The race drug. Its going to be many, many months before there will be adequate vaccine available throughout the world for the whole population to be in the russian military. Start a de Mining Operation in the nagornokarabakh region. If its a peacekeeping mission in the area gathers pace visited, the site of the operation will break next to the city, full of returning refugees, people who will be scarred by the war. People are still in shock and fearful for the future. The last thing they need is more explosions. Good morning. Thanks for joining us here on out international. We begin stateside for a white house shakeup is under way the General Services administration which oversees access to federal agencies has triggered a formal transition process to a joe biden presidency. Donald trump says that his administration will cooperate during this period. He still to consider the race. I want to thank emily murphy, a g. S. A. For her steadfast dedication and loyalty to our country. Shes been harassed, threatened, and abused, and i do not want to see this happen to her or her family or employees of g. S. A. Our case strongly continues, we will keep up the good fight, and i believe we will prevail, nevertheless, in the best interests of our country. I am recommending that emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols and have told my team to do the same. Or the head of the General Services administration heard come under pressure to sign off on the transition earlier. Murphy was called on by the democrats to explain the holdup, and even though she insists that her decision was made independently, she admits receiving quote, threats to greenlight, the transition to be clear, i did not receive any direction to delay my determination. I did, however, received threats, online by phone and by mail directed at my safety, my family, my staff, and even my pets. In an effort to carus means of making this determination prematurely, even in the face of thousands of threats, i always remain committed to uphold in the law. Political commentator lauren chen says that Political Polarization has spilled over from the white house into other branches of government, making the transition a difficult one. It goes to show how toxic the american political discourse has, become. When now, even american officials like the g. S. A. , which is by no means a glamorous position, are receiving things like death threats. I think its important to note with this that this is in no way a concession on behalf of the from administration. Now the trumpet, ministration has been dealt some blows in terms of their litigation in michigan and pennsylvania, but they plan on appealing from what i understand. And a lot of people myself included, believe that ultimately this will end up at the supreme court. Now this is by no means over. However, by agreeing to follow this protocol, i think the trabant ministration is doing their best to, i guess, appease media and the Democratic Party who are insisting on accusing him of staging some sort of sudoku, which is absolutely not the case. Even before the start of the official transition, the president elect was already fast. That would cabinet picks the job buns, decision to line up. The oval office with war hawks is already raising questions about his Foreign Policy intentions. Killing more than explains 6 cabinet appointees have already been named. Among them is anthony blanket for his secretary of state. Now anthony blanket has certainly got an impressive resume. He is definitely not a washington outsider. He was obamas deputy adviser. He was National Security adviser to joe biden, when he was Vice President , and he was deputy secretary of state. And you can be expecting that he will be establishing a stark departure from the era of donald trump. Whether we like it or not, the world simply doesnt organize itself. And until the trumpet, ministration of the United States have played a lead role in doing a lot of good organizing and helping to write the rules. And joe biden starts with the proposition that we need to reassert american engagement in american leadership. So where do his Foreign Policy instincts lie . Well, based on his resume, he seems to be an advocate of military intervention. As a blanket was a supporter of the u. S. Invasion of iraq in 2002, he was an advisor to joe biden at the time when joe biden was very outspoken in supporting that war and repeating the later debunked claims about weapons of mass destruction. Blinken also things that the problem in syria or the United States has been arming terrorists and extremists in the hope of toppling the baathist government has been a lack of u. S. Intervention. We failed to prevent a horrific loss of life. We failed to prevent massive displacement of people internally in syria, and of course, externally is refugees. And its something that i will take with me for the rest of my days. Lincolns love for war has expressed itself in some rather odd ways. For example, back in 2011, he called out joe biden, his boss at the time for not being enthusiastic enough about nato, his intervention in libya. Well take a look at the north african country almost a decade later and see how well that intervention turned out. Now blinken also repeats the allegation that russia was paying balances to afghan terrorists if they killed u. S. Soldiers. When President Trump stands with Vladimir Putin on, on the world stage, and takes his word about rushs attacks in our elections over thats for intelligence agencies that exacerbates the problem when we have a president who is told that russia may be putting bounties on the heads