this came from vladimir putin himself. vladimir putin came out today and said the vaccine is safe, it's effective, it provides long term protection from the coronavirus. he said that one of his two daughters, and he's very protective, he doesn't talk about his two daughters hardly at all, there are very few photographs of them, one of his two daughters, he said, he didn't identify which one, took this vaccine, two shots, that she got a slight fever of just one centigrade extra after each shot, but that it went down and otherwise she's feeling well. and russia says it still needs to do phase iii of this trial, but it registered the vaccine, the first country to have a registered vaccine, and says it is approved for use by russian health officials, even though the trials are ongoing. so many health critics, scientists, public health experts, are saying this is troubling and also potentially dangerous because now you have a vaccine that russia says is okay and is ready to go, even though we don't exactly know how many people

just a short time ago we had some unexpected vaccine news vladimir putin, the president of russia confirming that russia has approved its first covid-19 vaccine. this is after allegations recently that russia had been hacking around vaccines and the country denied these allegations back in july but the latest update is that this vaccine developed by the institute after less than two months of human testing has now been approved, and putin trying to convey a sense of safety around the vaccine saying his daughter has received the vaccine. it does pave the way for mass inoculation. final stages of a clinical trial do need to be conducted. you can see the markets are very strong as a result we want to take you to a couple of sectors, also some data points out of china today moving the auto basket of stocks. we're seeing a pop, 3.4% outpaced by travel and leisure also, a couple of stocks in the mix today. we keep talking about the move towards digital. there are a couple of big names in europe that have been reporting today, hello fresh in the meal kit business and zalando. these two companies ha

russian president vladimir putin says his country has developed the first coronavirus vaccine. cnn's matthew chance joins us now from moscow. how is this even possible? >> reporter: well, it's been definitely developed at break-neck speed. that's led to all sorts of criticism about whether this vaccine is safe or even whether it's effective. within the past few minutes really vladimir putin has appeared on national television in a televised video conference and we see it in russia. he made the announcement and said this vaccine that has been developed in russia has gone through all of the steps and it's approved for use with the russian public. it makes it the first ever. rashdless of the efficacy, it's the first vaccine that's gone to market and has been approved by use anywhere in the world. there was word from the russian health minister in that panel of cabinet ministers speaking on national television. he said it was a huge contribution, this is the health minister, to the victory of the coronavirus. there is another development as well. vladimir putin revealed during that

we could look at it with the regime of vladimir putin.ent of both parties since putin was in power were appeasing him to one way or another. we remember president bush looking into putin's eyes and praising him as a great reformer. president obama declared the re-set was putin and his administration tried to stop the manninski act among russian officials. president trump has equated what democratic nations do with what authoritarian regimes like putin is doing and invited putin to g-8 summits and he keep talking about this for some reason. appeasement does not work. the only result is enl boldening dictators and making their excesses and abuses even worse. and come back to the situation with alexi navalny, poisoning is not the only method, this week marked 2,000 days more than five years since boris nemsov was gunned down in front of the kremlin. >> was gunned down, right. >> the russian government continues to protect those who organized and masterminded it. but so i think it is very important to say that this impunity will not last fore

it's not a surprise he failed to bring it up with vladimir putin. the only way he's likely to bring it up in conversations which we wants no witnesses would be to say they say you're offering a bounty on troops. i know you wouldn't do a thing like that. it's a hoax. and in fact, this is essentially the same thing that he did in helsinki and took putin's side over intelligence agency. >> i want to note how important it is that these questions get asked more than once. he conducted a masterful interview about this subject. he appeared on the program discussing it. we showed that questioning in full. he comes along a few days later and goes into the same territory. but gets new material. gets this piece adding it's a russian hoax. all of which goes to when you look at things like the impeachment investigation. the value of being able to get witnesses and including the value it would have been to the mueller report to get donald trump as a witness and ask questions from more than one angle. especially with a witness like donald trump and work for trump.

russian president vladimir putin speaking about it minutes ago.thew chance joins us from moscow with the latest. he's quite optimistic about it. he said his daughters received this vaccine. what do we know? >> reporter: yeah. it's absolutely extraordinary. the fact that the russians have gotten to this point and they feel confident enough to approve the world's first vaccine for covid-19 despite the concerns out there about its effectiveness and safety. it hasn't gone through the crucial third phase trials. vladimir putin coming out saying that this vaccine which has been developed in a russian lab has gone through all of the necessary checks. he said that i know it's effective and it forms stable immunity. to back that up he said that his own daughter, we very rarely hear anything about vladimir putin's daughter, i haven't heard him mention her for a decade. his own daughter has had this at first and that underlines just how confident the russian state is. this vaccine that it's got out there is actually effective or works. isn't dangerous at the

