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. as a by john accuses armenian forces of bombing is territories outside the main problem of the euro vandalized we hear from missouri's who are taking shelter in their places. in the home of the are many answers showing constantly they're shelling us now with different weapons would have given in one week ago i shall file and my upstairs neighbors home was completely burned down. very well welcome you watching r.t. international with meaning. that we start with some breaking news the 2nd experimental russian vaccine against corona virus has been officially registered.

been announced by president vladimir putin at the event corona how successfully passed phase $1.00 and $2.00 clinical trials. the vote to research center is registered. the 2nd russian vaccine against corona virus . alive now to maria for national maria good to see you i was known so far about this new potential vaccine against corona virus. well nicky the epi barker on a vaccine was developed by siberia based state research center among the largest in russia it was founded more than 45 years ago back in the soviet times phase one and phase 2 of its clinical trials are now behind and we heard it was a success meaning the drug is safe now face 3 is coming and it is a study in whether the vaccine is in fact effective we hear that around 40000 volunteers are expected to take part and for that purpose purpose 60000 doses of

the drug will be produced and we hear from russia's vice premier that it will happen very very soon interesting to mention is that normally all 3 stages so phases of the human a clinical trials should be completed before registration but the world has been living in quite an emergency mode in the last 8 or so months so procedures have been slightly changed slightly adjusted so this is world's 2nd registered vaccine against call they'd 19 the 1st one was also registered in russia back in august it is known as sputnik all satellite feed it is and then the virus vector viral vaccine and we now hear from its developers that by november russia will be able to produce up to 6000000 doses of vaccine meaning 8 to may take up to 12 months to vaccinate around 80 percent of the country's population and as we hear from russia's president vladimir putin the russian citizens house is among the

country's key 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 we continue to cooperate with our foreign partners and we will promote of arcsin approved as well. i know of course it is old face is bringing russia close to what is known as herd immunity and speaking about international cooperation and foreign partners we know that 50 countries are already interested in russia spooked nick the vaccine against call that we heard that from the head of russia's investment fund who just earlier this week came back from the united arab emirates where phase 3 of the clinical trials of sputnik he was approved. ability to show the sputnik. you know gold face 3 was mean and they should have participated is definitely very important

we believe you we use a strategic ob for fighting colonel virus not only in the middle east in the world . now marie i know that you've been vaccinated yourself degree the 1st russian vaccine can you tell us more about your experience with. your sneaker but 1st of all let me make it clear on taking part in phase 3 of the clinical trials of sputnik the vaccine and it is a double blind trial meaning placebo is used and neither doctor is nor the participants know who is getting the water and only 75 percent of the volunteers are actually jabbed with a real short and to the last moment i was hoping that i'm a monday and by today i got 2 injections already on the 21st day of the trial that lasts $180.00 days a tall tall so i got reactions like fever muscle pain and had a half to both injections and that made me believe that i didn't get

a placebo by the real vaccine and just this morning i had a blood test and actually now i just now received results showing that my body right now has i.g.g. antibodies meaning my body reacted to call the 1900 to corona virus as if i was infected while i wasn't in fact it so vaccine apparently i got the vaccine. job my body making it believe i was in fact it and provoking the immune system so i'm very happy with it that's great news maria maria phenomena speaking to us live from moscow. russia's foreign minister has questioned whether the country can continue to do business with the european union if the threats and accusations from brussels continue so ok lavrov spoke to russian media executives including artie's editor in chief margarita simonyan here dressed over range of issues including the unrest in bella russo involvement in the care about conflicts artie's it sounds

good 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 impact that such an array 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 today 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 and merkel holding meetings with svetlana t. cannot skier no one pays any attention to the fact that this could also be considered as foreign interference in belorussian affairs. so a lot for laid out his few on what the end goal was from these verbal assaults from unfair competition for cools for sanctions and for causing tom 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 to suits like dirty competition and illegitimate sanctions but also by 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 i care about we're 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 it 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. well i guess told us that despite the harsh language coming from the e.u. the bloc still needs good relations with russia. i think it will last for some time and then of course the dialogue will continue to measure the most important measure

