it's. coming together british form it joined us on the makers of russia's sputnik agreed to cooperate to study the effectiveness of combining their coronavirus vaccine. the u.s. sees a record surge in code with 19 feet which not surpass the country's bothell world war 2. as america struggles with. its economic consequences the nation's billionaires have increased their wealth by more than a trillion dollars this year. get their teeth into the issue it's a. story of a system spinning out of control so that it's just in the quality keeps getting

worse news but large corporation draw for people from some sort of refuge from these heavy handed government policies which never had to be so heavy and. the international criminal court drops a probe into alleged war crimes by u.k. forces in iraq despite having quote a reasonable basis to believe the atrocities actually took place. just after midday in nashville of 1119 karate 9 am here in moscow my names you know neal this is r t international. russian and british scientists are ready to combine their vaccines to tackle the cruel no virus pandemic former child astra zeneca said in a statement but it is ready to work with the developers of rushes but like the ortiz

great flush has more now on the team. today we announced a clinical trial program to assess safety and immunogenicity of combination of ease a d $1222.00 developed by astra zeneca and oxford university and sputnik v. developed by russian research institute i think it is quite important that this will be here from both sides and we hear about this huge corporation between the developer is of the british swedish and the russian drug at the time you have to understand of global covered 1000 vaccine raise and both sides believe everybody will only benefit from that. they have a problem very vaccines efficacy isn't high enough this should be improved we have 2 different ads or no viruses they will take one of them and use it as a booster collaboration with the gamma layer research institute is important to explore the potential of vaccine combinations unlocking synergies in protection and accessibility through a portfolio approach the head of russia's investment fund the company responsible

for foreign distribution of rushes of vaccine also believes this is a breakthrough collaboration this unique example of cooperation between scientists from different countries will play a crucial role in achieving the final victory over the pandemic astra zeneca its decision to conduct clinical trials using one of the 2 sputnik viveca says to improve the effectiveness of its own vaccine is an important step towards joining forces in the fight against the virus and astra zeneca says that they are going to start enroll in a doll's aged 18 years and older very very soon on your own friday we heard what mr putin's spokesperson the middle school of saying that competition is a very good thing of course but not when it comes to vaccine aimed at protecting the world these processes he believes should not be politicized and i think this is a very good example of what he meant these collaborations between us and again sputnik the so we have this unique cooperation how did developers come to the

agreement actually it was the russian initiative and they made this offer after interim earlier results of astra zeneca clinical trials were announced showing that the drug is safe and has an overall efficacy of 70 percent in protecting against 19 as you remember. vaccine is over 95 percent of fish and $42.00 days after the 1st shot it is a 2 shot vaccine i think this is where the idea of combining these 2 vaccines came from and meanwhile mass vaccination here in russia is in full swing and moscow is about to launch a huge factory able to produce $10000000.00 doses of sputnik the month. well molecular own college professor lawrence young sees cross border cooperation as vital in tackling the pandemic i think as i found that unity to work together in developing a more effective vaccine and there's lots of evidence that when you mix and match

different vaccine platforms you get stronger and longer lasting immune responses to our competition so this is fantastic news and i think it will. raise confidence both in terms of the astra zeneca vaccine and also the sputnik vaccine it demonstrates the the power of scientists working collaboratively we're all very keen scientists around the world to work together and work in collaboration and i think this will provide an excellent opportunity for the very best people working in the u.k. in the very best people working in russia to actually work together and i hope that one of the consequences of something like this is longer term collaboration in other areas of science and medicine so i think it's a very very important important day for us actually it's very exciting. more americans have not died of kovar than were lost fighting in world war 2 the death

toll is creeping up 130-0000 or the total number of cases over a 15000000 spoke dorothy's killer blow up an earlier. we've got 15000000 cases of covert 19 in the united states we've got hospitals overwhelmed 107000 people are in the hospital at this moment doctors say these numbers are going to keep getting worse on wednesday there were more deaths from covert 19 on one day than there were on september 11th these are pretty big numbers that people are looking on at the situation then and just appalled at how massively coded 1000 has expanded throughout the united states how much the pandemic seems to be completely out of control now joe biden is promising that when he takes office he will tackle this issue for his 1st 100 days in office he's talking about a mask a mandate but i'm absolutely convinced that in 100 days we can change the course of the disease and change life in america for the better i'm going to ask for

