A 2nd experimental russian vaccine against corona virus has officially been registered at the vaca corona has successfully passed phase one and 2 Clinical Trials russian president Vladimir Putin made the announcement on wednesday. The vote to Research Center in the disappears is registered karuna the 2nd russian vaccine against corona virus the corona vaccine was developed by siberia based state a 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 60000 doses of the drug will be produced and we hear from russias 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 just a so this is worlds 2nd registered vaccine against 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 maining 8 to may take up to 12 months to vaccinate around 80 percent of the countrys population and as we hear from russias president Vladimir Putin the russian citizens house is among the countrys 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 abroad as well taken. International cooperation and foreign partners we know that 50 countries are already interested in russias sputnik of the vaccine against kawiti we heard that from the head of russias Investment Fund who just earlier this week came back from the United Arab Emirates where phase 3 of the Clinical Trials of sputnik was approved billeted to the sputnik. You know gold piece 3 was made in the issue of participating is definitely very important we believe you we use a strategic cob for fight concur in the bios not only of the middle east in the world on taking part in phase 3 of the Clinical Trials of sputnik the vaccine is a double blind trial meaning placebo is used and neither doctor is know the participants know who is getting the wharton only 75 percent of the volunteer is actually jabbed with a real short and till the last moment i was hoping that im among them i got 2 injections already on the 1st and 21st day of the trial so i got reactions like fever muscle pain and had a off to both injections actually now i just now received results showing that my body right now has i. G. G. Antibodies meaning my body reacted to. 1000 to corona virus as if i was infected vaccine apparently i got the vaccine. Job so im very happy with that it. Also says it is no longer business as usual when it comes to the e. U. Well threats and accusations continue to roll out from brussels russias top diplomat Sergey Lavrov was speaking to Russian Media executives including arties media editor in chief margaret just manion also on the agenda was belarus and turkeys involvement in the conflict parties taylor has the big talking points. 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 array of topics but one that was given considerable attention was russias increasingly difficult relationship with the European Union now love prof notes that of course the 2 have mutual interests especially economic ones lets 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 2 years almost of there was no go through approvals. The question is not just where the business as usual is possible but with any business with the European Union is possible a tool the e. U. Behaves arrogantly towards us and looks condescendingly down russia demanding answers from us for all the crimes it imagines we have committed i think we are under no obligation to respond to that. 7 also add to that a versa phobic 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 ill 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 wouldnt go to. In 2017 during the election in france marine le pens 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. Such a lot for laid out his few on what the end goal was from these verbal assaults from un fact competition for cools for sanctions and for causing tellme oil russias 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 directors so its like dirty competition and illegitimate sanctions creating instability on our borders. Now one out of russias 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 its trump or biden probably very little would change he reiterated that all moscow has ever wanted was good cooperation but im an equal footing and that sometimes washingtons Foreign Policy made that very difficult other topics such as the protests in batteries or indeed a peaceful resolution to the conflict in the border i care about were also discussed quite extensively puts us in the lions share from todays conversation was dedicated to the current status of russias relationship with Key International players and the future of it the message today seemed very uncompromising things cannot continue as they are business cannot go on as usual whether that serves as a trick up for more compromise or want to stand who have to be seen. Or heard from politicians and journalists who agree that the e. U. Still needs to maintain relations with moscow despite any harsher language coming from h. Q. In brussels. I think 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 nord 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 dont put them on the sanction list so the sanctions are not really sanctions its you know wagging the finger its really not up to standard where europe should be as an International Power and talking with russia which is another you know power and 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. Of to a politically trained politicians and of the population that is uninformed on russia that its very easy to make such a antirational cutting russia is not very smart in using soft power so we dont have enough pro russian n. G. O. S they dont 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. To push the other side. Still to come this hour donald trump claims his recovery from cover 1000. 00 means immunity but a new Study Suggests otherwise details on that story much more after a short break this is r. T. International. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation that you didnt see. You good in the right way or are you being so. What is true. Is. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the. Aura maybe in the shallows. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business im show business ill see you then. Welcome back this is our Team International now the leaders of russia and turkey have agreed on the vital importance of upholding the cease fire between armenia and azerbaijan in a phone conversation with president but amir putin also raised moscows concerns over the role of militants from the middle east being brought into the conflict zone a fragile cease fire was brokered on saturday but has been repeatedly violated without her by john and armenia blaming each other the fighting in flared up more than 2 weeks ago but has roots going back 3 decades the area is mostly inhabited by Ethnic Armenians but is legally part of azerbaijan our correspondent goes down off 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 its almost completely abandoned after in azerbaijan e. S. Trike basically theres a huge Apartment Building here which is no more there are no windows it has partially collapsed its simply unsafe to live here here people as they ran to safety they abandoned their belongings like childrens 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 nagornokarabakh 