you've got 2 eyes 2 ears and one now. so you should be seen here and a whole lot more than you're saying if you don't take that advice easy going to dig yourself. russia says it's a covert job will cost less than $10.00 per dose as it presents. to u.n. member states. where people are killed after a large explosion at a wastewater treatment plant in the west of england. and recordings of c.n.n. staff meetings are leaked by a project very conservative group claims that the tapes show the t.v. news networks biased against president trump. are broadcasting live direct from our studios moscow this is our to international

i'm john thomas really glad to have you with us. less than $10.00 for covert immunity that's the price for russia the vaccine internationally and that is as it was presented to the u.n. general assembly on wednesday moscow wants the job to be available to the whole world and has already agreed on deliveries to foreign countries we will be producing. those this was a week seeing already just starting from february in 4th. in brazil korea and argentina will radiate reach supply agreement and production agreements with those countries more than 40 countries have expressed an interest in buying sputnik v. however many western critics have already written off the russian vaccine artie's down hawkins looks at why. the media today is full of big headlines pfizer's covert 19 vaccine is officially the 1st to be approved in a western country with the united kingdom leading the way there's

a sense of excitement that lives can be saved on the 1st steps towards codewords final defeat have been taken i would like to pay tribute to and to thank with those who've made this possible it is the protection. that will ultimately allow us to recruit our lives and get our recall of the movie again this is a victory but the real winner in the race for a covert job has been vaccine protectionism to many in western media and establishment only western produced vaccines can even be considered as part of a global solution to the pandemic and now they're on the brink from the advantage is that seen as a seneca high as pfizer makes a final push drug company pfizer says it is a great day for science c.e.o. pfizer tweeting out his congratulations. this is really a historic day we have pfizer we have or take you up while the european medicines agency has confirmed it's in contact with the developers of sport nick v. the e.u.

has also been clear it doesn't recommend any e.u. state makes up its own mind about importing the vaccine even if they wanted to the reason strong lobby against vaccines that are being developed outside the european union but that's life we're already used to it and it in hungary is interest to get us a vaccine as quickly as possible hungary isn't alone this has been global since the sputnik ves existence was 1st announced back then media and members of the scientific community were quick to criticize russia for failing to provide public data on the vaccine safety and even when phase one and 2 clinical trial data up was later published in the lancet skepticism mistrust and suspicion of were still rife at any mention of sport mcvie moscow has been accused of cutting corners user. the steal western research russia rushed to register it as a world 1st raising eyebrows in the scientific community putin this might be his

personal back through plenty even here still need persuading that sputnik v. is a reliable choice there's always room for healthy skepticism and critical thinking as with any new vaccine but it seems some require slightly more scrutiny than others take my den or the company has requested emergency approval from the american and european regulators for its vaccine 10 days before that pfizer and biotech sought the same clearance for their job yet neither company has publicly released full data from clinical trials for peer review in any medical journal and it's not just about peer review moscow's been clear it's open to international corporation on covert vaccination to save lives and to win the battle against corona virus we are ready to cooperate with others in terms of vaccination particularly on the council of europe's platform the crew of a pandemic has made it clear that europeans need to unit in the face of common threats these offers appear to fall on their fears whether it's

a deep mistrust or the belief that sport not views just the way for putin to gain political approval truly joint efforts to find a vaccine never materialized this is probably of little concern to develop states most will really have brought up the majority of vaccine surprise produced by their own companies while the rest of the world is unlikely to get access to the vaccines for years to come vaccine protectionism has truly try out with only western produced vaccines touted as world saving despite being unavailable to most and then alternatives trashed and dismissed from the outset the world never really stood a chance at making a united stands against coronavirus this isn't a competition between ourselves it's about doing the best for our world for the global population and that we must all work together. to get vaccines distributed i think there was a very good paper that was published in the peer review journal about the russian vaccine a long sit the general issue about the rush to produce vaccines has been that many

of the vaccines have been presented in press releases or all the in peer reviewed papers it's important that we have doing clinical trials that these are reported properly i know that the sputnik vaccine is being trialled in india now as well and that's a great thing it's about sharing the responsibility we all have to ensure vaccines are safe effective and that we share them particularly in parts of the wall going to struggle like developing countries where we need to be helping with large populations in an interview the head of a pharmaceutical company responsible for the mass rollout of sputnik v. says western skepticism is groundless. what has happened is placed in experts say that russians are rushing with a vaccine back seem to be tried and tested my family a long period of time and that we've done everything so fast. company can win a western counterparts make statements we need to look very closely at who is

