must protect its own existence with existence. from no chance to giving it a shot to western country for change that cuban on russia's but nick the vaccine after leaving magical jonell publishes a study about its africa see we have from the c.e.o. of the fund tracking the child. when you come by and see the price of logistics you really know what i believe is the best over to the world and me scientists comes along to greet. meanwhile despite a wave of criticism of european commission president upset of long delay and refuses to apologize for the blocks so i would vaccine rolled out. on didn't the u.k. police arrest a man dishing out free soup to the vulgar pole for violating

a knockdown rules. if you do see. these an abusive family come to him. because he. knows it's the using the signals of young people here to. bring you your news around the clock this is r.t. international live from the russian capital thanks for joining us. well starting off bulletin this hour mexico has become the latest country to officially approved the russian covert vaccine with millions of doses set to be delivered in the coming months now that comes hot on the heels of a new study in the long medical journal which has found sputnik seemed to be more the 90 percent effective meanwhile over in europe hungry which was the fusty you nation to approve sputnik the. he has already received that fast part of the shop

as part of a 2000000 doses deal other key states in the block france and germany are awaiting a decision by the e.u. regulator. anyone who applies to the european medical agency for approval is welcome i talked with the russian president exactly about this we noted the good data today about the russian vaccine any vaccine is welcome in the european union but only once that give the necessary data to the european medicines agency will be approved several weeks ago i sent a scientific mission to russia in order to exchange data with the teams the 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 well even before the lancet article russian scientists had been insisting this but think there was no say on defective didn't stop it from receiving

a wave of criticism in the west though but as more and gaza have explains even some staunch critics are now having a change of heart are finally ready to give sputnik a shot. barely a few months ago the cure was sold to us is worse than the disease they mocked sputnik we they don't ride did it they tried to turn it into a joke and 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 coronavirus vaccine they're still trying to figure out safety and 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 this 91.6 percent episodes of exceeding 91.8 percent efficacy where 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 big scene because it can be stored at plus 2 plus 8 versus minus 70 degree celsius required by the us big scenes and of course half of one 3rd of the u.s. we've seen so when you combine safety ethic is the price and logistics you really

have what i believe is a best of acute in the world and many scientists in the world agree the lancet medical journal has published preliminary results for things 3. trials of sputnik and their good mild 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 nod 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 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 region 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 scrutiny we shot sputnik v. was waiting for me at my neighborhood clinic the job was quick and almost painless 3 weeks later i had my 2nd injection in late january i took

a test for covering 1990 bodies the results according to interpretive scale provided by the clinic indicated that my auntie body levels were probably sufficient to prevent it. mous just struck me as high that's my own personal pump was nearing its and 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 united we now know that that would have been the wrong answer for anything the past year was a chaotic free for all rat race where everyone is for themselves and starts to see that at last good sense and reason are starting to prevail over propaganda and politics the director of the investment fund behind of awesome job. just how out of the previous piece to also stress the need for equitable vaccine access. we have lots of countries in latin america in middle east and africa who will be using

sport and you can be back see 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 even and much more equal distribution or function the rounds the world and sputnik the is committed those of us weighed and already delivered what seemed bolger real ready delivered what seemed too good in the air so we had delivered what seemed collection america places a diary really now on there are served by the big scene of producers already knew these registered in 16 countries by the end of next week i think it will be registered and 25 countries we do have some production constraints so this year we can probably supply only around 700000000 people doses so that means 101400000000 of those us observing seeing and countries of the approach and right now we can oliseh plight as a big scene in may june so basically we will not be the only folks in the world of

course with the i want those the best but countries need to have a portfolio of different but seems and reward was as of excellence as well for example work disasters and to increase advocacy of their big scene and we believe that spirit of partnership and works in cooperation with subordinates all the pill thickens in the ongoing vaccine spot between britain and the u.k. . you with the u.k. minister michael dobbs condemning the binocs recent actions in parliament. because issues move has provoked and and concern across all parties and throughout society in northern ireland as well as international condemnation trust has been rooted damage has been done and urged action is therefore needed when it comes as the e.u. had planned to restrict exports to countries outside the bloc including northern ireland 2 thirds shortage of vaccines european commission chief of on demand has

