2:00 pm
join me every time, i'm sure i'm sure. i'll see you. headline stories today ticking on the developers of vaccine, say, effective $20.00 also ahead the dangers of clearing up a de mining operation in the dead. we have right next to the pool of people who have been scarred by the war, people fearful for the future. the last thing they need is more
2:01 pm
explosions in the u.s. . he wants to see next. if he figures to cooperate on the transition of power, it is just after 10 pm and in here in moscow this tuesday, november 24th. i mean this is international. 95 percent effective. that is their assessment of the developers of the russian covert vaccine, . sputnik v. the figure is based on the latest clinical data which shows the drugs, africa see increases with time or tease me a flush in the, till my colleague andrew farmer more just
2:02 pm
a little or small degree is currently in phase 3 of his clinical trials. and is going to last for at least 4 more months, but we already received early interim results and they are quite impressive. the 2nd interim analysis of clinical trial data showed a 91.4 percent efficacy for the sputnik the vaccine on day $28.00 after the 1st dose vaccine efficacy is over 95 percent. 42 days after the 1st dose, the us based foreign giants, pfizer and there are now also recently announced that their drug is almost 95 percent efficient, but they get all their research center, their company behind sputnik, we say they are. a vaccine is unique. we are using 2 forms of the virus administered via 2 different injections the data from us to resent it to has confirmed that this is more effective than using just one form of the virus. our method is more than 90 percent effective, as demonstrated by sputnik be. we're open to sharing our human done
2:03 pm
a virus with out companies. the developers of sputnik lee say that the recent results are based on the analysis of the data on $19000.00 volunteers who took part in the trials and who received already both 1st and 2nd doses of the drug. well, it seems that so far sputnik the is the cheapest coronavirus vaccine on the potential market with the price of less than $20.00. of course we're talking about both needed doses that is versus 39 dollars. price tag for pfizer and $74.00 for my that in the vaccine. experts say that u.k. sweden astra zeneca, could be cheaper than any of these 3 vaccines. but they didn't officially announce their price yet. well, the competition is all this, that russia says, the more vaccines, the better. it is important for the world to have their respects. and sputnik we can be part of the countries faction package. at the moment, we can only produce enough vaccines for 500000000 people, which means
2:04 pm
a 1000000000 injections next year. we also see very good data from fires and maduna vaccines have been found over 90 percent effective, and we have no reasons to doubt those figures. several countries already announced that they want to buy russia sputnik weaker and a virus vaccine hand. we hear that sales may start already in january. but you have to understand that the price i mentioned only works for foreign customers for foreign buyers, for russians. and for russia, sputnik, we will be free. it was good news so far, but it hasn't stopped people certainly early on criticizing the claims were the cut corners developers weren't transparent sufficiently about the research is the been sort of any response to that criticism, but you have to understand that phase 3 of the clinical trials of scrutiny is still on to go and according to the rules, it is forbidden to make any data public at this point. but the gemmell, a research center says that they are ready to provide full trial reports and all
2:05 pm
all information, all data and publish it in one of the leading medical journals. as soon as face 3 is over, just lastly mariano, you were part of the trials were new. how are they going? i mean, just run through the job she received and what sort of reaction you had. the most important thing of course, is that i have antibodies, djimi, my immune system responded, and i also know that they are growing because i got to blood tests already in the last 40 days. and that coincides with what a research center says. so i'm very happy with that. to be honest. yes. so clearly the results are promising and the world is waiting, leading to the next issue, how to get sputnik 3 other vaccines are to those most in need. we spoke to professor in child. this is the fullest sense of it confirms a very high level of protection trial data. and the excellent levels of protection that are being observed is the most important. however,
2:06 pm
the practicalities of then how you distribute it is and who is going to pay for it . then kick in and so both the price and the storage conditions are a factor in how he's the will be able to roll out these maxime's. the most important thing is to identify the vulnerable groups, the and those with underlying health conditions and ensure that they get the vaccine in the 1st wave as, as the vaccines are released. after that, there should be a discussion of the general rollout, but it will take time. that's the critical factor, the logistics of getting the facts seen out to people which will take up to about 2 months. so it's going to be staggered. so going forward, i think, the social distancing and the mask wearing a probably going to be effective for the next 6 months. but they should then be simply not needed as the community levels increase. another story, we're keeping a close eye on today. russian peacekeepers have started
