the administration treatment, he would never walk again. something

24 hour news live from the russian capital. this is your r.t. international pleasure. your company, my names, you know me. the transition process for the u.s. presidency is still in limbo with donald trump refusing to concede defeat. but joe biden is already lining up candidates for his proposed administration faces

from the obama. we've heard from the biden harris administration that they have named 6 individuals that will be in their cabinet, one of those the nominee and the person they will select for their secretary of state is anthony blinken. now anthony blinken is certainly not a newcomer to the washington d.c. foreign policy establishment. he served as a deputy assistant to president barack obama as a national security advisor to joe biden, as well as a deputy secretary of state. he has indicated that basically under his leadership of the u.s. state, department trumps america. 1st foreign policy will most likely come to an end, whether we like it or not. the world simply doesn't organize itself and until the trumpet, ministration. the united states had played a lead role in doing a lot of good organizing and helping to write the rules. and joe biden starts with the proposition that we need to reassert american engagement in american leadership . let's examine his record to see what we can possibly expect to. now, blinken was

a big supporter of the usa as unilateral invasion of iraq in 2002. he was advising joe biden, when joe biden voted for the resolution of congress to support george w. bush's invasion of iraq. furthermore, blinken argues that the situation in syria is the result of a failure by the united states to adequately intervene. he blames the crisis in syria, not on u.s. intervention, but on a lack thereof. this is what he said about syria. we failed to prevent a horrific loss of life. we failed to prevent massive displacement of people internally in syria, and of course, externally is refugees. and it's something that i will take with me for the rest of my days when it comes to the situation in libya, he was actually critical of joe biden, and more in favor of u.s. intervention than joe biden was. he spoke critically of joe biden, who was his boss at the time saying that intervention in libya was,

was more needed and basically indicating that joe biden wasn't as supportive of interventionists. he was. furthermore, blinken has repeated the allegation that russia is paying bounties for the killing of u.s. troops in afghanistan. when president trumps tons of blood in the peace and on the world stage. and takes his word about rush's attacks in our elections over. that's right. intelligence agencies that exacerbates the problem when we have a president who's told that russia may be putting bounties on the heads of our troops in afghanistan and does nothing. in fact, worse than nothing, by his own acknowledgement, speaking to president putin at least 6 times after he got that report and not raising it, not confronting him, and even invites in president putin to washington and russia back into the g. 7. we have a real fundamental problem. it's important to know that u.s. intelligence has admitted on multiple occasions that there is actually no concrete evidence to back up that allegation about russia and bounties in afghanistan. that

didn't stop mr. bacon from repeating it. so many people look at mr. blanken and say this will be a return to more of the obama era u.s. foreign policy that mr. blinken is certainly not a noninterventionist. certainly not an isolationist. and certainly an advocate of u.s. military interventions around the world and efforts to overthrow governments that washington doesn't approve of the race for a working covert vaccine is heating up. no, the british swedish pharma judge has published interim test results for its job, which is being developed alongside oxford university. hawkins reports, however, the finding so far are underwhelming. astra zeneca are the latest company to join the front runners in the covert. 19 vaccine race announcing an efficacy of 70 percent after concluding their phase 3 trials. you know, these preliminary results may sound humble compared to other vaccines. the company's c.e.o.

is optimistic, same as you will be highly effective and will have an immediate impact with the u.k. having already preordered 100000000 jobs. boris johnson is more than happy with the result. incredibly exciting news. the oxford vaccine has proved so effective in trials. there are still further safety checks ahead, but these are fantastic results. well done to our brilliant scientists at the university of oxford and astra zeneca and all who volunteered in the trials. so why the relatively low efficacy of developers say that 70 percent figure is an average of 2 doses rose humans, too. high doses gave a result of 62 percent with a high dose following a low one raising efficacy to 90 percent. now this 70 percent average figure is therefore lower than trial results announced earlier by madonna at 95 percent also provides a 95 percent though that company to raise their efficacy from an initial 90 percent

result with a russian sputnik vivax seems standing at 92. now these figures are crucial, given the highly competitive nature of the market, and it's been a bumpy road for astra zeneca. today, as these results were published, the company's shares actually fell on the back of the lower than expected average efficacy, even as european stocks rose on the good news of another vaccine entering the market. now the vaccine trials had to be halted in september because of a serious suspected adverse reaction in a participant. and in october 1 of the volunteers in brazil died, causing uncertainty about its future. why the advance trial of a promising vaccine was suddenly passed? astra zeneca has caused its trials after an unexplained illness in a participant in the u. . as one company makes huge strides in the vaccine race and other drug giant hits the past button on its late stage trials volunteer and where the most at vance to corona virus vaccine trials in the world has died. and despite the news,

