are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us right now russia is developing a simplified version of its sputnik vicodin vaccine as a long term measure to meet international demand the new drug sputnik light projects for a shorter time but only requires one dose instead of 2 its efficacy is thought to be around 85 percent compared to $95.00 for the full version of clinical trials involving $150.00 volunteers are ready to start and 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 vaccine. has more. the sputnik the vaccine once scorned and maligned is turning into an international

bestseller production is surging to an average of 130000 doses 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 move by as a lineup 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 or the pet me to a better idea of what 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 frege will do them 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 and more countries these translates into wider jorgen feel free scrooge creation to leverage and production palestine the nih the vaccine by israel has become the 1st in the middle east to greenlight sputnik the main thrust of the uniqueness of the worse in that it's using a. lot the sim and universe has been used in both those as it is different in order to reduce the immune response to. the other the reverse of the cause of the believe yes it is. good chance to know that the difference is a dentist 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 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. we heard from him on a public health expert in new delhi he spoke about the large scale testing of sputnik vi in india and the drugs advantages on the global market there was no doubt aboard to the phrase 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 please trees isn't bates if i just look good or are seeing the number of vaccines i will say is in it is in the top league and as the different countries look at

you know using which there were no 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 unknown science safety profile it's a frequency profile and the whole of the largest is in the transportation side of it well despite 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 emmanuel couple bianco director of the health and care department at the i.c.r.c. . it's something that we need to be prepared and we need to do is physically some saying. avoiding being in crowded places is making sure that 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 be widely available you know 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 me further mutations occur we may see potentially also reduction of the effectiveness of all but some of the vaccine the majority old the old unfortunately was not started vaccination programs yet and we know that we need to vaccinate 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 got a mechanism to do so. in that very safe safe way and until that moment the best line of defense will be individual behavior. donald trump has accused

too little too late in today's america we need solutions that don't start after untold damage has been done changing these dentures dynamics requires more than just the temperature silencing or permanent removal of bad actors from social media platforms and just like a paranoid dictator is convinced he's surrounded by enemies big taxis bontoc does everyone trump loyalists annoy is leading the election forward claims right wing talk show hosts all sense of the story looked because apparently that clinton got michael riled up enough to storm the capital now. duct taping trump and a few of his cronies is one thing but what to do about the 75000000 americans who've raylene like red taps now we need to on brainwash and reeducate about 71000000 voters and their children who follow trump supporters need to rejig gave themselves

a lot of things but one of them is the definition of democracy now we have to figure out how to reeducate all the people trump and fox news have damaged but before all this great how about some good old erosion of the fast amendment take the twit to start up scene as a safe space for conservative voices while no more afterthought an influx of people angry at twitter censorship story policy pano was dropped by apple google and this is obviously a collusive action on the part of these incredibly powerful entities who are seeking to not just destroy their competition but effectively to silence people who are supporters of the president online for years i heard it invalid to object to political censorship by facebook and twitter because if you don't like it you can just create a competing social media platform parlor tried and in 24 hours google apple and amazon united to destroy it that's what monopoly power means it's not just the

in 2021. the british prime minister has been spotted riding his bike 11 kilometers from downing street that is despite his government's ban on people exercising outside their neighborhoods and it comes just days after 2 women were fined several 100 pounds for driving 8 kilometers to go for a walk those penalties were cancelled after a public outcry artie's shoddy edwards dusty looks at how johnson's bad example comes at the worst possible time for britain. the relentless surge of 1000 infections up and down the country has prompted a stark warning from the health secretary matt hancock. it's an unwelcome message for many across britain but professor chris witty who's the chief medical officer advisor to the government says tougher restrictions are

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 piecing and most grieve this on. your piece of 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 that around 72 percent of people think the government has not acted fast enough with 42 percent say they're absolutely too slow but there are still

plenty of people out there who think they're locked down shouldn't be in place at all and they clashed with police over the weekend. to the vaccine very much does provide some light at the end of the tunnel but there are many. pull out that have no doubt some things are going to get west before they get 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 this is sure to use 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 was to really employ people to follow the rules and do not go out and less it's necessary the

n.h.s. 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 the borders easily but we let people in from china and from northern italy and from spain they pull the infection with them that would too slow to get people to where moss they were too slow here originally not 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. still to come this hour u.s. officials voiced their frustration over delays in getting vaccines to the population that's right much more of a short break this is our 2 international. as

the trump presidency comes to wind the country stares into a political abyss divisions are deeper level than ever before and dialogue is

almost non-existent talk of compromise is deemed to be treasonous by many this will hardly change. welcome back this is our t. international now the us secretary of state has claimed without providing evidence that iran is now harboring the terrorist group al qaeda al qaeda has a new home base it is the islamic republic of iran. my pump is allegation has not been backed up by any publicly available intelligence assessment iran was quick to reject the claim saying it is doing more than any 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

al-qaeda claims mr will lie cheat and steal is pathetically ending his disastrous career with more war mongering lars. this comes a day after the trumpet ministration put cuba back on its list of state sponsors of terrorism event it was removed from the blacklist back in 2015 we heard from mohammad marandi professor of english literature and orientalism at the university of tehran he says the problems with washington predate trump and iran will be back taking a cautious approach to the incoming administration. because there are obama regime that created the maximum pressure campaign in the 1st place that trump repeated although more harshly and 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 so we biden was his

vice president know when he run trusts him but if he decides to do the smart thing and implement the nuclear deal and totally wrong 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 ramping up too slowly this past monday i said to them you have until friday to room up use it or lose it it would be much better to move quickly and end up vaccinating some lower priority people than to let vaccines sit around while states try to micromanage this process

. while all things stand there are strict criteria on who can receive the vaccines and that has led to technical delays with doctors unable to give the job to some target groups and some unused doses have gone 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 teachers infectious diseases. specialist william schaffner spoke to r.t. 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 in thanks amazing people are proportion of vaccines delivered in their 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

errors they just want the vaccine but they haven't got enough 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 they need 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 has actually advisers 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 the states ramp up these an occupation 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

a lot of doses of vaccine that are currently in warehouses 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. all right a university of milan study has found that the origins of the pandemic are closer to home than previously thought it's a new report claims that patient 0 may have been infected in italy back in november 2019 a whole week earlier than the 1st registered case in china now in north and world health organization investigative team is due to arrive in china on thursday to
