following the radical left agenda no religion no anything hurt the bible heard god. prisoners who have in modern history joe biden is the puppet of left wing extremists trying to erase our borders eliminate our police we have racists and they've existed then trying to get elected president the 1st one that has this fits into a greater pattern of distrust and the failure of essential institutions in us society whether they favor conservative or liberal policies when it comes to health care americans agree that the centers for disease control and other government institutions designed to protect public health have completely failed the country in the face of coded 19 centers for disease control and r.u. . department of homeland security this job easy to track global pandemic you know what they do they fail you from their chaotic early

response to underestimating the danger to the lack of testing kits and accusations of becoming a political tool the centers for disease control are being hit from all sides other essential institutions of u.s. society are affected by a deep crisis for example law enforcement. are our. recent protests sparked by the killing them. george floyd as well as a long history of police brutality have many americans asking whether or not there are really safe and protected public trust in the police as an institution has been in decline intelligence agencies are yet another example they are expected to gather information and then provide it to the military but lately they seem to have been getting caught up in political squabbles if the 1st people you met from so-called american intelligence were dirty cops who have now proven to be sleaze bags at the highest level you could perhaps understand my reluctance to embrace the

intelligence agencies seem to be competing with each other rather than being focused on getting the job done many wonder if they are up to the task of taking on china which has now been labeled the new big threat the us government and the intelligence community will fail to achieve the outcomes required to enable continued u.s. competition with china on the global stage for decades to come and to protect the us health and security none of this started with donald trump it's been a long pattern of dk and demoralization americans just don't seem to have faith in their leaders and their government like they once did it looks like a lot of key institutions in the united states need a reboot and fast or else who knows what kind of disaster could await america next caleb mop and artsy new york politicians trying to appeal to young voters is often a recipe for cringing and in the mix on the 2020 trail we have seen everything from

of people have raw. lead in central london against a 2nd to lockdown it's due to come into force on thursday as the u.k. follows other nations in europe in an attempt to tackle a big rise in covered 1000 cases was people held up batters accusing the authorities of tyranny for restricting the movement of people the protest happened as the british prime minister made the announcement. we've got to be humble in the face of nature and in this country alas as across much of europe the virus is spreading even faster than the reasonable worst case scenario of our scientific advisors and so now is the time to take action because there is no alternative from thursday until the start of december you must stay at home you may only leave home for specific
10:21 pm
reasons we're not going back to the full scale lockdown of march and april the measures that i've outlined a less privative and less restrictive but i'm afraid from thursday. the basic message is that the city stay at home protect the n.h.s. and save lives the new rules take effect on november 5th and it will last until the 2nd of december all non-essential shops will close along with entertainment venues restaurants and pubs people will be required to work from home where possible however schools colleges and universities will be allowed to stay open after 4 weeks of lockdown the plan is to return england to a system of local targeted restriction as and where the need arises but if coronavirus infection rates don't fall quickly enough government officials have suggested that the restrictions may last longer. since of the start of the pandemic the u.k. has been hit with more than a 1000000 covered 1000 cases and over 46000 deaths the highest number in europe in

the past week the u.k.'s daily infection rate has exceeded $20000.00 political commentator anthony webber believes though that the proposed cure may well be worse than the disease even before that's locked out in response to our up out of the situation warrants how much more until. we become an hour certainly we're going to be accommodated more because we government can somehow afford to add on the moments which the taxpayer will have to pay for the young people of this country lots of people in the future. what will they do you are going to see this nation want to think is going to be produced because there are aspects on trade where there's no. let's pull. the whole thing these disasters we're all in government should be is the best certainly in

the house that beautiful to be true even if any people have to pay for their prescriptions are expensive. and. russian covert 1000 vaccine v has been distributed to the 1st group of volunteers older than 60 the head of the trial said none of the participants showed any significant side effects after getting the initial dose russia has also become one of the 1st countries to apply to the world health organization for an emergency license for the vaccine sputnik v was developed by the galileo institute in moscow advanced stage 3 trials with 55000 volunteers are still underway if russia gets w.h.o. approval it will speed up the availability of the job globally and despite skepticism about the vaccine in the west including claims that corners were cut to russia into production moscow says it has confidence in the drug this comes as russia sees
10:24 pm
a spike in 1000 infections with over 18000 new cases registered in the past 24 hours and the total number of cases exceeding 1600000 the country remains among the worst hit in the world together with the us india and brazil. covert tightening its grip both in russia and worldwide r.t. has heard from a leading evolutionary biologist who has conducted extensive studies into the virus he explains how it mutates and how outbreaks can be dealt with you can catch the full interview on our website but here's a quick preview. i think it's a blessing that coronaviruses evolve more slowly than other r.n.a. viruses but still it's a very quick process the virus mutates every 2 weeks but in one specific lineage what is a specific leni age well thus infects mush mush infects pits and pits infix tanya in such a lineage the virus mutates once but at the same time
10:25 pm
a similar process is taking place across the globe since different viruses acquire different mutations in total we see tens of thousands of mutations we can already see approximately 20000 mutations. that is $20000.00 versions of the same karuna virus that is believed to have her originated and on where. we now see that the common ancestor was around in december or january the genomes of all the coronaviruses we are sequencing and studying right now show that they are all descended from one common ancestor which existed back then so it seems to me very unlikely that the farce in fact that a person before that time. there is a widespread belief that the virus does not exist in order to kill the owner but in order to somehow perfectly adapt to it and live quietly inside them.
10:26 pm
actually this is not what the virus cares about most we know a huge number of examples one of our success didn't put play sions for many many is many centuries and did not weaken smallpox for example measles which is fatal in a large proportion of kate. if there is no treatment but generally it often happens that the mortality rate does not change at all. so there is no guarantee that covert 19 will somehow become less dangerous google must lead its way. when you are in the near future there are no guarantees if that does for me this i'll be back in about 32 minutes let's say 33 minutes of your news this is art international stay with us.

10:29 pm
us president taylor it's great to see it thank you very much. thanks so much for inviting me now you're our latest movie. in the film where our 19 just. 19. in that group you find out any similarities that outbreaks there is shared around what would you. call it 90. the biggest difference is this is the 1st pandemic in the ear of social media and the internet. in that sense that news spreads rapidly throughout the globe almost instantly and so does news service misinformation and rumors and conspiracy theories so although it's seeing very similar phenomenon that we saw in previous pandemics for example panic buying and racism and things like that
10:30 pm
everything is just happening faster in 1000 because of the internet and social media now even mention some of the human. race is. rats. there is anticipatory anxiety that is people becoming very anxious before the the pandemic even arises arrives in the communities and we're seeing this in covered 90 in fact this is similar to what happened previously there was a influenza pandemic in 889890 and that was 'd the 1st pandemic an era of the printing press and the telegraph and so suddenly people were able to get news from all over the world the next day and that made people worried so places like london for example.
