact that this could also be considered as foreign interference in belorussian affairs for such a lot for laid out his few on what the end goal was from these verbal assaults from on fact competition for calls for sanctions and for causing tellme oil russia's borders. the west will always try to hold us back to undermine our political and economic capacities this is all part of the same old game they want to throw russia of violence not just with direct assaults like dirty competition and illegitimate sanctions but also going creating instability on our borders. now one out of

russia's key relationships on the international stage that was touched upon was of course with washington and quite frankly he said with less than a month to go to the election whoever wins in november whether it's trump or biden probably very little would change he reiterated that all moscow has ever wanted was good cooperation but i'm an equal footing and that sometimes washington's foreign policy made that very difficult other topics such as the protests in batteries or indeed a peaceful resolution to the conflict in the corner karabakh were also discussed quite extensively but suddenly the lion's share from today's conversation was dedicated to the current status of russia's relationship with key international players and the future of the message they seem very uncompromising things cannot continue as they are business cannot go on as usual whether that serves as a trigger for more compromise or want to stand who have to be seen. the longest

holders that despite the. tough talk a good ties are still in the blocks interest. it will last for some time and then of course the dialogue will continue to measure the most important mission that germany and europe could take would be to stop the. pipeline between russia and germany north stream 2 would have caused the german star what to do that because that would get them and do it up very badly we need russian gas and so on they don't put them on the sanction list so the sanctions are not really sanctions since it's you know wagging the finger it's really not up to standard where europe should be as as an international power in talking with russia which is another power in the world we have a new wave of russian propaganda as well of anti chinese propaganda coming from the

u.s. there is no net group of n.g.o.s of a politically trained politicians and of a population that is uninformed of russia that it's very easy to make such a anti-rational copy russia is not very smart in using soft power so. we don't have enough pro russian engineers they don't have the. european russian cultural exchange. it would be very helpful if russia could try to be a little bit have a little bit more p.r. that makes it also. and easier for us. ready to push the other side like. the ceasefire between armenia and azerbaijan on saturday is repeatedly being violated with combat activity yet again escalating of the disputed enclave of nagorno-karabakh the conflict flared up over 2 weeks ago but has roots go back 3 decades with on and off of fighting

a contested region is mostly inhabited by ethnic armenians but is legally possible as a by jan our correspondent reports from its capital. before the war this street used to be bustling with life neighbors would come visit each other mothers would read bedtime stories to their children well now it's almost completely abandoned after an as they are by johnny airstrike basically there's a huge apartment building here which is no more there are no windows it has partially collapsed it's simply unsafe to live here here people as they ran to safety they abandoned their belongings like children's bicycles they simply had no time to pack everything and i have to admit that since the truce the city of step on it the capital of nagorno-karabakh has it more or less easy been bodman do still happen but they are move rather than they used to be and they are almost entirely almost completely limited to nighttime it's more or less the same in other towns of

nagorno-karabakh like the towns of martini and shushi in fact thing is similar pictures similar very very similar devastation can also be seen from azerbaijan its 2nd largest city of ganja came under shelling just a couple of days ago. and it would be wrong to say that the fighting has ceased elsewhere too as we're filming this there's a faint but a very distinctive sound of shelling coming from over the mountains to the south

from here that is where the town of adroit is which is viewed as a gateway into nagorno-karabakh so it is a very heavily contested area the fighting is also fierce in the north the. seems. trying to get a firm grip on some key strategic places heights before real peace negotiations begin as both militaries are fighting for diplomatic leverage. reporting from. about an cellist has performed at a heavily damaged cathedral in nagorno-karabakh the musician has armenian roots and played a piece by an armenian composer the cathedral in the city of shusha was shelled a week ago.

