refused to believe that she would. have that would affect a whole day but i decided not to take physics like. i gave you the. brush expanded covert vaccine program with the goal of immunizing more than half the country's population by the end a big year. plus a 2nd batch of sputnik arrives in argentina as demand for the russian jobs soars in latin america. and us present alike joe biden packs his state department with obama era veterans some with a track record of promoting military interventions. welcome

to the program and a happy monday to you all this is our 2 international bring you your live news update this hour. russia is expanding its kovan $1000.00 vaccination program the aim is to get 60 percent of the population in occupied this year artie's constantino rosko for ports from central moscow. the vaccination point here is up and running and as you can see people are lining up for the naki lation i think there are at least a few dozen here but before i give you a quick tour around here let me take a moment and just quickly point out that this is probably the nicest place in moscow right now to take a jap i mean after all this is a russia's iconic most famous department store right in the heart of russia's capital now let's get inside. all right we're in so this is the reception desk morning and this is where you need to show your passport and that's about all you need to do to get a vaccine here the entire procedure should take around 45 minutes so 1st doctors

need to verify you're in good health you're feeling well and then if you qualify for the you not collation then you should follow to that room over there i'm fine i just have a nature throat perhaps you just need to drink some water yeah i already have i feel better now you know are you have you already thought about how your life will change once you develop antibodies. i hope it will change because i work in a museum we have lots of ways of tears so i hope my life will get better some do you know who i thought it was hurts more after the injection because this vaccine is supposed to be more serious than a flu jab before this which i feel no difference it's just like every of the show the sooner or later i decided to get the job while ago i was just waiting for the opportunity honestly i should have been inoculated in a local clinic but i just wanted to speed up the process because i want to be immune as quickly as possible that this summer i mean you know yes my husband and

my friends took the job i have no reservations so i want to get it as soon as possible i think the more people that get it the great a in fact let's roll should it will have been the this is where they are getting the vaccines to the people and the lady over here and she's just getting ready for . to receive a vaccine that countries are just going to say they need shot in the show would just say yes. you know our eyes are she's about to get the vaccine but she is. if you see asked about that by the way this metal box over here at this is where all the doses are being kept the temperature is minus 35 degrees celsius and that's what you need for a spot nicky by the way there are 2 vaccines that are available in russia right now 1st one called sputnik b. then there is another one called epi corona both are developed by russian scientists according to russia's health care officials main goal right now is to

develop herd immunity so for the next 4 years the show should certainly it would love to have everyone get the shot and thus have no problem so far we have not been able to be nice people on such a scale from any type of infection but if that's the will be able to get 60 percent of the overall population in the uk you laid it in just the 1st year is a big achievement mass vaccination started in russia last december and according to those in charge are rolling out the jobs there are over 1000000 people here who have been already taken a job health care and essential workers for the 1st to receive the vaccine and now they're trying to expand the list to get more and more people involved russia's health care minister said that the country is planning to run public scene distribution in other regions by another 2000000 doses of spotted me. russia is not just working to meet demand for its not seen at home a global demand for its public the job has soared well look at who's ordering later

in the program. in the u.k. and senior minister has sparked outrage by hinting that brits may have to wait longer than 3 months for their 2nd jab they previously promised 12 week maximum wage was already criticized as too long. can you guarantee that on 5 for example you will be able to get a 2nd dose 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 that w h o f d a and pfizer don't want the seriously willing to concede their gambling with the nation's health by playing fast and loose with covert 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 and a promising rather than a real risk the different vaccines have been tested with different times between the 1st and 2nd doses ranging from 3 weeks to 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 and that decision it was met with widespread criticism and concern from both the public and medical professionals and a british doctor's campaign group has even appealed to the health secretary to at least make an exception for the pfizer vaccine which recommends the shortest route between jobs and the statements the drug firm pointed out that there is no data to say the 1st dose gets production beyond $21.00 days but is communicable diseases expert dr barker up on kanya says the 2nd job can't 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 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 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 meanwhile doctors in the u.k. are reportedly being told to throw away a leftover corona virus vaccines similar incidents happen reported across the atlantic as well but to shoppers in the united states were fortunate enough to receive a covert $1000.00 job on the spot they were offered the vaccine by an in-store pharmacists who is looking for any takers after 2 health care workers missed their appointments but not everyone is so lucky one health specialist share the story of a doctor who could not give left over doses to patients or technicians due to

hospital policy by the time he received approval doses had been thrown away dr. commented on the issue i think there is a lot of inertia in people rising above tight regulations sometimes regulations that are written out need to be challenged it is a shame to waste 2 axioms if you have got them spread 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. 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 they 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 caused a stir a warning some viewers may find the following images upset ng garners mother received the pfizer vaccine in louisiana at the beginning of january and according to her son she had experienced any health issues before getting the shot try to describe his mother's condition and in exclusive interview with our team she said that the day afterwards she woke up with a headache and she's had a headache every day since until today today's the 1st day she has headaches but she started noticing. seizure like movements generally in their left leg 1st. it was 3 days afterwards and she was admitted to the hospital before days with she had no control of her legs when she was trying to walk doctors said they think it's. the medals and the vaccine. is causing her to have the neurological reaction pfizer has not confirmed the case but says it's investigating it's not the 1st time

concerns have been raised over the safety of the shot norway is currently investigating the deaths of dozens of elderly people who had recently received the vaccine runner says the response he received to his video suggests his mother's case isn't the only one 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 read hundreds of a muscle personally of 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 you know had a lot of messages that are negative say and this is a 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 coded things and

get back to normal. still to come this hour we bring you the latest on a russian opposition figure head alex and ironically was arrested after returning to moscow from germany a story more after the break. the world is driven by shaped by one person. thinks. week to ask.

