to move to. keep. from no chong said giving it a show in western countries change that you don't brush the sputnik feedback scene off to a need to confront since high efficacy we hear from the c.e.o. of the fund backing the job. when you come by and see you know the price and logistics you really know what i believe is the best over to the world and me scientists comes up with a degree meanwhile despite a wave of criticism of european commission president sort of on to lead refuses to apologize for the blogs slovaks and rolled out. the russian opposition figure out of state of obvious sentenced to 3 and a half years in jail by a moscow airport but of countries in the west beat hasty and condemning the ruling

. good morning from moscow it's just gone 9 am this is our national good to have your company. well let's start off fine you got some good news mexico has become the latest country to officially approve the russian covert foxey and with millions of doses set to be delivered in the coming months that comes hot on the heels of a new study in the long medical journal which has found sputnik z to be more than 90 percent effective meanwhile over in europe hungary which was the fust e.u. country to approve sputnik house already received its boss of the shot as part of a 2000000 deal other key states in the block france and germany are awaiting a decision by the e.u. regulator. either the. anyone who applies to the european medical agency for

approval is welcome i talked with the russian president exactly about this when they wanted the good data and of the russian vaccine any vaccine is welcome in the european union but only ones that give the us a survey data to the european medicines agency will be approved and. several weeks ago i sent a scientific mission to russia in order to exchange data with the teams we saw today data indicating a very strong efficiency of the sputnik vaccine but we can't distribute it in front and so the russian producers submit a request to our authorities it's normal it's a matter of health care responsibility now even before the lancet article russian scientists had been insisting that sputnik they was safe and effective but didn't stop it from receiving a wave of criticism in the west though as more are gods they have now explains though even some stores critics are having a change of heart and a ready to give sputnik the shot. barely a few months ago the cure was sold to us is worse than the disease they mulct

sputnik we they don't ride did it they tried to turn it into a joke but with out of these 3 mass trial completed it sounds like the process hasn't run its course here america's top researchers say russia cutting corners to develop its corona virus vaccine they're still trying to figure out safety and yet there they've approved it the irony is of course that these same people the same people who accused russia of spreading vaccine conspiracies and of discouraging people to get the job the irony is often lost on these sorts this is c.n.n. in a tube so you know that they're trying to trash talk it when they start by calling it putin's vaccine which was apparently dangerous and unreliable reading between the lines this is c.n.n. now and somehow sputnik has become safe and potent one of only 3

vaccines with an efficacy of over 90 percent that's cheaper it's easier to produce and to transport and side effects don't include catatonic allergic sieges what the trials showed us 91.6 percent episodes of exceeding 91.8 percent effort is required truly people older than 60 years old and also in ma the important part of the vaccine it's affordable and it's easy to distribute around the world because humankind exceeds because it can be stored at plus 2 plus beat versus minus 70 degree celsius required by the u.s. but scenes and of course one 3rd of the u.s. we've seen so when you combine safety efficacy price and logistics you really have what i believe is the best of acute in the world and me scientists in the world agree the lancet medical journal has published preliminary results for things 3. trials of sputnik and their good side effects if any doesn't require

a deep freeze so more widely available to poorer nations when russian scientists said all of this it was met with our roles and mockery but when other scientists say the same thing they all gnawed sagely in agreement this is clearly good news as these dual formulation vaccine is comparatively easy to manufacture and to deploy i mean they anticipated global shortage of vaccines and logistical problems in vaccination rollout it's interesting timing to now that maternal pfizer vaccines are experiencing shortages and disruptions sputnik isn't so bad after all it never was but politics is politics and a vaccine isn't immune to political trash talk as sad as that is around 50 nations have already preordered sputnik jabs and europe hungry was the 1st european nation

to greenlight it and now the czech republic is looking to follow and its footsteps i know that sputnik has already i suspect being used in hungary and i have no objection to this vaccine being used in our country if the experts so decide he's still better than people dying here just because of a lack of vaccines so after months of denial and the reason the pundits too are coming around it was easy to mock russian scientists it's harder to mock international studies hard science and that was enough of a jolt to convince even pundits to give sputnik we a shot in late january i took a test for coated 19 antibodies the results according to an interpretive scale provided by the clinic indicates that my antibody levels were probably sufficient to prevent illness the oed struck me as high but my own personal pandemic was nearing its end if you are asked. the average person before this pandemic how they