astra zeneca is testing continues. well, those adverse effects were investigated. though the company and the brazilian health authority refused to comment in detail on the case. the trial was deemed safe to continue, though in the united states, the delay lasted several weeks. and today's results don't include data from american trials, or despite the lower efficacy. the upside of this vaccine is cost effectiveness. while the estimated price of the pfizer vaccine is around $19.00, the modena job between $25.00 to $37.00, those prices go up to over $40.00. and as high as $74.00, respectively for the total treatment of the cost of the sport, mcvie vaccine is estimated at $26.00 per treatment. the final cost. so yet to be announced, the astra zeneca job would not only be easier to manufacture and store, but the cost for both doses could be as low as $8.00. but the race is now on to register these vaccines astra zeneca states that it would seek emergency use

listing from the world health organization with russia saying they've already begun the sputnik registration process. despite the good news, it's too early to say. we've seen the back of the pandemic, even with these promising trial results. dus is not the time for complacency. while we continue to receive encouraging news, both quoted 19 vaccines and remain cautiously optimistic about the potential for a new tools to start to arrive in the coming months. right now, we are extremely concerned by the surging cases we are seeing in some countries, particularly in europe and the americas. cold workers and the systems are being pushed to the breaking point. even with several vaccines hitting the market in coming months with the world in the grip of the 2nd covert, 19 wave, there is still a very long and difficult road ahead until we see a return to at least some semblance of normality. and just to add on to done us

point, the final cost of any vaccine will be a key factor in how widely it's ruled by creating fears that poor countries will be priced out. that's the skeleton, the latest edition of going underground on air today and online know, with the director of the international vaccine institute, the gates foundation. their research suggests that global cova debts will double of high income countries by up to the 1st 2000000 doses of any successful vaccine. do you agree with? that's a great study and we've been using it to advocate for something called kovacs. kodak's intends to purchase $2000000000.00 doses, and those doses will be provided to everyone and what cannot, is paper the gates foundation paper you quoted says, is that if the 1st 2000000 doses are taken without any consideration of equity, then there will be a doubling of go global covert deaths, hence the reason why go back needs to be successful, needs to be fully funded, needs to be funded beyond the 1st year into the 2nd year. i think the one thing

that kobe teaches us is that this virus, like all viruses, will find those weak points in our defense. and we really need and should be working together in this global pandemic to help each other. whether it's, you know, masks and gloves, whether it's a vaccine solution, whether it's, you know, reaching out to countries to help them understand what the burden of code is. and once we have the vaccine, it's taking that vaccine from wherever it's manufactured, to wherever it can be, wherever it's needed, in a way that will reduce the global burden of code. that is the most important thing or many around the world awaiting that coppa job. china has come up with a way to limit the spread of the virus. it's calling for a global fire wall in the form of a system of q.r. codes that would allow across border travel, tourism. china has proposed a global mechanism for the meat recognition of health that's of the kits based on

nucleic acid test results in the form of internationally accepted q.r. codes. we hope more countries will join this mechanism. china has been using q.r. codes, essentially digits, fill bar codes to prove health status since february to generate them. users have to install a smartphone up which stores medical data trucks, their movement. now, the system is being questioned in the west on data prevents the groans. europe though, has proposed similar schemes, including the idea of immunity passports in the u.k. . susskind taylor discussed the issue with a number of guests. these tests can be a lot of false negatives. a lot of false positives and you're now better track and trace where on going in terms of this town or that this is incredibly dangerous and it's not only for my safety and you're seeing in the united states as well as across the globe. the people are starting to rise up saying enough stop, protecting me. i wouldn't live my life the way i'd choose. we not only i was

reading heathrow airport, used to be one of the busiest. i've seen 82 percent fall and passengers. what's the way that to get wheels out into, if not a set, a similar system to this reason that travels collapse is not the pandemic because the lock downs. i mean, since march 12th, europe has not been able to fly to the u.s. and then europe retaliated and we can't fly there and now we're living under this agree just situation where yeah, we once believed in the right to travel, but that's been denied to us so many people have been locked in their nation states right now. the answer is 2 is liberalism is deliberate, travel and liberate and recognize human rights. again, do you think that we do need a cohesive global policy in order to try and move on somehow to try make 2021 better than 2020? there have been studies that show the virus respond differently in different regions. that there are different conditions and different places. on climate and

so forth. so you know, we don't want a lot of all standards because global standards means that global mark down a fact. this is just unbelievable. i really don't care about cases. i care about the death rate and the death rate is very slow. and again, we have to be very cautious with technology because once you turn the saw, it's very hard to turn off. they will never relinquish. i mean, passports are doing robot and were supposed to be temporary and there it was still stuck with them. ok, one of my favorite stories of the day in a texas man suffering from a rare muscle diseases come all the way to russia for treatment. alan spencer was told back at home in the u.s. he'd never walk again. but since arriving in the russian city of perm in october, he's been a part of quite incredible story and we shared it with us. i had to use this everywhere. i went when i was going to, when i was a new partner, chicken, what without it, i think no walk with alan spencer could have been dead by now or in

