i think it was. russian british vaccine create. 2 gather in the hope of. a fact. reaction and. new highly contagious strain discovered in the u.k. . but the head of the russian front behind the shot. the 000 s. by. the way the

latest mutation growing list of countries flights from the u.k. . traffic leaving people stranded over christmas. day 70 and texting of trains been cancelled you have to get out of the country basically yeah just to do that my family and. the u.s. attorney general say he's russian certainly appear to have targeted u.s. institutions we'll look at the latest claims on the familiar. just after 10 at night in nairobi in baghdad here in moscow this monday december the 21st welcome to our team my names you know neal. britain's.

russia's center signed an agreement to cooperate in the fight against cruel the virus joint clinical trials are set to start just days from now or. was in the studio earlier explaining the significance of the time to check into gaza. a russian research institute gunwale a british pharmaceutical giant astra zeneca they have decided to join their forces in making this new vaccine against the corona virus more effective they have signed an agreement a so-called a memorandum and they are said to begin joint clinical trials a very very shortly basically they will be trying to marry the 2 different formulas and to make the job as efficient as possible have a listen to how the sea of astra zeneca put what was achieved today we have 2 main goals the 1st one is to allow. professional loaders to use 11 vaccine all the

other for the for the 1st injection and the 2nd goal is to hopefully get better when you combine 2 different recs in i don't think companies are competing against each other everybody is racing against the virus we will need many many vaccines because there is no one single. cent of works in a world it's about making the vaccine as reliable as possible because right now astra zeneca is africa's stands at around 70 percent it's a good number but again it could be much much better the producers of the russian vaccine sputnik we are placing its efficacy at around 90 to 95 percent and such international corporation has been promoted and pushed for by the russian president vladimir putin himself i am glad to congratulate you on this significance event signing the memorandum of cooperation i'm convinced that this commitment to

partnership can serve as a compelling example of how science and technology combine to protect the lives and safety of millions of people what about when it comes of this new highly infectious corona virus strain that we're hearing about how conflict can we be that the vaccines that we have well work against it the thing to understand about this. particular corona virus the type of this infection it's a so-called are an ape infection r.n.a. virus and of these viruses they mutate very rapidly so essentially there could be dozens of different variations of this 1000 virus but i should say this is something that any vaccine producer any scientist will keep in the equation because it doesn't make any sense to make a vaccine against only some one particular strain of the virus because which is one strain of the virus now say 6 months from now on it could mutate and develop some different traits so this is something that the producers of the vaccine again that

something would keep in mind this mutation or asian with. another produces what you call it or don't because we just need a war to gather and it's our national operation. believe. these. are against the strain just as was the. other day show that you or your dispatchers america believes that it will lead to advocacy. if they use this approach but again it still need to be tested and we will do so i mean several months now when it comes to these 2 vaccines that we have at this point it hasn't exactly been smooth sailing for them has it well absolutely astra zeneca is vaccine it has faced its own share of criticism it has been centered around its average advocacy of 70 percent essentially the company behind the vaccine astra zeneca has

been criticized for not being transparent when releasing information about how they tested this vaccine because essentially they said that well a full dose was less efficient than a half dose and it didn't make any sense because it has to be more effective than half the dose and then it turned out it proved to be less efficient among the. elderly people and that was something amid and the initial press report by astra zeneca when it comes to sputnik it has also been criticized people have been pointing out and claiming that it didn't go through all the necessary phases of testing before going to the market but the scientists behind sputnik the they have addressed this criticism both have been critical. as a just critical because you don't know all of the facts and all information sometimes a critical purpose for competitive reasons for geopolitical reasons what you've seen as it's ever beis up there is just less also of all arguments by the critics

so 1st of all this or that feeling or maybe install it well it's clear that small because it's very different from others that we believe it's better in many ways than others so there was criticism what about phase 3 and we've seen there are a few manufacturers also registered as it were seen on the emergency use basis just as russia did you for all of these to be completed so and so were questions about this well we demonstrated advocacy more than 90 percent on point it will solve and 700 or to 6 people who participate in clinical trials into the sea. best of both astra zeneca and the russians they have put their cards on the table and now basically independent people you know object to can objectively look and study both back scenes and put all the marketing all the politics aside and just genuinely make the job better. let's get some expert

