Sorry the fight against covert 19 has taken a small but potentially significant step the Lancet Medical Journal has published encouraging results from scientists at Oxford University who have been conducting an early human testing for a corona virus. Vaccine heres what they found 1st of all it did not cause any serious side effects and it produced a strong immune response its not yet confirmed though whether the vaccine will react the same way when it actually responds to the virus right now its been tested in large numbers in the u. K. As well as south africa and brazil next week it will also be tested on about 30000 participants in the United States all that there are more than 250. 00 vaccines being produced around the world and 23. 00 of them are already in human trials the World Health Organization has welcomed the progress but cautioned much more work needs to be done and that a vaccine should be made available to everyone with political commitment of course. Thats the only way you can get you know Fair Distribution but one of the worrying part of this we see is. Some countries moving in the other direction of course more and more countries are joining the. Benefits the advantages of making this Global Public good. Evening in oxford in the u. K. Thats where we find paul brennan poll obviously we take the cab gets that this is just a 1st step jay its good to get some good news. It is i think the sun is shining on the oxford researches hits and i its very pleased frankly couldnt have gone much better the results would have been published in the medical journal the lancet which peer reviews essentially the early preliminary findings of the Research Group have looked at what the researchers did with 1077. 00 test subjects volunteers during the period from the end of april to the sort of mid may 56 days and what it found was that the substance that they were given which was a kind of genetically modified common cold virus that you find in chimpanzees that they genetically modified it so thats the the glycoprotein spikes on it mimicked the corona virus that produced an immune response within the human body of the test subjects the volunteers in 2 elements 1st of all antibodies which are very important. To the virus and prevent the virus from infecting other cells but also t. Cells now certain there are a variety of t. Cells but one in particular is a kind of killer t. Cell which attacks and destroys the virus cells when they get into the body what they found in the 1077 was that both responses were being provoked by the substance by the potential vaccine that they were injected with and thats really important and whats equally as important is the fact that the side effects were largely minimal no problems really at all bit of tiredness some headaches as well but they were easily treatable with with paracetamol can you take me through and take out viewers through the phases as well what phase is this trial at and what does that actually mean does it give us some sort of timeline. Well the findings published in the lancet relating to that test the test period of 56 days from april to may that was phase one stroke to a relatively small sample but because it was known even before today that no side effects had been provoked by this treatment theyve already moved to phase 3 now thats really important phase 3 is where they use volunteers more than 10000 of them at a large scale test and theyre doing phase 3 both in the u. K. But most importantly in places like south africa brazil and as you say in the United States to why is that important is because what we dont yet know about this potential vaccine we know it provokes a immune response within the body but how much protection does that immune response give when youre actually exposed to the corona virus for a virus is not that prevalent here in the u. K. But it is prevalent at the infection rates are high in south africa and in brazil so the volunteers there who are vaccinated with this oxford vaccine potential vaccine the real crunch will be how do they respond when exposed to corona virus and that is when youre going to find out whether or not this has real effectiveness and how how much power and potential this potential vaccine has for the combating of corona virus some positive news from paul brennan there in oxford in the u. K. Thank you paul lets expand on what paul was telling us about the trial process a vaccine 1st of all basically a type of medicine the trains the bodys immune system it contains weekend or dead bacteria and viruses it is introduced into the body so that it can fight it is these that it has not come into contact with before and then we get these human trials as we were saying 3 phases in the 1st you just have that small number of volunteers which are given the vaccine 1st of all go to see if its safe in the 2nd phase hundreds more are tested to see if the vaccine is in is effective and they monitor for any side effects and by the time youre at the 3rd phase were looking at thousands of volunteers who are studied in areas where they are supposed to the virus along with people without vaccinations. Please stay with me through all of that we got some Expert Opinion from what for a little bit earlier who is a professor of epidemiology and medicine at Columbia University she says this is exciting this is encouraging news we now have another vaccine thats poised to move into what we call please 3 studies which are really the definitive studies as well tell us