behind me the back seat is the vocals he is. coming up on the program we visit a. vaccination program. in parts of the u.k. revealed plans for. id cards prompting fears that getting a vaccination. will become almost all the boys will. we speak to roger waters the. rock group pink floyd he tells us why he believes the results of the u.s. election is going to be something. being reelected it would have been worse for everyone in the world but that doesn't make

a good candidate. for the world this is r.t. international my name's you know neal a welcome to the program. has become the 1st russian city to be. vaccination program the country sputnik 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. rushes dealy infection rate is reached around $29000.00 cases the numbers have been steadily rising since september so it is hoped the vaccine will help slow the spread. of all of this is a company that's readying test botches for months production. we are the 5 car

companies a fetus in every way i am a different scene is being of told here that if they hide this particular line for jay says $6000.00 but our 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 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 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 that scenes requiring significantly lower temperatures for storage after the injection doctors

monitor you for certain minutes before you're free to go. 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 free. 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 course i received a text saying that i can be one of the 1st full day of a vaccination i'm so glad and i trust that senior insurers don't leave the us a handout 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 the 2 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 explanation is probably the only way now to

put an end to the pandemic. but we spoke to a russian scientist who was among the 1st to receive the job in moscow he told us more about the vaccine why he decided to get. melissa answer 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 indigent 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 sciences but of course. if i had not have this access to the data from people actually participating in 2 in the 3rd phase of clinical trials it would be more

difficult to save all that convinced me personally to take decisions have a shot now again for each individual. risk and reward 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. yes that's what's happening in russia or the u.k. is also about to start mass vaccinations in wales there are plans to issue special id cards for those getting the job the personal immunization will have the name of the vaccine manufacturer that data was given the number it will also be used as a reminder of when the 2nd child with guidelines in place of side effects occur however despite officials insisting that vaccinations won't be mother to tree the

idea plans have made many people of comfortable and very worried about the system of id cards to be given to those who have had covered vaccination 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 id 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 all the official overseeing the vaccine rule out in england has admitted that while it's not obligatory there could be societal pressure to herbut questions have also been raised over whether shops restaurants etc could take it upon themselves to stop serving people without a code free certificate we discussed the issue with a panel of experts. we've had to carry certificates fold 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 but i think we've lost our collective minds with 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 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 out only 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 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 able to enter a store not being able to fly 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 come out as a consumer aide memoire as it were to the fact that you've got to get your 2nd that some nation that safin dividing line those goes off 'd so that what we jail for those people who are have natural immunity for everyone that's been identified there are probably 3 or 4 that already have this virus infected had very minimal symptoms and they're having anybody so they don't need a vaccine so i understand that point but i think there are 2 big questions that have to be asked about all these that scene's on the side and i'm not an epidemiologist but the for. this one is does the vaccine actually give you a permanent immunity 2nd one of course is that it may actually give you personally

immunity but does it actually stop being spread of the thoughtless to other people if you look at the history of such uses of such terms as the common good in the greater good it doesn't have a very good history let's face it this is usually the friendly fight face of totalitarianism but for the vulnerable where we already are doing what we need to do to protect them is to 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 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 well it's not hyperbole is it to say about the krona virus has certainly had a devastating impact on the world and time magazine believes that 2020 is in fact they worst year ever but is that really the case. being taking 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 or other rotten years out of the park for a time it was the wost year. there have been worse here seen 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 dust 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 stopping up to evolve that submitting the fumes while at least they put

a positive spin on but 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 changing 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 as 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 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 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 does. and the unraveling 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. 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 paul graham's the black death the holocaust atomic bombs famines genocide slavery i'm perhaps feeling just

a little hard done by. the co-founder of rock band pink floyd is the latest guest on ortiz going underground among the many subjects delved into we've got the view of roger waters on the president elect of the united states the full interview will be aired here throughout the day here is 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 it 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 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 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 i'm 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. no. cushion or is no longer in the white house pretending to form foreign policy for the middle east. still in the program finally to work the north stream to gas pipeline project restart south for a lengthy delay it's not complete washington story and we're up to the. is your media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being that. way. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or inmate in the shallowness. joe biden be inaugurated in january of next year shalev or will he have a legitimate mandate will the next campaign start when the next president takes office and the new liberal order is headed not to. be near egypt.