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 its more or less the same in of it towns of nagornokarabakh 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 were filming this theres 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 nagornokarabakh so it is a very heavily contested area the fighting is also fierce in the north the. Seems both menial and as theyre by 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 of reporting from the going to carry back. Meanwhile a belgian cellist has performed at a heavily damaged cathedral in the city of. The cathedral was shelled a week ago the musician has armenian roots and played a piece by an armenian composer who told us what inspired his performance. Played a concert exactly one year ago in. Church and it was very hard breaking to see such a peaceful church can be. Historical. Building architect or can just be bombed for nothing and force my way off my prayer. As a musician does the only thing i can do and if every one in the ward does what they do the best will be a peaceful place. On tuesday azerbaijan claimed that its territories were being shelled by Armenian Forces both nations deny violating the cease fire these images are from the city of tire which according to baku has been shelled several times in recent days now as a result people have been taken shelter in their basement heres what some of them had to say. Their minions are shelling constantly theyre shelling us now with different weapons with missiles bombs tanks rocket launchers they use it all if it hit one week ago a shell struck and abstainers neighbors home was completely destroyed it was impossible to take anything from the building our home was also severely damaged dools windows even the walls everything is ruined. Militant we cannot sleep at night when they stop shelling for an hour oh so we can close their eyes now then we get woken up again its the same thing over and over. The 1st known case of covert 1000 reinfection in america has been confirmed according to a study published by an internationally recognized medical journal the patients symptoms were far more severe the 2nd time around the 25 year old man from nevada who has no record of 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 is the 5th proven case of reinfection registered worldwide well the 1st worldwide death from reinfection was reported in the netherlands on tuesday mark pandora the lead author of the us study says people should not assume that they are safe after recovering from cope it. Scientific data that we have from this case and other cases would indicate that if somebody has had coded no change and it could be Something Else it could be our immune system gives us a resistance that makes the 2nd case of a lesser but asymptomatic action. Despite the confirmed cases of infection some people do assume that they are immune have been caught and recovered from the disease donald trump was seemingly among them the u. S. President battled covered earlier this month he said he is even ready to get up close and personal with his supporters. Now they say im a mutant i can feel i feel so powerful i want. To see everyone it was just the guys in the unified women and everybody give you a big fact is. A developing story now in thailand where the government has just declared a state of emergency in the capital bangkok and it follows growing unrest with thousands of people protesting against both the countrys Prime Minister and the monarchy. On wednesday scuffles broke out between protesters and the police as mass groups surrounded the Prime Ministers office demonstrators are calling for his resignation among other broad changes including a curb on the kings powers in the country these are some of the biggest protests since an Antigovernment Movement began in early july riot police have been deployed to the capital following that emergency that emergency decree which bans gatherings of 5 or more people and the immediate arrest of those who are violating the new order. A controversial New York Times project which labeled slavery as the most significant aspect of American History has sparked a round between the papers own writers one columnist wrote that the 161000 project had failed and he got this response from the papers union of employees it says a lot about an organization when it breaks its own rules and goes after one of its own the act like the article reeks that tweet has since been taken down the project was developed by New York Times magazine with a series of pieces published last year 1619 was when the 1st slave ship arrived in the colony of virginia and the writers argue that date should be considered the birth year of the United States rather than 776 the year independence was declared the research gained plenty of publicity and of the creator want to Pulitzer Prize but last week New York Times columnist Bret Stephens wrote an opinion piece questioning the 69000 project he praised the quality of the research but said it is not the job of reporters to reframe history. Journalists are most often in the business of writing the 1st rough draft of history not trying to have the last word on it we have best when we try to tell truths with a lowercase t. Following evidence in directions unseen not the capital t truth of a preestablished narrative in which inconvenient facts get discarded as fresh concerns make clear on these points and for all of its virtues buzz spin offs and a Pulitzer Prize the 161000 project has failed. We spoke to a legal and media analyst live all about the infighting in the New York Times over the project he thinks it demonstrates a left wing intolerance of dissenting views. Well it amazes me that somebody who represents or than organization of journalists would basically have a problem with somebody expressing an idea or performing journalism it just goes to show you that this comes down to one very simple fact there are some things that are allowed to be said within lets say the alter left journalist platforms and things that you cant say if you say anything that challenges you to the New York Times or particular ideologies espoused by the time or even that you dare Say Something that goes against the grain youre cut down immediately let me make even more simple there is no journalism anymore. The russian photographer has won a Coveted International award with a once in a lifetime image of an endangered Siberian Tiger so today the work is titled the embrace it shows a tigress sent marking an ancient fir tree in russias far east it took 11 months of trial and error to finally capture the close up of the big cat using motion sensors the British Natural History Museum chose the piece out of 49000. 00 entries with claiming the wildlife photographer of the year award the tiger was pushed to the brink of extinction a few decades ago due to poaching and deforestation with the population falling to just a few dozen it has recovered somewhat in recent years with the help of strict conservation laws but the species is still classed as endangered there are now around 500 Siberian Tigers living in the wild in parts of eastern russia. Doesnt for me this hobby back about 31 minutes with another full looked news stay with us as our internet.
