at this point it doesn't look like the planning is going very well biden doesn't seem to have a clear plan but the white house team continues citing his good intentions nobody had a complete picture the plans that were being made were being made we do some shit and the more you for me soon would be available and be revealed once they got into white house the american boxing legend mike tyson said that everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth and at this point it looks pretty clear that the united states was rather unprepared for the swift right hook delivered by the coded 19 pandemic and now as the clock is ticking and lives are being lost there's a lot of chaos and confusion surrounding the widely desired jab kaleb up and r.t. new york where the donald trump now out of office some comedians are struggling to find new material for their sketches and while many saw the former president as fair game it does seem that the new administration is off limits with no his to

meet 3. how do you make fun of a sitting presidents well in 2021 if you're say a comedian or a circle sketch show that is known for making fun of everything and everyone well then the answer is simple very carefully or maybe not at all when we had the orangemen trashing in 247 was practically a necessity it was speaking truth to power and blah blah blah blah blah but now that joe biden is in office things are very different saturday night live is looking for a fresh face to do their weekly per trade deals of the president's they had jim carey doing it throughout the election but now that joe biden has ascended to sainthood well they need to tone it down a notch i want to release a man. i'm never felt so. which is ironic because i'm not down to lie. i mean they can just mock him sure that's what they did with trump for the past 4 years but that was different from head small hands he was orange he tweeted

a lot said mean things. q thank you for coming to watch my victory speech to emerge . as anyone who does have way through tuesday knows i was reelected president of the united states. with joe joe's a good guy joe here is very mean chris wallace is mean to be kind to me is me be keep using job which is me jimmy. the china virus has been very mean to be by being a hoax and come on it's just not polite to make fun of how people look how they talk and joe doesn't even tweet the guy is a saint so no no mocking of joe biden everything he says and does is gospel and besides people today are already having a hard time telling the difference between reality and satire so making fun of st joe would only send mixed signals to an already confused audience joe biden isn't

off the hook. completely because he's facing a backlash after failing to provide strong families with a $2000.00 relief check something he promised during his election campaign have a look at this in a couple of. secret prisons and usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however he even the most prosperous can be deceived within this 0 song there were 2 view houses were. preserved were located only cia people had access to the story from investigators she held the uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. you grated nor.

for. justice. that i would have. loved the idea that not out of the not of the money that they let you in. this was a good time to. try to move. that was. not why nor. why it generated the all the people we believe will be here. all of my case i don't want them up with old johnny borrell the moment on account of mother having

a little accuser is a little on the way to my building. put out the people i don't want to put out the other moderate party without all the mother brother there. again i the us president joe biden is facing criticism for not keeping his election promises he pledged cash strapped families $2000.19 relief funds during his campaign but is only paid out 1400 dollars and even many disappointed the bottom line is the job report shows we need to provide more immediate relief for working families and businesses not finishing the job of getting people that $2000.00 a relief direct payment 600 are simply not enough or the hash tag by the light

began trending on twitter shortly after the united states is made but the democratic party has defended the move saying that the 1400 dollar relief checks did come on top of the $600.00 handed out on the don't trump. protests will build on the $600.00 down payment provided by congress last year sending an additional $1400.00 to households across america totaling direct payments $2000.00 per person well a recent poll to show that 60 percent of u.s. voters would support a $1401.00 time payment but the same number of people do believe that the value should vary depending on the recipients income the survey also found to that just over half of voters would be opposed to giving handouts to undocumented migrants the financial support can't come soon soon enough as the another study released on monday does show that the u.s. has seen a record increase in poverty the research does demonstrate that it raised by $2.00

percentage points during the 2nd half of 2020 as the economy continued to feel the strain of the pandemic and that increase is nearly double the previous largest annual increase in poverty recorded back in the 1960 s. we heard from some people in the states about the stimulus payments. i agree with the $1400.00 stimulus how i am and i i hope it gets more targeted actually to the people who really need it i would see people thought about it differently or at least presented differently initially but i mean in the grand scheme of things i'm i'm fine with it installed but is it a surprise that joe biden and the democrats are keeping their word of course not that's what they're good at you know so that's that's that's why they are you can expect that from these people they are not honest people i do understand that we've been getting into some pretty damn good and i am someone who is planting unemployment trying to get that thing unless given that the democrats have the majority of the house and the senate they should be able to deliver on the $2000.00

