headlines this hour russia's sputnik the vaccine gets the seal of approval in the lancet medical journal where research is say it is over 90 percent effective and well tolerated also to republish use of the warning about the sale of fake ok with 19 tested because as criminals seek to profit from travel restrictions on the restaurant resistant spring business mystified the government's ongoing cope with prescriptions by open doors and serving dine and. footage from new york shows officers handcuffing and at the spraying a 9 year old girl putting police conduct in the midwest back in the spotlight.

just on 6 o'clock am the russian capital you're watching international. vaccine has received approval by researches in the lancet medical journal they say these are 90 percent effective and well tolerated the job is also said to help people of all age groups. this interim analysis of the phase 3 trial of sputnik showed 91.6 percent advocacy against the 19 and it was well tolerated in a large cohort our results show that there are 2 components vaccine was able to induce a virus neutralizing hue moral response in participants older than 60 years furthermore vacs an advocacy in this group of participants did not differ significantly from the efficacy of the 18 to 60 years group. there's been a u.

turn in attitudes towards the vaccine and this is somewhat surprising given how sustained and you know how big this this attack was on sputnik it was developed too quickly too many short cuts were taken quarters cut you know there was not enough proof that it was safe we heard it over and over everywhere seemingly in the media from from various experts and people who dubbed themselves experts and now suddenly now that we have concrete data it turns out the russians were right it's safe it's safe and it's only one of 3 vaccines in the world with an efficacy of above 90 percent that is pfizer. and now sputnik we saw the test results what the shoot is that there are new severe allergic reactions they haven't been observed such as the ones that have that have battered. the

publicity regarding the pfizer vaccine people with you know a history of severe allergic reactions being told to stay away and to weigh the walk. it's also as if he should be new young people those under 60 as it isn't over sixty's which is very important because over sixty's they have a weaker immune systems the ravages of time. so that is very good news for those over 60 who are perhaps afraid of getting more concerned with side effects for from getting another vaccine. and it is cheaper it is much cheaper than alternatives to 3 times depending on the vaccine and those there was even a journalist who took the vaccine from the new yorker and he route a big article about how it is changed you know it is changed he's sort of

view on the panda. mc there's the fears god in late january i took a test for covert 1000 antibodies the results according to an interpretive scale provided by the clinic indicated that my antibody levels were probably sufficient to prevent illness the odds struck me as high but my own personal pandemic was nearing its end and this is you know what we're hearing from more and more journalists and publications than those saying experts that want us to stay away now saying well wait a 2nd this is this is a good alternative why it could be you know any number of reasons but the science the science of sound sputnik the a safe this is clearly good news as these your 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 edina virus vector vaccine to achieve the 90 percent efficacy seen with the 2 m r n e vaccines so this could be a major contributing factor to them. turning on their attitudes towards the vaccine that is shortages mass shortages of other vaccines such as pfizer there's all sorts of trouble problems and challenges in the supply chain in the production part and sputnik we is relatively simple to booth produce and to transport it requires much much less cold temperatures it doesn't require the sort of deep freeze that the fires of for example requires during trial transportation which makes it much more available in developing nations and in poorer nations as well so

far dozens of countries have expressed an interest more than 50 countries have preordered the vaccine already india loon has pended agreement to produce more than 100000000 doses of the sputnik that exceeds the czech republic for example now which is consultations with hungry hungry was the 1st european nation to greenlight the scrutiny of vaccine so again a striking striking difference in attitudes towards me from what we saw back in september in november where. seemingly you know scrutiny was part of this this confrontation that is currently taking place between russia and various western countries and if it wasn't spared in the middle of the pandemic it wasn't spared you know being targeted seemingly politically. like i will basically begin to do. custis further to with dr hildago and from me vaccine and immunotherapy center

with institute in the united states very welcome we appreciate your time the lancet medical journal approved very gave it its seal of approval today what are your thoughts on this vaccine how significant is today's news it's very good you know it's i mean that works in its highly education as this has over 90 percent efficacy against disease in a lot of across all age groups including the a church which is very good nurse and was even better as 100 percent protective against very serious illness which caused our deaths and that's really what we want to launch people to stop any up in the hospital and dying and sputnik to really achieve that which is to actually. it's only one of 3 isn't it vaccines that have shown over 90 percent efficacy of this being made and the pfizer vaccine but there are significant differences are there between the sputnik the vaccine and those

other 2 do you think splitting b. has a particular advantage here. so the our in iraq scenes which are so highly efficacious are very difficult to star they're to be kept that you know is a minus 20 and mine is a decrease which makes it close to impossible to distribute them in less developed countries they also like spencer. so there is a kid then us must put neatly which is shared this is not quite as if you cations change in us was that it got mixed scenes it's going to start in the fridge for several months which makes it so much easier to distribute and that's really crucial right now facing globally distribution is yours which have to be addressed and all it needs no help there sure to think a lot of skepticism will now be dispersed by now i think the skepticism really came from the very small initial trial another split nuclear stand

