Tanzania the new door raises fears head of elections makes this year. And then score the Los Angeles Lakers leave it to elated to end the 3 game losing streak was my only game that went over the top team in the n. B. A. s western conference. Its now been a whole week since the deadly and catastrophic blast that has thrown the lebanese capital into chaos the public are no closer to finding out who exactly is to blame but all indications point to the government and its handling of sensitive and highly combustible chemicals being stored improperly at the ports lebanons Prime Minister and president were warned just last month about the dangerous material security documents seen by the Reuters News Agency say leaders were told. The 2750 tons of Ammonium Nitrate could destroy the capitol if it exploded it comes after the resignation of lebanons Prime Minister and the cabinet following widespread public fury and government protestors and now holding a vigil sitting near the site of the blast which killed more than 200. 00 people injured thousands and left hundreds more hundreds of thousands more homeless. A 100 joins us now live from beirut she is in there this is where the vigil is being held whats happening there zaina. Well lebannon im remembering the moment changed the lives of so many people that blast on tuesday august the 4th that 6008 destroyed at least 70000 homes made 300000 people homeless and killed 171 people thats the latest figure from the Health Ministry where 30 to 40 people still missing were not very far from beirut for sure what is left of beirut ports were searched and operations continue to find the bodies of those who remain missing there is anger people are still in shock they dont understand how so much highly explosive material was stored in a warehouse in a port that is in the middle of a densely populated city people out singing the National Anthem to pay their respects to the victims of that explosion really you talk to anybody here and everyone has a story to tell a story of tragedy a story of survival and people are they are furious they believe that the authorities have been negligent for decades theyve been incompetent for decades the government the successive governments that have governed this country since the end of the civil war they have provided little basic services to the people but the blood of. Many thats. Had imagine a bull so you can imagine people here are demanding justice accountability and they have little faith in the lebanese authorities. Happily investigating. The blast. So that doesnt hurt us she is live on the ground and thats ok so this is a kind saying i was just explaining to whats happening there this is the video says and just tell us a little bit more of what people are telling you about how they feel now 7 days on. People are angry they want accountability about justice yes and the lebanese government resign but for them this is not enough to leave the Political Class out of this and the dimension of the folks are. Power. Can they leave office we are joined by karl. What do you feel today its been a week. Or so to the day and ruin we want to get out of. The way were told that he doesnt. Read. Or know that you know that they. Are like you will die or go on our lives out of our city is nothing left theres been fighting against this regime for gold on that day because of that there because of how little they care there was a good half of the cities destroyed god we need to get them all out that was on bury our dead or we buried. Their corruption and all of that regime that if they are not letting us survive and live our dreams but its easier said than done burying the Political Class. The fact that that there is that movement id be mourning a National Unity government and not the government. Or that my government or let this happen against any National Union government we want the change completely change of the democratic. Not sure what the government actually represents us we dont want a unity government and docs and we want something that really represents us out for them to just make these and get back together and move on row one them all out at a totally new system that karl thousands of people are in the state theres no doubt but thousands of other teams still support the secretary and says them that they feel protects them they still support the different Political Parties at how well you have or that i may be maybe up on technology that protected them because they had they hadnt seen what happened today but they have begun to get us through the day they cant get that says created a bond that affected every lebanese this regarding religion in this regard they believe this or any. Other lives than anything with everyone with a hand and theyre just not aware of what has happened that you just cant afford to have havent yet and once they lay come i think to get to the them. We can hear this in the 607 time that not 1st block. The runoff there was 2 blasts one after theres a moment of silence there asking. The. Who the. The. The old. The. Home. The. The. Home. Oh ah. Ah 7. The. The the. The. A little much. It is. All illusion a new look at the look. So that was the minutes silence that was held to mark the time of the 1st explosion at the bay reporter one week ago as you can see many people have turned out for all the vigil the plan is that they will show images of the victims of the blast. Perhaps reading out the names there is planned to be a march towards parliament afterward a continuing of of protests weve seen over the past few nights people are still very very angry of course. Government resigned on monday the announcement was made but is staying on in a caretaker capacity many antigovernment protesters feel that is not enough levanon of course was in the middle already of a banking crisis a currency crisis a debt crisis rampant inflation skyrocketing unemployment crumbling infrastructure a very lack of of basic services seems now at the vigil people are watching the images of the blast was images have of course gone around the world those shocking images of the blast that hordes saw a much damage some 170. 00 People Killed and 6000. 00 injured at least 300000 people homeless the cost of this is meant to run into the billions of dollars that is a cost that leben on cannot afford we will be speaking to our correspondent again over the coming hours from now that was in a hot a live in. Now the news russia has become the 1st country in the world to approve the widespread use of a corona virus vaccine it comes after only 2 months of human testing president but in a person has dismissed concerns saying the vaccine is safe and effective he says its even been administered to one of his daughters the w. H. O. Says it wont endorse the russian vaccine without a rigorous safety review really i can just say that we are in close contact with the Russian Health authorities discussions respect possible. Of democracy act again prequalification of. The rigorous review process or. Charlie angela joins us now live from london charlie so now the w. H. O. Was holding talks with russia about this vaccine what what more do we know about the vaccine itself. We 1st heard about this vaccine in june when the gamma Law Institute said it had conducted a small human trial in 30 volunteers and theyd all produced an antibody response to covert 19 they then went on to the phase 2 trials expanded that to 100. 