job. we must not be afraid of the origins of vaccines what's important for us is the transition to the european medicines agency we have urged the e.u. to scientifically evaluate the russian vaccine and those from other countries the situation in the country has been exacerbated by my durness saying it would deliver fewer doses the next spectate in february and the italian government has already said it would take legal action against both pfizer and masters that like a covert vaccine delays well earlier one of the world's most prominent medical journals the lancet published a study which estimated the efficacy of the book make the ads 90 percent while at the same time showing it was safe for the elderly and had no serious side effects we heard from antonio fall like oh the president of an ngo law being for approval of sputnik v. in italy has also had the job himself. my

whole family received sputnik the jobs back in november and now we have a high level of unseen bodies my family and i trust science science has no borders we know that russia has great scientific traditions so we had no doubts about taking the russian job as of today many european countries including germany france italy would like to receive the russian vaccine numerous requests have already been sent these days it is particularly clear as we see pfizer astra zeneca and other companies delaying vaccine supplies and fortunately the virus has no limits as well so these countries have been forced to opt for the russian vaccine whether they want it or not in italy for example despite an unfolding governmental crisis news about sputnik the covers the front pages of virtually all the italian newspapers giorgio pollard the chairman of the italian medicines agency which grants permission for the use of vaccines in italy praised sputnik v in one of his latest interviews. or on the narrow bridge the
5:04 am
e.u. has been determined to participate in the huddling of the pandemic the block has demonstrated it however unfortunately this political will has not been successfully put into practice furthermore there is an issue of vaccines they turned out to be a very expensive trading commodity he gave rise to huge competition germany signed a bilateral contract with pfizer for 300000000 doses it certainly did not go down well with other e.u. countries the deals which the e.u. made with various suppliers are still being kept secret we still don't know their terms and why there are delays in the last few days supplies hit the gas though apparently they are trying to overcome these delays related to the deadline which have partly been caused by a virus so in confusion. while leaders including the french president and the european commission head have published a joint article calling for
5:05 am
a coordinated approach to fighting the pandemic the pandemic calls for a strong coordinated international response that rapidly expands access to tests treatments and vaccines recognizing extensive immunization as a global public good that must be available and affordable for all. however some of the e.u. is closest neighbors are yet to receive any jobs bosnia and herzegovina kossovo other republic of north macedonia are among the countries still empty handed more than a month after the european union started its vaccination campaign and independent journalists they believe the situation it could have been handled better. it was very badly managed simply. signed a contract write contracts. you know picked they were completely wrong even if every count. now about 2 percent of the european population as been vaccinated with
5:06 am
the 1st those is really showing that it doesn't function it's only last friday that he asked about seneca vaccine is only being accepted by europe on friday last week i mean you know presented the email the european medicines agency accepted it for the 65 plus but then some countries don't accept it can't work like that if there is an ok european level there is an ok so it's it's not functioning now to the u.k. where the government has denied that disabled people have been quote treated badly during the pandemic and comes of questions are being raised over the lack of benefits granted to those more vulnerable support groups have been campaigning for the u.k.'s pandemic cash program to be extended to the over $2000000.00 people on legacy benefits david allen a multiple sclerosis sufferer left a bed ridden during the pandemic told as he felt abandoned. sometimes we hear really bad news stories where somebody who lives alone has been found dead in the
5:07 am
home for several days potentially but it could have happened to me and nobody would have checked up on even if i did have a carer who would put the could coming and how they would be allowed to unless it was formally recognize a social care as a result of the mc of the lockdown but really we've had to rely on giving our food shopping delivered to us my shopping bill normally comes to between $25.35 pounds per week if you're shopping mordor is less than 40 you get whacked with a somehow delivery charge that's not going to certain pounds i've not budgeted and during mind i had no increase in my income i have to find it from someone so i have to give something else up in order to get my food to the reality. for decades people living with long term conditions the only link creases and benefits
5:08 am
i should. have not kept pace with the rise in the cost of living. and that was even before the pandemic his friends and has been compounded even more than we have a 2 tier system so $11.00 people who get the universal credit be given the additional support but those of us with legacy benefits have been given nothing. the majority of disabled people in the u.k. say they've spent more than usual on shopping and utility bills with nearly 70 percent revealing they've had to go without essentials and almost half falling behind on their financial commitments our guests are david allen says he's had to sit in the dark just to save electricity he told us how some of the country's most vulnerable have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. i've left feeling
5:09 am
abandoned and forgotten and down and it seems quite convenient for the government to forget people like us and what i find really hard to understand is the mixed messages that we get from government that have been statements about it's cheap to look after people with long term conditions in their own home rather than putting them into care but we're not getting support to the small we actually need to remain around homes there are those people that really struggle he has been documented people have taken their own lives as a result of this too many people have been left behind and there's too many people really really struggling to make him a hard decision nor do you have the heart the lights on do or have a mayor who don't have the heating the home country believe we're somewhere around the 5th 6th richest country in the world it's outrageous i'm sorry i think our
5:10 am
government should be ashamed of themselves for. the world's richest person amazon founder jeff bezos that on tuesday he would be stepping down as the company's chief executive after 27 years and a letter to amazon employees he said he would remain involved with amazon but dedicate more time to charity work dimitri park picks up the story. everyone likes convenience but in this weird time where the pandemic the stores are all closed and nothing is as convenient as amazon we all use it but let's face it it's becoming harder and harder so you know are the teensy fact that they're really a giant soulless monopoly and who better to represent that monopoly and everything that is wrong with having too much money and power then amazon c.e.o. jeff bezos well apparently he has seen the error of his ways and decided to change basis is officially stepping down as amazon c.e.o.
