russian opposition figure. 3 and a half years in jail for breaking. disconnected from reality that's all russia's foreign ministry has brought it calls from the west one of these immediate release . of the world's leading medical journals give the seal of approval to russia sport and we back scene. is more than 90 percent effective. warning about the sale of fake difficult. to profit from travel restrictions. and a food fight breaks out in france as restaurants defy the government's code by opening the doors of the.

live from moscow thanks for joining us right here on r.t. international welcome to the program. here in moscow a court has sentenced the russian opposition figure of 3 and a half years in jail for parole violations the kremlin critic would actually serve 2 years and 8 months after time on the house arrest is taken into account the team called on his supporters to mediately rally on the streets as a result hundreds of people in moscow are out protesting against the sentence a large police force was deployed in the city. police have since cleared all the administrators from the center of the russian capital it's reported more than thousands of arrests were made throughout the day across russia. and extent of only was originally handed his 3 and a half year sentence back in 2014 though it was suspended. at the moscow court as the ruling was handed down on tuesday evening. 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 election of ali got his suspended sentence reversed to a real one he got 3 and a half years in prison or 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 his her and 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 for russia because right now you can in the building behind me there are embassy there are several embassy cars so several embassy cause they took representatives of several countries to witness the hearing for instance representatives of the u.k.

of switzerland sweden and many other nations in fact for russia this is quite unprecedented now the supporters of election of ali they have already released a cool out there for all election of ali's followers to descend on sun travel more 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 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 vonnie fans so we'll have to see how many will show up to central moscow we have seen 2 consecutive weekends tens of thousands of people are gathered after an election of only himself called them to show up call them to swarm the. crete's 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 the school it was the 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 still will be saying he's telling us meet the media to clear out because well that's it for today at least some western governments have condemned the court's ruling out of demanding the valley's for release moscow said they should keep their noses out of russia's affairs we reiterate our call for the russian government to immediately and

unconditionally release mr no vani as well as the hundreds of other russian citizens wrongfully detained in recent weeks for exercising their rights including the rights to freedom of expression and of peaceful assembly today's verdict against telling scene a violent is a bitter blow against fundamental freedoms and the rule of law in russia alexina valley must be released immediately the u.k. calls for the immediate and unconditional release of alexina volley and all of the peaceful protesters and journalists arrested over the last 2 weeks we've been getting reaction from analysts to the response of worthing countries through valleys sentance. it's just the hypocrisy of the west as we know it and this isn't it at its finest how can the west give lessons that to russia when we see the way for example the youngest movement was treated in france 3000 political opponents during these demonstrations were condemned in france 1000 political opponents were

imprisoned in a murder american state saying is that the valley must be released why did he start himself by releasing cringe political prisoners and his political opponents not only should those countries those western countries respect the independence of the russian federation but they should also respect the independence of the russian judicial system and so this of of the russian courts must be respected not all the by the russian government but also by governments around the world and they cannot ask for a government intervention and at the same time that russian courts have the freedom to decide in judicial matters so many political prisoners here in the united states the so many reasons to be in the streets protesting here. with so much injustice it's awfully suspicious that. specifically the liberal media has long had this obsession with alexina of our own the rusher is

a giant piece of the global chessboard so we know that they'll stop at nothing marked down any impediments you continue to travel or try to militarily and circle russia with nato and try to lay hold of this giant piece of the world chess court that i mention. mexico has become the latest country to sign up for russia's covert vaccine with millions of doses set to be delivered in the coming months at the same time hungary has received its 1st batch of sport mcvie it was the 1st to you know sion to approve of the job done by millions of doses meanwhile the. new study has found. percent effective. medical journal also stated the vaccine provides protection for all age groups. this interim analysis of the phase 3 trial of showed 91.6 percent advocacy against 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 hugh 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 8 into 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 corners 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 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 v so 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 wap . 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 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 has 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 odd 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 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 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 x.e. 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 in more than 50 countries have preordered the vaccine already india loon in his pended agreement to produce more than 100000000 doses of the sputnik vaccine the czech republic for example now launching consultations with hungry hungry was the 1st european nation to greenlight the vaccine so again a striking striking difference in attitudes towards food 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. a longer of medical experts we've heard from body of politics has been a major hurdle in the global fight against the pandemic the are in a vaccine which are so highly efficacious are very difficult to star that it that you know he's a minus 20 on 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 his 1st book neatly which is said this is not quite as if you gauge his change in us with a government seems 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 we are facing globally distribution as has their supply issues unfortunately missed every vaccine

right now and what i'm hoping is that we can all just for politics aside and that logic seem manufacturers which at present fine example in india. the get involved and start making loosen said has shown efficacy i think the whole covert story has been terribly politicized. the various levels and not being clear which with respect to both lockdowns and with regard to vaccines and it's tragic because it has destroyed good scientific data on it's has led to allegations against vaccines which are not scientifically substantiation did the dates of published in the lancet show that sputnik is a good and effective vaccine and likewise i mean last week we saw really while the allegations from some senior european union politicians making bizarre assertions

