look hostage the deaths that happen every single day this is a history of the usa america. behind me different feeling is being told here if things like this particular line produces things 1000. i think this is thousands so this is that. is it's one of the centers producing russia sputnik. that is the capital starts mass vaccination. plans for immunization id's in wales asserting fears getting a covert 'd vaccination while not obligatory will become all but. we get reaction. if some sort of certificate salaciousness report then it does become subliminally. sure we're. going to lose our civil liberties over this what are we really get of

the news in an exclusive interview with r.t. employee co-founder bill john waters explains why the outcome of the us presidential election was always going to be disappointing. if trump had been reelected it would have been worse for everyone in the world but that doesn't make no good candidate. either thanks so much for joining us this is r.t. international. has become the 1st russian city to start mass vaccination the country's sputnik v. job is being made freely available to citizens everyone will get it at this stage high risk groups including hospital school staff will be 1st in line priority also being given to those aged between 18 and 60 russia's daily infection rate has spiraled in 29000 the numbers have been steadily rising since early september

auntie's you have all of a visited one of the places that's producing russia sputnik. we are the car companies safety despite its market and surprises that's received by cutting the government's secret she's the 1st registered bigsby coronavirus but see if my production has already started here let's take a sputnik the is a too short adenovirus based effects of x. seen the difference between sputnik v. and some other international code 19 vaccines is this vaccine is a human based one not an animal so what's a vaccine it's an engineered virus lacking the gene for representation therefore it's unable to in fact what it does is said as a vehicle for corona virus proteins over 3 weeks a patient receives 2 different jobs to form antibodies and disease resistance from the vaccine consist of 2 different shots it's a quite complex task in terms of production because you have to manufacture 2

vaccines as opposed to one in every way i am a different scene is being fulfilled here that if not this particular line for jay says $6000.00 souls but our meeting says you 1000 so this is per hour as each bottle containing 5 days says the final few minutes to be boxing day said. before taking a coronavirus vaccination everyone is examined to make sure they're healthy but it takes another 15 minutes to store the vaccine sputnik these stored at minus 18 degrees c. and developer say that's an advantage compared to other countries vaccines requiring significantly lower temperatures for storage after the injection doctors monitor you for certain minutes before you're free to go to the bone i'm a teacher i think the vaccination is a great way to protect myself and most importantly my relatives my parents all over the 65 was also it's free actually i was initially examined by a doctor he asked if i had any chronic diseases measured my blood pressure looked

at my electronic medical record that i was allowed to undergo the procedure everything was fast was i received that said. saying that they can be one of the 1st for the vaccination i'm so glad and trust the vaccine. yes i had doubts but i've made my decision and i'm here today the vaccine is now being supplied to all corners of the country at the same time the military is receiving sputnik v.t. in russia the covert 1000 job is voluntary and free of charge and even though some people still remain skeptical about the safety and efficiency of the vaccine most agree that large scale explanation is probably the only way now to put an end to the pandemic you leadership of oliver are saying. we spoke with a russian scientist who was among the 1st people to get the job here in moscow he told us how the country was able to start bust vaccination so soon. melissa was successful in developing the platform in the way i understand how it works is that

once you have a platform to share with the antigen to. then changing the tab and egypt is not big deal and this is what a true this explains these high speed of development and actually to meet it as it is a fundamental change is that this is a now just efficient for long term investment into fundamental research in life sense but of course. if i had not have this access to the data from people actually participating in 2 in the 3rd phase of trials it would be more difficult to save all that convinced me personally to take the decision to have a shot now again for each individual it's their will to risk in war and in my case the risk of having. the current owners disease and completions

associated with it is so high that i was looking forward to having this opportunity to sue to get the show. the case also poised to roll out mass vaccination in wales plans have been unveiled to issue special id cards for those getting the job the personal immunization id's will include the maker of the vaccine that received the bats number will be used as a reference a reminder for the 2nd job with guidelines in case there are any side effects however despite officials assuring the public that vaccinations won't be mad to treat the idea plans have made some uneasy and very worried about the system of id cards to be given to those who have had kovacs and wales one step away from mandatory vaccination. if wales doesn't plan to exclude unvaccinated from society why do they need id cards for those who took it i'm definitely no anti vaccine but something about the idea cards wales plans on using is wrong people have free