were being shelled by armenian forces both nations denies violating the cease fire agreement the video you're seeing right now is from the series city of which according to the 2 has been shelled several times since the conflict escalated and as a result people have taken shelter in their basements here's what some of them had to say. and in the home of the are many unsearched shelling constantly there shelling us now with different weapons with missiles bombs tanks rocket launchers they use it all if it have to but in one week ago i shall fell and my upstairs named was home was completely burned down it was impossible to take anything from the house our house is also seriously damaged doors windows even the walls everything became useless in general we cannot sleep when they stop shelling for one hour an hour and a half we can close our eyes and map then you sleep and wake up and you sleep and you wake up over and over again. but director of the world health

organization has urged countries not to pursue a herd immunity strategy against the corona virus he said deliberately allowing the virus to spread among populations is dangerous and an ethical. immunities i have by protecting people from a virus not by exposing them to it. never in the history of probably killed has heard immunity been used as a strategy for responding to an outbreak a little more a pandemic it's scientifically. problematic some scientists have argued that covert 19 should be allowed to circulate freely to allow populations to build up a natural resistance to the virus the idea gain some traction early on in the pandemic sweden de facto pursued herd immunity while the u.k. literally considered it as an option early on my colleague in an o'neill discussed

the issue with a panel of experts. herd immunity is it really such a bad idea i think it is really a bad idea one of the primary reason is that we don't really know a lot about this virus humanity against 4 lives is not long lasting the mexico we can expect is a 3 year so this means that we have to go through this process over and probably will be very costly and probably optical that gets the basic idea that we that we hoping to achieve some level of immunity within the population indeed the herd level of immunity is just how do we get there do we get the through a vaccine or do we get the true through natural infection and what's going to be what's going to cause least to us society's overall the w.h.o. it hasn't been perhaps as clear as it could have been particularly this week it also said that locke. are by are they contradicting themselves how do you see this this advice a lot of the information that's coming from governments and from world health

organizations and agencies are are really confusing for most people if a lockdown is happening or not if it's a good thing or not and now about issues of herd immunity and so it's coming down to who is communicating the right message and what is the role of of the individual trying to protect their family do they think that it's a good idea if somebody gets chicken pox or they don't have it later in life do they get coated now and that's a really dangerous position to be putting individuals sent increasingly people are looking at the example of sweden stuck on hoss and officially adopted a herd immunity strategy but that has been the result essentially in practice another dealing death rail it's almost 0 how they got it right through one way or another well it includes people they have been claiming that there is no restrictions or backed level of the law that other countries have adopted but the have had all those control years that ought to quietly mind the spread of infection

on number of people. rather but there were pictures wear and tear of people in restaurants and cafes when essentially the rest of europe wasn't doing that they where in sweden oh yeah absolutely i think sweden is certainly of valuable computer abstentions off the front of me i think it is a lot of your culture to move forward because we've already know what's going to happen tomorrow in the swedish what's fact and so although certainly the swedish perspective is a very good very able to compare between but i think it is too early to nicole that they have. adopted the right approach as the w.h.o. has pointed out lock downs are incredibly damaging each other ways and we and one governments are struggling with these balancing the damage from lock downs with the with the damage from not look down and they can wean whichever decision they make their own their prices to be paid and it's extremely difficult to know which course of action is the right one and we probably only know in retrospect government account to everything if people i suppose are aware of the risk should they be

allowed to go on to expose themselves to potential infection and take their chances and perhaps get that immunity level well the real issue to this is the inequalities that lock downs are showing at the choices that people have to make you know person who has to put food on the table leg like all of us. may have to leave the house to to do that so we have to be concerned about not just emotional wellbeing but the economic well being of the educational wellbeing and so those are the risks that people are are also balancing out. well the 1st case of covert reinfection has been confirmed in the us according to a study published by the lancet medical journal the patient's symptoms were far more severe the 2nd time around the 25 year old man from nevada who has no recorded immune disorder 1st tested positive in april he later recovered with 2 negative tests but in june developed severe symptoms and again tested positive it's the 5th proven case of reinfection registered worldwide in the netherlands the 1st death

after reinfection was confirmed on choose day by the national institute for public health mark pandora the lead author of the study says people should not assume they're safe after recovering from covert. scientific data that we have from this case and other cases will indicate that if somebody has had that note gene we just don't know whether that person can be reinspected again it's possible that they could be reinjected again but it's also possible that some people are in year in fact it could be that the vast majority of the or immune and it could be something else that could be in our immune system gives us a resistance that makes the 2nd case of a lesser been asymptomatic. or just by the confirmed cases of reinfection some people seem to think they're immune among them donald trump who is now recovered after catching coded earlier this month the u.s. president hasn't even promised to supporters he will very much forget all about