saying it and exactly what they are saying for example they frequently complain that the gamma institute hasn't published enough data and so all of the same time we should realize that just a research institute is not a pharmaceutical giant like astra zeneca or pfizer a lot of p.r. specialists are usually presenting the data selectively and in a favorable light so once again you shouldn't compare the data published by the government institute with the data published by western companies on the other hand if you still want to make a comparison that's compared to the oxford research group when it hadn't yet signed an agreement with astra zeneca no one knew them and no one saw the results until big pharma got involved. just how realistic is it to prove that the vaccine is safe to this point we've seen convincing dates of the proof is safe it was proven during pre-clinical animal testing please consider that i'm talking about safety mail not effectiveness then it was proven during clinical trials on healthy volunteers we've

done all that statistics to show that the vaccine is safe. getting a good vaccine out there could see us all getting out and enjoying ourselves again after a year in the dark for the performing arts we catch up with a russian prima ballerina to talk about staying informed during a lockdown and how theatres are prepping for a curtain up once more as a little bit later in the program. the most unexpected of places wants to take holy orders to get a round of the town or to kill a bar in central england has applied for a church license of all things in a tongue in cheek bid to highlight what it calls the absurdity of selective restrictions as places of worship can stay open but restaurants and bars can't.

under the new to this is that we would be allowed to i. could be months and months as we don't have a substantial future for our kitchen says know who she needs to do that and so we look to other ways all the other businesses in the news that i can under all that is complicit wish it was one of them so we've reached the branch to define you as a or send off allocation to register the venue as a place of worship. as the church of the 400. main reason is to sort of point out that the contradictory nature of the rules our everything from jim. church is in massage parlors every shot we've got a christmas market happening in austin or outside at all for us to go ahead while what we have to say shows that. we just make stuff so it is mrs

clarke was completely avoidable we need more government support. to get us through so the wise. as we've seen in the news the last couple of days the high street is already here with arcadia and. it's been decimated and hospitality next to step up. 4 people have been confirmed dead after a large explosion in the west of england the incident happened at a waste water treatment facility outside bristol artie's ali reports from the site . well around 1120 this morning local time emergency services for to this rule to treatment facility here just outside bristol in the southwest of england been an explosion at a chemical plant the the site not too long ago in the last hour or so we've

had a press conference being held by the local chief of police and local head of the fire service the fire service lead the rescue operation but sadly despite the best efforts of all those involved we can confirm that the full face helmet sees the scene fully 3 employees that were 6 water and one contractor a 5th person was also injured but their injuries are not believed to be life threatening. but the investigation will be carried out into what happened today involving a number of agencies and the health safety take it into pools police have confirmed that they. are no longer looking for missing people don't expect that to be any more casualties in terms of death or injury one thing that was interesting that came out from the press conference held to long ago was a plea by the police not for people to give them more to jump to conclusions not to listen to any rumors or anything that they've had on social media this is more

being treated as an act of terrorism he said but of course those investigations as to the exact cause of that explosion will be going on over the next coming days and weeks and the majesty services do remain on the scene for that express purpose. a conservative group in the u.s. has leaked tapes of staff meetings at c.n.n. project veritas claims that they prove the network's bias against the president exists in one clip c.n.n. special correspondent jamie gangle is heard saying how news organizations should be wary of giving trump too much airtime. i just keep hearing the same thing. jennings who have not been there to congratulate me. but also to you know what happened to democrats and that is that we have to be you know news organizations have to be.

responsible. not keeping track of too much of a platform. to heating. the trolls initial to move forward. well the network says project veritas may have a broken the law by snooping on its staff and defended the language used in the recording saying diversity of personal opinion is what makes human strong earlier my colleagues ask a tailor spoke to the communications women and for project very tough who was involved in releasing the recordings. you hear the outgoing president of c.n.n. jeff zucker dictating to his hosts reporters editors and producers what the news will be not based on whether it is true not based on whether it's important but whether or not it fits jeff zucker's world view and personal political agenda there's no diversity of opinion nobody objects nobody challenges c.n.n.

did react very quickly on twitter that said it is going to get your enforcement involved my question is are you ready and t. think the door is on your side i don't believe for a minute that the police are to come knocking on our door everything that project veritas does is legal we have a very well trained and very well paid legal staff and i'm highly confident that everything we did was within the legal guard rails you know and no one has called us from from law enforcement that's just something they said that tweet came from cnn's p.r. staff and i think you can call that a p.r. stunt and i want to ask you one of the tables what todd and and your private discussions with that is his work space what you support as well don. who who is objecting c.n.n. i mean they ran secretly recorded tapes of 1st lady malani a trump just weeks ago they were in the access hollywood tapes they ran tapes

