of civilians in iraq. war crime. being released and the. president it's like the u.s. doesn't. consider. this decision. just after may day in phoenix 7 pm and 10 at night here in moscow this december the 24th welcome to r.t. international. a historic moment the u.k. and the european union have sealed the braggs a trade deal just days before the new year deadline it's not all fully signed off yet still needs to be ratified by both sides but it is expected to go much smoother than the negotiations that will be e.u.
2:02 pm
commission chief. plenty of concessions preventing a possible no deal i'd come on the implications that would bring on the british side pm boris johnson seem to think it was essentially win win for westminster it is up to us to get. and a newly and truly independent nation to realize the i'm in city of this moment and to make the most of it as we knew in any case if there would have been a heartbreaks it it would not have been good for both sides but it would have hit the united kingdom harder than the european union with all its might 450000000 citizens therefore from a position of strength if we were able to come forward with the most comprehensive agreement with ever had well let's take a look at how the u.k. and the e.u. will cooperate from january 1st there will be no tar of sun each other's goods are
2:03 pm
no limit on trading new border checks have been agreed on too while the u.k. has pulled out of the erasmus student scheme between universities also politicians will return to westminster to vote on the deal on december 30th giving them just under 48 hours to pour over the details and you are. joining me here in the studio discuss whether the braves adventure is now a fully dolman dusted this is been such a long road britain's voted to leave the european bloc but can 2016 ever since and they've been patiently waiting to see what kind of threats that they've got a sigh of relief for many they got one with a deal of course we all know it's been a roller coaster to get here to campaign for bracks that said it's going to be plain sailing it's a piece of cake one politician said this is something that gets resolved over a cup of afternoon tea that was just one of many overly optimistic statements i
2:04 pm
think on the matter no deal would be better than a vast deal i believe it will be. negotiate these terms will be. contrary to your own of course you know it was in the european union's interest just as much is that . there is no plan when they do because we are going to get a great. the free trade agreement that we will have to do with the european union should be one of the easiest in human history while easy i think we can say it was not we've seen in the past locked horns with brussels parliament gridlocked david cameron resigned to reason may gave up boris johnson came in but it did take him a love and months to wrangle 'd this deal so it really i mean it did seem a bit doomed from the start just to clarify i want to just put it out there on the record is that briggs hasn't been put to bed can we forget all about it while brussels says that now finally everyone can move on from it's in the past let's bury it johnson celebrating but maybe
2:05 pm
a bit prematurely because they're all still huddles 1st off it does have to get ratified by the british parliament westminster is on christmas holiday but it will be recalled on the 30th of december to debate that. but you know what considering that johnson's own m.p.'s in the past have voted against him on his breadth of plans i'm sure there's some nervousness and then of course it also needs to be approved across the channel by both the e.u. council and the parliament time is against them 27 nation states need to agree to this they need to scrutinise 500 pages it needs to be translated into 23 languages so really there is still a considerable task ahead it would usually take months as a process then of course there's the question mark on how bumpy the ride will be once the rules are in place from january to fuss i think it's fair to say that there will be teething problems more than anyone i'd love to say goodbye i'm putting you on the shelf but i think it might be too early to save up for stanton's
2:06 pm
very optimistic but he has to be this is essentially what got him elected so it would be. it would be career destroying for him it would certainly be humiliating bracks it has always been polarizing there was never going to be a deal that everyone was happy about but while boris is quite right as you said celebrating others have already hit out at him over this deal. it sounds like the british team have dropped the ball before the line no wonder they want a christmas eve announcement to hide the fisheries sell out today amidst all the debates and details of the trade deal one fundamental truth remains that at the time of global insecurity we're no longer part of one of history's greatest and most noble project bringing nations together to build peace at the ruins of war this is a disastrous brags it scorches farmer it's and like all other aspects of bragg's it for students cortlandt against their will so maybe
2:07 pm
a political victory for johnson but certainly does not a huge fan club around him at the moment a deal might have been reached spot it's just the 1st stop toward sort of bidding adieu to breakfast if i can mix my european british metaphors and i still think we will see that us throws up a few surprises you know a french political commentator sees the u.k.'s withdrawal could pave the way for other nations to break away from the e.u. . you know when there is a deal of 2000 pages you can feed it in and out. with these are going to read it in detail so maybe the translator but. you can't really comment on the reading it is a day notice indeed that. of the mystic. because he's been negotiating in a position of strength and you know if he's willing to contemplate a new deal and the other. 2 years but yes. things i don't know
2:08 pm
