on the battlefield of belief. 100 people arrested in protest against the new security bill critics say the legislation. to prosecute police brutality. week's top stories. and the makers of. agreed to cooperate find out of combining their vaccines boost its effectiveness so we. hear it. good bye russia hello china gate with us in beijing the greatest threat to

washington today a sign of spy scandal is unveiled. good morning to you thanks for joining us this is our international. today over a controversial security bill 142 people were detained amid clashes with police riot officers used water cannon tear gas the situation there spiraled out of control there's been huge anger over plans to protect police officers by handing them extra powers boosting surveillance. was at the rally. well we have seen a number of what i would describe as smash and grabs by the police members of the security forces going in to the crowds and crapping out individuals that they think

of causing trouble or followed tensions with a portals except a whooping for the police officers who broussard's see gas already deployed to add to gases being used directing from aerosols sprays axe the protests. there are thousands and thousands of trying to get the camera to me to look at the street which is completely fact and then if it's possible to turn the camera around you'll see how many people are still coming. through that there were other demonstrations across the country as well all against the global security lowered our people are unhappy with article 24 specifically

this would have criminalized individuals who published images of the police if there was intent to harm that provoked huge theory here in front as a result parliamentarians are going to rewrite their specific rules but people are angry again don't just about that but also a new law that was approved by the french captain it here in the week and this also contains an article which is very very similar to the controversial article $24.00 that is that it would become a criminal act to post images of somebody online if it could be identified and if there was intent to home so take out the word police and it's essentially the same act and. the police are also unhappy about some of the comments made by president mccall in the last week he said in an interview that the police are controlling more people who normally white than white expect

a manual mccrone ends up telling the media that the police are racist i can guarantee my colleagues are not racist there is no racial control or even the police problem it unsecured upbringings the problem is that the police lock resources and personnel they lock many things and when they are asked for help no one is listening on the other side with and criticize the police which i think is like a step in the back of the police. if you would have thought this was the out i. was the last thing this was a protest that they are. russian and british scientists are set to combine forces and the vaccines in the latest bid to tackle the global pandemic that's after astra zeneca said that it's ready to work with the developers of russia sputnik the job today we announced a clinical trial program to assess safety and immunogenicity of combination of a's

a d $1222.00 developed by astra zeneca and oxford university and sputnik v. developed by russian research institute. the vaccine developers hope that combining the vaccines could lead to a better immune response for the corona virus the clinical trials will be held in russia and of all volunteers aged 18 and over astra zeneca his job is shown variable results depending on the dose with an average efficacy of 70 percent components but movies above 90 percent. they have a problem very vaccines efficacy isn't high enough this should be improved we have 2 different ads no viruses they will take one of them and use it as a booster. like it on college a professor lawrence young says that cross border cooperation will be vital in ending the health crisis i think is a fine stick 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 in your 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 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. we're talking of jobs moscow has become the 1st russian city to begin mass vaccination program the sputnik the shirts being made available free of charge front line

workers including hospital and school stuff will be at the front of the queue although for now it's not being given to anybody aged over 60. 1 rushes daily infection rates reached around 28000 cases the numbers have been steadily rising since september during the week artesia visited a company that's ramping up production of the vaccine. we are the 5 card company if they feed us back in the remind me of a scene is being told here that if they had this particular line for cases 6000 times but our sputnik the is a too short adenovirus based effects of x. seen the difference between sputnik v. 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 vaccination everyone is examined to make sure they're healthy that it takes another 15 minutes to store the vaccine sputnik vs 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 blots 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 i received that saying that i can be one of the 1st for the vaccination i'm so glad and i trust the vaccine. 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 vitti in russia they coded in $1000.00 jobs 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 works a nation is probably the only way now to put an end to the pandemic. you leadership of oliver r.c. . now this week the u.s. appeared to shift its gaze away from russia instead setting its sights firmly on china after u.s. intel chiefs identify beijing's washington's biggest threat comes after a member of the u.s. intelligence committee was targeted by a suspected chinese spy rogue as the of digs deeper. 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

moose thing 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 causing the stink not least because and this is awkward he sits on the house intelligence committee not the whole nation to 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 hug 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 that see you 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 most good image 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 you and jean shall have served on the board of the holding company for china's teach to build in a state 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 days 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 is this guy aggie purdie 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 the 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 threats 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 really is getting hard to keep up. on person has been injured in a shooting in washington state during what police declared a riot police say a suspect has been detained it's unclear what the victim's condition is trump supporters had gathered to denounce the election result and were met by counter protesters when violence broke out he's trying to disperse the groups using tear gas and flash bang grenades. pink floyd co-founder roger waters has been putting the world to rights on the latest episode of arties going on the ground among the targets in his sights the recent us election you can watch the full interview by heading to website r.t. dot com for now here's a preview if 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 world mongering servant of the oligarchy that rules the united

