that. exist you know the these blue seen everything i see appears to be. identical is. therefore why why why. you can only be political because i don't see any sign of different rational or at least i'm unable to see any. just part of the prose i suppose a foot and feet appears to be less expensive easier to produce and deploy than some other jobs in terms markham of perhaps the world at large here there have been many difficulties with developing nations getting their hands on another jobs for those who are sick those who really need it whereas richer countries some of them being hoarding or perhaps just that you know they want to keep it short and safe but

perhaps they're doing with 3 or 4 more jobs per person than they actually need. is the fact the loose next crop props easier to to to hold sputnik this could be almost a game changer in terms of getting it i think into places that need it most. i think so i mean do you. believe your orders the 300000000 saying the last time i looked we have relations of 67000000 i think there was an element we didn't expect of people that they would all work and so they were sort of hedging their bets but i think it is. you know if you if you are interested in humanity then the idea that the rich nations the hundreds of millions. there are countries around the world just can't hold a tall i think that anything we should really be looking at with open arms because you know. i don't think. they're going to be for many countries because they have to be stored at minus 70 or minus 80 degrees centigrade and the facilities

available. around most of the country realistically so if you're going down. that can be stored in a normal fridge and normal vaccine temperatures otherwise this is not available around the world however much the westwards so yes vaccines such as acid and of course. can be kept at regional temperatures are really the way forward for much of the rest. is the point where you really want to get actually producing in certain countries getting it there are getting the the ability to make it faster to the people that's going to be the next big step is it. well a person is i mean realistically i mean. if actually these are the answer we're going to have rightfully so well no no i would you know what we you know billions of people so you know just everybody should be trying to reduce. this

and another thing to some of the guys are going to want are more actually using your crew sisters whereas it seems that the process of. rectors are a much more straightforward and less likely to go wrong much easier to distribute so i think. they are. i don't think. for most of the world it's just something you alluded to earlier about that issue of cooperation between countries in the fight against covert 19 do you have any hope at 2021 might be better than 2020 in that regard that we've seen these results in the west for such a sputnik v you know that growing i thought there and being able to show you're getting good results from w.h.o. but yet people are still not totally convinced what's it going to take malcolm to really get across that line. to an extent is the political decision i mean there

was the argument that the trials of in russia the scene but. the scene is not you do complete 3 clinical trials until 2023. notice we're going very much an interim results we are not we're not rushing to get there are obviously some risks involved in i think the concept that somebody is rushing it and therefore it's on so it won't. be using any of these. so i you know. it is political i'm sure it is i'm sure there's an element in europe will say you know not stating it well we are not sure that we trust that these vaccines are really sent because they're coming from russia in this case. how can you get around well. i don't know i presume you'd have to say well well well well well.

they think they should and the evidence that they're not so. i don't see is a short term solution. there is an element in the background. is a real barrier i don't know you know personally i see no reason to doubt that is the word no money does anyone know you know in peace speaking personally no. more more inclined to distrust some of the more large police in the west you have a tendency to to rush things so you know you want to get into a line you're. going to say you don't. value being produced it just. seems to be nice to. do for it and think you know why i was. always interested to get your thoughts mark and i suppose at a time of dread worry a little hint of positivity today anyway we'll see where it leads markham thanks

very much kendrick again pay for the u.k.'s national health service life from britain. we also spoke earlier in the program to karylle demetrius crow is director of the russia direct investment fund which is backing the sputnik the vaccine he ses one of the main goals is that issue we've just been speaking about going to equal distribution across the globe. this is really very important to call bush meant and we are thankful to the lands of 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 a solution because there are always 3 big seams now in the world was at the cost of more than 90 percent sputnik us one of them it's also a 100 percent efficient again severe disease we have very much focused on says being but seeing flows 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 told those over 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 weighed it already delivered what seemed bolger real ready delivered what seemed too good in the air so we had delivered what seemed to lights in america places a very elite mao on their served by civic scene a producer is already a nucleus registered in 16 countries by the end of next week i think it will great just that than 25 countries we do have some production constraints so this year we can probably supply only around 700000000 people those us so that means 101400000000 of those are so observant seeing and countries approaching right now

