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 who 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 the specific laws but people are angry again don't just about that but also a new. law that was approved by the french captain it earlier in the week and this also contains an article which is very very similar to that controversial article $24.00 that is that it would become
12:04 pm
a criminal act to post images of somebody online if they could be identified armed 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 not going in the last week he said in an interview that the police are controlling more people who are normally white than white expect a manual mccrone and telling the media that the police are racist i can guarantee my colleagues are not racists today is no racial control or even the police problem it's unsecured upwards the problem is that 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 of things. he told me you.

12:06 pm
preparations for riots are made by and chief the trump people just show up and wave flags and wave signs and a lot of america the violence you're talking about is between the fox and the proud boys and i've been a monitor of conservative politics in america for 35 years until this year i never heard of the problem is they are not a conservative group they're libertarians and they're not racist their founder and current leader is a man who is half black and half cuban and if anyone wants to research the problems online it's easy to figure out they don't belong to the conservative movement and they aren't really all that pro tromped they're just showing up because there is a left wing enemy that's throwing punches and they're in the mood to throw them back. russian and british scientists have agreed to combine forces under vaccine and i beg to go with global pandemic astra zeneca ses it's ready to work with the developers of russia's sputnik the chip today we announced
12:07 pm
a clinical trial program to assess safety and immunogenicity of combination of a zip d. $1222.00 developed by us to seneca and oxford university and sputnik v. developed by russian research institute. the vaccine developers hope combining their drugs could lead to a better immune response to the corona virus the clinical trials will be held here in russia on involve volunteers aged 18 and over now the job created by oxford university astra zeneca has shown varying results the pending on the dose with an average efficacy of 70 percent compared with sputnik vs results so far of over 90 percent. they have a problem vaccines efficacy isn't high enough this should be improved we have 2 different ads in new viruses they will take one of them and use it as a booster molecular on college professor lawrence young ses cross border cooperation is going to be vital in tackling the health crisis. i think it's
12:08 pm
a fine has to cope with 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. talking of
12:09 pm
germs moscow has become the 1st russian city to begin a mass covert inoculation program they sputnik shot is being made available free of charge front line workers including hospital and school stuff will be 1st in line although for now it's not being given to anyone over the age of 60 russia's dealy infection rate has reached 28000 cases the numbers have been steadily rising since september earlier this week r.t. to lift up with oliver visited a company that's ramping up production of the facts. 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 caught 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
12:10 pm
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 that 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 30 minutes before you're free to go. i think the vaccination is a great way to protect myself and most importantly my relatives my parents are already 65 was 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
12:11 pm
everything was fast course i received that that saying that i can be one of the 1st for the vaccination i'm so glad and i trust the vaccine in this matter to me 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 covert $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. this week the u.s. appeared to shift its gaze away from russia instead setting its sights firmly on china with intel chiefs identifying beijing as washington's biggest threat it comes after a member of the u.s. intelligence committee was targeted by a suspected chinese spy our senior correspondent goes the it picks up the story. so
12:12 pm
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 stunning 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 fang fagged in his early political career and this person
12:13 pm
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 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 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 is
12:14 pm
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 low b. is 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 while 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 stuff 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
12:15 pm
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 weenies getting hard to keep up. every american would get $3000.00 if us billionaire shared just the profits majoring that we look into more for the short. human history has always seen continuous war opensource but in recent years it
12:16 pm
12:17 pm
17 minutes into the program welcome back let's start back with regs it today was meant to be make or break for trade negotiations but after a phone conversation the british prime minister and european commission chief of the cited negotiation. talks and more despite the fact that deadlines have been missed over and over we both think that it is responsible at this point in time to go the extra mile i'm afraid we're still very far apart on some key things but where there's life there's hope we're going to keep talking to see what we can do the u.k. certainly would be away from the talks so that people would expect us to go the extra mile the 2 sides still don't see eye to eye on 3 key areas the access
12:18 pm
to u.k. fishing waters post breaks it was a key part of britain's leave campaign negotiators also still not agreed on a level playing field for future tar a free trade or unheard disputes would be resolved if either side doesn't play by the rules. well the u.k. officially left the e.u. back in january but remains in the single market on customs union during the transition period now if a deal is not reached by the end of this month britain will just the part of the block revert to trading on world trade organization rules with the way negotiations have been going so far many see that as the most likely come let's go live now to journalist and financial industry consultant damian world sent him in good to see you. and i don't mean to be flippant there's been a meeting about organizing another meeting but 2021 is fast approaching are there any actual chances of
12:19 pm
a deal do you think i think there are yes i think that time of let's put it bluntly nearly deadline really matters is december 31st despite the sunday this sunday or next tuesday or last week whatever whatever they say this seems to be a pattern of sudden movement on things made at one point north of the northern irish situation was was the deal breaker and then all of a sudden in a matter of one day that was all solved now we have the real treat all but that we're stuck in with the you there seems to be movement on that so maybe that's the next block to fall and then fishing of course with fishing is the emotional. piece in this going but i think that. has been used using these french officials position quite clearly here but why is there such a big sticking point fishing to me. well. if there's a law there's a huge emotional value on fishing in this country in this country and people see it
12:20 pm
as a way of life reflects so much about who we are is as british people but the problem is that we're but we're catching fish that we're just selling back to europe and they're catching fish this selling to us so it's a complete shambles. macro knows that if he doesn't do this deal or official event lane doesn't do this deal the as of that day 1st to generate the french going to be restricted access to british waters and looks like britain what it will be using the military to to back that up so that's not going to be a situation anyone wants to see i know you say that there's been some movement all of a sudden but for a long time there wasn't really to what extent do you think those dull and beat assessments of negotiations from both sides are are just part of of the brinkmanship at the moment i think they're i think they intrinsic to it i mean it's there's no no surprise that the netflix series queen's gambit has been hugely popular newquay because everyone loves a good chess game and this is just another one of those one week ocean of underlay
12:21 pm
and he's upbeat and boris johnson's down the next week they swap sides so it's just coming in going interesting leave on the lame open the door this this morning after slamming it shut on wednesday night after their by all accounts disastrous denah so it's just interesting that this is the way they're moving but you know up until the smalling we were definitely going out with no deal now maybe that's the situation just how damaging what a nobody likes to be for both sides just a single 2nd 3 guys and candy may know that it's a big issue. i think that britain is now at the point where the majority of people would accept it we are sick of it to be honest it's for years has been too long talking about this nothing's been done and here we are 2 weeks to the end of the year and this is the situation we're in and i think in europe i think they are unimpressed with the stubbornness that's been shown and i
12:22 pm
think they'll give it that shrug and say you guys want to go just go would you be shocked if talks did continue after december $31.00 and $1.00 guys or another no not at all i would i would wouldn't be surprised at all if there were some items some issues that were kept in somewhat of an abeyance to be discussed further down the track but in broad strokes the whole thing was was a sign deal and just finally and no deal breaker if it does happen how do you think it would it make britain stronger or weaker in the short term. in the short term i think we will feel a hit but i think that the economy has been trashed by coronavirus so those 2 things would be caught up would be hard to separate exactly what the damage is left behind from the pen demick and what rick's itself as a self has caused the talking about slight inconveniences at dover with.
