to do with. the. back to go back but i decided not to take physics like. my get can tell you that. in this morning's headlines a 2nd batch of spurning theorize in argentina that his demand for the russian vaccine they saw is a process latin american. u.k. government is under fire to senior ministers fact track on a promise to roll out a 2nd coronavirus job within an already extended timescale of 12 weeks we get a doctor's reaction. the 2nd dose is crucial in boosting the immune levels if we then frail to boost the immune e.t.s. in a given time span then we may be losing the protectively fact the 1st vaccine that we gave. so video of

a woman experiencing convulsions after receiving the pfizer coronavirus job causes quite a stir online we hear from her son. a lot of misuse that are negative. this is your mom. you know you're lying your. good morning and thanks for joining us here on out. there has received a 2nd batch of the sputnik vaccine comes as more countries across latin america have been opting for the russian. job with more details his aunty's done a hawk. whatever the science behind the covert vaccines other factors are at play politics being a key one it's no surprise that vaccine approval and distribution has been like a parliament divided along party lines countries are mostly sticking to their own
12:02 am
before selling all of their neighbors north america and europe have made their own pitch while competing vaccines have been subjected to increased the skepticism scrutiny and smears so it may come for some was a surprise that much of latin america is leaning towards the russian option being the latest to sign up reduced ration of sputnik vaccine in paraguayan proved the increasing interest of latin american countries in a safe and effective russian vaccine against corona virus we expect a more countries in the region will also approve it soon and ready to create new partnerships to pool their foods in the fight against the pandemic. joins argentina bolivia and venezuela in placing orders and cuba are in talks to start local production with mexico peru and brazil also potential customers yes sputnik ves easy to transport and store is also competitively priced but could there be another
12:03 am
factor let's face it as far as neighbors go do it politically north and south america are pretty much like chalk and cheese take venezuela and bolivia pushed into pariah state status over the years or cuba really designated a state sponsor of terror it was a matter of when lot if south american nations would start looking for friendlier countries to hang out with the 1st thing we have to look a here is the blockade against the malaki an american country in a case of benefit or york and a very limited i can weed back in economically in the u.k. based on the american made back in their out of read you can be levied by work in that country. we can see that of the the russian companies have far less exposure to us punitive measures. in them from us. and increasing the possibility to trade in with partners like venezuela countries traditionally closer
12:04 am
to the united states such as mexico or course the reka have already opted for western designed vaccines brazil is still on the fence while plans to launch production of sputnik are in place regulate through provable has been delayed though moscow says it's just a temporary issue in connection with unreliable information that appeared in a number of media outlets about the refusal of an emergency registration for the sport make the vaccine in brazil we clarify that the national health surveillance agency has requested additional information regarding the sputnik the vaccine which will be provided shortly russia plans to expand the sputnik corporation in the region for many countries on the continent it seems like the best choice practically and financially and whatever the global politics at play in the upper echelons of power latin american nations agree and a pandemic like none of us have ever witnessed is protecting the people which comes
12:05 am
1st naturally the things you know are being played by many sectors personally or with washington who are politicized their distribution of a fighter back into that country to pressure here in latin america but this is of course counterproductive to the interests of the people who are essentially looking to get the cheap vaccine quickest to safeguard their health and improve the health care system of the country so i think if the thumb extended it was inevitable that the distribution of the right thing was going to be polluted by that the but i get this in order the detriment of the people living here in the continent. well scientists were left stunned when britain revealed that will significantly lengthening the time between covert vaccine doses now a senior minister is into that it might take even longer the government has said that people might have to wait more than 3 months to get the 2nd job far longer than the time scale in which the drugs have been tested but even that gap can't apparently be fully guaranteed can guarantee that on fire for example you will be
12:06 am
