it's a sunday in our news review of the week the iran signed a deal with russia to make the sputnik vico. exclusive interview the country's foreign minister told us why. russian the russian ric's vaccine we have a very bad experience with another western countries are told do not want to name. as bolivia argentina become the latest latin american states to get hundreds of thousands of russian covert shot doses of the heads of the un heralding can play to fight the virus. from some. campaigns meantime grinding to a halt in parts of those countries as doses of their western vaccines run out

doctors to question the eaves hold procurement system. the vaccine is not being delivered at the rate that we anticipated it's a real problem for the national vaccination plan and it means autonomy regions will have to review their strategies. and the u.k. tightens its lot one of the worst daily death tolls mulling a g.p.s. system to know maybe to track infected people we put that controversial idea up for debate idea of g.p.s. tracking for the birds they'll never implement in time anyway we've got to get back to work we've got to get back to work now because they did nothing to come back to if we let this continue much longer i'm worried that we're we are storing up lots of problems for ourselves we've got to get out of this quickly and the way to do it is to keep these restrictions going to get people back.

hi welcome to the weekly here in r t a runner but the top stories of the last 7 days as reported by us to you on is kevin. the 1st iran's become the latest country to approve the sputnik the covert vaccine it will buy and manufacture the shot as well in an exclusive interview iran's foreign minister told us why they chose it over western alternatives is my lights from what he had to say i think it was a public health problem with some political can conservations about the intentions of the united states and the lack of trust which is which is very clear we have a very bad experience with another western country that i do not want to name they sent to iran. blood that had. white us. and so a lot of people needing blood transfusion resteal need to investigate it. but that

was certainly a major public health problem in you know we will get. russian the russian rigs vaccine we will get the chinese vaccine or in close touch with all of them be real good in the end of a vaccine but our own iranian produced vaccines went through the 1st cycle of human. clinical testing and we hope by june we will be able to use our own way. meanwhile in india the final stages sputnik the clinical trials well underway there with plans to get emergency approval and to distribute the vaccine for march the country's envoy to moscow says he's already had the job. i took it last week. the 1st also sputnik roxanne i feel perfectly real many of my colleagues in the embassy have done so as well and. absolutely certain that this is part of the normal. precautions that we take her during the pending

situation just as we're near to mosque we have sort of a distance but it is also good to pick scientifically proven scenes and of course the sport big bucks in is one such works in latin america is also increasingly betting on the russian job living in argentina the latest than to receive hundreds of thousands of doses from moscow this week the u.n. secretary general saying sputnik the can play a key role in tackling the pandemic comes as the e.u. stuff is huge delays and shortages from other vaccine manufacturers are trying because report brought us more on the. news on vaccine distribution challenges delays in deliveries you may be sick and tired of it but this is the reality around the world even the trust between countries is being put to the test as the scramble for vaccine doses intensifies concerns over how castro governments and regions like latin america will be able to secure enough jobs for their nations in time are

even more serious the ultimate remedy for it is more vaccines cheaper vaccines this explains why the head of the u.n. is counting on the russian vaccine and wants to get the green light for it asap we hope the w.h.o. will approve russia's covered 1000 vaccine as soon as possible it can play a very important role in the fight against a pandemic it seems though for some latin american countries waiting for the final w.h.o. approval may prove to be way too costly while corona virus infections in russia are pivoting bag down skepticism for sputnik v. has all but vanished demand is on the up and moscow's keen to help. the 1st shipment of the russian jab is only intended for 20000 bolivian medics but it's still crucial for those on the covert front line the 1st 20000 doses of the

vaccines have arrived in bolivia to stop the 2nd wave of the covert 19 pandemic the bolivian president luis r. se has personally welcome to shipment at the international airport eventually bolivia will get enough sputnik the doses to immunize 2600000 people the president wants to cement confidence in the vaccine by getting the job to. the russian creation is set to become very most used vaccine in mexico in the 1st 3 months of this year and the country that is just about to certify the use of sputnik the january house proved to be disastrous. with the worst spike ever in new covert cases the president tested positive last week but the leaders happy has been able to seal the deal with moscow to 12000000 people we spoke with the president of the russian federation vladimir putin and he was genuine and cool deal i invited him to visit mexico and thank him for the decision to send us 24000000 doses of the

