only existence was only exist. in. the headlines this russian scientists developed the world's 1st test for the deadly strain of the coronavirus many countries to close their borders we hear from the head of the russian about. while developing the new testing system we kept in mind that if we need to detect other strains we could do it in a short period of time concern grows over the economic impacts facing germany with great traffic backing up its borders that is to criticize his burdens methods to contain the spread of it and stuck in a hotel room for 10 days that is the new reality facing people returning to the u.k. from covert hotspots as new quarantine rules come into force and also it's a huge pain in u. turn in minneapolis after a push through from the police the system gives the unfortunate billions of dollars

to tackle a spike in violent crime. by the good evening at 7 o'clock here in moscow you watching our international russian scientists have developed the world's 1st test for the new corona virus strain it was 1st detected in britain a deadly a very intense lead to many countries closing their borders with more his. what this particular mutation more commonly known as the british strain has caused some alarm all over the world essentially one thing to understand about it while not more aggressive as any other strain of the virus for the hosts body it is much more contagious and therefore it poses an increased risk of hospitalization and death and that's why a russian scientists decided to single out this particular strain 1st. well

developed in the new test in system we used the same approach as we did for the main test it is the same express method where you need about an hour to receive test results which is much faster than the classic p.c. our testing we don't try to replace our main test it is not a method for mass diagnostics it's a tool for e.p.d. milage ical surveillance to control the spread of new strains however well developed in the new testing system we kept in mind that if we need to detect other strains we could do it in a short period of time. well one thing to understand about covert 19 is that it's a virus that well it mutates very easily adapting to different environments and so on that's why it is potentially very concerning because what if it develops and evolves into a version that kills people quicker so that's why europe is still on lockdown at least of some degree some countries of closed outside of the e.u. travel's some countries closed borders even with some of its e.u.

neighbors and the move the virus exists and by the way there are no signs that it is going anywhere the movie versions of itself will create but the russians are saying that this that with this new technology they will be able to quickly identify and single out whatever new strain comes up. our justice system aims to detect a mutation in a protein that was 1st found in this strain in britain but later it was also found in south africa and brazil and strains as well. initially we planned to use the test for surveillance now i do not exclude the possibility that a test can be used for differential diagnosis after grown a virus has been diagnosed in order to understand what kind of virus that person is infected with so the more scientists know about covert 19 the more information doctors have so they will be able to potentially at least tailor their treatment in accordance as to which strain a patient has and world make it more personal make it more individual and hopefully

prevent more deaths. that traffic crossing between germany the czech republic as well as parts of austria has ground to a hold that's after burlington shut its borders fearing the spread of the highly contagious u.k. variant of the corona virus our europe correspondent peter all of it takes a closer look now at the repercussions of the move. huge traffic jams tailing back from germany's borders with both the czech republic and austria this is after berlijn introduced border checks on sunday evening following outbreaks of mutant coronavirus trains in both the czech republic and in parts of austria in the tirol region in particular they put in place these blocks it seen the huge traffic jams isn't the only areas that could be happening as well stephens i bear to angola merkel spokes person the german government spokes person has said that they

government it currently reviewing doing the same thing at the borders with france due to outbreaks in that country as well no movement on that decision just yet to close the borders between germany and france it has happened between austria the czech republic and germany and so far the interior ministry here in berlin have acknowledged that situation is far from ideal. of course that our traffic jams and waits in times have increased at the borders at least that's what it was like when the federal police checked about 10000 people and turned away about 5000 on the arrival. well these traffic jams aren't just in convience they pose real problems for the german economy take the car industry for example that operate on just in time deliveries of supplies in order to work on the construction of automobiles just the shortest amount of delay well that can have

a potentially huge knock on effect many parts for automobile production german locations to deliver just in time or just in sequence directly to the assembly line from austria and the czech republic if the testing and controls of the border result in long traffic jams many car plants in germany will have a breakdown of their supply chains and the subsequent production standstill on their hands the 1st assembly lines will come to a stop within a few hours in the absence of material supplies there's also diplomatic fallout from these border controls both vienna and brussels aren't happy with berlin that they've been put in place there's been some particularly spicy language coming out of parts of austria germany though says it stands by the decision to put these checks in place for weeks but various minister president marcos sorta hasn't missed a single opportunity to take a pot shot at the role these constant push your roots of remarks are disgraceful