states american will continue to be so for however long he remains present the united states is not to be trusted on anything do you think joe biden is going to move the american embassy back to tell of a are you kidding he's made it quite clear that he's to staunch is zionist friend of. of israel that could possibly be in office so he i hope that he and kids start a happy sleeping in that caught that they're going to share for the next few years just our reality has to look 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 they 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 and 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 is going to oppose the un security council resolution making out that it was israeli. no of course not i don't expect him to. reverse any of that nonsense i expect him to absolutely abide by the deal of the century obviously i'm pretty happy that that skinny piece of dough to poke cushion or is no longer in the white house pretending to form foreign policy for the middle east. so it's come for you every american will get $3000.00 of us 1000000000 a shadow on the profits they made during the pandemic he tells a lot after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on the spear in dramatic development only and going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. more americans have now died because of the last fighting in the 2nd world war the death toll is close 230-0000 trial the total number of cases exceed 16000000 pandemic may be the country's worst crisis in recent history but it hasn't stopped the rich from getting richer the net worth of u.s. billionaires has soared by a 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 proviron stretches. well the campaigning group americans for tax fairness found the extra wealth accumulated by billionaires during the pandemic would be enough to dish out $3000.00 to every single american that's roughly equal to the entire amount spent by the federal government on health care last year nearly 4 times more than stimulus payments made earlier in the year to $159000000.00 americans now this report included $651.00 billionaires so many of them so they can look at some of the best known among them the wealthiest base ossie is now worth over $180000000000.00 that's more than the g.d.p. of iraq musk's wealth grew almost 6 folds while the illness has been around while zuckerberg almost doubled the amount of money he has both most conservative go

worth more than $100000000000.00 each now i guess debated the issue of profiting during a pandemic. i always love these kinds of analyses is it the government has a day or 6 not going to 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 is science he works which puts enormous wealth and therefore political power in the hands of a very small number of people will turn out to have a government policy that makes them richer this burst of new wealth is just as surely a product of government policy 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 hope for the draconian policies they've increased the gap. between the rich and poor that created new controversies of wealth is 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 that we left a lot of the private preparation for disease into the hands of private enterprise and markets and they failed as they have failed us so often in the past it's a pathetic sad story of a system spinning out of control so that it's unjust inequality keeps getting worse the government's inability to get anything right they're going to do everything everything everything wrong in a crisis including decreasing employment crushing firms crushing the engine of employment. all those sorts of things never once even considering maybe thanks should be a lower i mean i agree from hiatus from certain regulations on that sort of thing 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 pull the strings for all that but. the us federal trade commission is pushing to break up facebook using it of holding an illegal monopoly over the social media market filed a lawsuit bank by $48.00 states that targets facebook's acquisitions of the instagram and whatsapp platforms and swan host of boom bust on r.t. dollars mark. facebook is really coming under fire now that it is facing an anti-trust lawsuit from the state's attorneys general of $48.00 different states across the united states the allegation that's being made in this lawsuit essentially states that facebook has violated the law and violated competitive behavior during its acquisition in the early 201314 of instagram and whatsapp at the time that facebook acquired instagram it had about 30000000 users today it has over

a 1000000000 users worldwide at the time that it acquired facebook said that instagram wasn't really a competitor but today instagram has become very much a competitor to facebook and fully integrated into the facebook system for advertising data collection of users and even cross promotion of post here's what some of those states attorneys general had to say about the lawsuit today we are sending a clear and strong message to facebook and every other company that any efforts to stifle competition and hurt small businesses reduce innovation and creativity will be met with the full force of our offices the f.t.c. filed their own lawsuit against facebook today as well. and we look forward to collaborating with them in the litigation process the state's attorneys general are calling for an actual divestment of instagram and whatsapp what does that mean it means that if these states attorneys general when their lawsuit they would force facebook to actually sell off the assets of whatsapp and instagram

a very big deal in the tech world. several senior democrats a voice their opposition to job on his pick for defense secretary the president elect announced that he chose retired general lloyd austin on wednesday and would however need to waive the from congress in order to take up the role auntie's probably explains why. not even his own cossie is happy with joe biden's choice as secretary of defense lloyd austin is back. and that is great. well done right you very much at all since i retired 4 star general and that has raised a lot of lefty eyebrows. dozens ignoring the longstanding tradition of having a civilian at the helm of the most well known clicked fighting force in the world america is a great country. is a green light 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 you spent the last 4 years on the board of a massive defense contractor called great. deal with. the most interesting thing about biden picking austin is that alston is a. part of the world with. pres picking a man to be secretary of defense is a little bit grammarian 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 brings civilian enjoyment into pentagon under obama 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 trauma is a full. she's linked to defense contractor and she's presided over a hot mess in the middle east so biden picked a guy. which he was and shared he's linked to defense contractor has done and he's presided over a hot mess in the middle east if you're wondering how much of a hot mess here he is admitting that the us paid $500000000.00 to train a force of syrian fighters numbering 4 people find it's a small number. the ones that are in the fight. is is we're talking 445 but before you talk about how corrupt the democrats are if you're looking for someone to blame for this sorry state of affairs blame the

orange one i think you would have been a good general that's right donald trump started the trend of an ex general and said that i'm sure he is just heading up his own ministry when he appointed james mattis who had been on the board of another major defense contractor general dynamics. by the time we get invited successor. the head of the military and a major weapons company could end up being the same job and still be a man. by the state thanks for your company this is atienza national updates in half an hour. join me every thursday on the alex salmond's show and i'll be speaking to guest of
