by the market the transfer of power gathers pace in america. president joe biden revealed on the transition the dangers of clearing up our operation in the disputed right next to the city, full of people who have been scarred by the war people

for the future. the last thing they need is more explosions. continue to build cleared from the french. the developers of it is 95 percent effective. $20.00 to the world. this is your art. my name's you know,, neal and you're welcome to the news our we begin in the u.s., where changes on pennsylvanian of a new are picking up pace president elect. joe biden has announced his top cabinet

picks for the white house. he said near enough the whole world has their hopes 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 the atlantic all across the world. together these public servants will restore america globally scribble leadership and its moral leadership without engaging in needless military conflicts and our adversaries in check and terrorist at bay. meanwhile, donald trump has told his team to cooperate with the transition to a joe biden presidency. however, mr. trump montagne, as his fight is not over now and will continue to pursue legal challenges regarding

the results of the election. taking a look at how the next white house team could ship up, here's a patrol. america's foreign policy needs to be properly fixed after 4 years of diplomatic rock 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 the u. turn to go full circle. there's been some damage done. that is going to take some time to dig ourselves out of. 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, made 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. 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, the power, to give them the advisor. 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 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 blood 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 give 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, 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 that to pursue now for the foreign policy and national security team. ok, at least there are no surprises, and the world knows what to expect. well, i spoke to former u.s.

diplomat jim jefferies, who believes joe biden will return to a more aggressive foreign policy strategy. i think that what he will do is get rid of any any, any of the small steps that trump had taken to bring american policy back home to the interest of the united states. and he will return to the kind of policies we saw under george w. bush in barack obama. and i think those can be summed up in one word and that is aggression, that we will, we read. we will redouble our efforts at aggression against syria. that there will be no more talk about pulling out of syria or iraq or afghanistan. i think our policies toward russia will become even more hostile than they are now. which is very hard to believe because they have been, or those that relationship has been totally ruined. but i do, i think, will get even far worse through another headline stories today. russian peacekeepers have start of a de mining operation in the disputed new corner cutback region. an expose of

devices left behind from the recent conflicts still pose a threat to the local population. and recently killed every soldier while leaving a russian supper. wouldn't it? or senior correspondent, rough guess, day of 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, cluster bombs, don't get buses. we're ready for anything, especially air drop bombs and cluster munitions. rounds are dropped 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. 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 explosions. any minute, no munition found is 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, or volatile munitions that must be destroyed on the spot. in this area, we identified 2 r.p.g. rockets into 125 millimeter tank rounds. it's true and dangerous work, but helping out a man's and sappers 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 can. the war may be over, but every other day we hear of another incident. another casualty, a mine going off or an old grenade, exploding the peacekeepers. mission is to establish peace and bring back calm,

which you can't do. if people are terrified of the very ground they walk on more of our see from the garden and the french president has announced that the country will start easing its lockdown and this weekend in a televised address. money will, mark roland, said everything possible will be done to prevent a so named 3rd wave. the sunni, you know, the peak of the 2nd wave has passed. we feared much worse figures, but we avoided them. well this week a french businesses will start to reopen, following a strict solitary protocol. however, locked on is going to remain in place according to the french leader. it will be lifted only on the 15th of december. and that's only a daily infections drop to $5.00 and cinema theaters will reopen then. however,

bars, restaurants and cafes will remain closed throughout the christmas period. only reopening as part of the 3rd phase from january 20th. when schools and universities will resume in person teaching was staying in front of us, a rally for a 2nd day in paris following last week's clearance of the sun to knead migrant camp . on monday riot police moved in with tear gas to break up. the demonstrators have been building since last tuesday when authorities tried to remove some 2000 migrants at the temporary camp a little according to human rights groups, around 800, remain without any shelter. meanwhile, speaking of on rest in france, the government has passed the 1st stage of a controversial new law triggering widespread protests. critics of the global security bill see it undermines media freedom, but the state insists it's needed to protect police officers. the law still needs to pass through the opera house, the senate. so what those,

the ruling actually entailed are tea. charlotte dubinsky takes us through it. 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 against that, and not speak, cause journalists unions, and n.g.o.s say that this law, which contains a specific article, octal 24, 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 images of what unfolded. what parts 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 to 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 a police officer at those images shocked. many people here fronts, including the interior minister, who has until their side in time, in 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 that? 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, 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 a time when they face unprecedented violence in doing their job. and police union 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 low 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 threw filming, or something else encroaches on the honor of an officer, the measures are already spelled out in the criminal codes. 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, to lower on commercial secrets, the lower on 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. this is our national still ahead, a shot in the arm for the fight against the coronavirus, the makers of russia's new vaccine, say it's not just the effect,