and don't befits a minister president that's not the way to treat neighbors the truth is that the virus cannot be stopped by close borders i think it's wrong to return to europe with close boris' like we had in march 2020 we're battling the mutated virus on the borders with the czech republican or strip the e.u. commission should support us and not throw a spanner in the works with their cheap suggestions it seems relentless for germany at the moment not only dealing with the diplomatic fallout that comes from putting in place these checks they're also dealing with an outbreak of the virus in the west of the country as well as an ice cream factory in oslo but a quick 210. out of $600.00 workers there have tested positive for covert 19 at least 2 of those it's been confirmed have tested positive for that mutated british variant of the corona virus so a lot going on a lot of stress is placed on the east those borders and in the west with the new outbreak as well peter all of that there will in any pay for the alternative for

germany party toas the brussels approach has failed to tackle the pandemic effectively the european union showed that it is incapable to react to. an forseeable situation it begin last began last year or when member states started to act requests to union was unable for a proper reaction and then member states tried to give money and more competences to do european union because they wanted to stabilize the union to show to citizens hey the union is able to do it but the more money and more power we transferred from the national capitals to brussels. the bigger where the mistakes made in brussels the biggest mistake you have seen is that the member states gave their power to organized over keane's to brussels and to the european commission and the result is now that we have. a disaster

in almost all developed countries more people. work seen and then in europe and germany is on the level of a developing country in terms of percentage of people who already got a white god lexan ated and. you see it from the early and 2020 until now the european union is unable to handle death pandemic it is just able to spend money for nothing. meanwhile in the u.k. any quarantine measures they're introduced on monday might make travelers think twice before going there anyone arriving from a red listed country including u.k. nationals will now have to fork out 1750 pounds that's more than $2400.00 to quarantine for 10 days in a specially designated hotel upon arrival passengers are escorted through the airport then taken by bus to their accommodation but london's heathrow airport has

expressed deep concerns about the policy we have been working hard with the government to try to ensure the successful implementation of the poll is supreme monday but some significant gaps remain ministers must ensure the risk adequate resources and the brute protocols in place for each step up before and. after the hotel to avoid compromising the safety of passengers and those working at the airport where the u.k. government has brought in tough penalties for anybody who flaps the rules it's introduced fines of up to $10000.00 pounds for those failing to quarantine and a maximum prison sentence of 10 years for people who lie about where they have come from all this is creating no additional challenges for the u.k. border folks. to what extent our border for is going to be checking to be sure people have been honest we're hearing a lot of concern from people who are concerned about encountering someone who has been in the red list country and hasn't declared it could deface abuse are they expected to detain them or porch elss the head of

a travel consultancy firm and he does believe that quarantining in hotels is a risky policy. i noticed the world health organization said the other day that some of these variants are on the way in which means maybe they are now being managed more effectively but before we get the data we don't know for certain what i do think is that hotel quarantine is still very high risk is a policy it prevents people coming into the country who might have to come in and that police often come in so it doesn't help the economy recover secondly it's high risk because as we've seen in australia or new zealand there are some who tells where the virus is being transmitted from one of the guests through to a security worker or catering work and working in a hotel is then taken it back and transmitted it within their own communities it would be much better for effective testing to be done at the borders on arrival and then anyone these positive is taken in school to their own home where they could

quarantine in their own their own in their own hoon self isolate that and if that was in force properly i think that would be far more effective than hotel quarantine. to jumpstart its economy denmark is considering plans to roll out a cave with 19 vaccination passports while the practicalities the still under consideration there are fears there it means vaccinations will become compulsory in the country one of our instagram bloggers has pondered the questions many are asking about and known for his have he presents the moral dilemma. was pretty hard to get. well i read that a is going to introduce a vaccine passport for the cause of aids and that other countries might be saying. well it's not effectively making the vaccine compulsory tool to those who want to leave your country who want to turn off most things i would have thought.

