as for the next 30 years the big still live with the consequences to. the 1st country to approve. green lights. and. companies look to bring in. the so many. people should be. happy as a nation. struggles to recover from a. winter storm. broadcasting

live from moscow international my name's you know 30 minutes of news and views start. up trick of vaccines to tackle the coronavirus. to be approved it was created by moscow's cough scientific center the job developer say it will also offer protection against new coronavirus variants by colleagues. talk through the news. 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. 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 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 over 2000000 people have already gotten the shot 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 you know ever more european nations are in talks to receive sputnik the supplies telly and business leaders told us the process could also improve e.u. ties. i believe sputnik we can improve the russia e.u. relationship in terms of the battery rollout the supply of alternative taps is limited and has fallen short of committing both european and global demand it's no secret that italy germany and france have already turned to the russian government but they have to buy the russian vaccine i'm sure vaccines should not be held hostage to jail politics. or.

to be rude give to russia gave to the world russia could have used it as political leverage but it did not in fact we see that russia has great opportunities for inoculation for foreigners living in russia as well i personally go to not and feel grateful we see that russia is open to the distribution of its vaccine abroad not only is open to its export just like pfizer and astra zeneca but it also provides the opportunity to manufacture sputnik the abroad it's not new concept of cooperation with other nations in terms of economy and health care i think you can subsequently lead to the improvement of relations between russia the e.u. and the world. u.k. companies are considering a much criticized no job no job policy that would make vaccination mandatory for employees in response trade unions are threatening legal action and i've asked the government to intervene. we think the primary house the key compete will say things

and i say trade unions you know encouraging people to get back to what priority for workers to get back same time we think given this so many people who haven't even a job that people should be victimized for having had a should we think you know we want to see you put things in place we can't see that situation is just like. a check box or not solve the problem of we need to make sure it's part of a range of top. danis you know we look in each workplace about how best we can implement things well 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 dubs such moves discriminatory but senior ministers in the same government have previously said the final decisions quote up

to businesses well let's take a quick look at how the facts nation process is currently developing in the u.k. more than $16000000.00 doses have not been delivered nation wide but there's been a lower uptick among people from ethnic minority groups including those in the work force from deprived areas in dalton again told us why some still have questions. i think most trade you not to be a very skeptical and i think this is what fuels people skepticism about you know whether they should get that or not so we think if it's possible to convince people of all the safety measures that need to be take a look back we've had some of the stock the best way to convince people about the vaccine being saved is if it isn't in the hands of the national drug companies it's in public ownership only democratic control of audrey trade you know to the working class people that you know that would reassure people rather than be in the hands.

of the government. deadly storms in the southern u.s. have killed at least 47 people in the worst affected state texas millions are struggling to access clean water while thousands of households have been left without power president joe biden has declared a major disaster in the area locking phones for some of those affected during the extreme freeze energy usage has soared power bills as well for many texans skyrocket some residents have racked up electricity costs of over 10000 dollars artie's kill up explains how the disaster has again laid bare infrastructure problems in the country. 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 it 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 it's 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 shouldn't happen anywhere president obama took a sip of flints filtered tap water assuring the people there that he cares i've got your bet 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 structure. sure you could turn on the faucet and clean water 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 employees structure to move businesses move 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 you know we have the richest country in the world we just sent. you know another space ship up to mars. we could tackle any problem that the government had the will to tackle the problem is they don't have the will to fix

civilian infrastructure they don't care about the 99 percent of people who depend on that infrastructure all the money's being siphoned off to the one percent who don't need roads pseudo you know they don't need a road say fly in their helicopters or private planes soon there they will have their flying cars. to the u.k. and those in london who've been missing going down the local ensuring locked on maybe a lock on for a bar monitor has given a whole new meaning to the phrase a quick punt. basically starving maybe on her own they got to live in an awful pine 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 pour how can i get a fresh bite to them so i came up with the idea of pop 2 door basically a white van appears and you're like what is this in europe 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 of percent and cocktails to those in lockdown all through social media really many instagram and just my friends 160 missing the person 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 if you think about the amount of money that we've saved through not commuting and through not being at work about money that i would've spent daily just buying lunch from tesco on the takeaway do to be able to save that up and spend it on something i really enjoy like having a nice pub 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 later 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 pound for molly the idea is is that we bring a coach or 2 we create this fence or wall we bring everyone down from their 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 but 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 ends still hits the spots she has wanted andrews it's u.k. london. still on the way you can't go anywhere these days without a mask and not may have on don years of progress against plastic waste so it's

a story in the depths of a of it for you in 90 seconds. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy

confrontation 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 critical time time to sit down and talk. is you'll be via reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. tyson nation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us