if the vaccine works and if it is safe in the large numbers of participants and so this is a very important milestone for this vaccine in particular i think we have to be very cautious because down this one of this phase one to study was done a little a little bit more than a 1000 participants sometimes you really need to study if axion a much Larger Population or did you see really are side effects so i think its important for us to move ahead to the larger studies that were recruited maybe 30000 individuals and and hope that someday our side effect does not manifest itself once you are using it in a Larger Population so i think its very critical to do the larger studies not only in terms of the safety but also of course to demonstrate where there and the sex scene can work to prevent infection. Theres also concern as well in terms of what will happen when individuals who have been vaccinated actually are exposed to infection in thats another dimension where we have to watch very carefully the in your response in the body then once the individual whos been vaccinated is exposed to true interaction so thats about treating the disease youve also got to treat the effects the economic effects and in what was their 1st face to face meeting in brussels since the pandemic began talks between european leaders were planned for just 2 days now into their 4th day as they try to agree on this Recovery Plan at stake an 857000000000. 00 deal but still there is disagreement over how to distribute it. We are having a son now last night after long negotiations we worked out a framework for a possible agreement this is a step forward and gives hope that an agreement may be reached today or at least an agreement is possible im very glad that we the french president and i made the pushing me for a really substantial program in this exceptional situation it was clear that it incredibly tough it will continue today but exceptional situations also require exceptional efforts so how does it all break down well youve got the a use for biggest economies the likes of france and germany italy and spain they take the side which favors most of this money being paid out as a grant the other side is led by what theyre calling the frugal for that is the netherlands austria denmark and sweden who want well theyre ok with grants but they want those to be smaller and instead have bigger loans then there are countries like hungry in poland who object to the proposal being tied to democratic rights and also have some personal spats with some other members lets talk about life in paris keeping an eye on things what do you tell us 1st of all about president micron and what hes been saying today. Well present mike ross been saying what hes been saying all along during this whole process is this matter of than e. U. Summit continues he says that is absolutely vital that the e. U. 27 their Member States back this Recovery Plan for the European Union to help the economies recover from the pandemic the pandemic which of course is still among us now whats micro is saying is not only is there of course a real urgency now because of the Health Crisis but this is also a time for the European Union to step up to show unity solidarity and come together because what he says is if the European Union fails to help people in europe pella fails to help we can Member States right now then many people in europe may turn their back on the European Union it might feel anti e. U. Sentiment and that could possibly put the very future of the European Union in stake if people in the next elections for example decide to back. You parties now thats why micro is very adamant the what they eat you needs to do right now he says is show ambition. To not meet a spirit of compromise and ambition is to take the risk of returning to harder times and for some who are concerned about this in the end it may end up costing us even more so i will continue to fight on these subjects in particular with german chancellor Angela Merkel since as you know weve worked together a lot over the past days and nights so are we then seeing natasha moment in time a moment in european history where the small european nations are standing up and saying no our voice must be heard as well traditionally when we think youre we think of the big players the france and the spains and italys and germanys but these smaller countries are standing up so much more. Well we heard of we heard from the austrian leader actually earlier in the day saying just that saying look you know this is no longer when i longer in the time when france and germany say were going to do this and everyone follows there are 27 Member States and iran has a voice and whats happening is that you know were seeing the split between france and germany but you know also italy and spain and other Member States saying we need to back this fund is absolutely necessary to deal with the current virus pandemic and you have other more fiscally conservative states more concerned states such as the netherlands in austria are saying no were worried about boring this amount of money from the Financial Markets as is being proposed by the e. U. Commission and also were worried about our shared debt so that is why theyve been pushing very march for a series of loans rather than grants they would like those loans to come with conditions are and what were seeing now though is the e. U. Council head is actually put on the table a proposal and thats whats now being discussed