3:01 pm
live from the russian capital this is all too international always good to have you with us let's take a look at some news. while starting off the russian president vladimir putin has ordered the government to start nationwide vaccination against covert 19 next week earlier on my colleague jack convertible got all the latest on this development from martinez daniel. the russian president made 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 that 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 among 2 risk groups doctors and teachers and i would like to ask you to start vaccination at the
3:02 pm
end of next week. this was an else than a video press conference with the deputy prime minister. 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. themselves against covert 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 was published of course by can september in the lancet a well established and up it all 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
3:03 pm
reviewed and 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 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 mc 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 the u.k. 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 or months i suppose the government's going to see what sort of
3:04 pm
demand there is and then base their export models of those that is that sort of 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 rollout of a vaccine is of course good news in the fight against cohen a virus that announcement from russia came on the same day that britain gave the green light not that corona virus vaccine the health minister announced that the drug developed by pfizer and biotech will be rolled out next week. hope is on his way the m.h.r. a his form all through as the fires a biotech fact seen 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 a 100000 doses of that vaccine already on the way to thing u.k. residents and star care homes for the elderly are big given 1st deb's followed by people over the age of 80 and health care workers we asked people in london whether
3:05 pm
that would be willing to take the job. i think that it's exciting because i think that i know a lot of people 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 it. but 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 that hasn't been enough to has it been enough charles has been enough time to we 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 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 have to work at it if i wanted to stay and joe says that one of the keel still is facing this pfizer biotech drug will be the need to store it at ultra cold temperatures but it's also because moments in the sense that this will be that
3:06 pm
those aren't any based vaccine that is released generally means just that people or a 100 spare a month will boast this but they've never been released on that scale or so not only does it drastic move an issue which is the most important thing right now but it does also mark a watershed moment but this vaccine will certainly be a logistical challenge because the back soon requires ultra cold storage before it starts to be used i don't think that's a stock or not the robots i think in certainly in developed countries. so i think the provision of mind 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 start so as to vote storage . police brutality is in the spotlight and from the softer the ruling party was forced to withdraw a bill severely restricting the filming of who enforcement officers the government has promised
3:07 pm
a total rewrite of the legislation which it had earlier claimed was vital to protect the force but critics say that drastic change is needed to restore public trust solid to bensky for ports. 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 with 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
3:08 pm
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 in athletics 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

outrage by easing restrictions but leaders fear the festive gatherings could spark a fresh wave of outbreaks on europe correspondent peter oliver brings us the story . european leaders are facing a balancing act between keeping covert restrictions in place to stop the spread of the virus and allowing families to be together over the festive period this also the need to try in the peace some of those that have been out on the streets of european cities angry and fed up with the current restrictions. the problem is ease restrictions for christmas and new year you may well get a spike in the virus in january here in germany chancellor angela merkel has
3:13 pm
reluctantly agreed to ease restrictions on the number of people that are allowed to gather together that's been raised to 10 not including children in that number between the 23rd of december and the 1st of january but she has said that there is a personal responsibility on people to try and keep covert safe that people in winter are worst equipped against the virus and then in the sound that because we spend much more time inside close spaces the situation becomes more difficult we just have to get through this winter months and we hope people get a taxi meter in the czech republic they've got a bit further than germany and they'll be opening some shops that have being closed albeit with extra corona measures in place when it comes to religious services there's also a split across europe in italy and in ireland there will be socially distanced masses taking place while in germany and iceland they're going for the virtual

welcome back canelo. rights activists calling for a boycott of the british cosmetics retailer loss that's off to the company made a donation to a feminist group which has been accused of anti transgender sentiment. as opposed to employee trans person and a customer i will no longer buy from loss u.k. . new zealand etc this is disgusting and law should be ashamed you cannot complain for transfer ojt and then turn around to donate to an end to transylvania station last u.k. needs to apologize no christmas presents from lunch no shopping ever again from last this is so sad i'm disgusted lush now while the
3:18 pm