exactly what. the dating the main thing is that does because. it does because. you can do with it want to. raise it if you want and you can do. they're not all in the same position of strength. as the. indignation is much much stronger it's almost a village and i don't think european project is just. trying to make you know. very different people's. living a program on argentina has officially registered russia the vaccine has been approved for emergency use by the country's regulator based on results of clinical trials here in russia a plane carrying argentina's 1st batch arrived in buenos aires supply agreement
2:09 pm
moscow will provide enough doses for up to 10000000 people earlier this month the argentine president expressed confidence in the russian vaccine saying he will be the 1st to take it. and would have. in argentina some raise doubts about the quality of russian science to everyone's downswings sputnik vs here in argentina i would be the 1st one to take that vaccine because i have no doubt about the quality of the vaccine. as well as sputnik v argentina has also signed up for vaccine supplies from. the united nations code but exposure to the country's regulator has approved the use of the fellows or bio vaccine to despite all in going talks on on but the argentine health minister has criticized 5 years approach to the negotiations they asked us for a law giving them immunity and the congress gave them that law but then phases
2:10 pm
negotiate is not the local ones but those in the us started asking for more conditions they want to sponsor a new law they want to the president to sign the contract instead of me the conditions started getting somewhat unacceptable government of argentina is thinking that this is going to be perhaps the most efficient way to bring an effective vaccine to its citizens so looks like they're essentially. betting on or putting their money on on the russian vaccine the fact that pfizer had those kinds of conditions and that the government of argentina was not pleased with those conditions i think there's going to be a lot of that kind of thing i think that there is going to be an awful lot of questions about liability and about potential long term side effects and the long term efficacy of the vaccines out sounds to me who i didn't like the deal that pfizer was giving them and was was looking elsewhere and i think that's why they turned toward the russian vaccine well more grim milestone is helping. russia
2:11 pm

2:14 pm
right a difficult winter months a poll by the u.k.'s doctors' association of a 1000 frontline staff claims 70 percent of them have no idea when the get the vaccine the survey includes local doctors emergency specialists and those giving the injections this should be equally of excess. as far as extradition is concerned in health care facilities to the stop an equal access to rich nation it's increasing their mental stress a poke at work was urgently needed to make sure that they could directors and people who need it 1st get it 1st since the start of the pandemic hundreds of n.h.s. and social care workers have died after contracting cope with 19 front line workers were initially due to be vaccinated in the 1st rollout of n.h.s. jobs but the government rethink means hospitals are prioritizing care home staff the elderly and the chest stuff vaccination other than to prevent vaccine waste which will hopefully be able to accelerate early in the new year as more vaccine
2:15 pm
becomes available in the u.k. more than half of england's 135 n.h.s. trusts us still waiting to receive deliveries of the job 3 weeks after it was approved. for the health care workers should be given according to a plan so that the police who are more wonderful get it forced. to start their difficult to do because no place. is. and most probably kid police there is just us been done already all we need to do is to have a unified primary a 2nd to be careless jill kelley to audit at increased risk while some politicians are also joining medics in calling for the government to put front line workers 1st in practice as well as policy any n.h.s. stuff like he's come into contact with a covert positive patient should be prioritized for the vaccine whether they are clinical soft or not primary care stuff absolutely can and should be vaccinated
2:16 pm

2:17 pm
2:18 pm
talk. but whistleblowers can go whistle the little troll does issued to this apartment but the spike calls from rights activist defenders of freedom of speech like edward snowden being that all of these same tellingly going u.s. president has raised concerns at the united nations by giving clemency to 4 former contractors of the block water private military company no they were jailed for their involvement in the must killing of civilians in iraq people in that country have condemned the decision the government. the ministry believes that this decision did not take into account the seriousness of the crime committed and was inconsistent with the u.s. administration's declared commitment to the values of human rights justice and the rule of law and regrettably ignores the dignity of the victims and the feelings and
2:19 pm
rights of their relatives because the courts of the infamous blackwater company killed citizens a nice to a square today we hear they've been released on the personal orders of president trump it's like the u.s. doesn't care for spilled iraqi blood we call on the united nations the international community and human rights organizations to intervene immediately and condemn these killers lethal problem it seems political considerations prevailed over a legal and judicial once and this decision president trump should have taken into account their relationship with iraq especially since iraq has a strategic cooperation agreement with the united states in all fields this will affect trump's political situation and his legacy there has been widespread outrage about the trump administration's decision to grant clemency to some members of the blackwater military contracting company these were guards who were employed by blackwater who killed civilians in iraq. and i wonder if it appears that.