able to get a 2nd more we absolutely are aiming for that we should be able to deliver it and i think we can be quietly confident does the governments know something they w.h.o. f.d.a. and pfizer don't why are they seriously willing to concede they're gambling with the nation's health by playing fast and loose with vaccines this is dangerous 2nd chart is critical and 12 weeks already stretching it not sure what to make of this let's hope this is a rare under promising rather than a real risk of the different vaccines have been tested with different times between the 1st and 2nd doses ranging from 3 weeks all the way up to 3 months the government originally planned to stick to the shorter timeframe but now says it's ok to delay for the full 12 weeks in order to eke out supplies to get at least some vaccine into as many people as possible but that decision has been met with widespread criticism and concern for the public and from within the medical
12:07 am
profession the british doctors campaign groups appealed to the health secretary to at least make exception for the pfizer vaccine which recommends the shortest gap between jobs and the statement the drugs from points out there's no data to say the 1st dose gives any protection beyond 21 days for this communicable diseases expert talked about punk earlier says the 2nd job can't be held up indefinitely. the 2nd dose is crucial in boosting the immune levels so if you are some optimally immunized and then you never get that boost that immunity will eventually start to frayed and you become one rable to infection we have to immunize as many as possible as fast as possible and i accept giving the one vaccine prevents severe illness in more people by using up the 2 doses to give to double the number of people accept that but if we then fail to boost their immunities in a given time span then we may be losing the protective effect of the 1st vaccine
12:08 am
that we gave if that is the case it's very unfortunate therefore the 2nd vaccine ought to be given within a good time frame not an indefinite time interval. and in a shocking revelation doctors in the u.k. are reportedly being told to throw away leftover coronavirus vaccines similar incidents are believed to be happening across the atlantic as well. to grocery shoppers in the united states were apparently lucky enough to receive the curve in $1000.00 job without even queuing they were offered the vaccine by an in-store pharmacist who was looking for any takers that's after 2 health care workers have missed their appointment not everybody is so lucky on health specialist share the story of a doctor who was told he was not possible to give left over doses to patients and non-hospital employees due to regulations by the time he received the approval the doses that are already being thrown away to are at carney again comments on those
12:09 am
incidents. i think there is a lot of inertia in people rising above regulations sometimes regulations that are written now need to be challenging it is a shame to waste 2 axioms if you have got them spread out you should develop what you would call forward planning and have a register of people that you can call at short notice and immunize them don't waste any because this is an important and valuable medicine to protect people so you if you do forward planning and you find the people who can be on a reserve list and it can be called very quickly and they can attend as soon as possible within a couple of hours and you must do that planning to immunize are the people with the spare vaccine and turned to america now where a video of a woman suffering convulsions after receiving a coronavirus child has caused a stir online a warning some of us may find these images coming up disturbing. brunt dryness
12:10 am
mother received the pfizer vaccine in louisiana this was at the start of january and according to her son she hadn't experienced any have issues prior to taking the shot is out described his mother's condition. she said that the day afterwards she woke up with a headache and she said they take every day since until today today's the 1st day she has had a headache but she started noticing. seizure like movements in a way or less like 1st. it was 3 days afterwards and she was admitted to the hospital before these she had no control of her legs when she was trying to walk the doctors said they think it's the metals and the vaccine. is causing her to have the neurologic or reaction. of eyes is not set to confirm the case and said it is investigating but it's not the 1st time concerns have been raised over the safety
12:11 am
of the jab noise county investigators in the deaths of dozens of elderly people who recently seen the vaccine gratis as the response here is saying it's to his video suggests that his mom's case is the one off i've heard of other cases since i shared a video on facebook i had. thousands and thousands of people message me comment and average myself personally i haven't read all the messages but i read hundreds of them myself personally if people tell me their stories their daughters or sons their mothers or you know all of member members of their family have had reactions share their vaccines our plot of some of them had a lot of misuse that are negative say and this is your mom or you know you're lying or whatever negative comment you know it's it's not really something going on trying to entertain too much i don't know want people wouldn't trust they want to code back seem to take away coded things and get back to normal.