5:11 am
so focuses attention on nobler causes like philanthropy spaceflight journalism and given his track record these ventures are bound to be a huge success i mean the guy is full of life and optimism a firm a work meaningful and fun i get to work with the smartest most talented most ingenious teammates when times have been good you've been humble when times have been tough you've been strong and supportive and we've made each of the left. it is a joy to work on this team and look how happy amazon workers are. will you. be the 4th or paul's problem with his words that they haven't released or did he tell you that's it's too late but you trust the virus is not enough to give you. a relief for this about protections as well pete wasn't providing back yeah
5:12 am
ok maybe not all amazon workers but c'mon it's understandable why a basis is stepping down i mean just imagine how tired he must be from all these workers strikes protests congressional grillings and throughout the years there's been a lot of very ungrateful amazon workers give us p p e stop treating us like robots give us bathroom breaks shut up and work right either way basis should be stepping away from all this negativity it's bad for business and morale and i'm sure his dedication to philanthropy another virtuous ventures will produce a much better monopoly next time. well among other things jeff bezos says he wants to focus on his blue origin aerospace company well the u.s. space program used to be strictly in the hands of the government it's now basically
5:13 am
being outsourced to bears also and long musk space x. with musk so i is firmly set on getting a bigger piece of the pie but he still has some way to go after space x.'s starship prototype crashed in a ball of flames after its latest test flight in texas. the vehicle vertical then transition to one engine trouble and. there's the 2nd time in as many attempts of the rocket has failed to turn down r.c. americas rick sanchez and john hardy discuss the space race between the 2 tech giants. i think this is where we have to start because i read a lot about this yesterday after we watched this crash and what is in a lot of mosques beef with the u.s.
5:14 am
government 1st of all i love that graphic i mean i could watch it all day and it was about me. and by the way the space launch commentator said we need to work on that landing afterwards and anyway on the side so to answer your question basically just kind of you know boil it all down space x. has asked the f.c.c. the federal communications commission to allow the company space x. to basically lower the orbit of its star link satellite so space x. has been sending we've reported about all these satellites into orbit as part of its newly broadband you know world internet broadband service it's called the starling constellation so space x. wants to lower the orbit of those satellites but then amazon objected no that's kind of interfere with our satellites as praga as part of project kiper and the $3000.00 plus satellites that amazon is going to send in orbit you also yesterday
5:15 am
the f.c.c. the u.s. government is keeping us from getting to mars he said yeah he also tweeted so when amazon raised this objection he said he fired off a tweet he said this does not serve the public to hamstring starling today for an amazon satellite system that is that best several years away from operation so it's a battle of the billionaires over their claim to space basically a right to orbit and meanwhile we're looking at pictures like this i understand. he's got to get a rocket up in space with 2 astronauts by the end of this year so it's not only you know that must battling and you know over control of orbit for their satellites but also it's a space race to send not only astronauts as part of the public private partnership . that space x. is involved in with nasa but sending civilians can you imagine that i would like to go up well you know i'm going to say yes but they've already said and keep in mind
5:16 am
they have already sent the dragon rocket remember with the 2 astronauts the nasa astronaut last year that we reported about so they're already working in that partnership the origin you know bay's osis blue origin wants to develop a partnership and work with nasa as well as part of this again public private cooperation you know in the space race so this is i mean you could say in a little i guess it's kind of foreshadowing of the space race to come between billionaires battling and jostling for position in orbit. still to come the face of western australia finds itself between a rock and a hard place as wildfires threaten paper and look down at coming up after the break .
