i might do in a moment to talk about them in the 1st. film . from. the from. president bush has for congress to reassess the. payments for americans instead of embarking foreign aid. to. teach them to. live. in the meantime the incoming u.s. president a tough response to the recent massive cyber attack on government agencies pointing the finger at russia and claiming donald trump. all some program when you talk to alexander ginsberg. he says he has

full confidence. i vaccinated my 14 year old granddaughter so you violated your own instructions against vaccinating children. you were raised 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. get reaction from people in manchester. city of responsible by just talking everyone on this i'm really not sure if you believe. live from moscow thanks for joining us tonight here on r.t. international kids welcome to the book. is calling on congress to make changes to

the much for $900000000000.00 bill you call it a disgrace for not putting the american people's interests including many. provisions the president wants individual payments increased from $600.00 to $2000.00. congress found plenty of money for foreign countries lobbyists and special ijaz while sending the bare minimum to the american people who need it it wasn't their fault i am asking congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculous lilo $600.00 to $2000.00 or $4000.00 for a couple of conservatives have been urging president trump vetoed the bill because as well as the cash and rent a to help struggling with there are also elements which have nothing to do with the pandemic including racing rules and even a section on the succession if you poll expense you can look at what's being mocked ha louis the warring sides in congress have finally set aside some of their

differences and agreed to dish out $900000000000.00 in covert 19 relief for families and businesses but the $600.00 stimulus checks which are half of what people got back in april have left many underwhelmed one time team in $600.00. this is a joke and jobless no health insurance this isn't going to cut it congress listening some senators even took offense at people questioning their life saving bill always will help. it's a trillion dollars for god's sakes what is that $1000000.00 and. there is no money fairy we don't have this money we don't have 5 percent of it sandra we had to borrow it is real help will it be enough i think it will be but we're just going to have to wait and see but the covert relief package didn't come alone the absence of the money fairy didn't stop congress from slapping on

a $1.00 trillion dollar spending bill which combined with the covert bill made the overall document over 5 and a half 1000 pages long the behemoths took so long to upload to the internet that congressmen only received it on the day of the vote and it's kind of hard to believe they managed to read the whole thing before passing it congress is expected to vote on the 2nd largest bill in u.s. history to buy 5 trillion dollars and as of about 1 pm members don't even have a legislative text of it yet for whuffie a congressional leaders refused to put any legislation on the floor to be considered and scrutinized and amended now they release a $5593.00 page bill with no opportunity to read it let alone amend it no responsible legislators should vote for such a thing. if you take a closer look at the bill you can see there's a lot more than cold relief in there military spending for example was more of a talking point than the pandemic and words like missile aircrafts and munition

appeared far more times than anything related to health care masks weren't even mentioned once in the document foreign aid also proved to be a high priority billions of dollars are said to be poured into countries like ukraine israel and cambodia funds that could have been spent on domestic needs and then there's a whole bunch of other issues that were deemed very crucial like ensuring the integrity and fairness of the election sorry horse racing how could that sports survive without money from the government also investing in general programs is something the u.s. just can't do without be it programs in pakistan or commissions on determining gender equality in statues and even the dialogue reincarnation gets mentioned in the bill because in case you forgot he can't get reincarnated without u.s. taxpayer dollars this jumbled mess of spending proposals caused even some senators to trash the bill. tonight i voted no against the suppose it could relieve bill because it sells out billions of dollars to foreign governments the sudan gypsum

military not more important than american citizens and while trump is expected to sign the document later this week many are already calling on him to veto the bill don't drum you must veto of this farce relieve bill this isn't a stimulus package this is a message for and. every american left and right should be calling for a veto on the stimulus deal which provides more funding to foreign governments and turmeric an arts centers than to their merican people covert relief might be badly needed but while $600.00 why do some good for americans in a tough spot senators are obviously willing to put a lot more money behind their own agendas legal analyst and come up with a lot else says efforts would be better spent ending locked ells instead of paying out to fix their consequences. if you look where the expenditures went look we know what this is this is nothing but a con it's a ruse it's

a chance to to provide special interests and special issues the money that normally wouldn't be able to be earmarked this is guaranteed to provide monies that would normally not be able to be available but now they are which is a christmas tree in the idea that you take something you slap on benefits and expenditures and bills but america needs something so we hold the american public hostage in the meantime they get a pittance of what they would normally gotten before but maybe rather than giving all this money for covert relief why don't we just remove the lockdowns wonder we remove the dish shackles because businesses are under these most draconian measures why don't you do that instead of just give money here's your 600 bucks maybe 1200 bucks now leave me alone be happy and shut up. u.s. president elect joe biden is vowing to respond to the recent cyber attack on u.s.