thought the world would react to this this huge global health crisis they would probably have said by uniting we now know that that would have been the wrong answer and if anything the past year was a chaotic free for all a rat race where everyone is for themselves it's nice to see that at last good sense and reason are starting to prevail over propaganda and politics i think the whole cold story has been terribly pleased to let you sized. the verb levels and not being clear which with respect to both locked rooms and with regard to vaccines and it's tragic because it is destroyed good scientific. anita's all that allegations against scenes which are not scientifically substantiated did the dates of published in the lancet show that sputnik is a good and effective vaccine. carole dimitrov who is the director of the investment

fund behind the russian job stressed the need for equitable facts in access. we have lots of countries and let's and america in middle east and africa who will be using sport and you can be a backseat it's very important only reach countries get told those over it seems this is really not equitable for the world i think politicians overreach countries will try to do so but there should be a mechanism storyless have much more evil and much more equal distribution or function the rounds the world and sputnik the is committed those of us we can 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 at the places of the really now there are served by as a big scene of producers already these registered in 16 countries by the end of next week i think it will be registered 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 or so is a big scene and countries of the approach and right now we can oliseh plight as we've seen in may or june so basically we will not be the only flexing of the world of course with the one taiwan was a best of but countries need to have a portfolio of different but seems and woodward was of excellence as well for example what disasters and to increase advocacy of their big scene and we believe the spirit of partnership and works in cooperation with some board. the european commission chief is being buried by pressure over a shortage of covert maxine's in the e.u. us yvonne to that end though has defended the block's relatively slow rollout saying it would not compromise on safety but even help predecessor. process doubts . i believe it all went too slow it hasn't all been done with the maximum

transparency even though that would have been a difficult task the e.u. vaccination program is widely perceived to have moved at a glacial pace we heard john claude younker there saying that he thinks it could have gone faster the person it seems that doesn't think it's moved far too slow is the current incumbent of the job of e.u. commission president on the line she says that it's being purposeful that it's moving in the right direction she certainly doesn't think that it's being slowed that any delays have been because the e.u. didn't want to compromise on safety some country stary to vaccinate a little before europe it is true but they resorted to emergency 24 hour marketing authorisation procedures the commission in member states agreed not to compromise with the safety and advocacy of requirements linked to the authorization of the vaccine well that comment is being seen as a bit of a dig at the united kingdom which approved with the urgency measures both pfizer

and astra zeneca vaccines in record time the prime minister's spokes person in london has said that at no point were more safety compromised in all of the corrective measures were followed. new coolness were cooked and new students were left unturned and the coming was based on an extremely thorough evaluation of all the data from the clinical trials the european medicines agency the may greenlit the astra zeneca vaccine for use for everyone over the age of 18 in the e.u. just last friday however some member states of raised questions over it being given to those age 65 and over that's based on the data all the the lack of data for that demographic that was provided to the germany was the 1st to suggest that they didn't want to give it to that age group poland have now followed and perhaps the most shocking comments have come out of france where the french president emmanuel

might call this described the vaccine is quasi ineffective against the corona virus in those age 65 and both well that those claims of being rubbished by scientists question where mr crone is getting that from and suggesting that the french president may be engaging in a bit of demand management with those type of statements. but here in russia in moscow court has given opposition figure alex a new found me a 3 and a half year jail sentence for allegedly parole violations of all means royals have already said that they will appeal the decision while following the supporters took to the streets of central moscow to protest the ruling the area was quickly cordoned off by riot police deployed near red square many of the protesters were detained as the demonstration had not been approved by the authorities. more i'm joined now by our seas igor started in the studio. while 1st off let's talk about

how it might not necessarily be a thing that's hitting the headlines here in russia but wild why this story is gained maybe armed you traction well it certainly gain some traction internationally. been covered in russia for sure but the amount of attention it's getting from international sources well it is almost like they are the russian media so well when it comes to the sentencing itself international reactions they started to poor in right on cue after the judge delivered her verdict and there when i say right on cue it's almost like they had a starting gun because within minutes after the ruling we started to receive statements from all over the world from the u.k. from the u.s. from germany france the council of europe really you name it all of them almost following the saying the very same time template all of them calling it putting

alexina value on a pedestal and calling for his release. we reiterate 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 gelatine 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 vali and all of the peaceful protesters and journalists arrested over the last 2 weeks. when it comes to international support really this hearing it has been like no what no other one in russia has been unprecedented not because only because of its magnitude but also because the international community they've got to witness the hearing itself right

