5:01 pm
hello and welcome you are watching out 7 international banks your company's. well starting us off the russian president vladimir putin has awarded the government to start a nationwide fox nation against codes at 19 next week. got the made from this development from correspondent daniel hawkins. 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 on a 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 in these 2000000 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. this was an arts than
5:02 pm
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. 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 was published of course back in september in the lancet a well established and reputable 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 and has been looked at by the regulator and this is why it's now being made available although the entire world is waiting for one of those jobs that
5:03 pm
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 learnt 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 v. 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 the u.k. swedish astra zeneca but much less than others like pfizer and this is why it's a truck that international attention nevertheless now that must 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 that this that saw the way this is of course good news for for the for russia for the world
5:04 pm
which is in the middle of a 2nd wave would fear of a 3rd wave already looking looking likely in the distance any must roll out 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 to another coronavirus vaccine the health secretary announced that the drug develop i find that a biotech will be rolled out next week hope is on its way. through as the fires of bio and tick 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 a 100000 doses of that vaccine are already on their way to the u.k. residents and staff they katherine's for the elderly are being given fast priority followed by people over the age of 18 as well as health care workers we asked people on the streets of london whether they'd be welling to take the job. i think
5:05 pm
that it's exciting because i think that i know a lot of people are 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 is a doctor and she 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 that hasn't been enough to hasn't been enough charles has been the time to refinish 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 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 want to just say and joe says that one of the key obstacles facing a pfizer biotech drug will be the need to store it at ultra cold temperatures it's about historic moments in the sense that this will be that those aren't any based vaccine that is released generally they've been tested be born on experimental
5:06 pm
basis but they've never been released on that scale or so not only does it make drastic mogadishu which is the most important thing right now but it does also mark a watershed moment for this type of thing certainly be a logistical challenge because the back soon requires ultra cold storage explore and start shooting. i don't think that's a stock of the robots i think in certainly in developed countries so 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. while across the channel police brutality is in the spotlight and france off to the ruling party was forced to withdraw a bill severely restricting the film from north forswear offices the government has promised a total rewrite of the legislation which it had earlier claimed was vital to protect the force but critics say that drastic changes needed to restore public
5:07 pm
trust solid to bounce king reports. 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 interior minister outlined his plans for reform so key
5:08 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 resource they are not protected enough 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 in 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 or not enough accusations of police violence of tarnish the name of the force these

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 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 the const more difficult we just have to get through this winter months and we hope people get vaccinated in the czech republic they've gone a bit further than germany and they'll be opening some shops that have being closed albeit with extra carona 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 musses taking place while in germany and iceland they're going for they will auction we recorded shoot services that we broadcast online and have also created

virtual confirmation classes my sumo try to. do something outside the church on christmas eve such as a coup or a performance or a short service the e.u. might get a glimpse of tension what could be coming down the pike by looking at cross the atlantic to the united states last week's thanksgiving celebration so people travel across the country and get together with families who are looking to see if that produces an uptick in the number of corona infections but while restrictions that have been in place across europe of seeing numbers either drop off or level out here the question is is it justified to ease these restrictions for a few days of christmas cheer a this brutal despite its continues unabated as not to be disparate it piece absolutely positively correlated to the contagion is provided by clothes so if you're going to see people go there in exeter more than leading to temptation
5:15 pm
lifting distinctions appears to be more late getting. to close to leaving the night equations and gathering exeter just dangers he says police the measured east absolutely not big. interests we notice we have experiences i don't see any and you do clear that deer they look down east prove it to be an effective way all their containing disparate of the spiders . we all discover now has been ridiculed for comparing it to the grant and some on social media think a bat's account for the children's character who of course stole christmas what in fact be andrew cuomo himself. please come over it is the group. think of it that way. we have few areas have
5:16 pm