a large scale phase 3 trial and published their results in a very reputable journal the lancet i think the criticism should subside it is the overall good news speaking to some of the developers of sputnik v. today they did say that there will be supply issues are you concerned that you know it could take some time before everybody gets a vaccine yeah i mean there are supply issues and force leave is every book seen right now and what i'm hoping is that we cannot just put politics aside and that large tricksy manufacturers which are present for example in india are. get involved and start making moves scenes that have shown efficacy. and in terms of just looking at a time scale i mean it just for most people they have no real sort of understanding of medicine and no great knowledge but i keep being told by politicians we'll have a lockdown for another 3 weeks it gets extended then it's

a month and it goes to 2 months what sort of end in sight is feasible as far as you're concerned in terms of getting a grip on what's happening i think you've got it planned and the country and the region in the u.s. expect by the end of summer that the sister efficient numbers of people immunized heard in that life can get back somewhat to not that is actually an estimate it may not come true it also depends a little bit how stable the white house is if it mutates a lot and escapes that's in east in response us but timeline has pushed. other countries that may be slower i don't know i don't know how much certainly it can be produced if it can cover all of russia or is in the next 4 months. could take some time look we're going to have to leave it there but it's really good to see this afternoon stock to hold a little from the vaccine an amino therapy center at the wistar institute over there in the united states thank you thanks for having me good but.

now these law enforcement agency you're a poll has issued a warning about the illegal production and distribution of fake over $1000.00 tests difficult with many countries requiring a negative test to enter the agency does believe that criminal groups are taking advantage of the situation several cases have already been identified across the continent is or your correspondent peter oliver. 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 fits changing hands from anywhere between 40 euros and up woods 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 ones theorize 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 but they're on the right track as far as she's concerned now there's still recriminations coming out from the spot last week that's 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 itself up as the good cop saying things will take time we're on the right track bad cop in this case has been a minute on the french president he's not happy that the united kingdom is continue to receive the supplies of the vaccine while in countries like france like portugal and like spain vaccine bear programs have had to be suspended because there aren't enough jobs and money one 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 close us

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 yet inspiron has said that he'd be willing to use that as part of germany's vaccination program wants to get that rubber stamp at some point in february. now a number of restaurants in france opened their doors on monday in defiance of the coronavirus measures there that have been in place since october although some restrictions have been lifted since then cafes and restaurants are still not able to host diners with more his shot at the bins. push of a pair on a long sea. since october this is been the extent of service available at

restaurants and cafes in france takeaway only but as the men served dragged on with no reopening dating site same owners have decided to welcome customers inside in defiance of the couvade 19 regulations. i'm doing this for. the frenchman that is no longer respect i'm not able to work so i have no freedom and open he did talk when it came to the crunch he settled on. so we will serve food to people outside the restaurant today i won't be able to reopen food if i did i would lose my composition follow says over and see my restaurant closed or go to prison his cool has spread across the country and other restaurants have followed suit since now at the end of january 1 christoph wilcke from his establishment nice to around 50 customers yet.

christoph wilson's protest was sure lived on the doors to poppies were once closed again but his lawyer is now taking his petition directly to president michael. i wrote an open email to say stop to self isolation rooms are cessation received over 100000 messages in 48 hours french people can no longer do this mr president here in paris 2 there have also been raids on so-called destroying restaurants there were reports of this one behind me lennox over the weekend was uncovered with many others now amongst the clientele were allegedly french magistrates with no being fined 135 year. but as you can see it's still open now the owner wouldn't give an interview we're told me off camera but during his had only eaten under cover as it was raining and he also disputed that some were magistrates but support

for believe businesses has been growing on social media now many other restaurants and said that they too would be opening service for customers at the start of february however with very little support from unions and a warning from the government if you did and where does joe public fall in all of this do they want their favorite eateries to reopen or do they think it's better to keep the shutters down and those of us i don't find it normal that stories are open and restaurants are not so many if we maintain social distancing and respect the rules the risk for restaurants will do the same as for a store suddenly we don't have a choice i would like very much for them to open but i think for the safety of everyone we need to make some sacrifices to stop the virus and live normally. has been shortened i rage in new york where police were filmed to pepper spraying

a 9 year old girl while she was handcuffed the officers had been called to respond to a domestic incident you might find the following footage disturbing. dear . god or i guess. what the incident took place last friday when police were responding to reports of a family disturbance the girl was reportedly threatened to harm herself saying resisting the police if they tried to put her into that patrol car she could also be heard screaming for her father several times before and pepper sprayed by an officer. and that prompted this widespread outrage in the local community on monday dozens of people marched on the streets rochester and chanted outside the city's police