analysis now from kendrick malcolm's a british doctor or 3rd good to see him out come what is your reaction to this tell you up between russian and british scientists combining their covert vaccine to is it going to work do you think. well. you may have a crystal ball i mean they're both using the same basic technology the pfizer ones are using a little a modified or an a technology which has never been used before so you couldn't really combine yesterday with. the bicycle or the maternal one just would be completely. incompatible but as i understand it nick and yes isn't it because we're not seeing those used pretty well established techniques using it and that new virus which is you know the to carry the spike so this is more of a traditional more traditional way of working and it's very similar the way it

works so i think there's a good chance that these 2 technologies will will be compatible and and of course the more people looking at him go the larger number of people we've got in the trial yesterday from all around the world as well we seem to be having a little bit of a silent issue there with malcolm of can you can hear me ok. i don't know if i am sure and i mean like. you i just know another point i was going to bring up the pfizer bio on tech vaccine you just talked about it it's being given the green light in the e.u. the u.s. has already approved 2 vaccines but there's nothing like enough doses to go so homeport is it to get other jobs onto the market you think well i think it's going to go i mean i think the. only way out of current situation is is to get a high level about solution no i think the issue which one is better than much one is not yet established i'm just looking to your pfizer one. you know that they talk

about 95 percent african si unit circle which is obviously good but i think that when you when you know you wrote solution in one release do you sense that you smokers were end up being much more similar so i think if we can yet look slightly lower risk model much all of larger population. with a different one i think this is absolutely a good approach would be very supportive knowing this well looking at the u.k. where you are there's plenty of frustration i believe over the christmas locked arms which come despite a number of government promises after putting up with restrictions for so long perhaps in the hope of getting you know an open christmas do you think this is going to be a step too far in terms of public trust that the closure of many things in the days before the 25th well i think that the problem is the message just keep changing your microseconds so you get one message then you get another message and i think

an impression really people are floundering about what you don't want. from the people who are supposed to know what they're doing in the sense of panic and floundering around i mean i think we can see that the latest concern about the new strain or variation or whatever it is. suddenly you know they're all right it's usually in the french close the border so you have to be very careful about the message you put out. you get a bit well. you know you really don't know what you're talking about definitely the impression i get from other people that i speak to europe is no shutting down travel with the u.k. over the new strain of covert is there any call for that do you think the mutation you need all it has already been around since september it's already been detected elsewhere in europe well he certainly is in some we're saying that they seem to have decided suddenly appeared on it it's. serious and yet you say it's been around

for ages i mean how do you know about seniors not knowing. me at different rates are any viruses which is this is the virus that you know if you read 900. 60 really rapidly so this is you know if. you don't know anything about ours we know it's been around for months and now suddenly everybody is jumping up and down going oh my goodness we absolutely must that so. yes i mean i have no idea what happened here i got the impression was a bunker seems battle between 2 different groups and one lot were trying to scare us and degrades a lot and there's a lot we're trying to avoid and i think what we're seeing is the external manifestations of trying to battle ground going on. stores like i'm always great to have you on the program thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and expertise malcolm kendrick dr and author thank you very much russia

has joined growing list of countries banning flights from the u.k. after discovering of the new virus strain there it is believed to be 70 percent more transmissible than earlier variants reporting are from london r.t. shania edwards touched. well 2 days after boris johnson the prime minister announced his latest set of restrictions it's almost as though the united kingdom is plummeting into chaos countries that neighbor the united kingdom have not quite gone to the extent of shutting the borders down entirely they're doing all they can very extreme measures to try and contain this new strand of covert 1000 in the united kingdom and not to bring it to their shores now france's freezed transport links with the united kingdom for at least a 48 hours germany is not quite following suit but all travel is being banned and suspended until december 31st that's followed by many countries both within europe and outside europe including the netherlands belgium and italy and further afield

canada colombia and saudi arabia with that list of countries growing by the minute for thousands of people both sides of the english channel are struggling to get back home in time for christmas i live in paris and i've always had christmas with my family i'm heading back to france to see my family couldn't see for more than 4 months just to do with my family and for. everybody to be my train was meant to be evening. but they sent me a text like 2 o'clock this afternoon saying a train's been cancelled you have to get out of the country now basically if you want to go but there was a glimmer of hope there from the prime minister a few weeks ago when he promised brits that they could celebrate christmas with their loved ones at least for around 4 or 5 days around christmas however that festive joy was absolutely wrenched from many people within the united kingdom with boris johnson announcing that christmas a century was canceled at least for those in the southeast of the country by saying

