i don't think you. astra zeneca and the makers of russia's sport agreed to cooperate at the start of the effectiveness of. vaccines. the united states sees a record. with figures now supporting the country's fatalities during world war 2. the international criminal court drops a probe into alleged war crimes by u.k. forces in iraq despite having a reasonable basis for the battles that he did take place. live from moscow thanks for joining us thoughts on r.t. international i'm daniel hawkins welcome to the program. a russian and british

scientists are set to combine their vaccines in the latest bid to tackle the global pandemic that's after astra zeneca said it's ready to work with the developers of russia sport nick v. jab before we hear. the new collaboration with my colleagues let's take a look at those actual remarks today we announce a clinical trial program to assess safety and immunogenicity of combination of d 1222 developed by astra zeneca and oxford university and sputnik v. developed by russian research institute i think it is quite important that this sort of hear from both sides and we hear about this huge corporation between the developer of the bridge swedish and the russian drug at the time you have to understand a global call the $1000.00 vaccine race 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 adults 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 it can be 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 covered 19 as you remember. vaccine is over 95 percent efficient 42 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. molecular

equality professor lawrence young believes cross border corp will be vital in ending the health crisis i think is a fine opportunity 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. well more americans have now died of coburg then more lost fighting in world war 2 almost 300000 of lost their lives to the virus caleb orpen has the latest. 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 in 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 where madness that will start with my signing in 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 of 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 helpfully whatever we do can prevent more and the rate of the more death from occurring more death 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 nancy pelosi and the democrats will act 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. u.s. president the legs are biden has unveiled his latest round of cabinet picks they include yet another obama era official tom vilsack as a group culture secretary for secretary of agriculture nominee tom vilsack an

outstanding 2 term governor of iowa the best secretary of agriculture i believe this country's ever had he was there when the great recession was. rumored over 8 years you oversaw a record breaking investment to bring us back. the former iowa governor was agriculture secretary under barack obama his tenure was plagued by accusations he favored major industrial giants including monsanto supported a number of controversial measures including the expansion of genetically modified crops and helped ease industry with frictions of autumn's cabinet has so far been packed with figures linked to big corporations former c.n.n. contributor jen psaki has been chosen as the new white house press secretary paulson is nomination as defense secretary has sparked concerns over his ties to arms supplier a fair while anthony blinken closeness with the big and powerful is being questioned over his nomination for secretary of state professor of political economy jack ross must doesn't believe will be saying much difference with the new

administration. always appointments nearly all the now burn notice retreads from your mom administration or pro corporate appointees you know it's not only that bill shack was. doing what he needed to do to run a free monsanto or g.m. i was glad he was in husband mystere i believe the head of the dairy council so are this guy has a long history of corporate agribusiness ryan other positions revolving doors of the same thing it's not mary convincing that they were going to have much of a change your and if the appointments by now are any indication of what the policies might be another is whether we're live nomics going to be obama nomics 2.0 and then we better worry and i don't see the biden's policies that are going to be russian in terms of a stimulus that's needed and if the democrats don't come up with the robust

stimulus economic policy when viney thinks in office then your functioning you're an anomaly you had none 2022 congresses. well several senior democrats of voice their opposition to joe biden's pick for defense secretary if president elect to name the retired general lloyd austin on wednesday but explains it seems there's concern austin could still be too close to the army. not even his own coffee is happy with joe biden his choice as secretary of defense lloyd austin is back. and that is great. well john right you very much at all since i retired 4 star general and that has raised a lot of lefty eyebrows. since ignored the longstanding tradition of having a civilian at the helm of the most well unclipped fighting force in the world america it's a great country we're drinking it is agreed so austin actually needs

a special waiver from cloned grass to take the job because the army retired in 2016 he hasn't been out of active service for the required 7 years no one seems to care that he spent the last 4 years on the board of a massive defense contractor called great. deal with the storage fundamentals but the most interesting thing about biden picking austin is that alston is the. one she employed to the world with. pres picking a man to be secretary of defense is a little bit blurry by which i mean it's not progressive everyone expected find until point michelle through and i as secretary of defense because she's actually experienced she's a civilian she tells the 3rd thing is to be

