when the next president. and the new liberal is dead it could. be near egypt. seems wrong. to me. yet to stamp out the state becomes active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. behind me different scene is being told here if things are not going off on the program we visit a test center that's ready to produce russia's sputnik the feed. begins and months fox nation through. we speak roger waters the co-founder of legendary

rock group pink floyd as well he tells us why he believes the result of the u.s. election was always going to be disappointing. had been reelected it would have been worse for everyone in the world but that doesn't make good candidate. russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman brown's u.s. attempts to prevent the construction of a north stream to get pipeline quote another poetical impression. on minute after 10 pm here in moscow this monday december the 7th welcome wherever you're catching us from this hour i'm you know neal. become the 1st russian city to begin a mass covert vaccination program because 3 sputnik job is being made available to

the public free of charge front line workers which include hospital school stuff will be the 1st to get the vaccine although at 1st only those under the age of 60 will receive it. were issues dealy infection rates. in $29.00 thaws and cases the numbers have been steadily rising since september so it's hoped the vaccine is going to slow the spread artie's yuliya. this is a company that's readying test batches for mass production. we are the car company it's a fetus in every way i mean the famous being told here that it's being bought this particular line for jay says $6000.00 but our sputnik the is a too short adenovirus based vax a vaccine the difference between sputnik vi 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 serve as a vehicle for coronavirus proteins over 3 weeks a patient receives 2 different jobs to form antibodies and disease resistance before taking a coronavirus oxidation 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. 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 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 for us i received the text saying that i can be one of the 1st for the vaccination i'm so glad and i trust the vaccine in this matter to me 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 $1000.00 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 oxidation is probably the only way now to put an end to the pandemic. well we spoke to a russian scientist who was among the 1st to receive a job in moscow he told us more about the vaccine and why he decided to get it. melissa was successful in developing the platform in the way i understand how it works is that once you have a platform to carry 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 scientist this is in. just a few patients who are long term investments into fundamental research in life science but of course. if i had not have this access to the data from people actually participating in to in the 3rd phase of clinical 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 the weight of risk and reward in my case the risk of having. current owners disease and completions associated with that is so high that i was looking forward to having this

opportunity to to get this from. the co-founder of pink floyd roger waters is the latest guest on our team is going underground we got his view on the president elect of the united states the full interview will be aired here throughout the day just for although here's a snippet. 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 grating 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 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 their mother out either 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 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 is going to oppose the 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. there is no longer in the white house pretending to form foreign policy for the middle east. the russian foreign ministry has accused the us of political aggression over mounting pressure on the nord stream to gas pipeline let's take a listen to what a spokeswoman re at the heart of the city 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 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 the spine of the american attends to

stop the project construction of the pipeline actually restarted over the weekend permission for work in the german waters of the baltic sea it was obtained from the german federal office for shipping and hydrography and that means north stream 2 is almost finished 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 come to prize 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 madness especially by the us is over the top. well present u.s. sanctions on north stream to include asset freezes on transactions and also visa restrictions however right before work restarted last weekend u.s.

congress approved a bill that includes expanded sanctions against the pipeline they range from measures against companies providing insurance to firms that provide all the equipment just to go through a door trim too is an extension of the already existing nord 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 from where it will continue on to other european nations so what about its future we've got the views of journalist thomas fassbender on the. 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 baltic sea for nothing but of course

the u.s. authorities u.s. administration. continues to or pressure approach to pressure the participants pressure the government's own wisdom by 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 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 and not only germany at it at an early stage of his presidency. most nations all around the world

battle to turn the tide of what's being described as a 2nd we have a covert 19 right now experts are warning we're in for a tough start to 2021 today we could still see a very severe peak particularly i think probably in january is when i predict there would be most likely if we take our foot off the pedal on this 3rd wave a sponsible but it's also preventable so we don't have to wade through it again we mustn't with the mistakes of the summit by not wasting time in listening to those who speak loudly about these untruths that another outbreak is impossible. to give an example in the u.k. france germany as well. is beginning to plot after various lock downs and restrictions were applied to the public and were very german chancellor angela merkel feels they may be insufficient when we look back on them relying on who point to help us this is usually is getting very serious these measures will not be

