"It has been proven in other countries, but not here in Brazil," he said, without specifying to which potential vaccine he was referring. Sao Paulo state Gov. João Doria, a former Bolsonaro ally turned foe, said in an interview with The Associated Press on Friday that immunization cannot be viewed as a personal decision.

| UN Assembly president: 'Inclusion is key' for virus vaccine Posted: 04 Sep 2020 03:48 PM PDT  The president of the U.N. General Assembly is warning that a vaccine for COVID-19 must be made available to everyone who needs it because if just one country is left out the world will still face a crisis from the coronavirus. As the world looks to a vaccine and a post-COVID-19 world, Tijjani Muhammad-Bande also says that "inclusion is key, because without inclusion the suffering of those who are already left behind, will continue — and we cannot guarantee peace in that kind of a context." Muhammad-Bande said the pandemic, perhaps ironically, has defied initial predictions that developing countries would be hardest hit because many of their health systems are poorer.

| Exclusive: Michel Barnier to be sidelined by EU leaders in bid to break Brexit deadlock Posted: 04 Sep 2020 12:24 PM PDT  European Union chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier is set to be sidelined by EU leaders in a bid to get a breakthrough in the negotiations about a trade treaty with the UK. Representatives of the bloc's 27 member states expect Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, to pave the way for heads of state and government to intervene in the deadlocked talks in a September 16 flagship speech. EU leaders are hoping that by stepping in to get the talks moving, it will help bridge the deep divides between the two sides, allowing Mr Barnier and his UK opposite number Lord Frost to agree the details. Two more rounds of trade negotiations are scheduled this month, with the first taking place in London next week, but the two sides remain divided. Relations between the UK and EU have descended into mutual recriminations, with both sides blaming each other for the deadlock after no progress on the major issues of fishing and state aid. Time is now running out, with Mr Barnier previously warning that a deal must be agreed by the end of October, to give the EU time to ratify the agreement before the end of the year.

| Russia’s coronavirus vaccine safe but needs further tests, say UK scientists Posted: 04 Sep 2020 12:02 PM PDT  Russia's "fast-track" Covid-19 vaccine is safe and produces two forms of immune response against the virus, according to a study in the Lancet. The findings appear to justify some of the claims made by Vladimir Putin in early August, and follow weeks of demands for transparency from the international scientific community. However, the new study of two early-phase trials reveals that the drug has so far only been tested on a total of 76 people - and not by the most rigorous of methods. This means it will need to progress a much larger "phase 3" trial, involving thousands of participants, before experts can know how well it works. UK scientists on Friday called on Moscow's Gamaleya Centre, where the vaccine is being developed, to resist political pressure to release doses to the general public before all the results are known. Nevertheless they welcomed data suggesting that the 'Sputnik V' candidate stimulates an antibody response, and also a T-Cell response. Antibodies have been the original focus of many of the prominent vaccine candidates, but virologists have always cautioned that coronavirus antibodies may only last a matter of months and that there is no guarantee they prevent infection. Far less is known about T-cells, but there is some emerging evidence to suggest they do provide good protection and last far longer.

| Biden slams Trump over alleged comments mocking US war dead Posted: 04 Sep 2020 11:08 AM PDT  Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden declared President Donald Trump "unfit" for the presidency on Friday, delivering an impassioned reaction to a report that Trump — who never served in uniform — allegedly mocked American war dead. The allegations, sourced anonymously, describe multiple offensive comments by the president toward fallen and captured U.S. service members, including calling World War I dead at an American military cemetery in France "losers" and "suckers" in 2018. The reported comments, many of which were confirmed independently by The Associated Press, are shining a fresh light on Trump's previous public disparagement of American troops and military families.