a wheelchair or bed bound. that's what doctors back home in america told him 5 years ago. i used to use this all the time. it was absolutely necessary. i'm going to go now into scary people walking in an incredibly allen has escaped all those outcomes. when i started to notice a little something with my hands, they were going to go on like this. and i said, well, that's not some sort of right, but i didn't have any problem with strength. so i didn't think i heard anything wrong. 2012 came, i had a fall and i was like, whoa, that was unusual. 2014 i came again and i had a really bad fall. it was like, ok, there's something wrong, something wrong happened to be a rare inflammatory muscle disorder known as inclusion, body myositis between $5.70 people per 1000000 have it. they said there's nothing we can do for it's completely untreatable. what do you feel when you read that? will i wasn't as disappointed, she would think my father had died of

a form of a.o.s. . and so i thought, well that's as a doctor said, good news and bad news. the good news is you're not going to die. the bad news is you're going to be trouble to spare for the vice president of time warner cable for west texas as successful man allen had to quit his job in 2017. he simply wasn't able to work any more that his ease was eaten away. his muscles stealing his abilities and his life. but then he heard from a friend about a clinic in perm russia that could potentially treat him at 1st. he didn't take it seriously. my friend andy had said in, in february there's going to be a wedding are about this clinic that i think by would be able to help you. are you interested? you know, it's kind of like, well not really. i didn't tell him that the way to be perfectly honest with you, you know, i don't, i think is an american you're, you probably have a stereotype of what the russian hospital looks like. if mayo says that nothing

could be done. probably nothing can be got sent to me mail gave my e-mail interest the next day i got a, an e-mail back from the director. the c.e.o. actually of the clinic in the government touches me all winter and said if you come, we think we can help you. we are not sure to what degree, but we do believe that we can actually help you a glimmer of hope was born. but coming to russia in the middle of the college, 19th and jamming with borders shot and planes grounded, it seemed like mission impossible. back in may one of the gals from marty called dandy and said, hey, how's your medical tourism? but building business doing, he said, well that started the process, it took 17 months to finally come to russia and it was worth every single day of trying. he says, so they started me on this treatment of injections and infusions. and the neurologist put this magnetic field on my here,

pulsing through. and what it does is it wakes up the neurons in the head. so they started to move in the wake of the muscles. my eye could actually swallow better, and i could talk a little easier if i would, you know, world, this is starting to actually work. what turned out was we were getting this world class held help in this clinic in perm russia. if we can get travel to open up, i really intend to work with dan de and others to get people here from america. it's a wonderful thing. i mean it's, it shouldn't be a secret. here you go. wow, good job. story still to come in the program, a holocaust museum in florida, sparks i'd rage with a new access and all knowing a person who has no links to the head and more besides to pick

one almost seems wrong. just don't hold any belief to shape out these days become active and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground where a member of the old peak, oil, or gold argument. we're running out of oil running out of all. that of course, is not true, but in the case of big claim, because it is absolutely scarce and because the demand is approaching infinity, we are potentially hitting peak bitcoin, where it will become increasingly impossible for the average mom and pop to acquire

bitcoin. because all the $900.00 coins per day that are generated through mining will be sucked up by the institutions that will never hit the market. it is 20 minutes into the program. welcome back. the new york times has been accused of rissa phobia, with its latest job on for a moscow correspondent. successful counterfeits are expected to deal with hit squads, cyber agents, and shadowy military figures. out the scription of russia might sound more like the plot of a spy, a movie, but as he explains fact, and fiction can often get mixed up. what you're about to hear. sounds like it's being ripped straight from the blog buster screenwriter's playbook. vladimir putin's russia remains one of the biggest stories in the world. it sends out hit squads on with nerve agents against its enemies. most recently,

the opposition leader alex, in a valley. it has its cyber asians chaos and disharmony in the west to tarnish its democratic systems while promoting its phone version of democracy. it is a ploy, private military contractors around the globe to secretly spread its influence at home. it's hospitals are filling up fast with coded patients as its present hides out in his villa. i mean, add some dramatic music. do a cool video, add it pepper the whole thing with a few explosions here and there. and you've cooked up a trailer for the next hit limited series on netflix, but no, it's not that not by a long shot. it's actually the opening over the job adverts for a russian reporter with the new york times. page searches for unbiased to impartial or balance. come a blank, no results found in the text. not that it's much of a secret though, that the new york times isn't that interested in covering

a happy russia. but some readers weren't that impressed with the sudden spasm of honesty from the paper did the see any right. new york times new russia crisp on in job at these job for a new york times correspondent in moscow is telling and not in a good way screenwriters wanted for a new james bond film. imagine yourself working undercover in moscow. the capital of law to meet putin's evil empire. if you think you have the creative writing skills to turn the monday into juicy narratives of horror and suspense,

