10:13 am
of the reasons why they're confident that this is safe that this is going to work nevertheless obviously you have to test it you to meet criteria and it is now up to the world health organization. we have submitted an application for emergency use listing and prequalification of the vaccine by the world health organization which will allow sputnik we to be included in the list of medical products that meet the leading quality safety and efficacy standards we express our gratitude to the world health organization for its active cooperation and look forward to the successful completion of the prequalification process at all major stages look the 2nd wave is well and truly here it is proving exceptionally damaging exceptionally painful you records being set all over the world in russia on tuesday a new record in daily deaths from. 30350 people

10:16 am
normally speaking the role of the media is to inform the public this mission is now on hold large parts of the media landscape particularly big to believe intervenes in determining what the public can know and from whom has controlled speech. freedom of speech. welcome back without a now as part of its maximum pressure campaign against iran the trumpet ministration has imposed sweeping new sanctions on the country the measures target companies washington claims fund the iranian revolutionary guard but the move has provoked also a stern response from tehran. the u.s. must be ready to respond to the damages it's inflicted on the iranian people during the withdrawal period as it returns to the j c p o n e agreements and of course prepared to make other commitments about not repeating such violations many to view the sanctions as an attempt by the trump ministration
10:17 am
to scupper any chances of a new deal with iran should there be a change of president ma joe biden has pledged to rejoin the iran nuclear agreement he said he still maintain he would still maintain restrictions when it comes to iran's alleged human rights abuses and support of terror groups more pain now looks at how the candidates foreign policies do actually have more in common than you might think. the trump administration has imposed sanctions like mad country after country that has earned washington's ire has been hit with banking isolation trade restrictions and other acts that amount to basically economic warfare no president in all of us history has imposed as many economic sanctions as us president donald trump now will this change under joe biden let's examine it from a case by case basis. will iran get sanctions relief
10:18 am
with joe in the white house he says no we will continue to use targeted sanctions against iran's human rights abuses its support for terrorism and ballistic missile program. trump's trade war with china is his crowning achievement but by he has no intention of undoing it in fact his rhetoric on the issue is about the same as trump's we need to get tough which. is china has its way it's going to keep it's going to keep moving and robin u.s. firms for technology intellectual property and for she american companies to give away give it away in order to do business in china we are now make it it clear to china. that after years of targeting our industries and stealing our intellectual property the theft of american jobs and wealth. has come to an end when it comes to trade wars biden's hands could be tied there's so much anti china
10:19 am
rhetoric he couldn't just lift the tariffs different sauce but the same general position i will use tariffs when they are needed but the difference between me and trump is that i will have a strategy a plan to use those tariffs to win not just a fake toughness were taken in right now hundreds of billions of dollars we're taking in billions of dollars of tariffs what we've done thus far with china we've never take it in $0.10 until i get elected now we take it in billions and billions . another hotspot venezuela where donald trump and joe biden take identical positions they both support one guede oh the unelected self-proclaimed president of venezuela and they want to go out biden once more sanctions on venezuela not less the u.s. should push for a stronger multilateral sanctions so that supporters of the regime cannot live study short or hide their assets in the united states europe or latin america.
10:20 am
then there is washington's biggest ally europe they are not happy with donald trump's stance on nato and germany is not particularly pleased with the white house's efforts to kill the nord stream to pipeline either with tensions rising the german foreign minister says that not much will really change in that department under a new administration those in europe who are now betting everything on a change in the white house should be prepared for the fact that even in that case it will not be as comfortable as it once was us foreign and security policy has changed and not just since strong became president if you scour recent history it's pretty hard to find an example of sanctions actually working but lack of results does not seem to be a factor biden seems like he will be just as committed to these policies as donald trump up and r.t. new york meanwhile trying to appeal to young voters can lead to some cringe worthy