sputnik the vax and over the next 2 months. argentina was the pioneer in trying out sputnik among latin american countries the 1st jabs arrived and when osiris at the end of december and after getting the data on side effects only one percent of those who received the shot had some sort of issues but us loudest went on to order 22000000 doses with the latest batch having just arrived the president and the vice president have both taken the russian vaccine argentina has been dubbed the global testing ground for moscow's vaccine drive well so far so good and the infamous curve in the country has gone past its peak in the united granted we need more people bucks in name in america so to know how we could box in the only 50 percent of the workers because we have only to find the telephone box

scenes in the theaters and the need to do so much now we are receiving 5000000 or more of those and wish to lead the bucks initial round with $25000000.00 used for your own posts if the trend is more and more evident you probably shouldn't shy away from what they call vokoun are also in spanish if you want a quicker escape from the red zone for your country. we turn the e.u. and it will control the export of covert vaccinations given the drastic job shortages in the block it came following a wave of criticism from member states. we must stand up to brussels and demand more doses we need more vaccines and more tests and everything that distracts from this task will prolong the fight against the virus this is a collision of concerns that the transparency and export of ordinary iraqis. as a protection and safety of our citizens is that the. challenges we now face left us

was no other choice but to act in spain the 2 most populous regions of hold had their inoculation campaigns because of the shortages catalonia and the madrid region have used up almost all the doses with the remaining vials needed to give 2nd shots for those who already had the 1st it's likely to ruin the government plans to an ocular most of the population by june and the head of the country's vaccination association told us in the week that the shortage is nationwide so. the number of doses we're receiving has been significantly reduced the vaccine is not being delivered to the raid we anticipated it's a real problem for the national vaccination plan and it means a ton of us regions will have to review their strategies the supplies we do have will be needed to give 2nd dozers to those who have already started the vaccination process so will not be able to knock you are very vulnerable and increase groups that were identified in the original plan it's

a difficult and uncomfortable situation and a similar pictures playing out across the e.u. we're just 2 percent of people being vaccinated so far the czech republic's having to stop administering jobs completely for 2 weeks because of a lack of doses while paris and some other parts of france have perspired there to spain's inoculation chief again saying brussels should have moved quicker to secure robust supplies from pharma giants. i do not like the lack of transparency with regards to the contracts the european union has concluded with pharmaceutical companies we don't know about of them we don't know the purchase price we don't know anything at all and i think that's wrong of course we're concerned that apparently those countries did purchase vaccines in a higher price than the european union have not experienced such delay in delivery we are not at all satisfied with the current situation. there in the u.k. announced it was cracking down on trips abroad travelers will now be turned back at

the border if they can't give valid reasons for travel pretty patel the home secretary's announcement coming after britain's 2nd highest daily death toll from cove it the rules are clear people should be staying at home unless they happen followed the rules entirely going on holiday is not a valid reason further britain also announced rules for travel from what it calls high risk countries people flying from the 30 listed nations must quarantine in a government approved hotel at their own expense a little cause to go even further to with one top official denouncing a mass failure to follow rules not just borders and monitoring new strains but time to fix the biggest flaw in our current strategy namely that 3 quarters of those with symptoms do not self eiseley jeremy hunt wants to use g.p.s. tracking through people's mobile phones to make sure they self isolate is cited

poland and taiwan as successfully using the method in the way they're mccullagh nicaea and discuss the thorny subject of enhanced sing restrictions with our guests that like to know your thoughts on the their parents or for g.p.s. tracking what you think of that. or just the i guess i'm not sure i mean i think that's a bit over the top really i think what we haven't done through all this process is get out test race and isolate work if you want to get your domestic market economy back on the up and running you do what australia or new zealand have done 0 cove in they got 0 coded by chance in their borders good tech to test trace and isolate by quarantine and by providing support for people into isolation but we've got what we've got to do is we've got to accept that this disease will exist that this disease is probably not going to be seasonal forever we have got to protect the elderly and the vulnerable and britain has done incredibly well with the vaccination program but in terms of people who are not clinically vulnerable those people need to be sent back to work and we certainly need to open up the schools

