granddaughter so you violated your own instructions against vaccinating children. who 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. in the north of england sees an influx of londoners fleeing a regional war we get reaction to that from people in manchester. just packing everyone on the trains i'm really not sure all of it should be leaving . a massive outbreak. just after midnight in. right here in moscow this wednesday december the 23rd and i mean in the mail this is r t international. u.s. president elect joe biden is vowing to quote respond in kind to the recent cyber
4:02 pm
attack on u.s. government agencies which he strongly suggesting was curried delegate by russia as well. initial indications including from secretary pump aoe secretary of state attorney general william barr suggest that russia russia is responsible for this breach this is all happened on donald trump's watch when he wasn't watching he still has responsibility as president to to defend american interests for the next 4 weeks but rest assured that even if he does not take it seriously i will. but live tour u.s. correspondent killam up and strong words even fiery rhetoric there from biden kaleb on an issue where evidence has been lacking take us through what he had to say that
4:03 pm
well the american public was just a draft by the president elect he began by talking about coded 19 his plans to turn things around his holiday wishes to the contrary from there i he got into allegations about this security breach and he said that he feels trump is responsible he said that trump sensually had at fired certain security officials who are overseeing cyber security etc and that trump was responsible for the fact that this breach happened but that he blames russia for the breach itself this is what we heard from president elect joe biden we don't sit here. we're going to strike you with a nuclear weapon. so lead us to terms with the extent of the damage use and i promise you. now at this point joe biden is saying that if trump does not hold russia accountable for this breach
4:04 pm
that he himself will when he is sworn in and takes the office of president now no proof has so far been supplied that russia is to blame and we've already heard from the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pascoe saying that russia did not have any involvement in this activity however that does not stop joe biden from speaking with almost absolute certainty as if he himself knows exactly who is responsible for this attack and he went into some detail describing what the consequences would or wouldn't be take a listen. we don't sit here and say we're going to strike you the nuclear weapons. lead us to terms with the extent of the damage use the approach to be response now at this point viewers may recall that wiki leaks vault 7 did reveal that there was
4:05 pm
actually a program created by american intelligence to create what they called digital fingerprints that could carry out attacks and digital attacks and leave digital fingerprints making it look like other people were involved and other entities other than american intelligence may very well have that as well and that was something that was really revealed by wiki leaks with vault 7 however it seems that the instinct of certain figures within the u.s. political establishment to blame russia 1st is very well intact. it is through all of us are u.s. corresponding been live in new york. well on monday the u.s. president elect received his 1st dose of pfizer's covert vaccine he got the shelf life on t.v. to encourage others to get the job when it is more widely available joe biden also commended the trump teen's efforts and getting the shot produced so quickly. he
4:06 pm
moves duration deserves some credit for units off the ground operation were very it's one of the you're going to have a graphic so you show up at the hospital there's a lot of you going to write a scene from that while you do a needle and on the arm however at least 2 health care workers in alaska develop symptoms after they got the pfizer job with one being kept under hospital observation for a number of months the cases come after the u.k. medical regulator issued a warning about giving the vaccine to anyone with a history of older g.'s it will continue to be ruled out in the last and this time we have no plans in changing our vaccine schedule are due seeing their regimen this is all kind of part of what we've been looking for and expecting and looking out for we are making sure the health care providers know about this we've been hearing from health professionals almost getting their view i spoke to kendrick a doctrine or 3 who finds the latest developments concerning. we're going to expect
4:07 pm
reactions but this seems to be quite early and i think it's something that people should be quite worried that we don't know who's most likely to have a problem are there some people we just definitely should not be vaccinating he said so i think from a medical understanding point being left with them well just want 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 taking it 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. or concerns have also been raised over the vaccines a veil ability you know that's leading to a number of u.s. states considering putting ethnic minorities 1st in line for the shot and those who aren't bike symmetry poke takes a closer look. finally the miracle everyone has been waiting for covert 900
4:08 pm
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 once it all these questions have started to bait especially in the us where americans have been split into priority 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 to phases of distribution well that has raised a few eyebrows the c.d.c. points out that is because minorities are 3 times more likely to die from code 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 science experiment or a guinea pig but nevertheless most americans are eager to get an ocular needed even
4:09 pm
if it means waiting in line i think it makes sense to give our most marginalized population back to me 1st and i my partner getting it when i turn. her down i think it should go to critical 1st and then i have the opportunity i will get so i'll get vaccinated for sure and i think it's a good place to start to balance it 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. so they're birdies. and you order my.
