that would affect a whole day but i decided not to take business like. my get you there. in the headlines this hour rusher expands its vaccination program with the ambitious goal of vaccinating off the population by the end of the. second batch of sputnik arrives in argentina as demand for the russian vaccine against the saw is across latin america. clover the white house says president elect joe biden packs his state departments with. that. other very good morning to you thanks for joining us here. first this hour russia

is expanding its mass vaccination program the aim to get 60 percent of the population inoculated by the end of the year let's go to auntie correspondent constance coffee's of the central moscow but the nation center good morning to you love the mask just take us through the rush is making to ramp up its vaccination efforts. while the vaccination. as you can see people are a lot i think there are at least a few dozens of people here in the line who are waiting to get in and we spoke to some of them before and what they told us is that you know it's really convenient because you can just walk in off the street and show your id and that's all you need to get vaccinated and you know it's also worth mentioning that this is probably the nicest place in moscow. right now to get

a job after all this is iconic the most famous russian department store and also what is worth mentioning is that the vaccination here is hard and that goes for every russian citizen. who has decided to get inoculated according to russia's healthier officials the main goal right now is to achieve herd immunity before the next. session it would last to have everyone get the shot and thus have no problem so solve we have not been able to mean nice people in such a scale from any type of infection by the fact that flu will be able to get 60 percent of the overall population in just the 1st year is a decrease you've met. over a 100 hospitals in moscow where you can get a job in a more traditional setting there are dozens of places. really popular in trendy

places mostly shopping malls but also in an exhibition center or even in a theater there are vaccines that are now available in the country the 1st one called sputnik me and then there is another one called at the corona both developed by russian scientists the whole procedure should take around 45 maybe if they came in as far as that person need to verify you're in good health you're feeling well and that if you're falling far for the knock elation they give you a shot after that he should stay around for at least maybe an hour just to make sure there are no immediate adverse reactions and if they're not you're good to go mathematics nation started in russia last december and according to those in charge of rolling up the jobs over a 1000000 people have been already vaccinated health care workers and essential workers whether bird got back. and now they're trying to why the next down the list

to get involved to involve more and more people become a righteous healthier minister is that the conference planning to ramp vaccine distribution in other regions by another 18000000 doses of spotlessly before the end of the month. if things constitute a risk of the reporter from was one of moscow's vaccination centers that. russia is not just trying to meet demand for its vaccine at home global demand for the sputnik the job has sold well look at who's been making orders a little later this. week service turn to the u.k. where a senior minister has sparked outrage by hinting brits may have to wait longer than 3 months for the 2nd kovi job the previously promised 12 week maximum weight was already criticized as being too long some people want

a bit concerned by saying you know you want to be able to deliver on getting that 2nd. can you guarantee that on 5 for example you will be able to get a 2nd more we absolutely are in fact we should be able to deliver it and i think we should be quietly confident does the government know something they w h o f d n fires they don't want the seriously willing to concede they are gambling with the nation's health by playing fast and loose with vaccines this is dangerous 2nd shot as 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 brisk. the different vaccines have been tested with different times between the 1st and 2nd doses they range from 3 weeks 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 get a 1st dose to more people that decision has been met with widespread criticism and

concern from both the public and even from within the medical profession a british doctor's campaign group of people to the health secretary to at least make exception for the pfizer vaccine which recommends the shortest gap between jobs and the statement the drug's firm points out that there's no data to say the 1st dose gives any protection beyond $21.00 days british communicable disease expert dr carney it says that the 2nd jab cannot be held up indefinitely the 2nd dose is crucial in boosting the immune levels so if you are so optimally immunized and then you never get that boost that immunity will eventually start to frayed and you become one rouble to infection we have to immunize as many as possible as fast as possible and i accept giving the one vaccine prevents 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 the immunities in

a given time span then we may be losing the protective effect of the 1st vaccine that we gave if that is the case it's very unfortunate therefore the 2nd vaccine ought to be given within a good timeframe not an indefinite time interval. in a shocking revelation doctors in the u.k. are reportedly being told to throw away leftover coronavirus vaccines similar incidents have been reported across the atlantic as well but shoppers in the u.s. were fortunate enough to receive a covert $1000.00 job on the spot they were offered the vaccine by an in-store pharmacist who is looking for any takers after 2 health care workers a mr boim it's not everyone is looking down on health specialists shared the story of a doctor who could not give left over doses to patients or technicians because of hospital policy by the time he did receive approval the doses had been thrown away but about comments on those issues 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 the people with the spare vaccine. in america a video of a woman suffering convulsions after receiving a coronavirus job has found safety fear you may find the images coming up now disturbing. brian brian his mother received the pfizer vaccine this was in

louisiana at the start of january according to a sun she hadn't experienced any kind of healthy she's prior to having the shot purana described his mother's condition in an exclusive interview with r.t. . just think she said that the day afterwards she woke up with a headache and she said every day since until today today's the 1st day she has. but she started noticing. seizure like movements in a way your left leg 1st you know it was 3 days afterwards and she was committed to the hospital before. you had no natural release when she was trying to walk the doctors said they think it's the metals and the vaccine. is causing her to have the neurological reaction. pfizer has not confirmed the case and said it was investigating but it's not the 1st time concerns have been raised over the safety of the cherub no waste company investigating the deaths of dozens of elderly people who recently received the fax seen griner again says the response he received to

his video suggests that his mom's case isn't a one off i've heard of other cases since i shared the video on facebook. thousands and thousands of people message me comment and average myself personally i haven't read all the messages but i've written hundreds of them myself personally if people tell me their stories their daughters or sons their mothers or you know maybe 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 big a comment you know it's it's not really something that i'm trying to entertain too much i don't know why people wouldn't trust they want to code vaccine to take away coded stakes and get back to normal. thing they say after the break russian opposition figure let's say enough has been after returning to moscow after almost