which by the way president trump also at wanted you know to me this is just another example the democrats showing their true colors which is that they are a party of the ruling class just as much of this is the republicans in my own view they were afraid of their worst fear was that they would get a majority in the senate and then they'd have to do something for the you know and now they're trying to find a way to back and maybe there's pressures being put on him by other democrats by other advisers to do something else to do less so again i could believe that he said it in earnest but then for various reasons reneged big concern is to make sure everyone who needs it gets the money and if that means some people who are doing a little better get it as well that's fine i mean if you look at the u.s. compared to any other industrialized country the u.s. has given less money to people than any other country the government has done is loop is close to nothing is it could possibly do it has done done enough we have

the wealthiest country on earth we spend more money on the military than pretty much every country combined. we could take care of people we could have a guaranteed monthly income make sure everyone else health care which is not the case make sure that you know small businesses stay afloat. and frankly we could make sure that everyone has masks everyone has tests everyone has vaccines your snot international just commit to 25 here moscow now deaves law enforcement agency your riposte has issued a warning about the illegal production and distribution of fake id 19 tested to ficus with many countries requiring and they get to test to enter the agency does believe that criminal groups are taking advantage of the situation in fact several cases have already been identified across the continent is our europe correspondent peter on about the significance are used in order for people to show that they've

had a negative test before they get on an airplane or travel anywhere around the european union now what europol the european union's law enforcement agency is saying is that criminals a looking to exploit that and producing these fake negative test results these fake cove it's a terrific it's they've just posted a forgery ring operating near to show that all airports in france there's also being the forgery rings broken open the united kingdom similar operations in spain in the netherlands as well the city if it gets changing hands from anywhere between 40 euros and puts of 300 euros europol themselves say that they expect the criminals to keep out they say as long as the city if it gets the necessary for travel. the detection of feet covered $900.00 tests of the kids confirms the criminal sees profitable of chooses once theorized as long as travel restrictions remain in place due to the covered $1000.00 situation it's highly

likely that production and sales of the test a typical will prevail or vaccines are also a big topic of discussion here in europe right now and angela merkel the german chancellor hosted a virtual vaccine summit from here in berlin on monday evening the message coming out from that meeting is that things will take time put her on the right track as far as she's concerned now there's still recriminations coming out from the spot last week that really continued into this week between the european union and vaccine manufacturer astra zeneca and the united kingdom basically the e.u. upset that it's not going to get the amount of vaccines or masters anika that it thought it was going to get and it's going to take longer for them to get those in the whole discussion angle of merkel is pretty much set a self up as the good cop saying things will take time we're on the right track bad cop in this case has been a money on the french president he's not happy that the united kingdom has

continued to receive the supplies of the vaccine while in countries like france like portugal and like spain vaccine programs have had to be suspended because there aren't enough jobs emanuel micron saying london needs to pick its friends imagine the british finish their vaccine campaign successfully what will they do stop european lorries from entering when there is a total dependence on the continent good luck half pregnant is not a concept what policy does great britain wish to choose it cannot be the closest ally of the us the closest ally of the e.u. and the new singapore it has to choose a model of the plan when it comes to vaccinating the e.u. isn't going to be short work it would seem following that summit on monday night also set to come this month is the european medicines agencies view on whether the russian sputnik v. vaccine can be used in. the european union the german health minister yen spanners said that he'd be willing to use that as part of germany's vaccination program once

it gets that rubber stamp at some point in february. ok well let's go back to our top story this hour because russia seems received approval by researches in the lancet medical journal they say it's over 90 percent effective and well tolerated the jab is also said to help people of all age groups or let's get more on top without his money yes yes he's been following story would add as we mentioned a few minutes ago to long awaited these results here they are and they've been well received well received and they have already caused abrupt i would say change of opinion in the west regarding sputnik because we've heard of course since september in november for months on end this this this mass concentrated attack from all fronts on sputnik from from the so-called experts and journalists who overnight became. virus experts and all of them said it was too quick they developed a too quick they cut too many corners they took too many shortcuts this is dangerous

and you know after all it's russian suddenly. they they've done a u. turn and suddenly it's actually safe it's one of the 3 vaccines in the world with an efficacy of above 90 percent so that's pfizer. and now sputnik confirmed in the lancet medical journal this is clearly good news as these jewel formulation vaccine is comparatively easy to manufacture and to deploy i mean they anticipated global shortage of vaccines and logistical problems in vaccination rollout. presently the world needs all the good vaccines that you can get against covered 19 and these are impressive results spawning v. is the 1st dino virus vector vaccine to achieve the 90 percent efficacy seen with the 2 m r n e vaccines some of the other features working in v's

