this is the weekly here on our team welcome to our roundup of the headlines that shape the week. first iran's become the latest country to approve the sputnik of eco back seen it will by and manufacture the shot in exclusive interview iran's foreign minister told us why they chose it over western alternatives are some of the highlights of what he had to say. i think it was a public health problem with some political can considerations 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 we still need to investigate it but that

6:04 am
of the normal. precautions that we take during the pending situation just as we near a mosque we have sort of a distance but it is also good to take scientifically proven back scenes and of course this particular accident is one such vexing. latin america is also increasingly betting on the russian job bolivia and argentina are the latest to receive hundreds of thousands of doses from moscow this week the u.n. secretary general says sputnik the can play a key role in tackling the pandemic it comes as the e.u. suffers huge delays and shortages from other vaccine manufacturers are trying to go reports brought us more on that. 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
6:05 am
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
6:06 am
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 900 pandemic the bolivian president luis r. say 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 the 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. astra's with the worst spike ever in new covert cases the president tested positive last week but the leader is happy has been able to seal the deal with moscow to immunize 12000000 people we spoke with the president
6:07 am
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 person 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 artist 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
6:08 am
more people bucks in name in america. how we could box in the only 50 percent of the workers because we have only found the scenes in the theaters and the need to use much now we are receiving 5000000 more of those and wish to read the books in the nation roll around 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. the e.u. announced it will control the export of covert vaccines 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 to destruction this tosk will prolong the fight against the virus this is
6:09 am
a coalition of concerned that the transparency and export of. the protection and safety of our citizens is that the. challenges we know face lift as these no other choice but to act in spain the 2 most populous regions have halted there and occupation campaigns because of the shortages catalonia and the madrid region have used up almost all their doses with remaining vials needed to give 2nd shots to those who've already had their 1st it's likely to ruin then the government's plans to a knock at most of the population by june of this year and the head of the country's vaccination association says the shortage is nationwide so. the number of doses we're receiving has been significantly reduced the vaccine is not being delivered to the rate that 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
6:10 am
will be needed to give 2nd doses to those who have already started the vaccination process so we will not be able to knock uli are very vulnerable and increase groups that were identified in the original plan it's a difficult and uncomfortable situation. a similar picture is playing out across that you were just 2 per cent of people have been vaccinated the czech republic stopped administering jobs altogether for 2 weeks because of the lack of doses all paris and some other parts of france have postponed their job campaigns as well spain's an occupation chief again says brussels should have moved quicker to secure supplies. i do not like the lack of transparency with regards to the contracts that the european union has concluded with pharmaceutical companies we don't know about 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
6:11 am
a higher price than the european union have not experienced such delay in delivery we are not at all satisfied with the current situation. just. this week 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 a valid reason for traveling home secretary announcement coming after britain's 2nd highest ever daily death toll from growing a virus. the rules are clear people should be staying at home unless for happened recently. going on holiday or if not a valid reason. and britain also announcing rules for travel from what it calls high risk countries people flying from the 30 listed nation domestic can't get it call me back up and running you do australia new zealand have done 0 cove in the got 0 go bit by trying to mobile orders good tech to test trace and isolate by quarantine and by providing support for people into isolation but we've got what
6:12 am
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 world travel is 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 with 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 let these
6:13 am
people run absolutely right and what has happened we are public sector debt is now 2.13 trillion in december we borrowed 38000000000 pounds he's absolutely bernardo's 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 pete. were going to let this bar was sprayed and very bizarre endangered by the safety virus an agent by the 15th in february as you well that's making an 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 look at dollars for here 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 are many other countries we're not alone in this we're not prepared for this we learned some hard lessons over march and april but we have far too much we didn't delay got that balance wrong we
6:14 am
need to stop debating only about the medical issue and we need to start seeing it in the wider context and accept that britain does 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 should all this culture. happening today a 2nd weekend of russian on authorized demonstrations in support of kremlin critic alex in a bombing protest organizers are nor an anti code measures including the ban on mass gatherings or rallies were triggered by the jailing of not only after his return from berlin where he was treated for alleged never took poisoning and those protests are happening across the country but we can all live now to live at the scene of one of the does one stray sions in the capital here what's the atmosphere where you are. well the situation here in moscow has been rather hectic we are one of the sites where we've seen some scuffles between the protesters and the police in fact you can see probably not right now
6:15 am
but on the other side of the street there's a rather heavy special forces presence now this situation has been rather hectic because since the very early morning most school a very large chunk of central moscow was completely cordoned off for pedestrians only vehicles were allowed in and 7 metro station were completely closed to the trains would even stop there to allow people. will change lines let alone leave the metro so the central moscow remained quite paralyzed so the organizers they applied the tactic that i witnessed in belarus for instance the century what they did they changed the gathering point that had been announced previously last minute and since then this whole protested the kind of resembled a game of tag so that security forces they would try to beat protesters to these new locations newly announced locations and cordoned them off respectively while
6:16 am
the protesters from what i've seen they've remained on the move with goes in stark contrast as to what we saw last week and the 1st in this series of mass protests in russia so right now according to according to the police more than 100 people have been arrested in the russian capital alone while the protests have been going on all across russia now it's a difficult to give an estimate as to how many people how to make how many people gathered here in moscow who simply because again they remained on the move they weren't allowed really they had they didn't have a chance to to gather at one particular sport but just visually of course we will have to see some official figures and some estimates of from the pro position sources but visually the numbers have somewhat when build since last time a so right now the crowd moved down that way and you can probably see not only not
6:17 am
only ambulances but also some police vehicles the way those detained were taken so i will remain here to bring you all the latest will go and try to fight where the crowd the large chunk of the crowd has moved so far. apart is a good honest saying across this mass protest for us thank you. so hard on the program client taxpayers have been the stuff our friends say out and to her. now i'll take to the skies for just that sort of prototype and bring you other stories for that short break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy the informed patient let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only really engaging i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time
6:18 am
to sit down and talk. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those great. thinks. wheat beer to ask. him.
