Happened to be. A very warm welcome to those of you watching us this morning and. Welcome to the program. Despite calls for calm the unrest is continuing as the country and as a 4th day of protests police have already started dispersing crowds and arresting demonstrators in the capital mints. And he pulls the bushies to have. People continued to smile to some people who see nothing. More than a small team but theres a sense of. Our correspondent for one cause that has been across the elements. Well lets start off with the with whats happening here in moscow were standing outside of the villa Russian Embassy right in the center of the russian capital where solidarity rallies are taking place. Of course of the protesters in belarus said the moment there are very few people here but little bit earlier there were hundreds of people and the police even had to disperse the crowd asking the people not to appear with pedestrians according to officials at least 5 people were saying meanwhile unsanctioned rallies or protests rather continue in for the 4th day in a row and police are using all kinds of crowd control equipment like stun grenades. Gas and others as well protesters are now using a different tactic in that mens theyre blocking this freeze trying to prevent the authorities from coming over and disperse and of course central subway stations in minsk have been closed off by the authorities as well once again to prevent people from gathering with no immediate arisen lucian to the conflict there they bring the country such as the poland they have offered to become mediators in the internal conflict in the rainy of for example theyre calling for reelection and its Foreign Ministry are calling for sanctions against all those who are responsible for the human rights drives now. And the Foreign Ministry theyve also added that the e. U. Foreign ministry are ready to convene as soon as august the 14th in order to discuss the measures that can be. In against villa rusa meanwhile bill a russian Law Enforcement continued detaining people all over the country and i have just a few examples. Here just recently they did st man who was on route to the capital and on him he had. Improvised explosive device he had fireworks he had knives we also had reports from elsewhere in bellews where an army lethal rammed a civilian car and was still dont know whether it was an accident or whether it was intentional but the result is a mother and a daughter are now in hospital and and little girl is now awaiting an operation weve also seen reports. About the journalists who have been detained now bill the Russian Interior Ministry are saying that those journalists have a created station that will work in there illegally if they were detained they were released right away meanwhile a couple of people from iraq to the video agency pulled their fate is still unknown and theyre still unaccounted for initially it was all 4 people from the agency but one of them. Got in contact with the sea and it was a woman actually and she said that she was insane she was in prison she was in a cell for 6 people that contained a lot more than 20 people sold the the surrounding the circumstances were no the best if you will so this has been happening over the last still 4 days and that weve compiled a little bit of the footage of whats been happening in belarus lets take a look. It was really nice to hear it like her. Give. Me the time here but. Now weve also seen reports so from the roofs off a couple of Traffic Police officers who were run over by civilian cars and colleagues all the Traffic Police officer they said they had to see use a live wire in order to that say no those people the wall one of those people has been detained the are the one that is they still at large meanwhile in belarus all of the protests were violence actually earlier on wednesday we saw groups self a women going out onto the streets carrying a full hours and said they joined their arms in the link and expressed their support for the protesters the passing cars they were honking also expressing their solidarity. We also spoke to one of our correspondents for r. T. Russian who was in the thick of the protests he was the famed 1. 0 later released it told us these scenes are something but a rose has never witnessed before. Here. The protesters have done something unimaginable nothing like this is ever happened in bella ruse to build barricades in minsk like those one seen in ukraine you couldnt even imagine but they barricaded some streets they made a really interesting strategic move they decided not to gather in one place because it would be easier for Security Forces to slap them down when everybodys together so the public narses of the opposition ill call them that they really do exist its just that i was skeptical about it when i saw for myself that there are certain guys who coordinate the whole process when they write lets go to sport or the nice station and people go lets build barricades and they build barricades they give coordinates where the water and medical kits is stored because you know this is the 1st case when rubber bullets tear gas and Water Cannons were used against protesters but i wouldnt call them protesters in my opinion those who came out on sunday were actually ideological protesters were actually against Alexander Lukashenko who didnt vote for it but on monday yesterday those who just want to have a fight with the Security Forces k. You know any prime one director of the. Whole thinks that the situation could be approaching a critical moment. But we have at the moment is partially the result of several really big mistakes his government government made over the last years but most particularly the way the government treated the Coronavirus Crisis as this situation has escalated to a very dangerous level and reporting just seeing seems to point to that where soon approaching a critical point where its either going to be kind of military. State of emergency were wired and that will be the only way for the government to deal with the situation or. New negotiations