in brussels among those e. U. Leaders a proposal which would see this Recovery Fund roughly divided nearly 5050 between a series of grants and loans so that might please everyone or it might not please anyone at all it really depends we have to see whether or not the leaders would be ready to sign off on that proposal and then if they would this would mean that they had reached an agreement and so we continue to wait dont we Natasha Butler in paris thank you. European leaders have blamed the dutch Prime Minister mark for singlehandedly blocking a deal for the covert 19 Recovery Fund in europe but hes been under target made all those accusations that vasant has a report now from amsterdam. Marketa described it as a lonely fight never before has a dutch Prime Minister been so heavily criticized at a european summit in art im very i dont care im working hard for the interests of does citizens which are closely linked to european interests and all those comments ill just ignore them i cant be distracted by them i see myself as someone who fights for you and other dirt citizens and for that its important that theres a strong europe that can overcome this crisis the dutch Prime Minister is leading a group called the frugal for also consisting of sweden denmark and austria who wants trick conditions for Financial Support to poorer european nations struggling with the economic fallout of covert 19 and margaret is playing hardball because there is no United Kingdom in the negotiations. In previous years the dutch could always Work Together with the brits and the brits would take the lead i would say sort of against france and germany there is no u. K. Now so russia has to do it all by himself with parliamentary elections next year and a growing number of euro skeptics among the electorate market could be hoping his stubbornness in brussels winds him faute at home i dont negotiate the process of dutch have been called state but many here dont see that as an insult theyre proud to be tough negotiators and get as much as they can as cheap as possible like here at the market most in the netherlands still support the European Union but increasingly many here feel that dutch taxpayers are paying too much this trust of e. U. Spending has grown in the netherlands since the last financial crisis in 2008 and the large bailout package for greece and not a source of resentment here is the early retirement age in southern European Countries compared to the netherlands the thing with the dutch is that the dutch a very outspoken very direct and so is mr i think. But his point is a fair and good point and we. Are one of the founders of the European Union we believe strongly in the European Union but if the European Union does not in itself finds a way to to modernize and be a more. Useful less spending organization it will go you know it will keep having these problems and these discussions namecalling nobody cares i think its good that we give the southern European Countries money but i understand margaret a very well that he wants strict conditions i support him but i find it troubling that we are now being seen as the hardliners within europe i dont really like that but i understand why they see you as the sweet while the talks have been tough and long and brussels Prime Minister to may end up gaining at home for his hard nosed approach step fasten aljazeera amsterdam. Who is with us now c. E. O. Of the steps center for european policy studies hes on skype from brussels maybe just as weve been listening to that report about about the netherlands do you think that the dutch Prime Minister has anything to answer to there that hes caused any problems unnecessary or otherwise. I mean you see there are some of those now lasting or at least for if they started on friday they still havent gotten to inclusion all to the Council President has an hour ago said that hes definitely a compromise but i think a maybe or doing it there has been a lot of reaction against the dutch above all from the point of your lets set up they have this out again that if youre lets say like day are better than all of us but also all attend that the netherlands what is very well known is a basic it backs heaven there are many for example from portugal manicotti from portugal reach are based in the netherlands which have their Holding Company in the netherlands just because the regime is much more lenient than it is an article and this is a lot of articles that happens also pretty or for fragile also for our Spanish Companies and also for all the strong United States for example so the dutch are taking at it you basically its not that a justifier on the other hand of course they are they have represent a bit ahead of you not only from the netherlands or if you see the conservative right but also be extreme right Certain Center which are against you but also from austria from sweden from denmark which do not want you to take this huge step for those who have to not let it what is the table now is doubling of the budget we have about the budget only of one percent of g. D. P. 40 i mean for the e. U. To basically dispute about the Member States this would bring it to 2 percent of g. D. P. And the big advantage would be like for cutting back spain and italy which has got a big hit you know dont forget that spain may go down to earth percent of g. D. P. If spain has to borrow the money itself on the markets it will be much more expensive than it you those at that sell mean even with a