secretly recorded of mitt romney when he was the 2012 republican candidate for president the idea that c.n.n. is suddenly upset. about somebody were chris secretly recording a meeting or a conference call and put and putting out to the public that's absolutely absurd legal and media analyst lionel told us that he believes that news outlets which are shot the most about their impartiality usually show the least. so the question is what role did o'keefe play because if he if he just got the number himself from somebody let's say just gave it to him and he dialed in himself never being a part of us i think you may have legal problems but this is weird because now we have zoom cause and now we have new areas of conversation and conference it's not a one on one conversation and don't forget lionel's law the law always lags behind

technology if we had done the same thing let's say 2. or. something how bad you we would maybe hear something maybe not as blatant as that but certainly a journalistic bias and there are other people who say this is the brand the idea of you tuning in to c.n.n. you want to hear a liberal anti trump stuff i'm sorry but that's a fact so being true to the bad brand to the shareholders they have to produce but here's the thing which is amazing when you look at people who go out of their way to see we are the news we are unbiased fair and balanced is this in essence a form of trademark law is this perjury to say enjoy any kind of liability for misleading the consumer if i tell you something is 100 calories but it's 200 you've got to believe i may get a lawsuit well i'm lying about the content why shouldn't it apply otherwise watch this being addressed in the courts coming up. president trump has urged the supreme

court to intervene in the u.s. election and overturn the results in multiple states in a 46 minute speech posted online he repeated his claim that the vote was stolen. this may be the most important speech i've ever made i want to provide an update on our own going efforts to expose the tremendous voter fraud and irregularities which took place during the ridiculous lee long nov 3rd elections i am determined to protect our election system which is now under coordinated assault and see if we are right about the fraud joe biden can't be president from pointed to irregularities in the voting system including millions of illegal votes and dead people casting ballots he accused democrat run areas of voter corruption and changing the results trump added that he would accept in any outcome as long as

it's accurate but his attorney general has already undercut some of those claims we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election meanwhile president elect joe biden and his team are dismissing the allegations of voter fraud calling the election results fair professor of latin american studies at daniel shall believes the fraud claims are a distraction from the real problems underlying the us voting system. it's clear that these elections are corrupt through and through but not for the reasons that donald trump highlights the corrupt are going through because there's an electoral college that does not recognize the popular vote there's already a complete lack of trust people do not respect the electoral college most americans can't even explain the electoral college or provide any type of justification or logic for which there is none many americans don't even participate in presidential elections because they understand that it's. a choice between 2 oppresses for the

next 4 years between tweedle dee tweedle dum trump is just expose the system from the right in created these decisions that have long existed. france is threatening to shut huge numbers of mosques after announcing massive and unprecedented raids on more than 70 islamic places of worship the stated goal is to fight quote separatism and liberate french islam from foreign influences artesia dubinsky explained well this fight against separatism is something we've covered many times here but now it seems that $76.00 more mosques same fronts are going to be caught in the crossfire of that the interior minister has confirmed the reports in french newspapers that those mosques are now in the next few days going to see what he described as being unprecedented action. in accordance with my instructions the student services will launch massive precedented action against bridges and 76

mosques suspected of surprises might be checked in the coming days and those that have to be closed will be where the mosques that are due to be targeted are said to have clandestine rooms or have more in moms who are on alert for the prevention of terrorist radicalization these are some of the reasons why these mosques are said to be targeted now muslims have already been saying that they fear of reprisals and there have been allegations of attacks taking place on muslims because of their faith most recent emerged on wednesday of this week this took place at a mosque just in the south of paris and as you can see from the images it said that the car deliberately drove into the front of the mosque smashing those windows of the doors now the tensions have come at a time when the council of ministers is in the next few days due to look at this new law to promote republican values it was previously called the separatism or

prevent separatism law here in france it's a long time coming present my confers talked about it earlier on this year but the law itself the draft law was released in the weeks following the brutal beheading of teachers patti who had been targeted for showing controversial images of the muslim prophet during a civics class back in october now following his brutal assassination there was a clampdown on muslim associations here in france and the closure of a mosque in punt we went to that mosque and spoke to the congregation there who said that they felt that they had been unfairly targeted on are crucial to man we have a very kind of man who speaks to us in a rabbit confounds and doesn't tell people what to do it he never gathered us together to tell us to do anything bad. that was written for george orwell i don't know if i told people you should go on by. weapons and then they go and buy weapons and kill someone i'm not responsible for that. i'm not happy about the mosques

