the caricature of the other nothing justifies the fact of killing the so it is a mortal capital soon to kill a person like that to cut his throat like that all because it showed caricaturists of the prophet there have been there been 2 terror attacks hay in france in the last 3 weeks and both of those attacks related to the images of the slim profit the present medical an outline course he wants to do with the draft rudy to be presented before the end of 2020 he said that any deviation away from francis secular values wouldn't be tolerated he talked about liberating florence from foreign influences we know that drove through is going to close a scrutiny all schools and associations serve religious communities and that arabic will now be true in mainstream schools rather than in mosques that law is sent by the end of the year but it comes as polls have been giving us and in planning all

3:07 am
was the town mayor and it had a good reputation working there was nice and it was located in a neighborhood without any problems or violence it's time for us to take a tough stance on the issue on how people intrude into france while being deemed as refugees and surprisingly given resident cards to 2030 i don't think that this act of terror is a crazy man's doing but a premeditated act at this point we must prosecute for any violation of the republic's laws in particular for the pressure being put on teachers and journalists to keep them silent. paris place political analyst nicole america believes that the deadly incident highlights the refugee crisis unfolding in france . it's too early to see now what type of check was done when these refugees come out come into france what kind of check does france do how would they be doing it to see their background or these people coming from what are their beliefs or what
3:08 am
are their motivations why are they coming here 'd. do they belong to any specific organizations i think this definition shows that france does not do that in any case it doesn't do it correctly and it's getting people in which shouldn't be here if you're going to let 20300000 people into your country illegally each year and i'm not even if you're talking about people coming illegally what is your plan are you going to help them integrate are you going to do you have jobs for them are you going to help them to learn french are you going to help them it's great in the culture to appreciate the culture to learn the culture there definitely is a major 1st number one problem which is the integration 20 people are coming in and there's not enough means to help them integrate but also the 1st muslim community has a responsibility it has to come these people down it has to show them there's another way to use them or else we know small minorities take over me you move majorities and then this is where the future of this that could be people if people within the muslim community don't do anything. and you cease fire has been agreed to between

3:18 am
is in its final trial stage in russia r.t. correspondent riffel national was among the volunteers taking part in the testing. moscow clinic number 68 in the city center nothing special except this is where i received russia's vaccine against call that 19 hopefully able to resist public enemy number one as the world health organization calls it. this navigation science has called with 19 vaccine clinical trial is this way. maybe i received a placebo because this is a so-called double blind trial meaning neither the doctors know their participants know who's getting it was only 75 percent of the volunteers are getting jobs with a real shot and i hope i'm among them and i have reasons to believe i really am i'll explain why i got the 1st shot exactly 21 days ago i felt really miserable the
3:19 am
next day headache muscle pain for the vaccine developers say every 6 volunteer faces similar side effect by the way they faded away 48 hours or so later today i'm going to get the 2nd dose of what could be the most awaited drug in the world why to bolster the immune response to but if you forms after the 1st shot before being approved for the trial i was checked and scanned and checked to get the blood test your entire school with 19 task of blood pressure also age and level and today we do some testing again russia sputnik of the vaccine by the way divided the world of those criticizing the research too little evidence too fast and those praising russia for it i'm going to get vaccines right here.
3:20 am
ok i hear. i need to relax my groove. who. specially after the 1st short i was. i have been monitored by. the happy calling me and you need your calls you know and after 2 days i'm going to continue staying in touch with medics you know and as well as all volunteers because it's a trial after all. that's it i'm done well the head of the world war 2 where the vaccine is made by nintendo russia is expected to be able to produce up to 6000000 doses monthly bring in russia close to her eve unity finally written otieno party from moscow now is there of year. india has become the latest country to approve testing of sputnik v. if that passes the trials russia is ready to supply some 100000000 doses to the
3:21 am
country by the respond as well and the u.a.e. already conducting phase 3 studies. let's go live now to early public health expert and gupta joins me for a good day to you is this a development that you would welcome 1st of all i think so it is the step in that i doubt if you know of the norm this is an issue which has affected the world. at all levels and therefore to get. the approval for the for the trials i think is a step in the right direction and i'm hoping that you know we could have the supply of the vaccine sooner than later. the number of people infected in india is been particularly bad i mean is this the direction that people are looking to now are they thirsting towards a vaccine to solve the problem. well i think so if you just look at the glow of the
3:22 am
color 19 kisses in india in the beginning it was not there despite the fact that we are the 2nd most populous country but in the last 2 months or so the numbers are really gone be the the 2nd most affected country and the numbers continue to go up also i think that is a larger issue all the the winter's coming in and there is a probability as the country tries to open itself from next nomic perspective the numbers might you know there might be a 2nd wave so the only possibility is a vaccine and i think you know that something which everybody is looking forward to doing over there is the person on the street the the medical fraternity are policymakers so something like this needs that kind of an urgency it needs that kind of on you thinking in the way we could possibly go through the trials and show
3:23 am