before it started we saw a motorcade of embassy cars taking foreign diplomats to the to to witness the hearing just imagine for instance a russian embassy car go into witness a julian assange hearing in london so that would that would raise quite a number of eyebrows in the west but this it was not one embassy guy was a whole motorcade from all over europe from sweden for instance from the u.k. again and so one even the spokes person of the u.k. coup which they said that well this is something that they have never experienced in their years of practice when it comes to the reaction from the russian foreign ministry well it was it was quite expected i should say the spokeswoman marie is a harvard she called it a essentially foreign meddling in russia's internal affairs. it was in the post that we shot this is no longer just a theory has been turned in

a sense that the severing state it is the south exposure of the west and its. it's to contain russia in an appealing in a legal way. and this is the problem here this is the discrepancy between how the excuse me how the international community is treating this case and how russia creates it because for russia it's internal matters a russian citizen being world being sued under russian law in russia and for the international community it's almost like a lever to be pulled against russia and like to be used against russia and to get some political gain on the diplomatic arena or as you've said we also heard the harvest say this is an internal issue so why is it that western nations have come out and it been so quick to condemn the valedictory of a sovereign country well it was quite expected because for them. they are hailing

him as the opposition leader even though the ra position forces in russia who wouldn't put him in that position of the chieftain but when it comes to the ruling and how just it is mean it depends because if you if you are a supporter then of course you will view it as unjust you know you will you will hear his arguments and you will disagree with the court but the court sided with the prosecution completely and here's an important detail the court didn't really give a new sentence just reverse the previous one so essentially here's some background yeah back in 2014 election of ali was found guilty of embezzlement and received a suspended sentence of 3 and a half years but well. suspended sentence now has been reversed so it's the same sentence but he won't even have to serve that much because the judge decided to deduct the number of years he spent here previously spent under house arrest and moreover the federal prison service in russia the realest there. own

statistics showcasing their collection of ali it's not he's not getting special treatment here of course he stands out of the crowd of other thousands of people who have their suspended sentences reversed because he strives to be a politician he is an outspoken critic of the kremlin so there's also that there's always that but at the same time again thousands of people yearly they get their suspended sentences reversed for various violations and alexi election of on his case for instance he has been making a case that he was in berlin for treatment he was in a coma so he couldn't really well he couldn't really follow everything that he was going to do that everything that he was supposed to do all the procedures you know with regards of his suspended sentence but in fact the prosecution has made a point that it doesn't boil down to just that period from you know 10 but you know

the last half of the last year no it's over the course of 5 years of his probation period according to the prosecution election of on the violated the conditions of his probation period some 60 times so that's a lot and again it's not only it's not it's important to stress that we're not talking about just the period of time when he was receiving treatment in berlin and upon his return to russia up until his return to russia it goes way before that apparently he was violating his parole conditions for 4 years and the government the government they treated it with a kind of you know you got away with a slap on the wrist well not this time and world the judge decided to side with the prosecution for certain for a russian city had been tried in a russian court according to russian law everyone outside of russia seems to have a very strong opinion on that that was actually. well some countries including the

u.s. have already suggested imposing sanctions on russia over the whole of our saga we spoke to our guests who shot that falls on the matter. it's just the hypocrisy of the west as we know it and this is it at its finest how can the west give lessons but to russia when we see the way for example the hill best movement was treated in france 3000 political opponents during these demonstrations were condemned in france 1000 political opponents were imprisoned in a mineral management state saying is that the valley must be released why did he start himself by releasing french 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 authority of the russian courts must be respected not all of 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 mattress with various governments or come out to criticize the kremlin and washington to conduct more war than they are acting as we could have predicted just as the kremlin has acted as a group. question in the present which is done everything possible to deserve the west meaning particularly the states. and to a lesser degree germany or ring leaders you know up again to move if there were fire russia and to draw attention toward the one seen with political developments in the west going back to the storming of the capital which was quite monstrous compared to anything that's happened in washington the last group which. state saw it with his impeachment trial room and donald trump's political future is on the