the final part of a report on alleged russian meddling in the 2016 election the document accuses vladimir putin of orchestrating the hack of democratic party servers a claim the russian government has repeatedly dismissed or his killer comments now on the latest findings. it is the 5th and final installment from the senate intelligence committee regarding allegations of russia and trump and the 2016 elections now the report is over a 1000 pages long it takes us to quite extravagant places from the ritz carlton hotel to the miss universe pageant and the ultimate conclusion of the report the long awaited conclusion is that russian president vladimir putin himself werder the hacking of the democratic national committee server take a listen the committee found that russian president vladimir putin ordered the russian effort to hack competes networks and accounts affiliated with the democratic party and leak information damaging to hillary clinton and her campaign for president do they offer any proof well no they just simply state they have high confidence this is an intelligence community as

senate intelligence committee releases the conclusion to it's reported vladimir putin of personally ordering the democratic party back in 2016 document uses the phrase almost certainly but stopped short of providing actual evidence. and the hope of 19 infections spiking in many european nations governments across the continent are reimposing safety restrictions sparking widespread discontent. and broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our team international and john thomas certainly glad to have you with us huge rallies have been held in central minsk on day 10 of protest against the bell russian president opponents accuse alexander lukashenko of rigging the recent election they are calling on him to resign and the initial demonstrations were met with a heavy handed the police response and the belorussian interior ministry has said that it except some responsibility for the way the crisis unfolded belorussian factories have been brought to a standstill by. ongoing strike action as well and the crowds on the streets are valid to keep up the pressure until their demands are met s

it is not a surprise he failed to bring this up with vladimir putin.ential the same thing he did in helsinki when he took putin's side over his own intelligence agencies'. >> i want to note how important it is that these questions get asked more than once. because jonathan schwann conduct ad masterful interview with donald trump about this subject and appeared on this program discussing it. we showed that questioning in full. and evan donovan a few days later and basically goes into the same territory but gets new material this piece of donald trump adding it is a russian holy cross. all of these things when you look at things like the impeachment investigation, the value of being able to get witnesses, including the value that it would have been to the mueller report to get donald trump as witness and to be able to ask questions from more than one angle, especially with a witness like donald trump and people who work for donald trump. because something new comes out every time. >> well that is absolutely true. and, you know, just to put a finer point

in his answer, donald trump proved once again how afraid of vladimir putin he really is. donald trump's answer to the question was a vicious and profoundly unpresidential and un-american lie. he said that the democratic party is the greater threat to america than vladimir putin's interference in the election. and i'm going to show you the video of donald trump telling this lie. just so you can see in his eyes the real subtext of what he is saying. and what you will see in donald trump's eyes is the abject fear of vladimir putin that makes donald trump say things like this. >> i'll tell you who's meddling in our elections, the democrats are meddling by wanting and insisting on sending mail-in ballots where there is corruption all over the place. >> leading off our discussion is the democratic senator of maryland, a member of the senate approapriations committee. first of all, your response to the president and his characterization of the democrats being a threat to the country? >> well, lawrence, again, this is a projection because what we know from the latest intelligence

in a hospital recovering from suspected poisoning his wife has appealed to the russian president vladimir putin to allow her husband to be taken to germany for treatment now one doctor at the hospital in the city of all says he could be stable enough to travel in the next few hours of only went into a coma on thursday a police lab says it found traces of an industrial chemical on his body but russian doctors say there is no indication that he was actually poisoned chalons spent time covering russia for us extensively here on al-jazeera he joins us this from london so rory can you travel on alt. well it looks like we're getting a bit of a shift from the hospital in squee have. near lines coming from the chief doctor there alexander miracle ski and what he is saying now is that it appears that the valley is stable enough to travel that he has been in a an artificially induced coma but the hospital can arrange for transportation for no valley to get to the airports in arms can i remember that at the airport in arms there is a small plane that had been sent from germany. that was has been wai

let's be real, it was most probably vladimir putin.sed if he's in the poison aisle in costco -- the 24 pack or 36 in? the russian doctors didn't diagnose this as a poisoning. though maybe that's how they teach it in russian medical school. this dissident drank tea. he a has a case of the sleepies. happens to people who don't keep their mouth shut. it must be terrifying to be in a country where the leaders try to poison opposition candidates. so much better to be in a country where they can do it by shutting down the post office. american democracy isn't defeated yesterday because yesterday democrats in congress called louis dejoy to get answers about what's going on with the usps. >> louis dejoy defending recent changes to the u.s. posers postl service ahead of the election. he was at times combative. dejoy acknowledged a lack of familiarity with basic aspects of the postal service. you don't know the cost to mail a postcard? >> i don't. >> what about a greeting card that's a square envelope. then what's the postage. >> i'll submit i k