that it's safe and efficacious shows that i just immunogenicity and is available to a new population in the next couple of months he said a vaccine is needed but there will always be those people who are very skeptical worried about possible health implications side effects generally what's the attitude in india towards vaccinations. well over all the vaccination buzz as you know india is quite open on this our nationalization program has been doing quite well we being one of the countries do and human need for you in the past and therefore there is a wide support about rock scenes the best to be back in any public health challenge so i think there are a huge support of course like in any other part of the world there are certain small groups of the people who i would always remain cynical but i think as public
3:24 am
health experts as well as you know the others will nor the field believe this is the right thing and you know the safety profile already has been tested and it's already been you know it's already been printed in a peer reviewed journal so now i think it's what you would be looking forward. to see coming through to phase 3 obviously there's been several companies several states involved in trying to develop their own vaccines it's seems like there's a race on it's an issue that seems to become politicized as well there's been a lot of skepticism about russia being at the forefront being the 1st to come up with a vaccine and testing it some people some governments saying that you know it can't be safe it's been too fast how do you feel about that. well i think. as you rightly said it might have been more politics of size and not really based from us you know from a science perspective in almost a consistent yes there is a certain can isms but i don't think we are living in a normal world we're living in
3:25 am
a new normal and that that time to have an explosion approval process or an exclusive trial is a possibility and it something which can be done and i don't see any reason why we should be so cynical about the sack scene and again you know looking at just the larger population of one vaccine will not be able to solve we need many more players and all of them to sort of work together in a collaborative manno are to ensure that we are able to defeat this public health enemy number one aman thanks so much for your time my guest is armand gupta public health experts live from new delhi thanks a lot and. well corona virus is once again tightening its grip on europe france spain the u.k. are setting new inspection records on a daily basis far exceeding those seen during even the initial wave but when it comes to tackling the health crisis it seems political unity is a short supply pita of a husband. cases of coronavirus skyrocket across europe e.u.
3:26 am
leaders are bringing back hard core restrictions and we have made a decision to impose a curfew it will be enforced in the paris region in 8 other french officer darvish in the same situation over the pandemic is serious because we record rising infection numbers almost everywhere the reason is that fear is a 2nd to winter wave of the virus would be worse than the 1st appear to be coming true back in march france was in lockdown with around 7 and a half 1000 daily cases the latest figures show that is high and now the same picture is repeated in spain and in the u.k. while all those countries were in lockdown in the spring now politicians are trying to strike a balance between safety and personal freedom for many the potential economic damage of another lockdown outweighs concerns of
3:27 am
a public health. since the virus was 1st detected in europe different countries of opted for different tactics the swedish government went for a hands off approach relying on people following precautions without them having to be made rules that worked at least for a while but now restrictions are in place in sweden as well the disjointed approach among member states has caused public frustration a poll of e.u. citizens found that just over half of french people counsel to their walls unity in the block when it came to tackling coronavirus however 60 percent of italians and almost 3 quarters of those here in germany. i thought the approach lacked
3:28 am
solidarity as our anchor larry in security the measures that confusing that i have no idea where i can and can't go there just simplify the rules i'm worried about a 2nd law down especially the impact it will have on restaurant owners and the self-employed it's not clear if there is a right strategy but there must be a better way to explain the strategy where supposed to be when we know the hot spots large family gatherings parties maybe care homes and retirement homes that's where they should focus this is just chaos is one thing that was agreed upon this week was a unified set of travel rules for the european union we welcome the agreement reached day by the member states on uy coordination of measures restricting free movement related to the corona virus pandemic it will have a single set of colors to categorize the different regions based on risk with a single set of rules to follow so citizens can see more clearly what the situation
3:29 am
is the german chancellor says that means to be more cooperation across europe to help called attain a virus that doesn't care whether it's in brussels bremen things we have also experienced that european corporation is not limitless lee resilient i tell you the south critically especially in the beginning of the pandemic inveterate specht we focus too much on the problems of our own country but this experience once again makes it clear that we need each other we need close european cooperation in order to must agree challenges which can only be achieved together with the citizens and not working above their heads so far that unified new approach to tackling cove it has been lacking from european leaders these are all of our r.t. . we spoke to a swedish epidemiologists who believes that it's almost impossible to have a 0 covert distancing to many nations are striving for while at the same time
3:30 am
saving economies. if you are in a bit of realism then you are facing the outbreak of a pandemic then the 1st thing you have to see is whether they are approved aware of those put up with interest so it does not help that they say well that was important from long before it should have been taken into account in deployment of this strategy to face the pandemic and that was not the done so this is this year i do know. over incapacity you unless you do. we. i don't see a purpose but thinking that your prayer these are others you know where your prayers are not to save the lives of the well your player decided to save the economy so even thinking ok we have a nice economy doing this pandemic and the time to look down that will then we suffered much more so we're going to have a better position than they have if you have those ideas.