The Democratic presidential nominee told reporters of his testing protocol during a wide-ranging news conference in which he blasted Trump for downplaying the coronavirus and thus ensuring that it will continue to kill Americans and ravage the economy. For much of the summer, Biden's advisers deflected questions about whether the former vice president was being tested himself as he anchored his campaign almost exclusively from his Delaware home, traveling sparingly as a precaution.

| NATO demands Navalny investigation as EU mulls sanctions Posted: 04 Sep 2020 10:42 AM PDT  NATO demanded Russia cooperate with an international investigation into the poisoning of Alexei Navalny on Friday, as EU diplomats cast doubt over whether the bloc could impose sanctions on Moscow. Jens Stoltenberg, the alliance's secretary general, said the suspected use of Novichok against the Russian opposition leader meant the Kremlin had "serious questions to answer". "NATO allies agree that Russia now has serious questions, it must answer, the Russian government must fully cooperate with the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons on an impartial international investigation," he said. Dominic Raab, the Foreign Secretary, has supported calls for an investigation into the "utterly deplorable" poisoning and has not ruled out British sanctions. The White House has suggested the US might impose sanctions if Russia is to blame for the poisoning of Mr Navalny. On Thursday, Josep Borrell, the EU's chief diplomat, refused to rule out sanctions against Russia after Angela Merkel accused Moscow of using the chemical weapon to poison Mr Navalany, who was flown to Germany for treatment earlier this week. But EU diplomats were not convinced that there would be the necessary unanimous support for the punitive measures, which would require the backing of all 27 member states at a Brussels summit. The 2018 Novichok poisoning of the Skripals in Salisbury resulted in strong condemnation of Moscow and the coordinated expulsion of Russian diplomats but not in EU sanctions. After Skirpal, and in one of the UK's last diplomatic efforts as an EU member state, the bloc agreed a mechanism to respond to chemical weapons attacks such as those with Novichok, which can result in sanctions. But diplomats said it would be even more difficult to establish the facts in the poisoning because it took place on Russian territory. "At this stage the question is who do you sanction and how can you find out what happened in Russia?", one diplomat told the Telegraph. "It is difficult. If forced to make a prediction, I'd say as things stand we are more likely to have statements condemning rather than full sanctions but we are at the early stages of this." A second diplomat added, "At this stage we are investigating exactly what happened, it is too early to discuss sanctions in detail until we have more information." MEPs called for the bloc to impose sanctions over the poisoning and push for an international investigation. "We remain extremely sceptical that Russian authorities are fit and willing to investigate the real background of this crime," the European Parliament lawmakers said in a letter to Mr Borrell and Germany, which holds the rotating presidency of the EU.

| US wildlife agency seeks to carve out areas from protections Posted: 04 Sep 2020 10:38 AM PDT  A Trump administration proposal released Friday would allow the government to deny habitat protections for endangered animals and plants in areas that would see greater economic benefits from being developed — a change critics said could open lands to more energy development and other activities. Government-issued leases and permits can allow energy development, grazing, recreation, logging and other commercial uses of public lands. It's the latest move by the Trump administration in a years-long effort to repeal regulations across government that has broadly changed how the Endangered Species Act gets used.

Chairman Carlos Ghosn out of Japan while he was awaiting trial on financial misconduct charges can be extradited, a federal judge ruled Friday. U.S. Magistrate Judge Donald Cabell issued a ruling approving the extradition of Michael Taylor, a U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, and his son Peter Taylor, but the final decision rests with the State Department. The Taylors are wanted by Japan so they can be tried on charges that they helped Ghosn flee the country last year with the former Nissan boss tucked away in a box on a private jet.

| Merkel pressured to halt Nord Stream pipeline after alleged Navalny poisoning Posted: 04 Sep 2020 10:18 AM PDT  German Chancellor Angela Merkel is facing mounting pressure over her country's ties with Russia after her government concluded that Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny had been poisoned with a military grade nerve agent. "We must pursue hard politics," Norbert Roettgen, the conservative head of Germany's parliamentary foreign affairs committee, said Friday, adding that Germany should respond with the "only language" Russian President Vladimir Putin understands. Roettgen, a senior member of Merkel's Christian Democratic Union, appeared to be echoing calls from other party lawmakers who have called for the government to reconsider the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which is poised to double natural gas imports to Germany directly from Russia.