of our troops in afghanistan and does nothing, in fact, worse than nothing by his own knowledge meant speaking to president putin at least 6 times off that report and not raising it. Not confirming him and even inviting president putin to washington and russia back into the g. 7. We have a real fundamental problem. Sure, thats pretty bad except that it probably didnt happen. U. S. Intelligence has admitted on multiple occasions that it has absolutely no concrete evidence to back up these claims, but it sure made a good talking point for the joe biden president ial campaign, and it was a way to keep the russia gate hysterics a lot. So who cares if its not true . So while trump is still contesting the election results, biden is getting prepared to get to work in the oval office and based on his secretary of state pick, it looks like peace will definitely not be a priority. Weve seen somebody who has doubled down, defended and read, defended a position that has no defense. He has continued to argue for the type of hope for a policy that has been shown to be false, images that should be ineffective. Its an entirely unscientific approach to try something, see it not work, and then declare success. And were going to see more and more money through good money thrown after bad as this involvement continues. I dont think anything there is particularly surprising. I mean, we see a continuation of the previous of the Obama Administration and the clinton administration. I dont see anything there that unusual. I see basically business as usual military overreach, rather than cutting military spending. Were not going to see the shutting down Foreign Military bases and bring the troops home. Were not going to see a deal escalation of the conflicts in iran and as our in iraq in afghanistan and syria. Were going to see just an escalation in a continuous asian of bees with the military Industrial Complex running. The u. S. Government form a giant astra zeneca has revealed that the covert vaccine its working on is on average, less effective than rival champs at least according to its preliminary data. The global race to complete final trials is heating up and hes done. Hawkins looks at how the various vaccines being developed, a shaping up code 19 vaccines are racing towards the finishing line with dozens in the vellum and across the world. Several front runners are now in the final stages of Clinical Trials. Astra zeneca being the latest contender squally. We heard the cash usage, astra zeneca. That scene has been in Clinical Trials history during the suns out. This vaccine. The boy blue shirt is on the ship with a Great British company, is that he can be both easy to use. Haiti fantastic may be slightly optimistic, while researches say the results could improve 70 percent average efficacy is well below that of other results. And the fall in astra zeneca share price reflects investors disappointment in the numbers. This is a highly competitive market, and the stakes are high. Every efficacy percentage point counts. So its not surprising. Theres cutthroat competition and one upmanship. Pfizer and biotech were the 1st to announce a vaccine with 90 percent efficacy in early november. The russians were quick to follow reporting a slightly better result of 92 percent just a day later. But then up the ante claiming results of 95 percent deficit. And days later, pfizer decided to correct their initial results, the closer and they were actually on par with their main competitor. Also at 95 percent. And remember, efficacy is just one part of the picture. Any vaccine will need to be manufactured, stored and distributed in huge quantities. So again, why not point out the strengths of your products and do all you can to expose the weaknesses of your opponents . This homegrown vaccine is, is easier to administer as well than the Pfizer Vaccine because it doesnt need to be stored. Minus 70 hour vaccine is easier to store, easier to transport, quicker to put, to use and will have more doses, say astra zeneca. Its being touted as another nail in the coffin of coronavirus. Dont forget, cost is a key factor, especially when it comes to supplying the developing world. Every money factor of whats to maximize their market share and at least try to look at the coal while still making an easy payday. After all, if anything does go wrong and have nothing to worry about with indemnity agreements in place, translating pharma lingo, the announcement price of fires or a 1000. 50 dollars and modern of 25 to 37. 00 per dose actually means there price of 39. 50 to 74. 00 per person. 2 doses are required per person for the pfizer splitting fee in modern vaccines. The price of sputnik v. Will be much lower. Some are going all out and totally undercutting the cold war dishes prices. Its hard to argue with the price of just a few dollars. And of course theres the marketing campaign. Its nothing personal, even if it seems that way. As long as your competitor is undermined or accused of being the one doing the undermining and launching smear attacks. Perhaps the experts at the Atlantic Council are referring to something along these lines that moscow has been accused of cutting corners, using spice to steal western research, which it denies. Russia rushed to register it as a world 1st raising eyebrows in the scientific community, letting it putin announce to the approval of the 2nd to new coronavirus fix. Even though neither of the russian vaccines have passed to the 3rd phase of rigorous safety trials to say to me, as developments is being questioned. At the end of the day, one has to be pragmatic. Saving the world from a pandemic is all well and good. But business is business and everybody wants a slice of the pie. And when the pie is worth an estimated 10000000000. 