expanding its mass vaccination program the aim to get 60 percent of the population inoculated this year. reports from a central moscow vaccination. this is probably the nicest place in moscow right now where you can get a jab i mean just look at the gorgeous architecture and decoration of russia's iconic most payments department store face the red square and the kremlin wall now the vaccination is free of charge and that goes for every russian citizen who have decided to take a jab all you need is to show your id and name your field award according to russia's top health care officials the main goal right now is to achieve herd immunity before the next fall. secondly it would love to have everyone get the shot and thus have no problem so far we have not been able to meet people in such a scale from any type of infection by the fact that flu will be able to get 60
5:02 am
percent of the overall population in oxalate it in just the 1st year is a big achievement. so in addition to over a 100 hospitals in moscow where you can get a job at a more traditional setting so to speak there are dozens of vaccination outposts and . really popular and even trendy places that mostly inside shopping malls but also in an exhibition center and even in a theater there are now 2 that seems available the 1st one called sputnik v. and then there was another one called the corona both developed by russian scientists the whole procedure should take around 45 minutes for his doctors need to verify you're in good health you're feeling while and then if you are qualified for the knock elation they give you a shot and after that you should stay around for at least 45 minutes just to make sure there are no immediate adverse. reactions now vaccination started in
5:03 am
russia last december and according to those in charge of rolling out the japs there are over a 1000000 people who have been already vaccinated health care and essential workers were the 1st who got vaccinate. it and now they keep widening the list to include more and more people. russia's health care minister is that other countries wanted to run part vaccine distributing in other regions why now there are $2000000.00 doses of spike nick we by the end of the month. versus the time to meet demand for its vaccine at home global demand for of the sport being sought to look at who's altering it a little later in the program. meanwhile in the u.k. a senior minister there respond outraged by hinting brits may have to wait longer than 3 months for the 2nd covert jumped the previous the promised 12 week maximum weight was already criticized as being too long some people want
5:04 am
a bit concerned saying you know you want to be able to deliver on getting that 2nd ice event can you guarantee that on 5 for example you will be able to get a 2nd well we absolutely are in fact 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 well obviously risk you're willing to concede they're 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 risk. 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 now that decision was met with widespread criticism and concern from both the public and also from within the medical profession itself
5:05 am
a british doctor's campaign group appeared to the health secretary to at least make exception for the pfizer vaccine which recommends the shortest gap between jobs in a statement the drug's firm points out there's no data to say the 1st dose gives protection beyond 21 days british communicable diseases expert dr barrett and carney says that the 2nd tower 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 their 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
5:06 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 then a shocking revelation doctors in the u.k. are reportedly being told to throw away leftover coronavirus vaccines similar incidents have been reported to across the atlantic. however 2 shoppers in the us were fortunate enough to receive a covert 1000 job on the spot they were off the vaccine by an in-store pharmacist who was looking for any takers to 2 health care workers have missed their appointments not everyone is so lucky though on health specialist shared a story of a doctor who couldn't give left over doses to patients or technicians because of hospital policy by the time he received approval the doses have been thrown away but carney again i think there is a lot of inertia in people rising above regulations sometimes that
5:07 am
regulations that are written now need to be challenge to it's a shame to waste a vaccine 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 in america a video of a woman suffering convulsions after she received the coronavirus job has found safety fears and warning you may find some of these images disturbing. drawing his mother received the fines a vaccine in louisiana at the start of january and according to sun she hadn't

5:09 am
a one off. i've heard of other cases since i shared the video on facebook i've 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 member members of their family have had breakfast other vaccines our plot of some of them had a lot of messages that are negative say and this is your mom or you know you're lying or whatever negative comments 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 that they want to code vaccine to take away codes things and get back to normal. things and that's left of the break fully of russian opposition figure looks in a valley has been detained after returning to moscow fallen almost 5 months in germany where he was recovering from an alleged poisoning attempt to bring you that