it's also seen as a kind of -- what critics say -- a sort of prestige project for vladimir putin. he wants to show that russia remains a sort of scientific superpower. within the last few minutes, he's gone on national television, appearing in a video conference with his cabinet ministers, including his health minister, saying this russian-developed vaccine is now essentially approved for use. he said this -- he said it's gone through all the necessary checks. he said, "i know it's effective," and it forms stable immunity. and one of the reasons he gave for knowing so much about it is that he said his own daughter -- now, remember, we very rarely hear -- not for a decade have i heard vladimir putin mention his daughter -- one of my own daughters, he said, has had the vaccination. she had a slight temperature at first, he said, but now she feels well. so, extraordinary revelations. not just about the daughter, but about the fact that russia has become the first country in the world to approve a coronavirus vaccine. rightly or wrongly, remember, as you mentioned, there is a lot of s

donald trump will not stand up to vladimir putin any way. going to do everything in our power in congress to do so, but that's my fear. >> chairman adam schiff, thank you once again for joining us once again tonight. we really appreciate it. >> thanks, lawrence. >> thank you. >>> and when we come back, we have an important new study that has some very alarming, very concerning news about children and the coronavirus as the school year approaches. we're learning more about the dangers to children. one of the authors of that study will join us in a moment. us in t and t-mobile doesn't just have a bigger network, but a better one than ever before, with scam protection built into its core. introducing, scamshield, free from t-mobile. get fewer scam calls. period. with t-mobile's supercharged network, you can say goodbye to annoying scam calls, and feel free to answer your phone again. hello california's economic challenges are deepening. frontline workers stretched too thin. our nurses and medical professionals in a battle to save lives. our sch

vladimir putin has a lwa ys border.always through this relationship as imperial. lukashenko has viewed this as transactional. i am glad to be your ally if only you will pay me. this has survived, the tense relationship has survived but now is coming to a head. russia has long sought a military base in belarusian territory, which lu kashenko military base in belarusian territory, which lukashenko is loath to give him. so russia has turned up the present end of the screws in order to get him to capitulate on this. fascinating. i'm afraid i'm going to get you to answer this in one word if you can. do you think this spells the end, finally, for this regime? is this a revolution about to happen? i certainly wouldn't rule that out. if you asked me for one word i would say maybe. don't like to be in the prediction business. this regime has never been in as tough a situation as it is now, but the thing to watch, even if this regime does fall, which i am saying is by no means guaranteed, watch what russia does because russia is

he said this -- it's had all the necessary checks, according to vladimir putin. "i know it's effective," he says. he said it forms a stable immunity. that's what he told his health minister. that's what he told the country, speaking on national television. as evidence to that, he said this, he said, one of my own daughters has had the injection. she had a slight temperature at first, he said, but now she feels well. it's an astonishing revelation, because in a decade, i have not heard vladimir putin mention any of his children. and so, it just underlines just how much confidence the russians want to show that they have in this vaccine, that vladimir putin would make it public that his own daughter -- he doesn't say which one -- but his own daughter has had this vaccination and seems to be doing very well. it is a huge contribution to the victory over coronavirus. that's what the health minister added. but in terms of more technical details, the russian director investment fund, the sovereign wealth fund here that is essentially bank rolling this research, said th

what vladimir putin has said is this. that the vaccine has gone through all of the necessary checks. he said this in a video conference when he was speaking to the ministers on national television a couple of hours ago. i know it's effective and that it forms a stable immunity. he gave as evidence for that, the fact that his own daughter had been vaccinated. she had a slight temperature, but now she feels well. the russian authorities and the health minister in particular has been speaking out on this, saying this vaccine becomes the first vaccine to be approved for public -- you know, public consumption as it were in the world. it's a huge contribution to the victory over coronavirus. of course a lot of people around the world have serious, serious doubts. jim? >> matthew, just quickly, you have covered russia for a long time. does it have any credible track record with its governments -- you know, the support for or success in reliable vaccines or other treatments? is there any track record that gives us reason to take

vladimir putin says the leader of belarus has turned to moscow for help.e says his counterpart alexander lukashenko has asked him to prepare a russian law enforcrcement contingent to be sent to belarus if necessary. police have arrested dozens of antigovernment protesters. 20 journalists have been detained. among those is a dw correspondent. >> day 19 of the protests against the belarusian president saw dozens of women stand in the chain of solidarity to highlight another last point of the police crackdown. the showdown, they were in minsk where tensions are running high the night before. security forces arrested around 50 people. when dozens of others sought refuge inside this church, police locked them in. president lukashenko is both trying to exert control by his own means and secure the support of his long-term ally, vladimir putin. >> he would like us to provide him with appropriate assistance. i said russia would fulfill all of its obligations. >> the words match those of the joint security treaty between the countries but not the rousing words of u