4:10 pm
or are requesting the vaccine kindly kindly letting him know that you know we have an ethical duty to be able to vaccinate. the people that. need prior d. if you will and then afterwards i'm doing my best to get it for all the patients are a part of my anybody else who needs it california governor gavin newsom has even warned the states to leave 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 results is all 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
4:11 pm
scrutiny unlike the u.s. 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 treat a large number of high risk patients they're also on the front line when it comes to caring for corona infected people nevertheless they are still lower on the priority list for vaccinations that's a risk because these practices form an important protective wall 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 catastrophic situation here we call on the international community
4:12 pm
to immediately end the siege of gaza allow medical supplies in and allocate 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 astra zeneca. institute herb launched clinical trials of a joint coronavirus vaccine the aim being to combine elements of the jobs developed individually by 2 sides. chris solves case but with alexander ginzburg the director institute about how their vaccine differs 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 alay institute a technological platform on which this vaccine preparation can be made we already
4:13 pm
had a wealth of experience not only the technology of how to do it but before that we had even were 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 the not identical against not only ebola viruses but also the mers coronavirus so when we were working against covered 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 and to bodies in the blood if we proceed from that experimental data in a similar vaccine against the dollar this protective immunity lasted for 2 years we simply didn't have a longer 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
4:14 pm
just anywhere but in the lancet and it'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 to the household refrigerator temperature of plus 2. the side effects don't force you out of action there may be a rash headache muscle discomforts and i think the most noticeable effects may be your temperature going up to 38 degrees for 2 days to 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
4:15 pm
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 gamma lanes to do vaccine there are a lot of differences but they're not significant oxford and as to seneca went from my point of view along the classic path of working against airborne pathogens our colleagues applied all the rules for creating influenza vaccines to 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 whether my colleagues most to solve all the problems on a large scale let's bring it to britain where the u.k. health secretary has called thousands of londoners irresponsible after they opted
4:16 pm
for last minute trips i'd sell a big help at all to avoid a strip lock or some residence in the places they're fleeing to or into helping either we spoke to people in manchester. i think it is a little bit concerning the amount of people who are excess in london called little to the north think a lot of people lost confidence and the advice they've been given and they gave everyone a chalice notice. 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 it does have on those people who have businesses obviously people want to get to the families and the loved ones but i'm really not sure that we should be leaving london what is obviously a massive outbreak and going into the regions and potentially taking the virus with them i think the people of london are very inconsiderate about when we leave the city of london we don't realize that it's going to spread the barrier across the
4:17 pm
whole of the country yet what's being spoken about there is the highly infectious mutation of covert which was that active in southern england the british government's chief scientific adviser also sees it's been detected elsewhere. the new variant is spread around the country it's localized in some places but we know it's got there are cases everywhere so it's not as though we can stop this getting into other places there's some they're ready the message has been very clear and i think i want to reinforce it is state local take a look out to london here long queues forming outside supermarkets over concerns of food shortages in the run up now just days before christmas fear has been fueled by a combination of factors including a potential no deal breakers it stricter lockdown regulations on border closures because of the new krona virus strain we spoke to former british m.p. george galloway he says it's peculiar the u.k.