about the us through seneca. oxford vaccine which they could not substantiate. we also spoke to condole wintery of the rector of the russian the recommencement fund which is backing the sport negri vaccine he says one of the main goal has guaranteeing equal distribution across the globe. this is really buried 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 scenes 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 seem close and current 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 of most 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 story and have much more even and much more equal distribution or function the rounds the world and would make 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 early mile on their served by civic scene of producers already knew 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 those us so that means 101 point $4000000000.00 of those us observing seeing and countries approaching right now we can roll a supply this big scene inmate would join so basically we will not be the only

folks in the world of course with up until one of the best but countries need to have a portfolio of different but seems and reward was of excellence as well for example what disasters and the up to increase episode they haven't seen and we believe the spirit of partnership and works in cooperation with some porton. the used police agency europol has issued a warning about fake code to certificates with many countries requiring a negative test to went to the agency believes criminal groups are now taking advantage it's all of the reports the certificate 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 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 fits changing hands from anywhere between 40 euros and puts of $300.00 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 19 tests of tickets confirms the criminal sees profitable of chooses once the iranis 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 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 of total dependence on the continent good luck hofburg and is not

a concept what policy does great britain wish to choose it cannot be the close us ally of the u.s. 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. health policy analysts royally fears fake certificates could haul my efforts to fight the pandemic i just think it's a stupid crazy thing to do and i think the people that are printing these documents criminals crooks and we should throw them in jail the issue for me is the damage that it might do if someone who knows that they have and they can't get either

a test that is negative all they can they know it's too late for a vaccine if they're going to use the force document to travel knowing that they are all covert positive then these are the people that could do damage if they turn up in the united kingdom bought from somewhere from the united kingdom drugs from germany or anywhere across across europe then they could bring the infection with them and cools all kinds of drugs. number of restaurants in france open the doors on monday in defiance of locked on measures currently in place some restrictions have been lifted to cafes and restaurants are still not able to host dinah's show there was a report. those who push a pair on and see. since october this is been the extent of service available at restaurants and cafes in france takeaway only but as the memphis have thrived on with the new 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 french metal that is no longer respected today i'm not able to work so i have no freedom and open he did so. when it came to the crunch he settled on a compromise. so we will serve food to people it says a restaurant today i won't be able to reopen fully if i did i would lose my conversation follow says over and see my restaurant closed or go to prison his cool has spread across the country in other restaurants have followed suit since now at the end of january 1 christoph wilson i'm bringing his establishment in nice to around 50 customers yet.

christoph wilson's protest was short lived and the doors to poppies were once closed again but his lawyer is now taking his petition directly to president michel . 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 true there have also been raids on so-called deaths during the 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 it's been. as you can see it's still open now the owner wouldn't give an interview with 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 rates but support for believe businesses has been growing on

social media and many other restaurants and said that they 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 if we maintain social distancing and respect the rules the risk for restaurants will be 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. well from the whole setting away in just a few moments time for tea when i will be back and off without bringing all that i just global news updates to us again that.

wow you know things are gone topsy turvy the markets are undergoing a severe inspection point and those on the periphery are now driving this center. whacko time but much hated let's get into it. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. the isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being

led so. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows. in that regard when i got out the law there are a lot of the bloody at that time not a lot of them out of the money there when i met him and. this was a good time to. try to move. out of no mom. no mother now i want to get my little body enough for north america and our son

or ex chanting and they'll all people we believe just a little bit here. bottom of my case i live out the bubble so johnny boy are all the moment i thought of motherhood to a lot of kids there is a lot of them i'm a little work in my building looking at the pimp i don't want to put out a love to my recording or the role of the mother while the. greetings in salutation. while all of the keyboard warriors in the twitter verse

prove you don't need character to waste characters and the talking heads keep wasting all of our oxygen in the game show of political punditry the real world problems that affect you and i wealth inequality pandemic infections and environmental collapse well my friends they are continuing to multiply and multiply like the digits in a jeff bezos offshore bank account and boy who my friends did those digits multiplied things to our real world problems this week as the world's economic oligarchs kicked off the world economic forum in davos the green greed addicks version of coachella the global charity organization oxfam international crunch to last year's numbers and reports that quote the world's 10 richest men have seen their combined wealth increase by half a trillion dollars since the pandemic began that is more than enough to pay for a covert $1000.00 vaccination for everyone and to ensure no one is pushed into

poverty by the pandemic i want to make sure that you understand that let that sink in 10 people just 10 people out of the 7000000000 who inhabit this small blue planet could solve a world full of economic pandemic problems using only the wealth that they are earned and gained in the last $365.00 days of the year. and tragically we know you won't find that note in their daily planners. see while not physically meeting in davos the world economic forum is meeting virtually from january 25th to the 29th under the public relations theme of a crucial year to rebuild trust yes trust they say they want us to trust them again . as oxfam's executive director told the media we stand to witness the greatest rising quality since records began the deep divide between the rich and the poor is

proving as deadly as the virus extreme inequality is not inevitable but a policy choice yes my friends we are the victims of their choices and now now they want us to trust them again. as the apostle paul once wrote all wrongdoing can be traced to an excessive attachment to material wealth so let's drop our attachments to their material addiction and rebuild trust in ourselves not them as we start watching the hawks. in a city. that are so you. see the grass is always. great desolate systemic deception is so which. brings up the real.

world we're going to watch in the.
