While the owner of a small restaurant in canada was ordered to stay away from his eatery after being arrested for keeping it open during the supporters scuffle with police during the detention here in moscow. You watching r. T. International thanks for joining us. First this hour, the iranian president has accused israel of killing the countrys top scientist, son rouhani added that the assassination of the man dubbed the mastermind of Irans Nuclear program wont slow down the countrys achievements around, also branded the attack, an act of state terrorism, a local reporter gave us more details. Senior iranian scientist was killed on a highway near tehran. Theres not much detail about the number of people involved in the attack, or number of People Killed in the incident, and skirmish tag took place some 75 kilometers outside tehran in north east of tehran, near the resort city of stat. You know, apparently did it. Traffic was quite less than usual in comparison to the other days. The terrorists apparently caught into the vehicle of the scientists newsmedia say, dad, there was an explosion. And then there was a gunfire. Berridge of gunfire. Bits been the Security Officials and sasan tactic, which is killing on the roll is similar tactic those attacks that carried out almost a decade ago. There was serious of such assassinations on a rainy and scientists claim why have top iranian scientists, israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu had previously accused the slain scientists of being the driving force behind irans alleged Nuclear Weapons program, not easily patrol cars, but with my colleague nearly about relations between the 2 states. Well, were getting all indications that this was a well coordinated, complicated attack on the man that some western intelligence agencies have flagged. As the person behind irans alleged covert Nuclear Weapons program, to ranfurly denies running anything like it. So this situation is nowhere near something in which the killer just points a gun at the victim and then shoots and kills here it was much more complicated. Like i said, because explosives were used. There were even reports that this could have been a suicide attack. Then gunfire followed the explosion which left the vehicle with the scientists marked. So this explains why the Iranian Defense ministry called this a terrorist attack from the very beginning, but all of that couldnt kill the man. Immediately he was taken to hospital where he died. So once again, here, were talking about a prominent Iranian Nuclear scientists. He had a team of bodyguards trying to protect them, but that couldnt save his life though the world i think is waiting to see what to run is going to do. Has to be any clue as to what the reaction, the initial reaction from tehran, senior officials, what have they been saying about this . Who did this . And whats going to happen . While the Iranian Foreign minister is making it clear once again that iran purely treat this as an act of state terror, jawad zarif is pointing the finger at israel, and also he is demanding international attention. Terrorists murdered an imminent iranian scientists today. This cowardice with serious indications of this really rule show desperate warmongering of perpetrators. Iran calls on the International Community and especially you see and their shameful double standards and condemn this act of state terror. Well, so far there has been no response from israel and charlie at this point. We cannot make any conclusions about possible connections between this murder and also the rhetoric that we have been hearing from israeli officials on Irans Nuclear activities. But the fact is that 2 years ago and 28 taking the israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called up the name of the murdered scientist and accused him not only of being behind the alleged military element of Irans Nuclear Program Years ago. But also he accused them of continuing to covertly run the program up until present times. Remember the name focus of the . So heres this director writer and uses the generally is to announce the closure project. But then the special activities, you know, what the special activities will be carried out under the title of scientific know how developments and in fact, this is exactly what iran proceeded to do. It continued this work in a series of organizations over the years now, and we just put this in context. The story of the Iranian Nuclear program, at least in the past 2 decades, has resembled a game of nonstop ping pong. If i may put it this way, that is to run constantly repeating and trying to convince the International Community that its Nuclear Activities are purely of a peaceful nature. And then also the anti to ron international law, be led by israel, constantly repeating that iran is only trying to fool the world. And this from both iran and israel shared with his, their thoughts on what happened. Of course, this assassination is illegal and its an act of war when they see aspires, arrested in iran, or in a terrorist is arrested in iran, immediately western human rights organizations, governments, the media pundits, experts all say that theyre innocent as if they have some sort of insider information. Yet when these attacks are carried out, these attacks are carried out with the help of spies with the help of terrorists, and they gloat over it. And instead of condemning it, they go and you know, they try to make him look as if hes evil knows will lose spawn. So you cannot put the blame on israel. Everything is possible in the middle east and in prison, these bodies, and then to fade them. And if he is behind it, lets see if those people are really right though, i doubt it very much. Well, the american aircraft carrier, the u. S. S. Nimitz, is