a mask in place everyone for the 1st 100 days of my administration to wear a mask that will start with my signing a new order on day one to require mass where i cannot be the law there is some concern about how a mask mandate would be enforced around the country where there are states and localities that have mandated masks be worn we've seen kind of rebellion among sheriffs and local police officers who are refusing to enforce it for example in california this local sheriff referred to a mask a mandate as dictatorial here is what he said he is expecting us to arrest anyone violating these orders cite them and take their money close their businesses make them stay in their homes and take away their civil liberties or he will punish all of us the riverside county sheriff's department will not be blackmailed bullied or used as muscle against riverside county residents in the enforcement of the

governor's orders unemployment numbers in the united states are actually the highest they've been sense mid september we. we had a situation where this week 853000 people lost their jobs bringing the total number of unemployed to 10700000 according to the u.s. department of labor now despite this there is a deadlock in congress they're fighting over the stimulus package others not a clear agreement between the 2 major parties about how relief should be provided and of course we've got the 2 major parties blaming each other take a listen and hopefully whatever we do can prevent more and the great of the more debt from occurring more debt. pretty soon sad to say that one lost their lives and world war 2. how many more businesses have to shutter how many more dreams have to be shattered. how many more people

have to be laid off. before dancey pelosi and the democrats will act if we need more time to take more time but we have to have a bill and we cannot go home without it things are pretty out of control the rival parties are blaming each other joe biden is promising that he will turn things around however there's a strong amount of opposition to the measures he's already proposing even before he takes office quite a problematic and serious situation here in the united states. side from the loss of life the pandemic has cost millions of jobs in the u.s. but that has not stopped the rich from getting a lot richer the net worth of american billionaires has soared by $1.00 trillion dollars since march according to a new report. as tens of millions of americans suffer from the health and economic river just over these pandemic a few 100 billionaires add to their massive fortunes their pandemic profits are so

immense that america's billionaires could pay for a major corporate relieve bill and still not lose a dime of their provider it's reaches the updraft of wealth to the billionaire class is disturbing at a time when millions face eviction destitution and loss billionaires are extracting wealth at a time when essential work is pushed into the viral line 5 campaign group americans for tax fairness far enough the extra wealth accumulated by billionaires during the pandemic would be enough to dish out $3000.00 to every single american it's roughly equal to the entire month spent by the federal government on health care and 2019 a nearly 4 times more than the stimulus payments made earlier this year to $159000000.00 americans well the report included $651.00 billionaires and here are some of them the wealthiest jeff bezos is now worth over $180000000000.00 which is more than the g.d.p.

of hungry elon musk's wealth has grown almost 6 full during the pandemic while mark zuckerberg almost doubled his both last koperberg are worth more than $100000000000.00 i asked to economist richard wolfe and peter all of the causes of the rapidly growing wealth gap. this is capitalism on government life support and the side effect of that is to make those who own shares the overwhelming bulk being owned by the richest people even richer and while everybody else is in trouble in the way that they blame capitalism for destroying the poor and and creating great inequality these government policies do exactly that have lockdowns crushing small medium businesses we have stayed home orders which drove people into an unemployment largely virtual existence we don't wait a month for policy which drove a crisis in financial markets i always love these kinds of analyses is it the

government has a day or 6 not going into drugs from the government there's nothing naive here the government isn't doing something then as a result the government is itself the result of the way this society works which puts enormous wealth and therefore political power in the hands of a very small number of people who turn out to have a government policy that makes them richer this burst of new wealth is just as purely a product of government policy and was unnecessary you know the unintended consequences of lockdowns and such and in this case they call them non-pharmaceutical interventions but there's also capacity limits on businesses are going to be almost the opposite of what we're hoping for the draconian policies they've increased the gap. between the rich and poor that created new controversies of wealth this tremendous consolidation going on right now let me be clear here we could have been prepared for this virus the way other countries where we could have handled it better the way other countries than it's a pathetic sad story of

a system spinning out of control so that it's unjust inequality keeps getting worse we have a monopoly in this country have had it for a century we have 2 parties we don't allow 2 businesses that dominate most of our industries but we allow these 2 parties to dominate our politics that's very convenient for the computer they. the class of corporate directors who donate the bulk of the money to both of them will pull the strings from both of the bodies and you can't really have a monopoly without government help because innovation never stops you have you would you need to have a monopoly as richard said is you need government controls you need artificial controls like patents and like copyright and all that sort of thing health care is a perfect example of that as a business and it's a sector which is super regulated. and it therefore you have entrenched interests there and for that reason we shouldn't be surprised that those costs are rising rising rising and you know to ju-ju jujube with no end in sight i mean i think that