their slogan returns to stay at home and no indoor household mixing simply saying christmas is counsel for many people now this is all because of this new strain this new super strand of 19 which the health secretary. has said it's completely out of control you said recently that the virus was under control is it no it's not the new variant is out of control and we need to bring it under control following boris johnson's announcement on saturday thousands of londoners were scrambling to get out of the capital to avoid having a lonely christmas this year because many parts of the country remain in loose a set of are strict in the south but of course the whole idea of clamping down in the south was to try and restrain this latest strand of the coronavirus so many people in the north are calling londoners to have fled from the capital incredibly selfish and totally irresponsible but for those stuck in the capital they would

argue that the government's handling of this pandemic has long been something that needs to be called out on and criticised for mixed messages and indeed broken promises. we've got i think you would be like you'd probably be free you might be like remember this is a prime minister that gets worse i think you go with the basic you know you probably just playing this week bookies well despite this is verity of these measures some people online on twitter especially have managed to see the funny side. while boris johnson may be seen as the grinch that stole christmas at least

christmas this year effectively being cancelled there is a glimmer of hope and that comes in the form of that vaccination hopefully a gift from santa will be that christmas is back on track at least next year. journalist broadcaster new clark thinks the british government has mismanaged the latest crisis and caused all necessary chaos the fact of the matter is that this so-called use throat was known about in september we had scientists writing about it discussing it in september and yet the health secretary only says this just a few days before christmas why didn't he make an announcement about this in september why didn't they get up in september now so it could get double what was going to happen and it's also to link up with governments that will ever get to where the british government is trying to terrify is the iraqi government the star about this terrible strain of course our closest trading partners are going to say

wow you're sorry we're going to block flights going to stop people coming in from what you say true british government said it why should we have british people coming over to our countries and of course we got the chaos of the whole issue about the about the french blockade etc coming in so it really is a total disaster really and disaster is the responsibility of the british government. the u.s. attorney general has pointed the finger at russia over a major her government departments america's own intelligence agencies have so far stopped short of assigning blame but that didn't stop william barr from drawing conclusions from the information i have i agree with secretary pump alles assessment it certainly appears to be the russians but i'm not going to discuss it beyond that. let's bring in our tease donald quarter don valid claim from the attorney general echoed what the secretary of state earlier salmon yet the language used is far from certain and definitive again. that's right you know and not

a shred of evidence has been made public and yet we're seeing how the attorney general of the united states seems to already be calling russia guilty until proven innocent while refusing to say anything more about the matter now in the court of law this wouldn't really work out but over the past several years we've seen how when it comes to russia all you need is a person of importance saying that things are pretty clear and this is no exception but we can say pretty clearly that it was louis shifting to the most activity now this is a bit surprising coming from pompei although because throughout trump's administration we've seen mostly democrats jumping on the anti russia bandwagon but this time it's been bipartisan finger pointing and dancing around the fact that nobody really knows for sure what happened we don't know fully what happened the extent of it and frankly we don't know fully for sure who did it now we also

did hear from donald trump who caught a lot of flack from the mainstream media and politicians from both parties for daring to suggest that this could just be a bunch of baloney the cyber hack is far greater in the fake news media than in the actuality they have been fully briefed and everything is well under control russia russia russia is the priority chance when anything happens because lame she media is for mostly financial reasons petrified of discussing the possibility that it may be shina it may but with trump we have another baseless accusation which the chinese foreign ministry has even criticized as spreading false information but who knows who is going to listen to that because when russia makes similar statements like denying having anything to do with hacking major u.s. government servers it seems like it falls on deaf ears within america's political establishment they're going through the double quarter. well let's stay with this story and delve deeper into a clue rockwell who is in or through

a political consultant and editor of lou rockwell dot com. you have barr and pompei i was saying russia probably did it but they're not exactly sure what do you read into their cautious use of language when they both these men are examples of president drums disastrous appointments in his administration pompei i remember when he after he left the cia he gave a speech to some graduating college students to praise himself for being very good at his job especially lying he said he was a great liar well i guess that's true and as to bar bar course the criminal who hid the biden crime family record all during the campaign and now says nothing should be looked into by the justice department so both these guys are are bad actors and b. i will be glad to see biden comment but i'll be glad to see them get out i should perhaps the one in fact happened here you have the state department the department of