of never being like to go by economic here but i like to travel so you think. not sung songs no no i don't. want to ski. different countries through to do because my. yes. 3. x. nations to visit certain countries but not to leave their own country through to use every trick because this place would fix one target which vaccine would you even name. which ones that. depends on where you live where he's not just travel you know some companies talking about making vaccines compulsory for their employees. i will go most people will and that's a good thing but some people don't want. that introduction to those who think that the mother. who has their truth is right to not just nod to the risk of victory

learned. the truth about their lives. 3 ships are fair enough but not all of them are like that. well yes some paper skeptical for understandable reasons but but that's not the poing who all well it doesn't matter what their reasoning is they should have a choice if we go down the path of making medical procedures effectively compulsory where does that lead us or for you want to. it's quite possible here in moscow now after the controversial death of george floyd at the hands of police minneapolis last year the city decided to defund law enforcement however since then crime has surged and cancelled chiefs have been forced into a major you to think now voted to spend a whopping $6000000.00 in the bid to breathe again law and order recent data to suggest that the number of gunshot victims is up 250 percent compared to the same

period last year at the same time rape cases have increased 22 percent robbery by almost 60 percent the city currently has around $200.00 fewer officers than usual that's after many left the force or went only following the death of george floyd in may last year. i. i thank god i got to prove that we got the call and. i was watching we are watching. this is what you do when you don't hold other cops accountable when you let them

kill other people when you work. with you don't hold your partner accountable this is this. following those protests the president of the minneapolis city council announced plans to replace the police with what she called a transformative new model of public safety and she wasn't the only one either calling for such radical changes. i will never call sign off on funding a police department that continues to brutalize out and i will never ever stop saying not only do we need to invest burned police well we need to completely dismantle the minneapolis police department and. remember they voted a few months ago to take $8000000.00 away from the police department which they did and what happened there there are some businesses in the city of minneapolis who are getting hit by the same person who end 3 times in

a week and now for the city council to say well we're going to spend money to hire new police officers so you know you almost have to laugh at it it's ridiculous what's going to happen is you are going to see a shortage of police officers in larger urban centers like minneapolis new york chicago los angeles most if not all of these cities are run by the democrats and the democrats tend to not support their police officers you can't support your criminals and consider them victims and not support your police and not expect crime to rise and in all of those cities i mentioned most of them have skyrocketing homicide rates skyrocketing violent crime rates you vill of fire police officers you better make friends with criminals because that's all you're

going to have left. and will stay with us because unprecedented unprecedented snow stillness claimed at least 4 lives in the state of texas raising temperatures that will sort of lead to a massive power that left more than 4000000 households without electricity the blizzard has seen flights being canceled in texas samples to you while thousands of most herself stuck in traffic jam. on highways in recent days temperatures there have dropped to minus 18 degrees celsius the coldest in over 30 years on sunday president biden declared a state of emergency there the snowstorms also intensified debate over renewable energies many wind turbines are frozen still and solar panels are covered with ice . ok let's return to kobe because more countries around the world are turning to russia sputnik vaccine to tackle the pandemic serbia is currently in talks with russia about producing the jap while montenegro has also given it the

green light. in south america venezuela received its 1st 100000 doses of the backseat on saturday and back in moscow chad's ambassador to russia also gave the shot is not of approval. i wish you all jody and citizeness today and that this this gate and getting this opportunity my country actually was the vaccination of the of the people. who work through the african union making which have the same goal the civil commission which is the responsibility of 2 big decisions regarding that is one thing to do this to me. i'm sure personally. this is good to see and i wish. to see a more fortunately getting out of this gate. now

a new report by an american think tank has cast doubt on the effectiveness of the u.s. air forces role in the fight against isis survey found that military aviation that failed to significantly speed up the defeat of the so-called caliphate. with more. you might remember not too long ago a howl will not claiming a historic victory that reddish isis when i took it over was a mess now on the bottom that's exactly and there is no red the ice is caliphate. has been decimated we have one good study says while washington so successfully defeated islamic state the reportedly it's now in the process of setting up a new military base to counter islamic state which is on the rise again so if indeed a us car business returning to a little triangle between iraq syria and turkey it seems a good moment to ask how effective really was the west against the terror threat us

trump or the pentagon full marks but read a recent report by the think time grant corp which did a deep dive into us out against islamic state between 20142019 while does lente have room for improvement a little more aggressive operations might just slightly accelerated the defeat of isis they were unlikely to have significantly altered the timeline the deep fighting operation inherent resolve affected ices finances but it could not affect us is his main center of gravity territory meaning the strategic attack did not play a decisive role in this operation was the probably made american taxpayers who saw 20 of the billions go towards operation inherent resolve in 20019 alone think is it really worth doing it all over again to be for the report does point to

