a lot of criticism around the sputnik the vaccine sense it's been registered for months now tell us more about that well 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 other coronavirus candidate writings 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 lancet a well established and up util medical journal it was peer reviewed 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 and has been looked at by the regulator and this is why it's now. being made available for mass rolled up the entire world is waiting for one of those jobs
1:04 pm
that which countries have so far applied to use the russian made a vaccine will the appearance of any covert action on the market is of course good news but what we have learned over the last few weeks is that no one country no one company can provide enough vaccines to go around 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 good bet that is like a swedish astra zeneca but much less than others like pfizer and this is why it's attractive international attention nevertheless now that mass rollout 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 that is the sort of the way this is of course good news for for the for russia for the world which is in
1:05 pm
the middle of a 2nd wave would fear of a 3rd wave already looking looking likely in the distance any mass rollout of a vaccine is of course good news in the fight against coronavirus well that announcement from russia came on the same day that britain gave the green light twin of the corona virus vaccine the health minister announced that the drug developed by pfizer and biotech will be rolled out next week. hope is on its way. all through as 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 well the 1st 800000 doses of vaccine are already on their way to the u.k. residents and staff can homes for the elderly are being given 1st priority followed by people over the age of 18 and health care workers we asked people in london whether they'd be willing to take the job i think that it's exciting because i
1:06 pm
think that i know a lot of people are have put their lives on hold and this is a been put on hold 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 about the. budget i just don't believe and i think this study 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 research find out if these vaccines are safe i don't really think that will be safe for people and i think this i think a high agenda behind obviously sort of follow the news as it goes along and everything like that i would be sort of very low on the list i would imagine. but i would absolutely get it vibro just in jones says that one of the key obstacles facing this pfizer biotech drug will be the need to store it at ultra cold temperatures. it's possible historic moments in the sense that this will be the 1st aren't any based vaccine that is released generally they've been tested before hundreds or mental basis but they've never been released on that scale or so not
1:07 pm
only does it address the issue which is the most important thing right now but it does also mark a watershed moment for this type of vaccine certainly be a logistical challenge because the back scene requires ultra cold storage the floor it's actually used i don't think that's a stock of the robots i think in certainly in developed countries i think the provision that minus 8 reasons is not such a big deal but it certainly could be something that will effect the rollout more generally in other areas of the work world which don't have access to boat storage . plus the channel police brutality is in the spotlight and from so off to the warning party was forced to withdraw a bill so a very restricting the filming of who are false what offices of the government as promised a total rewrite of the legislation which it had earlier claimed was a quite old to protect the force but critics say drastic changes needed to restore

1:09 pm
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 so i repeat they are not protected in athletic fields with more training more leaders and more police and the general 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'm 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
1:10 pm

illegal shot a lawyer for the victim's family is so. that it was a deliberate act we believe the police officer fired tear gas grenade because he misread a 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 record speed toy global security bill to be scrapped passions are high not just over press freedom and the ability of citizens to film police officers but also of the deep rooted problem of police violence issues that simply cannot be whitewashed short didn't ski r.t. paris. iran's parliament has passed a bill to raise the stakes on nuclear development unless western countries ease sanctions now it's arching the government to suspend un nuclear inspections and to
1:13 pm
boost uranium enrichment above the levels agreed with international powers but the country's president hassan rowhani criticized the bill calling it bad for diplomacy now final decision on the issue rests with iran's supreme national security council the bill passed amid uproar in the country over the killing of iran's top nuclear scientist and to iran is blaming as well. these really governments is the primary suspect in the sense nation and they are 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 it 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 so. well for its part israel's government is still refusing to comment on the issue generally earlier we discussed the escalation and of course where it could lead with august's. palliation is inevitable because the israeli regime has
1:14 pm
carried out an act of war it has carried out carried out an act of terrorism and there's no other way 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
1:15 pm
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 a provocation that 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 in the carnegie endowment is to for peace reckons that iran has sunk over $100000000000.00 into its search for 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 can there be burned standing on our nuclear weapon here solve these p.p.p.
1:16 pm
. 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 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 and an apartheid regime that believes in hierarchy you show it you should for the palestinians or subjugating gaza and who are treated as such as subhumans it's despicable year you're no different than apartheid south africa you know the saying
1:17 pm
your supremacy the reality is iran isn't looking to join the nuclear club it's looking to join the nuclear genocide club and until the west continues the 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 a lot 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 cooperative actors and then you ask the question why would they on their own accord go after a nuclear scientist residence some other target within the iranian government so i think if there was outside actors a state actor behind us 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
