11:00 am
behind me if i feel is being vocal here if things like this particular line produces things sounds and talks about how they think this is sounding so this is. coming up we visit one of the senses producing russia sputnik the. capital moscow begins a mass vaccination program meanwhile some parts of the u.k. reveal plans for immunization id cards prompting fears that getting a vaccination although not obligatory will become almost unavoidable we get reaction. if some sort of certificate vaccination is required and then it does become supplement free sure we're. going to lose our civil liberties over this what are we really trying to get full so to come up we speak to roger
11:01 am
waters the co-founder of the pop group pink floyd he explains why the results of us election tend to be disappointing. they've been re-elected it would have been worse for everyone in the world but that doesn't make biden a good candidate. for you watching r.t. international moscow has become the 1st russian city to begin a maskaev vaccination program the country sputnik the jab is being made available to the public free of charge front line workers will be the 1st to get the vaccine this does include hospital and school staff although 1st only those under the age of 60 will receive it now russia's daily infection rate has reached around $29000.00 numbers have been steadily rising since early september so it is hoped
11:02 am
that the vaccine will slow its spread. visited one of the centers that makes the sputnik jap. we have to buy a car company it's a fetus but it's worth it and surprise is that it's received by cutting the government she's pretty she's precious 1st registered spic take the current of our respect see if my production has already started here that's a good sputnik the is a too short adenovirus based backs of exene 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 production 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
11:03 am
vaccines as opposed to one in every way i am a different scene is being fulfilled here that it's not this particular line for jay says $6000.00 souls but our meeting says he's thousands so this is per hour as each bottle containing 5 days is called by few minutes to be boxing they 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 30 minutes before you're free to go to the pond 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 much and you're pushed i was initially examined by a doctor he asked if i had any chronic diseases measured my blood pressure and
11:04 am
looked at my electronic medical record that i was allowed to undergo the procedure everything was fast or worse i received the tags. saying that i can be one of the 1st for the vaccination i'm so glad and trust the vaccine in the shadows to me oh 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 co the $1000.00 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 vaccination is probably the only way now to put an end to the pandemic you leadership of all of us are saying. well we spoke to russian scientists he was among the 1st to receive the job in moscow he told us how the country was able to start the vaccination program. center was successful in developing the platform in the way i understand how it works is that once you have
11:05 am
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 scientists this is a now just a few who are long term investments into fundamental research and life sentence 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 say all that convinced me personally to take the decision to have a shot now again for each individual it's their will to free skin in my case the risk of having. only occurring wires he sees and completions
11:06 am
associated with that is so high that i was looking forward to getting this opportunity to get the shot. for the u.k. is also about to start mass vaccinations and in wales there are plans to do to issue special id cards for those getting the jab the personal immunization ids will have the name of the vaccine manufacturer the date it was given and also the batch number and it will also be used to as a reminder for the 2nd job with guidelines in case there are any side effects however despite officials insisting the vaccinations won't be mandatory the idea plans have made some people feel 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
11:07 am
choice and shouldn't be pressured into doing anything to their bodies they don't want to be official overseeing the vaccine rollout in england has admitted that while it's not obligatory there could be societal pressure to have it we discuss the issue with a panel of guests. we've had to carry certificates call but fax nation things like this you know paul sport so before a certain diseases so that's not new but i do understand the issues about civil liberties and i think there's increasing concern around the world that the condemn make is being used as an excuse by some governments to increase the surveillance and to increase anti libertarian issues and of course once you take away civil liberties it's very difficult to get them 'd restored i think we've lost our collective minds with 'd respect to how viruses work in the united states we had 80000 deaths from just the flu 10 years ago with the swine flu it was 125000
11:08 am
americans killed and we did nothing we do always return immunity they're granted sometimes it's a natural process and this is how we all get vaccinated obviously front line provider should probably be vaccinated for the overly the people who are sick but this is survivable illness we keep forgetting that the likelihood of death is incredibly low to the good largest part is survivability increasing the institutions and others will want to see some sort of proof that you have been immunized in order to enable you to do certain things then it does become an sublimate and trait that not just a a great concert there is going to be a significant proportion of the american population that is going to see it as an arbitrary imposition of a and if i'm an agenda of enforcing the vaccine by virtue of you know not being
11:09 am