choice and shouldn't be pressured into doing anything to their bodies they don't want to be efficient overseeing the vaccine in england has admitted that while it's not obligatory there could be societal pressure to have it we discuss the issues raised with a panel of guests. the idea to somehow having a cog that you've been vaccinated is going to be proof that either you will not continue not contagious for other people or that indeed you are immune yourself for a specific period is certainly not realistic i cold see any home the moment of having a certificate or a code as explorer age memoirs or to the fact that you go to get your 2nd that salacious i think we've lost our collective minds with 'd respect to how viruses work we do always return immunity they're granted sometimes it's a natural process and this is how we all get vaccinated by by getting our own t. cells that immunity space stuff and then we can get back to that city with like the

idea that obviously frontline provider should probably be vaccinated 1st the old really the people who are sick but this is survivable illness we keep forgetting that the likelihood of death which is what i really care about as a physician is death is incredibly low to the good largest part is survivability now michael are of course the people who have who really are concerned about at risk groups the more vulnerable people who have been terrified of going outside obscene they need to be protected i know the idea of the greater good test kind of lost its importance and lost its popularity but there are some who would say you know i want we all need to suck it up so that everyone oh of society can live fully again what do you say to those. paul well i mean if you look at the history of such uses of such terms as the common good in the greater good it's doesn't have a very good history let's face it but for the vulnerable where we already are doing

what we need to do to protect them and keep them isolated concentric in a vaccine that we don't know the side effects of and we don't know the the way of even operates other than that it produces proteins that mimic the virus and we don't know what the downsides are of the long term effects that residual concatenation of. a sax that my car occur because of this for a virus that has such a low mortality rate it seems to be quite an extreme measure is the cure worse that it just seems well if we're going to lose our civil liberties over this what are we really treating and americans and we all of the globe need to always push back sides always questions things this is not being a state that's religion this is science we always question what are we doing and what are the results. jonathan sad sad making and i take odds what she wasn't very protests is that necessary and do you think that what they want to see

a strong public pushback on this. well 'd first of all i don't think it is necessary to make it compulsory i think the governments set its face against that already and as you've indicated it's not the british way we don't make these things compulsory but of course as was indicated by one of your other guests i mean if there or indeed by our health minister it may become almost mandatory if you actually want to do certain activities i mean if if some sort of certificate was or vaccination is required then it does become sublimate man and tree and that is a a great concert. pink floyd co-founder roger waters is the latest guest on and he's going underground show he shares his views on the chances of joe biden pardoning whistleblower in chief julian assange and of undoing tom self-styled deal

of the century you can watch the full interview coming up on r.t. throughout the day for now is a preview. dave if trump had been re-elected it would have been worse for everyone in the world but that doesn't make biden a good candidate biden is a dyed in the wool were among grading servant of the oligarchy that rules the united states american will continue to be so for however long he remains president of the united states he's not to be trusted on anything do you think joe biden is going to move the american embassy back to tell the v.a. are you kidding he's made it quite clear that he's the staunchest zionist friend of . of israel that could possibly be in office so he i hope that he and kids start a happy sleeping in that caught that they're going to share for the next few years kiss our. term of 8 or of them having any power under any circumstances

because they are clearly not clear thinkers they clearly don't believe in human rights they clearly have no interest in the law to have no interest in the united nations they have no interest in the geneva conventions they have no interest in any of the things that in near to my heart and to your heart should have been completely impartial you have campaigned for upholding of un security council revolution resolutions all your life you don't expect biden to reverse the trump position on the golan heights the illegal declaration by the united states is going to oppose the un security council resolution making out that it was israeli. no of course not i don't expect him to. reverse any of that nonsense i expect him to absolutely abide by the deal of the century obviously i'm pretty happy that skinny piece of. russian foreign ministry

spokeswoman reza carver has accused the us of political aggression after it called for a moratorium on the construction of the north stream to gas pipeline any russian pipeline no matter where when or how it was constructed a what documents legitimized it has provoked a single reaction from the us for decades political aggression and illegal counter work i would like to tell washington you can just break the rules if you want to be a responsible play in the international economic community you have to abide by the rules you know he said that condoleezza rice in the context of russian guess america's own words have quote out with it despite all the u.s. attempts to stop the project construction of the pipeline re commenced over the weekend permission for work in the german waters of the baltic sea was obtained from the german federal office for shipping in high drug drug free stream to is close to completion with the pipeline 94 percent ready. it is close to completion

