11:01 am

11:02 am
job starting as early as next week would be those who all most vulnerable and who work with the most vulnerable so of course medical professionals and teaches among other key because it would then be made available to the wider public and it's coming out very much over the next few days this is what you have to say. there's a. 1000000 of them in the us we have already produced $2000000.00 doses of the 1st registered vaccine against coronavirus speed v this will allow us to start widespread vaccination specifically among 2 risk groups doctors and teachers i would like to ask you to start vaccination at the end of next week. now this was announced in a video press conference with the deputy prime minister 30 on a go to cover who also made clear that this job would be voluntary that was to allay the fears of those who thought the job would be made compulsory it would be forced on everyone and anyone it will be voluntary and of course it will be free
11:03 am
for those that wish to. get themselves against covered 90 now there's been quite a lot of criticism around the sputnik the vaccine sense it's been registered for months now tell us more about that what it was primarily criticized for being rushed through without proper due diligence without proper testing of its safety and efficacy but it really has followed the follow the timeline of all of the coronavirus conduct maxine's across the world from major global international pharma companies pfizer for one which of course was approved by the u.k. regulator just over the last 24 hours and it's going to be rolled out over the coming days. as well it was published of course back in september in the long answer to one of stablish the not beautiful medical journal it was peer review and its efficacy was claimed to be 95 percent or even above 95 percent which is also comparable to other vaccine candidates across the world so it has been peer reviewed or has been looked at by the regulator and this is why it's now being made
11:04 am
available for mass rolled up as you're mentioning there are a few vaccines right now that are slowly coming out but the entire world is waiting for one of those jobs which countries have so far applied to use the russian made a vaccine will be the appearance of any covert action on the market is of course good news but what we have learnt over the last few weeks is that no one can. 3 no one company can provide enough vaccines to go round no one has the capacity to prepare hundreds of millions or even billions of vaccines and even if they could not all countries would be able to afford the sort of vaccine prices we've seen from pfizer. this sport make the vaccine is going to cost around $20.00 for for both those as for the total treatment that of course is more expensive than some competitors like a swedish astra zeneca but much less than others like pfizer and this is why it's attracted international attention just over the last week mr putin has been in
11:05 am
contact with these very prominent benjamin netanyahu to discuss shipments to israel other countries as well have signed contracts as well mexico to import 32000000 those whose of the vaccine india to buy 100000000 with the prospect of producing another 300000000 doses on indian soil other countries are also looking into clinical trials for this vaccine so there is very much international interest here but of course 1st and foremost the president has said it's the mess that until the domestic needs are not fully met the those whose would not be exported nevertheless now that mass roll out is happening over the next weeks and months i suppose the government's going to see what sort of demand there is and then base their export models off those the districts are the way this is of course good news for the for russia for the world which is in the middle of a 2nd wave would feel as of a 3rd wave already looking looking likely in the distance any mass roll out of a vaccine is of course good news in the fight against kona virus another
11:06 am
encouraging stab artie's down the hawkins thank you for bringing us that report now that announcement from russia came on the same day that britain gave the green light to another coronavirus a vaccine the health minister announced that the drug developed by pfizer and biotech will be rolled out next week. help is on its way the m.h.r. a has formally authorized the fires a biotech vaccine for coated 19 the n.h.s. stands ready to start vaccinating early next week the u.k. is the 1st country in the world to have a clinically approved vaccine for supply. the 1st 800000 doses of that vaccine are already on their way to the u.k. residents and staff at care homes for the elderly are being given a 1st priority followed by people over the age of 80 and health care workers we asked people in london whether they'd be willing to get the trap. i think that it's exciting because i think that i know a lot of people have put their lives on hold and businesses have been put on hold
11:07 am
because there is a vaccine personally i would not want to take it because i think things are happening too quickly my wife's a doctor and. she read the paper by the. project i just don't believe in i think there's still much going on there's so much that we don't know about and there hasn't been enough to has it been enough charles has been enough time to even find out if these vaccines are safe i don't think that they will be safe for people and i think this i think a high agenda behind the obviously sort of follow the news as it goes along everything like that i would be sort of very low on the list i would imagine. but i would have to look at it biologist and john says that one of the key obstacles facing the pfizer biotech drug will be the need to store it at all to cold temperatures to about historic moments in the sense that this will be that those are an n.t. based vaccine that is released generally they've been tested people or 100 spera mental basis but they've never been released on that scale well so not only does it drastic the dish in which is the most important thing right now but it does also
11:08 am
mark a watershed moment but this type of vaccine will certainly be a logistical challenge because the back scene requires ultra cold storage before it's actually used i don't think that's a stall of the road so i think in certainly in developed countries i think the provision of minus 18 reserves is not such a big deal but it certainly could be something that will effect the rollout more generally in other areas that work well which don't stop access to storage. police brutality is in the spotlight in france after the ruling party was forced to withdraw a bill severely restricting the filming of law enforcement officers the government has promised a total rewrite of the legislation which it had earlier claimed was vital to protect the force but critics say drastic change is needed to restore public trust charlotte devinsky has more. it's the burning issue in france right now how to
11:09 am
improve protection for the police while also safeguarding the public from police brutality. amid a wave of anger at the plans to criminalize the publication of images of the police if there was intent to harm the government has backed down the ruling party and that the much profiled article $24.00 would be entirely rewritten hours later the interior minister outlined his plans for reform so key a mike what is my deep conviction in what the government thinks is that we absolutely have to keep the protection of police forces during their police actions
11:10 am
so i repeat they are not protected enough addictions with more training more leaders and more police and the generalized use of police body cameras these would he said tackle the root cause of the problem meanwhile the french police chief admitted that there are some issues but he defended the owner of his offices the police the police are not violent and are not racist saying this i'm not in denial and i am not waffling i tell you what i see and what i hear every day i see the police officers or flexion of the good side of our society but for many woods are not enough accusations of police violence of tarnish the name of the force these were brought into sharp focus over the past week as. shocking examples emerged.
