There were misunderstandings from the beginning but we should forget about them and focus on our vaccine being one of the best. Donald trump is accused of summoning a mob and aiming them like a Loaded Cannon at the capitol according to pre trial documents from democrats were pushing for his impeachment. And tributes are pouring in for Captain Sirtom and tributes are pouring in for captain sir tom moore who has died at the age of 100. He is remembered for raising tens of millions for Coronavirus Workers in the uk. We begin in russia, where a court has ruled that Alexei Navalny will go to jail. A three and a half year suspended sentence for fraud from 2014 has been converted to a custodial sentence. Hes expected to spend over 2. 5 years in prison that allows for time previously spent under house arrest. This is Alexei Navalny arriving in court to hear the verdict he used his appearance to castigate President Putin, and said hed go down in history as someone who poisoned people. This was outside the moscow courtroom earlier, where mr navalny� s supporters tried to gather, but the whole area was overrun with riot police. More than 300 people were arrested. These are live pictures from moscow right now. Supporters are gathering in the street, protesting against this sentencing. Condemnation of the verdict has been swift. The us secretary of state, antony blinken, expressed deep concern, saying the us would work with allies to hold russia accountable for failing to uphold the rights of its citizens. 0nce once the custodial sentence expected .

That is nothing new for navalny, and Something Like that was expected, just as we saw how stakes were rising towards the court hearing, so navalny� s brother has already been detained and has to spend some time behind bars stop so the stakes are rising, and a realjail term for Opposition Leaders is nothing new. I tell us about this fraud conviction, where the doubts about the quality of the evidence . To begin, all this conviction for embezzlement, it goes back to 2017 and the European Court of human rights has already ruled a few years ago that this is unfair and that the grounds behind it are tricky. So that case has already been dismissed by the European Court of human rights and now the russian state has brought it up again and used it to jail Alexei Navalny. So there are questions arising, and all the moves which were done, we cannot say they are against the law but it is not something which is written in russian law a criminal court, it is a weird reading of something in between the lines. M0 . . . A weird reading of something in between the lines. A weird reading of something in between the lines. Now we look to see how mr between the lines. Now we look to see how mr navalny between the lines. Now we look to see how mr navalny and between the lines. Now we look to see how mr navalny and his see how mr navalny and his supporters respond. He is a high profile individual but is there an organisation below him . Well. An organisation below him . Well, there is an an organisation below him . Well, there is an organisation, an organisation below him . Well, there is an organisation, they an organisation below him . Ii there is an organisation, they have representatives in the majority of russian regions but the trouble is since there were two weeks of protests before this Court Decision the majority of his team mates, the majority of famous figures in his team, have already been detained or arrested by the Russian Police. So the only leaders remaining are those who are outside of russia and also some low key people from his team. But many people are coming to the streets not because of navalny as a political leader, people who are coming said that they want justice and they want a more fair state. We heard Alexei Navalny saying his trial was a warning to russians from President Putin and whether that is the case or not, whether President Putin in any way was involved in this trial, the fact is seeing mr Navalny Go To Prison will send a message to other political opponents. Message to other political opponents message to other political opponents. Message to other political ouonents. ,. , � ,. , opponents. Yes, but thats not the first time when opponents.

What is different this time is that navalny was coming back after abli being poisoned by novichok, a Chemical Weapon being used against a russian citizen, he has returned home and the police said, you havent checked in for your suspended sentence, despite the fact that during that time he was recovering from an illness. We appreciate recovering from an illness. We appreciate your help, thank you very much indeed. The white house has been commenting on mr navalny� s sentencing.

Two other important for exercising their rights. Twp other important elements in the us to talk about. Democrats have laid out their case for impeaching donald trump for a second time ahead of his trial in the senate next week. Their pre trial brief is damning and says the former president summoned a mob to washington, exhorted them into a frenzy and aimed them like a Loaded Cannon down pennsylvania avenue. It calls this a profound violation of the oath he swore and demands hes disqualified from ever running for office again. In the last hour or so, mr trumps lawyers have responded, they have said the us senate has no authority to try him as a private citizen on an Impeachment Charge. Adding, the senate lacks jurisdiction to remove from office a man who does not hold office. Donald trump is accused of inciting the storming of capitol hill onjanuary 6th. Five people, including a police officer, died in the violence between Trump Supporters and the security forces. Gary 0donoghue is in washington, dc. Am surprised we are still at the point where we are arguing that this impeachment has jurisdiction, point where we are arguing that this impeachment hasjurisdiction, hasnt impeachment has jurisdiction, hasnt already impeachment hasjurisdiction, hasnt already been cleared up . Hope. Already been cleared up . Now, because in already been cleared up . Now, because in a already been cleared up . Now, because in a sense already been cleared up . Now, because in a sense this already been cleared up . Now, because in a sense this is already been cleared up . Iipw, because in a sense this is uncharted territory in some ways, it is only the fourth impeachment of a president ever and two of them have been of donald trump and there has never been a trial of a president on an Impeachment Charge after they have left office. There have been trials of other people on impeachment because you can impeach others other than a president. This is something that will be tested. And the senators themselves are in many ways judge and and the senators themselves are in many waysjudge and jury, and the senators themselves are in many ways judge and jury, so whether or not it is constitutional is literally down to their votes, come the trial next week. So it is one of the trial next week. So it is one of the key thing is the president will be arguing and interestingly, it has been tested already in the senate a couple of weeks ago when republicans were asked the question about whether it was constitutional and 45 of them voted it was not, which is not good news for the democrats, who need 17 of their opponents to break ranks to get a conviction. Band need 17 of their opponents to break ranks to get a conviction. Ranks to get a conviction. And can ask about the ranks to get a conviction. And can ask about the amount ranks to get a conviction. And can ask about the amount of ranks to get a conviction. And can| ask about the amount of attention this is drawing in america, the political intensity it is creating . Because the first impeachment was while trump was president and the whole world was watching for a couple of weeks. Will it be the same or does it feel different this time . I think it is going to be a pretty big deal next week. It is going to bring to a halt what is happening in the senate and that has a Knock On Effect in terms ofjoe biden� s agenda part of the democrats will want to do it pretty quickly but in some ways, the first trial, multiple is a sort of historic moment, and the sort of presidency and the history of this country, it was very detailed, this and that text message, who said what to whom, this is going to be reliving January The 6th through the testimony of people who were there, maybe through video clips, maybe through the words of the president himself. It is going to be a pretty dramatic set of circumstances, i think. To be a pretty dramatic set of circumstances, ithink. I to be a pretty dramatic set of circumstances, i think.