government agencies which he's strongly suggested was carried out or russia and his user lacks leadership or donald trump initial indications including from secretary pump a of secretary of state attorney general william barr suggest that russia russia is responsible for this breach this assault happened on donald trump's watch when he wasn't watching it still has a responsibility as president of to defend american interests for the next 4 weeks . rest assured that even if he does not take it seriously i will joe biden used his speech for the holidays to americans as president elect to blame donald trump for much of what is wrong in the country and not surprisingly once again russia seems to be the scapegoat as the united states transitions from one presidential administration to another now joe biden essentially argued that russia

was responsible for an alleged hack in which a number of federal agencies in the united states as well as u.s. companies had their data compromised and he said that donald trump had been responsible for weakening u.s. cyber security and that he would reverse those policies and he also promised there would be a response to russia's activity we don't sit here. we're going to strike you with a nuclear weapon. so let us to term with the extent of the damage use and i promise you who responds now joe biden seems to be taking some speculations as fact no proof has ever been presented that russia is responsible for this and we've already heard from problem spokesman dmitri pascoe who said that russia was not involved and that the country is not involved in any such attacks generally now furthermore it's interesting to note donald trump said that it could be china who was responsible for the attack and that blame always seems to be the

priority in response to instances like this the cyber attack is far greater in the fake news media than in 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 earlier biden's pick for secretary of energy said that biden's team really has no idea who is behind the attack we don't know fully. what happened the extent of it and frankly we don't know fully 1st sure who did it but it seems these other voices are not being heard as members of both the democratic and republican camps in the united states are rushing to blame russia once again as the united states faces a transition of power from wanted ministration in the white house to another fears of russia are being asked a latent leading us libertarian party come by and it was but addict so biden needs

to readjust his rhetoric to me that sounds like he's still in campaign mode he needs to be in presidential mode i can imagine donald trump is hard to work with but we need an adult in the room and we need for president elect biden to prepare to lead our country and to work towards peace with other nations not trying to score more political points at the expense of poor foreign relations a lot of us here in america and russia we grew up thinking you nuclear war was inevitable we thought not only would it happen but both sides would lose and probably the whole world would suffer and many people would die we should be thanking god every day that there never was a nuclear war worldwide and instead of trying to rekindle the cold war and create animosity between sides we should be trying to work together so i don't know

for sure what president elect biden has in mind he could be stuck in the cold war mentality and needs to be pulled out of that that's what i hope some of his newer advisors will do if he has any such. folly joints astra zeneca and russia. have launched the clinical trials of a joint coronavirus vaccine that is to come by elements of the jobs they've upped individually by the 2 sides auntie's on time cross all skis work with an exam the guinness book the director of the gavel to institute about how the vaccine differs from others. we develop 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 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 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'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 with some of your opponents accuse you of not publishing reports on the 2nd and 3rd phases so about the 1st and 2nd phase as we published not just anywhere but in the one sits 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 for

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'll 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 discomfort and i think the most noticeable effect 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 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 us 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 where the my colleagues most to solve all the problems on a large scale the u.k. health secretary has called thousands of londoners irresponsible awfully opted for last minute trips outside the capital to avoid a strict looked out some residents in the places they're fleeing to aren't too

happy 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 i think a lot of people have lost confidence in the advice they've been given and they gave everyone a cell is no. doubt what they're going to do for christmas so i can really understand how you can justify a journey but you've got to think really about the implications it does have on those people who have visited obviously people want to get to their families and their loved ones but i'm really not sure that we should be leaving london where there's obviously a massive outbreak and going into the regions and potentially taking the virus with them i think people are very inconsiderate about. leaving the city of london they don't realise that it's going to spread very well the whole of the country. but this comes after a highly infectious mutation of covert was the tech there in southern england and the british government's chief scientific officer says it's also been detected

elsewhere the new variant is spread around the country it's localised in some places but we know there are cases everywhere so it's not as though 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 meanwhile in london long queues of forming outside supermarkets over concerns of food shortages in the run up to christmas fear has been fuelled by a combination of factors including a potential no deal breaker stricter lockdown regulations and border closures because of the new coronavirus strain we spoke to former british m.p. george galloway he says it's because the u.k. is reacting to a new strain of the virus only now when in fact it was discovered 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 got 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 restaurant ito to help out they said we spent billions of taxpayers' money actually didn't have the bill in the restaurant for someone like me to go for it to pay for their own don't know we've gone from that to look for before christmas cancelling the whole thing it's been there shambles strong start to finish and the very expensive showgirls no i said the government was talking up this we had dogs in order to divert attention from which all cataclysmic fillion of. dozens of journalists at the qatar based news that like al-jazeera had their