11:11 am
tried to call my lawyer and try to calm people in even a neighborhood my screams and he wanted to call the police but it was the police. then as protests turned over the weekend did emerge that one journalist was caught in the fray injured by a police baton as he attempted to cover the demonstrations. an award winning photographer was clearly identifiable as a journalist was shocked by the injuries suffered by a colleague how the condemned the unprovoked violence the injuries were sustained
11:12 am
as he exercised his legal rights as a photojournalist documenting protests on the streets of paris and now questions have been raised about the police role in the death of an 80 year old in mass a back during the yellow vests rallies. zainab was hit by tear gas canister in 20000 while in her apartment originally an expert report submitted as part of the investigation concluded that the officer that fired the grenade had done so properly and she'd been hit accidentally that's now being questioned following an independent investigation it claims the officer launched the corner to an angle and too close to her building and it was there for an illegal short a lawyer for the victim's family is so. that it was a deliberate act we believe that the police officer fired tear gas grenades because
11:13 am
he thought the misread of one who was on the phone using its loudspeaker was filming the police violence that took place outside her house rewriting also called 24 is unlikely to be the end of the story the recalls the entire global security bill to be scrapped passions are high not just to press freedom and the ability of citizens to film police officers but also the deep rooted problem of police violence issues that simply cannot be whitewashed so what do you can ski r.t. paris. iran's parliament has passed a bill to raise the stakes on nuclear development unless western countries sanctions it's urging the government to suspend un nuclear inspections and boost uranium enrichment above the levels agreed with international powers but the country's president hassan rouhani criticized the bill calling it bad for diplomacy
11:14 am
a final decision on the issue rests with iran's supreme national 6 security council a bill comes amid uproar in the country over the killing of iran's top nuclear scientists for which tehran is blaming israel. the israeli government is the primary suspect in the sense the nation and now serious evidence has been provided the situation is that from now on we will follow the same path and we will seek to create legal responsibility for its iran as has been said and it is our firm policy will respond to both the perpetrators and the commanders it will be proportionate independent and god willing with maximum pain for those who have done it. israel's government is still refusing to comment on the issue earlier we discussed the escalation and where it could lead with our guests. palliation is inevitable because the israeli regime has carried out an act of war it has carried out carried out an act of terrorism and there's no other way
11:15 am
to look at this so the iranians will have to punish the regime so that it does not have been sent to carry out such an atrocity again a school that doesn't have a soccer team doesn't hire a soccer coach and a regime that isn't seeking to carry out nuclear attacks doesn't hire nuclear weapons specialists and really you know if condemnation is going to go anywhere it must go to the to the iranian regime that celebrated this man that carried him around in government motorcade gave him a state funeral and i think it was done in order to provoke iran into response that could then be used as a pretext for a strike on iran trying to this was designed to get the iranians to to take some response with it which would then justify an attack on iran is what appeared to be the closing days of the trump administration issue is not nuclear weapons it is
11:16 am
a provocation the israeli regime is looking for a provocation to bring about war in this region because for them it is the it's not the interest of the united states or europe or of the region it is their own interest of the carnegie endowment is to for peace reckons that iran has sunk over $100000000000.00 into its nuclear capabilities and indeed for nuclear weapons now at the same time the arab gulf states institute reports that by the end of 2019 poverty in iran was at 33 percent you know when they say $100000000000.00 were spent and they just say words that don't have much meaning when they say he is saying i think they say it keep talking about how a regime in their people and standing on our nuclear weapon we're solving these people. people these people and you know they cannot tolerate other people speaking so they have to interrupt if you iraq which has that technological capability if
11:17 am
they wanted to produce a nuclear weapon they would have done so years ago the only regime that has nuclear weapons in this region with the support and help of the united states is the apartheid regime and palestine and i wait for the palestinians i wait for the palestinians the hatreds. i wait for the palestinians who are taught hatred in schools by iranian by iranian sponsored an apartheid regime weeps for the. people for the palestinian people who are subjugated by such. an evil regime an apartheid regime that believes in hierarchy you show it you should for the palestinians or subjugating gaza and who are treated as as subhumans is despicable year of the year no different than apartheid south africa you know the saying your supremacy the reality is iran isn't looking to join the nuclear club it's looking to join the nuclear genocide club until the west continues the
11:18 am
pressure to prevent the regime developing that kind of weaponry the middle east will continue to be unstable until we see more normalization more isolation of the lap iran and indeed a better future for the rest of the people as well and i think we also need to keep in mind that if there even if there was not a state actor behind this that this could not have happened without somebody being involved with some will call cooperating actors and then you ask the question why would they on their own accord or go after a nuclear scientist residence from other target within the iranian government so i think if there was outside actors a state actor behind this where there was the israelis or somebody else we need to consider how profoundly dangerous this is do we really want to strike him not being diplomacy by assassination. one of india's biggest strikes in history has seen 250000000 people come out against a new farming law that they warn will devastate their livelihoods and the capital
11:19 am

11:20 am
seen the same old misinformation against these historic agree culture reform which is coming from the same people who have constantly misled the farmers for decades we're working with pure intentions and without any purpose of betraying anyone. the new delhi based journalist and political commentator says the moves have been badly planned. through the laws. the government has brought a. bottle of them is going to replace the men with more bob through corporate head to do things they'll be great to rule for. deciding everything to do with. your produce and then that all believes you are reading forcing the mafia the private good is.
