24000000 people have been affected plus it took me a long time to get well about 6 weeks before i found sort of normal again. We catch up with a former 19 patient from new zealand who tells us what life is like for her today. And im pieced image of all your sports as a limb pick hosts japan come under fire following claims of athlete abuse across 50 sports. Lets get going more than 14000000 people have now been infected with covert 19 around the world and more than 600000 die the pandemic has up ended our daily lives and many are wondering how close we are to a vaccine well researches around the world are racing to develop more than 150. 00 potential vaccines there are for providing some positive results. Theres the university of Oxford Astra Zeneca which is testing its vaccine in big numbers of people in the u. K. South africa and brazil its expected to release the results of its 1st human Clinical Trial shortly in australia the university of melbourne and Murdoch Childrens Research Institute is also conducting phase 3 trials and Chinese Companies sin of rock and sin a farm well theyve both moved to phase 3 testing in brazil and also in the u. A. E. Sara gilbert is a research leading the trials the university of oxford speaking virtually to members of the house of commons the British Parliament in london she said her team is still testing for how long the vaccine will provide immunity to the virus nationally quite immunity to other human actions it is relatively short that we dont get reinfected sometimes quite quickly but that doesnt necessarily mean it will see the same thing with the vaccine because the vaccines have a different way of engaging with the need system and we follow people enough that since it is using the same Type Technology to make vaccines several years and we still see strong in responses so again its something we have to test and over time we cant know until we actually have the data but were optimistic based on areas that is that we will see a good direction immediate deep several years at least and probably better than nationally quite immunity live now to our correspondent paul brennan in oxford so paul the trial thats going on there what can we expect to hear today that we think. Well its interesting i mean we know that the university of oxford trials with astra zeneca prepared to actually do the manufacturing we know that they have progressed now to phase 3 so large scale testing what were waiting for is the publication in the medical journal the lancet of the results from phase one thats back in april where they started with just 500 volunteers so what we know is that there are no major side effects otherwise they couldnt have gone to face 3 but we dont know is the detailed data of what they found out during that phase one stage indications are over the past few days sources and reports indicate that the Oxford University general Institute Vaccine program appears to be producing a double impact in the volunteers both an antibody response antibodies are y. Shaped proteins which attach to the virus and essentially lock it in prevent it from infecting human cells or and also a t. Cell response as well now 70 cells are regarded as killer cells and they go after the virus and actually eliminate and kill the virus so for a program to be developing and having to double the response that Oxford University appears to be getting thats very positive but what we dont know yet is that is the data and thats why the publication in the lancet at some point today we dont know a time yet at some point today is being so keenly anticipated because it will have a huge impact. For research all around the world the u. K. Government paul invested in what is it 3 or 4 trials so clearly offsetting that against whats going on where you are its almost like number 10 is kind of hedging its bets almost. For good reason i mean epidemiologists and virus researches know from bitter experience that 9 out of 10 virus trial programs essentially end in failure and the the program goes through but the outcome is not what what was hoped for and so the u. K. Government has decided that as well as putting a deal in place for 100000000 doses of the vaccine should it come to fruition from here in Oxford University that also theyve done a deal that was been announced today with a german u. S. Consortium by pfizer and also one with a French Company called val neiva now 30000000 doses from bio and tech pfizer. 60000000. 00 from valmy of are there 2 and the reason why theyre doing that is because each of these different vaccine programs are looking at different aspects of the vaccine different types of vaccine from the eva for example deactivate the corona virus and put it in into the body that way thats a very traditional way of vaccinating the Oxford University looked at a genetically engineered vaccine so the different types different classes of vaccine and with the failure rate that you see in vaccine trials its prudent to actually hedge your bets invest in lots of different vaccines in the hope that one of them actually comes to pass ok poll well wait for that publication in the lancet good to talk she will catch up with you later paul brown reporting live from Oxford University it was their 1st face to face meeting in brussels since the virus pandemic began and talks between e. U. Leaders were planned for just 2 days but now theyre heading into the number 4 set to resume in the coming few hours after an all nighter ended without agreement at stake an unprecedented 2. 