so-called war on terror with the patriot act to play no focus on domestic terror and how will the u.s. against the e.u. once chosen to. come back argentina has received a 2nd batch of disciplining the vaccine it becomes a small countries across latin america have been opting for the russian job the details is auntie's down hawkins. 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
5:12 am
before selling all to their neighbors north america and europe have made their own pitch while competing vaccines have been subjected to increase 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 paraguay proves 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 as thought local production with mexico peru and brazil also potential customers yes sputnik ves easy to transport and store it's also competitively priced but could there be another factor let's face it as far as neighbors go do it politically north and
5:13 am
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 a more like an american country than in a case of benefit or york and a very limited i can we back in economically in the u.k. . and the american made back in their out of read you can be levied by work in that country. we can theme of the the russian companies have far less exposure to us punitive measures. in them from the us. and increasing the possibility to trade in with partners like venezuela countries traditionally closer to the united
5:14 am
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 3 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 v. corp 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 the few that are being played by many sectors personally
5:15 am
involved with washington who are politicized their distribution of the height of act into that country the pressure here in latin america with 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. with the trump of ministration leaving the white house he might think there's a brand new team of faces poised to come in and replace them but to back many of joe biden's key cabinet picks hark back to the days of his old boss especially when it comes to the u.s. state department auntie's rogue is the if explains. out with the old and then with the well even older it seems go ahead and flick through do biden state department
5:16 am
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
5:17 am
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 widely 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. tao would be great i think to help glue this thing and to have do you when help glue it and you know you 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
5:18 am
who she's trash talking this stuff would 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 these are the people who helped bring trump to power they are they are part of what voters grew disenchanted with the and lost wolves 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
5:19 am
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 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 are 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
5:20 am
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 collection of on his back on russian soil and was immediately arrested by police on arrival for violating his probation in the valley been in germany probably not receiving medical treatment after an incident last summer and when she fell seriously ill during a flight washington was quick to react to his arrest and the russia's foreign ministry
5:21 am
asking the u.s. to focus instead on internal issues. in response to mr sullivan as well as many other foreign figures who publish pre-prepared comments respect international law did 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 he wants their voices heard with more of the story his aunties. but here i am. just to the southwest of mosco and around 7 30 pm local time russian opposition forgot it was a cue to land on that flight from by lynn 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
5:22 am
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 fat warning about the potential consequences of consistent evaluating his probation now this is not the only a 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 a penalty of up to 10 years behind bars blessed us remind ourselves of what's led
5:23 am
up to this moment and why novell needs a ton to russia has gone to so much attention. or. not just on that last point about requests from german authorities it became clear that berlin had said something to moscow but most case said that the material that was said was so lucky and substance that really it couldn't be considered anything
5:24 am
useful or worthy of anything of cooperation nevertheless we seen the e.u. sanctions senior russian officials over the novell nice saga which looks like it might still be continuing and 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. paris is urging washington and tehran to return to the iran nuclear deal fronts along with britain and germany alleges iran is in violation by building up its nuclear weapons capacity something the iranian foreign minister has rejected the 250 deal was signed by 7 states it was supposed to limit iran's nuclear capability in exchange for sanctions relief but in 2018 the u.s. withdrew from going to iran to suspend some of its commitments it has since acquired more than 12 times the amount of enriched uranium permitted by the deal.

he's going on the grounds latest guest is former iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad whose sister his country's a peaceful one you can watch the full program on our channel later today or by heading to a website called. 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 dude ash the point is over how will. make any difference to iran us relations he's of course a very good friend of israel from our standpoint it makes no difference who is president in the us 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 us administration and
5:26 am
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 luck to say when there was demonstrations on the streets of tehran yes in their foreign policy they meddle in all the affairs of countries 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-human and has turned the world into a place where an arms race has jeopardized everyone security i'm opposed to this world management model and believe that all nations and human beings can live in friendship he's a member other hard. staying without international more not top stories coming your way and often are.
5:27 am
l. look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the 1st law show your identification for should be very careful about artificial intelligence at the point of view screen is to create trusts ever other than sheer. length on various johnson with artificial intelligence will summon the demon. the robot must protect its own existence and existence. will. join me every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to get off of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see that.
5:28 am
nuclear power plants are become a battleground in the u.s. government people are demanding the shut down of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no prayer power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limits 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 participatory democracy is a power line with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways the struggle.
5:29 am
my maps in atlanta and welcome to going underground less than 48 hours before the 46th president of the united states is inaugurated in washington d c joining me now is someone who campaigned for a democrat nominee that was narrowly beaten by joe biden bernie sanders his name is ben cohen he's founder of the famous ice cream company ben and jerrys and he's an activist as well as a businessman ben welcome from burlington vermont i got to start with even before trump and by going to start talking about covert because here in britain it's worse by capita than the united states but nevertheless how have you got a quarter of the world's cases with only 4 percent of the world's population how
5:30 am
bad is. as far as you can see. you know it's getting worse. there's a surge. you know here i mean an intimate we have very few cases but you know it's it's you know tripled probably since. you know the last month or so you know in a sense this does relate to a question being asked by those on the bernie sanders and of the democrats which is why instead of pursuing impeachment in the house which presumably stands no particular purpose i'm in a political feather why do that instead of a talking about medicare for all and trying to get that hammett end to the brains of the new biden administration when they take office.