hours of angry tweets came off to lash tony to $3000.00 pounds to woman's place u.k. so that's a campaign group against sex discrimination and violence against women but opponents say it uses so-called trans exclusion written language for example by calling for protection of women only services and spaces after the backlash lush apologized for supporting the group there is never going to be a system that eliminates all mistakes but we really take due diligence seriously in the case of these 2 donations we feel that money has gone to work that we would not feel proud to support and we wish to apologize to reservedly for that we can assure you we're looking at all we do to try to strengthen our process against further mistakes let's now speak with author and woman's right activist and brandon struct
3:19 pm
who describes himself as a gay former liberal he's founder of the conservative a campaign both of you thank you so much for coming on to the program power i'm going to start with you in your opinion is that any justification for this outpouring of anger that we just heard a little bit of again slush. if you for having me i don't think there is any justification at all against sloshes percival but also against this association a woman's place in u.k. i really think everything started from a misunderstanding complete misunderstanding because after about the news as i hate fake news i went to the sources and went searching for of the truth you know behind that and i also of course i checked the website of the woman's place and i saw many statements of this association where they declare clearly that they're completely not untie trance and they only had one speaker few years ago who was attacking verbally of course maybe i don't agree with you know what the words use
3:20 pm
but anyway she was attacking just want trans activists who in her words before it was bawling hair so he was he has been very aggressive towards her and she was just you know going against that and telling her supporters what happened so i think everything was started because of a fake news i'm sorry i think this news they just didn't really check to the the truth behind the news of the news information they got and also you know what i am very sad when i hear about you know trans people and families the 2 clash because we we have we have one mission all of us together and this mission is to and the patriarch a system because that's our enemy is patriarchy that's where our comes homophobia sexism racism so that's why we actually should be allied not enemies brandon i want
3:21 pm
to pick up a apologist that 1st of all is the patriarch of the enemy and 2nd of all do you think that l g p t activists may be doing themselves a disservice with this kind of boycotting maybe slightly aggressive behavior is that council culture gone mad as some critics say. yes. so well to answer your 1st question about the patriarchy i mean that's not really a term that i use it's not really a term that people in my sphere political sphere or you know the people that i associate with really use this is a very leftist term it's a very feminist term and it's a very specific term so i think we would have to get a better understanding of exactly which issue we're referring to when we talk about things like the patriarchy i would need a more specific example of what it is that we're referring to in terms of my community the l g b t community yes my community has absolutely gone loco i love to call them now the gay shop oh because there's an almost fascist element to the a l g b t community now they're absolutely the most ran rampant arbiters of cancel culture
3:22 pm
they love to destroy people they love to destroy people's careers unfortunately my community you know bear in mind i used to be a liberal i used to be a democrat and i've always been on the fighting lines for l g b t rights but something very peculiar happened in the united states around 2015 when marriage equality was attained here in the united states and this is happening around the world rather than be satisfied and be happy with the equality that the l g b t community has attained we now feel my community now feels that it's their mission to go out and try to do as much damage and as much create as much conformity and and to i think really. snap their fingers and get other people to to comply with their demands and their wishes and it's really gone far beyond justice it's gone far beyond equality it's now about really trying to control other people and it's particularly sad in this instance because now they've actually just completely shamed and made a target of an organization that's trying to help abused women battered women so
3:23 pm
now battered women are going to be receiving less resources because people are demanding the defending of an organization that's designed to try to help women who are abused not some other despicable power i want to come back here now many would say is a cosmetics brand it's not anything to do with political activism to think that's a place for all businesses to get involved in politics i think all businesses should be involved in politics and also in social impact absolutely 100 percent it's a matter of social responsibility entrepreneur as well you know i try to donate as much as i can because we have to give back to the community unfortunately we know that this state funding is not enough so we need to companies and big enterprises that to be sensitive and help you know organizations that are trying to do something right and definitely you know we don't have to be so aggressive that's
3:24 pm
also another thing you know why start a war i didn't understand we should debate you know if there is a problem if there is a problem with one activist with another activists and we should come from than we should talk about this new but we should you know keep the dissent they hate hatred rage because this only is just war says just make it worse for everyone and again it doesn't help transform unity it doesn't help you know women's rights in the war and we just want to better work for everyone and took in as a feminist you know i i want to include as much people as they as i can and definitely i don't hate. anyone i love a man who lost transfer i think of the law the answer is always a lot you know we start companies like these because that's wrong for everyone and again you know the american system we win if we are divided we just have to be.
