i mean different feeling is being fulfilled here if things like this particular line produces things 1000 how they think she sounds and say this is the. party visits one of the senses producing rushes. the jabs at us the capital moscow begins a mass vaccination program meanwhile some parts of the u.k. reveal plans immunization id cards prompting fear is that getting a coded vaccination although not obligatory will become all but avoid on the voidable we get reaction. if some sort of certificate summation is required then it does become subliminally free is the cure worse than a disease what if we're going to lose our civil liberties over this what are we really trying to get and we think exclusively to the pink floyd founder roger

waters he explains why the result of the us election was always going to be disappointing they've been reelected it would have been worse for everyone in the world but that doesn't make a good candidate. even just 5 o'clock here in the russian capital watching r.t. international now moscow has become the 1st russian city to begin mass kovi vaccinations countries but if the job is being made available to the public free of charge front line workers will be the 1st to get the vaccine hand this includes hospital and school staff there's also an age limit for the moment with only be on the sixty's currently qualifying russia's daily infection rate has spiraled to around 29000 and the numbers have been steadily rising since early september here shop of oliver visited one of the centers that makes the sputnik jap. we had to

fight a car company if a fetus was surprised if that's received by the government she's free she's the 1st registered spic recurrent of our respect to see if mass production has already started here that's akin to sputnik the is a too short adenovirus based effects of x. seen the difference between sputnik v. and some other international coded 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 infect or to does is said as a vehicle for corona virus proteins over 3 weeks a patient receives to 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 feel 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 they said. before taking a coronavirus vaccination everyone is examined to make sure they're healthy that 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 debunk i'm a teacher i think the vaccination is a great way to protect myself and most importantly my relatives my parents are already 65 was also it's freaking much and 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 tours 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 to russian scientists he was among the 1st to get the job in moscow and he told us how the country was able to start the vaccination program. melissa was successful in developing that 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 and a lot of 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 who will talk for risk and work in my case the risk of having. the current wires he sees and completions associated with that is so high that i was looking forward to doing this

opportunity to sue to get the show. for the u.k. is also about to start mass vaccinations and in wales plans have been unveiled tell you to issue special id cards for their use getting the jab at the personal immunization id's will have the name of the vaccine manufacturer the data is given and the badge number and we're also be used as 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 made mandatory the id plans have made some people 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 while the official overseeing the vaccine rollout in england is method that while it's not obligatory there could be societal pressure to have it we discuss the issue with a panel of guests. the idea to somehow having a cold that you've been vaccinated is going to be proof that either you will not continue not contagious for other people ringback or that indeed you are immune yourself for a specific period is certainly not realistic i cold see any harm at the moment of having a certificate or a colored as explorer aide memoire as well so the fact that you go to get your seconds 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 vaccinating with like

the idea that obviously frontline provider should probably be vaccinated 1st the out early 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 consigned all that risk groups the more vulnerable people who have been terrified of going outside absi 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 funny again want to say to those people 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 to keep them isolated concentric on

a vaccine that we don't know the side effects of and we don't know the you know the way to even operate under them that it produces proteins that mimic the bat virus and we don't know what the down. it's our long term affects the residual our concatenation of. the fact that my current term 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 of disease we're going to lose our civil liberties over this what are we really treating and americans and we all and 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 end results boris johnson said making an id card why she wasn't very protests is that necessary and do you think that we're going to see really

strong public pushback on this well 1st of all i don't think it is necessary to make it compulsory i think the government's 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 'd indeed by health minister it may become almost mandatory if you actually want to do certain activities i mean if if some sort of certificate was real vaccination is required then it does become sublimate and tree of knowledge is a great concert. i think coronavirus and he had a devastating impact on the world and time magazine his knife said that 2020 was in fact the worst thing ever but is that really the case takes him. 2020 not exactly a time travelers topic yes it was challenging yes it was well it and yes it felt

and less but according to time magazine 2020 blue there are often 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 they took florida with. such 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 perfect 19 is no exception but it's also not unique the spanish 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 manpower isolation that began in march the onset of a period in which most of us felt incased in the globe's looking at a world that seemed 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 eating dirt. and young 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 our own lonely little boy. worst cover ever. honestly guys i think you should open your history books way worse things happen than 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 pogroms the black death the holocaust atomic bombs famines genocide slavery and perhaps feeling just

a toll hard done by. the co-founder of pink floyd roger waters is the latest guest in artie's going underground this weekend shares his views on the chance of joe biden pardoning the whistleblower cheeriness onj and also scrapping trump's so-called deal of the century for the middle east well the full interview will be aired here throughout the day but here's a quick taste of what was said. 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 it's 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 vague are you kidding he's made it quite clear that he's the storm is 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 kids are as their mother ager 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 i'm completely impartial you have campaigned for upholding of un security council resolution 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 into opposing un security council resolution making out that it was israeli now of course not i

don't expect him to. reverse any of that nonsense i expect him to absolute they abide by the deal of the century obviously i'm pretty happy that skinny piece of. no. longer in the white house pretending to film foreign policy for the middle east. so to come here this hour we look into the latest on the north stream to gas pipeline a mosque calling out the u.s. for mounting political pressure on the project that story plus others just after the break.

