president elect joe biden gets his 1st dose of the pfizer kobe vaccine amid reports from alaska or at least 2 health care workers to delta lunch reactions. also this hour we talked to alexander ginsberg the director of the institute behind russia sputnik the vaccine full confidence and the job. needs of my 14 year old granddaughter so you violated your own instructions against vaccinating children that's outrageous you were ready to kill your entire family for the sake of it in

the backseat i wasn't going to kill zone but prove that the vaccine is completely safe. and residents of northern england are too pleased by the influx of londoners fleeing the stricter walked almost here from people living in manchester. will radiate responsible by just talking everyone on the trains i'm really not sure that we should be leaving them whether it will be a massive outbreak. watching our to international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program u.s. president elect joe biden has received his 1st dose of pfizer's coated vaccine he got the shot live on t.v. to encourage others to get the job when it's more widely available also commanded the trump administration's efforts and getting the shot produced so quickly. station desertion credit yourself the ground operation where. it's one of the very

same shore hospital there's a lot of you get a rather silly phone that evolved into a needle and on at least 2 health care workers and alaska develop symptoms after they got the pfizer job with one being kept under hospital observation for 2 days the case is calm after the u.k. medical regulator issued it warning about giving back same to anyone with a history of severe allergies but the vaccine will continue to be rolled out and alaska at this time we have no plans in changing our vaccine schedule are you saying there regimen this is all kind of part of what we've been looking for and expecting and looking out for we are making sure that healthcare providers know about this earlier we spoke to malcolm kendrick a doctor and author who finds the latest developments concerning. we're going to expect reactions but there seems to be quite so we are quite early so i think it's something that people should be quite worried but we don't know who's most likely to have a problem although some people we just definitely should not be so they think you

search are essential so i think from a medical sort of understanding point you would be left with them well just give it a lot and hope it doesn't cause a problem so i mean i understand the rush but it is a concerning thing politicians will demonstrate or they think they're going to demonstrate. by jake you know i think most of the public this is a publicity stunt and i think it might but far from them but i'm definitely not surprised concerns have also been raised not only over the vaccines quality but its quantity leading to a number of u.s. states considering putting ethnic minorities 1st in line for the shot artist meter box takes a closer look. finally the miracle everyone has been waiting for covert 900 vaccines have started making their way around the world but while some sighed with relief most will have to hold their breath for a bit longer distribution turns out to be a bit more complicated than expected who needs it 1st who gets it 1st these people

even want it all these questions have served to bait especially in the us where americans have been split in surprise already groups based on their needs age and even race after health care workers and those living or working at long term health care facilities receive the 1st round of vaccines black hispanic and other minority residents will be prioritized over whites in the following 2 phases of distribution well that has raised a few eyebrows the c.d.c. points out that it's because minorities are 3 times more likely to die from cold complications however some medical workers who are already getting the jobs aren't excited to be at the top of the list and feel they are part of an experiment nursing staff feels as though they don't want to be somebody's science experiment or a guinea pig but nevertheless most americans are eager to get an ocular lated even if it means waiting in line i think it makes sense to give our most marginalized population back to me from birth and yeah my partner getting it when i turned. her

down i think it should go to critical 1st and then i have the opportunity i would so get vaccinated for sure and i think it's a good place to start in balance that out i would think the older population should get it 1st though 1st the priority list has also caused widespread anger that's are put frontline essential workers above those with high risk medical conditions heartless arrogant unelected c.d.c. bureaucrats have decided that the lives of elderly americans just don't count and while there are concerns over the rapid development of the vaccine those with cash to spare are willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars to jump the line we're getting a lot of calls a lot so they're hurting these. patients order might. or are requesting the vaccine. i'm kindly letting him know that you know we have to call judy to be able to.

