latest headlines on the week's top stories are british. business we. should produce the russian show. here in. this particular print she says. over 100 people arrested in part. critics say the legislation will make it harder to.

riots break out in several u.s. cities between left wing groups supporters leading to. exposing a deepening rift over the election. yet another deadline is pushed back with less than 3 weeks for the european union. deal. with the top stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment of elements as well this is the weekly on r.t. and welcome russian british scientists have agreed to combine forces on their vaccines in a bid to global demick astra zeneca say it is ready to work with the developers of russia. 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 the vaccine developers hope and combining their drugs could lead to a better immune response to the corona virus the clinical trials will be held here in russia volunteers aged 18 and over the job created by oxford university and astra zeneca meanwhile has shown varying results pending in the dose with an average efficacy of 70 percent no doubts compared rushes sputnik v results so far they are 'd sitting at 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 i got the thoughts of molecular and professor lawrence younger earlier he

ses 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 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 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 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. it's hard to say it doesn't make sense there's a talking of jobs moscow has become the 1st russian city to begin in moscow with inoculation program b. sputnik 3 shot being made available free of charge no frontline workers hospital staff as well will be 1st in line although for no it's not being given to anyone or the age of 60. 1 rushes dealy infection rate hers reach 28000 cases the numbers have been steadily rising since september and earlier this week artie's uli a shop of oliver visited a company that's reaping up production of the facts. we are the 5 car companies say 55 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 vaccines 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 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 a 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 cove in $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. of the. chorus was engulfed in renewed to unrest on saturday over a controversial security bill 142 people were detained during clashes with police.

riot officers used water cannon tear gas sounds the situation spiraled out of control the younger stems from plans to criminalize the filming of police officers and published up footage online with quote ill intent the government later said it would rewrite the clause but not the entire bill has continued over other parts of the draft law including the boosting of surveillance powers. let's say bring you to not totally dissimilar scenes stateside where 4 people have been stabbed in washington d.c.

during clashes between trump supporters on their opponents the police moved in to separate the 2 opposing crowds detaining over 20 people in the process the stabbing victims are reportedly all right now 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 from the gates 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 fringe groups. supporters are violent they just don't show up in the streets with an intent to get in fights with people. position weapons the bricks the special radios for communication in backpacks that can't be blocked like cell phones can be blocked all those 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 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 tromped they're just showing up because there is a left wing enemy dutch throwing punches and they're in the mood to throw them back . pretty interesting development this week the u.s. appeared to shift its gaze away from russia and instead setting its sights from the 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 or senior correspondent i guess the it picks up the 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 causing a stink not least because and this is awkward he seats 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 had 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 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 mitch 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 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 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 the purdy was a member of the white house staff 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 we is getting hard to keep up. a pink floyd co-founder the musical legend roger waters didn't hold back this week while appearing in ortiz going underground among the targets in his sights the recent us election you can watch the full interview on our website but let's take a look at part of it. 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 it biden is a dyed in the wool were among grading 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 of 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 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. and i'm completely impartial you have campaigned for upholding of un security council resolution 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 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. a british newspaper has claimed that alexina volley was poisoned with novacek not once but twice before being lifted her lifted from siberia to germany now the times cited unnamed intelligence sources as saying the would be assassin is trying to finish the russian opposition figure off but he was in a coma. 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 only passed i doing a domestic flight on the 20th of august the pilot made an emergency landing and square the politician was put in to an interest coma 2 days later he was going to berlin where a military lab concluded that he had been poisoned with a nerve agent from the knob of chocolate western governments were quick to point the finger at the kremlin which has denied any involvement mosque was also repeatedly asked for access to the law results but to no avail in the belly is still in germany and now appears to be on the road to a full recovery or political commentator ikea hummer told us that when the story is based entirely on anonymous sources it raises more questions than answers. well this sounds 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 off for a libel 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 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. this is our international still to come on the weekly every american would get $3.00 in dollars if the u.s. billionaire assured at the profits be made during the demick we'll look into about one more after this short break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by a dream shaped by our own person. who

dares thinks. we dare to ask. 19 minutes into the program welcome back let's start with briggs it 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 sided negotiator should talk a little bit 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 well this is what they'll be talking to by they don't see eye to eye on 3 key areas that you want access to u.k. fishing waters pushed brags about was a key part of britain's leave campaign negotiators have also still not agreed on a level playing field for a future tar of free trade or on disputes would be resolved if either side do not play by the rules will be officially left the youth back in january but remains in the single market and also the customs union during the transition period if a deal is not reached by the end of this month britain will just depart the block revert to trading on world trade organization rules know it the way negotiations really have been going so far many see. the most likely i'd come

a little earlier i spoke to anthony webber a political commentator from britain he believes that most people have grown tired of the negotiations on just wanted to be over one way or another. people are very making progress but i think the general public you we care about because because we voted to leave the e.u. in 2016 or so no i don't we can many people would be strictly surprised that our yes we're not going to look i think we have to remember the our iraq through 2016 question to leave it in the e.u. it wasn't leaving the e.u. if we had to do so trying to set up a deal yes of course which causes it to try and achieve again my skating law again it's something you go to working with or she shipped with the e.u. what we don't want to do was muscular on the front stoop her things to be sorted out of later on i'm just maybe on top of the studio rules now.

more americans have now died of cobra done were lost fighting in world war 2 the death toll is approaching 300000 while the total number of cases exceeds $16000000.00 while 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 billionaire isa soared by a trillion dollars since march according to a new report as tens of millions of americans suffer from the health and economic ridge's 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 a major covert relieve bill and still not lose a dime of their proviron streatch as. crunching the numbers pretty interesting that campaign there for the americans for tax fairness fund that the extra wealth accumulated by billionaire richer in the pandemic will be enough to decide $3000.00

to every single american that's roughly equal to the entire amount spent by the federal government on health care and 2019 here 4 times more than the stimulus payments made earlier this year to $159000000.00 americans now the report included $651.00 billionaires pretty eye opening stuff let's take a look at some of the wealthiest jeff sauce he's now worth over $180000000000.00 which is more than the g.d.p. of hungry musk's wealth grew almost 6 fold during the pandemic mark zuckerberg it a good one as well he doubled his net worth both most they're worth $100000000000.00 each no i didn't get it with some guests profiting from a pun demick. 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 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 hoped 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 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 to pull the strings for both of these. and other big development this week in the tech world the u.s. federal trade commission is pushing to brick all facebook cruising in a holding in

a legal monopoly over the social media market its final a lawsuit bought by almost all the states $48.00 of them targeting facebook's oppositions all of the instagram on what's up platform ben swan host of bimbos here on r.t. told me more facebook is really coming under fire now that it is facing an antitrust lawsuit from the state's attorneys general of 48 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. 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