the idea of g.p.s. tracking people is for the personnel never implemented in time anyway we know that most of the introductions of the virus into the u.k. during the 1st wave of the pandemic and indeed you in the 2nd were travelers returning from mainland europe and i think it might be too late now but nevertheless we are faced with a new virus variants and i guess this strategy is to try and stop the introduction of these more worrying variants of the virus that has been in all of piety within the british government when the matter how crazy the idea is somebody comes along and says they want an even more crazy and draconian rule broadhead we have that these people run absolutely right and what has happened we are the public sector debt is now 2.13 trillion in the sense that we borrowed 38000000000 pounds he's absolutely bananas we've got to get back to work we've got to get back to work now because they'll be nothing to come back to if we let this continue much

longer while that's most of that's ridiculous isn't it so we're going to let all these early people die out we were going to let this virus spread and there in fact is dated by the 50 vaccinated by the 15th in february as you well know as making. assumption the vaccines are going to work and they're going to transmit your make you make you so sure that the economy can exist if you lock it down for a year just to find out you know we're going to have to learn some very seriousness and this will not be the last pandemic and i think we and many other countries we're not alone in this we're not prepared for this we learnt some hard lessons over march and april but we have far too much we didn't delay got the balance wrong we need to stop the banks and only about the medical issue and we need to start seeing it in the wider context and accept the brics and those need to continue as a country and the has to be a balance between keeping people safe and also maintaining the wealth and livelihoods and educate all this culture of how the conversation went on things

sorting out international this weekend looking out the window snowing here today but moscow bracing for a 2nd weekend of anti-government demonstrations nonetheless we look at that contrasting way the west treats them as opposed to the road various domestic rallies that have been taking place and that story more coming up. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race based on often scary dramatic development the only way i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by.

no dares thinks. we should ask. again how we could day despite the snow moscow is bracing for unauthorized demonstrations meantime one of them's already taken place in the city of light of all stock in russia's far east though the protest that seems failed to draw as many

people as last weekend police made more than 70 arrests is the latest throughput the event of the wars seem to pass without too much incident similar marches have also been held in a number of other cities all relatively poorly attended all through the week the us and e.u. though were vocal in their support of protested russia triggered by the jailing of the kremlin critic alexina valmy without raised eyebrows for some to do with the same western governments treating far bigger rallies in their own but rather differently as our senior correspondent explains. the united states has come out in the strongest terms against the suppression of protests and against. let me try again the united states says it can deadens police brutality it other countries the united states strongly condemns the use of harsh tactics against protesters and journalists this weekend in cities throughout russia prior to today's events the russian government sought to suppress the rights to peaceful assembly and freedom

of expression i've go to ahead and put together a least a list of people in their disease that have the right to lecture others on police brutality so there's lawyers for example they know this stuff right what's legal and what isn't. there is the pope i'm not catholic but i haven't seen vatican security roughing anyone up recently than is yada yada oh oh there's no america in this least the very good reason there won't be defining there won't be a dismantling of our police and they're not going to be any dispensing of our police our police have been letting us live in peace we can't give up the finest law enforcement anywhere in the world is nothing like it. few people few countries have a record and trouble is right few countries have a police force that unhinged i didn't see anyone getting shot in moscow nor t.

