russia on involve volunteers aged 18 and over the job created by oxford university industries and it can mean well has shown varying results depending on the dose with an average efficacy of 70 percent compared with but make these results so far over 90 percent. they have a problem 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 or molecular on college the professor lawrence young sees cross border cooperation is a vital component in tackling the health crisis. i think it's 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 in your responses to our competition so this is fantastic news and i think it will. raise confidence
2:03 pm
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 me 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 to moscow inoculation program the sputnik 3 job is being made available free of charge front line workers including hospital in school will be 1st in line 'd although for no it's not being given to anyone over the age of 60 russia's daily infection rate
2:04 pm

2:05 pm
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 30 minutes before you're free to go to the bone 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 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 everything was fast course i received the ted 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 or 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 job is voluntary and free of charge and even though some
2:06 pm
people still remain skeptical about the safety and efficiency of the vaccine most agree that large scale works in a nation is probably the only way now to put an end to the pandemic you leadership of all of us are saying. horace was engulfed in renewed unrest on saturday over a controversial security bill 142 people were detained during clashes with police. riot officers used water cannon and tear gas as the situation spiraled out of
2:07 pm
control the anger stems from plans to criminalize filming police officers and publishing that footage online the government later said it would rewrite the clause but not the entire bill but i've read has continued over other parts of the draft law as well including that there's thing of surveillance powers. for people who are being stopped in washington d.c. during clashes between trump supporters on their opponents they police moved in to separate the 2 opposing crowds detaining at least $23.00 demonstrators in the process the stabbing victims are reportedly all in a critical condition. on the west coast in washington state one person was shot and injured as rival crowds faced off police deployed tear gas and stun grenades and say a suspect has been detained conservative radio host de perkins told the program earlier the violence is not coming from the president's followers but from. trump supporters aren't violent they just don't show up in the streets with an intent to
2:08 pm
get in fights with people the preposition the weapons the bricks the special radios for communication and backpacks that can't be blocked like cell phones can be blocked all those preparations for riots are made by empty for the trump people just show up and wave flags and wave signs and a lot of america 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 they're 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 tromp 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. this week the u.s. appeared to shift its gaze away from instead setting its sights firmly on china
2:09 pm
with intel of chiefs identifying beijing as washington's biggest threat comes after a member of the u.s. intelligence committee was targeted by a suspected chinese their senior correspondent picks up that story. 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 moves through well this crist so far the evidence is one 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 only shall be removed from the
2:10 pm
intel he should be removed from congress as well yes house minority leader kevin mccarthy there spotting 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 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 c.u. 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
2:11 pm
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 i'm a 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 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
2:12 pm
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. to moving the program on a british newspaper has claimed that alexy novell knee was poisoned with not once but twice before being airlifted from siberia to germany the time cited all named intelligence sources saying he would be assassins tried to finish the opposition
2:13 pm
figure off while he was in a coma but field. german security sources have told their associates in the u.k. that the attack has 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 valmy passed i during a domestic flights on the 20th of august the pilot made an emergency landing in all square the politician was put into an interest coma 2 days later he was flown to berlin where a military law concluded that he had been poisoned with a nerve agent from the nova truck group western governments were quick to point the finger at the kremlin which has denied any involvement moscow's also repeatedly asked for access to the large results but to no avail the policy is still in germany appears to be on the road to a full recovery or political commentator i.k. homer told us that when a story is based entirely on anonymous sources it raises more questions than
2:14 pm
answers. well this all in so ridiculous that song somebody hear from somebody you get something from a friend so it's nothing and whenever you are asked for approve whenever you aust for a labile information they say sorry we can't handle it over i that 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 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. every american would get pretty thought this is dollars in their pockets if u.s. billionaire assured the profits they made during the day and make we look into about doing this now because of the work of this.
2:15 pm
joining me everything on the alec simon shield and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith.