At a press briefing on Friday, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said vaccines have been used successfully for decades, and credited them with eradicating smallpox and bringing polio to the brink of being eliminated. "I would like to assure the public that WHO will not endorse a vaccine that's not effective and safe," Tedros said.

| Boris Johnson defies opposition MPs as he appoints Tony Abbott as British trade envoy Posted: 04 Sep 2020 09:52 AM PDT  Tony Abbott has been appointed as a British trade envoy as Boris Johnson defied calls from opposition MPs to block the move over claims that he is a "homophobe and misogynist." Mr Abbott, who served as prime minister to Australia between 2013 and 2015, will now serve as an advisor to the Board of Trade as the UK attempts to strike post-Brexit trade deals around the world. On Friday night Tory MPs praised Mr Johnson for refusing to cave to demands from Sir Keir Starmer and Nicola Sturgeon that Mr Abbott be rejected over his past remarks on homosexuality, women and climate change. The Board will be headed by trade secretary Liz Truss, with Mr Abbott joining a group of advisers including the Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Ireland secretaries, and four junior trade ministers. Marcus Fysh, the Tory MP for Yeovil, will act as Ms Truss's deputy. Other advisers include former Tory MEP Dan Hannan, who missed out on a peerage earlier this year, Patricia Hewitt, the former Labour health secretary, Anne Boden, the founder of Starling Bank, City of London Mayor William Russell and Dr Linday Yueh, an economist at Oxford University. In a sign of potential friction between some of the new appointees, Ms Boden on Friday night appeared to take a swipe at Mr Abbott over his past remarks on women. Writing on social media, Ms Boden said it was "important that we have challenging voices at such an important body" before sharing an article on a speech by Julia Gillard, a former Australian leader and political rival of Mr Abbott's, who in 2012 accused him of misogyny. "I support diversity and so did this woman," she added.

| Sudanese government, key rebel group to restart peace talks Posted: 04 Sep 2020 09:14 AM PDT  Sudan's transitional government and a powerful rebel group that controls large swaths of the country's restive south said Friday they have agreed to resume peace talks, a development that boosts hopes of ending the country's decades-long civil wars. The commitment comes days after the government reached a deal with other rebel groups to quell conflicts stemming from the rule of ousted autocrat Omar al-Bashir.

The order to halt publication by Sept. 30, and dissolve the organization by the end of January, follows the Pentagon's move earlier this year to cut the $15.5 million in funding for the paper from the Defense Department budget. The letter, signed by 15 senators — including Republicans and Democrats — also warns Esper that the department is legally prohibited from canceling a budget program while a temporary continuing resolution to fund the federal government is in effect.

In a study published Friday by The Lancet, the first-ever vetted analysis of Russia's potential COVID-19 treatment, researchers revealed the two-dose vaccine "led to no serious adverse events" in any participants.

| IAEA: Iran continues to expand stockpile of enriched uranium Posted: 04 Sep 2020 07:45 AM PDT  Iran continues to increase its stockpile of enriched uranium in violation of limitations set in a landmark deal with world powers, but has begun providing access to sites where it was suspected of having stored or used undeclared nuclear material and possibly conducted nuclear-related activities, the U.N.'s atomic watchdog agency said Friday. The International Atomic Energy Agency reported in a confidential document distributed to member countries and seen by The Associated Press that Iran as of Aug. 25 had stockpiled 2,105.4 kilograms (2.32 tons) of low-enriched uranium, up from 1,571.6 kilograms (1.73 tons) last reported on May 20. Iran signed the nuclear deal in 2015 with the United States, Germany, France, Britain, China and Russia.

The demonstrations that started in late May after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis have divided residents and embarrassed the city's beleaguered Democratic mayor. The slaying of the right-wing Trump supporter gunned down after he came downtown last weekend with a pro-Trump caravan of pickup trucks pushed the crisis further toward a breaking point.

Belarusians have turned out in en masse for nearly four weeks to protest the official election results that gave Lukashenko a sixth term with 80% of the vote.

Prude apparently stopped breathing as police in Rochester, New York, were restraining him and died when he was taken off life support a week later. Prude's death and the actions of the police officers — who covered the man's head with a "spit hood" during the confrontation — have intensified the debate over whether police should be responding to calls about people suffering mental health crises.