it seems inevitable the new security regulations fast into law in the wake of the events on capitol hill the original tape was made to legitimize the so-called war on terror the patriot act you clearly know focus on domestic there. will be us against the e.u. once. welcome back russian opposition activists are saying the mommy has just been given 30 days in pretrial detention by a court here in moscow he was detained on sunday for parole violations after flying in from germany where he underwent treatment for an alleged poisoning we cannot cross lines to r.t.c.

for more on that tell us about today's court hearing well jack you've been hearing lawsuit for about for several hours and at the end of it the judge gave the verdict $3030.00 day sentence a 30 day arrest now this hearing was it seemed like it was almost a surprise one for instance the lawyer of the kremlin critic she said that she was officially informed about the hearing. only one minute before it actually started so it was it was quite a surprise thing and not a lot of people expected alexina value to get this rest sentence so quickly now election of ali he as you've said he returned back to russia from berlin just yesterday where he was in berlin obviously he was treated for what he and some western labs of called a poisoning by a military grade nerve agent so he has come back to russia and he was arrested

a border he boarded checkpoint now white thing is back in 2014 alexina valley got a suspended sentence he was found guilty of embezzle meant and he was out essentially he was out on parole so he was supposed to report on his whereabouts to the authorities regularly but when he fell into a coma and was transported to berlin for treatment obviously he couldn't do so but the authorities the world the closed the closed their eyes on it and they didn't just didn't bother him with that but he was he was released from hospital at the end of september and for several months the russian authorities were unaware about his whereabouts so this is the reasoning behind what the authorities are doing here this is essentially the official position of russia's law enforcement that he that he violated his parole terms and that's why they are now demanding that the

suspended sentence should be swapped for a real one now the this this whole thing this election of the election of ali's ordeal starting with the world with the treatment in berlin and we with his return back home it has. caused some severe well it has drawn some reaction from western nations like from the u.s. from france from other europe. peon nations nato's chief of young stalled and bird also here as well he has called on the russian authorities to release the lexan of army to not arrest him in this sort of echoed the general the general outcry international outcry should say so but also this the return of a lexan of army had also gone ated not dominated but rather it has it has being it has drawn the spotlight adjourning a media conference of the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov which happened

earlier today here's what the russian foreign minister had to say about all the attention this case is getting such as novell these cases got so much undue international to listen to everything that happens to the valley regarding his return in detention is the business of law enforcement agencies we are talking about enforcing russian laws if in some of the countries simplemente should have their own laws is considered to be of secondary importance to achieving some geopolitical goals this is their problems in our case law enforcement agencies have made their position clear. because while some some human rights groups have already designated election of ali as a prisoner of conscience as a prisoner as a political prisoner as well the next court hearing is sure to take place on the 29th of january so we will be looking out to how this will play out for the

famous kremlin critic party as it goes down of thank you for bringing us that report. argentina has received a 2nd batch of these sputnik the vaccine it comes as more countries across latin america have been opting for the russian and take over it shut artie's and harkins has more. 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 on 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 paraguay proved the

increasing interest of latin american countries in a safe and effective russian vaccine against coronavirus 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. 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 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. back in the american made back in there out of read you can be levied by working in that country. we can think of the the russian companies are far less think. the us unit of measure. in them from the us. an increase in 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 designed 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 is 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 high 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 vaccine quickest to safeguard their health and improve the health care system of the country so i think it's to some extent it was inevitable that the distribution

of the roxy was going to be politicized by some sectors but i guess this is all to the detriment of the people living here in the continent. with the trumpet ministration leaving the white house soon you might think there's a brand new team of faces poised to come in and replace them but 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 as art is more gossip 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'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 a 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. dawood 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 these are the people who helped bring trump to power they are they are part of what voters grew disenchanted with the and lost wool is the endless deaths the endless failures but then again they would 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 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 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 that's been your global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always had tar website are to dot com for the details on all the stories and many more. when i was told seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any of the balls to get to shape out these days to come out ahead and in the game train because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

so we were. going to name chris mccomb you may. remember the just can stuff it up with if they get in your show that oh. i'm talking about is a very international community i. mean it used to trick we're going to play. with just a few but is this the stuff that i need to do. for the push some of the with respect to the brazil so there nuchal script. is everything produced the lead with the front of t.v. with any of the. 5 they have that would affect all day but i decided not to take

the place. with my gig and tell you that. 6 guys are financial survival guide. when customers go by to reduce the price. in elf well reduce of flour. that's undercutting but what's good for market is not good for the global economy.

hello and welcome to cross top where all things are considered i'm 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 blamed deeson in oslo he is an associate professor at the university of south eastern norway as well as author of the new book russian conservatism originally crosstown prose and back 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 to be in the works is really not so much a response to what happened on.