homeland security new parts of the pentagon old compromise that went on for months and yet the u.s. government didn't know about it until they were told by a private cyber security firm fire is that a huge national figure. well i think it is a failure and of course the u.s. government by the way is always spying on every other country it's seeking to hack every other country whether it's russia china germany everybody else so we're not supposed to ever talk about that were never supposed to mention but the u.s. of course and hacks every other country's elections all the time and this of course have been sort of perfectly fine well i've never seen addressed in u.s. media. it's just not ever not ever mentioned so the u.s. is by and large i'm sorry to say a very bad actor internationally and i'm afraid that it's going to be much worse when trump is gone and we'll have the biden appointees and it's it's terrible

things but i don't think we can believe bill barr we can't believe pompei 0 both these are these are bad guys and again if bill barring done his job. probably biden would not have been elected although i don't think by now actually was elected but he wouldn't he would have been seeming to be elected. because because of the people would have understood about what the bug the ball biden crime crime family is about all the horrible things they do it's not just 100 biden it's . joe biden is his brother jim the whole the whole bunch of them are crooks and criminals and. the evil bar hid that and they just recently said today you saw no reason to investigate 100 biden so he would say they would of course they would. take away from those claims when they would say about stuff still true we have to say. the whole rush to get in or

a sieve the election hucking claims went on for years nothing was ever proven could these latest accusations be a face saving attempt or some in the political establishment do you think they're trying to prove they were right all along after so much mom power expense that went on this. i think they just love attacking russia they love attacking china too and so it could be that but i think they're all with the once a biden is in he's going to have all kinds of new charges that so and so is doing this and so and isn't a terrible thing and we need to retaliate so the u.s. of course is a very aggressive power and it's got its bad bases all around russia it's got its military all around russia it's constantly going after russia russia by the way is a country that's got a military budget about 10 percent the size of the u.s. has but of course we're not but we're supposed to think oh my gosh they're 10 feet tall they're going to attack us isn't horrible i just want to mention one thing to

the russians a christian country makes an unusual in this this world today but. i think that the no no evidence that russia has done any of this this is just the u.s. giving out its propaganda you know to make trouble in order to hurt trump they're afraid that them that trump might pull something out of his sleeve here right at the end before the before the inauguration of biden i must i must say i would love to see that if that does happen i hope pompei o. and bar among others are right out the door they think you're telling lou rockwell or through political consultants knife on our team trust. another story i want to bring you today 9 people have been killed in a car bombing in the afghan capital kabul 20 others were injured during the days of one of them a member of parliament no groups have yet claimed responsibility the attack comes after a new report by a u.s. watchdog revealing not been turned over to the afghan government has gone missing

r.t.c. mitri polk looks up the possible implications. for the pentagon has yet again lost track of its toys according to a new report by the special inspector general for afghanistan reconstruction the department of defense lost track of 60 percent of quote some of the most sensitive articles provided to the afghan military the last gear includes night vision devices surveillance systems and even controls for laser guided explosives the sensitive equipment was supposed to be inventoried by the u.s. every year to ensure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands but apparently that's exactly what happened after the pentagon failed to keep count of this precious gear the command has never met its 100 percent inventory requirement and is unlikely to ever do so because the security situation in afghanistan prevents some inventories from taking place the report found that in 2019 and afghan forces filed over 3000

change of use requests for the transferred articles almost half of which were captured by enemy forces and the others destroyed damaged or simply lost however the pentagon doesn't seem to be too broken up about the whole ordeal nothing has actually changed in the way the u.s. keeps track of its foreign military aid despite constant promises to do better over the years the pentagon has lost track of thousands of weapons and billions of dollars of foreign military aid and once in a while the lethal cargo ends up in the hands of the terrorists. the pentagon even gets coronavirus relief funds and even those get misplaced one

would think the scale of carelessness would inquire some serious reform but so far everything seems to stay the same and the pentagon maintains its several 100 $1000000000.00 annual budget to the frustration of many with little to no accountability it's hard to avoid the conclusion that the u.s. doesn't really care where its weapons and funds end up just as long as there's constant demand for them i think the problem has historically been that once you get into. the far reaches of the country a lot a lot of the inventory just goes missing it's that it's not properly inventoried and it passes from and and and eventually u.s. forces generally lose track of what they need human sensitive equipment such as your night vision a more great programs get going in moments here nor to after a quick look at what else is being served up over the next week or so for you check

out if anything takes your fancy why don't you buy for. calibers some demonstrators right now the propaganda machine. is going to russia. lead. vocals. i'm sure in a song. like. live

time after a time see and welcome to going on the ground the team and i will be back with.