there's not much left to do and that is why i think the sanctions are a load of nonsense and i hope that maybe with the election of the new us president biden i hope it will become better and that we won't have such sanctions for sasnett i think 1st and foremost it's an economic enterprise the 2 states russia and germany committed to and the country partners should be allowed to act as they have agreed on i think the madness especially by the us is over the top. with us sanctions on north stream to now include asset freezes say ban on transactions and visa restrictions however right before work restarted the us congress approved a bill that includes expanded sanctions against the pipeline among them restrictions for companies that provide insurance for firms that work with welding equipment to serve an extension of the already existing north stream pipeline which also goes through the baltic sea this will be able to pump 55000000000 cubic meters of natural gas from russia germany every year we spoke to journalist thomas

fassbender about the future of the project under the incoming u.s. administration. as we see today both sides the germans the russians and also the european union they are basically committed to finish this project now it's 94 percent complete it would be simply so silly to. dump almost 10000000000 euros in the in the baltic sea for nothing of course the u.s. also already has u.s. administration. continues to or pressure approach to pressure the participants pressure the government's own wisdom by any it's a very difficult choice the new american president will have to follow if we follow the old policy of office free he says and on the truck going against the project i think very much the opposition to or north stream to is not a pet project of donald trump but it is deeply embedded in the geopolitics of the

u.s. foreign policy establishment on the other side joe biden by really interrupting really boycotting prohibiting that project would load negatively load his relations to europe or not only germany at it at an early stage of his presidency. has accused the united states of revisionism over new green card lottery rules that describe russians living on the korean lands as being japanese that story after the break. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see if.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. the day or thinks. we dare to ask. joe biden be inaugurated in january of next year however will he have a legitimate mandate will the next campaign start when the next president takes office and the neo liberal order is headed back into town will be marriage and.

welcome bunks the u.s. state department has decided that russians living on the islands are in fact japanese at least if its new green card lottery rules ought to be believed moscow is not amused. do you need any more proof that the u.s. business state according to the 1945 decision the crew islands belong to the u.s.s.r. to do it the u.s. state department questions the outcome world war 2 inspiring. russia is furious it says the crew as its territory as it sees the islands back in 1905 or rather the soviet troops but the talk disagrees and it has even prevented the 2 nations from signing a peace deal to formally end the war hostilities so the territorial dispute goes on for 75 years but it seems it's all clear for washington they have no questions this is what the official instruction for the green corridor lottery also known as

diversity visa says persons born in the home of my islands she could land in the cherie and who are chargeable to japan persons born in southern somalia are chargeable to russia that's especially ironic given that most of the japanese citizens were repatriated from these territories after the end of the 2nd world war and today the disease home to around 20000 russians what role if any does america have to play in this well washington has nothing to do with this dispute but it supports japan in this long running problem interesting is that how in the 1st place back in 1945 the soviet union decided to join the operation against japan it signed a deal with the u.s. and the u.k. that in exchange for sending soviet troops there it will get the curls islands so this is the story and here's a short clip for our viewers to better understand the shoe.

ringback the a. well decades of negotiations are behind and it seems that standoff is still there but there is also hope shortly after taking office in september a newly elected japanese prime minister discussed the disputed islands over the phone with russia's president vladimir putin after that we heard ian repeatedly saying that he hopes to finally find a solution and finally sign

a peace deal. vice president of the eurasia center says that the u.s. is trying to disrupt talks between moscow tokyo. i think what we're seeing here is the u.s. . interfering or basically. injecting itself into foreign policy that is going in for discussions that are going on between japan and russia in a way they're disrupting the ongoing negotiations i mean i'm sure that if you ask the people that live there what citizen they are from i understand there's a huge percentage of ethnic ukrainians and ethnic russians that live there and i'm sure they would say russian. regardless of what the united states says you know i find it difficult that any country can decide what citizenship some other country's citizens are but that is this seems to be the case that situated right now and i think the greater the greater objective here is to disrupt negotiations that are on

underway. time magazine has taken all the unusual approach to its traditional person of the year cover this year put 2020 on the front claiming it was the worse yet but some of questioned whether it's really being that but ati saskia tayla takes a closer look. 2020 not exactly a time travelers topic yes it was challenging yes it was wet and yes it felt and less but according to time magazine 2020 blue other rotten years out of the park for time it was the wost year. there have been worse here sheen yes history and said new or serious new world history but most of us in large today have seen nothing like this one if 2020 were dystopian movie you'd probably turn it off after 20 minutes and even got the red