5:18 pm
that this whole crisis has negatively impacted the economy what does it mean to return to normal is that even. if it will the divide separating the rich from the poor continues to live. with things become more extreme which leads to right when this is like breaking norms not necessarily in a good way maybe i'm starting to reach satire he knows the fictional transpiring right is an edgy strain is what the reality is. welcome back now l g p t rights activists according for a boycott of the british cosmetics retailer loss us off to the company made a donation to a feminist group which has been accused of until transgender sent went. as opposed to employee trans person and
5:19 pm
a customer i will no longer buy from last u.k. trailer and new zealand etc or 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 l'arche this is so sad i'm disgusted by cotton lush now well our powers of angry tweets came after woman's place u.k. said law should donate to 3000 pounds it's a campaign group against sex discrimination violence against women but opponents say a use a so-called trance exclusion language for example by calling for protection of women only services and spaces well after the uproar last apologized 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
5:20 pm
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 while with firms increasingly finding themselves tried to a fine line when it comes to backing campaigns we discuss the reaction with women's right activist power diana and conservative political campaigner brandon struck who actually describes himself as a gay former liberal. 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 we actually see companies constantly feeling the need to virtue signal based off of whatever the latest leftist demands are they're donating money to these organizations because they're afraid of facing leftist backlash progressives seem to feel that they have carte blanche to go out and stamp their feet and make demands and even threaten bully and intimidate people into going
5:21 pm
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 will be they'll be in such a backlash on social media that they'll be permanently damaged so i know i feel that it's actually compelled speech that's being put forward by the leftist and progressive people it is an injustice especially unfortunately you know in the united states and he's a structure in joss's so we have to hear the voices of these people when they are actually. demanding 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 because they feel intimidated or not i think actually because they would then there may be experiencing an you in alignment and they understand that we have to get back into confidential all the fortune you know going to have all the prevention so it's a matter of balance i think we have to balance our rights and get back to or didn't have i don't care if you feel that an injustice has occurred nobody has the right
5:22 pm
to go out beat people murder people loot stores steal the effect on handbags in the name of their social justice cause i love to call them now with a geisha dapo because there's an almost fascist element to the a l g b t community now they're absolutely the most reem rampant arbiters of cancell culture they love to destroy people they love to destroy people's careers all businesses should be involved in politics and will soon. in social impact absolutely 100 percent it's a measure of social responsibility entrepreneurs 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 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
5:23 pm
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 now battered women are going to be receiving less resources because people are demanding that to funding of a organization that's designed to try to help women who are abused. and finally a new hospital full credit of ours patients has opened it still was in the spanish capital but the inauguration which was held without stops was met with protests critics according to his boss and all his hospital facility in madrid a vanity project and say it's not ready to receive patients it was built 100 days at a cost of 100000000 euros thought twice they originally budget it will open initially with 200 full 2 beds but so far only has one 6th of the work has need to touch to function around 200 local medics rallied outside the building on tuesday they believe the money should have been spent on existing hospitals which have suffered
5:24 pm
years of budget cuts. officials should not be investing more than 100000000 viewers in them to build for materials we hope that they realize this and make a better choice there are many structures and professionals in need of investment and we do not think that authorities should be asking volunteers to go to an empty hospital while we have overcrowded ones well as follows once upon rest among spanish medical staal for over funding. cuts on what conditions and october the country's doctors held their 1st national strike in 25 years and last week thousands of medics running to madrid against tough cuts which would face political scientists rip and tumble aoe questions whether there's a practical need for the clinic in the long run. it's too much money for just a lot of must be done. in just what action. they need what is going to be with these new hospitals anybody knows. in a system in
5:25 pm
a spain we don't have i'm not tsunami system will cost and i see no system it's only for the region so for example if you are going in on hills you know you're going to go to lisa. he goes to have to go to the hospital in your area so there is a lot of prolix with these. problems with the protests we makes the problems we see these no not in this system that set from me for today at the top of the hour will be shown thomas he'll be here for the next few hours as for me.
