our teacher national bring your live news update from our studio here in moscow to the program. russia now has a hat trick of vaccines to tackle the coronavirus it comes after the approval of kobe back which was created by moscow scientific center it's about believe it will also offer protection against new coronavirus variants our correspondent paula quarter has all the latest. well called me back is the 3rd vaccine to be registered for distribution here in russia making the country the 1st to reach that benchmark it was developed by moscow to mock of center for immuno biological research and it can be stored between 2 to 8 degrees celsius that makes the vaccine easier to store than others like the pfizer variant for example that needs to be stored at a colder temperature to prevent spoilage now coming back is also currently at the end of phase 2 testing and russia's prime minister is understandably looking to

roll it out to the public soon. much it's i want to start with some very good news a 3rd vaccine has been budgeted today was developed by the trauma called research center the 1st 120000 doses will already be available to the public by the middle of march today russia is the only country that already has 3 vaccines for the corona virus. actually it was developed in the field the new shot uses dead corona virus which was originally taken from a patient at the common arco hospital in moscow region one of the 1st hospitals that actually treated kovan patients here in russia the shock of such as general director said his team looked at around $400.00 different samples of the virus a common arca until they found the one suitable for cultivation for a vaccine as for the clinical trials stage 3 is set to begin in march while those that have already been conducted or quite successful we haven't had any reports of any serious reactions to the new vaccine but very pleased with the preliminary results are very encouraging after the 2nd phase will see how the vaccine affects

the immune system we found that 8587 percent of people develop onset bodies by day 28. and it's also important to note just how much experience the true mark of center has in vaccine production in the past it's created a whole line of vaccines for polio yellow fever tick borne diseases and rabies to name just a few and even exports tens of millions of doses of these vaccines to over $100.00 countries around the world that's in exchange for funding that goes into more research projects like involving vaccinations russia's vaccination campaign has been going on for awhile now how's it going well january saw the start of russia's max vet a mass vaccination program and over 2000000 people have already gotten the shots so far i mean that's not too many considering russia's population of nearly 150000000 people but the tempo is definitely picking up russia's prime minister says that 4000 new vaccination points have opened around the country and over 10000000 new

doses are currently in production and the good thing is that almost half of those numbers of vaccinated people are actually people over 60 years old we're talking about one of the high risk demographics back is russia's 3rd vaccine sputnik v an epi vaca rhona are already available in russia so now the goal is just mainly to get the public on board with the idea of getting this shot in the 1st place. president joe biden's america is back montero has received a mixed reception at the online munich security conference but not everyone convinced by washington's return to a lead role on the world stage there's artie's peer elephant with more. the munich security conference 2021 pretty much turned into biden fest 2021 to sum it up very says singley it was america is back china and russia can get stuffed and europe get behind us we're leading or leading with diplomacy said at that time we will be back and i'm

a man of my word america's back i speak today as president of the united states at the very start of my administration and i'm sending a clear message to the world america is back one of the voices though that strayed a little from the joe biden love then was not of a manual on he saying that perhaps europe should take a bit more of its own border security in its own hands and not rely so heavily on the united states i listened very carefully to the 2 prison biden and the common challenges i think it is time for us to take much more of the burden of our own protection when we speak about security at our borders it is normal and sometimes us could decide to be less involved if we are too much dependent on the us with a need to. we can put ourselves into a situation to be no more politic to the other our borders on russia joe biden said that president putin wanted to break up the european union in lines that we have

heard before from previous administrations putin seeks to weaken european the european project and on and on he wants to undermine the translated unity and our resolve straight out of the the old playbook. from the u.s. presidents going on this one china he said that there was competition with china that was going to be stiff but it was something that he's administration cherished the idea of taking part in he also said that there needed to be rules for all particularly when it came to what he sees as the chinese government's interference in business there. what we heard from the u.s. president was that phrase again and again and again america is back it certainly seems to be the mantra of his administration he just simply a myth it's an endless stream of cliches why can't we all work together let's work

together when we work together to get accomplish anything and he accompanied this with a with a great deal a very hostile rhetoric against against russia china and iran this talk was detached from reality cliched and there are only unconvincing i think u.s. dominance and they're slowly diminished and i think the transatlantic alliance is there actually diminished by thanks to brag that but the u.s. is much weaker than our than it was preached from trouble definitely lowered america's profile in the in the world that leaves the e.u. with little choice but to strike out on its own and conduct independent negotiations because of the china russia and around europe has got that the. for. the munich security conference came hot on the heels of a nato defense ministers meeting where they announced thousands more boots on the

