week's top stories are. a deal with russia to make. the foreign minister told us why. russian the russian. experience with another country the name. for libya and argentina become the latest latin american nations to get hundreds of thousands of russian covert shots as the head of the. virus. and inoculation campaign is growing to a halt in parts of france and. doctors to question the procurement system. is not being delivered to dissipate it's a real problem for the national plan and it means autonomy have to review their

strategy. through some of the biggest stories we've been covering hero the past 7 days into the program 1st on the pandemic iran this week became the latest country to approve the vaccine and also plans to manufacture the shot the iranian foreign ministry told us why they've chosen the russian drug over the alternatives here's just some of our exclusive interview with. 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 resteal need to investigate it. but that was certainly a major public health problem in you know we will get. russian the russian ric's vaccine we will get the chinese vaccine we are 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 vaccine meanwhile in india phase 3 trials of splitting vale well underway with plans to get emergency approval in march the country's ambassador to moscow says he's already had the job. i took it last week. the 1st 2 also sputnik rocks in. perfectly red 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 dig deeper into the situation just as we're near the mosque you know sort of distance but it is also. scientifically proven axioms and of course to support big bucks he is one such works in. latin america is also increasingly betting on the russian vaccine bolivia and argentina are the latest to receive hundreds of thousands of doses this week and the u.n. secretary general is welcome the role of saying sputnik we can play a key role in tackling the pandemic this is the time of severe shortages of western made vaccines in europe is a leap to try and get out explains. 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 the countries is being put to the test as the scramble

for vaccine doses intensifies concerns over how castro governments in 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 to double your show 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 scheme 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. 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 v 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 have some sort of issues but us audience 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. dr weil 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 latin america fold in the way we could the blacks in

the only 50 percent of the workers because we have only found it else on bugs in the theaters in sending in if you so much now we are receiving $5000000.00 or more of those and with space 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 walk or not also in spanish if you want a quicker escape from the red zone for your country the e.u. announced on friday that had to limit the export of covert vaccines because of shortages 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 the transparency and export of ordinary iraqis. as

a protection and safety of our citizens. challenges we now face lift as these no other choice but to act in spain the 2 most populous regions there have halted veron occupation campaigns because of the shortages catalonia in the madrid region of or used up almost all their doses with the remaining vials needed to give 2nd shots to those who've already had the 1st head of spain's vaccination of thora he says the shortage is nationwide. so. the number of doses we're receiving has been significantly reduced 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 a ton of us regions will have to review their strategies the supplies we do half 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 other vulnerable and increase groups that were identified in the original plan it's

a difficult and uncomfortable situation and a similar picture is playing out across the e.u. were just 2 percent of people have been vaccinated the czech republic a stop to ministry jobs due to a lack of doses or paris and some other parts of france have done the same spain's an occupation chief again says brussels should have moved quicker to secure a robust supplies from pharmaceutical giants. 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 in those countries that purchase vaccines had a higher price than the european union have not experienced such delay in delivery we are not at all satisfied with the current situation. people in britain are being told not to leave their homes without a valid reason and at a certain covert desk all public gatherings are banned the police are getting tough

on those who break the rules but is now explains sometimes the role breakers of the 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 weddings and even baby showers. into a baby shower. or. provided or because you're all here so obviously you're breaking covert rules we can't find every adult here every single 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 000-0000. right

the british really do ok here is. a very big. sisters very surprised orders because they're going to send chills up are ok yes because of the national logs are aware. that you're not exempt are going to the full 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 $200.00 pound fine it is deeply disappointing and frustrating that my if this is helpful in short all the expectation to uphold good 19 regulations i hope this section proves that police are not immune june 4th month all 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 fines a crossing bridge in wales penalties road shoppy during england's 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 ensuring everyone else's safety but setting the personal example of how it should be done what i think the police across the world are a very difficult situation with this so with the codes 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 they're paid to do that and i think that's what's happening 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 letters to this legislation has put them in

a very difficult position i thought only believe that police officers should be vaccinated because they are being asked to not only be around lots of individuals themselves so that they're 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 resting people in the straight and it was ounces so they are the forefront. and needs to have a decent society that they they have the vaccination as early as possible. without a still to come at any take action against the chinese video sharing have to take talk after a tragedy involving a 10 year old girl it's a story still ahead on the weekly. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only

mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. there's nothing a narcissist hates more than to have their inflated ego collide with that of another narcissist just like in greek mythology it's a long and messy clash of titans but on avoidable if healing and order are to be achieved is this just what we're seeing in the current battle between good america by its own exceptionalism and donald trump the ultimate narcissist.