2:20 pm
they were dead bodies everywhere losing the argument going to anyone with 2 people in authority among the dead bodies lying on the street that's who it was in the middle of night 7 years old. paul slow evan liberty and dust. unheard were convicted for manslaughter and the individual nicholas slotting who opened fire and 1st started shooting into the crowd of iraqi civilians he was convicted of 1st degree murder but now the white house is letting all of them off they will no longer be in prison serving their
2:21 pm
sentences they have been pardoned this is the feeling of the white house about why they made this decision when the convoy attempted to establish a blockade outside the green zone the situation turned violent which resulted in the unfortunate deaths and injuries of iraqi civilians further prosecutors recently disclosed more than 10 years after the incident that the lead iraqi investigator who prosecutors relied heavily on so very far that there were no incision victims and to collect evidence may have had sonny's to insurgent groups himself now at this point there is widespread outrage this seems like the trump administration is almost approving of the killing of iraqi civilians 2 children were among the 14 people in the crowd who died as a result of their gun fire but at this point people are also looking at the fact that trumps education secretary betsy to vos is the sister of the founder of
2:22 pm
blackwater erik prince now there's also been a lot of outrage about who is not on the list of trump's pardons among the 15 people pardon and 5 sentence commute meant the names that were missing that many were optimistic and hopeful about were julian a son john edward snowden these prominent whistleblowers had many people calling for the trump white house to grant them clemency mungo's who called for them were not just activists and advocates of civil liberties and for the protection of whistleblowers but also representatives of the united nations take a listen if president trump is true as well yes i think the least thing to could do is to end the suffering the purity the songs to pardon him the man who fell for it enough. the interest of the public will dwarf donald trump since your given pardons to people please consider pardoning those who at great personal sacrifice expose the deception and criminality of those in the deep state now trump still has time to grant a pardon to edward snowden and to julian
2:23 pm
a son she can grant clemency up until the moment he leaves office to do it at the very very last minute however the number of people that were pardoned today and the information about who they are seems to have many pessimistic many of the activists supporting the whistleblowers feel like this indicates the trumpet ministration is moving in a very different direction with its clemency. and other story where perhaps a lot of ramifications a key ally of benjamin netanyahu has quit the cabinet and voted to join the opposition enough to recusing the israeli prime minister of corruption it comes out of the ruling coalition fell apart on tuesday with the country no set to go to the polls for a 4th time in less than 2 years it has been casting his eye over the fallout. did you know that the man devastated the most by donald trump missing out on a 2nd term is someone who lives thousands of kilometers away from u.s. borders he's long been in charge of
2:24 pm
a different government and no his name is not lattimer his name is bin human and i'm not saying that because i work for a russian t.v. station to stay cool look at all the political gifts that these re the leader has trump and his administration to thank for. what a glorious day. the . my vision presents a win win opportunity for both sides a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks of palestinian statehood to
2:25 pm
israel's security. the iran deal is defective at his school. getting sleepy joe kind of made this feel maybe sleepy ija. the great news for him is room. in the white house. but with trump on his way out netanyahu is going to have to find other ways to get a political boost and right now he really needs one of course of trump's middle east peace deals still proves a winner these really pm might get mad. as to weather the storm but here is what israel's streets now regularly look like.
2:26 pm
the protesters biggest problem with benjamin netanyahu is his alleged corruption crimes he denies any wrongdoing he's calling the trials politically motivated but the opposition got a new weapon this year cove it or rather the nation's fury at the wave into the always been dealing with me failing to deal with the pandemic the perception is one of mismanaged log downs with businesses and the unemployed left in the lurch the corruption has so many people involved 3 you need to start on a blank slate i need a constitution we need to limit the terms of the prime minister to 2 terms the us
2:27 pm
we need to stop the corruption here in israel and open in a time you know we need to know mainly but on the government and or did spend it doesn't want any mall. corrupted in the walking for one person trying to prove he's a trial demonstrations picked up pace in the spring when it's and ya'll managed to cling on to power as prime minister but only thanks to a kolisch in between his likud party and benny gantz as blue and white alliance the election rivals try to get along to get the country through the pandemic but now the cole as soon as fall apart and israel goes back to the polls in march it will be the country's 4th knesset elections in under 2 years and election is not the right thing for the country but it's much better than a paralyzed government and having politics dictate the management of one of the most severe health and economic crises wherever no. it's on yahoo like the rest of