in the depths. or remain in the shallows. a look at a moscow courthouse rejected on appeal by russian opposition figure out alexina valmy against his sentence for parole violations earlier this month the kremlin critic was sentenced to just over 2 and a half years in jail reporting from outside the courts our senior correspondent maraca steve. while the the judge did reject their legs he devised these appeal to have the have the sentence dismissed it did shorten the length of the 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 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 3 sentences for their role and embezzling a company and washouts of millions of rubles hundreds and thousands of dollars. his 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 and 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 ali's defense used was that the european court of human rights had called his sentence this is jailed. and has called phased immediate release how. russian law the russian constitution says that russian law domestic law and obligations trump international obligations just as they do in the united states will. china for example so the

court does. circumstances under no circumstances obligated to release an election of on that this was. the 1st of 2 court appearances by him today before he's said to serve out his jail sentence the 2nd appearance 2nd called session being about a libel case brought against the legs in a volley over his insults and allegations accusations against the world war 2 veteran veteran a sellout for example that caused a lot of resident amongst russians but even there alexina on the was defiant refusing to apologize. for the mass use of disposable facemasks made from plastic is being blamed for a significantly worsening the litter problem this made environmentalist fear the

pandemic may have reversed all the gains made in recent years in the fight against plastic waste the scale of the waste is staggering in the u.k. for instance more than $100000000.00 masks are discarded each week enough to cover a football pitch hundreds of times over and it forms a significant part of the u.k.'s plastic litter $1500.00 tonnes a month while the breakdown of such plastic ticks centuries the global consumption of masks is just as alarming a recent study estimates $6000000000.00 are being produced daily to satisfy current demand environmentalist allison newton says the over alliance and masks poses many risks. e.b. in general is very much a concern for us but masks in particular because of the elasticated. and also because the threat to public health that they represent as well as the fact that they are single use plastic items so they're not going to do anything in the natural world other them present a hazard take over 400 years to break down into micro plastics so masks are

a particular concern for us and they're everywhere yet some hospitals are still complaining of the supply of mass is not meeting demand and that's the spike global production of face coverings increasing dramatically at the end of 2019 rising since then allison ogden utah again believes the short term benefit of marsh will lead to long term problems. i do think that we were making some real inroads into getting everyone to think about the consumption of single least plastic i think most people were trying to make an effort to reduce that consumption and then the pandemic came in gave us all something bigger to worry about and people really are are just desperately trying to protect themselves their families and their communities which we completely understand but unfortunately the short term solution of plastic p.-p. has really caused a much longer term problem we need

a new strategy because this is going to be part of our lives for quite some time we need to think again and we need to re visit our concerns about plastic and look at reusable masks and make sure whatever happens we don't litter our p.p. . let's start there world up to it in south america where a police have used water cannon tear gas to disperse anti-government protesters in the chilean capital demonstrators are demanding economic reforms the resignation of the president of the release of those detained in the rallies the country has been rocked by protests for more than a year and. a german city has paid tribute to the victims of an attack by a far right extremist one you're on your can fire near should bars killing 9 people pictures of those who lost their lives were held aloft during a procession through the city of. monsoon floods are forced more than

our main preoccupation is tell us the health of our children i've always wanted to live in nature in the countryside so that b.s. far away from networks and everything as possible. because you don't want to fuse this project because there was a lack of information about its impact on human health but also animal house says we're in a very rural area with many farmers around us. ok the man who knows more about bitcoin than most is back in moments and he's asking has the cyber currency taken over from gold as the go to inflation hedge marks on the kaiser report are on your screen and moment. 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 bill it was my savings i have nothing i have nothing that is now i don't authorize aloof or resources i look for jobs i look for everything i can to make this house. in oil and doing this. the road to the american dream paved with good refugees it's this very idealized image of. americans look past the deaths that happen every single day this is a modern history of the usa america monarchy. it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime but old wounds still haven't healed and you're going to thing going into the and there's.

about a meter bowl. on the bus at us as mean older than us and the same question which we know. of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption that only leaves the old feaster that alone are all born as a fellow mentor to this day mothers still search for grown children while adults look in hope for their birth parents. 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. again at the risk of quote nor no rush for us though up most of us who got chose for war took on things on their way. back home black and. reckon suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. of the real. one by elsa store on her by doing. 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 african americans who were to prove your new. found great crowd. moulay is going few you're going to call me and now almost a 100 years later the history is repeating itself my great grandfather george time went to russia. on probable worst time to go anywhere why not me. when i come here. join me every 1st day on the alex simon shore and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going for and let it be an arms race is on this very dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very high time to sit down and talk. max kaiser this is the kaiser report well we predicted was going to happen is happening we said this was going to happen years ago maybe even 10 years ago and now it's happening what am i talking about stacy that's a good question well you might have to go back and check 10 years of kaiser reports

because we have course did say this a long ago whereas over on the other financial media they were o.e. just apologists for the banks now the banks have come around to our way of seeing things and we warned you 1st morgan stanley cryptocurrency he's here to stay as serious asset class bit queen making progress to replace dollar so this is a pretty major bank saying that decline is actually on target to replace the dollar as we alone told you 1st none of the u.s. cable news ever told you this right he can see it developing every day in real time as the market cap of bitcoin now pushing a trillion dollars remember we 1st started recommending pickling to our audience when the market cap was under $2000000.00.