2:16 pm
in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallowness. ok let's start with briggs that sunday 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 negotiator should talk some 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
2:17 pm
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 e.u. wants access to u.k. fishing waters post bragg's it but that was a key parts of the u.k.'s leave campaign and have also still not agreed on a level playing field for future tar of free trade or disputes would be resolved if either side don't play by the rules the u.k. officially left the back in january but remains in the single market the customs union during the transition period now if a deal isn't reached by the end of this month britain will just depart the block to trading on world trade organization rules with the way negotiations have been going so far many see as they most likely home well let's go live to the me wherever for the call commentator from britain and friend of the program anthony
2:18 pm
good to see you. despite all valid anthony there seems that being a brick through of sorts progress on northern ireland for a while but what are the actual chances of a deal by new year. well we'll keep on the soon mikey card expert i think the general public in the chairs getting fed up because because he proceeds to lead the 2016 so no i don't think many people will be exactly surprised yes or not it's a worry but then we've got to look as he said it's the advisory transitional period which was from. january but this year as the beginning of january next year which is only a few weeks ago and of course the point is the u.k. and e.u. column it's got to ratify it will so it isn't just respect to julio's elementary bodies to get a consumer who truly to scrutinize what. may be agreed to cost retirement
2:19 pm
something will be agreed to a moment but. it's going to supply us with democratic procedures because we're not told where the next step climbing such ignorance is baby but yes i mean unless there's some little they won't suit instead of the times which you know we've heard from are all the more so but i think that would not go to charlie well at school so i would certainly hope that comes to a coup conclusion with conservatism week to get the comments time to debase and or ratify or what the least would have disagreed yet cox take seriously say it like it did that what do you think they'll anthony do you believe that maybe some in government are actually relishing a no deal breaker the challenge of going it alone except or but maybe then
2:20 pm
forgetting about the immediate hardships that's going to affect millions of people . well i think we have to remember the our ear referendum in 2016 was all a question about leaving the e.u. it wasn't leaving the e.u. if we had to do so trying to have a deal yes of course it's positive to try and it's cheaper but at the end of the day if you call up. you have to carry on the. rules for as she mentioned earlier in your program and you think more and more accepting of that if that does happen yes i think i think that's a question you know it's a bad month if that would be our greece the dream. and the access a lot of these backbenchers like egypt won't like trees and raids with the initial agree. particularly the rather confusing situation we've got we will nominate
2:21 pm
a republican. i think the prime minister as well who were a secret guest there a revolt in his own rights but then it could possibly yesterday was true with the help of the tape and say helps with these all cool to turn in coded restrictions but yes luke good could go in a class he couldn't in on boats with the government budgets and the government spots take into account in achieving them around cost. at the moment so a lot of the party will not happy isn't day that a lot of the country or more. fool the future leave them to be t. who. it is all getting a bit it's all getting a bit angry though isn't it that we had the threat on for me to send navy gunboats
2:22 pm
to ward off european fishing boats in u.k. what it all seems a little hostile and provocative at such a sensitive time. yes i've personally. been scared that was just to try and get some support to show that perhaps a good governments being subtle and we're going to show issues i did with many people actually do that because when speaking but we're going to go shoot the end of the word some going is fire unless it is fun because those judgments can be made i mean obviously that in the there's been much speculation and we don't know what the secu saw or officer. of his disagreements on the consumer situation just the disputes resolution and agreements on various aspects city and the the customs union are in the single market now of course the u.k. discouragements legal as those are the institutions for the good most people are
2:23 pm
not going to have a good working relationship with the e.u. what they don't want is all this muscular and transparent infer things to be sorted out later on and just move on don't need seo rules now. tell us by generally 1st what what's your gut telling you do you think there will be a clean brick or a. well that can be be kicked down the road further away you know what's the sense in britain that this is going to be wrapped up by 2021 or might just roll a roll and roll. you know it's a very difficult well this will be on next year because our new start we're going to. be kicked out of the reason we are in. what we're so close to the agreement for it's work clip from n.p.r. i'm on food soup and it will save you the european parliament's time to pop we
2:24 pm
scrutinize. agree this to you. but. probably tell you go on and on we will be soon. i don't think part of this is ability any good. start. we would just have to worry sincerely in the air and will respond thanks for your time especially on a sunday anthony great to hear it anthony weber political commentary speaking to us from the u.k. . more americans have now died of covert than were lost fighting in world war 2 the death toll is approaching 300000 while the total number of cases exceeds 16000000 the bun demick 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 billionaire soared by a trillion dollars since march according to a new report. as tens of millions of americans suffer from the health and economic
2:25 pm
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. yet the company and group americans for tax fairness find that the extra wealth accumulated by billionaires during the pandemic would be enough to dish out $3000.00 to every single american now is roughly equal to be entire a month spent by the federal government on health care in $29.00 nearly 4 times as much the stimulus payments made earlier this year to some $159000000.00 americans well the report included 651 billionaires let's take a look at some of them eyeopening stuff the wealthiest jeff bezos worth over $180000000000.00 now that's more than the g.d.p. of hungary let's bring in the lawn muskies wealth grew almost 6 fold during the
2:26 pm
pandemic while mark zuckerberg almost doubled his both as a koperberg and are worth more than $100000000000.00 i debated with a guest profiting from 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 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
2:27 pm
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 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 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 i agree from hiatus from certain regulations on that sort of