should be against. The more than 20 countries have placed orders for russias coronavirus vaccines just a day after the country claim to be the worlds 1st with the job of a much of the global scientific communities has doubts about the supposed breakthrough. I hope that the russians have actually definitively proven that the vaccine is safe and effective i seriously doubt that theyve done that it is not about being 1st it is about having a try tested and safe vaccine which will be given thats the important part to hundreds of millions maybe even billions of people the problem is that we know very little because the russian authorities are not being very transparent and so i am very skeptical about whats happening in russia. Our foreign colleagues who probably want to kind of competitive advantage over the russian vaccine or offering judgments that are to our minds completely groundless in fact many countries have taken excel already decisions in their back seen studies but the russian vaccine has already seen distinct Clinical Trials and evidence. More than 1000000000 doses of the russian vaccine have been requested around the world on brazilian state has also reached an agreement to locally produce and distribute the sputnik vaccine little quarter visited the cover factory in moscow where the job is currently being produced. Its hoped to be a game changer in the fight against the corona virus and while many questions remain unanswered about russias new vaccine the authorities are confident enough to go forward with mass production and we were lucky enough to get an exclusive look into how its done. The drug is nicknamed sputnik 5 and hundreds of thousands of units will be produced here in one month for the moment our company but the farm is the only producer of the vaccine apart from the gamma layer institute the production of the vaccine has already been launched with a manufacturing capacity of about 1500000. 00 doses a year we understand that it wont be enough thats why we continue to invest in boosting production the 1st batch of vaccine is ready to be delivered in the regions the priority as i understand it is medical personnel because they are on the front line of this pandemic and they are at risk. The sheer speed at which russian scientists have been able to develop this vaccine has raised a lot of eyebrows across the world. Especially since russias Health Ministry approved it before the end of the 3rd phase of testing still all the initial testing phases were done without any problems and the management of this factory seems to have a very positive outlook. Its absolutely accurate that specific antibodies protective antibodies are being formed as a nonsense of vaccination we can also say that for the time volunteers have been injected with this vaccine the number of antibodies has been sufficient and remain circulating in their blood protecting them. Heres where the final stage of the production process takes place where the vaccine itself is inspected for the purpose of Quality Control if the units pass and specs in there are labeled and prepared for packaging the factory said mechanic was able to tell us a bit more about what exactly takes place here. So generally we can pack up to 120000. 00 vials a day those ready to go into production are loaded onto a conveyor and after that a special marking machine then they go to the box and get packed. By. The factory began vaccine production so quickly after moscow gave its approval that workers are still in the process of creating a packaging facility for the end products it just goes to show how eager russia is to get this vaccine into the hands of those who need it most donald quarter archie. Its exactly 20 years since disaster struck a Russian Nuclear submarine which sank in the barents sea killing all 118. 00 on board we could have tragedy remains one of the worst maritime disasters in russias modern history the vessel had been taking part in drills when an explosion on board caused it to sink over 100 meters to the sea bed it took divers 9 days to reach the crew but by then all were lost and it was found on board saying 23 sailors had survived the initial blast and morals held annually across russia in 20151 were told us about the struggle of coming to terms with what happened. For several days we were told that everything was fine with our boys and they communicated by tapping were told that they were alive and received oxygen and me and my husbands mother were really worried about whether they had food and we were convinced they had enough for 18 days so we were counting the days on the 21st of august we found out in the new. The rescue work was finished and they were all declared dad i couldnt believe it i didnt even shed tears at the time maybe closed up or maybe because i just couldnt admit it until the last moment even when they were declared dad i waited for a year and i have and even when prosecutors called me to say that found my husband i still couldnt believe. Still ahead from arrival to running mates we profiled joe biden his pick for Vice President. And illegal takeover of the government by a small group. Rather than revolution resource soldiers could that small group the corporations when you have a tiny group of people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us dont get together and take it back. These are sacrificing. Places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation and so you see things like Voter Suppression building more prisons you seem gerrymandering all sorts of undemocratic practices are well in that world are well into. Question the. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. Spearing Dramatic Development only closely im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Thank. You come back to the program a huge protests have continued in beirut over a week since much of a city with a strong had by a massive explosion in while the families of some firefighters still have no news about their loved ones who were at the scene shortly before the explosion or slayer spoke to some of them.