00 volunteers but theyve yet to start the crucial phase 3 Clinical Trials which would use of thousands of volunteers it would normally be conducted over months a wide range of ages and people with underlying conditions and thats the Clinical Trial that really looks at whether or not this vaccine interacts with other drugs or has any side effects and without that trial its very unusual for any vaccine to to receive approval or be registered other countries just wouldnt do it so i think to say that this country has been the 1st to make 1000 back seen is very premise as you said president putin has come out to say that this drug is this vaccine is safe one of his adult daughters took a dose he said she had a fever for about 24 hours and then showed strong antibody response very unusual for the prime for the president to talk about his family especially his daughters hes normally kept their identities closely guarded away from the press so hes always incredibly proud about this alleged chief and in science the institute have dubbed it the sputnik 5 vaccine which is a nod to the 1st satellite in space which was a soviet satellites but nick so theres obviously. A sense of that they are coming 1st again in another race that the world is participating in the president says that this vaccine has now been approved it will be available in 7 days the Health Ministry says it will be given to doctors and teachers 1st before a Mass Vaccination Program starts in russia in january and that they will initially produce 30000000 doses they said that theyve had interest from. Countries who have preordered 1000000000 doses and theyre looking at manufacturing in saudi arabia brazil and the philippines an interesting the president of the philippines due territory has said that he will inject his vaccine in public for all the world to see to show that it is safe. And a viable viable cure for covert 19 and as he said there are serious concerns from the Scientific Community about the speed at which this vaccine has been developed and the lack of transparency none of the data from those 1st 2 phase one of phase 2 Clinical Trials have been made available to the Scientific Community so i think until the w. H. O. Gives its stamp lip of approval we cannot say that russia has won this race thanks so much for the challenges are there live from london the russian vaccine has yet to are the go whats known as phase 3 trials large scale testing thats usually essential to Regulatory Approval some other potential vaccines are already in phase 3 Oxford University is running tests on 10000. 00 people in the u. K. Along with further trials in corona virus hotspots abroad early findings suggest its vaccine is safe and triggers a promising immune response to American Companies and pfizer are also working on vaccines theyre both hoping to test them out on 30000 people in the coming months and china has already rolled out a vaccine but its only available to the military it still needs to undergo more safety tests before it could be approved for the general public or constantine the severity of it is head of barra tree of the walks an institute for microbiology at Rutgers University and professor at the school tech center of Life Sciences he joins us now by skype from moscow thank you so much for your time what do you make of this announcement there in russia do you have any concerns about the speed with which this vaccine has apparently been produced. Well i think whatever you just heard from london certainly something that i share because in the absence of the demonstration. Even the fact that maybe state doesnt really address to. Us and its really protects people from the disease its meant to protect the problem and in the absence of such data which can only be got a very large scale trials including the double blind placebo control groups but up here there would be no indication whatsoever that this is a product that you use that. I guess is what youre talking about those faced 3 trials as large scale trials one usually comes out of that final process is it just about to say also safety tell us a little bit more about that process. Well this will be a combined effect of all save 30 because once you go to much larger numbers we facts which may have not been apparent at the smaller groups may come up when talking about safety or complications from that c. U. Z. Particular groups of people and what have you whether people will feature peoples particular medical conditions but thats because ultimately what everybodys asked all the excuse only purpose is to protect people from getting the or if they do get the disease that what you want that people hornbecks need it to to help the disease in a milder form and in order to do that you need to have a. Group of subjects who are just what subjects which is works in a good and a Comparable Group of control people who are getting it and then these people need to be mindful of that over a substantial period of play such that some of them the percentage from what would be that which would happen simply because the fiction is happening that as we can see and then we need to do Statistical Analysis of both groups to see that the group facsimile that at least based on one parameter and up parameter is to say that early on as the Clinical Trial phase 2 or 3 is approved stands out and it behaves better than the control group ok i just have the president coming out saying we have this vaccine way with we havent given it to my daughter. Do you think people the population in russia trust this that the Mass Vaccination Campaign is meant to stop and for all beginning with teachers and their medical work as i do think people trust this process. Well there are i have my doubts so you know saying that your daughter has been marketing. A book on the other hand the teachers of high schools and the medical professionals who presumably will be the 1st. Cohort to choose because these old states are. People people who can not really say you know right so i dont teach by essentially the form of these free trial but the. School teachers example or somewhat less you can actually. Thanks so much for your time concentrating and all their head of the bar tree up there was an institute for microbiology new zealand has reported its 1st Community Transmission of the car out of iris and more than 100 days Prime Minister just said it has ordered all trenton to locked out after 4 new cases were confirmed at leave or 3 or asked 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 childcare 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 excess go and do a childhood for a level 3 for a scene chill Service Workers only or public facilities as restrung same businesses must close by midday to morrow.
