Im in a moment fail all beirut throughout the last few days weve been showing you how volunteer groups have been sweeping the streets cleaning out and fix it filling in the void left by the state but theres also another really pressing read and that is for medical assistance provided by the state the best of times at a very minimum so this is walls well above all its been secured as best as possible by. N. G. O. S Doctors Without Borders medicine something. They are helping out people who you know Urgent Medical assistance and im joined.

For the 1st ones the middle east is we construction money it wants to suit the wants to see a more representative if you like the type of administration their love going to china or a style thats ok because. I asked. So i turn to because you know way more you will immediately see what is the world war where there is no where a lot of news that obviously around after the explosion what were doing here is were providing and cd configuration nonfamily can give you so many patients is that he answered with a smile with the next hour well be providing medication for those people in need who have lost almost everything were also doing whom you can visit so were providing also care its own management for injured give us and were doing this and point of care as you see here but also roaming around in the most affected areas so were talking about infighting and cut and tinos and theyre not going to be all just force the coronavirus which is well in the situation i asked to have you been here were trying to control as much as possible where were aware that covered 1000 assistance a problem around here as well as in the words we are trying as much as possible and just see where in march this year you think martha for people who are who are coming to also put their mark were trying as much as possible to give one to 2 metres distance between people to actually to do the risk of transmission as much as possible before they go medical provision here it was all over it all at the exclusion of all i mean what are people coming to because they lost everything. Well yeah unfortunately yes it was in the its and now its even a bigger thing than what were trying to do as much as possible you try you also to link those people still ask of an organization like providing also. Number 2 for people who are exempted depends on infill and we also have a clinic we have something very sad that our regular operation is a trying to let him down without a regular operations and i miss that thats not how i like it but people need to have Something Like you very much and im a father so as you see filling in the gulf theres a green light by the state and there is an increasingly sort of medical home medical assistance youre seeing here as well as food and as well as helping people to rebuild their homes its obviously very very busy the birds and this is all going on in a building that itself was damaged in the explosion. Yes this building were in it only because hes been merchants and made a safe as possible by the m. S. F. Is that there are teams actually for an engineer in this area theyre checking Building Security runciman german engineers who were just before the whole street though we were all the whole streets to be closed down because many of the buildings the fold down at the moment so prepares their Old Buildings anyway and made very weak by what has happened so there is its a very dangerous environment and the young people you see cleaning up with maybe just a helmet or rubber gloves that caning up in what is a very dangerous environment like glass and bits of masonry a falling down old sign how does it is but its worth reporting live from beirut but it many thanks indeed. Russias president Vladimir Putin says that the country has become the 1st in the world to approve the use of a corona virus vaccine it follows less than 2 months of human trials the president says the vaccine has been given to one of his daughters the speed of the roll and those raising concern that moscow may be putting National Prestige before sound science for this from charley and who joins us live from london charlie tell us more about this vaccine. Well we 1st heard about this vaccine in june when russias gamma Law Institute said that they carried out human trials on 38 people and they had developed antibodies against coded 19 they then moved on to the phase 2 trials involving 100 people but theyve yet to start the phase 3 trials that are going to start on wednesday and that is one of most crucial stages in Clinical Trials involving thousands of people from very different demographics in terms of age and underlying conditions and its the phase when they work out how the drug or the vaccine reacts with other drugs and also possible side effects so until a drug or a vaccine has completed phase 3 trials approval is really very premature and has the Scientific Community worried about the transparency of russias research in this vaccine. But to prove its safety president putin has said that the dose was given to his daughter she developed a slight fever that loss of a 24 hours and then was tested for antibodies against kovan 1000 and showed she had a high antibody levels so its very unusual for the president to ever talk about his children hes 50 guarded their identities from the press so hes obviously very proud of this alleged Scientific Achievement and he says the vaccine is now registered and will be made available within 7 days now the institute says that the vaccine is based on a proven vaccine against a dean a virus which is the common cold theyre calling it sputnik 5 after the 1st russian satellite into space and they say it comes in 2 doses the 1st dose developing some immune response after 21. 