and in detroit equals betrayal. when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. russia confirms its 1st case of the new code strain that originated in the u.k. but medical chiefs say russia's vaccine is up to the task a job has now been approved by algeria and palestine. also this hour from dismissal to acceptance we hear from mainstream journalists who were initially skeptical over sputnik but are now lining up to take the russian job. plus the festive season brings no respite for germany which has reported a surge in code cases of the chancellor warning the situation only get worse. and donald trump faces a 2nd impeachment just days before leaving office as pro trump riders are charged

with domestic terrorism. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. russia has confirmed its 1st case of a new highly infectious coded mutation 1st discovered in the u.k. but health chiefs have given their assurances that the russian vaccine offers full protection against the new strain production of the job is being ramped up millions more doses are set to be released within a month parties agreed on the report's. new strain has crossed its borders and sneaked into russia along with one of the passengers on board of a jet that came back from well from the u.k. after all it's a british strain now it's important to understand that right now russia has its borders with the u.k. shut down but that happened back in december when the borders were still open and

the world was still learning about this new mutation of the virus but russian officials who are tasked with combat ing this coronavirus are saying that the citizens of russia should not really fear it should not fear this new mutation because the existing sputnik v. vaccine will be effective they are saying against this strain. from our data testing systems used in russia can identify the strains and vaccines registered in russia definitely provide protection against this strain. when it comes to russia and the people the number of people vaccinated moscow is leading the charge here in total in all of russia about a 1000000 more than a 1000000 people have been vaccinated if you compare it to any european country that is more in fact it is roughly the same amount of citizens who have been vaccinated if you have germany and spain combined and these are the countries that

are leading the european rates of vaccination russian support of a vaccine being welcomed round the rest of the world outside of russia the situation here is interesting because of course russia was the 1st country to announce that it has a vaccine ready and as anything new as anything 1st it came under scrutiny and while it was it came close to being ridiculed as people all around the world including journalists took it with a pinch of salt and without a visa to remaster trial completed it sounds like the process hasn't run its course here skeptical clinical trials where short they were excel. aerated they're still trying to figure out safety and they're they've approved it so it was presented as something ridiculous as something outrageous like what russia thinks of itself how could rule out a vaccine so unready so rules so unstudied even now the tables seem to have

turned and at the same the journalists of the same outlets who were ridiculed the russian vaccine are now getting the jab with many of my fears alleviated another reason i chose to could not kill it with a product to russian genetic engineering was more basic it was available russian clinics have not been dogged by the lines or logistical snafu reported to vaccination sites in the united states and other countries so the sheer availability of the vaccine and the lack of side effects reported by patients who received the jab has made it entice enough for the western audience also the lack of cubes and new countries or approving sputnik be to be used on its soil like the 1st country in africa. and more countries are in fact looking into the possibility of becoming producers of sputnik vive like germany has shown interest and the latest one is brazil that is looking to produce but not be on its soil to make it available to all of its population and perhaps south america so we'll see how that

fares in the past hour palestine has formally approved the sputnik 3 job for emergency use making it the 1st country in the middle east to do so comes a day after algeria gave it the green light as well have been here a biologist at lancaster university in the u.k. says other countries in the region could follow. if you look on to the more than $25000000.00 have been already given in $42.00 countries that are on the war but none of the single dollars has been given to any country in africa outside a clinical trial that is really on acceptable having approved one vaccine into one country in any continent going to open up the possibilities for other countries to approve it and i don't think that as you go would have access to the vaccine that is approved in the best and we know that you have to go 1st not just because of the tropical region but also lack of infrastructure is there to have a storage on minus 74 or 5 determinant of those are not practical over there so having vaccines those are stored at 3 temperature those that wanted not only to

transport but also to reach to the places where the virus would hide ultimately at the end here for it is a great school for vaccines like sport needs to be able. to get into be as we go and get them on actable access and then warnings of the worst few weeks to come the holiday seasons brought no koan relief to germany the countries reported a spike and cases and more than $40000.00 deaths since the pandemic began this comes just days after a further tightening of its national lockdown our europe correspondent peter over has more. germany continues to post high numbers of infections with covert 19 and debts associated with it on friday the grim record of numbers of dead was broken here in germany 1188 deaths confirmed that prompted chancellor angela merkel to give very sobering speech over the weekend and which

she called on german citizens to think about their actions and the impact their actions would have on their fellow citizens. the coming winter weeks are probably the most difficult phase of the pandemic hospitals across the country are working to their limits current infection rates do not even reflect the facts of christmas any years eve hinting at a possible surge in a number of cases and virus mutations are not helping to reduce anxiety. well lockdown measures they were brought in before christmas and new year were extended well strengthened last week they'll be in place until the end of january they'll be reviewed on the 25th both sits likely that they will be extended even further what that means is all bars and restaurants are close to in-house dining and in house guests non-essential retail's closed also things like hey addresses all closed completely as well as schools and kindergartens when it comes to the vaccine now