cross of death on it you certainly 4 times before in the publications history when hitler died when the iraq war started and went to al qaeda needs is what killed probably leaving 2020 asking how it found itself in such blood stained company trump lost an election and insisted he hadn't more gaslighting but at least we're having some success topping up devolve that submitting the fuse while at least they put a positive spin on but now if you're american you might think a contested election is the was thing out. to you i want to wind back to how people reacted when the star of the apprentice won the white house hillary clinton has called donald trump to concede the race so i decided not to try out what you just say to me in my ear yes a.b.c. news is project oh boy it took florida was. such that i mean this is just really the beginning of the end for hillary clinton's campaign. this was

a white against a change in country it was a whitewash against a black president if this morning you finally woke up from a coma well you might want to go back to the. me. so with a meltdown over an election is one reason 2020 made time i would say. it's a tie with 2016 although of course the magazine couldn't pass up the is public enemy number one the coronavirus does not positive spin here pandemics take lives and change others for coverage 19 is no exception but it's also not unique despondence flu took 50000000 lives to buc ulos has killed 1400000 last year alone humanity has weathered these kinds of storms before and on much more lethal scales but for a time it wasn't just about the the malicious mutating virus so no helplessness met

its evil twin a partner in crime that would only magnify its mad power isolation that began in march the onset of a period in which most of us felt incased in the globes looking out at the world that seem to be falling apart never mind the people fleeing their homes in war zones the soldiers dreaming over night in the own beds those few months of snow globe netflix and chill with just the wost want they were the homes and malibu budding against which the 2004 tsunami of the haiti earthquake just pale in comparison apparently because just like the humanitarian disaster in yemen starving children it does. i mean rivaling slave trade in libya this all happened very far away from time snowglobe and that's not gone unnoticed by some of those people trapped in the own lonely little boy. worst cover ever. honestly guys i think you should open your history books way worse things happened

and even recent history without forgetting some countries where life is hell every day of their existence not just a couple of years it's funny how this generation think sitting at home watching netflix is the worst year ever 2020 is probably flipping through the history books spanning wild wars civil wars paul graham's the black death the holocaust atomic bombs famines genocide slavery i'm perhaps feeling just a toll hard done by. it's run of some of the global news for you now starting in florida space x. is updated dragon cargo ship successfully blasted off to the international space station it's the company's 21st release and why mission the 1st one under a follow on nasa contract the ship is carrying almost 3 tons of supplies. elsewhere drone footage is shown the scale of flooding in northern italy to wrench will rain cause the panaro river to burst its banks leaving large swathes of land under water

rescues all using dingus to help evacuate people from the area. there has been a huge fire at a part of technique facility in the russian city of rough stuff follow it exploded resulting in a large fire that has been subsequently brought under control initial reports suggest that there were no. i will leave with a bang thanks so much for your company throughout the morning and early afternoon here in r.t. international. when else seems wrong. just don't call. me. yet to shape out this day become active. and engaged because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look

for common ground. imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century what are the chapters called gun violence school shootings. first it was my job it was my bill it was my savings i have nothing i have nothing there's no record of aloof or resources i look for jobs i look for everything i can to make this house. in oil of doing this. the road to the american dream paved with did refute. this very idealized. americans look past the debts that happen every single day this is a history of the usa america. i'm

afshin rattansi we're going underground 24 hours ahead of the u.s. presidential election deadline for lawsuits and final results in states already aligned with joe biden as the sun sets on an administration with more covert deaths than lives lost in world war one coming up in the show after another assassination withering in official we investigate iran's so-called shadow commander who worked with u.s. troops to rid the middle east of al qaeda and i said only to be assassinated by donald trump in a state sponsored murder that to this day goes on condemned by britain and the european union and rock royalty roger waters talks of future of imperialism under president biden from latin america to palestine through the prism of the crimes revealed by julian assange all the more coming up in today's going on the ground

1st unlike us president obama donald trump has been likely to finish his time as u.s. president without starting any new wars that's despite new york time sources claiming he wanted to bomb middle east oil superpower iran after the defeat of the. polls he doesn't recognize nevertheless before the killing of iranian scientists most and factories are there in the past few days came trumps assassination of iranian soldier customs in a money credited with coordinating with u.s. troops to defeat i stash and al qaeda as reporters have documents pertaining to an iran saudi arabia peace deal when he was murdered joining me now from new york in the usa is the biographer of shadow come on to customers for their money as easy irish thanks so much for coming on before we get to the shadow commander what have you made of the fact that you. said it was criminal but didn't actually came out even condemn the assassination of this iranian professor most and. i think the last 4 years we've seen the e.u. has really struggled to abandon that but the policy of the united states regard to iran frankly so you know i guess they're just they're also waiting for biden to

come in but i mean the assassination was.