ground in iraq bring you more on that later in the program. spain has suffered a 4th night of riots over the jailing of a couple and rapper public was arrested for quote slandering the crown and glorifying terrorism protesters have rallied across the country to oppose his detention granting it a violation of his right to free speech on 80 people have been arrested since the demonstrations started the unrest turned ugly at the country's prime minister denounced the violence as an attack on democracy barcelona based journalist of a communications reports from among the crowds in the catalan capital. so they're screaming still peace through these problems. already deferred day on the proctors even kept a long distance on not the main street to release problem how so who was imprisoned for not. screaming their aggression on the freedom of expression

and they are. these. so the protesters have just destroyed one of the main banks of qatar long. as you can see behind me. they are getting quite aggressive and they're all the time provoking the police they are damaging the shops as you can see behind me there are rubbish containers on fire by the protesters there mostly teenagers playing the music becoming aggressive that provoking c the police if it's guarded and it seems like it's going to last for another couple hours probably tomorrow also. u.k. companies are considering a much criticized no job no job policy that would make vaccination mandatory for employees but trade unions are threatening legal action and have asked the

government to intervene. we think the primary house the key can people say things and i say trade unions you know encouraging people to get that see what priority i'm working to get back to the same time we think given the so many people who have even a job that people should be. to mines for having had that we think you know we want to put things in place we can't see that summation is just like. solve the problem of how we need to make sure that it's part of a range of top. danis you know we're looking at each workplace about how best we can implement things some british firms have already warned they won't hire staff who refuse to have the job and other companies want existing employees to have vaccine passports the government such moves discriminatory but is leaving the final

decision up to businesses more than $16000000.00 doses have now been delivered in the u.k. but there is a lower uptake among ethnic minority workers in deprived communities and doesn't again tell us why some people still have questions. i think most trading up today it's a very skeptical and i think this is what fuels people skepticism about you know whether they should get the vaccine or not so we think if it's possible to convince people of all the safety measures that need to be take care well that how we've had sort of in the sack the best way to convince people about the vaccine being safe is if it isn't in the hands of the national drug companies but it's in public ownership only democratic control of audrey trade not to be working class people that you know that would reassure people rather than being in the hands of. you know donors to the government. and when it comes across a virus in the u.k.

those in london who miss going down to their local pub for a drink in the lockdown maybe and luck as one former bar manager has given a whole new meaning to the phrase a quick point basically started with maybe off and i got to live it all for pite and i thought i really want to make what hospitality is about to people's doors i don't want to receive a flat warm clingfilm pipe so i pull out i get a fresh bite to them so i came up with the idea pop to do basically a wife on appears and you're like what is this a new up in the park and you get your real tub and type ask deal with beautiful bear on top george and his business partner thin obtain the necessary licenses and refitted that pub on wheels now delivers pints of beer glasses a percent and cocktails to those in lockdown all through social media remaining instagram and just my friends from the hunks of the missing the pattern we thought we needed something like this to come in. strictly a delivery scheme and not take away the business requires customers to prepay for

alcohol and the minimum order is 20 pounds the scheme is a growing success here in south east london but are you willing to pay 6 pounds for a pint at home. oh it's absolutely fine to me if you think about the amount of money that we've saved through not commuting in through not being at work about money though i would've spent daily just buying lunch from tesco on the takeaway do to be able to save but often spend it on something i really enjoy like having a noise pond with my mates makes a difference the industry has been hard hits during the pandemic of the 40000 pubs are currently closed across the u.k. while 60 percent say they won't be able to reopen if the government seeks to outdoor service only late in the year and for many this might be the closest to a pub they might get for a while it's a bit like the pub why would you go buy a steak for $24.00 when you get one for 3 pounds from aldi the idea is is that we bring a coach or 2 we create this fence a wall we bring everyone down from the bedrooms into the kitchen to have

a pint together so like a family going out to the pub the pipe is well it just tastes so delicious when it's on top as well but the prime minister announcing his roadmap to reopening on monday there might be clarity on when pubs themselves will be back in business but to put some worried that the whole culture and community might be gone for good this venture seems to prove that the public spirit is still hits the spots she has wanted andrews u.k. london. still had electricity bills skyrocket for texans as the state deals with the aftermath and deadly winter storms it will not star and mark after the part of. the global solar markets approximately just under 2 trillion so certainly within a few months big oil will be vaulting over silver it's on its way in my believe in

