over $100.00 are arrested in paris at a protest against a new security bill critics say the legislation will make it harder to prosecute police brutality. plus in our roundup of the week's top stories a british woman join astra zeneca and the makers of bursa sputnik agreed to cooperate to find out of combining their vaccines and boost their effectiveness also we visit a center that's ready to produce a russian shot. and river behind me different scene is being fulfilled here in the times this particular mine produces sounds and local stuff. goodby russia gate hello china gate with u.s. intel troops bringing beijing the greatest threat to washington today you sign

a spy scandal was unveiled. this is the weekly here on r t welcome to our round up of the day's news along with headlines that shape the week. paris was engulfed in renewed unrest on saturday over a controversial security bill 142 people were detained and the clashes with police riot officers used water cannon and tear gas as the situation spiraled out of control as in huge anger over plans to protect police officers by handing them extra powers and boosting surveillance in the country. was at the rally for us. 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 a buffalo tensions with a portals except a whooping for the police officers who do so had she gas already deployed to add to gases being used directing from air or so sprays axe the protesters. there are thousands and thousands of trying to get the camera to me to look up the street which is completely packed and then if it's possible to turn the camera around you'll see how many people are still coming. there were other demonstrations across the country as well all against the global

security lowered our people were unhappy with article 24 specifically this would have criminalized individuals who published images of the police if there was intent to harm that provokes 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 armed. the police are also unhappy about some of the comments made by president not going in the last week he said in an interview that the police all controlling more people who are 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 today is no racial control or even the police problem it unsecured upbringings the problem is the police lock resources and personnel there are 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 the police. come to go make sure you get. the last piece right those are pretty tough. but they are here. or people have been stabbed in washington d.c. as clashes between pro trumpeters and their rivals turned this the victims are in critical condition backers of the outgoing president had rallied to denounce the election result but were met by counter protesters and by

a once broke out similar scenes played out on the west coast as well in washington state where one person was shot as rival protestors faced off it's unclear what the victim's condition is but police say a suspect has been detained trying to keep the sides apart using tear gas and stun grenades that were clearly going for a special. russian and british scientists are set to combine forces and they're back scenes 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 sputnik the. today we announce a clinical trial program to assess safety and immunogenicity of combination of a's a d 1222 developed by astra zeneca and oxford university and sputnik v. developed by russian research institute that same developers hope that combining their vaccines could lead to a better immune response to the corona virus and clinical trials will be held in

russia and involve volunteers age 18 and over astra zeneca job varying results depending on the dose with an average efficacy of 70 percent compared with sputnik these are 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 molecular oncology professor lawrence young says cross border cooperation will be vital in ending this health crisis. i think it's 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 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 that 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 the 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. moscow has become the 1st russian city to begin to mass coded vaccination program a spot and be shot is being made available free of charge frontline workers including hospital and school staff will be at the front of the line although for now it's not being given to anyone over the age of 60 are says daily infection rate has reached around 20000 cases the numbers have been steadily rising since september earlier this week art is english up of all of 1 this is

a company that's ramping up production of the vaccine. we are the 5 car company it's a fetus in every way i am a different scene is being told here that if they hide 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 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 like scenes requiring significantly lower temperatures for storage after the injection doctors

monitor you for 30 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 plots also it's free actually 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 bowlers i received the text saying that i can be one of the 1st for the vaccination i'm so glad and i trust the vaccine instructors to me yes 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 v.t. in russia the co the $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 works

a nation is probably the only way now to put an end to the pandemic. union ship of all of our own see. this week the u.s. appeared to shift its gaze away from russia in stead something that science firmly on china after u.s. intel chiefs identified beijing as washington's biggest threat it comes after a member of the u.s. intelligence committee was targeted by a suspected chinese spy on gaza if digs deeper. 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 unconscious directed at 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 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 chips for the chinese military. is also on the board at the bank of china and top lender to the ship builder remember also the former speaker of the house john boehner aka the original orange man is there's the whole. 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 really 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 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 really is getting hard to keep up. paying for it co-founder roger waters has been putting the world to rights on the latest edition of r.t. is going underground and i'll be targets in his sight was the recent us election

you can watch the full interview on our website but for now here's 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 biden is a dyed in the wool were among grating 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 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 kiss our. 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 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 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 had on the weekly every american would get $3000.00 if u.s. and billionaires share the profits they made during the kind of damage that story and more after this break. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those words. thinks. we dear to ask.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race based on often spearing dramatic development only loosely engage and i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back more americans have now died of covert than were lost fighting and world war 2 the death toll is now close to 300000 all the total number of cases exceeds 16000000

a pandemic maybe the country's worst crisis in recent history but that hasn't stopped the rich from getting richer and that worth of american billionaires has soared by one 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 to their massive fortunes they are pandemic profits are so immense that america's billionaires could pay for a major covert relieve bill and still not lose a dime of their provider it's reaches a campaign group americans for tax fairness found that the extra wealth accumulated by billionaires during the pandemic would be enough to dish out 3000 dollars to every single american that's roughly equal to the entire amount spent by the federal government in health care in 2019 and nearly 4 times more than the stimulus payments made earlier this year to 100 and $59000000.00 americans other report included $651.00 billionaires in total and we can look at

a few of the top there wealthiest of course jeff bezos is now worth over 180000000000 dollars which is more than the g.d.p. of iraq musk's wealth grow a 6 fold it during the pandemic will mark zuckerberg almost doubled his wealth musk and zuckerberg are worth more than $100000000000.00 now as well are guesstimated profiting from a pandemic. 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 is science he works which puts enormous wealth and therefore political power in the hands of a very small number of people who will turn out to have a government policy that makes them richer this burst of new wealth busy is just as surely a product of government policy was unnecessary you know the unintended consequences of lock downs 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 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 had 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 say heads florrie 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 thaksin

should be lower i mean a brief on hiatus from certain regulations on that sort of thing we have a monopoly in this country that 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 both of. us federal trade commission is pushing to break they spoke up accusing it of holding in a legal monopoly over the social media market as filed a lawsuit backed by $48.00 states targeting facebook's acquisition of the instagram and whatsapp platforms and swan host of r.t. has been bused told us more. 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 win their lawsuit they would force facebook to actually sell off the assets of whatsapp and instagram a very big deal in the tech world. senior democrats have voiced their opposition to joe biden's pick for defense secretary the president elect announced his he chose retired general lloyd austin on wednesday austin would however need a waiver from congress to take up the roll artist pine fika explains why. not even his own caucus 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 rapier. with the story fundamentally by the most interesting thing about biden picking austin is that alston is a. well known she implored to the world with. pres picking to be secretary of defense is a little bit blurry and by which i mean it's not progressive everyone expected find

until point michelle through and i am as secretary of defense because she's actually experienced she's a civilian she tells the 3rd things seniors civilians drawn into pentagon under obama she was head of defense policy she's an expert on china next year's wars going to be china and china china china china and yes she's a she but how can i as 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. which was shared he's linked to defense contractor danny 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 $500000000.00 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 for before you talk about how corrupt the democrats are if you're looking for someone to blame for this story state of affairs blame 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 had been on the board of another major defense contractor general dynamics. by the time we got to byron success. the head of the military and the head of a major weapons company could end up being the same joke i'll still be a. couple just some of the stories that helped shape the world these last 7 days as always thanks to me and.