defended the blocks relatively slow rollout saying it would not compromise on safety but even have pre-disaster. has his 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 proved 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 in 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 a.m.a. 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 dates of all the the lack of data for

that demographic that was provided to the e m a 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 of come out of france where the french president emanuel is described the vaccine is quasi in affective against the corona virus in those age 65 and above well that those claims of being rubbished by scientists question where mr micron is getting that from and suggesting that the french president may be engaging in a bit of demand management with those type of statements. some western governments have been quick to condemn a moscow court ruling to jail wash in opposition figure alexina volumnia over parole violations prompting moscow to say really they should mind their own business auntie's equal time off gave me all the details. well it certainly gain some traction internationally has been covered in russia for sure but the amount of

attention it's getting from international sources it is almost like they the russian media 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 same the very same time template all of them calling putting alexina value on a pedestal and calling for his release 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 gelatine a violent is a bitter blow against fundamental freedoms and the rule of law and russia alexina vilely 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 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 going to witness a julian a son cheering 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. but. the person at the press office here

you. know you've heard of the speaker and i'll read. it. 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 horrible as she called it a essentially foreign meddling in russia's internal affairs it was in the process of mischa this is no longer just interference in the internal affairs of a 7 state it is the south exposure of the west in its attempts to contain russia in an unappealing and illegal way for russia its internal matters a russian citizen being world being sued under russian law in russia and for the international community it's almost like a 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 however say this is an internal issue

so why is it that western nations have come out in it been so quick to condemn the verdict of the country while it was a quite expected because for them alexina vollies a hero the they are hailing him as of the opposition leader if you are a supporter then of course you will view it as unjust yeah 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 or just reverse the previous ones the federal prison service in russia the release their 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. 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 if they get their suspended sentences reversed for various violations 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 you was violating his parole conditions for 4 years and the government the government the tree to the world the kind of you know you got away with a slap on the wrist while not this time and world the judge decided to side with the prosecution following the verdict in a valley supporters took to the streets of central moscow to protest the ruling the area was quickly cordoned off by riot police deployed here by this many of the protesters were detained as the demonstration had not been approved by authorities of arnie's roy said they would appeal the decision saying that.

some countries including the u.s. have already suggested imposing sanctions on russia over of all these case earlier we spoke to our guests who gave us their thoughts on the matter. the hypocrisy of the west as we know it and this is at its finest how can the west give lessons but to russia when we see the way for example to yield best the movement was treated in france 3000 political opponents during these demonstrations were condemned in france 1000 political opponents were imprisoned and the mineral management states saying is that developing must be released why did he start himself by releasing cringe for the 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 welt and they cannot

ask for government intervention and at the same time that russian courts have the freedom to decide in traditional mattress with various governments that have 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 who took to. the equation in the present which is everything possible to preserve the west meaning particularly the states. and to a lesser degree germany or ring leaders you know propaganda movie if there were fire russia and to draw attention away. from the scene with political developments in the west going back to the storming of the capital which was quite monstrous compared to anything would stop and then russia in the last few weeks. while still had a british man giving out free soup to the vulnerable was enough to take his wealth

to police to arrest him for packing violating the knockdown rules or talk about a much more often.

how best to describe the events being played out in the financial markets david versus goliath the rise of populist finance or the corruption of the financial system being exposed again one thing is for sure there is a strong demand to democratize the financial world the little guy demands to also participate with big finance and government allow. them but now a british man giving out free soup in a local park has found himself in hot water after being arrested by police apparently on the grounds that he was violating kovac 19 rules you're going to see he's going to face an abuse of power point from the few months back something to

