the. scene is being told here if things on the frontline in the fight against covert moscow begins mass vaccinations we visit a center that's ready to produce russia's new job. meanwhile as some parts of the u.k. reveal plans for immunization id cards it prompts fears that getting a vaccination will become almost unavoidable. and the pink floyd co-founder roger waters reveals why he thinks the recent us election would end in disappointment no matter who won. it's been reelected it would have been worse for everyone in the world but that doesn't make a good candidate. live

from moscow this is our international from the team and myself. welcome to the program. moscow has become the 1st russian city to begin a mass covert vaccination program the sputnik job is being made available free of charge front line workers including hospital and school staff will be at the front of the queue though for now it's being given to anyone over 60 russia's daily infection rate has reached around 29000 cases the numbers have been steadily rising since september. visited a company that's preparing for mass production of the vaccine. we are the fire car company it's a fetus in every way i am a different scene is being bottled here it's being hot this particular line for jay says 6000 is a human based one not an animal so what's

a vector 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 vaccines requiring significantly lower temperatures for storage after the injection doctors monitor you for certain minutes before you're free to go. and i will i'm a teacher i think the vaccination is a great way to protect myself and most importantly my relatives my parents already 65 was also its version has become much and that your passion i was initially examined by a doctor after he asked if i had any chronic diseases measured my blood pressure and looked at my electronic medical record and when i was allowed to undergo the

procedure on my everything or thrust force i received a text saying that i can be one of the 1st although vaccination i'm so led and i trust their work seen in the shadows to me of 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 the 2 in russia they coded in $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 you know shot of the aussie. the russian scientist who was among the 1st to receive the job in moscow told us more about the vaccine and why he decided to get it. melissa i 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 have in this explains these high speed of development and actually to meet it as it is a fundamental scientists this is in. just a few 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 2 in the 3rd phase of clinical trials it would be more difficult to save all that convinced me personally to take the decision to have a shot now again for each individual it's the weight of risk and war in my case the risk of having. only current owners disease and completions associated with that is so high that i was looking forward to having this

opportunity to get the shot. or mass vaccinations are also about to start in the u.k. owned wales they're also proud of the issue special id cards for those getting the job the forms will name the vaccines producer the date it was given and the batch number but also state when the 2nd job is needed and lists guidelines over potential side effects but the id plans a rising concern the job will be unavoidable the spite of already saying it won't be mandatory 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 see the official overseeing

the vaccine roll out in england has admitted there could be pressure in society to have it questions also been raised there whether shops and restaurants could stop serving people without a vaccine certificate we put the issue up for debate. we've had to carry certificates school but fax nation things like this you know the whole 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 frontline provider should probably be vaccinated for the overly the people who are sick but this was 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 you 2nd that sedation it's a fin dividing line those where it goes off 'd so that what 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

there have anybody so they don't need a back seat to understand that point but i think there are 2 big questions that have to be asked about all these that seems 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 florist 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 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 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 whether corona virus has certainly had a devastating impact on the wild so much so time magazine has now declared 2020 the worst yet ever saskatoon has been taken closer look and assessing if that's really the case. 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 blew other rotten years out of the park for a 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 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 fuse 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 as a.b.c. news is project oh boy it took florida was. such that i mean this is just really the beginning of the end for hillary clinton's campaign. this was a white against a change in country it was a white flash against

a black president if this morning you finally woke up from a coma well you might want to go back to the. me. so with a meltdown over an election is one reason 2020 made time i would say. it's a tie with 2016 although of course the magazine couldn't pass up the is public enemy number one the coronavirus does not positive spin here pandemics take lives and change others for coverage 19 is no exception but it's also not unique 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 pay outs with the homes and malibu biting 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 that's not gone unnoticed by some of those people trapped in the own lonely little boy. worst cover ever. honestly guys i think you should open your history books way worse things happened in 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 i'm perhaps feeling just a little hard done by legendary pink floyd co-founder roger waters as in putting the words through write the world to rights on the latest edition of art is going on the ground among the targets in his sights was the recent us election you can watch the full interview on our web site here's a quick preview. 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 stomach a happy sleeping in that caught that they're going to share for the next few years kiss our reality as their love aither of them having any power under any circumstances because they are clearly not clear thinkers they clearly don't believe in human rights they clearly have no interest in the law to have no interest in the united nations they have no interest in the geneva conventions they have no interest in any of the things that in near to my heart and to your heart should have been completely impartial you have campaigned for upholding of un

security council revolution resolutions all your life you don't expect biden to reverse the trump position on the golan heights the illegal declaration by the united states is going to oppose the un security council resolution making out that it was israeli 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. or is no longer in the white house pretending to form foreign policy for the middle east. still to come this hour more than a pipe dream walk finally restarts and the huge north stream project to supply russian gas to europe but the move provokes the anger of washington story and more still to come off the break.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of

the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back a suspected russian hacker who's been at the center of an international tug of war has now been handed a 5 year jail sentence in france and xander vinick was originally arrested on a u.s. war on in greece 3 years ago his case has seen claims of being politicized and rights violations as more. 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. alexander vinick swank's passed away on the 11th of november and to sentence him to day to 5 years in prison means that his 2 children will essentially be orphans who will not get to see their dad for at least a few more years these are young children who are just gutted that the father is not near because of documents which you don't have the originals or copies and the french judiciary system doesn't have the originals either. 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 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 the decision by the greek 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 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. that our life will never be the same again at once and the moment he was snatched away that very 2nd everything changed i will never leave like we used to. i'm here being treated that he's there on hunger strike but our children are the worst affected they're waiting where 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 very young and don't fully understand everything that's going

on then 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. nothing with clear political aggression that's all russia's foreign ministry's describe u.s. pressure over the north stream to gas pipeline project with europe 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. despite washington's attempts to stop the project construction of the pipeline restarted over the weekend and after bottom granted permission for the work in the german waters of the baltic sea more stream too is that almost complete with 94 percent of the pipeline now built. 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 sounds in it i think 1st and foremost it's an economic enterprise the 2 states russia and germany committed to and the country partners should be allowed to act as they have agreed on i think the modeling especially by the us is over the top now at present to us sanctions on north stream to include asset freezes transaction buyers and also visa restrictions however right before restarted work we started over the

weekend the us congress approved an expanded sanctions bill willis targets insurance firms for avoiding service is the companies supplying equipment and or stream to comes in addition to the already existing north stream pipeline which also runs through the baltic sea it will be able to pump 55000000000 cubic meters of natural gas from russia to germany every year and then on to the rest of europe journalist thomas fassbender shared his thoughts on the project's future. 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 an it's a very difficult choice the new american president will have to follow it really follow the old policy of his previous s. and donald trump go in against the project i think very much the opposition to north stream to is not a pet project of donald trump but it is deeply embedded in the geopolitics of the u.s. foreign policy establishment on the other side joe biden by really interrupting really boycotting prohibiting that project would load negatively load his relations to europe or not only germany at a at an early stage of his presidency. when a mystery illness struck down u.s. diplomats in cuba and china even speculation in the media suggest that a new weapon was being wheeled it in the world on our washington's release the

reported report into what's been dubbed have on a syndrome. some cia analysts who are russian experts diplomats and scientists contend good evidence points to moscow which has a long history of experimenting with the technology a source familiar with them told n.b.c. news the cia had determined that some russian intelligence agents who had worked on weapons programs were present in the same cities at the same time that cia offices

suffered mysterious symptoms. thanks. travels the congo one of the world's most resorts rich countries. and civil strife have left the population and policy despite the country's natural riches. with the latest headlines join us again that. franchisors financial survival guide i don't buy any i've cost on my features. face
