it's a store for the 1st people opened 17 books a nation centers across moscow of moscow people can apply for vaccination online exclusively and that this council for now only for people working in health care education as well as in a social services there are certain requirements for these people apart from their profession and that is that there are between 18 and 60 years of age they don't suffer any chronicle diseases serious chronicle diseases like diabetes or serious heart to liver kidney problems they have to be healthy at the moment of for the vaccination and they register only for the 1st shot alphabetically when they get their 1st shot they will be registered for the 2nd one in 3 weeks time now the whole procedure is supposed to take an hour per patient that is 10 minutes to estimate the general health of the person then 15 minutes to prepare the vaccine

the vaccine has to be kept on temperatures below minus 18 celsius and then half an hour for the observation after the short has been given to a person the vice prime minister of russia at the end of all of us said that so far they have some 168000 vaccines that have been produced for the general population they expect to have 2000000 by the end of this month i have to say that these 6 nation essex nations starts officially today but it's been happening quietly by a couple of weeks some doctors have been offered to get shots army independently started x. in a day and it's burst now and according to the minister of defense they've got some $15000.00 books in so far and he says that the tempo of vaccination within the army is like $500.00 people per day i have to also say. that the russians have been warned that after the 1st shots the next $42.00 days they have to be careful they

have to be keep on wearing masks keeping a physical distance but also to restrain from use of alcohol or any medication that's a very it suppresses the immune system because what they say here is you build up your full immunity after 42 days after the 1st shot and many people alexandra remain skeptical about this seen both inside and outside russia why is that. what you see of the 3rd phase clinical trial is not yet finished actually it should be finished on 1st of may 2021 so no one saw the results of this 3rd phase what we have is the institute of going to lay saying that the 1st 22000 people who have been participating in the study 25 percent of them receiving placebo are feeling ok and that they are efficiency of this vaccine is between 92 and

95 percent after 42 days but as i say no one saw it is they that the other thing is that this was the 1st registered it was seen in the world and it was rather stated immediately after the 2nd phase of clinical trial has been finished which was done on a small group of healthy individuals and it was rather stated before does results were published they were eventually published and they did a peer review but as i was saying the 3rd phase of clinical trials is not yet finished and it also can explain why there is a whole list of chronical diseases that the people who have them are not going to be able to get the shot it might be a precaution measure thank you for that and xander gartrell lives there in moscow. and the pandemic is getting worse in the united states since just the past day more than 2500 people died from cold in 1000 and they've been nearly a quarter of

a reflection of fewer consumers shopping in physical stores restaurants bars and hotels saw a modest job growth but many continued to struggle amid the pandemic with parts of the country beginning to reimpose restrictions on businesses trying to state lines you know. if. you're going to close this is it will be not enough shelter and. food so there's a balance or a little you know right there in all nearly 10000000 jobs lost since the pandemic have yet to return with a rising proportion of the unemployed describing their jobs as gone for good i must congress approves another aid package before the end of the year millions of unemployed workers stand to lose all of their jobless assistance and president elect biden says that should be just the 1st step he plans to introduce more measures to stimulate the economy as soon as he's inaugurated on january 20th

a very different poll in kuwait from the previous ones in many ways that's right for the 1st and foremost is the in fact that covert 19 has had on the election season in the past you would see a lavish bank banquets being held you would see huge dinners being held as campaign events where people would meet face to face and candidates could talk about their platforms obviously with the restrictions in place in kuwait a country where there was a months long lockdown earlier this year that wasn't possible in this election season instead what you had is a lot of candidates migrating online especially younger candidates and female candidates trying to have those debates in a virtual space trying to connect with potential voters online and that's something that really has changed the dynamic of this political season in kuwait now as you mentioned one of the things that's been very interesting to see is that kuwait a country where women were only allowed to vote starting in 2005 this year you have a record number of women as candidates you have 29 women who are really interesting to see how they perform once the results are coming in but as far as any potential

shift politically analysts have said that in kuwait the opposition has really been weakened in the past few years and so they're not expecting any huge major political shifts as the outcome of this election this year also one of the main issues said that the new parliament is going to have to take up on it well what you're hearing from candidates up until now is are talking about wanting to protect people's freedom of expression they're talking about wanting to ensure that there are jobs for a very large young population in kuwait but really one of the key things that's going to come out of this election is what's going to happen with this huge public debt bill in kuwait this is something the government has wanted to pass for a while because as you mentioned a few in. to go there is a liquidity crisis a financial crisis in kuwait right now the country is heavily in debt and because of that the government wants to be able to borrow more so they can spend more going forward moody's has downgraded kuwait for the 1st time in its history and the fact is that the finance minister in kuwait and other officials have said that the

country is at risk right now of perhaps not being able to pay out salaries in the upcoming months that's how dire the situation has got even though kuwait is a very wealthy country now $1.00 of the reasons why there is skepticism about this bill and has been up until now is because there have been many financial and corruption scandals the past few years involving politicians because of that there is growing skepticism toward the government about what would happen with those funds if this bill is passed so this is going to be one of the key things the government's going to want to see the parliament push through in the coming months many people who've been running for parliament have expressed skepticism as to whether this bill is the right way to go so that's really going to be the key thing as far as will it be passed how many people will support it and what will happen economically in kuwait going forward. thank you very much for that. authorities in bangladesh has sent the 1st group of rangar refugees from a camp toy remote island despite pleas from some to abandon the mole's more than

undocumented teens and young adults of life for residency castro has more from washington. we know that trump still has more than a month left in office but certainly the court ruling today is a death knell to one of his signature hardline immigration accomplishments of his time in office now we know that trump won office partly by his promise to undo this obama era program that trump had called amnesty to young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the united states as children at its peak that obama program called dhaka assisted about 800000 immigrants and gave them work permits as well as temporary protection from deportation will as soon as trump took office he his white house attempted to cancel the program altogether only to have that effort stopped at the level of the u.s.

supreme court that didn't stop the administration's attempt to diminish the programs as much as possible only to confront now this latest hurdle from a federal judge ruling today that the program must be fully restored which means new applicants must be accepted as early as this coming monday course this is a victory for immigration advocates but it's one that they had foreseen for a while it's come earlier than expected given that president elect joe biden had already promised to help these so-called dreamers but the timing of that coming now before trump is even left office certainly it's a symbolic blow to the president's legacy when it comes to immigration. argentina is turning to its super rich to help people struggling because of cover 19 the senate has approved a bill to tax large fortunes with the hopes of raising more than $3000000000.00 but opponents say it will prevent future investment and slow down the economic recovery

government has increased for some cost on dollars from most people so it's not enough. argentina is struggling with inflation and recession it's also renegotiating its falling debt with the i.m.f. . the government now is desperate need of money and that's why it is imposing a special tax on those who have over $2500000.00 money raised by the tax is to be used to buy hospital equipment fund welfare subsidies and loans for small and medium sized businesses with the aim of increasing employment board to get the most of the new law is a request we make to the wealthiest people in the country people not companies and we say the richest because of the things they own in the country and abroad this also extends to residents in other parts of the world to keep their properties in argentina. but some sectors in the country say the new tax will be terri investment and will promote capital flight as it was
