2:01 pm
making sure you never miss a story and this is a national thanks for choosing us as always we're very happy to have your company. well to get us started the russian president vladimir putin has a look at the government to start a nationwide vaccination against codes of 19 next week my colleague got all the latest on this development from ati's daniel. it's clear the 1st people to receive the job starting as early as next week would be those who are most vulnerable and who work with the most vulnerable so of course medical professionals and teachers among other key workers it would then be made available to the wider public and it's coming out very much over the next few days. we have already produced these 2000000 doses of the 1st ranges to vaccine against coronavirus speed v this will allow us to start widespread vaccination specifically
2:02 pm
among 2 risk groups doctors and teachers i would like to ask you to start vaccination at the end of next week. 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 for those that wish to. get themselves against covered 90 now there's been quite a lot of criticism around this but i think 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 can that it actually is across the world from major global international pharma companies pfizer for one which of course was approved by the
2:03 pm
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 it will medical journal it was peer reviewed on 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 it has been looked at by the regulator and this is why it's now being made available for. 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 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
2:04 pm
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 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 the districts are the way this is of course good news for for the for russia for the world which is in the middle of a 2nd wave with fear 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 coronavirus well that announcement from washer came on the same day that britain gave the green knight not the coronavirus vaccine the health minister there announced that the drug developed by pfizer and biotech will be rolled out next week. hope is on its
2:05 pm
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 supplying the 1st 800000 doses about vaccine already on their way to the u.k. right now residents and staff i kept homes for the elderly are being given 1st priority followed by people over the age of 18 and health care workers we also people in london whether they'll be willing to take this job. 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 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 and i think there's so 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 hasn't enough time to refinish find out
2:06 pm
things that he's safe i don't think that there 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 everything like that i would be sort of very low on the list i would imagine. but i would actually get it why i wanted to stay and joe says that one of the key obstacles facing the pfizer biotech drug will be the need to has to store at ultra cold temperatures that sponsor above historic moments in the sense that this will be that those 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 only does it drastically the issue which is the most important thing right now but it does also mark a watershed moment but this. 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 stock of the robots i think in certainly in developed countries so i think the
2:07 pm
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 of the work world which don't stop access to vote storage . police brutality is in the spotlight across the shallow and from the softer the ruling party was forced to withdraw a bill severely restricting the filming often or enforcement offices the government has promised now a total rewrite of the legislation which it had earlier claimed was vital to protect the force but critics say the drastic change is what's needed now to restore public trust reporting from paris and charlotte to penske. it's the burning issue in france right now how to 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 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