a drone into pentagon under obama and she was head of defense policy she's an expert on china next year or is going to be china and china china china china and yes she's a she but karma is a full show she's linked to defense contractors and she's presided over a hot mess in the middle east so biden picked a guy. she. was and sharon he's linked to defense contractors as he presided over a hot mess in the middle east if you're wondering how much of a hot mess he is admitting that the u.s. paid find a 100000000 dollars to train a force of syrian fighters numbering 4 people. it's a small number. the ones that are in the fight. is. we're talking for 4 or 5 or before you talk about how corrupt the democrats are if

you're looking for someone to blame for this story state of affairs played the orange one i think it would have been a good general that's right donald trump started the trend of an ex general and then actual moebius heading up his own ministry when he appointed james mattis who'd been on the board of another major defense contractor general dynamics. i disagree that environed success. in the military had a major weapons company could end up being the same joke and still be. still to come this hour classified documents showed that it was planning to trying chinese soldiers but none of this came on the pressure from the united states. after the break.

you are discussing a new school of economics alien economics and this is really brought about by negative interest rates means contact with the galactic federation.

and. come back to the program the international criminal court has dropped investigation into alleged war crimes while u.k. forces in iraq despite the prosecutor having a reason to believe did take place. end of 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 where 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 end missile 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 victim's 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. they raised reasonable evidence of all sorts of systematic violence against people in the

british news hounds during the iraq war but it also makes clear that being thousands of on occasions and not one of those cases has been prosecuted how they can say at the same time when the report can say the same time data has been no shield has been no cover up what i recommend is that people read the report itself it's an indictment of the british army it's an indictment of the british justice system and it's also in a strange way an indictment of the international criminal court the south 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 conflict from big say 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 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 u.s. troops in war zones washington simply head back 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. senior u.s. politicians are demanding action after a member of the intelligence committee was targeted by a suspected chinese spy this comes as u.s. intel chiefs have identified beijing as washington's number one threat or death if more. so trump's 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 moved well this crist so far the evidence is on contradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the ukrainians to help them 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 his 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 an steed owned enterprise that makes shapes 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.

these days the former speaker of the house just happens to be a lot b.s. for a certain people's republic of china there's this guy aggie purdy chief security officer who are way the u.s. is really china on a number of issues and they want to hurt one way to hurt china 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 therefore the head of u.s. intelligence has declared open season on beijing calling it threat number one 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. kind of scraps when it affects us as with china last year it was doing washington's bidding that's according at least the classified documents revealed by the media the trudeau government plan to invite chinese troops to train in ontario just months after 2 canadians were arrested in china a chinese military contingent was expected to study cold weather military tactics classified documents obtained by rebel news show the event was cancelled at the request of the u.s. state department. we recall for example that back in december department of national defense and canadian armed forces were keen 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 u.s.

we do not have a record of other 5 i countries expressing this concern 6 canada or the documents also suggest the exercise was cancelled directly by canadian armed forces bypassing trudeau's liberal government have contacted the canadian government for comment will bring any response meanwhile we asked the list why kind of that may be seeking better ties with china i'm not surprised that they're that the united states is putting pressure on canada. regards to its relations with china someone decided that it was not in canada's interest and that is the more unusual part is how that 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 kind of the long term success will rely more on china

than it will perhaps on the united states boom bust brings the latest on the global covert vaccine rollout us they want to talks on the facebook trust challenge we're back in 30 minutes with the latest to us again that.

which is the point it would find. an atmosphere child with geology and evidence or a little daughter who shoots since you're in need. of those for biology is

just far beyond our wildest imagination. and. is you'll be via reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. directly. what is truly wants is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or in maybe in the shallows.

within the us the one business show you can't afford to miss i'm sorry monta stay open washington coming out it looks like europe. is now working with the highly criticized russian public 5 sharing data on the corona virus vaccine and we have a full report on what that looks like and many experts predict that point will hit 20000 by the end of the year this comes up one day after it left and took a dip while discussing what its future to look like we have a lot to get to fill let's get started. the price correction is continuing with prices dropping briefly below $18000.00 still missing more and more buyers include.