join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

again you're watching out international now in a case that has spanned multiple countries and russian national alexander finnick has been sentenced to a 5 year jail term in france and fined 100000 euro he was originally arrested on a us warranting increase 3 years ago over suspected cyber crimes however his time in detention has been marred by claims of rights violations and his case becoming politicized let's get more from michael so that joins us now and he's following the story closely you know man just run through some of the background then a more details on exactly what vinick has been accused of well the story has been taken place since the summer of when c. 17. then they was arrested in greece on a u.s. charge but right now we're talking about france where he was indicted on charges of

extortion money laundering and conspiracy now it's hard to say whether he'll spend the entire term of 5 years behind bars in france because the united states want his extradition to their soil for alleged illegal long bring at least $4000000000.00 worth of bitcoin cryptocurrency now vinick says french lawyers after the verdict on monday they maintain that say is innocence and all the accusations the charges against him the evidence is weak now vinick was originally detained increase in the summer 2017 on request of the us work using like i said of one bring $4000000000.00 worth of cryptocurrency competing requests from the united states from france and from russia as well. well where he is also accused of fraud the greek court back the extradition to the united states now russian foreign

ministry at the time they said that the decision by the record violates international law and they express hope that the decision will be overturned in higher courts so out through that they agree courts decided to extradite vinick to france and his lawyer at the time said that then he denies all of the allegations and he began. a hunger strike that lasted for at least 80 days now i interviewed said xander vinick wife a couple of times once in greece and here in russia as well and she said that the experience has taken a toll on her health and on the health of her husband as well let's have a listen. think of that our life will never be the same again at my hand the moment he was snatched away that very 2nd everything changed i will never leave like we used to i'm here being treated thought he's there on hunger strike when our children are the worst affected they're waiting with they don't know what the

future how which one of us will come back and when it's hard for them to handle this they're young and don't fully understand everything that's going on. no of the xander of an ex-wife also said of members occasions that the united states wants her husband for his intellect and not for the alleged crimes that he had committed meanwhile once again it's still not certain whether alexander vinick will spend the entire 5 year serve behind bars in france because once again his extradition is demanded by the united states so it will take a look at what's going on. sure ok thank you man i was thrown in course of there with the latest on that story. now the russian foreign ministry has accused the u.s. of political aggression over mounting pressure on the north stream to gas pipeline is what the spokeswoman there is a cut over to say any russian pipeline no matter where when 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 player 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. well despite all the u.s. attempts to stop the project construction of the pipeline actually restarted over the weekend permission for work in the german waters of the baltic sea was obtained from the german federal office of shipping and hydrography and it means that north 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 certainly i think 1st and foremost it's an economic enterprise the 2 states

russia and germany committed to and the conflict partners should be allowed to act as they have agreed on i think the mandolin especially by the us is over the top. what a present u.s. sanctions nor trying to do include asset freezes a ban on transactions and also these restrictions to you however right before work we started last weekend the u.s. congress did approve a bill that includes expanded sanctions against the pipeline they do range from measures against companies providing insurance to firms that provide the equipment . is an extension of the already existing north stream part in the north stream pipeline which also goes through the baltic sea it will be able to pump 55000000000 cubic meters of natural gas from russia to germany every year so what about its future then under a new joe biden administration we got the views of journalist thomas spend. as we

speak 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 silly to. dump almost 10000000000 euro in the baltic sea for nothing but of course the u.s. authorities u.s. administration. continues to pressure approach to pressure the participants version of the government's boozed up by an it's a very difficult choice the new american president will have to follow it really follow the old policy of his previous estimate 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 relate. chanst to europe or not already to germany at an early stage of his presidency. now the united states has released a report from the possible causes of so-called have an a syndrome which calls u.s. officials based in cuba and china to feel unwell although the report didn't say he was responsible the media were quick to point fingers.

some cia analysts experts diplomats and scientists contend good evidence points to moscow which has a long history of experimenting with the technology a source familiar with the told n.b.c. news the cia had determined that some russian intelligence agency to look weapons programs were present in the same cities at the same time that cia offices suffered a mysterious symptoms.

more stories in the headlines. seem wrong. to shape our. trail. find themselves worlds apart.

hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered on peter lavelle joe biden may indeed 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 new liberal order is headed back into power what will be their agenda. to discuss this and more i'm joined by my guest george samueli in budapest he is an author and a youtube or at the gavel and here in moscow we crossed

a maxine he is an expert at the russian international affairs council originally crossed out rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i was appreciate it ok let's go to georgia in budapest. and looking at the election results or how the election results are being presented to the to the public and the world's here i can't help but get the feeling that if this had happened in any other country in the world the united states would have stepped in or made a lot of noise about democratic norms and demanding a recount and all of this kind of thing here but they don't because it's happening to themselves you know it's just an interesting critique about how democracy is spoken about and practiced in the united states and how it's spoken about and practiced internationally go ahead george yeah that would be right because everything that is normal life since the election although it's.