hire you need prior to if you will and then afterwards 'd i'm doing my best to get it or all the patients that are part of my. anybody else who needs it california governor gavin newsom has even warned the state's elites against using their influence to get a hold of a job ahead of those who desperately need it those who think they can get ahead of the line and those who think because they have brazil says they have relationships that would allow them to do it we also will be monitoring that's very very closely although coming from him it rings a little hollow all those fancy dinners with healthcare officials after declaring a state wide shut down don't exactly inspire confidence in anything newsom says and the u.s. isn't the only country having a difficult time germany's vaccine distribution plans have also been met with scrutiny unlike the us not all doctors there ended up at the top of the list medical staff in the private sector as well as ambulance workers were not given top priority despite being on the front lines against the not only trying to launch

a number of high risk patients they're also on the front line when it comes to caring for grown or infected people nevertheless they are still lower on the priority list for vaccinations that's a risk because these practices form an important protective for the already heavily burdened hospitals german police have also insisted they should be higher on the list due to cost of exposure and the president has stressed the importance of parliamentarians getting the job as soon as possible to make sure the state is capable of running meanwhile the israeli government is getting some unwelcome scrutiny as the country begins to roll at vaccine shots palestinians living in the occupied territories have gotten the short end of the stick today the numbers of covert 1000 cases which is spreading like wildfire in gaza's refugee camps are telling of the kansas traffic situation here we call on the international community to immediately end the siege of gaza allow medical supplies in and allocates vaccines for the gaza strip where many face imminent death. while the arrival of

these vaccines does raise hopes for an end to the pandemic there is still a very long way to go. pharma giant asteroid and russia's galileo institute have wants clinical trials of a joint coronavirus vaccine this combines elements of jabs developed individually by the 2 sides. spoke with alexander ginsberg the director of the institute spoke with alexander ginsberg the director of the institute about how their backs differ from others we developed a vaccine from the start of receiving funding to registration really quite quickly in 5 months the main reason is that for 25 years or more we have been developing at the gum a layer institute a technological platform on which this vaccine preparation can be made we already had a wealth of experience not only the technology of how to do it but before that we had even worked out possible concentrations we knew all the dosages needed to obtain an optimal immune response with minimal side effects. the safety of the

vaccine has been fully proven on a very similar vaccine though not identical against not only a bowl of viruses but also the mers coronavirus so when we were working against coverage 19 we were able to use around 70 percent of an existing element one of the indicators by which the effectiveness of a vaccine is most easily measured is the presence of unseen bodies in the blood if we proceed from that's experimental data in a similar vaccine against a bowler this protective immunity lasted for 2 years we simply didn't have a long observation period. some of your opponents accuse you of not publishing reports on the 2nd and 3rd phases so about the 1st and 2nd phases we published not just anywhere but in the lancets and there's no secret that in 3 or 4 days' time a major english language article on the results of the 3rd phase will be ready. the pfizer vaccine needs to be transported at minus 70 degrees and yours at minus

$23.00 rate. minus 18 for now some months down the line i hope that we will be able to amend the registration certificates that this vaccine can be stored not at minus 18 but the household refrigerator temperature of plus. the side effects don't force you out of action there may be a rash headache muscle discomfort and i think the most noticeable effects may be your temps are going up to 58 degrees for 2 days did you take the vaccine yourself yes on march 30th along with all my employees and you're still alive not just alive but pretty active i vaccinated my 14 year old granddaughter so you violated your own instructions against vaccinating children that's outrageous you were ready to kill your entire family for the sake of a new vaccine i wasn't going to kill them but prove that the vaccine is completely safe. what is the difference between the oxford vaccine that is astra zeneca and

the gambling institute vaccine there are lots of differences but they're not significant oxford and arsenic a went from my point of view the classic part of working against pathogens our colleagues applied all the rules for creating influence of vaccines so the creation of a vaccine against covered 19 and it seems to me that the epidemiological features of this disease this pathogen were not quite accurately calculated the people at pfizer also understand this and have made great efforts to modify the r.n.a. so that it would not be recognized as far as i understand by protective proteins but i'm not sure with my colleagues most to solve all the problems on a large scale. british transport police have been deployed in london to stop a mass exodus of people trying to avoid a strict new locked out of northern england where many londoners are having aren't too pleased about it either i heard from some people in manchester. i think it is

a little bit concerning the mouth people who are accessing the call bit to the north the globe people of all. the advice they've been given and they gave everyone a cell is no. doubt what they were going to do for christmas so it could really on the stand how you can justify a journey but you've got to think really about the implications of. those people you're visiting obviously people want to get to the families in the live ones but i'm really not sure that we should believe in what is obviously a massive outbreak and getting to the regions and potentially taking the bodies with them i think people are very inconsiderate about when we leave the city. we don't realize that it's going to spread to the valley and across the whole of the country. in london long lines have formed outside supermarkets over concerns of food shortages in the run up to christmas here has been fueled by a combination of factors including a potential no deal bricks a structure tear for