enough to get us through the winter. just a sense of the picture away from europe israel for instance may be facing a 3rd locked on with infection numbers still on the rise there the prime minister has promised that the country won't hesitate to return to full restrictions well to discuss a so named 3rd. i'm joined by a number of guests on the program and that is a veritable who's who it's great to have you all peter all from the american institute for economic research also biomedicine lecturer dr mohammad near her psychology professor and founding director of evolutionary studies at new york state university we kick off with you i think when i was going through the talk of a 3rd wave i heard a collective sigh from the public people people are generally fête up aren't they we've barely reached a plateau in this 2nd wave should the focus not be more in battling the disease not

trying to break it instead of the what ifs of a 3rd wave. yeah i mean it's obviously a brand new novel situation that we're all having to deal with i say that 1st and foremost we've got to do what's best in terms of the public health issue. you know this is just a major public health issue i have a virus myself earlier and several months ago my daughter had it you know i think a lot of muscle around the world added or no people know people who die so a 3rd wave coming is always the absolutely frightening and i do think that it's wearing on us as humans as individuals but on the other hand we've got to let the experts really drive this and see this to an end so that we can really get oscillation as we know it mohamed with their people likely to let their guard done over the festive season which has begun are you predicting a return to lockdown in the early months of next year. well the fact is that we

still have false 'd people in the community sucking bill to the infection and. actually sauce to watch us we're not really care whether it's a christmas or either or any of that any time that others will get the chance to come across susceptible population explanation fact that is going to me likely happen because of the mixing we will be seen getting the christmas song and what we are seeing is a line we definitely have a great progress on the last 4 weeks of the lockdown we put that number of cases 40 percent that is incredible at the same time the vast majority of people getting into the population are going to bring the violence back into. communities which will be likely to see in general effectively as the number of cases start let me go . peter talk of a 3rd wave might dump in spirits but just how important is it for businesses to get at least some of their seasonal trade in because you hear many stories of

businesses having a tough year on the mic they make it back almost on a good christmas a good new year if that's not here there's businesses that are going to close and they don't care too much about a 3rd 'd wave or talk of it. right and that's a it's a huge problem and by take on this whole thing has been especially since the talk of the 3rd began is that it's astonishing that the base models have predicted all these oculus dictionary that led to the policy movement ations including the cold npr's non-pharmaceutical interventions are still being trusted we've got tremendous traditions may we uns it's. starts with economic cost and yet none of the. predictions that are made in terms of disease. bankruptcy's we've got tons of unemployment i mean. it's going to i would hope that

this 3rd time we might do something close to focus protection let people work. but we tell people we're going we who have co-morbidities they want. your or. glen kind of focus on a 3rd wave make people think twice before taking risks this month to your family you say has been affected do you think it's a tactic to keep people in doors as a way not only that but partly that sure i mean if if to some extent. this is a scare tactic to be honest i would be completely supportive of it you know human behavior is incredibly hard to motivate several of us living in countries a very sort of loose libertarian approaches to things and you don't think that's grossly unethical to do. well i don't think it's necessarily intentional that that's i guess what i'd say i'd say that if there's talk of

a 3rd wave if there's some sort of like unconscious knowledge who are really just trying to sort of get people to you know stay home only to follow the guidelines with the idea of protecting public health and reducing spread of the virus. you know i i i would not be against that let's just bring peter in peter do you expect people to follow the health advice just to just him what glenn was going through there with this small business bigger business as well now on the on the brink of collapse and what's really interesting here is that what many left and many left leaning politicians said all along which is that business is getting more concentrated that there's a widening gap between rich the poor and. the rising tide is not lifting all boats back to being accomplished by the law so we have bigger companies getting bigger or smaller companies going out of business the gap is widening people who are taking. the brunt of lockdowns are the core are single moms their people their kids are

getting your people who could least afford them let's not forget this is when you're not totally you don't have co-morbidities has a great job that 99 percent chance of surviving i mean that who tells me that. there's a reaction to the locked arms that's been probably hasn't been strong up the back that people are giving probably should be stronger this is this is just a policy error on my view on par with the. any other other recent. mohamed december january time was when we 1st started really to discover what the virus was all of the pandemic intensified into the summer enough again are we facing the same scenario in 2021 do you think this is going to be a pattern. i think 2020 want to be different than what we have somebody generally in 2020 primarily because we are seeing the vaccine coming into the into the human

arms and of course it would take a little bit of time before to get into the general public to achieve the herd immunity so that we can but it's also a changing of the virus but because of the vaccine to inject what you wanted will be different and certainly one thing that allowed to highlight here is that just because of the intermixing during the christmas time. push into into time when we are going to see the influenza virus as mobile as a lot of the time getting ready for hillary so i think it is certainly more time to really follow all the distractions that have been put in place to ensure that we have a little more handle on the virus before the vaccine get it when it is quite widely glenn one of the stories we've been doing today is the talk of an id for people who . the vaccine. business is or lines. their c.e.o.'s are saying that maybe we're going to take it into our own hands and decide who can come in whether or not that agrees with state guidelines are you in