we can roll a supply this big scene inmate with june so basically we will not be the only folks in the world of course with up on one of the best but countries need to have a portfolio of different type scenes and reward with us of excellence as well for example what is authentic up to increase africa so they have a theme and we believe the spirit of partnership and works in cooperation with some porton. he needs law enforcement agency your. paul issued a warning at both the illegal production and distribution of fake coded 19 test certificates with many countries requiring a negative test to enter the agency believes criminal groups are taking advantage of the situation is several cases in fact haven't really been identified of course the continent taking us through some of them or europe correspondent peter all over the city if it gets 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 shall they call 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 woods of $300.00 euros europol themselves say that they expect the criminals to keep out they say as long as the significance a 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 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 minute 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 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 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 inside the european union the german health minister yen spahn has 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. a number of restaurants in france opened their doors on monday in defiance of coronavirus measures that

have been in place in the country since october although some restrictions have been lifted since then cafes and restaurants are still not able to host diners charlotte dubin ski reports. more to push a pair on and we'll see. since october this is been the extent of service available at restaurants and cafes in france takeaway only but as the men 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 liberty and for. the frenchman that is no longer respected i'm not able to work so i have no freedom and open he did so talk when it came to the crunch he settled on

a compromise. so we will serve food to people it says 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 all the restaurants have followed suit since now at the end of january 1 christophe will feel i'm bringing his establishment in 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 secession 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 now there were

reports 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 in print now they have you know wouldn't give an interview but told me off camera that diners had only eaten on the cover as it was raining and he also disputed that some were not just straight but support full believe business is has been growing on social media and 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. 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 stool 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 with estimated 95000 deaths january was the deadliest month of the pandemic in the united states during his campaign joe biden repeatedly blasted his previous issues hunting of the crisis but less than 2 weeks into his own term some are already starting to wonder if he'll keep his promises and picks up the story. joe biden has announced that fighting against coded 19 will be one of his top priorities as pandemic failures were among biden's biggest criticisms of his predecessor the president has no play that he hasn't laid out anything he knew all the way back in

february how serious this crisis was he said that we have to get back to work. and also deal with covert you can't get this country going again unless you get covert under control because the united states actually they tested positive for covert 90 this is not a matter of politics it's a bracing reminder to all of us who want to take this virus seriously joe biden says that he has a plan and it's over 200 pages long however lengthen eloquence of a document do not guarantee success biden has just started and already there are 20000000 vaccine doses missing this mystery if you want to call it that has hampered the ability of the new administration to vaccinate people at full speed it's been a week and the biden team is still searching for those missing doses meanwhile some of the communities that have been the hardest hit by the pandemic are facing big

problems as they get vaccinated in los angeles crowds of anti vaccine protesters block the entrance to dodge stadium preventing people from getting the jab that the nation operations were shut down for over an hour unbelievable if you don't want the vaccine fine but there are millions of angelenos the do 16000 of your neighbors have died so get out of the way protesters are not the only issue new york city is now in a state of emergency due to a snowstorm as a result of that the nations have paused there as well vaccination efforts in oregon were also hindered by weather conditions transportation issues made it impossible for certain people. to get their doses their 2nd doses on time as a result doctors just started handing out doses to whoever was available now the vaccines are quite fragile and if there's any problem with refrigeration it could possibly result in ruining the entire batch now in seattle we saw doctors rushing

to vaccinate people as quickly as possible after the refrigerator broke when that happened there was an immediate response to that we have got to get this 1600 doses . into people's arms in the next 12 hours let's make that happen and we made that happen by 3 15 am in the morning polls show that roughly half of americans are willing to get vaccinated despite the chaos however among the sections of the population that are already skeptical big concerns are rising a lack of trust and an unwillingness to get vaccinated is a big barrier toward biden's goal of reaching a swift recovery for the nation and at this point it doesn't look like the planning is going very well ivan 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 information would be available and be revealed once they got into the 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 oppen r.t. new york. well let's stay stateside with donald trump no out of the will office some comedians are struggling to find new material for their sketches and while many saw the former president as for a game it appears the new administration in washington is off limits here's to me tree poke. how do you make fun of a sitting presidents well in 2021 if you're sick 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 orange man 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 never felt so alive 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 could be moved thank you thank you for coming to watch my victory speech tonight. as anyone who does have way through tuesday knows i was