3:25 pm
branded i want to look at this in a sort of my. point of view one of the broader implications for the freedom of speech all companies going to be so scared to have any misstep that they're just going to stay silent going to be afraid of being boycotted. well no i don't think that i think it's the opposite i don't think that companies are going to stay silent i think that companies are going to feel like they have are compelled to go along with leftist ideology and i apologize i met a bit of a disadvantage here because you know i'm on the other side of the pond as you guys are so i know sometimes the terminology on your side is a little different in ours what we consider to be democrat i think you guys have a different meaning but i'm talking about really liberals when i talk about leftism when i talk about progressivism things the united states here in the u.s. we actually see companies constantly feeling the need to virtue signal based off of whatever the latest leftist demands are i mean earlier this year in the united states leftists went out started smashing windows alluding stores committing acts
3:26 pm
of violence and vandalism under the disingenuous organization in name black lives matter so now many american companies feel the need to virtue signal that black lives matter we have it painted now on n.b.a. basketball courts in the united states i mean this is an organization that has caused unfathomable violence and unfathomable crime in the name of their organization but just for the sake of trying to remain safe and trying to remain in business organizations are are chanting black lives matter and their their their virtues signaling to them in their they're donating money to these organizations because they're afraid of facing leftist backlash now here in the u.s. that doesn't exist on the other side conservatives what we call republicans conservatives they're not out there committing acts of violence and vandalism in the names of our causes they're not out there demanding that organizations be canceled if they don't go along with what we want them to do this is a one sided thing that's happening where progressives seem to feel that they have
3:27 pm
carte blanche to go out and stamp their feet and make demands and even threaten bully and intimidate people into going along with what they want and if organizations and businesses don't comply they'll be driven out of business they'll be picketed they'll be defunded l.b. . they'll be in such a backlash on social media that they'll be permanently damaged so no i feel that it's actually compelled speech that's being put forward by the leftist and progressive people. paolo i want to also ask you you talked there about how obviously a charity now wall will lose out and that and women will be impacted by this do you think that maybe does a tendency people are getting angry they get so consumed by this anger that they don't think about the implications also you know lushes a huge company that has thousands of stalls and thousands of employees who could potentially lose their livelihoods does sometimes emotion take over rationality here. absolutely 100 percent and this is
3:28 pm
a problem of this new we're all social media in which we're all leaving you know because news coming come by or even if it's a peak news we have to be very very careful and again you know these ideal black and white are these opposition between people all the war you know and everything everything comes from you know from a view that it is really much show that you know culture is part of the toxic must community that actually we all want to end because it's bad not only for women but for man as well and i want to one second to and to reply to what to brandon was telling about blacks like matter because i understand that we definite don't agree about to the new thing and destroying that you know places but there is something there that and there is an injustice especially unfortunately and in the united states and is a structure in joss's so we have to hear the voices of these people when they're actually. demand that change and i think this is the right moment to change and that's maybe why you know companies now they're doing that i don't think that is
3:29 pm
because they feel intimidated or not i think actually because they understood that there may be experiencing a new enlightenment or they understand that we have to get back and we can't control all the fortune you know and have all the privileged so it's a matter of balance i think we have to balance our rights and give back to people who didn't have. friends i'm going to play devil's advocate for a 2nd and last year there was a mass boycott of hotel select kemper and i off to the southeast asian nation introduced the death penalty for gay sex so they came to me to back down said it's not going to enforce the law and that is the sort of an example that sometimes this kind of back ups what some say is too radical campaign does actually walk. well sure but i mean i think the problem listen i'm not here saying that i don't believe in protesting or that i don't believe in unifying under a common goal of trying to fight oppression where oppression actually exists i mean
3:30 pm
we're talking about the criminalization of homosexuality or in some cases the death penalty for homosexuality or being transgender around the world that's a worthy cause for you know coming together and standing up and advocating for but i mean when we're talking about something like a women's a women's organization that's dedicated to trying to help women who are abused or battered and that they're not allowed to simply say look you have to be a biological woman to be able to avail yourself of our services and it would be one thing mind you it would be one thing if we lived in a world where the progressive left still consider transgender to mean somebody who was born biologically male or female and then transition to the other gender but that's not what the left coast transgender any more progress it's called this we're now calling trans anybody who identifies as any gender or any identity that they wish they can be neither male nor female they can be both they can be it's so