2:07 pm
a demining up or nation in the disputed nagorno-karabakh region. this moves have devices left behind from the recent conflict. they still pose a threat to the local population on the fact recently killed on a surgery soldier while leaving a russian supper wounded. our senior correspondent reports on the clearance operation. the sheer intensity of this war, the sheer quantity of me sells ammunition bombs used, are astounding. the sad truth is that it will take years to find it, make safe. every unexploded munition footage visited by john, raining cluster bombs and cities and towns and never got in a car. buck sparked outrage, but adds, rage dissipates, and evaporates,
2:08 pm
cluster bombs, don't with us. we are ready for anything, especially air drop bombs and cluster munitions. often rounds of drops too low or don't have enough rotation speed. and they wind up unexploded in people's gardens or kids playgrounds, or they could be at previous military outposts. the soldiers may have left, but the munitions remained with russian engineers and sappers. part of the peacekeeper contingent have been tasked with the mining operations other than daily patrols and roads in iraq outposts. they also assist local sappers. there's plenty of work for both. what complicates matters even further is that we aren't out in the middle of nowhere and you can't very well blew every unexploded shell up. we have right next to the city of state by the get full of returning refugees. people who have been scarred by the war, people still in shock and fearful for the future. the last thing they need is more
2:09 pm
explosions. any minute, no munition found categorized. category 3 is the least dangerous. these shells or rockets are generally and fired and can be transported for disposal. category one of the worst booby traps cluster bomblets, all volatile munitions that must be destroyed on the spot. now though, in this area we identified 2 r.p.g. rockets into $125.00 millimeter tank rounds. it's new and dangerous work, but helping out a man's and zappa's best friend, the mining dogs. her name is jacqueline. she's a belgian shepherd. she took part in the fee for world championship in 2018. she has been through a lot of training and we've been together for 3 years. you use whatever you caton the war may be over, but every other day we hear of another incident. another casualty,
2:10 pm
a mine going off or an old grenade exploding. the peacekeepers mission is to establish peace and bring back calm, which you can't to do if people are terrified of the very ground they walk on more, i guess. do you have from the garden turning focus to the united states now and changes afoot on pennsylvania avenue and president elect. joe biden is busy getting into that role and has announced his top cabinet picks for the white house. he said near enough the whole world has their hopes are resting on his team to restore america, to its historical role in calls from world leaders. and i've had about 18 to 20 so far. i'm not sure the exact number in the weeks since we won the election. i've been struck by how much they're looking forward to the united states . reassert its historic role as a global leader, both in the pacific as well as in the land and all. 'd across the world,
2:11 pm
together these public servants will restore america globally squabble leadership and its moral leadership without engaging in needless military conflicts and our adversaries. in check in terrorist at bay, you know, all donald trump has told his team to cooperate with the transition to a joe biden presidency. the process was formally triggered by the general services administration. that is the agency that keeps the u.s. federal government functioning day to day. however, mr. trump maintains his fight is not over. the will continue to pursue legal challenges regarding the results of the election. taking a look at how the next white house team could chip up. here's the trend. go. america's foreign policy needs to be properly fixed after 4 years of diplomatic crack says one who says the man whose own white house mistakes as donald trump saw them, were thorley taken care of by the outgoing administration. the time has come for
2:12 pm
the u. turn to go full circle. there's been some damage done. that is going to take some time to dig ourselves out. but there's no doubt that joe's got the right people to do it. the man taking over the oval office in 2021 was president obama's number 2. so who are the best people to set these apparent wrongs? right. well, the former deputies of obama's team, of course, how easy, i'm really starting to get that joke that barack scott himself a 3rd term. let's take a look at the collective portrait of a deputy dream team. one squad member clearly thinks it was the meddling russians who god, donald trump, elected in the 1st place. jake sullivan biden speak for national security advisor. this was a moment where we realized that the russians had decided that they were going to actively interfere in the u.s. election. that they were going to intensively work to undermine the pillars of u.s.