a lockdown everywhere so it's not a so we can stop this getting into other places there's some there were already the message has been very clear and i think i want to reinforce it is state local we spoke to former british m.p. george galloway he says it's suspicious that the u.k. is reacting to the new strain of the virus only now when in fact it was identified months ago. i should tell you that sir patrick vallance says that this new mutant corona virus was identified last september and it's a couple of days before christmas the government council of the whole thing that is inherently suspicious if i tell you that on there a few months ago the british government was paying people to go out and dined in restaurants ito to help out they said we're spending billions of taxpayers' money actually big house of the bill in the restaurant for someone like me who can well

afford to pay for their own don't know we've gone from duck to look for years before christmas cancelling the whole thing it's been a shambles strong start to finish and the very expensive shambles no i said the government was talking up this we're dirt in order to divert attention from it's all cataclysmic fillion. members of the united states space for have finally been given a name one year after the elite branch of the armed forces was created and you think that after so long the top brass would be able to come up with something truly original but some can't help but think that they took inspiration from hollywood. soldiers sailors airmen marines and guardians will be

defending our nation. now set off the bomb immediately and we'll all be dead. now would be back what i just said.

still had the phones of dozens of al jazeera journalists have allegedly been hacked with israeli spy ware pressing questions about the security of apple devices details on that story and more after the us. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world the politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. we started talking about big point of dollars back in 2011 we've been pushing it telling people about a 10 dollars 100 dollars 1000 dollars 10000 dollars and still buy at these new all time high prices and the new york times washington d.c. c.n.n. were all pushing their. conspiracy theories and dissuading quotes from watching our

show as a result many people around the world mexico latin america asia everywhere got it in 100 countries that are broadcasted and they have made millions we've made all rounder 1000 millionaires a big point but not so much in the u.s. because the u.s. is blinkered by its love of keynesian economics. is dead. welcome back russia has expend the list of e.u. representatives banned from entering the country the move is a response to european sanctions against russian government figures which were imposed over the alleged poisoning of opposition figurehead i mix in a volley are to seal it turn go picks up the story. the russian diplomats have

called the punitive measures taken by europe against individuals that the e.u. is blaming for links to the alexina volly case unlawful and unacceptable besides this moscow is stressing that the european nations behind these sanctions have not shown anything to back it up both to russia and to other e.u. partners and so moscow has come up with the following measures in response on the basis of versa prosody the russian side has decided to expand the list to representatives of member states that are prohibited from entering the territory of the russian federation it includes those kind volved in escalating sanction rhetoric against russia within the on tuesday the ambassadors of sweden germany and france to moscow have been asked to pay a visit to the russian foreign ministry to be informed on russia's response to that unfriendly act by european nations that's how russia put said that is not in line

with the international law according to the russian side mainly because of the e.u. nations reluctance to cooperate and to respond to the multiple requests by moscow to get the materials and details on the devolving incident and all the medical and chemical research that has been undertaken during and following his treatment and the german sherry take clinic earlier the german foreign minister high called masa said that the sanctions were appropriate because russia failed to make any steps towards clarifying what happened with the opposition activists and like i said in response russia keeps blaming europe for complete unwillingness to cooperate with moscow on the matter a few months ago a passenger plane traveling from siberia to moscow had to urgently land because of the critical condition of a like scene of ali who was on board 1st the opposition activists was. treated and

then moved to berlin where of venture leave the german doctors said that he was poisoned with a nerve agent of the novel group moscow keeps sending requests to berlin demanding proof but isn't getting anything in response and one of the latest twists to the story alexina volley and a number of western media outlets published a report in which they blamed a group of russian secret agents for poisoning the kremlin critic that's something the russian federal security service called a provocation and firmly denied. the u.s. congress has now passed a long awaited $900000000000.00 coronavirus stimulus package the deal now just needs to be signed off by donald trump lawmakers struck the agreement over the weekend after months of negotiations i think 2nd relief fund since the start of the pandemic are to scale up and take a look at the finer details we've got a situation where not only are people dying on a daily basis but people's jobs are in jeopardy unemployment numbers are rising