are you in support of of ideas like thoughts for somebody to have to have a vaccine to get certain privileges compared to what everybody could have in the past now that some people get them and some won't. sure you know generally speaking and i think a lot of people in the united states feel that's why i like my free you know my way to be able to do what i want and i curred others to follow their own paths but this is a different situation this is a major health related issue you know lives are on the law and i'm not sure the statistic that peter was talking about about you know almost everyone who's you know doesn't have a co-morbidity of being in fine with this that's not the data and i'm saying i certainly know a lot of people my age who have not lived after having been infected so i think that any steps that can really reduce the spread of this in toll just like mom i'm saying once the back scene is why we destroy distributed and that is on the horizon

and we all know that you know told and i think any steps that we can all take that we're capable of going to reduce the spread will save lives and i'm you know i feel like it's up to all of us to support that ok we're just going to wrap up but to get your final thoughts and i will try and wind in another aspect starting with muhammad we've heard defining moments in the past 911 the big one you know it changed the airline industry forever is cold but one thing one of those moments are some of the strange things we're being asked and forced to do know are they going to become a staple of our lives is this the new normal. i think colin nineteenth's not he was going to change so many sectors and particularly speaking one to the scientific perspective is going to false form the whole of biomedical research in many ways for instance having 10 years to for the vaccine development get into one you know certainly possible with a high level of efficiency so what are looking into

a radiated level of course from agent in the scientific community into the biomedical research for that and that will pay to your final thought. my final thought is that this is extremely. noteworthy it's a real turning point for human liberty and for human interaction we have lockdown to live in poverty hundreds of millions per hour to. show or even substance abuse destroy supply chains all or disease that has a 99 percent recovery rate for people who are not elderly and you don't know more than one quarter. i mean look at the statistics i think a lot of this is just absolutely present and i think i think the very thing is that records are made you. want to really look at all it's backed by risk. glenn any room for optimism in 2021 share i think there's a lot of room for optimism i think backs vaccines are on the rise i think what muhammad was saying about you know we have like you know jump started that process

an extraordinary way and i you know i work with 20 year old kids and young people and i am thinking that that generation having to experience this situation at that time in their lives will make them more resilient and will make the next generation will listen thank you very much for all of you for coming on the program and sharing your thoughts on this a sunni in 3rd wave i think we're all hoping that it is. short a time possible peter out from the american institute for economic research dr mohamed minear a bio medicine lecturer and lengthy her psychology professor and funding director of evolutionary studies at new york state university thank you. moving to a case that spawn multiple countries on yours russian national alexander finnick house been sentenced to a 5 year deal term in front son fined 100000 euro he was originally arrested on a u.s. warrant in greece 3 years ago over suspected cyber crimes over his time in detention

has been marred by claims of rights violations on his case becoming politicized parties for money cost for picks up the story. 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 she was originally facing 14 will the course of it based its decision on some of the things that have been found on his computer it's off venus he was sentenced to 5 years on the basis of things that cannot be proven false things sent by the americans via your apology we will definitely appeal this

budget when 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's also accused of fraud the greek or it's 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 not his lawyer that science said that then it denies all allegations against him and that he spent 80 days on their hunger strike now i interviewed to the next wife on 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. our life will never be the same again that money and the moment he was snatched away that very 2nd everything changed and will

never leave like we. are here being treated studies there on hunger strike that what our children are the were. the fact is they're waiting but they don't know where the future how long which one of us will come back and when it's hard for them to handle and 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 and not for the crimes that he allegedly committed meanwhile it's still not clear whether minnick will spend the entire 5 years behind bars in france as he is wanted by the united states as well or for a deeper dive into remand story indeed any of this news media suggest or to dot com as a solid jumping off always fresh content to check out there as well hope to see you again in 30.

join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you. yes there is a saying. look there on the cheek. and then you went through all the countries don't let the idea of the right to go to a country he said to me give them everything to do the best. in this country. this is what we don't understand how we are poor in such a country. ever since in the month of the same time. when.

the soon to run up a little similar was in the old jalap. the one legged the ability to feel if the minutes of kong were not there god can we believe again in the world with the fall of the cup good luck with that the plane. would come back to the place story you have to see. the best. you will do. to you. 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