aghast nor sprayed with water cannons but that was trouble let's see what biden thinks about all position protests witnessed yesterday was not dissent it was not disorder it was not protest it was chaos. there were protesters don't dare call them protesters very were a riotous mob insurrections the terrors. stat basic it's that simple look nobody is ever again buying your lectures about police brutality the world has seen by in the mosques not that it stops some from dr but i do find this authoritarian drift is very worrying so there is frauds writes in the 1st 3 months of the year of this protests french police arrested 10000 protesters people died people will crippled last eyes lost lives here gas and

rubber bullets were used in france in industrial quantities and you know what macro and is proud of the police do not speak of repression or police violence these words are unacceptable where there. as rule of law then is germany demanding the release of all peaceful protesters detained in russia detained for peacefully attacking police peacefully punching traffic cops and peacefully destroying cars maiming drivers and marshaling kids 1011 year olds to attend violent protests germany itself has been rattled with anti lockdown protests and you know what the german officials and police did they dismiss them as loons crazies extremists and beat them around the head for good measure the democratic constitution states is alive in the police or is protective shield a thing called the emergency services for this important service to a country that was a target not long ago when the world looked up to europe and america as beacons of

freedom and liberty the right way to do things but that beacon that light has gone out there are no illusions anymore about europe or america being superior or better than everyone else the time for hypocritical lectures has passed no one can be bothered to listen anymore. it's really slipped a ban on take talk uses of fire the rage of her 10 year old girl died while trying to complete a dare on the video sharing out the so-called blackout challenge involves people choking themselves to temporarily pass over the youngster was found dead in her bathroom. getting that diana factor the medics did everything they could to bring the child back to life but unfortunately although the heart immediately started beating again the brain had been starved of oxygen

for too long due to the strangulation after a few hours or even very simple coma we concluded she was brain dead. it's a sad tale to talk insist that uses safety as a priority and bans any dangerous behavior but the tally in lawyer specializing in online cases spoke to us and says that in his view social networks must do more to get i mean last clearly the story of this little girl is truly tragic it makes us reflect on the role of social networks in the lives of minors yes parents must pay attention and control their children but there must be social control of the constant the mind is can see on these networks a social network cannot just say a minor has stated that they are old enough to use the op they should check it if very for cation a child access is the platform and sees violent content the social network would be responsible in this case is necessary to determine whether the tick-tock social network really has some responsibilities when this video of the child was actually viewed by tick-tock or not the italian data protection authority has opened an

investigation against to talk into this because it's trying to understand where the access to minors is actually legitimate and legal about why before i leave you with our news runner for the week on a lighter note no sure way science fiction is becoming a reality were brought you this one got a lot of people talking to moscow may get its 1st flying taxis within a couple of years russian urban air mobility companies testing so-called passenger drones seem to work out he's called since he was called was 1st in the queue. and just like that city traffic is no longer an issue instead of driving along congested highways this taxi should lift you up and take you from a to b. by a or. by the way there are no paddles or a steering wheel i mean the whole thing is supposed to be controlled by

a person remotely or by computer programs the only thing i can do while inside is to pull the rad not in case of emergency can babble it jacked it parachute. of course using it as the air transport transport for passengers like air so to speak in the big congested see is the 1st thing that comes to mind but it also might be useful for various city services like ambulance for example and russia's health care ministry and emergency ministry are reported to be extremely interested in this invention the safety is the idea of the flying car of the holder the idea

of don't fix it is by what's inside it and it doesn't just just sit there choose the points on the map and the flight and that's all for the flying drones market has been booming for the last few years with many developers in europe china and america creating prototypes a chinese company hank for example made an aerial vehicle that can not only fly people but also how to put out fires and there still might be quite a few bombs. in the way of this particular area taxi before the project can take off well 1st of all it needs an investor who could start mass production and 2nd city authorities must figure out where to allow such vehicles to operate as for now moscow considering devoting certain areas within the city limits for outdoor tasks to bring in hopes moscow could be one of the 1st capitals to use the catch phrase of doc brown back to the future to lure an inventor of. the.

way for the good to be in the queues but it chilly that's the way things shaped up in the news one does few of the last 7 days thanks to check in with this series more scope kevin though in his service and have a great rest of this week and. right now all the. people who are overweight or obese it's profitable to self. and sugary and salty and addictive it's not at the individual level and it's not individual willpower and if we go on believing never change this obesity epidemic that industry has been influencing very deeply the medical and