just approaching it 3 minutes into the program welcome helping when the us presidential election democrats are 2 senate seats in georgia the state that sealed joe biden's victory they need them to get full control of the horse and thus the lever on the promises made on the campaign trail but democratic the visions are starting to emerge over some although is very promises lost all quarter explains. for the democrats it can't come quick enough the moment when their guy is sitting in the oval office but with the empty trump front that brought them to power in the 1st place now losing relevance party unity is starting to buckle i guess you can use a snappy slogan like defund the police but you know you've lost a big audience the minute you say that do you want to actually get something done or do you want to feel good among the people you're already agree with obama wasn't the 1st high profile democrat to criticize the radical rhetoric of some of the

party supporters last month house majority whip james clyburn likened to fund the police to burn baby burn in 1960 s. civil rights slogan that cliburn claims lost the movement a lot of support back then we were very concerned when these slogans came out about defund the police we talked about how that slogan could undermine the black lives matter movement just as burn baby burn destroyed our movement back in the sixty's define the police is killing our party and we've got to stop it it seems like the democrats are far from united on how to play politics in fact alexandria kazuo cortez who barack obama even mentioned as a good new blood addition to the party has said that making people feel uncomfortable is more important than inclusive slogans the thing that critics of activists don't get is that they tried playing the polite language policy game and only did was make them easy to ignore it wasn't until they meet folks uncomfortable that there was traction to do anything even if it was in their food and she's not

the only one to take issue with obama's moderate stance we lose people in the hands of police it's not a slogan but a policy demand and centering the demand for equitable investments in budgets for communities across the country gets us progress in safety. with all due respect mr president let's talk about losing people well most michael brown june at last briana tayla we are losing our loved ones to police violence it's not a slogan it's a mandate for keeping our people alive the farm the police the party's radical elements were definitely helpful to the elites when they had a common enemy but now former allies are turning on one another for 2 weeks liberal activists in los angeles have been protesting a potential biden and ministration appointment it's the city's democratic mayor and he's less than popular with black lives matter it's a damn shame sound one who has felt the heiress of transportation and house listeners and now they think of putting him on national level to be in charge of

any of it liberal activists across the u.s. are sending a clear message to the democratic leadership don't forget who put you in power but say they don't get what they want out of a biden presidency perhaps they'll take the same direct action that we're still seeing at the close of a trump presidency well what could that mean for the future of the democratic party these are not just slogans these are calls to action by grassroots organizers who in many ways are the reason why there is even a president elect biden about to take over the white house democrats who are in the caucus right now who are ready to continue this discussion and to ramp it up so that people understand that this is a racial justice issue and equally important to the democratic party this is an issue that impacts people who are more likely to vote for them the grassroots organizers on the ground are going to remain vigilant and they are absolutely prepared to hold the incoming administration accountable to the promises that they

made such that those promises don't become reality at the end of the day in the democrats' best interest to come together. the russian foreign ministry has accused the us of political aggression over mounting pressure on the north stream to gas pipeline here's what spokeswoman ria so horrible to say 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 spies all the american attempts to stop the project construction of the pipeline are actually restarted over the weekend permission for work in the german waters of the baltic sea was obtained

from the german federal office for shipping and hydrography now that means nord stream to is almost finished with the pipeline 94 per cent 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 country bartulis should be allowed to act as they have with 3 dawn i think the mandolin especially by the us is over the top. present u.s. sanctions on north stream to include asset freezes on transactions and also visa restrictions over right before work restarted last weekend the us congress approved a bill that includes expanded sanctions against the pipeline now they range from measures against companies providing insurance to firms that provide the quit meant

just to give a recap the north rim 2 is an extension of the already existing nord stream pipeline which also goes through the baltic sea now it will be able to hold 55000000000 cubic meters of russian gas that will come from russia the germany been from germany to other european countries every year so what about its future well we've got the views of journalist thomas hospital. 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 silly to. dump almost 10000000000 euro in the baltic sea for nothing but of course the u.s. authorities the u.s. administration. continues to or pressure approach to pressure up disciplines pressure the governments but mr biden it's

a very difficult choice the new american president will have to follow it will be follow the old policy of office pretty sessoms 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 but not only to germany at it at an early stage of his presidency. space x. is next generation dragon cargo ship passed successfully launched from florida it's on a smart guy right to the international space station bringing almost 3 tons of essential