00 trillion dollar budget that includes 857000000000. 00 for post virus economic recovery for the hardest hit nations within the e. U. Now this is where the do. Agreements like the e. U. Is for biggest economies france germany italy and spain well theyre on the side which favors most of the money being paid out in grants the other side is led by the socalled frugal 4 thats the netherlands austria denmark and the swedes as well they want smaller grants and bigger loans then there are other countries such as hungary in poland they object to the proposals being tied to democratic rights life now to John Psaropoulos who joins us from athens so as far as the government is their concern john whats the big issue for them whether its grants versus loans and tagging it to democracy slash human rights. Well greece is a country that is already paying 3 and a 3rd percent of its economy every year servicing all of those emergency loans that you remember greece took from its european. Com raids its euro zone partners back in 2010 to 15. 00 its going to spend the next 40 years paying 2. 2 percent of its g. D. P. Repaying those loans that economists say is an unmatched record if greece actually pulls it off historically no country has spent that long paying that much of its economy on servicing debt and yet here is greece saying we fully back a common recovery instruments backed by all the European Union countries which will eventually have to be repaid over a 30 year period after a moratorium but which greece is willing to join in paying why because greece stands to suffer a 9 percent recession this year it wants to offset that recession with immediate handouts money that doesnt have to be repaid and then yes it is also willing to borrow from that recovery instrument but it would prefer obviously the grants are greater than loans in this instance because this is an emergency affecting the entire continent therefore greece hopes that everyone will back that way of thinking the recessions that italy and spain the looking at or even worse they are 11 percent for spain and 11. 00 and 3. 00 courses for italy possibly the European Unions deepest this year so those countries obviously stand to gain even more and stand to lose more if negotiations dont go well in brussels at the moment greece is staunchly backing the initiative of france and germany launched back in may and picked up by the European Commission what the greek Prime Minister had to say was that. Compromises must of course be made but they should not be such as to water down the level of our ambition regarding a bold European Response to the Coronavirus Crisis and we can also forward so periods of i did or week. John the greek government i mean its got form when it comes to its relationship with the e. U. Out of brussels and strasburg the European Commission as well when it comes to not blinking 1st when they get into these big sums of money discussions about who gets what and when is it your sense there today that the greek government is just quite happy to say no this is our line in the sand we are not going to change our position. Well the greek government stands with a bloc of countries and its position is not isolated the way it was back in 2010 to 15 when it was negotiating for 3 emergency loans clearly for itself but in this instance i think greece is in the majority and it is willing to back the plan that france and germany will eventually compromise on they are the ones taking the lead in this negotiation with the socalled frugal for but greece for greece there is a great distaste in this discussion because it because it is highly reminiscent of the north south divide created in europe during those dark days of the great Global Financial crisis and the great Great Depression in which Northern Europe wanted extremely stringent controls on the way in which the money that was lent to the southern debt stricken countries and ireland would be spent greece felt that there was a lack of solidarity in the European Union at that time and that divide is now reemerging and haunting the europeans again i think for the greeks that is the biggest problem the fact that. From the greek point of view northern countries which are relatively well off even though they too are going to see recessions of 5 to 7 percent which is nothing to sneeze at arent actually from the greek point of view realizing that all europeans are in this together john many things John Psaropoulos our correspondent there reporting live for the news hour from athens lets get more on this joining us here on aljazeera petroff for selassie is the secretary general of the European Movement international and see Civil Society network promoting european integration he joins us on skype from brussels petrol. Good to talk to you again why is this taking us so long. These documents are on the table is ours and im president of nature it is very hard to find Common Ground among all Member States at all there are areas necessary for you to move forward in unison and as it is out there remains in a bit longer it is in a disappointing because there the crisis before us is enormous and b. These 2 are. Probably what is better than waiting it be more try and get the writing clear the rocks aint do that but it is there given that theyve come up with agreement lights over the past few days is there another agree on an agreement that they can thrash out today having been up all last night last night into the wee small hours of this morning is there