favor are that it's easier cheaper to produce 23 times cheaper than some of the competition also no severe allergic reactions have been registered during these 3 clinical trials pfizer was plagued with reports of people falling seriously ill people with a history of severe allergic reactions and being warned to stay away from from the pfizer vaccine you know until there's the until it's been modernized or all changed or there's an alternative available also the side effects the observed side effects have all been relatively mild mild flu like symptoms a little weakness or a little pain around the injection site indeed journalists have been getting the job as well and the new yorker we saw a huge article where the will to describe why and how he got the sputnik vaccine

and how it's the fear of the pandemic dissipated in late january i took a test for coated 19 antibodies the results according to an interpretive scale provided by the clinic indicated to my antibody levels were probably sufficient to prevent illness the odds struck me as high but my own personal pandemic was nearing its end. so there are now around 9000000 deuces of the sputnik the backseat have been produced so far and you know it's causing a lot of interest around the world 50 countries there abouts have preordered sputnik india alone has penned a deal to manufacture more than 100000000 doses of this vaccine the czech republic alone 2 consultations with hungary the 1st european nation to greenlight spinning about their experience with that certainly a very abrupt u. turn on european and western attitudes regarding scrutiny which had previously been

targeted and some believe for political reasons ok all right well thanks marotta that was a gas if we can i talk to you with a camera to me trav he's the director of the russian direct investment fund and that is the over a mile from the banks but maybe a vaccine and we appreciate your time softening thanks for coming on firstly in your opinion how significant and is this approval of the spending the vaccine by researches in the lancet journal well i think it's really a monumental achievement of russia but also a monumental achievement as a world because they're all israel it seems now as the world was out because there was a 90 percent sputnik is one of the it was also a 100 percent efficient again severe disease so this is really very important accomplishment and we are thankful to the lancet that showed it's not driven by politics but it's driven by science it's driven by desire to really do good science

and find the solution so i think it's a very important accomplishment and can you give us some idea of end of the scale you the space 3 trials i mean how many people were involved. so the point is 1000 people weigh in walt and they were receiving but seemed to place you both 3 to one so basically many more were receiving but c.n.n. may know that western trials people would want to watch so that fewer people would receive the vaccine and once the trials hold this 91.6 percent africa still has a vaccine 91.8 percent efficacy for actually people older than 60 years old and also in the important part of the vaccine it's affordable and it's easy to distribute around the world we call of human kind like scene because it can be stored at plus 2 plus 8 versus minus 70 degrees celsius required by the us which seems and of course topple one 3rd of the u.s. we've seen so when you combine safety advocacy price and logistics you really have

what i believe is a best of a key in the world and many scientists in the world agree so you anticipating then you have big sort of brushed by customers and countries to get hold of. well look at these registered in 16 countries by the end of next week i think it will greater than 25 countries we do have some production constraints so this year we can probably supply only around 700000000 people doses so that means 101400000000 of those us was a big scene and countries approach and right now we can elicit blighters but seen in may or june so basically we will not be the only folks in the world of course with the one taiwan of the best but countries need to have a portfolio of different but seems and the board was as of excellence as well for example work disasters and the to increase efficacy of their big scene and we believe the spirit of partnership and vaccine corporation is supported no what is holding back the production there. carol with regards to phase it not possible to

increase production quickly or just explain some of the constraints that you mentioned yes we are and will read increase that massively in russia and we increasing that outside of frosh and india brazil china korea but it just takes time we started technology transfer to india brazil korea around november and they just they combine brand bob massive production so we will really be a full speed with a foreign capacity online around april may and that will allow us to produce tens of millions of those as outside the fresh and vaccination in russia will probably be complete for people who want to completed by may or june of this year so we'll also have russian capacity up to me a jewel to be used outside of russia as well there's been a lot of argument in the made here and i'm sure you've seen it to you about the distribution of vaccines it's been an ugly spat between the e.u. and the u.k.