5 months in germany the scene is there recovering from the alleged poisoning a 10 story on the way.

it seems inevitable there will be new security regulations foust into law in the wake of the events on capitol hill the original day parade was made to legitimize the so-called war on terror with the patriot act 2.0 focus on domestic terror and how will the u.s. and change the e.u. once chosen a. college in tina's received a 2nd batch of the spinning facts comes as more countries sin latin america but opting for the russian. job with more details his whole kids. 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 before selling all to 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 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 paraguay 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 viz easy to

transport store is also competitively priced but could there be another 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 some alaskan american country in the case of venice . or york and a very limited i can weed back in economically in the u.k. based on the american made back in there out of reed you to be levied by water into that country. we can think of the the russian companies are 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 to the united states such as mexico or costa rica have already opted for western design vaccines brazil is there on the fence while plans to launch production of sputnik v. are in place regulatory approval as been delayed 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 sputnik the 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 it's protecting the people which comes 1st. naturally these issues are being politicized by many sectors 1st and foremost washington who politicized their distribution of the fighter vaccine to the allied countries especially here in latin america but this is of course counterproductive to the interests of the people who are essentially looking to get the cheapest acting quickly to safeguard their health and improve the health care system of the countries so i think it's to some extent it was inevitable that the distribution of the roxy was going to be polished inside by some sectors but i guess this is all to the detriment of the people living here in the continent. with the trump of ministration leaving the white house you might think there's a brand new team of faces poised to come in replace them the money of joe biden's key cabinet picks in fact back to the days of his old boss especially when it comes to the u.s. state department and he's run against the extracts. 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'd slipped into a parallel above the 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 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 she gives in with with cookies and smiles and gets you to trust says you'll have a friend and then says this behind your back. that would be great i think to help glue this thing and to have do you when you have 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 if 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 these are the people who helped bring trump to power they are they are part of what voters grew disenchanted with the and last wool is the endless deaths the endless failures that again don't 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 picks seem to be 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 neocon 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 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. kremlin critic. russian soil and was immediately arrested by police on arrival for violating his

probation the van they've been in germany receiving medical treatment after an incident last summer when she fell seriously ill during a flight or shinton quickly reacted to the arrest with us as foreign ministry asking the u.s. in turn 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 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 as i get to live with more. but here i am poor is 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 lead however at the last minute we got word that all incoming flights were being diverted to other at ports and the values flight was set to shut her mouth of us the other side of the capital now we know he

has 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 shack 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 fat warning about the potential consequences of consistent evaluating his probation now this is not the only us legal challenge ahead for the kremlin critic is also facing fresh allegations of florida 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

a penalty of up to 10 years behind bars blessed us remind ourselves of what's led up to this moment and wind of these are tough to russia has gone to so much attention. all old. not just on that last point about requests from german authorities on sas it became

clear that palin had said something to moscow but must go said that the material that was sent was so latino and substance that really it couldn't be considered anything useful or worthy of anything of cooperation never the last we've seen the e.u. sanctions senior russian officials over the novell nice saga which looks like it might still be continuing. 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. it brings up today don't forget plenty more news stories available you can check them out by heading to our website auntie dot com. tethers financial survival guide i don't buy a i prize on a futures. face almost a friday as a lesson about buying from the future trucker watch keyser. the world is

driven by a dream shaped by one person. the day there's thinks. we dare to ask. nuclear power plants will become a battleground in the us in vermont people love demanding the shutdown of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no clare power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limit this case just sort of puts

a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional but just appearing to barker's easier power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways our struggle. hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered on peter lavelle it seems inevitable there will be new security regulations passed into law in the wake of the events on capitol hill the original patriot act was made law to legitimize

the so-called war on terror will the patriot act 2.0 focus on domestic care and how will the u.s. and gauge the e.u. once joe's an office. to discuss these issues and more i'm joined by my guest george samueli in budapest he is an author and a you tuber at the gaggle and we have plenty isn't in oslo he is an associate professor at the university of south used her norway as well as author of the new book russian conservatism originally crosstown prose in fact that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it ok let's go to church in budapest 1st like i said in my introduction george i think we have to a kind of a parallel structure here and we have the so-called war on terror after 911 which was an utter failure ok we can talk about that on the sidelines here but it seems to me that the this is

a template they do you know the war on terror is now the war on domestic terrorism but the difference is that the war on terror was. there was assessment of the risks ok. and i said as i said there was another failure they these assessments during correct but it seems to me if you're going to have a war on domestic share then you're bringing in an ideological element because what is terrorism what is domestic and who decides that go ahead yes that's a very good question. and. this patriot act 2.0 that seems. the beav in the woods is really not so much a response to what happened on january the 6th but a response to the election i mean it's an election that will be disputed in the coming year as much as the 2016 election was disputed pretty

much throughout the trunk is so i think this is a preemptive attack all the dispute that is going to take place during the next 4 years i think i think the the biden people have real questions of legitimacy hanging over them i think we have a presidency that no one really wanted a year ago that nobody in his right mind would have believed that by this really we cracked it sort of fake at all popular with his own with his own party will become the president of the united states so i think it's a response to that. but i think that it's really going to be a very dangerous situation because this is as the original patriot act was was an attack on the muslims on.