line the u.s. senate is due to start proceedings next monday then president donald trump was impeached let's just remind ourselves by congress. last month that's the 2nd time in as many years this time though he's being charged with incitement to insurrection over the storming of the capitol however his lawyers have denied that the former president whipped up his base some will argue instead that his trial is unconstitutional as he's already left office while if convicted trump would be barred from holding public office ever again he will also lose the financial benefits given to former presidents as well as secret service protection but while some predict trump's career is over for good others argument that a comeback is just a matter of time. well i think it's important to understand exactly why democrats are still going through with this impeachment a lot of people might see that the president trump is no longer in office and think that it's pointless but i think they're being very calculated here don't forget

that if democrats successfully impeach donald trump he will be ineligible to run in 2024 and i think that's what this is all about so people might be talking about donald trump being over in politics but the democrats i think clearly do not think that and we also need to remember that a majority of republicans still think that the election results in 2020 were fraudulent you know donald trump being on the ticket in elections has made a huge difference difference for republicans and we just look and see what happened in the georgia runoff when trump was not on the tickets and republicans by and large stayed home so i think if anyone is trying to count out donald trump whether they be on the right or the left that's a mistake the reason why trump is hated so much within his own party is he's hated by the part of the party that's within the washington beltway he's hated by the elites of the party because the elites of the party are terrified populism they're terrified of a populist leader because they themselves are actually not liking the fact that trump is very well liked by millions of americans terrifies them couldn't come back

yes he will not be impeached the votes are not there we already know that from a procedural vote that senator paul called for last week when only 5 republicans peeled away and the republicans are starting to feel the heat from americans for turning on trump so the votes are not there are running clee as has happened throughout the least the last 5 years or so every car in the democrats attempt to do something to destroy trub and owsley only makes them stronger and i think this impeachment fiasco the sham will have the same effect for trump it will actually make them stronger in the end kevin is right they're trying to push. this populism out of the republican party bloodstream and they really want to get rid of it for them it is a tremendous corruption because a tramp. represents something that they don't have any interest in they don't have an interest in populism or the. basic continue principles that

trump supports which is america 1st they really only put up with trump because they had to because of his fast. support so i think that it's going to be white it's going to have quite an impact on that's the good folks inside of the party if he should try to run again even in 2016 week we can't forget that the republican party was not united behind donald trump in terms of the insiders donald trump was a pick that was purely by the people ultimately with primaries in 2024 it's not going to be up to the establishment to choose who the next candidate will be dull trump is bombing from most major social media platforms they were his main political tools he cut out the middlemen the media he went straight to the people will not prevent him getting his message out in future it is quite difficult now that he's been in all of the major social media platforms and really the media and general and there are the filter for the media so you know with all of these forces aligned against him it's going to be quite difficult to really emerge to reemerge i

should say as a viable option is running against the entire political establishment the entire media which meant the social media establishment would be running against basically all the powers that be and i just don't know that he has that kind of force to overcome such obstacles what are they afraid of why are they so afraid of him he can't have social media can't be on the media their freedom allowing him to speak they're afraid of allowing him to appeal that means there is a huge appeal that trump reclaims to this day he still very dangerous to his enemies both within the democratic and the republican party he will be a force to be reckoned with in the future if you desire is to. find if this hour a man in the u.k. has been left with a bit to take. in his mouth after being arrested by police for giving out free soup in a local park and that was apparently on the grounds that he was violating covert 19 rules next myth had been serving as i said soup to vulnerable people at makeshift

kitchen he'd set up in his local state park but the sussex police force and stepped in saying that he was encouraging 2 or more people to gather which breaks current coronavirus cubs smith though claims people doing charity or volunteer work are exempt from not rule but the police disagree offices in with the parties involved explain the restrictions in relation to the look and encourage compliance with the government guidelines well ray woolford who is also of food banks britain believes that in this case the u.k. police overzealous. there is a clear guidance in the restrictions and that means that the voluntary sector those of us that enfolds with feeding people in a crisis are exempt from the regulations that the most of the public are have to adhere to people arriving for soup catching kitchen is except suppose it was they

get their soup and then they move on this was in an open environment a safe environment it was within the guidelines of ovid for the voluntary sector and frontline services i work with another organization called street kitchen and street kitchen operates across 7 different districts in london on the streets feeding people in crisis in exactly the same way that this man was helping his neighbors in his local community what's really happening here is that the police in different areas do not seem to be 1 aware of what's happening in other areas so they're all misunderstanding the regulations. about the things that say thing up around the place to go for the very latest take a peek and have a good day.