2021 to get half way or so against the market capitalization of gold that is it would be 4 trillion on its way to 10 trillion and then you know once it gets past all there's only $10.00 left. so. there's any deficiency in the last 4 years it was the fact that we had this transformational president with with really grand aspirations that were broadly supported by the american people in the most populous present in this country's recent history were matched by the appointments that were made in the administration but i think maybe with his background in business he might have underestimated the importance of personnel but you know just having worked in the white house in the executive branch of government so much rests on personnel

. welcome back in moscow court has rejected an appeal by russian opposition figurehead unexplained of ali against his sentence for parole violations earlier this month the kremlin critic was sentenced to almost 3 years in jail reporting outside the court here is artist not gusta. while the the judge did reject their legs he devised these appeal to have the have the sentence dismissed it did shorten the length if he sentence from 2 years and 8 months to 2 years and 6 months but elective on these defense made 2 major arguments one of them was that. after his alleged poisoning alexina volley. was recovering he was at a hospital he couldn't possibly have contacted these parole offices.

made his whereabouts noon and the judge neither the judge nor the prosecutors brought this argument they pointed out that over the past several years he has more than 50 parole violations any one of which was enough to land him with a very real jail tub just to recap lexan of other than his brother were given sentences for their role and embezzling a company in russia out of millions of rubles hundreds and thousands of dollars. he's brother was given. a jail sentence 3 and a half years alexina van that was given a suspended sentence followed by years of parole 6 years and all of parole as we found out he had violated the terms of his parole more than 50 times and in this case. the judge and the prosecutor said look after you had been released from

hospital in germany. traveling across the country giving interviews taking part in sports and duty once in months did you contact the authorities your parole officer to make your whereabouts note the other argument that election of ollie's defense used was that the european court of human rights had cooled his sentence this is jailed. and has cooled phased immediate release how. russian law the russian constitution says that russian little domestic law and obligations trump international obligations just as they do in the united states or in china for example so the court does. circumstances and circumstances obligated to release an election of on that this was have the 1st of 2 court appearances by him today before he's said to serve out his jail sentence the 2nd appearance

a 2nd court session being about a libel case both a good selection of all the over his insults and allegations accusations against the world war 2 veteran him calling the veteran a sellout for example that caused a lot of resident amongst russians but even this election of on the was defied refusing to apologize. a deadly winter storm in the south of the us has killed at least 47 people and the most affected state texas millions are struggling to access clean water while thousands of households have been left without power president joe biden has approved a state of emergency in the area during the extreme freeze energy usage has soared and power bills for many texans have skyrocketed some residents have racked up electricity costs of up to 10000 dollars are to scale up and explains how the

recent disaster has laid bare infrastructure problems in the country once again. in texas a snow storm and extreme weather conditions are leading to an avalanche of problems in addition to the power going out the water pipes froze and then cracked open leaving millions without access to running water. not out here don't. hold those who still have water now being told it is not safe to drink or shower with this is starting to sound like 3rd world conditions and can't be happening in the usa right well actually it can u.s. infrastructure has been in decay for quite some time we've got some older houses some older apartment complexes that were built using p.v.c. 2030 years ago that is kind of a cold slap in the face if you want to call it that this is happening normally. you

would go out to a place like this is not a busted pipeline and they would get the water building run the fans you know to try and dry the place out but again in this case because they have so many calls they're not able to do that this did not start in texas in 2014 you had the flint water crisis when the city in michigan switched from the detroit water system to getting its water supply from the flint river but lead in the aging pipes soon leaked into the water supply causing serious problems for locals it took 5 years for the complaints to be listened to and the locals problems to be addressed inexplicable. and inexcusable families were notified things weren't shut down. that should happen anywhere president obama took a sip of flints filtered tap water assuring the people there that he cares i've got your back several months ago on the campaign trail we heard joe biden promise that nothing like the flint water crisis would ever happen again we're going to create