currently heading to the persian gulf, to protect troops withdrawing from iraq and afghanistan. Thats according to local media, citing military officials who deny its linked to the murder of the iranian scientist. New york correspondent, killer morgan looks now at the tense relations between america and iran, especially during the trump of ministration. Well, the trajectory of u. S. Iran relations over the past few years has been quite negative. Things have been moving in quite a bad direction between the 2 countries. Donald trump has presided over a situation where the usa and iran are moving further apart, and prominent iranians have been killed. Back in january, donald trump ordered a drone strike directed against qassam solomonic that resulted in qassam somani death on that caused outrage throughout the region. He was a leader of the Islamic Revolutionary guards. He ran military operations against isis ill, to protect christians in syria. And in iraq, and he was designated as a terrorist by the United States. Now, when he was killed, there were protests throughout the region. There was, there were protests in the arab world in pakistan, and yemen in turkey. There were also protests in response to that killing by donald trump. A huge amount of outrage. Many voices internationally spoke up and felt this was a very unnecessary escalation of tensions between the United States and iran. And we also recall that prior to that assassination, donald trump had withdrawn from the iran nuclear deal. He pulled out of the jay c. P. O. Away and he said it was the worst deal of the century. This is donald trump. I recruit from the lesson ministrations disastrous. If i didnt terminate that stupid, the deal was a disaster. The agreement that was, it was a disaster. Now, many were hoping that things may change with joe biden in the white house after all, joe biden was Vice President under barack obama, and it was the Obama Administration that negotiated the iran nuclear deal, which donald trump pulled out up, however, and then are many, are looking at whats happened since the signing of the Iran Nuclear Agreement in 2015 and seeing the United States pulling out of that agreement more sanctions being placed on iran, the killing of qassam solomonic. Now there is the incident, it was the killing of this nuclear scientist. And many are wondering if that is really possible, is there really hope for the United States and iran to sit down once again and make any progress . And in bettering the relationship between the 2 countries, it will certainly be difficult for biden and ministration. If indeed they intend to take these moves. Can stone from the how Milton Coalition to stop the war says it doesnt make much difference for the middle east who sits in the oval office the current atmosphere. Its clear that the trumpet ministration, which is a lame duck administration, they will prevent any progress towards peace in the middle east. However, we have to keep in mind that even under a biden administration, that they have the purpose that u. S. Foreign policy in the middle east. Its to regain hedging monye over the entire region, including iran, which it lost in the islamic revolution, which overthrow overthrew him up at dictator, the shah. And so they would, the game is dominance and whether its trump or biden, that they, that is the game. Last empire the use drugs watchdog says that a covert vaccine should get approval by years end. It also needs to get the nod from the European Union commission, but polls have found one spread skepticism about the job, across the continent, to the middle of the movement on the show that it was key splits. I think we in the mirror cause all of our time over successive weeks homes to go. Giants of war found the key word for covert or at least a vaccine. Now while countries fill their boots with orders, one question remains who will have the job . Well, you know, i would not go for the vaccine because they usually take years to create a vaccine. Yes, i think ill defer to get vaccinated if they see that the vaccine is good, i will get vaccinated. Yes. If the vaccine will not be made mandatory by the government, i dont want to be vaccinated, but i will not get myself vaccinated because i dont have trust in our government. I dont know if this vaccine is good or not. In france, a significant chunk of the population is a proxy wherry know much of that relates to a deep mistrust of the state. The Anti Vaccine Movement in france is a more recent development than the Anti Vaccine Movement in england. The Small Movement in france, which makes its noise online isnt stronger than anywhere else, but the difference in france is this almost pathological relationship with the state. The french people expect so much of our state and yet are so very critical of it. Hostility to these new covert vaccinations has taken hold. The tide of sunni continued when you feel you need to assume to shoot content in many protests from the pubic, watched by millions of people the documentary hold up has found the flames of anti buxus. It claims global capitalist elite is so we must hysteria over the virus by using fake statistics. And while many politicians slammed, it is fake news. All the politicians own celebrities promoting the film all while criticizing the french government for its Health Policies during the president make the discount huntsman surrounding the vaccine has led to some cooling for it to be mandatory that something president back or has ruled out, at least for now, all thats in the saxon nation must be transparent. I also want to be clear, so i do not make sex. A nation magistri. Other european leaders have made similar declarations all having to weigh the positives of mass vaccinations with the roys ing anti back sentiment. While unseen faxes have been labelled as right wing conspiracy theorists, others say that they are simply questioning the silence. In general, it takes a vote 20 years to develop a vaccine before just read you for the market. So these are legitimate concerns and, wave of mistrust regarding a colleague 19 of x. , a nation is to be expected, some of that mistrust a royces from problems with previous vaccines such as the one polio. In 1955, the cuts a vaccine was found to have caused 40000. 