just from your perspective from russia's bespectacled what is it doing to ensure the fed this confusion of sputnik thing. well again we are very much focused on this being a big scene because of mankind so because it's affordable and the doesn't require minus 70 degrees we have lots of countries in latin america in middle east and africa who will be using sport and you can be a vaccine and i think it's very important only reach countries get hold those of it seems this is really not equitable as a world i think politicians overreach countries will try to do so but there should be a mechanism storyless have much more even and much more equal distribution or function the rounds the world and sputnik the is committed those of us we have already delivered what seemed bolger real ready had delivered what seemed too good in the air so we had delivered what seem to lights in america at the places of the really now there are served by the big scene producers and we will do so because we believe that many people in the world need to have access to

a vaccine local is originations a notice to talk of a sputnik lite vaccine as well what's the point of that given the success will be apparent success of sputnik i think. well some countries also would like to have it not just as a big scene with regard to have but one truck and we preliminarily the best of the african. scene and we believe that surrounds 80 percent for main age groups so even one show the fall vaccine use more efficient as in many other vaccines out there so we will have the shot that will be clear that it has less of efficacy it and it doesn't last as long but for countries that want to basically fight to be democratic the way they want to give protection to people right the ways the light which is just out for a short will be a solution and again johnson and johnson for example is just almost the same as our 1st show of sputnik delight so why shorts but seems to have

a chance in the world but they will not be the main ones because only provide long lasting immunity and highest immunity possible we've seen in the news over the last few days concern about 900000 strains of cave 19 in particular the south african variant what's the evidence this but mcveigh is effective against these new strains . so our scientists basically confirms that based on the mutations they have explored the is official and one of the reasons is that we use 2 different delivery mechanisms for 2 shots and that provides us with more security and more protection against you so we need to have really international cooperation and war when you meet patients of that coming up and frankly it also requires the world to really backs in the weekly as much of the world as possible not just the rich nations because zimm or people are left without like scenes is

a more mutations will be coming so one of the 4 which should be really massive vaccination rounds are global to stop the virus from youth aging but so far it works very well has existing mutations and just a timeline to finish wave when would you expect to see the ratification or perhaps the the constrained 19 within russia and then perhaps globally to. well we believe that in russia we'll have massive exit nation completed by june so by the 1st top of the year i think we will have you know basically would be in a very good positive position with believes that europe and the u.s. will probably been is their backs and they should more are by september of this year and then for many countries it will do exist and next year to vaccinate some of their people so this is really a programs that will not only end zeus' year but for russia in some of the other

nations they would vaccinate most of the people who want to get back soon aided by q 43 of this year ok look on that note we'll leave it that's a really good to talk to this afternoon that was that you care dmitri as he's the director of the russia direct investment fund and that is the sovereign wealth fund that backs this but need the vaccine go to approval by the lunts today for its phase 3 trials thanks for coming on. and thank you for watching we'll be back again the headlines and more stories in 5 minutes. that i would rather that how can i bear man i am not out of the bloody out of the not out of the mouth of the money that they are planning to me. this was a good time to. try to move there i. know

not that i want to get my little money in the house why not act and then again why exxon and the all people we believe just a little bit here. bottom of my case i don't want them up aside johnny boy are they of the moment i thought of mother how do it all the kids are there a lot of them on the way to my building let's put out the pink i don't want to put out a look most cardioid i don't know the mother while there. was a pandemic no certainly no borders and is blind to nationalities. as muddled up with the we don't look like seem. to be.

judging. commentary crisis with this system to moms we can do better we should. everyone is contributing it's your own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been much so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. wow you know things are gone topsy turvy the markets are undergoing a sieve various selection point and those on the periphery are now driving this center. whacko time but much hated let's get into it.

secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however he even the most prosperous can be deceived within this 0 zone there were 2 view houses were. located on the only. access to the story for investigators show how they uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. the great ignore. before. trying for justice. for more than 3 years trump was called. by the cave to russia's demands to continue with the new start arms agreement also alexina bali and why is it so.

really to sneer those who really can show you. some. numbers to. go to see if you're. doing your force where you could be near my stuff in the street spit. was a morsel 6 put him into and. so you. should. sort of move the. story live.

from. the headlines this hour russia the vaccine gets the seal of approval in the lancet medical journal where researches say 90 percent effective and well tolerated europol issues a warning about the sale of fake test certificates as criminals seek to profit from travel restrictions and the restaurant assistant business. district by opening their doors. and. down the beach from new york shows officers handcuffing and pepper spraying a 9 year old girl raising more questions.