reelected president of the united states. but joe joe's a good guy joe here is very mean chris wallace is mean he couldn't be is me be keep using job which is me jimmy. the china virus has been very me 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. like germany and france have locked horns over par asis call to scrap the nord stream to gas pipeline project. it was i want to go deep as we have always said we

have the greatest concerns about the project when it is ready. the federal government said in the last few days that it has not changed its position on this project. the french government's demand to hold construction of nordstrom to is unreasonable and wrong stopping the already approved project would burden german gas customers and taxpayers due to higher gas prices and compensation payments for investments that have already been made or the construction of the russian german gas pipeline was recently resumed after being on hold for almost a year due to american sanctions more than 90 percent of the project is completed we got the thoughts from political commentator thomas fassbender and also french member of the european parliament terry mariani on the latest developments fortunately i think europe won't be. the best studio.

'd for america and. even if french company is involved in this project i think it's not a problem for marco and you know it so it's. european union said everything must be able 'd to read every single message be more or. echo to sheikh in fact 'd if we stop this project it will be shared guess we spruit from america less independence less security chic it is just me i think europe is muslim schist deny that sort of this isn't i'm convinced that there is a larger political maneuver or intrigue behind this we have a french energy corp which is owned by the french state to 25 percent of which is owned by the french state as part of the north stream to project so rather here

france works against their own economic interests so i would say there is a clear political background no economic background here and nothing that well i would say that is related to the competition between different energy electricity generation forms. returning to our breaking news story this hour russian opposition figure lex a novella only has been sentenced to 3 and a half years in jail for parole violations a moscow court and the verdict just under an hour ago the kremlin critic will actually serve 2 and a half years after a time under house arrest is taken into consideration let's speak. the moscow court where the verdict was igor there was a lengthy read by the judge outlining the court's decision tell us more about that

and the case itself. well union it took the court the whole day to you know go through all the procedures and to deliver the verdict of and finally it happened in the building right behind me you're right election of ali got he's suspended sentence reversed to a real one he got 3 and a half years in prison of which he's set to release 2 years and about 7 months because the court has decided to deduct the time that he had previously spent under house arrest and now we've seen election of only wife julia go that way down the street and he's a her husband election of ali he was taken down this street to well to the place where he will be serving his sentence his defense has already said that they will be appealing this decision it also has been a cool hearing like well no other at least full russia because right now you can in

the building behind me the raw embassy there are several embassy cars so several embassy cause they took representatives of several countries to witness the hearing for instance the representatives of the u.k. of switzerland sweden and many other nations in fact for russia this is quite unprecedented now the supporters of alexian of all. they have already released a cool out there for all these followers to descend on sunday school right outside the kremlin and world to make their voices heard to protest to demand the release of the kremlin critic in fact this whole area as you may see has been completely cold and and well only those who work in the media and those who have hearings here only those people were allowed inside the premises and outside the perimeter about we have reports of about 2 to 300 people detained those some hard khulna volley fans so we'll have to see how many will show up to central moscow now essentially

if the protest happens it will be the 2nd it will be yet another day i should say of protests in moscow we have seen 2 consecutive weekends tens of thousands of people gathered after an election of only himself called them to show up call them to swarm the streets now tens of thousands of people showed up we saw violence on both sides and thousands of people were detained basically the authorities are saying that this school this school to to assemble it was illegal it violated the russian law about well about mass protests and the so they deemed those protests while un sanctioned unauthorized hence the large number of those detained but in fact if you could hear probably in the background a policeman with a mouthpiece basically what he was saying and so will be saying he's telling

us meet the media to clear out because well that's it for today at least. thanks very much for bringing us through the latest developments there from the court where they. done within the past hour artie's. from the scene. where we know how much an impact the pandemic on the health of many people across the globe but what about the health of our colleagues what does the future actually old been bused deeper dive into that that's next. same wrong but old just told. me. to shape out just. to add to it and engagement equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. world is. shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask. secret prisons and usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived within. the world to view houses were

allowed to leave prison or worse located in the only way you can paul had access to the story for investigators sure how they uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean there you go rated nor in. your so for. crying for justice. with a vote but the one business show you can't afford for me i'm fair want to stay out in washington coming up. a new administration for the failed war with china and the taliban are going to.