able to enter a store not being able to fly not to being able to enter a drop location any number of activities could be proscribed but this could bring things to a head in this country i can't see any harm at the moment of having a certificate or a colored as a class or a. aide memoire as it were to the fact that you've got to get your seconds that sensational or to have a record of the actual type of the antivirus that you've received it's a fitting dividing line those where it goes after that what do we do for those people who already have natural immunity for everyone that's been identified there are probably 3 or 4 that already had this virus infected had very minimal symptoms and they're having a body so they don't need a back seat so i understand that point but i think there are 2 big questions that have to be asked about all these scenes on the side and i'm not an epidemiologist but the 1st one is does the vaccine actually give you
11:10 am
a permanent immunity or will you have to go 'd back and get further injections 2nd one of course is that it may actually give you personally immunity but does it actually stop being spread of the florist's to other people i think the jury's out on that in many of these these cases 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 this is usually the friendly front face of totalitarianism but for the vulnerable where we already are doing what we need to do to protect them to keep them isolated and so trip on a vaccine that we don't know the side effects of and we don't know the long term effects the residual concatenation of the fact that my 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
11:11 am
it just seems well if we're going to lose our civil liberties over this what are we really treating americans and we all in 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. now the current of our society had a devastating impact on the world and time magazine does believe that 2020 was in fact the worst ever but is that we need the case. take some. 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
11:12 am
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 as 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 to evolve that submitting the fumes while at least they put a positive spin on but no if you're american you might think a contested election is the wost thing out. to you i want to wind back to how people reacted when the star of the apprentice won the white house delivery 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 writes. this i mean this is just really the
11:13 am
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 mode for 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 the spanish flu took 50000000 lives to buckelew says killed 1400000 last year alone humanity has weathered these kinds of storms before and on much more lethal scales
11:14 am
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 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 of a 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 not so long gone unnoticed by some of those people trapped in the own lonely little boy.
11:15 am
worst cover ever. honestly guys i think you should open your history books where you 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 pogroms the black death the holocaust atomic bombs famines genocide slavery and perhaps feeling just a little hard done by. taylor there now the co-founder of pink floyd roger waters is the latest guest an artist going underground this week he shares his views on the chances of joe biden pardoning whistleblower and also scrapping trump's so-called deal of the century for the middle east the full interview will be aired throughout the day but here's a quick taste of what was said. if trump had been re-elected it would have been
11:16 am
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 storm is zionist friend of. of israel that could possibly be in office so 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 as a 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
11:17 am
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 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. dog poop who. are is no longer in the white house pretending to form foreign policy for the middle east. now in
11:18 am
a case that spanned multiple countries and years to russian national alexander vinick has been sentenced to a 5 year jail term in france and fined 100000 euro he was originally arrested honey u.s. warrants increased 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 or my cause that it has more details. now in france alexander vinick was indicted on charges of extortion money laundering and conspiracy it's hard to say whether he will spend the entire 5 year term behind bars in france because the united states also demand his extradition to their soil where he is accused of $4000000000.00 worth of money laundering in bitcoin cryptocurrency now the next french laura maintains that his client is completely innocent and the evidence against him is weak let's take a listen so you don't think it's important to mention that a number of charges were dropped he was originally facing 14 the court said it
11:19 am
based its decision on some of the things that had been found on his computer it's a tough verdict he was sentenced to 5 years on the basis of things that cannot be proven false things sent by the americans by your apology we will definitely appeal this but it was originally detained in the summer of 2017 while he was on vacation in greece with his family now that was done on request from the united states now following computer requests from the united states from france and from russia where he is also accused of fraud the greek or its decided in favor of extradition to the united states however russian foreign ministry at that time said that they decision by the greek order violates international law and then greece decided to extradite the man to friends now his lawyer that science said that then it denies all allegations against him and that sign he spent 80 days on or hunger strike now i interviewed the next wife on
11:20 am
a couple of occasions so once in russia once in greece where he was detained and he said that this entire ordeal took a toll on his health and hers as well. that our life will never be the same again at one and the moment he was snatched away that very 2nd everything changed i will never leave like we. are here being treated thought he's there on hunger strike when our children are the. the fact is they're waiting but they don't know where the future holds 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 within excel wife said also on multiple occasions that the united states won her husband for his 2nd call knowledge not for the crimes that he allegedly committed meanwhile it's still not clear whether vinick will spend the entire 5 years behind bars in france as he is wanted by the united states as well.