social distancing with them. now they say i'm a mutant i can see i see ourselves our out walking. our chests everywhere. are just the guys in the unified women and everybody out there is give you a big fat has. pandora the lead author of the study again sais pre-publication is can only be protected by a vaccine. our only real hope of achieving a herd immunity comes from vaccines and backs and all of g. and this finding does not speak to that scene mediated of people that have been infected can't make the assumption that they're immune because they're now in several cases that show that it isn't true because you can be reinfected you really have to be treated as if you were never injected and that's not only to protect you

but to protect. the prospects of reinfection makes the need for a coronavirus vaccine over more national governments and big pharma to get the 1st job to markets but people's health appears not to be the only motivation as artie's might gassy have explains things will never go back to the way they were too many people have died too many people have lost jobs and enterprises livelihoods the damage has been too great but we can still hope for some kind of normality the only way we will get completely back to normal is by having not maybe not the 1st generation vaccines but been eventually a vaccine that is super effective that is the best case scenario the lowest goes away and we all live happily ever after for now though that's a pipe dream judge for yourself the 2nd wave is here new universally accepted

treatment still no consensus on herd immunity versus social distancing people can't even agree where the mosques work the strategy weld wide seems to be to cross our fingers and hope for the best. the vaccine represents a more important factor than the election result for the path of equities well of course it is promises and cabaye in speeches and fiery rhetoric on killing to save lives or reopen businesses the world economy it's all about the vaccine listen to them in the states the election isn't about making america better it's about returning life to what it was i want to discuss the historic progress we're making to deliver a safe and effective vaccine in record if the doctors tell us that we should take it i'll be the 1st in line to take it absolutely but if donald trump tells us i said to him that we've taken i'm not taking it doesn't that scenes in human trials

globally 100 more in the works this isn't so much a race is a good that the science is so complex you can't predict what will work and what won't until you tried a new matter how smart thorough or diligent you are luck might just sink you at astra zeneca head pas all in that study is that as it investigates this one event in the u.k. johnson and johnson's had to put its crucial late stage testing inhalants on hold due to an unexplained illness in a study participant a johnson and johnson pos in its coronavirus vaccine trial over an unexplained illness drug maker astra zeneca is hoping its phase 3 trial of a possible coding $1000.00 vaccine after one participant came down with an unexplained illness you understand now the stakes year elections go to me it's unimaginable fortunes to be made and millions of lives to be saved but how also matches trump doesn't win from

a chinese developed vaccine the american or european pharmaceuticals they don't make billions if it's russia's vaccine that works better so you do what humanity has done since time immemorial you spike the competition. trip them you malign them and you libel them this is much like the cold war space race but it's a vaccine race in fact russia is calling those that seen sputnik 5 but be skeptical clinical trials were short they were excel aerated the state of his developments is being questions proving its effectiveness has not been presented a vaccine that has not been trying to a vaccine that has not been tested outside of russia america's top researchers say russia how did corners to develop its corona virus vaccine u.s. regulators are insistent that we knew coolness card when it comes to testing and for many t.j. that is a key difference between what america is doing and what the russians have just announced will need to be very practical in scope this rhetoric of trying to each

other because he was black it's very unhealthy it's going to have to go and very unproductive we all remember when the pandemic began european nations snatching supplies mosques and ventilators from each other the u.s. trying to. buy out vaccine developers among european allies in desperate times it's each to themselves and with the stakes these high no one wants to share the glory or the money more i guess dia of istanbul when there were doubts he would love to hear your thoughts on all of our stories so do get in touch by following us on social media and if you know comments that we're back in 30 minutes if you have. world is driven by a. person. dares

thinks. we dare to ask. and if we for underage prostitutes are controlled by a pimp 'd these traffickers exploit on average $4.00 to $6.00 girls at any one time and the investigators are going to try to find out you've done you know belongs to a pimp her cell phone could contain vital information you know we're going to end up keeping your phone. because there's no no no no no no no no no it's not over it's like this there's nothing on her.