12:12 am
with the trump of ministration clearing out of the white house you might think there's a brand new team of faces poised to come in to replace them but and if joe biden's key cabinet picks are they hark back to the days of his old boss especially when it comes to the u.s. state department against the of explains. out with the old and then with the well even older it seems go ahead and flick through do biden state department nominations you'd be forgiven for thinking you've slipped into a parallel above a presidency there back well almost all of back from the people who brought you look at cash if in libya the bungled war in syria got stuck into the coup in ukraine and brought relations with russia to what they are now or as the chief in waiting puts it this team behind me they embody my core beliefs that america's strongest when it works with the sellers it's
12:13 am
a team that reflects the fact that america is back judging by the team's track record now is a good time for innocent civilians and potential collateral casualties around the world to start quaking in their boots because this cabal of liberal bruises seems to have much less compunction about dropping bombs than trump ever did such as mr blinken who believes that the us failed in syria because it didn't destroy it enough in syria we made the opposite error of doing too little without bringing appropriate power to bear no peace could be negotiated much less imposed or how about victoria nuland was her tool it's prefer jets and armies and bombs to take out anything that doesn't fit their picture perfect idea of democracy newlands more wily sheen gives in with with cookies and smiles and gets you to trust says you
12:14 am
have friends and then says this behind your back. that would be great i think to help glue this thing and to have do you when help glue it and you know. america is strongest when it works with its allies biden said. nuland does that to make sure that america doesn't become too strong and keep those allies guessing about who she's trash talking this stuff or take samantha power now slated to take over america's aid agency machine she's good at anything it's making sure that the u.s. doesn't work with other countries to get things done to the assad regime russia and iran 3 member states behind the conquest of and carnage in aleppo you bear responsibility for these atrocities by rejecting un i.c.r.c.
12:15 am
evacuation efforts you are signaling to those militia who are massacring innocents to keep doing what they are doing these are the people who helped bring trump to power they are they are part of what voters grew disenchanted with the and last wall is the endless deaths the endless failures but then again then expect too much from a biden state department in the words of a famous defense secretary if it's foreign policy chances are biden will get it wrong. i think he's been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past 4 decades looks like it's going to be a continuation of a increasingly aggressive us foreign policy that makes sense because that has been the the trajectory that republican and democrat administrations have done over the past several decades and his most recent pick seem to be
12:16 am
a continuation of that this is an ongoing thing and that coupled with his his defense department picks a 3rd of whom have major ties to the defense industry all signals are that we're about to see some serious neo-con foreign policy problem is that you have this inertia within us foreign policy and there's 2 parts to the inertia one is just the fact that all of the think tanks all of the contractors everyone that is part of the military industrial complex is supporting and promoting these types of these types of aggressive war hawks to the state department and the department of defense but there's also something more sinister at play here is the fact that there's an underlying jingoism that is built into us foreign policy and has been for several decades in this jingoism tells us that the u.s. government the u.s. military can go wherever it wants whenever it wants and kill whomever they wish including civilian casualties and that there can be no negative blowback or
12:17 am
consequences for if anyone so much as tries to defend themselves there are mediately a terrorist and when that is the over the underlying thought process and bedrock founding principle of u.s. military and foreign policy it's going to lead to this type of aggressive posture around the world and it has to end. now as many wonder what the incoming biden administration's stance on iraq and afghanistan will be a new poll shows growing support among veterans military families for the withdrawal of u.s. troops from those countries more than 2 thirds of veterans are in favor of withdrawing u.s. military from both afghanistan and iraq is also strong support for bringing troops home among military families as well the poll also suggests that both groups believe the united states should be less engaged in conflicts around the world and since a manual war veteran says that these results aren't unexpected it's not surprising to me veterans overwhelmingly want to start of these wars we are the ones who borne
12:18 am
the brunt of these occupations and we still live with the ghosts and horrors of those wars and we will for the rest of our lives and it's not surprising to me that many veterans their families in the broader united states has no appetite for war right now this is part of a bigger picture problem for the united states and that is we operate a military empire at a time when the republic is sort of collapsing at home so the united states has major decisions to make in the coming years whether or not it wants to maintain a global military empire of over a 1000 military bases or the united states is going to have to choose to take care of people here where i live in the united states and you know break down the empire from abroad. kremlin critic is back on russian soil was immediately arrested by police on arrival for violating probation in the film they've been in germany receiving medical treatment after an incident last summer