4:18 pm
is reacting to the new strain of the virus only know when in fact it was 'd discovered months ago. i should tell you that sir patrick vallance says the. mutant corona virus was identified last september and it's a couple of days before christmas the government council the whole thing that is inherently suspicious if i tell you that only a few months ago the british government was paying people to go out in restaurants eat out to help out they say that we spent billions of taxpayers' money actually in the bill in the restaurant for someone like me who could well afford to pay for their own don't know we've gone from that to look for years before christmas cancelling the whole thing it's been a shambles strong start to finish and the very expensive shambles now i said the
4:19 pm
government was talking about this. in order to divert attention from its cataclysmic fill you go. get us move the program on dozens of journalists the qatar base. news network al-jazeera of how their smartphones hacked according to cyber security researchers encountered a team looking into the breach believes it happened on the orders of saudi arabia the united arab emirates using israeli made spy work in july and august 2020 government operatives used n.s.o. groups pegasus spy web 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 let's take a closer look at the israeli software firm believed to be involved in this whole
4:20 pm
group is known for other signs scandals worldwide including the targeting of journalists in morocco and politicians in spain in those cases it exploited a vulnerability in what's up leading to the messenger service to sue the firm but n.s.o. groups say as its technology is used by governments to track terrorists and criminals well in the al-jazeera all the targeted the faces turned out to be i phones which hadn't updated to the newest operating system the hackers could listen in through the built in microphone they could take pictures with the camera and access locations and passwords i spoke with former british intelligence officer philip ingram he sees the israeli firm behind them all or has a track record of helping saudi spies. the n.s.o. group they have been selling the software for quite some time and in fact in 2019 there was some accusations that their software have been used in the tracking of jamal khashoggi and they then withdrew their support from the saudi arabian
4:21 pm
government they're only supposed to set up the government's response to some of the organizations that have got a moral and ethical code they have been accused of not doing that across the globe and that's what's brought them to attention of a number of the civil rights organizations i think this bit of software specifically targets of apple devices and if you remember a couple of years ago there was a big legal debate about whether the f.b.i. could get access to. a terrorist apple device in the states and it went through the courts were refusing to give them the codes to get into it and then all of a sudden the caucus disappears because a company must get into it it was one of these really companies stuff by former israeli intelligence officers any device transmitting anything along even if you believe that you're using a secure up the bottom line is someone somewhere can listen into. the watching or the international still ahead
4:22 pm
4:23 pm
conservative. change with. the conservatives. hello again ok we're back with a story we are following closely the u.s. has imposed restrictions on exports to scores of russian chinese companies accused of having military ties so that means from no all american companies will have to apply for special licenses to sell those firms goods or technology the department
4:24 pm
recognizes the importance of leveraging its partnerships with u.s. and global companies to come but efforts by china and russia to divert u.s. technology for their destabilizing military programs including by highlighting red flags indicates is such as those related to communist chinese military companies identified by the department of defense. the u.s. department of commerce has put 103 entities a list 58 from china 45 russia being clued research institutes arms manufacturers are the russian state firm that builds soyuz rockets russia's space agency has sent a letter to nasa expressing fears for the future of the international space station the restrictions imposed by the u.s. on russian enterprises jeopardize the future of the international space station program could you please inform us how nasa will react to this development so as to avoid any risks to the i assess program the russian and chinese governments have
4:25 pm
condemned the u.s. move saying it's likely to further damage relations. this is yet another aggressive step against russia we can only regret that another outgoing us administration has decided to deal a blow to already very poor russian used bilateral relations each blow delays normalization and significantly hinders the process of breaking this deadlock that is some of the 3 mantle to our bilateral relations you don't sometimes the united states on the pretext of national security has been using state power to constantly abuse export control measures for the purpose of tracking down foreign companies this is a serious breach of free trade rules serious threat to the security of global industrial and supply chains because of serious harm to the well being and interests of the people of all countries including residents of the united states then we should interpret anything coming out now and before biden takes office as technical measures transmix for his benefit or the benefits of the republicans
4:26 pm
don't necessary what biden or dane democrats will continue to do china's does we acting in a constrained manner with chinese and foreign minister saying that the united states should choose by a lot in consultation with china instead of pushing that septa bull sessions against the chinese companies by over stretching the notion of national security opportunity suppression after all we have all seen what the us has done to its global competitors 1st we see unfair treatment to french else wrong japan's to sheeba and now we see china's highway t.g.i. and its cetera i think whoever we are rife with the yes we did next to be suppressed let's finish up with some world news and brief. a noisy rally in barcelona where people are angry about the latest. ruling affecting bars and restaurants some of the demonstrators even took a cheeky approach to expressing their discontent.
4:27 pm

4:29 pm
so in the list that. the legacy of the sky if the so food industry is successful it will create more jobs it will create more value added it will create more growth so i don't see why we shouldn't also fight for the interest something into st outset that we are british and we want regulation i was the industry and if we don't behave zinnias penalty just fine. back you need something definition a little bit company but i thought it was more likely to give the actual cover some of the best so we keep going up with the family about it sheesh more. the injustice in japanese and i. don't mind the just. the cold cold the shouting most generally
4:30 pm