smartphones hacked according to cyber security researchers in canada the team looking into the breach believes it happened on the orders of saudi arabia and the united arab emirates using israeli made spyware. in july and august 2020 government operatives used n.s.o. groups pigs and spyware to hack 36 personal phones belonging to journalists producers 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 and so group is known for the other side was and scandals worldwide including the targeting of journalists in the rocko and politicians in spain and those cases are exploited a vulnerability in whatsapp leading to the messenger service suing the firm and so group though says its technology is used by governments to track down terrorists and criminals well in the hours iraq all the targeted devices turned out to be i

phones which hadn't been updated to the newest operating system could listen in through the built in marker phone take pictures with a camera and access locations and passwords we spoke with former british intelligence officer philip ingram he says he's really behind the malware has a track record of helping saudi spies. the n.s.o. group they've been selling the software for quite some time and in fact in 2000 maintained 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 government they're only supposed to sell it to governments resource 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 business software specifically targets of 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 and apple were refusing to give them the codes to get into it and then all of a sudden the caucus disappeared because a company most to get into it was one of these really companies start by former israeli intelligence officers and any devices transmitting anything along even if you believe that you're using a secure and the bottom line is someone somewhere can listen into the u.s. has imposed restrictions on exports the scores of russian and chinese companies accused of having military ties for a lot of american companies will have to apply for special licenses the sale of goods or technology the department 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 flag indicators such as those related to communist chinese military companies

identified by the department of defense. well the u.s. department of commerce has put 103 entities on the list and includes 58 from china and 45 from russia they include arms manufacturers research into the suits on the russian state phone that wills so use rocket russia space agency has sent a letter to nasser 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 of the russian and chinese governments have 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 blome delays

normalization and significantly hinders the process of breaking this deadlock that is some of the 3 mantle to our bilateral relations with some time 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 and the cause of serious harm to the well being and interests of the people of all countries including residents of the united states i think we should interpret anything coming out now and before biden takes office as technical measures transmix for his benefit or the benefit of the republicans don't necessarily what biden ordained 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 dialogue and 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 take a look now at some world news in brief. noisy rally has taken place in barcelona where people are angry about the latest rules affecting bars and restaurants some demonstrators took a more cheek you approach to expressing their discontent. you know. here there are locals singing in hawaii as a ball came before them even want to stay at home and there's been a series of mine earthquakes in the region many clearly couldn't resist the.

spectacle. of members of the united states space force of finally been given a name one year after the branch of the armed forces was created you might think that after so long the u.s. top brass would be able to come up with something truly original. soldiers sailors airmen marines and guardians will be defending our nation. our. media and we'll all be dead. now or people like what i just said.

was in the hawks next throwing you the latest on your songs case as well as how a sea of spice trash is becoming a very big problem that's even our back in 30 minutes with the latest headlines join us again that.

worlds apart of. common ground. the world is driven by a dream shaped and person. thinks . we are here to ask.

greetings and sell you. you know while most of us have been distracted by a presidential election temper tantrums covert vaccinations and senators mark warner as and mitch mcconnell's rather tepid efforts at pretending to actually do something to help the american people through a feeble stimulus package the slow creep of their surveillance state has not relented and has been steadily rising across the country over the last year you see it appears law enforcement agencies have been busy buying up and implementing surveillance state goodies allow them to see you when you're sleeping know when you're awake and know if you've been battered good like some sick kind of orwellian santa clause take jackson mississippi for instance where and b c news is reporting that city leaders here are expanding police surveillance powers to allow residents and business owners to send live feeds for many types of

security cameras including popular doorbell cameras directly to the city's real time command center so it's. sort of like batman and lucius fox's use of cell phones to catch the joker at the end of the dark night except they use your ringer home security cameras instead when describing the city's new surveillance tech jackson mayor talk while the mumba told local media that quote what we'll be able to do is get a location draw a circle around it and pull up every camera within a certain radius of someone who's running out of a building we can follow and trace them of someone says i want my ring door camera to be used well we'll be able to use it i mean c'mon lady jonah what could possibly go wrong with that idea i mean the police would never ever ever misuse surveillance technology. we all know they would just as the good people of baltimore recently discovered that the police outright lied to the.