station or demonstrations are planned during the week. for several officers have been suspended while an investigation is underway in the mayor there was also called on law enforcement to undergo the escalation trail training meanwhile state lawmakers have been answered plans to introduce legislation against the use of chemical agents against minors by police social activists de bakey no says that despite the heavy handed response that we saw there isn't much hope for reform. it seems as though these are not just the stakes but this is a culture that the way of the police to act within the police departments. they're still getting what we call the warrior training the idea that you need to basically attack shooters and and the citizens need to comply with the police in every way noncompliance should not by itself be a huge for excessive force like this but they are apparently used to

being implied and get enraged i mean these these police officers were just angry at this 9 year old for not doing exactly what she was told and that goes very deep terms of the function of the police to maintain order and parole rather than shooting people speaks so there's a very deep culture involved with that but on the part of the government there is very little effort to to go against that culture to make changes to the status quo in this country is working very very well for a lot of people that's particularly working well for the business as a marriage and as long as that status follows working so well it seems to be a hazard in rochester new york or where i live there seems to be a hesitance to do anything to change. how herring is still ongoing today

in a moscow court following a request from russian prosecutors to jail the opposition figure electing about only to 3 and a half years over alleged pero violations it does follow 2 weekends of protests across the country in support of the kremlin critic reporting that from outside the court is hugo should on. so election of ali he is in the building right behind me where the judge will be delivering the verdict and deciding whether or not he will have his suspended sentence swapped for a real one now the russian opposition figure he seems to be in a good mood he's making a lot of jokes like for instance he asked his wife julia as to what's going on on twitter saying that he has withdrawal symptoms from not being able to go online and basically it's only journalists and police here in the direct vicinity of the court because this whole area has been cordoned off there's a few dozen people just outside the court it's difficult to tell whether or not they're just you know passers by and just you know busy bodies or genuinely

protesters and supporters of alexina volley so essentially this is what we're waiting for for a verdict and this whole case well it goes all the way back to 2014 back then the kremlin critic was found guilty of embezzlement so he received a 3 and a half year suspended sentence and a 5 year probation period basically the prosecution right now is saying that in those 5 years election of ali violated the conditions of this this probation period about 60 times now the defense in turn is saying that the case is politically motivated now there has been a lot of hype about the detention of alexina vali when he received his 1st like 30 day detention sentence he called on to his the authorities so we have seen some scuffles and violence from both the protesters and the police and thousands of people have been detained but will have to see which side will the judge takes

a day. the world health organization has. put the brakes on its vaccination campaign want grapes there have received the jab. to make sure there is a fair. we're asking all countries in those circumstances to do that hang on wait for those other groups will also appeal to all the people of the u.k. you can wait while this comes as the u.k. looks on course to delivering 15000000 thursday says to people by mid february on the other hand though across the channel the u.s. struggling to get its mass vaccination program off the ground we got reaction from our panel of guests united kingdom has ordered more doses than it needs for its population of roughly $70000000.00 and $1.00 of the options that would be that whatever spare capacity it has got it shares it with more one rouble nations if

a country bias 4 times the amount of vaccines that it's a pure lation you know one has to ask questions why is there any chance do you think of the u.k. agreeing to it on the whole thing it's vaccination program essentially to help other countries i doubt it very much because britain post rex it finds itself in a difficult position to take that magnanimous view of we are all in it together i find it difficult to understand why a country would have so many vaccines you know ok if you're going to give 2 doses you obviously double your population protest 4 times what you need is excess it go back to writing in saying that there are sufficient program and should be extended to different parts of the wall. but i would not agree. that the solution to

this thing or decreasing the impetus all of the u.k. this nation program if we take the example where you are south africa it's got the highest infection rate on the continent but the vaccination program it's got off to a slow start comparatively african union except for their. unable to accumulate cheaper jobs than johannesburg whose responsibility is it to fix this what they have a message to is the government. in getting prepared for ordering and buying the vaccines i know that south africa has just ordered 1500000 astra zeneca doses at twice the price this might be clothes they have ordered very late they're multinational switch on producing these vaccines and then their. agencies we started leading where there. is a proven and the proven didn't do what is going to say shannon and the government research associate it with each of these international companies i mean almost all

of the certain instances they're going to decide. to demand to be used and where it's going to be distributed you have to work on this matter on a global patent rather than individually i know politically we have to look after our population but we need to bear in mind that this is a global thing and we need to work globally and put in the questions that you can have to half 6 here in moscow but back again at the top of the. i'm max kaiser one more of my guide to financial survival this is fun it's a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these hedge