00 days the 2nd dose doubling that immunity level and lasting for 2 years so its very unclear how they could come to that conclusion so in the trial phase the Health Ministry says it will be given to doctors and teachers 1st before a Mass Vaccination Program is rolled out across the country in january. That will start with 30000000 doses and theyve also talked about interest from 20 Different Countries for over a 1000000 doses. Theyve mentioned saudi arabia and philippines as possible manufacturing partners and philippines president president deter to has even announced that he will inject himself in public with the vaccine to prove its Safety Security has some support from the philippines but the World Health Organization has come out with a statement in the last hour that says we are in contact with Russian Health authorities discussing the process for possible w. H. O. Prequalification we 1st need to rigorously review and assess all of the required safety and efficacy data so obviously concerns there about the speed of this announcement and theyre also going to be questions about the contents of this vaccine off 5 to Britains NationalCybersecurity Center reported that hackers backed by the russian state had tried to gain access to covert 19 Vaccine Research in academic and pharmaceutical institutions across the world as allegations that moscow denies but the u. K. The u. S. And canada stand by those quite unusual accusations linking them directly to the russian state what does it mean for other vaccines in development we know theres 100 being developed around the world well there are 4 in those phase 3 Clinical Trials at the moment so i think for russia to be saying it is one in this race to find the 1st vaccine against covert 900 is premature until it has that w. H. O. Stamp of approval of 0 as charlie and she were reporting live from london many thanks dr peter is an Infectious Disease medic Global Health expert he joins us now live from oxford peter what do you make of this would you get this job. I would not get this job certainly not outside of a Clinical Trial you know look as we heard this is really only that vaccine has only been tested on at best a couple of 100 people those data have not even been published so even those early results we really only know whats come out in press conferences from politicians but the Scientific Community has not been able to review those data and of course they havent yet on those critical phase 3 trials where you really need thousands of patients to demonstrate both safety and effectiveness so at this stage i really think this is a risky move ok you can understand though the many people around the world are pretty desperate for this kind of news you know that that a vaccine a safe and effective vaccine has been found that could solve all the worlds problems training in one stroke. Well i think we have to be careful not to put too much faith in any vaccine to be a magic bullet against this pandemic its going to be obviously an extremely important tool when once we have them but theres no guarantee theyre going to be 100 percent effective they may only get partial effectiveness or partial immunity we dont know how long they last for so yes were all eager obviously to see these results and are backing all the scientists race around the world to do this but we cant sit back and just wait for the vaccine to come we need to use all the tools at our disposal to control a pandemic thats still raging in much of the world how does what we know about this russian vaccine compared to the vaccines from say the one thats being developed in oxford where you are on the madonna vaccine. The vaccine in russia is based on an add a new virus specter add new virus or a type of virus that causes common colds and they use that to bring in a bit of d. N. A. From the spike protein of the corona virus there are a couple of other candidates that are somewhat similar to that including the one here in oxford as well as one thats undergoing trials in canada from a Chinese Company called can sign the early as olds from china have not been too impressive actually the ones from oxford have been quite encouraging so there are similar vaccine candidates out there that are actually further ahead already in phase 3 trials the material vaccine in the u. S. Use a totally Different Technology and thats good because we want to have vaccines that are trying to attack this from very different angles because it increases our likelihood of success so we can write off this this russian vaccine even though it appears to have been rather rushed i mean it and it may end up being just as effective as any other a vaccine is just that it hasnt gone through all of the the safety testing that is required before it can be released. And given administered why it but we just dont know as i said none of the data from the early trials on this vaccine have been published and so we have no idea whether even the claims that are being made about the safety and the immune response of this virus are true or not i hope theyre true you know once there is a safe and effective vaccine personally i dont care where it comes from we need to Work Together to get this to everybody around the world one of the things that i worry about is that you know this is really more about you know sort of geopolitics and being able to claim victory it may put pressure on other countries to cut corners on safety and effectiveness as well and that could put us all in danger really gets to you peter many thanks indeed talk to peter drew back there in oxford. Thank you new zealand has reported its 1st Community Transmission of the corona virus in more than 100 days from minister just send a hold of auckland into lockdown after 4 you can cases were confirmed and leave all 3 your ass to stay at home in your bubble other than for essential movements such as going to the supermarket or local recreation if you are in oakland you must work from home unless you are an essential Service Worker or schools in child care facilities in oakland are closed as of tomorrow morning except for the children of essential Service Workers and those who are who are involved will remember that it leave all 3 we allow you to x.
