a very well welcome you watching r.t. international we mean if you're. going to russia is developing a simplified version of its vivax covert vaccine as a long term measure to meet international demand the new drug dubbed sputnik line protects for short a time but only requires one dose instead of 2 it's africa's see is the ought to be around 85 percent compared to $95.00 for the full version clinical trials involving $150.00 volunteers all ready to start on tests will continue throughout the year in the meantime mexico has become the latest nation to consider buying tens of millions of doses of russia's original covert vaccine as more and reports. the sputnik the vaccine once scorned and maligned is turning into an international bestseller production is surging to an average of 130000 doses
5:02 pm
a day so $4000000.00 doses over the next month the vaccine has already been approved in algeria and argentina serbia believe ia other countries and more buzz aligning up i can say the vaccine is affected more than 90 percent based on the trial doubts and also less allergic reaction that ability skill ability cost all these all the pet meter that are ideal for any vaccine to roll out. one of the scrutiny experienced advantages over the competition aside from price is that it's easier to transport or to store so a simple fridge will do the 5 of them and then the vaccines they require deep freeze as low as minus 70 degrees celsius so cold storage which isn't widely available in much of the developing world which is most of the world the sputnik the vaccines high quality and efficacy are stimulating growing interest from more
5:03 pm
and more countries these translates into wider jorgen feel free scrooge creation to leverage and production palestine denied the vaccine by israel has become the 1st in the middle east to greenlight sputnik the main interest of the. us with the worse in that it's using a. lot the sin of universe has been used in both those as it is different in order to reduce. the. reverse of the cause of the believe us it is a good chance to know that the difference is a dentist future in india the russian shot has just passed phase 2 trials without a hitch with only phase 3 to go already deals have been signed to produce 300000000 doses of sputnik in india the phase 2 study in india showed a very good safety profile we are working closely towards fast tracking the launch
5:04 pm
of the sputnik the vaccine in india all in all few nations are putting all their money on any one horse or vaccine anything could happen from supply shortages to unforeseen side effects like the pfizer vaccines allergic reactions which is why it makes sense to make sure that you've got different jobs. well we heard from among a group a public health expert in new delhi he spoke about the large scale testing of sputnik v. in india on the drug's advantages on the global markets there was no doubt about the fees to save trees as would be similar to what we have seen in the other parts but just the fact that it is happening in india it sort of gives the kind of reassurance. retreats the safety profile us for because we. do freeze trees there if i just look good or are the number of vaccines i will see a sporting is in is in the dobbs league as the different countries look you know
5:05 pm
using which they were going to vaccines would mean we would be should be one of the of the pride the choice just because of the science behind it which is kind of a non-science safety profile it's their frequency profile of the whole are the largest is in the transportation side of. this by the rapid progress in vaccine development the red cross is urging people to be patient and keep up basic measures to slow the spread of the pandemic we heard from emanuel coppa bianco the director of the health care department at the i.c.r.c. . it's something that we need to be prepared and we need to do is physically something is moscow is avoiding being in crowded places is making sure that we one gets gets isolated and people are in contact with somebody sick we are in tying up for some provide the support that is needed and to the person can go out again these are critical measures that can save thousands of flights until vaccines will
5:06 pm
be widely available in all countries we can not lower the guard right now because the. researchers are worried about what we have been seeing. the u.k. and in south africa where. developed at the further mutations occur we may see potentially also reduction of the effectiveness of some of the vaccine the majority of the world unfortunately not started vaccination programs yet and we know that we need 2 docs and 8 people all over the world to assure safety for everybody around the world so we'll we'll have to accelerate the pace at which a vaccine is will be distributed around the world ensuring a mechanism to do so. enough very safe safeway and until that moment the best line of defense will be illegal behavior.

5:16 pm
absolutely unavoidable the next few weeks are going to be. under the terms of numbers into the next chance well hospitals are being pushed to absolute breaking point last week we had the mayor of london city karnit declare a major incident which just gives you an idea of the scale that the n.h.s. is facing but also we've had major incidents also being declared in areas like sorry and sussex and those on the frontline say the situation is dire we're freezing and most grieve means the. our hospitals are again you're listening to this when all this comes as the government unveils its vaccination plan includes the opening of 7 mass vaccination centers across the country but there is a widespread perception that the government keeps over promising and under delivering it it comes as a poll finds at around 72 percent of people think that the government has not acted fast enough with 42 percent say they're absolutely too slow but there are still
5:17 pm
plenty of people out there who think the lockdown shouldn't be in place at all and they clashed with police over the weekend. so the vaccine very much does provide some light at the end of the tunnel but there are many. pull out that have no doubt that things are going to get worse before they get better the n.h.s. is struggling now in some parts of the country there are no beds and people are being shipped around the country and in some places there's a shortage of oxygen there is no doubt about it the n.h.s. is on the brink and the big message from the secretary of state is to really employ people to follow the rules and do not go out and less it's necessary the n.h.s.