11:21 am
the russian foreign ministry has accused the u.s. of political aggression over mounting pressure on the north stream to gas pipeline here's what the spokeswoman there is a cover 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 or despite all the u.s. attempts to stop the project construction of the pipeline actually restarted over the weekend of the mission for work in the german waters off the baltic sea was obtained from the german federal office for shipping and hydrography and it means that north stream too was almost finished with the pipeline 94 percent ready. it is
11:22 am
close to completion that 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 madly especially by the us is over the top well at present u.s. sanctions on north stream to do include asset freezes a ban on transactions and also these are restrictions however right before work started last weekend the us congress did approve a bill that includes expanded sanctions against the pipeline and they do range from measures against companies providing insurance to firms that provide the equipment . is an extension of the already existing old stream pipeline which also goes through the baltic sea it will be able to pump 55000000000 cubic meters of natural
11:23 am
gas from russia to germany every year so what about its future then we got the views of journalist thomas fassbender. 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 but 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 it will be 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
11:24 am
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 a at an early stage of his presidency. meanwhile the u.s. state department has decided that russians living on the koran and are in fact japanese that's according to new rules for its green card lottery a moscow hazan to me still. do you need any more proof that the us is a religionist state according to the 945 decision the crew islands belong to the u.s.s.r. today the us state department questions the outcome of world war 2 inspiring russia is furious it says the crew as its territory as it sees the islands back in 1905
11:25 am
or rather the soviet troops but talk it disagrees and 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 ok for washington they have no questions this is what the official instruction for green corridor lottery also known as diversity visa says persons born in the one line islands she could can assure ian at a row who are charitable to japan persons born in south are civilian 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 island is home to around $20000.00 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 and this long running problem interesting is that how in the 1st place back
11:26 am
in 1945 the soviet union decided to join the operation against japan it signed a deal with the us and the u.k. that in exchange for sending soviet troops there it will get the colonel's silence so this is the story and here's a short clip for our viewers to better understand the issue.
11:27 am
well decades of the game changers now behind the scenes that standoff is still there but there is also help shortly after taking office in september a newly elected japanese prime minister discussed the disputed islands over the phone with the russia's president vladimir putin after that we heard ian repeatedly saying that he had to finally find a solution and fire lee sign a peace deal will resume since the 2nd vice president of iraq you sent a he says the u.s. is trying to disrupt talks between moscow and taqiyya i think what we're seeing here is the u.s. interfering or basically. injecting itself into foreign policy that is going into war and 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 for my understand there's
11:28 am
a huge percentage of ethnic ukrainians and ethnic russians that live there and i'm sure they would say russia. 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 the pitcher right now and i think the greater the greater objective here is to disrupt the negotiations that are on underway just approaching haha 7 evening here in moscow it's nice to have the company will be back with more stories on the headlines in just a. but the pandemic no certainly no borders and just bought into nationalities.
11:29 am
has emerged we caught up with the we don't have the facts in the whole world needs to be. judging. commentary classes please mr. we can do better we should. everyone is contributing each or own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created the response has been masked so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. joe biden they indeed be inaugurated in january of next year for whatever will you have a legitimate mandate will the next campaign start when the next president. and the
11:30 am
new liberal order is headed it will be marriage and. 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 debts 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 i don't need 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 the future of imperialism under president biden from latin america to palace.
