are broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our chief international thomas certainly glad to have you with us right now the russian president vladimir putin has ordered the government to start a nationwide vaccination against 1000 next week. got the latest on this development from correspondent. 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 fringes to 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
6:02 pm
the end of next week. this was an arts than 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 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
6:03 pm
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 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 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 that this that saw the
6:04 pm
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 to another girl on a virus vaccine the health secretary announced that the drug developed by pfizer and by on tech will be rolled out next week hope is on its way. all through is the fires of bio antic fact seen for code 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 and care homes for the elderly are being given 1st priority followed by people over the age of 80 and health care workers we asked people in
6:05 pm
london whether they will be willing to take the job. i think that it's exciting because i think bad 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 about it. but you i just don't believe and i think this study 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 higher chance of finding 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. viola just to jones that says that one of the key obstacles facing the pfizer biotech drug will be the need to store it at ultra cold temperatures. it's ponce about 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
6:06 pm
hundreds or mental basis but they've never been released on that scale so not 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 of minus aids the reason is it's 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 have access to boat storage. police brutality is in the spotlight in france after the ruling party has a 4 has been forced to withdraw a bill severely restricting the filming of law enforcement officers the government has promised

6:08 pm
interior minister outlined his plans for reform so a key a mike what is my deep conviction and 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 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 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 as he the police officers or flexion of the good side of our society but for many woods are not

about desire to international. rights activists are calling for a boycott of the british cosmetics retailer lush that's after the company made a donation to a feminist group which has been accused of anti transit gender sentiment. as opposed to employee eat trans person and a customer i will no longer buy from los u.k. and new zealand etc this is disgusting and law should be ashamed you cannot complain for transfer rights and then turn around to donate to an end to chance organization last u.k. needs to apologize no christmas presents from lush no shopping ever again from last this is so sad i'm disgusted boycotting lush now that barrage of angry tweets came after woman's place u.k. said lush had donated 3000 pounds it's a campaign group against sex discrimination and violence against women but
6:20 pm
opponents say it uses so-called trans exclusionary language for example by calling for protection of women only services and spaces after the uproar lush 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 feel proud to support and we wish to put a time recently for that we can assure you we're looking at all we do to try to strengthen our process against further mistakes with firms increasingly finding themselves treading a fine line when it comes to backing campaigns we discuss the reaction with women's rights activist. and the conservative political campaign a brand instructor who 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
6:21 pm
leftist ideology 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 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 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 actually. demand change and i think this is the right moment to change and that's
6:22 pm
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 understood that 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 2007 rights and go back to before we didn't have i don't care if you feel that an injustice has occurred nobody has the right 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 stop 0 because there's an almost fascist element to the a l g b t community now they're absolutely the most recent rampant arbiters of cancell culture they love to destroy people they love to destroy people's careers old business as should be in bold and 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
6:23 pm
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 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 an organization that's designed to try to help women who are abused. a new hospital for coronavirus patients has opened its doors in the spanish capital but the inauguration which was held without staff was met with protests critics are calling the isabella hospital facility in madrid