however members of the u.s. congress are reassuring us that they have put together a relief package help is on the way moments ago in consultation with our committees the 4 leaders of the senate and a. final ocean agreement to the millions of small business owners who are worried their businesses would go on dear help is on the way to families struggling with less money. direct payments mean help is on the way the stimulus package will inject $900000000000.00 into the u.s. economy and for average americans that translates to a check of $600.00 now keep in mind that 6 $100.00 will be lessened for people who make more than $75000.00 per year now there will also be a $300.00 boost to federal unemployment benefits now this might sound like a lot for some but many americans look at this and say this is completely

underwhelming and are quite disappointed $600.00 is a slap in the face no one should be proud of making people so desperate that they're reduced to sing think you for a crumb 600 dollars 11000000000 dollars for a border wall $15000000000.00 for a space force we need a radical revolution of values for many americans it's going to be a quite gloomy holiday season jobless claims have shot up close to 8000000 americans have been driven into poverty 27000000 adults in the united states in december were living in a household in which there was food insecurity and not enough food on the table this is one story of a family that has suffered during the pandemic from the economic fallout i actually was getting unemployment when the endemic hit so that the endemic can't and i have not been able to get any late unemployment benefits am i going to pick up extension

so that helps but then i wasn't able to get anything else i still haven't since july i've lost my car i'm about to lose my apartment's it's that hard no christmas for my kids i've been taking part time jobs i've had 3 jobs and everything happens that i keep losing because of cove it there is also been a devastation of small businesses across the united states at this point we've got quite a bit of frustration from democrats and republicans about all the amount of time that it took to reach a stimulus a. negotiations dragged on for months many are questioning how things might change in january when joe biden comes into office biden is promising that he will turn things around regarding the pandemic in his 1st 100 days many people are looking at joe biden's words and saying let's wait and see a lot of frustration in the united states right now a lot of economic suffering a lot of a lot of people that are are very unsatisfied with this stimulus agreement artie's boom bust co-host christi i believe that the measures won't be enough to help all

americans i think this is a temporary and they just to tide us into next year essentially so this is good news for it really is not enough for many americans potentially facing eviction next year is unemployment and this wave of small business closures that's not going to stand so this is what a lot of measures i'm proteges jammed all into one proposal but the problem is that the total dollar amount isn't enough to split the cost so many ways that in the end i'm not sure how big of an impact this is actually going to make it's a temporary band-aid vary so much unlike the phase one deal of the trade deal we have with china where all the difficult meaningful issues have been left out in order to get it done so it's essentially buy more time to kick the can down the road and see the progress of this vaccine that everybody is betting on. a recent hack of al jazeera journalists was allegedly ordered by saudi arabia and the united arab emirates team looking into the breach also claims that it was carried out with

israeli made spyware in july and august 2020 government operatives used and so groups pigs and spyware to hack $36.00 personal phones belonging to journalists produces anchors and executives at al-jazeera the journalists were hacked by 4 pegasus operators including one operator monarchy that we attribute to saudi arabia and one operator sneaky kestrel that we attribute to the united arab emirates. the technology is was developed by israel's attack and spyware firm and a so group it's a tourist her previous hack scandals are worldwide including the targeting of journalists in morocco and politicians in spain in those cases it exploited able more ability and what's out and the messenger service has since sued n.s.o. group over that that they spy were firm and says that its technology is meant only for governments to track down terrorists and criminals in the latest al-jazeera case all the targeted devices turned out to be i phones which hadn't updated to the newest operating system other such i phones her main rollerball to the discovered

not malicious code apple prides itself on security but technology expert roger kay says it was only a matter of time before its phones were breached apple only had a reputation for being on hackable it wasn't ever really on people in the past. most of the focus. went to microsoft platforms because that's where all the money was but at some point the last you know 10 even 20 years that's come out of the wilderness and become colossus and there are powers a lot of very interesting platforms there's also. that have been hacked i think twice now from the us. were pretty good tools get out you into the wilderness are usable. by others and you can be modified by them so. socially hacking it's become kind of an industry lastly we bring you some world