12:19 am
in which he fell seriously ill during a flight washington was quick to react to his arrest with russia's foreign ministry asking the u.s. to focus on internal issues. in response to mr sullivan as well as many other foreign figures who publish pre-prepared comments respect international law do not encroach on the national legislation of sovereign states and you would have problems in your own country the kremlin's attacks on mr novell me are not just a violation of human rights but an affront to the russian people who wants their voices heard. both more background and the latest on the story his. a pause just to the southwest of mosco and it around 7 30 pm local time russian opposition forgot it was a cue to land on that flight from by live however at the last minute we got word that all incoming flights were being diverted to other at ports and novell nice flight was said to shut me up to the other side of the capital now we know he has
12:20 am
been detained why well at the end of december he sobbed out a suspended sentence on charges of embezzlement not that related to the so-called eve for a shut case that goes back to 2014 not the thomas of that's a suspended sentence to mont it that to he regularly report to an office but russia's presence serves to say that he failed to do so on at least 6 occasions over the past here that was before he fell sick on that plane from siberia to moscow and they said they gave him fair warning about the potential consequences of consistent evaluating his probation now this is not the only us legal challenge ahead for need the kremlin critic is also facing fresh allegations of fraud investigators say the key misappropriated a waste of $5000000.00 worth of donations that were given in good faith to his non profit organization and that could see
12:21 am
12:22 am
that palin had said something to moscow but moscow said that the material that was said was so latino and substance that really it couldn't be considered anything useful or what the of anything of cooperation never the last we seen the e.u. sanctions senior russian officials over the novell nice saga which looks like it might still be a continuing scene of army has been taken into custody and it looks like around that on the 29th of january a decision on his future will be made in court. the iranian foreign minister has rejected claims to iran is violating terms of the nuclear deal that comes after france britain and germany all alleged around is building up its nuclear weapons capacity with paris also urging washington to return to the deal when 15 joint comprehensive plan of action was signed by 7 states it was supposed to limit iran's nuclear capability in exchange for sanctions relief but in 2018 the
12:23 am
u.s. officially withdrew from the agreement which led to iran's suspending some of its commitments. on he's going underground latest guest is former iran president mahmoud ahmadinejad who insists that his country is a peaceful one you could watch the full program on our channel later today or by heading to our website dot com a lot of the culture of the iranian nation has never throughout history been after conflict. war or threatening others basically the error of using the language of threat in national and international relations report is over the u.s. aircraft carrier nimitz has been sent to iran's maritime borders you have the boss of trump's pentagon. making accusations against iran it's my understanding that a new war is about to be imposed on the sensitive region of the middle east how
12:24 am
will buy. make any difference to iran u.s. relations he's of course a very good friend of israel from our standpoint it makes no difference who is president in the u.s. since major u.s. policies are devised by the governing board behind the scenes look at the past 70 years many crimes against humanity have been committed and a lot of wars and impositions have been waged by consecutive u.s. administrations i don't expect that not to reoccur in the future what did it make you feel when you saw the pictures of the attempted insurrection in washington those are the internal affairs of the u.s. they're almost irrelevant to international policy is bad a lot to say when there was demonstrations on the streets of tehran yes in their foreign policy they meddle in all the affairs of countries we're getting some reports of coronavirus from yemen the world's worst humanitarian crisis according
12:25 am
to the u.n. do you think the world is forgotten about yemen i think the people of yemen are bearing the brunt of pressure resulting from the greed and wickedness of others their country's infrastructure is being destroyed the youth women and children are being killed poverty is spreading from a human perspective i felt responsible and wrote letters to the 2 parties involved in the conflict announcing my readiness to help resolve the problems and to end the war certainly brokering peace is a human responsibility anyone who can contribute should do so and anyone fanning the flames of war should stop today the world is being managed according to the principles of political darwinism what that means is that for some to be strong others would have to be weak this ideology is anti here. and has turned the world into a place where an arms race has jeopardize everyone's security i'm opposed to this world management model and believe that all nations and human beings can live in
12:26 am