is. what is one of the one of those maybe maybe the picture perfect examples of what happens when government gets up to its neck in an industry to think of this is a government policy is strange the beneficiary ear our corporations they are operate with 4 industries doctors hospitals the bison drug makers and the insurers they've got us by the throat we have to pay those prices that they control yes peter's right they use the government to cement their monopoly as monopolists always at but the impetus the desire that need to control the market to squeeze more profits that's what drives the government to do what they do in support of these interests trying to maximize the money they can squeeze out of our health care if you look at these lockdowns how many people i mean if you think of people locked in home people with nothing to do stores being closed what was keeping people alive what was keeping people fed what was keeping people's minds saying

right facebook google amazon netflix things like that those no service providers and as many of the businesses to me is but large corporations are offering people some some sort of refuge from these heavy handed government policies which never had to be so heavy handed. another story we're closely following today the international criminal court house trying to probe into alleged war crimes by u.k. armed forces in iraq that's the spy the prosecutor having quote a reasonable basis to believe that offenses took place they court explained if the session by pointing to the fact that the london had investigated the matter itself a low investigations into more than $3000.00 cases resulted in no prosecutions. and that story after 6 years of what was called a preliminary examination of allegations of war crimes by the u.k. motel in iraq the international criminal court says it's not going to proceed and so just before calling the british justice system one of the best in the world this

is the way you case proud defense secretary reacts their statement today indicates our efforts to pursue justice were allegations have been found that i'm pleased that work we have done and continue to do in improving the quality and assurances around investigations has been recognized by the international criminal court what i suggest though is reading beyond the 1st 2 lines of what the i.c.c. prosecutor ruled it will only take a few seconds to get to the part that says the office has previously found and today confirmed that there is a reasonable basis to believe members of the british armed forces are responsible for the following.

i'll continue reading out bits from pretty much every paragraph one after another civilian supervisory and military command fail or contributed to the commission of crimes against detainees the initial response of the british army and theater at the time of the alleged offenses was inadequate not a single case being submitted for prosecution to date a result that has deprived the victims of justice i could keep going but it's already clear that these conclusions sound like they're from a different report not from one that leads to a major case being dropped or a senior cabinet member bragging about an amazing justice system the judgment is it is a travesty given the actual content of the report which not only says. reasonable

evidence of all sorts of systematic violence against people in the british. during the iraq war but it also makes clear that sounds about negotiations and not one of those cases has been prosecuted and all they can say at the same time on the record can say the same time that that has been no shield to be no cover up what i recommend is that people read the report itself it's an indictment of the british army its enjoyment of the british justice system and it's also in a strange way an indictment of the international criminal court it sounds however if that's the way things are in the world of international criminal law london tick the boxes by launching domestic probes and the i.c.c. couldn't prove any seal doing. or deliberate covering up so the rest is out of the tribunals jurisdiction which only makes you wonder following up on the i.c.c. zone statement does it all mean the iraqi victims will never get justice the u.k.

government has repeatedly shown precious little interest in investigating and prosecuting atrocities committed abroad by british troops the prosecutor's decision to close a u.k. inquiry will doubtless fuel perceptions and an ugly double standard in justice one approach to powerful states and quite another for those with less clout the news from the i.c.c. comes as london pushes for a controversial overseas operations bill it's supposed to quote unquote protect british troops in overseas call flights from big safe says litigation and repeat investigations critics though say it would allow more offenders to escape the law the overseas operations bill will do nothing to address the issue of repeat investigations of u.k. armed forces personnel list will do is make arifin cases like the death of iraqi national baha mussa even more difficult to prosecute. the u.k.