that germany and europe could take would be to stop the. pipeline between russia and germany north stream too but of course the german star want to do that because that would get them and do it up very badly we need russian gas and so they don't put them on the sanction list so the sanctions are not really sanctions it's you know wagging the finger at it it's really not up to standard where europe should be as some international power and 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 a net group of n.g.o.s of 2 or politically trained politicians and of a population that is uninformed of russia that it's very easy to make such a anti-rational cutting russia is not very smart in using soft power so we don't

have enough pro russian n.g.o.s we don't have the. european russian cultural exchange so it would be very helpful if russia could try to be a little bit have a little bit more p.r. that makes it more so. and easier for us. to push the other side like. the fragile cease fire between armenia and azerbaijan is being repeatedly violated with all still it sees escalating once again over the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh the conflict flared up more than 2 weeks ago that has roots going back 3 decades the area is mostly inhabited by ethnic armenians but is legally part of azerbaijan a correspondent don of 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 stepanek the capital of nagorno-karabakh has it more or less easy but 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 martone 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. seems. john are trying to get a firm grip on some key strategic places and heights before real peace negotiations

begin as both militaries are fighting for diplomatic leverage. reporting from. a belgian chalice times performed in a heavily damaged cathedral in nagorno-karabakh the musician has armenian roots and played a piece by an armenian composer cathedral in the city of shusha was shelled a week ago. that is regions were being shelled by armenian forces both nations deny violating the cease fire these images are from the city of turtle which according to barker has been shelled several times in recent days as a result people have taken shelter in their basements here's what some of them had to say. the home of the are many unsearched shelling constantly they're shelling us

now with different weapons with missiles bombs tanks rocket launchers they use it all. one week ago as shell fell and my upstairs need 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. the director of the world health organization has urged countries not to pursue a herd immunity strategy against the coronavirus he said deliberately allowing the virus to spread among populations is dangerous and other ethical. immunities i protect in 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 so we can define pursuit herd immunity while the u.k. initially considered it as an option earlier my colleague you know neil 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 why this humanity against former lives is not long lasting the mexico we can expect is that we 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 the 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 they w.h.o. it hasn't been perhaps as clear as it could have been particularly this week it also said that locked islands are bad 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 in increasingly people are looking at the example of sweden stockholm hasn't 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 'd restrictions or backed level of the law that other countries have adopted but the have had all those control years that ought to quiet when might this infection on number of people. i gather 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 sports factor and so although certainly the swedish perspective is a very good very able to compare between but i think it is too early to really cold

that they have. adopted the right approach as the w.h.o. has pointed out lockdowns 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't win whichever decision they make their price is to be paid and it's extremely difficult to know which course of action is the right $1.00 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 is this is the inequality lockdowns are showing at the choices that people have to make a not a 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. the 1st case of coded 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 tina could have tests but in june developed severe symptoms and again tested positive is the 5th proven case of reinfection registered worldwide in the netherlands the 1st death off the reinfection was confirmed on tuesday by the national institute for public health mark pandora the lead author of the study says people should not assume their safe after recovering from coated scientific data that we have from this case and other cases will indicate that if somebody has had that many 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 immune 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 section. despite the confirmed cases of reinfection some people seem to think they were i mean you among them donald trump who is now recovered after catching covert earlier this month the u.s. president says he's even ready to get up close and personal with his supporters. now they say i'm i'm you know i can see i see ourselves our are walking. our walk and just everywhere. are just the guys and the beautiful women and everybody out just give you a big bag is. marc pandora the lead author of that study again sais populations can

only be protected by a vaccine. our only real hope of achieving a herd immunity comes from vaccines and backs and ology 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 in fact and that's not only to protect you but to protect. well the prospect of reinfection makes the need for corona virus vaccine all the more now so governments and big pharma orion to get the 1st job to markets but it's people's health appears not to be the only motivation has on his mind gassing of 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 lower risk goes away and we all live happily ever after for now though that supplied 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 should take it 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 try it and no matter how smart thorough or diligent you are luck might just sink you as presented to him paz all of that studies 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 is positive 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 matters trump doesn't win from a chinese developed vaccine the american or european pharmaceuticals they will 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. rip 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 this that seen sputnik 5 but be skeptical

clinical trials were short they were excel aerated the speed of his developments is being questions proving its effectiveness has not been presented a bag seen 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 come 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 of 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 i

thank you for joining us on r.t. this wednesday and wherever you are we hope you're having a great day you know neil will be here in 30 minutes with the latest headlines. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person with those great. thinks . we dare to ask.