00 cases of polio, killing time. But modern medicine has come a long way since that would fatal mistakes learn from the gap seems to have become for many a boy i talked to in the fight against disease. I would leave that to an official to make that decision. Not a government that could be taking back, you know, its coming out of we have to really thank you seriously about that. Because there are tremendous push backs in many countries, germany, denmark, even england, and even the United States. Were not doing this and were tired of this. Obviously theres not going to be enough to actually for everyone to be vaccinated. But we should make sure that the most vulnerable, such as the elderly people work incredibly sick, like hypertension, diabetes, people with bad lung disease. People are morbidly obese or did millions of doses of the coverage tonight, vaccine in government. So relying on people to be lining up in the streets to have a job in the hope that life, as we knew it will return to normal. Yet with such high numbers of people saying they wont be in those queues on t. V. That says could end up leaving them on pins and needles. So what do you want . R. T. , paris with doctors and now taking extreme measures to try to make people aware of how dangerous the viruses and a physician in the state of missouri went viral. After posting this video staging a patients last moments before death from copd. This is what it looks like when you breathe 40 times a minute. Have an oxygen level thats given well below 80. I hope. But the last moments of your life dont look like this. Because this is what youll see at the end of your life. If we dont start Wearing Masks when were out in public, i promise you this is what your mother or your father or your children. When they can call the disease, will see you at the end of their life. The doctor, he saw another video, kenneth remy spoke to his about what he thinks is the best way to get people to take up the job. Theres a lack of information at times that people are unwilling to either seek out. And so i think that with a lack of information, i think there is an opportunity for Health Professionals and medical professionals to at least engage people in the public who perhaps have doubts about certain things. Im cautiously optimistic about the regular by which these current vaccines are being a value weight is no different than if this was a lapsed over a longer period of time. And so these vaccines have gone through significant phase one, phase 2, and now feast 3 of valuation. And i think that we should be in a position hopefully that these are going to be successful and will have minimal side effects educating. Certainly the populace to understand specifically the different aspects of these vaccines and how theyre going to be most helpful and which populations will be even more helpful. I think is important. I think education always is number one, National News coming away after this break. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have. Its crazy confrontation, let it be an arms, race, spearing dramatic developments, only move slowly and i dont see how that strategy will be successful, very critical to sit down and welcome back. Canadian Restaurant Owner who refused to close his toronto eatery during lockdown, has been ordered now, not to come within 200 metres of the place. And police came to rest of them scaly who, theyd previously warned supporters trying to stop the detention of losing you. 2 know, one of the person was detained for spitting at Police Officers on friday. The owner appeared in court by the duo on a number of charges, including unlawful gathering, violating indoor, dining rules and obstructing police. He has been released on bail campaigns been launched to support the Restaurant Owner. Supporters say that he stood up for the rights of the little guys, local organization that represents Small Business owners told r. T. That the current 28 day lockdown in canada could spell the end for many, many businesses in these regions have already lost 3 to 5 months of the year from government shutdowns, without immediate and fool assistance, many wont survive. And its not just in canada, businesses in the u. S. U. K. And across the world are risking fines by staying open during the pandemic. We spoke with another canadian restaurant who isnt convinced that the gowns offer the better. The problem is, the lockdown is already received here only for a few businesses. The problem is that there is no lockdown is unfair. You have Small Businesses that have been closed last spring and you have hundreds and hundreds of people going to walmart that stayed open because they sell food. One of the thing is that there is no Scientific Data that proves that its efficient to close a restaurant called it an affection, but its a political measure. It has been taken. And what we have here is that you have some businesses that are closed and some other businesses wide open for business, little are literally printing money out of it. And thats what causes jester like. Youve seen in toronto, the unfairness and the injustice is a big part of people getting far in despair. The apps so much less in front of them. So they hacked like, like the guy in the car up to did he decide to grow