closure i'm against what happened to the teacher i condemn it i do not agree with those who committed the crime but for the mosque it's a shame. well these clampdowns here in france are provoked huge reaction elsewhere particularly in some muslim majority countries where there have been protests with tens of thousands of people turning up effigies of president and a call for a boycott on french products being sold in their countries many muslims are concerned they are living in an element of fear at the moment and they feel that they are being targeted by this law and for many this announcement that 76 more mosques will be either closed or subject to new restrictions that will make them feel that even more so france is becoming an unfriendly place to live. stuff out french mountain resorts are up in arms over the government's decision to keep skin facilities closed over the festive season unrest broke out after the

government announced covert 19 restrictions will remain in place for christmas and new year hundreds of people rallied at a major alpine resort on wednesday they say that they have already taken far reaching measures to comply with health restrictions and keep visitors safe and the season long shutdown would ruin their livelihoods. everything you please so we can welcome to our representatives met with authorities to discuss procedures for the ski resorts we were ready we were told to wait for a decision but nothing has come out of that. hole to open the cable cars as soon as the helicity improves obviously the goal is not to create a cluster in our valley but we have to think about all those workers at the resorts and their economic survival. we are very concerned we are doing everything we can to complete our season but we hear the many french people will be going to broad to

ski if feels like having the rug pulled from under us we're willing to make sacrifices but not to be taken for fools if people want to go on holiday let them come to amount. they are going to be safe. the french government is standing by its decision which follows a nationwide spike in corona virus infections and a prime minister. has urged people not to go skiing abroad saying random border checks will be imposed we spoke with the mayor of a resort village he thinks that the measures make no sense. this is absurd we do not deny the risks but it's ridiculous to think that outdoor activities of very risky be aware that the ski resorts that close now but people will still come in from a security standpoint receiving these gifts is a very big challenge mr juncker stakes these words are frivolous here underestimates these contradictions we face today i'll give you an example that might make you smile the only entity allowed in lives on new year's holidays is to

go to the cinema this is how decisions made above are affecting territory that falls under so many restrictions. just about every industry has suffered during the covered crisis and the performing arts is no exception uncertainty and lock downs have left them starved of audiences with the curtains down for much of 2020 for stay at home performers that has meant extra challenges to stay in tip top condition ready for when the audiences return we spoke to the russian prima ballerina out of a from the ballet about moscow's premier stage has been weathering the pandemic. just what out of most of the theaters across the world are closed we keep working however the circumstances are unusual we'll have to perform with 25 percent auditorium capacity so the middle of january and i hope it will not last longer have you already performed under such circumstances no not yet so much at 7 am we're living through crazy times cause it's safe to measures all that has become

a hard challenge it may have been very difficult to get fit i said not what has been keeping you through that. and if the 1st month of the quarantine was like a nightmare we were in the complete dark with regard to the future the lack of awareness was making me nervous shiver do you know what the hardest thing was we all realised that it could have been over at any moment and we would have to get back to trainings being in good shape of course we all trained at home in the early days of the quarantine there were gags on the internet about belly dances not just only russian but for who were the 1st to have been put on lockdown there was shown training holding on to the sink to the stove in the kitchen or literally in the corner at 1st it seemed to be funny but later on with every new extension it had been getting increasingly tense but the pandemic has proved to be a challenge to seize and dancers what about young dancers who are right at the start of their careers such a disruption at

a time when the foundations of been laid how consequential is it which it is a very challenging time for the graduates who had to train at home as well which apprised of all that they had aspired to they missed the graduation concert exams hard times for them and their mentors what will you wish yourself what else do you need to achieve when it comes to your career i'm happy to be here our government supports us it doesn't matter that the auditorium capacity has been limited to just 25 percent of course such ballets as small lake spartacus all of by their i did. to dance without the same applause and screams of bravo to which the bolshoi theater stage is used to do which i'm used to but still the fans try to support us and therefore i think called we continue to work and have the opportunity to go on stage and done them with us to you in just over 32 minutes i'll be back with your headlines this is our 2 international but i do with.

what happened. trust. in the central banks. are going to find no. continuity for change this is what is being asked when considering a potential buy to trim point to undo obama's legacy when fighting do the same to trump or is this all only continuity drives foreign policy not the occupant in the oval.

greetings and salutation. if there is one thing that the powers that be in government can stand more than you know term limits honesty and fiscal responsibility it's an informed organized and protesting public and after a summer of organized protests and revolt sometimes in the name of good like pushing back against police violence and by the against racial injustice and other times not so good like bringing assault weapons into a state capital because you were told to wear a mask and wash your hands this to mulch a season of protest has left many in the positions of power nervously looking over their shoulders wondering if the pitchforks and torches are coming for them next well thankfully it appears the powers that be. can breathe easy thanks to the u.s. air forces research lab and the good folks at signal frame what is this mysterious signal frame you ask well it is a washington d.c.

wireless tech company that has developed a new software that can jump off.