feel comfortable going to actually. be using the citizens of. means going to humans . well next myth had been sobbing seem to vulnerable people at a makeshift kitchen he'd set up himself in his local skate park but the sussex police force did saying he was encouraging 2 or more people to gather which breaks current coronavirus cards smith though claims people doing charity or volunteer work are exempt from that rule but the police disagree offices in gauge with the parties involved explain the restrictions in relation to the look at them and encourage compliance with the government guidelines re woolford to all thought of food bank of britain believes that in this case the u.k. please overzealous there is a clear guidance in the restrictions and that means the voluntary sector those of us that involved 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 acceptable as long as they get the soup and then they move on this was in an open environment a safe environment it was within the guidelines of code of aid 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 street 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 aware of 'd what's happening in other areas so they're all misunderstanding the regulations america's top infectious disease expert dr anderson fouty has backtracked on his own double masking recommendation he's now saying that data does not show that it increases

protection against the coronavirus despite previously quoting it commonsense. you have a physical covering with one layer you put another layer on it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective there is no data indicates that is going to make a difference on this isn't the 1st time the fouts has been caught flip flopping on his medical advice months after the fast case of covert were detected in the us the expert was still saying the use of mosques was not necessary only to change his mind later found he had also railed against the trumpet ministrations that giving conflicting guidance on mosques despite of course being part of the coronavirus task force himself right now people should not be what there's no reason to be walking around with a mask the fundamentals are not rocket science it's universal wearing of masks an issue in that is to make sure you do whatever you can to save the safety and the

health of the children as well as the teachers close the bars and keep the schools open. we heard from executive vice president of the eurasia. he believes that front his medical advice might not always be rooted in science. i don't know if the science is really there or think it's just the opinion from the natural perspective and. if you're going to change opinion back and forth absolutely what i think you're going to say now actually what he want you there may be political product or one of the other c.d.c. has come out and basically said no there's no sort of support for wearing local there but i can understand why where you may be waffling back and forth because it isn't and in kind of a very questionable area one mass made stop 95 percent certain maybe maybe a cotton mask will stop 40 or 50 percent so maybe dual mass would stop you know

5 or 10 percent more made. to roughhouse let's take a quick look at some of the stories that brief starting us off as you can see the violent clashes between police and students and use them both tear gas rubber bullets protesters being chased a reporter to go for 150 arrests why the student so angry while talk is president recep won majors a possible appointment of a new director of one of the country's most prestigious universities something usually decided internally and for weeks in major projects across campus the students have been crying foul saying this is undemocratic and ensures party loyalists in top positions. well let's look upwards this time to the sky a way space x. prototype boston to flames and crash landed on tuesday you know mosque hoping to send people to malls and that will be disappointed it's the 2nd time his starship has listened to the sky in texas where it wants problems a commentator said that was

a little bit of work to be done which some could say is an understatement. and finally what about the story to end on the one about a dolphin nick the bottlenose who quite literally has a nose for picking the winner of the super bowl next decide to disappear to place his bet on the kansas city chiefs and given his successful. predict the weather 6 times before don't dismiss him too quickly the kansas city chiefs and the tampa bay buccaneers are having a final showdown on sunday each one wants to take home the long trophy isn't it on the money again this year will have to wait and see all that's me for the day i'll do far more will be here at the top so join in then as for me.

world is driven by shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask. secret prisons and usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however he even the most prosperous can be deceived within this 0 song there were 2 view houses were allowed to leave prison were located and only people had access to the story investigators she held the uncovered the darkest dealings of

the secret services but i mean. the great of nor. awful. thing for justice. hello and welcome to cross talk were all things are considered how best to describe the events being played out in the financial markets today. versus goliath the rise of populist finance or the corruption of the financial system being exposed again one thing is for sure there is a strong demand to democratize the financial world the little guy demands to also participate well big finance and government allow them.

to discuss these issues and more i'm joined by my guest john timoney in washington he is director of the center for economic freedom at freedom works in chicago we have to horowitz he is the chief strategist of both the trading and in jamaica we crossed image firesign he is a portfolio manager and author of planet of the argument cross tackles and i think that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it is going to top for us to end in chicago this game stop story fascinates a lot of people but for a lot of very different reasons one i think for the popular media it's about grievance redress is some kind of populist finance for others it shows the inadequacies and actually kind of loopholes that are in the finance.