i guess one of today's developments to get you up to speed on that in cities across russia have seen rallies throughout the day in support of opposition figure alexina valmy all of the gatherings have now ended the kremlin critic was arrested 2 weeks ago after returning from berlin and will be tried in court on tuesday for parole violation earlier on sunday thousands of his supporters took again to central moscow several metro stations were closed there was a heavy security presence r.t.c. gorged on office following protests throughout the day. it is a little bit different because last weekend we saw one particular point one particular meeting sport where everybody gathered to protest this time the organizers that they made a last minute changes to where they will cooling onto the. supporters to gather we are at one of these sports and the crowd has been has dwindled here in fact the

police response has been so massive not in terms of harshness but in terms of numbers that they simply didn't allow anybody to actually gather here so right now i'm being told of the protest moved down the street about a couple of 100 meters that way we are at one of the sites where we've seen some scuffles between the protesters on the police in fact you can see probably not right now 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 most school 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 to change lines right now we are literally a few 100 meters from holding from the holding center in a prison where the prominent a prominent russian opposition figure in

a volley is being held right now so the protesters they intended to come here from central moscow to give some support to alexina volley but as you can see in this this time the police and the special forces well they beat protesters to it the crowd has been on the move all day and like last weekend when they were allowed to gather in one sport. no essentially they have been on the move this is the place that the organizers of today's demonstration cooled the final point the final destination of full with the rally but if they were looking for some crescendo for the end they've clearly flawed because you can see a heavy police presence to the left of me also a police school doing to the right as well and well some journalists to give you an idea is sound. many people showed up again it's definitely in the thousands and some hundreds of people were detained in moscow alone now protests that have taken

place all across russia from the far east to the russian capital to st petersburg and in some smaller city 3rd of your. movie what. was before you but you're right. so this indeed looks like the end of today's protest but on tuesday old ready alexina volley prominent russian opposition figure he is said to that's when his next hearing is and a lot of people here they want they want him freed and this is why they were driven to the streets so of course we'll have to see how this showing which is definitely

smaller than last week and will affect the court ruling and whether or not we will see more people in the streets on tuesday. or the week's news now when italy is taking action against take talk after a 10 year old girl died while trying to complete a day on the chinese video sharing app it's been told to block users whose age can't be verified the so-called blackout challenge involves people choking themselves to temporarily pass out over the youngster was found unresponsive and dead in a bathroom. carrying that diana for the medics did everything they could to bring the child back to life but unfortunately although the heart immediately started meeting 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 but went to talk insists that users safety is a priority and it bans video showing any dangerous behavior but an italian lawyer specializing in online cases says the social networks must do more. to get

a. clearly the story of this little girl is truly tragic it makes it 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 up they should check it if 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 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 will be. back to the u.k. where the government's cracking down on non-essential overseas travel i was

secretary down to the move after the country recorded its 2nd highest daily death toll from. the rules are clear people should be staying at home unless they happen followed the rules internally going on holiday is not a valid reason britain's also restricting travel from what it calls a high risk countries people flying in from the 30 listed nations must quarantine in a government approved hotel of their own expense because to go even further to with a top official denouncing a mass failure to follow the 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 that they self isolate he cited poland and taiwan as successfully using the method mccarran gathered some guests to discuss the idea really this week that light snow you'll fall is thought

to be their proposal for g.p.s. tracking what you think of bot. 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 a domestic market economy back on the up and running you do australia and new zealand have done 0 cove in the got 0 go bit 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 let these people run absolutely right and what has happened we are the public sector debt is now 2.13 trillion in december 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 donated 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 sort of transmit your bit you're making assumptions 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 did far too much we didn't delay got that balance wrong we 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 that the has to be a balance between keeping people safe and also maintaining the wealth and livelihoods and educated of this culture of. moscow's notorious traffic jams could soon be a thing of the past for literally high flying taxi passengers a russian urban air mobility company is testing so-called passenger drones which could lift off in a couple of years are things constantine rushkoff 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 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 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. is while it's inside and the person just just sit there choose the point 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. on 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 task bringing 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. or that's it for the weekly thanks for watching i'll have you next edition in just over half an hour from now see it.

i. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.

debate is is it fair for transforming our place to compete in women's categories and sports. as a society we have decided to categorize sports based on sex i definitely need to do not think that it's fair for athletes that one porn is pile article males to compete in the women's category on come on why do we have gender or do you have gender categories and sports because we do treat men and women differently. every single soul beat athletes will we all have biological advantages over each other. are the same use of to me and friends are the subjects in

a little here because i love to do it i. have developed confidence and belief in myself and i've learned the value of hard work and dedication i'm gonna put on doubting. that these men say that they feel like a lot of it and they will not ever know what it's like to feel the loss of a baby her maybe biologically every home of these that they will never do they really think this is fair. i just don't believe it. here in studio in recent days the mike down on independence square has turned into a full serial for zone. will.