2:13 pm
democracy. and that they were going to try to defeat hillary clinton. if it wasn't for the russians, if you know what i mean, this career boost would have come much earlier. after all, mr. sullivan served as an advisor for the hillary clinton campaign. and yes, he worked as a national security advisor to the vice president biden. and here we're looking at someone who was all for upping u.s. involvement in syria. tony blinken, the new man taking care of america's foreign relations in syria. it's tougher, it's longer. it's going to take time to build up the syrian opposition, but we believe it can be done. our commitment is to help them to support them, to give them the training, to give them the equipment to give them the air power to give them the advisers. and it all comes back to hillary, who, infamously said this about libya. we came, we saw he died, right. as you may have guessed, mr. blinken was among the star democrat diplomats who love the idea of getting
2:14 pm
libya sorted through intervention. his c.v. highlights include deputy secretary of state deputy national security advisor and national security advisor to the vice president. so moving on with deputy dream team, you simply don't deserve the position of intelligence director under joe biden. if you haven't been deputy to a big name, let's say in the cia under obama, without further ado. here's avril haynes, the former deputy cia director also happened to serve as the deputy national security advisor right after tony blinken. some gives ms. hanes credit for making america's drone wars more transparent. her critics though, paint her with a different brush focusing on her role as the architect of the drone program. one which is associated with scores of civilian deaths. a slight stain on the record,
2:15 pm
isn't it? any great team deserves at least a few qualified veterans. this one is no exception. take john kerry, he's getting his comeback. chance to the job of special presidential envoy for climate goes to the former secretary of state. bear with me for a bit of feedback on the team from someone familiar. the incoming administration could not have chosen data personell for the foreign policy and national security teams. ok, at least there are no surprises, and the world knows what to expect. this is r t international still on the way from the spouse is the 1st stage of a bill aimed at protecting police officers. but critics say it directly effects media freedoms. we look at the device of law for the break
2:16 pm
seemed wrong. wrong. just don't hold me to believe you have 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 arguments that we are running out of oil and running out of gold. that of course, is not true, but in the case of big claim, because it is absolutely scarce then 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
2:17 pm
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 again, from the 1st stage of a controversial new law that's triggered widespread unrest in the country. while critics of the so-called global securities bill see it undermines media freedom, the government insists it is needed to protect polish officers. the law still needs to pass through the opera house of the senate, but the vote set for january. so what does the ruling actually entail can take us through well, there is a protest taking place behind me outside the national assembly here in paris, where those deputies are vote on this global securities law. a law that's been very controversial. we've seen protests across the country over the last week or so
2:18 pm
against that, and not speak, cause journalists unions, and n.g.o.s say that this law, which contains a specific article oct 24th, will criminalize publication of images of police offices where you can see their faces. if there is an intent to harm and that would be punishable by one year in jail or the $45000.00 euro fine. now those groups say that this essentially gives the green light to stop journalists from doing their jobs because they won't be able to potentially film police because they could find themselves in the criminal courts. for doing that shocking images emerged from monday evening where it was showing the police using brute force force to clear a migrant camp in the center of the city. does have a look at some of those in the images of what unfolded.
2:19 pm
well part of the job of journalists is to document what the security forces are doing and whether there are any abuses of power of bolli them. it was one journalist who was forced to the ground by police offices of the images and videos circulating on social media and showed the police not just using that tear gas, but actually when they would trying to move those tents in one scene, they pick up a tent and they essentially eject a migrant out of it. and in another video that we show, you know, social media as in my, constrained to leave the scene where he is forcibly tricked by
2:20 pm
a police officer at those images shocked. many people here fronts, including the interior minister, who has until now cited time and time with the police. such an image is showing the dispersal of the illegal migrant camp on republic square. a shocking, i have requested a detail report of the facts from the police by midday tomorrow, i will make a decision after that. there is an investigation that's been opened into what happened on monday evening with doesn't say even the interior minister saying he was shocked by those images. but many people might say, if it wasn't for the journalists there, covering that if it wasn't for the citizens taking those images on their phones, if they were not allowed to do that, then how would proper investigations be able to be carried out. how could you hold the police accountable when they use force that is beyond that of the remit of their jobs? now that even the un has also criticized this law,
2:21 pm
essentially saying the news media must be free to do their jobs. the government says this move is necessary because it's important to protect the police, protect the police at the time when they face unprecedented violence in doing their job. and police unions say that this law doesn't go far enough. they say that by the time this image is approved cost and somebody is a arrested taken to account for doing that. then you know, those images could have been shared thousands and thousands of times more. so they're actually cooling for the load to be strengthened even further. the question is censoring journalists, even self-censorship is now journalists are constantly being pressured already and they have a difficult job. we're not saying that police officers have an easy profession. but if someone through filming or something else encroaches on the honor of an officer,
2:22 pm