12:23 pm
trucks going to get back and forth across the channel could face delays but that's just a traffic problem really after all so. i think that although we have a short short term it will get through i mean thanks very much for your time especially on a sunday journalist financial industry consultant damian wilson pleasure. more americans have now died of kovar than were lost fighting in world war 2 the death toll is approaching 300000 while the total number of cases exceeds 16000000 the pandemic may be the country's worst crisis in recent history but that hasn't stopped the rich from getting richer the net worth of american billionaires has in fact soared by one trillion dollars since march according to a new report as tens of millions of americans suffer from the health and economic ridges of these pandemic a few 100 billionaires add to their massive fortunes their pandemic profits are so immense that america's billionaires could pay for
12:24 pm
a major corporate relieve bill and still not lose a dime of their proviron reaches. well the campaign group americans for tax furnace fun if the extra wealth accumulated by billionaires during the pandemic would be enough to pay out $3000.00 to every single american is roughly equal to the entire month spent by the federal government on health care and $29.00 dean and nearly 4 times more of the stimulus payments made earlier this year to $159000000.00 americans well the report included 651 billionaires let's take a look at some of them the wealthiest jeff beatty sauce is now worth over $180000000000.00 which is more than the g.d.p. of hungary. grew almost 6 fold during the demick while mark zuckerberg almost doubled his both must count zuckerberg are worth more than $100000000000.00 i debated with a guest profiting from
12:25 pm
a pandemic. 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 cya the 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 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'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 that we left
12:26 pm
a lot of the private preparation for disease into the hands of private enterprise and markets and they fail as they have failed us so often in the past it's a pathetic say heads glory 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 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. mommy to both of them pull the strings for both of these. a british newspaper claimed that alexina valmy was poisoned with novacek not once but twice before being or lifted from siberia to germany the time cited on 'd named intelligence sources as saying the would be assassins tried to finish the opposition figure off while he was in a coma but field german security sources have told their associates in the u.k. that the attack was struck again as in the valley lay in an induced coma before being put on a medical flight to germany this was with a view to him being dead by the time he arrived in berlin one source said alexina volley past died during a domestic flight on the 20th of august the pilot made an emergency landing in were the politician was put into an induced coma 2 days later he was flown to berlin where a military lab concluded that he had been poisoned with
12:28 pm
a nerve agent from the novacek group western governments were quick to point the finger at the kremlin which has denied any involvement moscow has also repeatedly asked for access to the law results but to no avail the valley is still in germany now appears to be on the road to a full recovery of political commentator i care homer told us that when the story is based entirely on anonymous sources it's not verifiable. well this so and so ridiculous that song somebody hear from somebody or get something from a friend so it's nothing and whenever you are asked for a proof whenever you are asked for a labile information they say sorry we can't handle it over either it is classified or it is it is not for you or whatever this is ridiculous when you make up stories nothing fits together is the russian secret service is not even able to poison somebody with a deadly poison on its own soil this doesn't fit together at all so this is
12:29 pm
a big lie story and i think every child knows that by now i think they don't know how to get out of this story and they just dig themselves far into it in our documentary shot in the months just prior to the 2020 u.s. election gets its airing next delving into 4 main areas gun violence the opioid crisis immigration and homelessness my america starts in a moment. that's geysers financial survival guide like what does it do you can burn in 6 hours quite easily. to keep in mind though as it's me into a place of. record. the
12:30 pm
unique thing about march for our lives is that the adults are afraid of us quite frankly members of congress are very afraid of us and that's something we know and we definitely use to our advantage we're able to get meetings with people who quite literally will never vote in favor of any gun violence prevention bill but they're afraid to not because they don't want to see what would happen if we were to call them out for not taking our meeting but 187 total instances 38 deaths 93 injuries and 15 teenagers killed or injured 3 children serious. to that if. we go into these rooms with these and with these house members and they'd be surprised because we were these young faces who had experience to come out and stop myself and my friends and bring them into those rooms suddenly these senators