chancellor angela merkel has promised to ramp up germany's vaccine program in germany as well as many other european nations have been criticized for how slow their vaccine program had been put into place the health minister here in berlin u.n. spawn it said that he was happy with the way things were progressing that they'd targeted initially those in care homes and then it would be rolled out to the population at large what we've also heard from the government spokesperson is that chancellor angela merkel that spoken with russian president vladimir putin about the russian sputnik vivax seen being manufactured here in germany because it is the kind you know generally i cannot report on confidential talks between the federal chancellor and her counterparts but i can say that the chancellor made it clear that she's open to buy a way to a corporation with russia for the purpose of developing european for abduction capacity for the russian taxi well in order for the russian vaccine to be

manufactured here in germany it would 1st have to be approved by the european medical agency that hasn't happened as of yet but it does seem that should that happen we could well see that russian vaccine being manufactured here in germany as well as in russia. and the u.s. authorities continue to probe the scenes that shocked the world last week when trump supporters stormed capitol hill officials report getting more than 40000 online tip offs from the public about the identities of the rioters. look at this these protesters are inside statuary hall right now you see the statues this is a a moment i never saw in my life of my only more troops supporters storming the entrance to the capitol grounds unprecedented security breach in the capitol at least in my experience it is hard to put into words what exactly we witnessed today

because we've not seen this before. f.b.i. washington field office seeking the public's assistance in identifying those who made unlawful entry into the u.s. capitol building on january 6th if you witnessed unlawful violent actions contact the f.b.i. usa today needs your help identifying the people who broke into the u.s. capitol wednesday view the photos and fill out self-will. let's name and shame them. to some amazing work by james railton and friends here is his face and i guess his mom's pay attention to the shirts and hats and glasses . never start direct market and in maryland you've got an employee to investigate.

democrats are attempting to donald trump for a 2nd time just days before his successor is not curation following last week's riots on capitol hill house speaker nancy pelosi branded troll an imminent threat to both democracy and the constitution. person chinese had to have branch is a drain just unhinged dangerous president of the united states he has done something so serious that there should be prosecution against him. most republicans want the impeachment process stopped and to find common ground with democrats who are loath to compromise artist explains what did america. from this this painful all full incident.

they finally realize the things that gone too far that the left 5 only hear the right all vice versa when thousands of your countrymen storming the capitol building you don't have to like it but if you don't bother to pause and learn a single thing from it from your citizens storming your capitol building then you're a fool. 4 in 5 democrats believe that those who stormed capitol hill a domestic terrorists if you ask republicans only one in 5 calls them terrorists most call them protesters the fact is millions of those republicans believe the election was rigged and stolen the logical thing to do for the left would be to say hold on you're mistaken resul action was fair here's how and here's why but that

isn't their response their response is to try and impeach trump again and stead of finally deescalating the left sees this as an opportunity to crack down on the right to beat them while they're down to settle political scores and to slap away the hand offered in peace we must come together and put this anger and division behind us we must and i'm confident we will have a peaceful and orderly transition of power santa cruz you must accept responsibility for how your craven self-serving actions contributed to the deaths of 4 people yesterday but if you and senator holly must resign probably not the best time to be calling for political blood given how breaux can and hurt the u.s. sees it's as if something has ingrained itself in the american mindset a complete and utter reluctance to compromise and be civil to your own neighbors

and citizens tootle unwillingness to accept other views opinions and even on race. to. goals were marked storming the capitol what will be no if you are no 2 americas sounds right it does doesn't it they live in the in the same streets and the same towns but they're in different worlds here in their minds this goes beyond political do. differences beyond reason is hate from both sides and predominantly these hate all mostly it's hard to see how it's going to get better unless adam's huge change and we can all see that attitudes are changing them a crutch just won the senate for the 1st stockman almost a decade there and tootle control of the federal government why oh why would they

start compromising now latin american studies professor daniel shaw told us how the political divides even splitting families including his own this is certainly a unique moment we can see many families across the country very divided over this i have family members who you know won't talk to me who have threatened me. who see me as a traitor because i have different political views so this call for. family members to call in other other family members is certainly an unprecedented unique situation i think we're living through. another chapter of divisiveness in american history the polarization is intense think this decades and centuries of polarization but it's unique right now because of big twitter facebook there bidding of trucks certainly this should be no platforms for bigotry or xeno

phobia everything that trump represents but if it is trump has been will be binned tomorrow. still had lot of my putin meets with the leaders of armenia and azerbaijan to discuss the peace deal from the. back with more on that after the short break.