the measures are already spelled out in the criminal. why add something else to it? we see this is an attempt to put additional censorship on journalists. this profession has been under pressure for more than one year through various laws, commercial secrets, the lure of fake news, and also summoning journalists to find out their sources. this is all well known and we try to convey to the minister that it's time to pay attention to france's image abroad. let's bring you live right to par us to have a look at what is happening there with the protests making their way to the central republic square in the city center. as you can see, a sizable police presence there. a lot of these protesters, of course, chanting and speaking about the new security, but also a number of activists have been at the last number of days in the area,
2:23 pm
continuing to rally following last week's evacuation of the sun dany migrant camp. no one choose the past, the police operation, this large, some 2000 refugees, 800 men without shelter, that's according to human rights groups. a lot of reaction to that as well. the country's interior minister tweeted that some of the scenes were quote shocking, and ordered the police to provide a full report on their actions. so we're just coming up to 25 minutes past 8 in the prison city center. as you can see, a big presence, a lot of vehicles and police out in full riot gear as night descends, we'll be keeping a very close eye on the felons there throughout the let's bring you from france to germany where cruel of virus skeptics in the country have sparked outrage by comparing themselves to resistance fighters against the nazis some have even like in their fight to run for persecuted jews. went through our
2:24 pm
teens. peter, all of a report. while germany's lock down, light continues, and the government looks to get vaccinations rolled out in the coming weeks. corona conspiracy theorists and those on the happy with the measures that have been taken of continue to rally this weekend. the demonstrations took a dark turn with one of those opposed to how angle of merkel is handling the pandemic. comparing herself to a prominent member of the german resistance to the nazi regime. and that prompted a security guard. you had to be there to walk off in disgust when you know now i'm ganna from costs, and i feel like selfish surely because for months i have been active in the resistance here, given speeches, going to damn us, handing out flyers. sophie shore was a member of the white rose resistance movement. she encouraged to confront hitler's dictatorship and in 1943 at the age of just 21,
2:25 pm
she was murdered by the nazis. this isn't the only time that germany's corona deniers have tried to draw comparisons between themselves and the victims of the 3rd reich. an 11 year old in culture alike, and a celtic frank of the secretly holding a birthday party. despite it being against corona restrictions, both cases of drawn condemnation from the public and politicians alike. anyone who compares themselves to soften or, and frank today is mocking the courage it took to take a stand against nazis. this plays down the holocaust and shows an unacceptable obliviousness to history. the comparisons are unacceptable. on the one hand, you have people who can express themselves freely in the process. and on the other, those who resisted a state of terror, well, facing depredation, murder, a healthy 22 year old compares herself to sophie schol, probably because she's not allowed to go to bars. grotesque,
2:26 pm
self pity. anyone who's seen people on ventilators die of pneumonia, cannot take such nonsense, serious as people grow tired of lockdowns and restrictions, the protests seem to continue no matter what. i place 2 cases, the listening, the memory of victims of nazi isn't going to win. germany's covert skeptics any credibility, and for those who are on happy with the fact that these measures are going to lead to them either losing all, having already lost their livelihoods. just proofs and on want to destruction, is what i call the politics of victimization. of victimhood, people are trying to do to maximize that experience is not for farms. of course,
2:27 pm
we're dealing with a pandemic of historical proportions beginning with one more than 1000000. people die because of it we dealing with society's future. but instead of complaining, we have to do our best to leave, decided to do everything to get the vaccine, expect scenes, and business and social life back again out as meanwhile, the u.k.'s prime minister has promised that england will not be in lockdown over the christmas holidays. meaning families will be able to spend time to gather them, but doris johnston's announcement has this made. they say it is unfair that minorities have their religious holidays curtailed earlier in the pandemic. when national restrictionist in england, well maybe on the 2nd of december, and it will not be read this far. it's obvious. you don't get to go on to a christmas tree. it doesn't, maybe it's christmas. i misspeak i families will need to make
2:28 pm
a chapel judgment about the risk of obesity, elderly residents, jewish people missed the 2, holiest holidays of the year. muslims were overlooked on the ied. duvalle was a riot of and yet somehow the whole country is now supposed to make a 2nd fires to save christmas. muslims in manchester had to drop their ied plants at 9 30 pm. the night before celebrations began. they couldn't be with their families. jewish people couldn't celebrate russia's seana the way they wanted to. nor hindus and sikhs do. wally, why should christmas be different for us? well, oxford professor of medicine writing in the lancet medical journal went so far as the call, the government's locked on policy, institutionally racist 1000000 hindus live in the u.k. as do over $3000000.00 muslims. the u.k. health secretary has responded to the allegations of at the store shown in favor of christmas stressing that the holiday has a national importance on large cultural and historical significance. now we spoke,
2:29 pm
to writer and journalist, nor paul dully, while in an op ed for r.t., he argued that christmas celebrations could have a dire impact on covert cases. christmas is much more of a health hazard for the country and celebrate. and those of the smaller purse there was were because 90 percent of the country should celebrate. that's what makes it more dangerous to live restrictions who are because 90 percent of the country are going to go out there and start mixing. the messages the government gives are not clear and they're very confusing. and this to compute just gives the public wishing to just behave as they please. and i think this is a government that's managed pandemic very, very badly. and i think it keeps to keep stunts throughout the main whether it was giving discounts for people to go to restaurants or entering the summer. this government keeps saying big things just to distract the public from a very incompetent and very confused joke that it's doing. this is another stunt by
2:30 pm
this government to, to, to kill the public, the false impression that this some kind of plan for this. there never has been, and there still is a much more great programs kept going in moments here and 247 r.t.m. . and i'm back with your updates and exactly 30 you hope you'll join me again and i for one greetings and sal you take more than 11000000 and affected and close to 2.