to learn . Because he had no water choice and nothing left of his by big pharma to clean up their image by supporting social justice causes of being undermined by their approach to the coby job. A new study claims that wealthy countries have secured nearly all vaccine orders for the coming year, leaving poor nations in the lurch. But hes done, hawkins has more. The Police Killing of george floyd reinvigorated the black lives matter. A movement that caused indignation on a global level with millions turning out across the u. S. And beyond. To say enough is enough. Major companies were quick to show solidarity. And big pharma led the way big pharma even harder. Lobbyist with great social justice credentials. I wanted to make sure that i was highlighting all the great work enduring organization, but also with our Member Companies chided diversity to try to address Health Care Disparities to try to improve patient accessed with at least 3 major coburg, 19 vaccines being rolled out in the coming weeks, access is the global buzz word. So heres the charts for pharma giants to go all in the fight against racial injustice, inequality, and discrimination all across the world. But so far, theres little evidence of that happening. Take the moderna vaccine, despite receiving nearly 2500000000. 00 in taxpayers money, the company intends to make a profit. The vast majority as much as 78 percent according to estimates of its 1000000000. 00 capacity, has already been sold to wealthy countries, such as the u. S. And canada, japan, and around europe. How about pfizer . Forget it. Its estimated over 80 percent of the vaccine has been snapped up and preorders by the same nations astra zeneca is apparently doing a little better pledging 2 thirds of its vaccine to developing countries. But even in the best case scenario, it could supply only 38 percent of the global population, and half that number with 2 doses per person. This is 2 ocean isnt new. Even before this pandemic and the mated 20000000, infants around the world have insufficient access to vaccines every year. And it doesnt look like changing anytime soon. According to one study, people in low Income Countries could be waiting as late as 2024. While some middle and lower middle Income Countries are represented here with directs deals, none of them have enough to vaccinate their entire populations. In the same time, canada has purchased enough to vaccinate its population 5 times over. High Income Countries have little incentive to share from their advance purchase stock. And even if things change and companies drastically ramp up production, many countries couldnt afford a job even if they wanted to. The modeller vaccine cost 30 2. 00 to 37. 00 per dose with 10 percent of the worlds population living on less than 2. 00 per day. And half the world living on less than 5 is that this fix makes for very grim reading. So even having hypothetical access to the vaccine doesnt mean having the ability to buy it. But there is a way out all these injustices could be remedied by countries waiving patents and other intellectual Property Rights on cobra related treatments until the pandemic is over. Countries like india and south africa would support from pakistan and china. Try to bring the idea to the table, but the proposal was dead in the water. You guessed it, the same countries who pretty much monopolize the job are having none of it, ignoring the pleas of the medical community already. Just the normal pharmaceutical. Yes it is that it is there in front of the public, it seems big. Pharma would disagree. Its a very black lives might matter. Healing the scars of poverty too, just as long as it makes Good Business sense. And you might think that the u. K. Has enough on its plate with briggs, it and the coronavirus pandemic. But defense ministry, big wigs are more worried about what the rules of war are and not down on earth, but in space. Thats because they fear an extra planetary scrap isnt far off. Arties shadi edwards dashed expects. The ministry of defense loves joining up some panic and now is predicting hostile action in the next 2 years. There anything is what actually happened down here. But the Energy Strategic policy boss is warning while the rules of conflict defined in space. Its a terribly different ballgame with few regulations to go by space is one of those areas . Well, i think a new era of Great Power Competition is going to be felt most keenly. It happens at sea. Weve been doing this for hundreds of years. We know what it means to behave in a certain way. I see. I dont think we all understand what it means to behave in a certain way in space. Know who is going to take advantage of this enormous battleground . Well, russia and china, of course, that see is even lays out the players. He describes as american, with russia also heart of the game, but a little bit will spiky and aggressive. And thats why the russian satellites have been frequently getting a bit too close for comfort with other nations satellites. As for the u. K. From a well meaning intentions, its the resolution at the u. N. General assembly to create rules and principles to avoid space. But this was opposed by spike in aggressive russia. The emirates deal so reckons the chinese are trying to emulate and supplant america while the french try to do things a little bit more autonomous. That is without having to rely on the u. S. But where is britain . While that she sees this new outer space battleground, as britains challenge to find its new friends a personality whoa down on the ground. Officials are scrambling to sign trade deals with photo. After things, it seems some new stumble is being viewed as an out of this world opportunity to see you k. Spank me for more and often feel welcome. And i will be sure