5:17 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one from day shouldn't let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only loosely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. your time says the wall street of one of the last bastions of power to be overrun by the populist movement because of the high barriers to entry yes and that's right those barriers to entry have been eliminated because of free online trading because of all the stimulus tax that made a lot of people lots of free cash to have available to do something like this. apparently $65000000000.00 in the war cost of the biggest health plan in the world which is credit and wall street so they've got a lot. of energy and expertise to go after targets out there that they perceived to
5:18 am
have stolen their money in 2008. welcome back with media outlets on social networks increasingly being scrutinized over their content and a study has challenge conservative claims that big tech companies intentionally censored the viewpoints well such as the new york university have found that liberal and conservatives have been treated similarly by social media platforms as much as they condemn suppose social media favoritism conservatives appear to relish wielding the bias claim even though it's based on distortions and full. now big tech companies have clamped down on conservative figures before most notably donald trump forcing many to choose paul instead a controversial conservative platform has been shut down there are claims it used
5:19 am
to incite violence and there's also been a backlash against facebook with the social network giant accused of censoring movements like the anti democratic walkaway campaign last year i mean one liberal cable news ratings in the u.s. have also been tanking since joe biden took office as networks struggle to adjust to a new and more reserved white house journalist duns commentator charged with more ses liberal media outlets are facing an identity crisis. president job was amazing ratings i mean they loved him and they made billions on president shop and the day you now see it running i mean he they could not look away from him and he and they had to keep up all of their ridiculous conspiracy theories they had to keep their mongering about the man they had people see every possible lie they could you know here's a 2nd coming of hitler or you know whatever the hell they are saying and so the ratings are tanking because joe biden is boring and nobody cares anymore what's
5:20 am
going to happen is obviously these corrupt nasty mainstream news outlets are going to have to come up with something else nobody cares like rotavirus anymore so they're going to need to go after joe biden which they happily will they probably all want present qualifiers anyway so they could start you again we've seen this also we've seen the mainstream media actually starting to. talk about hunter bides laptop you see them sort of lies as if this is new news story we see them being played the little seeds about president biden another thing you know they could get a war they would love to have a war that would be good for ratings the thing is they've got to have we're going to have a bigger out something and they're going to in order to save themselves because they don't have their gold mine donald trump anymore. play the vaccine to montage supply us president joe biden has his what cuts dealing with the pandemic see america that found fronsac looks at how well biden is living up to his campaign
5:21 am
promises. these cars aren't driving into the texas motor speedway for the next nascar race rather it's to get a covert 19 vaccine a goal give roughly 10000 vaccines per day if you want lots of people vaccinated you make it 1st person 1st come 1st serve if you want to reach the people who need it most need to be more targeted and to reach out to different communities and that's the problem state by state there's a different agenda but no matter the agenda there's still not enough currently the demand for vaccines is enormously higher than this supply and while that supply will get better it's probably not going to get much better for another month or 2 or more the clock is ticking with the c.d.c. projecting almost 550000 deaths by the end of february and more variants of covert 19 if people don't get vaccinated we're trying to calculate the numbers but
5:22 am
probably somewhere in the $5.00 to $10000.00 range that will be going directly to pharmacies in colorado 50 pharmacies in colorado as among the many states that will start feb 11th giving out covert vaccines at local pharmacies the biden administration saying the program will ship directly to them but health experts don't think the vaccines will get there for weeks countries like mexico see the problems in the u.s. and have turned to russia for its sputnik v. vaccine along with other countries in europe while the us is still far behind countries like israel china and even bahrain denmark is already in the next phase joining with businesses to create a digital passport to show you've been vaccinated and our city that one of the most central elements in dealing with this crisis is to bring the infection down but also to create mobility place within society and also traveling in and out of the country and. the u.s. is on the brink of a nuclear war with russia and china that's the stock warning from full stop mole

charles richard america's strategic come on. the u.s. military must shift its principal assumption from nuclear employments is not possible to nuclear employment is a very real possibility and act to meet and deter that reality from the u.n. weapons inspectors called rice had believed the apples warnings i dangerous know if the united states dare uses nuclear weapons against russian forces or on russian soil the russians will have no choice but to respond this is what makes the admiral's statements about preparing for nuclear war so dangerous because there is no way of containing it if there is a nuclear war between the united states and russia it will be a general nuclear war which means not only will both nations be annihilated but the world will also be destroyed as we currently know it the united states identified russia and china as clear adversaries requiring the buildup of conventional
5:24 am
military power to adequately contain the threat they pose both in europe in terms of the russians and in the pacific in terms of the chinese as things currently stand the united states does not have the conventional military force necessary to successfully engage with the guarantee of conventional victory either russia or china which means that should there be a conflict nuclear weapons would probably have to be employed on the part of the united states it will take some time but you know we have ventured to get through the cold war and i'm hopeful we will eventually get through this. plan laws and military leaders have blocks access to facebook in a country for the sake of stability in that way it's protests in the southeast asian nation have been taking place since the coup on monday. oh ok despite a curfew people have been taking to the streets banging on pots and pans in protest