another agreement they can come up with that everyone could sign up to. I believe that there is were just going to have to leave us find out more nationally sure and considerations of c. N. N. But he didnt dominate the thoughts by certain leaders so they would have to leave those outside anything about the public you know be any interest because when the you are strong thats what everyone but in the weekend is bad for everyone on tour so it is imperative what their Side National to do relations and sing about the common european to bear arms on and they wouldnt be and obviously wait cancel that screams my mate everything reasonably consider or squares my theory but this isnt the time for you know were used to seeing that doesnt mean that ive got to be our leaders rather than just not humanly ok was or is Angela MerkelEmmanuel Mack or the of a hiding behind this kind of photo naivety if you will because clearly from the outset not this summit the last summit which was you know more than a few months ago now it was always predictable surely that the poles the hungary and the latvians the lithuanians the a stone ians they were all going to have problems with not only the amount of money but how it was utilized and handed out within the e. U. I dont think its important of not even given their ambition here is brig and that was that we face high stakes risks especially when it comes to issues like your body its embarrassing for me you lose the principles and im sure. Especially marcy i cruise europe is respecting the bank even strengthen so i think in this particular game celebrity is the crossroad and were going to hear it but conversation that needs to be about its unfortunate that there are conversations taking place at the same time i was a huge amount of money or that they will at least never ends but i think everybody is clear that i did. What the injuries are and then their. Conversations but we are ok heres the thing though when you say its important its crucially important that the e. U. Sticks to its principles if they watered down or jettison say some of those central messages to Member States when it comes to human rights and you know governance Good Governance etc that means that theyll spin it as weve got a deal and its not a case of dont do as i do do as i say but the reality of the agreement before the money starts flowing the reality of the agreement will be something opposite or different to what theyre describing it has. Yes but i think then we need a large degree of speeding not so much in brussels buying more d so the times everybody must come out of these negotiations looking like the winner at the big park i think is the formation to seat firstly the size of the magnitude of their of their explant but these on the table at the moment then i believe that we beat and i believe in and 2nd of all of the need for the ulu i wasnt the ceremony stand the founding principles of that you know we approach it and there there is a much longer palmer Decision Making what leaders will sit in her game but the e. U. Isnt just with the sentiment either of us from Member States youre probably you know the information you have with European Parliament that elected then babies who would have the city on their own it is like there are a lot and immigrants here live in the you so whatever we havent really prominently and booked this process improvement and now were next 3 it was the need to be scrutinized and the lies beneath the men on the believe in each of them and of course in grooming ourselves and yours in similar society lot of the export markets will not make for the finest dollar you know out of that window once the agreement sprouts are ok we have to leave it there petro facilis in brussels many thanks. Ok were talking about in part the frugal for one of the for the netherlands step us in is our correspondent in amsterdam step whats the problem there with whats on the table so far. Well i mean thats the market is playing well for sure hes been called all kinds of names like mr no no bad guy wholl talk to teens actually seen as the leaders of both 4 but hes undeterred so. Has the backing of parliament here and that lens and also a march part of the population the recent survey showed that 61 percent of the population here in the netherlands is not supports and concentrate but its been for a long time already that many dutch people feel that pain too much european country is the conscience they also feel bad about the fact that they have to work here until they are stopped 6 years old or they can retire well in something you are in states the age of retirement its much earlier and so what mark really pushing for is that he can throw Economic Reforms in the companies where the money is going to and thats of course a lot of but he also has elections coming up and thats not our key elements here in this whole fight that hes fighting bronsons because next years elections a big competition with the right lane 5 and the right thing artists here and that very risk out they also have said they want to be you so basically its nice that youre outside but also when elections and to win votes in ways. Margaret is making is hardball and also. International growth by itself but gauging by what hes doing so still very confident he gets all the attention he gets all that this incident european leader he has and fortunes and it seems that that that that lends is not trying to. But it seems that roxanne wants to play a much more Important Role after breakfast its.