contact the new york times, we've been in touch with the new york times for comment. you know, both sides of the story and all that, but we've yet to hear anything back from them. cynically speaking, it makes perfect sense. positive stories from russia don't tickle the fancy of pulitzer prize. judges allegations lacking evidence though, do just believe in the bogeyman. but we also spoke to peter prize winning journalist and former new york times foreign correspondent chris hedges, who say he's the expose is the real russia goal of the paper. i initially thought it was satire, i didn't think it was real. and then i went on the new york times website and read it. and it's really kind of an obituary journalist. the role of a foreign correspondent is to be bicultural. it is to get into that culture and explain how they view reality. and here you have this narrative, pre written, narrative, demonization,

really of russia and vladimir putin. and i have to say that there's nothing in that description that the united states doesn't do in spades and far worse. and so why even open a beer all in moscow? why have somebody spend hundreds of hours studying russian and reading russian history and literature on and culture? why not? why not have algorithms do it? it was absolutely appalling, but it's part of the siloing of the american press to serve a particular demographic. in the case of the new york times, it is a democratic party based readership. it's a way to make sure that whoever they send to russia feeds back to them what the, what they want a holocaust museum in florida sparked outrage with a new exhibition in honor of someone who had nothing to do with the chapter of history along side effects of bits of nazi war crimes that are moral center

presented images and quotes captured. in the aftermath of george floyd's death, the death of the black man in minneapolis back in may spark months of protests against police racism and brutality. in the u.s. and beyond, the museum said the george floyd exhibition is supposed to counter any identity based hate, but members of the jewish community. they find it hugely disrespectful. once someone faces an act of anti semitism, racism, or a new form of identity based hate, what they do results in death or not. there is an uprising of many emotions. we felt it was important to bring the human experience of the aftermath to our museum . we strongly question placing the george floyd exhibit in the holocaust museum, one wouldn't expect to see holocaust exhibit at a museum about the african-american experience. it is deeply offensive to appropriate our persecution to school cheap political points masquerading as

intersectionality or holocaust historian efrem 0 fears. the new exhibition reflects a dangerous trend of acquainting much lesser events in terms of horror and scale to the atrocities of the holocaust. the death of george floyd compared to the holocaust. i mean that's absurd, totally absurd and totally inappropriate today. especially in the western world, the major problem that we face. one of the major problems is of course, how, of course discussion. how it was distortion is not to deny that a tragedy of the scope of the holocaust took place. but to change the narrative of the holocaust in many cases to hide. 9 the involvement of people other than the german and austrian, nazis, and this attempt to universalize the holocaust is a very dangerous phenomenon as well. and this is a classic example. not every tragedy is the holocaust that every tragedy in

the holocaust should the holocaust be pitted to. 2. far less the tragedies. so he had to you see this is a battle over the accuracy of the narrative. and the perception of that are there is a large scale migrant protest. now developing in part a several 100 people have set up tents in the center of the french capital after they were evicted from on a legal company outskirts of the city. last week, their knowledge among emergency accommodation. there is a standoff with police who are trying to make them leave the area any at all. significant updates on the story will bring you throughout the day and a lot of stories. but do you stay close? more great programs get going and let's find out what is showing wherever you are today. right after the shortest breaks

president

i mash in atlanta and we're going on the ground 24 hours after voters headed to the ballot box in. but keano father's presidential election amid i.m.f. reviews of its economy that could see its country's future pegged to a biden presidency coming up in the show. as neoliberal nations look to a coronavirus vaccine to save their economies from potential collapse. we asked the director general of the international vaccine institute about the global efforts to vaccinate the entire world, including africa, where the corona virus has been far less deadly than in europe and will a global mental health crisis be the next pandemic. we'll ask c.e.o. of the center for mental health about a surge in mental health issues as a result of coronavirus and why it's just proportionally affecting the poor in society. all the more coming up in today's going underground a 1st it's been

a whole year as of the 1st identified case of corona virus was reportedly detected in whom a province in china. and for many months big pharmaceutical companies have been racing to find a vaccine. now, big pharma companies, as well as some politicians or from them, are arguably set to cash in big as the long awaited immunizations. start to roll out. joining me now via skype from seoul is one of the world's leading vaccine experts director general of the nonprofit international vaccine institute. dr. jerome kim. thanks so much room for coming on to tell me what is the international vaccine institute and why it is that nonprofit institutions like yours have failed to find the vaccine. and it's the big multinational, big pharma companies like pfizer that have been so successful companies, i should say, that have been the hit by scandal. well, so you know, the international actually missed to use an international organization kind of like to do a show. if $36.00 signatories not a single g 7 signatory, but our mission is to discover, develop and deliver safe, affordable and effective vaccines for global health. and actually.