but also break the details coming your way in just financial survival. when customers go by your well reducing lower that's undercutting not what's good for market. it's not good for the global economy seemed wrong, but i just don't get to shape out these days and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds

apart, we choose to look for common ground with a post-mortem. how did you major political parties change to this election cycle? joe biden maintained an already be condemned by the democratic coalition. is there such a thing as trump is or did he change the g.o.p. or did the g.o.p. change 95 percent effective? that is the assessment of the developers of the russian vaccine. sputnik, the, the figure is based on the latest clinical data which shows the drugs efficacy increases with time, no artie's rif. and i told my colleague under former, more just earlier 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 receive 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 also recently announced that their drug is almost 95 percent efficient, but the gemmell, their research center, the company behind sputnik, we say they are, a vaccine is unique in there. and maybe 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 or method is more than 90 percent effective. as demonstrated by sputnik, we were open to sharing our human adenovirus with other companies the developers of

sputnik me say that the recent results are based on the analysis of the data on 19000 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 to me 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 $39.00 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 obvious, but 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

a 1000000000 injections next year. we also see a very good deed to crossfire's and my journey 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. and we hear that sales may start already. 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 cut corners. developers weren't transparent sufficiently about their research is the been sort of any response to that criticism. but you have to understand that these 3 of the clinical trials of sputnik me is still on to go. and according to the rules, it is a big boon to make any data public at this point. but the good malaria search center says that they are ready to provide trial reports and all information,

all data and publish it in one of the leading medical journals. as soon as face 3 is over, just last lemuria, i know you were part of the trials, weren't you? how are they going to 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 point size was what the research center says. so i'm very happy with that, to be honest. so the results are promising and the world's waiting and leading to the next issue, how to get sputnik and other vaccines are to those most in need. we spoke to for all of professor ian jones about that this is the fullest set of data and 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, 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 easily will be able to roll out these vaccines. the most important thing is to identify the vulnerable groups, the aged, 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 vaccine out to people, which will take up to about 2 months. so it's going to be staggered, and so going forward, i think, the social distancing and the mask wearing a probably going to be a factor for the next 6 months. but they should then be simply not needed as the immunity levels increase. united nations agency is warning the focus when it comes to fighting. the pandemic has been on the role section of

society. unicef is stressing that more needs to be done to protect the children face a trifecta of threats, direct consequences of the disease itself. interruption in essential services and increasing poverty and inequality. unless the global community urgently changes priorities. the potential of this generation of young people may well be lost. unicef, which is the u.n. agency for children's rights, outlined some of the worst aspects in its report based on data from 140 countries, among them, a 15 percent rise in the number of young living in poverty worldwide. another alarming estimated ses, the fallout could claim another $2000000.00 lives of infants under 5 in just the next 12 months. and the heavy toll on education is highlighted with more than one and a half. 1000000000 school children affected a senior. unicef official told the program that amidst the scramble to cope with the virus, the youngest members of society cannot be forgotten. i think the immediate response,

of course, is what will and i make most hearing. i don't have your way, she said the elderly with interactive fax was the appropriate response message from unicef. is that as countries are preparing their response plans to the pandemic and making sure that they pay attention to those hardest infection itself, that they don't lose sight of making sure that essential services that children and mothers depend upon. and they're not severely disrupted because that's what's really leading to these higher numbers of deaths and also to bear in mind that a lot of the economic consequences that will cause a increase in poverty, which disproportionately affects children. coronavirus skeptics in germany have sparked outrage by comparing themselves to resistance fighters against the nazis some have even like in their fight to that of what persecuted jews went through our

europe. correspondent, peter, all of our reports. 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 class, and i feel like sophie 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 in 1943 at the age of just 21, 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 assaulting the 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 in an acceptable obliviousness to history. the comparisons are unacceptable. on the one hand, you have people who can express themselves freely at process. and on the other, those who resisted a state of terror, well, facing deprivation and murder. a healthy 22 year old compares herself to sophie schol, probably because she's not allowed to go to bars. grotesque, self pity. anyone who 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 place 2 cases, the listening, the memory of victims of nazi isn't going to win. germany's covert skeptics any credibility and 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 they call the politics of victimization. victimhood people are trying to, to mark similar experiences. no, of course, we're dealing with a pandemic of historical proportions. we're dealing with one more than 1000000.

people die because of it. we dealing with society. but instead of complaining, we have to do our best, decided to do everything, to get the vaccine, expect seeds, business, and social life back again. this is if you'd like to dig a little deeper into any of those stories this hour, please remember to give our t. social network some of your scrolling time today. if you're so inclined. why not leave a comment or 2 as well? see so.
