An exclusive interview with r. T. Pink floyd cofounder roger waters explains why the outcome of the us election was always going to be disappointing. Its had been reelected it would have been worse for everyone in the world but that doesnt make biden no good candidate. Either thanks for joining us mid day here in moscow this is our take. Moscow has become the 1st russian city to start basque over vaccination the countrys sputnik v. Job is being made freely available to citizens high risk groups including doctors and teachers will be 1st in line to get the drug prices daily infection rate are spiraled surpassing 29000 arties year leadership of all of our visited the place where the sputnik vein job is manufactured. We are the 5 car company its a fetus its one of them and surprise is that its received by the government to see if shes right for the 1st registered specific recurrence of our respect to see if my production has already started here lets take a sputnik the is a too short adenovirus based effects of x. Seen the difference between sputnik v. And some other International Code 19 vaccines is this vaccine is a human based one not an animal so whats a vaccine its an engineered virus lacking the gene for representation therefore its unable to in fact what it does is serve as a vehicle for coronavirus proteins over 3 weeks a patient receives 2 different jobs to form antibodies and disease resistance the vaccine consists of 2 different shots its a quite complex task in terms of production because you have to manufacture 2 vaccines as opposed to one in every way i am a different scene is being bottled here if he wants this particular line for cases 6000. 00 but our meeting says he sounds and so this is per hour as each bottle containing 5 days is of 5 here minutes to be vaccinated said. Before taking a coronavirus vaccination everyone is examined to make sure theyre healthy but it takes another 15 minutes to store the vaccine sputnik ves stored at minus 18 degrees c. And Developers Say thats an advantage compared to other countries vaccines requiring significantly lower temperatures for storage after the injection doctors monitor you for certain minutes before youre free to go. Im a teacher i think the vaccination is a great way to protect myself and most importantly my relatives my parents are already 65 blots also its free. I was initially examined by a doctor he asked if i had any chronic diseases measured my Blood Pressure looked at my Electronic Medical record that i was allowed to undergo the procedure everything was fast i received that saying that they can be one of the 1st for the vaccination im so glad and i trust the vaccine has noticed to me oh yes i had doubts but ive made my decision and im here today the vaccine is now being supplied to all corners of the country at the same time the military is receiving sputnik v. T. In russia the co the 1000. 00 job is voluntary and free of charge and even though some people still remain skeptical about the safety and efficiency of the vaccine most agree that large scale explanation is probably the only way now to put an end to the pandemic. We spoke to a russian scientist who was among the 1st to get the job in moscow and he told us why the country was able to stop must like sedation so soon. Melissa answer was successful in developing the platform in the way i understand how it works is that once you have a platform to share with the antigen to. Then changing the type of an indigent is not big deal and this is what a true this explains these high speed of development and actually to meet it as it is a fundamental scientist this is in. Just a few patients who are long Term Investments into fundamental research in Life Sciences but of course. If i had not have this access to the data from people actually participating in to in the 3rd phase of Clinical Trials it would be more difficult to save all that convinced me personally to take decisions have a shot now again for each individual its the weight of risk and reward in my case the risk of having. A kernel wires disease and completions associated with that is so high that i was looking forward to having this opportunity to to get the shot. It on ticking there is also poised to roll out mass spanx in ation in wales plans have been unveiled to issue special i did cards for those receiving the job the personal immunization i. D. s waling the maker of the vaccine the date its received the number itll be used as a reference on reminder for the 2nd job with guidelines in case of any side effects however despite officials assuring the public vaccinations wont be made mandatory the id plans of might some uneasy and very worried about the system of id cards to be given to those who have had covered vaccination wales one step away from mandatory vaccination. If wales doesnt plan to exclude unvaccinated from society why do they need id cards for those who took it im definitely no anti vaccine but something about the idea cards wales plans on using is wrong people have free choice and shouldnt be pressured into doing anything to their bodies they dont want to. Or the official overseeing the vaccine rollout in england has admitted that while its not obligatory there could be societal pressure to have it we discuss the issues raised with a panel of guests. The idea to somehow having a cold that youve been vaccinated is going to be proof that either you will not continue not contagious for other people or that indeed you are immune yourself for a specific period is certainly not realistic i cold see any harm at the moment of having a certificate or a colored as explorer aide memoire as well so the fact that you go to get your seconds that salacious i think weve lost our collective minds with d respect to how viruses work we do always return immunity theyre granted sometimes its a natural process and this is how we all get vaccinated by by getting our own t. Cells that immunity space stop and then we can get back to that sedated with like the idea that obviously frontline provider should probably be vaccinated 1st the out early the people who are sick but this is survivable illness we keep forgetting that the likelihood of death which is what i really care about as a physician this death is incredibly low to the good largest part is survivability now michael are of course the people who have who really are consigned all that risk groups the more Vulnerable People who have been terrified of going outside obscene they need to be protected i know the idea of the greater good test kind of lost its importance lost its popularity but there are some who would say you know i want we all need to suck it up so that everyone oh of society can live funny again what do you say to those people well i mean if you look at the history of such uses of such terms as the common good in the greater good its doesnt have a very good history