Large scale Trial Results show its sputnik v vaccine gives around 92 protection against covid 19. Heres the man who runs the russian Government Organisation which funded the vaccine. So today is a great victory. Not just for russia but for the whole world, as we are fighting the pandemic. We use this v sign to celebrate our victory. The figure of 92 is based on Peer ReviewedTrial Results on 20,000 people. This has published in the lancet, which is one of the worlds best respected science journals. In a comment published alongside, two leading virologists say in august last year, russia became the first country in the world to approve a vaccine. They gave Sputnik V The Go Ahead before finishing the large scale trials we now have the results of. Vladimir putins daughter was injected with it. It led to headlines like this scientists were scathing, calling it a reckless and foolish decision. Mass vaccination with an improperly tested vaccine is unethical. This Vaccine Scientist said, if they get it wrong, it could undermine the entire global enterprise. Now, a change of tone. This virologist says, we should be more careful about being overly critical about other countries vaccine designs. Heres more from kirill dmitriev. Yes, there were lots of misunderstandings in the beginning but we should forget about them and really focus on our vaccine being one of the best, because there are only three vaccines with efficacy of more than 90 . Sputnik works in a similar way to the Oxford Astrazeneca vaccine. Newly released data shows that has an effectiveness of 82 . And both offer complete protection against hospitalisation and death from covid 19. These vaccines use a cold type virus, engineered to be harmless, to deliver a fragment of coronavirus to the body. It makes the Immune System primed to fight the virus if it encounters it for real. Its also relatively inexpensive to produce and doesnt need to be stored at super cold temperatures. But russia still needs to make it at scale, and thats where it may face difficulties. As our Health Correspondent jim reed explains. This vaccine is different from others in that it needs two doses, but both those doses are slightly different, that is deliberate, to provoke a stronger immune response but it makes the production more complicated, it makes it more difficult to make this vaccine at scale. Sputnik v is registered for use in more than 15 countries including russia, hungary and serbia. Serbia now has the highest Vaccination Rate in mainland europe. And this is the first 40,000 doses of sputnik arriving in hungary. Jabs will start being given out straight away. Its also proved popular in south america, with bolivia, venezuela, paraguay, uruguay and argentina on board. Choosing the Sputnik Vaccine without trial data was a risk for these countries, but its paid off. Also consider that many places may not have had much choice. Take argentina, which has one of the worst death rates in south america. Let us speak to professor daniel altmann, an immunologist from Imperial College london. Thank you for your time today. Do you think people were too quick to criticise when russia started its vaccinations before the end of the mass trial . Well, i think people were very sniffy, because we were all looking for the highest possible standards in terms of her regulatory approvals. Maybe people were a bit tough. I read the lancet today and i think to me it looks like good news. We have a whole planet to vaccinate here and every vaccine we can add to the arsenal helps us out on that. This to me looks like a perfectly good one stop point is this vaccine, does itjump through the same hoops as the other ones we discussed . Yes and no. The publication in the lancet looks to me like it has very similar data on most metrics to the ones that we like. 0bviously, each country, each region has their regulatory bodies to satisfy. We dont know much about what kind of passage it has had in russia. But to me, it all looks more or less 0k. And at the end of the day the vaccine we are talking about is almost indistinguishable from the Johnson Johnson vaccine that we like very much and will probably be licensed here, so why not . A couple of other things to ask you about. Frances top Health Advisory body has become the latest to approve the use of astrazenecas Coronavirus Vaccine but with restrictions. They recommend it only be made available for those aged 18 65 Adopting similar recommendations made by regulators in germany and poland in limiting its use for older citizens. So that is an interesting development. First altman, and that front, that seems out of sync with the conclusion the european regulator took last week. It does. This is not regulator took last week. It does. This is not a regulator took last week. It does. This is not a comfortable regulator took last week. It does. This is not a comfortable place i regulator took last week