5:18 pm
i think is close to breaking point i think the government have been too slow right from the beginning that would too slow to law down or regionally we are an island we could have closed our borders easily but we let people in from china and from northern italy and from spain they've brought the infection with them too slow to get people where moss there were too slow here originally lot down and they've been to slow down since and of course we've had the relaxation of christmas which was a very foolish thing to do in my opinion so yes i think we've had we have a prime minister who's been hesitant to lock down and he's been too slow to act and that's been the story throughout this very sorry. bill to come this hour u.s. officials voiced their frustration of a delay than getting vaccines to the population about story and small after the break.
5:19 pm
the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person those words. today are saying. we dared to ask. franklin kind of one of the architects of america and he told us how it was going to end when you can vote for free money the republic is done and this is what just happened in there 2020 electoral people voted to for free money and now it's officially per ben franklin if. it's. done.
5:20 pm
welcome back the u.s. secretary of state has claims that without providing evidence that iran is now harboring the terrorist group al qaeda. has a new home base it is the islamic republic of iran my pump a is allegation has not been backed up by any publicly available intelligence assessments iran was quick to reject the claim saying it's doing more than any other country to fight terrorism and the iranian foreign minister had some harsh words for his u.s. counterpart. from designating cuba to fictitious surrender classifications and
5:21 pm
al qaeda claims mr will lie cheat and steal is pathetically ending his disastrous career with more were more green lights this comes a day after the trumpet ministration put cuba back on the list of state sponsors of terrorism have and that was removed from the blacklist back in 2015 we heard from sayyid mohammad marandi a professor of english literature and orientalism of the university of tehran he said the problems with washington predate trump and iran will be taking a cautious approach to the incoming administration. because they are obama regime that created the maximum pressure campaign in the 1st place that trump repeated although more harshly it was during the obama regime that iranian scientists were murdered during trial only one was murdered during obama 4 were murdered and of course cyber attacks on iran took place as well during obama's so
5:22 pm
we biden was his vice president know when he ran trust him but if he decides to do the smart thing and implement the nuclear deal and fully run will do so as well but iran will accept no preconditions and it will not accept any changes to the nuclear deal nor will it negotiate its defense capabilities especially with american bases surrounding iran and it will not negotiate its regional alliances. u.s. officials are calling for a quicker rollout of covert vaccines so far 25000000 doses have been delivered to hospitals nationwide but less than a 3rd of those shots have been administered. they're ripping up too slowly this past monday i said to them you have until friday to room. use it or lose it it would be much better to move quickly and end up vaccinating some lower priority
5:23 pm
people than to let vaccines sit around while states try to micromanage this process as things stand there are strict criteria on who can receive the vaccines and that's led to technical delays with doctors that able to give the job to the target groups on some unused doses going to waste some states are trying to address that problem by widening the list of eligible people in new york it now includes people older than 75 and essential workers such as teaches infectious diseases specialist william schaffner spoke to aussies boom bust about the difficulties hospitals are facing. there are all kinds of problems out there it depends on the location my state is actually one of the top 3 or 4 states. thanks amazing people or proportion of vaccines delivered in our arms now is pretty good but even within our own state we're seeing that some locations are doing better than other some locations are swamped with early except they just want the vaccine but they haven't got enough
5:24 pm
other places and this is happening to many people surprise and health care facilities that not all health care workers are ready to get the vaccines they need reassurance the persuasion the information so all of that's rolling out if you plan for it your vaccination program is a little slower than we would like so it's a whole spectrum of issues kind of coming together one and the incoming administration under joe biden his axing advisors they've been expressing a caution about being able to hit they're talking about 100000000 vaccine in the 1st 100 days how possible is it for them to help these states ramp up these. occupations to a 1000000 per day at the current rate i wish that the goal had not been so specifically expressed it's very aspirational one of the things that the administration says it will do is release
5:25 pm
a lot of doses of vaccine that are currently in warehouses and that will then put the stress on all the people who are delivering the vaccines to get that 1st dose into as many arms as possible as quickly as possible the other concern is a vaccine dose deferred is often the vaccine doses not received and we really need to bring everybody back for that 2nd dose in order to get that 95 percent effectiveness. by university of milan studies found the origins of the pandemic are closer to home than previously thought if new reports say that patient vero may have been infected in italy back in november 29 tain a whole week earlier than the 1st registered case in china i will tell focalize asian investigative teams due to arrive in china on thursday to probe how the virus

as the trump presidency comes to an end the country stares into a political abyss divisions are different now than ever before and dialogue is almost nonexistent talk of compromise is deemed to be treasonous by many this will hardly change on january 20. in 9093 this man was sentenced to death they could charged with capital murder even though he didn't have the gun didn't pull the trigger didn't intend to kill anybody imagine living in your bathroom for the week with his son of a 23. confined within 4 gray walls he fights using hot turn on to help him to leave death row.