6:19 am
to come back to the weekly people and britain aren't just being stopped from flying they can't even leave their homes without a reasonable excuse for at least another month as much as are beefed up amid a surge in coping deaths all public gatherings are also banned employees are getting tough on those who break the rules but as kate partridge explains sometimes the rule breakers are officers themselves. the coronavirus pandemic has changed just about everyone's professional lives and the police are no exception the u.k.'s on armed forces have repeatedly come under the spotlight for trying to do their job which these days include cracking down on illegal gatherings under the lockdown laws these range from raves to birthday parties whiting's and even baby showers with a baby shower. are. provided for because you're all here so obviously you're breaking covert roles we can't find every adult here every single
6:20 am
one of you 2 under par the is london metropolitan police chief superintendent stephen trainmen condemns the party goers and warned there would be consequences london's police are almost daily posting videos of officers shutting down illegal gatherings. 7 are thought the parish is really throughout the area here. they want to be one of the sisters very surprised as examiner certain stores are ok because of their national laws are aware of the you know exam to greeting a little 2nd with all the people the aim is to publicly shame people and prevent others from doing the same except that message doesn't seem to have reached 31 of their own officers caught flouting the law while on duty just to get a haircut if you're eating their superiors and seeing each of fending officers slapped with a 200 pound fine it is deeply disappointing and frustrating of my officers have
6:21 am
fallen short of the expectation to uphold covert 1000 regulations i hope this action proves that police are not immune to enforcement of the rules more embarrassingly for the met it happened barely a week after 9 officers were fined after being spotted having breakfast together in a london café since march the police have issued $32000.00 fines across england and wales penalties row shoppy jury indians november looking down. almost 6500 penalties were handed out as police moved more quickly to enforcement and the police are being left with a very public time ask of not only insuring everyone else his safety but setting the personal example of how it should be done while i think the police across the world are in very difficult situation with this so with the covert restrictions because it's it goes against the grain completely for police to interrupt parties and things but of course those are all the laws in the legislation and police officers realize that no pay to do that and and i think that's what's happening
6:22 am
here this goes against all the all the training all the things that we we over many over a century or so have tried to do which is give people the freedoms people act within the law but of course these loaches through this legislation has put them in a very difficult position i thoroughly believe that police officers should be vaccinated because they are being asked to not only be around lots of individuals themselves that they're there at their own colleagues they have to be in vans with their colleagues they have to be in the police station but they're also rescuing people in the street and people's houses so they are the forefront of needs to have a decent society that they they have the vaccination as early as possible. and only slapped a ban on take talking as there is who haven't verified their age after a 10 year old girl died while trying to complete a dare on the video sharing app called blackout challenge and volves people choking
6:23 am
themselves to temporarily pass out are the young girl was found dead in her bathroom. 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 of irreversible coma we concluded she was brain dead. tick-tock insists that user safety is a priority and beyond any dangerous behavior but an italian lawyer specializing in online cases as that social networks must do more to get i mean. 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 miners can see on these networks a social network cannot just say a minor has stated that they are old enough to use the up they should check it if
6:24 am
the very for cation a child accesses 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 with this video of the child was actually viewed by to talk 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 legitimity and legal. science fiction that is becoming a reality as moscow may get its 1st plying taxi is within a couple of years a russian urban air mobility company is testing so-called passenger drones art is constant in iraq was 1st in line. 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 red knock in case of emergency can babble it jacked it parachute. of course using it as an 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
6:26 am
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 the certain areas within the city limits for outdoor