lets lets face it but for the vulnerable where we already are doing what we need to do to protect them to keep them isolated concentric on a fax email and we dont know the side effects of and we dont know the you know the way the human operates under them that it produces proteins that mimic leave that virus and we dont know what the down. Its our long term affects the residual our concatenation of. The fact that my car occur because of this for a virus that has such a low mortality rate it seems to be quite an extreme measure is the cure worse that it just seems were going to lose our Civil Liberties over this what are we really treating and americans and we all and the globe need to always push back sides always questions things this is not being a state thats religion this is science we always question what are we doing and what are the results Boris Johnson said making an id card what she wasnt very protests is that necessary until you think that were going to see really a strong public pushback on this well 1st of all i dont think it is necessary to make it compulsory i think the governments set its face against that already and as youve indicated its not the british way we dont make these things compulsory but of course as was indicated by one of your other guests i mean if there or indeed by Health Minister it may become almost mandatory if you actually want to do certain activities i mean if if some sort of significant was old saxon nation is required then it does become sublimate man and tree and that is a great concert. Thing floyd cofounder roger waters is the latest guest on aunties going underground see shares his views on the chances of joe biden pardoning whistleblower in chief julian assad and of undoing trumps selfstyled deal of the century you can watch the full interview. On r. T. Across the day for now heres a preview. Dave if trump had been reelected it would have been worse for everyone in the world but that doesnt make biden a good candidate biden is a dyed in the wool were among grading servant of the oligarchy that rules the United States american will continue to be so for however long he remains president of the United States hes not to be trusted on anything do you think joe biden is going to move the American Embassy back to tell of a are you kidding hes made it quite clear that hes the staunchest zionist friend of. Of israel that could possibly be in office so he i hope that he and kids start a happy sleeping in that caught that theyre going to share for the next few years kiss our reality has to look either of them having any power under any circumstances because they clearly not clear thinkers they clearly dont believe in human rights they clearly have no interest in the law to have no interest in the United Nations they have no interest in the geneva conventions they have no interest in any of the things that in near to my heart and to your heart should im completely impartial you have campaigned for upholding of Un Security Council resolution resolutions all your life you dont expect biden to reverse the trump position on the Golan Heights the illegal declaration by the United States is going to oppose the Un Security Council resolution making out that it was israeli now of course not i dont expect him to. Reverse any of that nonsense i expect him to absolute they abide by the deal of the century obviously im pretty happy that skinny piece of. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman marias car of a has accused the us of political aggression after it called for a moratorium on the construction of the north stream to gas pipeline any russian pipeline no matter where when or how it was constructed a what documents legitimized it has provoked a single reaction from the us for decades political aggression and illegal counter work i would like to tell washington you can just break the rules if you want to be a responsible player in the International Economic community you have to abide by the rules you know he said that Condoleezza Rice in the context of russian guess americas own words have quote out with it despite all the u. S. In terms to stop the project construction of the pipeline recombines over the weekend the mission for work in the german waters of the baltic sea was obtained from the German Federal office for shipping and hydrography stream to is close to completion with the pipeline 94 percent ready. It is close to completion theres not much left to do and that is why i think the sanctions are a load of nonsense and i hope that maybe with the election of the new us President Biden i hope it will become better and that we wont have such sanctions for sasnett certainly i think 1st and foremost its an economic enterprise the 2 states russia and germany committed to and the conference partners should be allowed to act as they have with 3 dawn i think the madness especially by the us is over the top. Well u. S. Sanctions on stream to now include asset freezes a ban on transactions and visa restrictions however for work commenced the u. S. Congress of approved a bill that included expanded sanctions against the pipeline among them restrictions for Companies Providing insurance for firms that work with welding equipment. The extension of the already existing nord stream pipeline which also goes through the baltic sea it will be able to pump 55000000000 cubic meters of natural gas all the way from russia to germany every year we spoke to journalist Thomas Fassbender about the future of the project under the incoming u. S. Administration. As we see today both sides the germans the russians and also the European Union they are basically committed to finish this project now its 94 Percent Complete it would be simply so silly to. Dump almost 10000000000 euros in the in the baltic sea for nothing but of course the u. S. Also already has u. S. Administration. Continues to or pressure approach to pressure the participants pressure the governments own wisdom by an its a very difficult choice the new american president will have to follow if we follow the old policy of his previous estimate on the truck going against the project i think very much the opposition to or north stream to is not a pet project of donald trump but it is deeply embedded in the geopolitics of the u. S. Foreign policy establishment on the other side joe biden by really interrupting really boycotting prohibiting that project would load negatively load his relations to europe or not only germany at it at an early stage of his presidency. Moscows against the United States of revisionism i have a new green card lottery rolls they describe russians living on the korea lalan says japanese more on that story after the break. Up good. Old. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see you then. Welcome back the u. S. State department has decided russians living on the islands are in fact japanese at least of its new green called long true rules ought to be believed. Do you need any more proof that the us is a revisionist state according to the 1945 decision the crew islands belong to the u. S. S. R. To do the Us State Department questions the outcome of world war 2 inspiring. Russia is furious it sees the crew as its territory as it sees the islands back in 1905 or rather the soviet troops but talk disagrees and has even prevented the 2 nations from signing a peace deal to formally end the war hostilities so the territorial dispute goes on for 75 years but it seems its awkward for washington they have no questions this is what the official instruction for the green corridor lottery also known as diversity visa says persons born in the home of my islands she could learn the sherry and who are chargeable to japan persons born in Southern Somalia are chargeable to russia thats especially ironic given that most of the japanese citizens were repatriated from these territories after the end of the 2nd world war and today the disease home to around 20000 russians what role if any does america have to play in this well washington has nothing to do with this dispute but it supports japan in this long running problem interesting is that how in the 1st place back in 1945 the soviet union decided to join the operation against japan it signed a deal with the us and the u. K. That in exchange for sending troops there it will get the colonels islands so this is the story and heres a short clip for our viewers to better understand the shoe. Well decades of negotiations are behind and it seems that standoff is still there but there is also hope shortly after taking office in september a newly elected japanese Prime Minister discussed the disputed islands over the phone with russias president Vladimir Putin after that we heard ian repeatedly saying that he hopes to finally find a solution and finally sign a peace deal over us was an executive Vice President of the center says that the u. S. Is trying to disrupt talks between moscow and tokyo. I think what were seeing here is the u. S. Interfering or basically. Injecting itself into Foreign Policy that is going in for discussions that are going on between japan and russia in a way theyre disrupting the ongoing negotiations i mean im sure that if you ask the people that live there what citizen they are from my understand theres a huge percentage of ethnic ukrainians and ethnic russians that live there and im sure they would say russia. Regardless of what the United States says you know i find it difficult that any country can decide what citizenship some other countrys citizens are but that is this seems to be the case that situated right now and i think the greater the greater objective here is to disrupt negotiations that are on underway. Having won the us president ial election democrat ties and now in 2 senate seats in georgia the state seal joe bidens victory they need him to get full control of the house and this deliver on the promises made on the campaign trail the democrat divisions are starting to emerge over some of those promises just on the culture explains. For the democrats it cant come quick enough the moment when their guy is sitting in the oval office but with the empty trump front that brought them to power in the 1st place now losing Relevance Party unity is starting to buckle i guess you can use a snappy slogan like defund the police but you know youve lost a big audience the minute you say that do you want to actually get something done or do you want to feel good among the people youre already agree with obama wasnt the 1st high profile democrat to criticize the radical rhetoric of some of the Party Supporters last month House Majority whip James Clyburn likened to fund the police to burn baby burn a 960 civil rights slogan that cliburn claims lost the movement a lot of support back then we were very concerned when these slogans came out about defund the police we talked about how that slogan could undermine the black lives Matter Movement just as burn baby burn destroyed our movement back in the sixtys define the police is killing our party and weve got to stop it it seems like the democrats are far from united on how to play politics in fact alexandria kazuo cortez who barack obama even mentioned as a good new blood addition to the party has said that making people feel uncomfortable is more important than inclusive slogans the thing that critics of activists dont get is that they tried playing the polite language policy game and only did was make them easy to ignore it wasnt until they meet folks uncomfortable that there was traction to do anything even if it was in their food and shes not the only one to take issue with obamas moderate stance we lose people in the hands of police its not a slogan but a policy demand and centering the demand for equitable investments in budgets for communities across the country gets us progress in safety. With all due respect mr president lets talk about losing people will most Michael Brown do now brianna tayla we are losing our loved ones to Police Violence its not a slogan its a mandate for keeping our people alive define the police the partys radical elements were definitely helpful to the elites when they had a common enemy but now former allies are turning on one another for 2 weeks liberal activists in los angeles have been protesting a potential biden and ministration appointment its the citys democratic mayor and hes less than popular with black lives matter its a damn shame sound one has felt the heiress of transportation and house listeners and now they think of putting him on National Level to be in charge of any of that liberal activists across the u. S. Are sending a clear message to the democratic leadership dont forget who put you in power but say they dont get what they want out of a biden presidency perhaps theyll take the same direct action that were still seeing at the close of a Trump Presidency well what could that mean for the future of the Democratic Party these are not just slogans these are calls to action by grassroots organizers who in many ways are the reason why there is even a president elect biden about to take over the white House Democrats who are in the caucus right now who are ready to continue this discussion and to ramp it up so that people understand that this is a Racial Justice issue and equally important to the Democratic Party this is an issue that impacts people who are more likely to vote for them the grassroots organizers on the ground are going to remain vigilant and they are absolutely prepared to hold the Incoming Administration accountable to the promises that they made such that those promises dont become reality at the end of the day in the democrats best interest to come together. Do some more world news for you now starting 1st of all in Florida Space x.