local jobs to rebuild roads to modernize river structures sure you could turn on the force a degree warmer comes out and when that happened in flint will never happen again anywhere in america now biden's only been in office for a few weeks however plenty of presidents in recent u.s. history have been promising to fix up the country's infrastructure only to preside over it getting worse i want to be 1st when it comes to infrastructure around the world because businesses are going to come where there is good infrastructure to move businesses to people move services highways bridges tunnels airports schools hospitals we're going to rebuild our infrastructure texas is suffering today flint suffered back in 2014 and many can recall how in 2012 manhattan's power station exploded during hurricane sandy causing all kinds of blackouts officials are scrambling to manage the situation in texas biden has declared a state of emergency but the underlying question is when will the promises be kept

up and r.t. new york. now we turn to some world news in brief police have fired water cannon and tear gas to disperse anti-government protesters in the capital demonstrators were demanding economic reforms the resignation of the president and the release of those detained in the rally the country has been rocked by protests for more than a year now. a german cities paid tribute to the victims of a deadly far right extremists on the one year anniversary of the attack he opened fire near she said bars and injuring 5 and killing 9 perception through the city of her now show pictures of those who died. and monsoon floods have forced more than a 1000 people across the indonesian capital to flee to shelters rescue operations are underway as flood water levels reach 1.8 meters. they don't have announced it's posting thousands more troops to iraq insisting that

will stop the country becoming a safe haven for terrorists the decision comes in the wake of a deadly rocket attack in northern iraq. today we decided to expand nato is training mission in iraq to support the iraq of forces us to fight terrorism and ensure that our assistance not return this size so our mission will increase from 500 personnel to wrong $4000.00 and turn your duties for now include more iraq to security situations areas beyond boggled. former u.s. marine corps intelligence officer scott ritter told us who he thinks stands behind us ramp up in the middle east when you're beyond baghdad out in the boonies in remote facilities training iraqi security forces that are in constant contact with with with isis or other extremist enemies there will be losses in nato is not

configured to do this at the bare politically to do this so then the question is who will provide the combat backup and that of course is the united states and once united states employs combat force in support of nato the 2 missions become intertwined and then nato which has made a big point of saying hey we're being invited by the iraqi government which is the opposite of that the situation currently exists regarding u.s. forces this is just a horrible situation that underscores 2 realities one that nato is not a politically mature organization capable of making independent decisions and has been pushed into this direction by the united states into the united states is in a dire situation where it can no longer unilaterally impose its will and it increasingly has to rely on partners and his nato to do the heavy lifting for the answer breakdown of stays top headlines for now but if you're looking for more you

can always had tar website r.t. dot com. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy

confrontation let it be an arms race in spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century what are the chapters called gun violence school shootings. first it was my job it was my fear bill it was my savings i have nothing i have nothing in. aloof or resources i look for jobs i look for everything i can to make this house. in the doing. the road to the american dream paved with good refugees it's this very idealized image all. americans look past the deaths that happen every

single day this is a history of the usa america. i'm afshin rattansi we're going underground for another lockdown edition away from headlines in nato nations of the united arab emirates says are defamatory against its royal family the u.a.e. has become the 1st arab nation in history to send an interplanetary probe called hope to earth neighboring planet mars joining me now from dubai is the u.s. minister for advanced sciences and the chair of the country's space agency sarah. thanks sarah so it's very raw coming on the show as i say the headlines here all about prints. tea for dubai not about maus atoll tell me

about the hope mission the hope mission is of is our 1st plant or exploration mission from the emirates today the hope orbiter is around mars for us this is our very 1st science mission that's going to characterize the atmosphere of mars and it will become mars is very 1st weather satellite to better understand the dynamics that happens around an entire martian year for us it's been a remarkable 7 year journey now of working on designing insulting a very complex system with which we worked with the united states universities of colorado arizona state university receive california berkeley to transfer a lot of know how and experience towards our engineers so that we can get to the point today were able to develop complex into nearing systems yet one of the instruments scientists in colorado was quoted as saying the images coming from the the mission are breathtaking with a breathtaking view that was andrew jones saying the 1st images of as it approached

the planet yes that 1st image is breathtaking for me the image that was more wrecked it was not the one that was released that was the preprocessed image it's natural to process it just that are captured this is the 1st time that the instruments was used in orbit around mars and for it's to have that remarkable image and also for us to observe from that image the cloud systems that we were then and we are going to study in the differences that actually is there in that snapshot covering that area of mars at the scale and at the distance that we've captured it we've never seen that before i know you're collaborating with these different universities no direct collaboration though with the perseverance mission or china's channel and one mission even though everyone sees.