successful moments in washington's fight in iraq and syria but what stands out is that despite being much better funded than other operations in the middle east including the war in afghanistan that was a slew of errors including outdated techniques slow action uncoordinated intelligence gathering and who most unbelievably being out of practice after decades of flying primarily overboard mission since september the 11th the joint community's ability. capacity to plan and develop a deliberate strike operation in the deep areas actually feed this meant that many practitioners lacks experience in applying these processes to real world operations and the muscle memory to rapidly execute them and the conclusion the report comes tonight the matches that last seen victorious tone of the pentagon nor does it exactly fill you with hope for any future campaigns deep strike operations help

stress isis's finances and haste in its demise but what ultimately peripheral to the overall strategy ignoring this issue would be deeply problematic in the fight against a more capable adverse saree or in a more concise to their environment washington war hawks have historically preferred to repeat the mistakes over and over again so whether they break with tradition this time and take up the report's recommendations is unclear what is horrifyingly clear though is that villages were bombed into oblivion thousands of civilian lives were lost along with all those taxpayers billions and it still wasn't enough something that becomes all the more horrifying when it looks like round 2 is on the cards we heard from the author and retired u.s. air force officer karen if you had to call the ski she just question the motives behind the u.s. presence in syria. i think that the u.s.

would spend if they want anything they're going to. spend at least as much as they have spent in the past bigger issues seem to be ignored when the united states makes decisions about where they want to put their military hard with the united states military is proving is that we should spend more money on our defense of an offensive capabilities in many ways we use these. wars not its wars but as exercises or we can demonstrate technologies improve our coronations skills are our combat intelligence or using them kind of his own testing ground almost a playground which of course is extremely. immoral. independence parties have increased their majority in catalonia regional parliament taking more than half the votes for the very 1st time the leader of the republican left party says it's a new chapter for the region. i don't want to mess up catalonia made history today

independence movement is more than 50 percent of the vote this means that this country starts a new chapter we have an enormous force stood shuv the still unsolved determination to achieve the freedom of the political prisoners and the return of the self exult we have a huge force stood schieber a friend them to achieve the catalan republic however despite those results a recent survey does suggest that only 44 percent of catholics are actually in favor of independence while 47 percent are against spain's or its worst political crisis in decades following a failed independence bed back in 2017 by the then president carter's pujol earlier we heard from our she's a spokes person for the international commission of european cities at this time we not only get again an absolute majority of seats in the catalan parliament but also with her parents the press corps for 50 percent plus one votes so we are running

really of. 4 ways of democratic ways to show ourselves and the world we are completely the target and to be at the time in the state so we've seen always in history and in the recently history and the spanish the spanish violence against in dublin and i will write a solution and asked people to be an independent state we are comparable legitimity to defend our stance. in whatever manner the spanish state decides to confront us just kind of half 7 here in moscow good to have a company tonight thanks for watching we'll be back mornings in about half an. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going

to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and talk. in the 1920 s. and thirty's several 100 african-americans moved to the soviet union and many of their descendants still live in russia. being at the risk of no no rush. yes it. took on things on their way. back home like american suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. in the real. one by elsa store. so they decided to leave everything behind and start a new life in a country about which they knew almost nothing at all some of the. earlier through

during the night. around the crowd. to move a few you're going to call you. know almost a 100 years later the history is repeating itself my great grandfather george time went to russia. probable worst time to go anywhere why not me. why don't i come here. imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century. gun violence school shootings. first it was my job and it was my fear bill it was my savings i have nothing i have nothing to lose now i don't authorize aloof or resources i look for jobs i look for everything i can to make this pass. a law in the doing is

. the road to the american dream paved with good refused it's this very idealized image of our america needs americans look hostile the deaths that happen every single day this is a modern history of the usa america monarchy. i'm max kaiser this is the kaiser report well. as christine legarde might call it funny money let's get into it stacy right worst mom money because more money is being handed out and in the 2nd half we talk to dominic frisby about his new edition of the american version of daylight robbery that the his see the money printer go back

to it's the same story that's been going on since ancient mesopotamia of of men with guns as paul krugman calls them like to come around and collect some of your money or try to redistribute it around as favors to some groups of people over other groups of people well biden just said every american as much money as jeff bezos has we should demand it worst my money joe that's what i had tweeted because you know they're getting ready for another $1.00 trillion dollars to send out and they're trying to allocate who gets at this time and of course the last go around we saw basically the oligarchs plunder most of it ordinary people did receive quite a bit but now there are handing us more money you know the problem. is the money itself that's the problem so therefore the solution to any of the perceived problems can never be to hand out more of the foundation.