She will know his father died for a reason szabo cohen was not supposed to go to the fire he volunteered because the driver didnt know the way and he said lets get there even one minute only because maybe we can save his soul his video footage shows him in the bottom left hand corner almost out of the frame calling for backup a minute later the 2nd explosion erupted followed by deadly silence at 1st we were waiting for all of them to come and sit with us and continue our life and then we said that maybe one of them can come home even if hes deformed even if hes burnt anything but at least one of them can come home toss any one of them not all of them but this is too much they didnt find anything szabo he idolized his uncle and wanted to serve in the same firefighting unit as him at just 20 years old he was his familys breadwinner and i was only 26 and preparing to get engaged what should i hope god help me i dont know how to live any more i cant imagine how can i live now because i only have one son whenever a term here or there i find something from his belongings how could i live without my son the family says they wont hold a funeral until there is someone or something to bury but their way that might not happen or else god that no one feels what we are feeling people cannot tell us rest in peace because there is no one to rest in peace we have been found as we finish the interview tony says to me god bless you and your family had something i wish best for him 3 fold policia r. T. They would. A passenger train has the rail that eastern scotland with your thought is the clearing at a Major Incident police have confirmed a vessel 3 p. People including the trains driver a number of others are said to be seriously injured over night heavy storms are thought to have triggered a landslide smoke was seen blowing from the train after the engine caught fire. In peru are demands for better working conditions brought hundreds of Health Workers onto the Streets Police used water cannon to disperse the rally. As the countrys braces itself for a 2nd wave the countrys had almost 500000 cases and more than 20000. 7 in india and overnight protest in bangalore by muslims over a Facebook Post deemed offensive to islam left at least 3 people dead and more than 100 arrested and strangers gathered near a Police Station in the house of a local politician who made the post Police Used Tear Gas and live ammunition of the crowds threw stones and torch to the courts. And joe biden has named. His running mate as he bids for the white house she had been one of his rivals before dropping out and backing him up and profiles the woman hoping to be the next Vice President. After much anticipation joe biden has finally announced his Vice President ial running mate it will be the california senator kaamelott harris who has a long record in california politics as a prosecutor and an attorney general in the state before rising to the rank of u. S. Senator now whats quite interesting is that she was one of joe bidens opponents for the democratic nomination and on the debate stage among other Democratic Candidates she had some rather harsh words for joe biden she called him out on his record supporting School Segregation and she invoked her own Life Experience to criticize him for it this is what kamel harris said to joe biden you know there was a little girl in california who was part of the feck in class to integrate her Public Schools and she was bused to School Every Day and that little girl was away now kamel harris is known for playing up the idea that there is some kind of russian conspiracy against her she claims that russian bots were targeting her on the internet that russia was out to get hurt cetera probably the most controversial thing about Camila Harris is her record as a prosecutor in california comma harris locked up the parents of children who were truant from school she also jailed thousands of people for the crime of smoking marijuana and then in a recent interview joked about the fact that she smoked marijuana 1st south now Tulsi Gabbert the democratic candidate and u. S. Congresswoman from hawaii called out kamel harris at a debate and significantly hurt her in the polls by highlighting her record as a criminal prosecutor now donald trump has already reacted to the fact that kamel harris was selected as joe bidens running mate heres what he said to me is why number one draft pick and well see how she works out she did very very poorly in the. Primaries as you know he was expected to do well. And she. He was. Right around 2 percent. Spent a lot of money he had a lot of things happening and so i was a little surprised that he picked him so thats donald trump saying that hes pretty surprised in thinking that its not a very strategic choice now whats also interesting to point out is that kamel harris has quite a record when it comes to issues like Police Brutality and mass incarceration she is very much not the favorite candidate of the black lives Matter Movement her record as a prosecutor is all over twitter right now being highly scrutinized she could excite the black vote during the primaries she can excite anybody during the primaries the left of the party the progressives have a lot of ammunition to use against her theyre not happy when she was attorney general and a Law Enforcement prosecutor in california they say she was too tough on criminals she was too easy on cops shes a walking contradiction and i think theres going to be a lot of just not excitement for her and that the prospect that she could be president if something happened to biden i think its going to scare a lot of people. An environmental catastrophe deliberate far as bunning in the amazon has been described by green activists more than 5000 files have been recorded in the brazilian i was in just this month despite being laws of it legal the president still turning a blind eye. Just before the 1st air fire happened on north just the tens and 11 last year where social media group coordinated farmers to burn both pasture and forest areas demonstrate their approval of the anti Environmental Policies the government has been implementing in somerset. But im back to me to answers about how land has the power to rapidly regenerate other biomes and other eco systems however whats being done to buy this fire cannot be estimated at this far has a huge impact especially during the time that were getting through a very severe says in with very strong winds and metaphor so what land specifically supposing small fossil into large ones that cross large and be a side of many had tests have burned so its a criminal for i ask.
