over the storming of the capitol. very well welcome it's 9 pm here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international with mina karin. russia has confirmed his 1st case of a highly infectious covert mutation was discovered in the u.k. but health chiefs have given that assurances that the russian vaccine offers a full protection against the new strain production of the job is being ramped up millions more doses of sets be released within a month because dawn of reports. this 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 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 home batting coronavirus are saying that the citizens of russia should not really fear it should not fear this new mutation because the existing sputnik the vaccine will be effective they are saying 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 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 a russian sputnik the 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 with out of these 3 mass trial completed it sounds like the process hasn't run its course here and there to stop researchers say russia's cutting corners to develop its coronavirus that saying they're still trying to figure out safety and there they've approved it so it was presented as something ridiculous as something almost outrageous like what russia thinks of itself how. roll out a vaccine so ready so wrong or so unstudied even now the tables have turned and are the same but 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 at 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 v. 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 greve like germany has shown interest and the latest one is brazil that is looking to produce but need to be on its soil to make it available to all of its population and perhaps south america so we'll see how that fares well palestine has formally approved the sputnik the job for emergency use making it the 1st middle east nation

to do so this comes a day after algeria gave it the green light and the russian sun's behind the says it expects 10 more states to register the drug by the end of january we heard from her it's been nearly just at lancaster university in the u.k. he things that jerry has approval could encourage other african nations to follow suit. if you look on to there now 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 the clinical trial that is really an acceptable having approved one of axion into one country in any continent going to open up the possibilities for other countries to uphold it and i don't think that i think i would have access to the vaccine that is approved in the best and we know that in africa 1st not just because of the tropical region but also lack of infrastructure is there to have a storage on the minus 74 or 5 determinant of those are not practical over there so

having vaccines those are all stored at 3 temperature those are really a great it wanted not only to transport it but also to reach to the places where the virus would hide ultimately at the end here for it is a good school for vaccines like sputniks to be able. to get into be as we go and get them on actable access. germany has tightened its national lockdown asked us surgeon kinds of cases over the festive season where your correspondent peter all of a has that these house. germany continues to post high numbers of infections with kovac 19 deaths associated with it on friday the grim wreck ordered 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 in tng at a possible surge in a number of key says and virus mutations are not helping to reduce anxiety. well lock down 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 house guests non-essential retail's closed also things like hay 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 the end 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 a government spokesperson is that chancellor angela merkel that spoken with russian president vladimir. about the russian sputnik v vaccine big money fund shoot here in germany because it is 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 later a corporation with russia for the purpose of developing european for abduction capacity for the russian vaccine 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 it should that happen we could well see that russian vaccine being manufactured here in germany as well as in russia. dozens of suspects have been arrested in the u.s. over last week storming of the capital they face charges including violent entry disorderly conduct and illegal possession of firearms and the f.b.i. is asking the public to help identify the participants. 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 my only mob of troops supporters storming the entrance to the capitol grounds for an 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.

us democrats have launched impeachment proceedings against donald trump for the 2nd time in 2 years accusing him of inciting the mob the storm to capitol hill last after republicans blocked an effort to remove the president from office under the 25th amendment following last week's riots in washington the house speaker nancy pelosi branded trump an eminent threat to democracy persons running executive branch is a drainage unhinged dangerous president of the united states he has done something so serious that there should be prosecution against him when many republicans want the impeachment as that stopped and have called for common ground with democrats on tees maar guarantee of explains what did america. from this this

painful all full incident. they finally realized the things that gone too far that the left far the 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 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 your mistaken recently 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 to call on willingness to accept other views opinions and even on race . to. goals were marked storming the capitol what would be no. no no to america's 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. differences beyond reason is hate from both sides they're going to. hate almost it's hard to see how it's going to get better unless adam's huge change and we grew to know their attitudes are changing democrats just won the senate for the 1st star been almost a decade there are too cool control of the federal government why oh why would they

start compromising now we spoke with latin american studies professor daniel schorr he said the political divide is splitting families including his own this is certainly a unique moment we can see many families across the country very divided with whom i have family members who you know will talk to me who have threatened me where 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 being

no truck certainly this should be no platforms for bigotry or zener for. everything that trump represents but if it is trump has been will be binned tomorrow. has lashed out at donald trump in the wake of the capitol hill riots the hollywood star and former california governor spoke about his childhood in posts nazi all stria and compared the president's actions to what happened in the run up to world war 2. no i grew up in austria and very aware of christine but what the night of broken glass wednesday was the day of broken glass right here in united states president trying sobs to overturn the results of an election you saw the cool but misleading people we. know and he was full misled also with lies. and the worst of those lead schwarzenegger referred back to kristallnacht

the torture the the polling circumstances that they were forced to endure and so as dreadful as these events and these particular events last week were on capitol hill we need to be careful in making analogies around calling it chris down . the leaders of azerbaijan and armenia have met for the 1st time since signing a russian brokered cease fire that ended more than 6 weeks of deadly hostilities in they care about krege and the meeting lasted for most 4 hours here in moscow hosted by a president putin and was followed by a news conference. she would use new stitcher should scritching the washington this meeting has been extremely important and useful we have signed a joint declaration on the region's development. and is a god in the implementing the agreements outlined in the statement can change the