would also be violating numerous human rights treaties by not ensuring abuses are properly dealt with but even without the bill as we now know the international criminal court has pulled the brakes on probing the british military earlier when the court was going to look into potential abuses by the us troops and war zones washington simply had backed by sanctioning senior staff members at the i.c.c. what if after that the tribunals didn't want to go too far with investigating uncle sam's number one ally in iraq well there's no way of knowing. top u.s. politicians are calling for heads to roll after a member of the u.s. intelligence committee was targeted by a suspected chinese spy it comes as u.s. intel chiefs identified beijing as washington's number one verse 3 rock as the it's been digging a little to. so trumps out and the russia gate thing is slamming shut

behind him because there's a new scare story in town china you know it doesn't take long to dig up dirt in a town like washington q us democrat representative eric swalwell until now move well this crist so far the evidence is on contradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the ukrainians to help him choose an election this time around it's his links to a suspected chinese spy who is in the stink not least because and this is awkward he sits on the house intelligence committee not the only shall be removed from the intel he should be removed from congress as well yes house minority leader kevin mccarthy there spotted an opportunity to claim his 1st victim so the background in a nutshell swalwell hod a chinese national called thang fag in his early political career and this person quickly started raising suspicions within the intel community he got rid of her but

has recently refused to answer whether he slept with her which probably means yes but before we burn mr swalwell at the stake at sea we're out might have to join him once this chinese witch hunt really gains momentum you've got a feel for mitch mcconnell he survived the title but can he now survive the fact that is wife secretary of transportation elaine chao is from one of china's most prominent political families that would be one hell of a honey trap and joe and jane shall have served on the board of the holding company for china's teach to build in a state owned enterprise that makes chips for the chinese military. is also on the board at the bank of china at top lender to the ship builder remember also the former speaker of the house john boehner aka the original orange man is there is the high. republicans actually give john boehner

a harder time than they give me. which means orange really is the new black ah these days the former speaker of the house just happens to be a lot b.s. for a certain people's republic of china is this guy aggie purdy chief security officer who are way the u.s. is ready for china on a number of issues and they want to hurt one way to hurt china the very afraid of the competition between china and the u.s. so they're focusing on hurting while way before getting professionally agri for you our way for a living and you purdy was a member of the white house start team that helped draft the u.s. national strategy to secure cyberspace this is just the tip of the iceberg there for the head of u.s. intelligence has declared open season on beijing calling it threat number what if i could communicate one thing to the american people it is that the people's republic of china poses the greatest threat to america today and the greatest threat to

democracy and freedom worldwide since world war 2 what they might find is that there aren't many politicians left who don't have links to this new enemy because they used to be friends weenies getting hard to keep up when also scrap joint military exercises with beijing last year it was doing washington's bidding that's according to classified documents revealed by a canadian news network trudeau government plan to invite chinese troops to train in on tardio just months after 2 canadians were arrested in china the chinese military contingent was expected to study canadian cold weather military tactics classified documents obtained by rebel news show that a training event was eventually counseled at the request of the u.s. state department. we recalled for example that back in

december department of national defense and canadian forces looking to cancel the people's liberation army participation in the winter survival training following their request from the d.o.d. to do so that winter survival training will not take place this winter the security concerns who originated primarily from the us we do not have a record of other 5 i countries expressing this concern 6 canada the revealed documents also suggest the exercise was cancelled directly by canadian armed forces bypassing trudeau's liberal government we have a global affairs calendar to comment on the situation will let you know if we hear back from them earlier experts told us why kelly this top officials might want to see better relations with china. relationship between canada and china is. reasonably good so these my as world history will this exercise trend in 2090 might as well be an event well planned from

a larger share of the g. point of view i'm not surprised at all for the pressure of us on canada in fact it's not just canada even the u.k. australia new see the they always see of pressure these countries are long acting like an independent countries with independent foreign policies from the actions of prince trudeau canada is clearly much more inclined towards the pressure. from the united states i'm not surprised that they're that the united states is putting pressure on canada. regards to its relations with china and someone decided that it was not in canada's interest and that is the more unusual part is how the military if these reports are correct managed to supersede the prime minister that is perhaps the more interesting question to ask and of course i don't have any answers for that who does but this is it looks like

a case of insubordination canada's long term success will rely more on china than it will perhaps on the united states. and when a teenager loses both parents in the space of a year you might think life couldn't get tougher but and lunch and then having to become guardian to 6 younger siblings to stop them from being taken into care and what you get in christina's case is a high school of love catch her story next in our documentary big sister. in january there may be a new american president but what won't change is washington stance towards iran is military conflict inevitable what is the value of diplomacy if one site owner agreements what are iran's.