00 globally, why not start the cards in your favor . We spoke to dave navarro, the world health organization, special envoy on covert 19 and with Public Health expert tom and gupta, about how they see the state of play when it comes to the arrival vaccines. Its going to be many, many months before there will be adequate vaccine available throughout the world for the whole World Population to be immunized authorized version for use in multiple countries. That when w h os involvement is sought, and that will take some time. You cant authorize a vaccine for use in multiple countries on an emergency use also rides agent without very, very careful for parents to work. We have, you know, a lot of 7000000000 people do x. In need then rising should not really be the critical factor. I think this is the dying when our stakeholder needs to come together and really look at the possible ways to finance and ensure that everybody has an access do it or not having access to will be a much more higher cost to the nations and to the publics at large, while drug makers compete for a vaccine athletes around the world are doing their best to keep competing to, despite the sports sector, being one of the hardest hit by the pandemic. I spoke to check hockey legend in 2 time stanley cup winner jarome a jaga about sport during the code video. I went to time stanley cup winner of 2 World Championships. You were on a limb pick champion. You also now that i think most relevant to what were going through at the moment, you own your own hockey club to see clad know in the czech republic. How difficult is it owning the club in times of coronavirus possible . You know, when they ask us or before the season, if we want to play without offense, i was the guy was so normal its, it doesnt make any right now when they ask me, you know, i said, yeah, lets play a least play without offense. There is no money coming in the club, but at least you know, we can be on a t. V. , at least you can play, we can keep playing, we can be proud to sink and people who love the sport, you know, believe they can do their job. Me persona always play for the fans. I always wanted to satisfy the fans. Always. Do you know who will come to the game . Give them the best you can. Every, every game ball of a sudden theres nobody else. Its like a breathless. The 1st thing is in nobody really know whats going to happen to the tell you this thing and next day they have to change it because they dont know or the worry is going to go to no later, you know, with the situation, you know, there is a lot of a lot of teams may go bankrupt, not many going to survive. Like i said, youve won so much. Im sure youve had lows as well in professional sport. Is this the strangest time youve been through . You just have to keep going. You know, if you have once and in the end of life, so lets little to take advantage and take it as a challenge. You know, its, you know, everybody can live, had to leave everything, go easy, you know, you dont, you know, they have their hard times, sometimes helping more than the easy stuff. Police in central paris have used tear gas to break up a large pro migrant protest in the french capital, which erupted after a temporary camp was cleared away by authorities appeals film and his camp was set up by various organizations in response to the evacuation of the migrant camp site danny. Last tuesday, the goal of the organizers of the tent camp of the past in the republic is to make their voices heard it to draw the attention of the authorities to the plight of migrants. Let me remind you again that last tuesday the camp in centennial was evacuated. It was home to 1500 migrants. 800 of them are still that the rest is trying to find a way out of the situation. And of course, some refuge in paris, various pro migrant organizations are trying to help them. The government has not yet proposed any solution, which is why the prime migrant eutopia organization launched this process and is trying to reach out to government authorities. Here as he often says, actually still to come, pace may have returned to go to cairo, but put the threat to lives, remains in the form of unexploded bombs, which one russian sub has working to ensure the safety of locals just a minute. Well it still seems wrong, but ill just let me get to say palace just cut the ticket and engagement because the trail went something to find themselves worlds apart just of the common ground. But remember the peak oil true in the case because it is approaching impossible for the average to acquire the Russian Peacekeeping mission in the new going to full swing special d. Mining units to clear the area of bombs which pose a threat to those returning to the homes visited the site of one such operation, the sheer intensity of this war, the sheer quantity of me sells ammunition bombs used are astounding. The sad truth is that it will take years to find that make safe every unexploded munition footage visited by john, raining cluster bombs and cities and towns and in the garden a car, a buck sparked outrage, but adds, rage dissipates, and evaporates, cluster bombs dont process. So we are ready for anything, especially air drop bombs and cluster munitions, rounds and drops to learn or dont have enough rotation speed. And they wind up unexploded in peoples gardens or kids playgrounds, or they could be a previous military and the soldiers may have left, but the munitions remained. Russian engineers and sappers part of the peacekeeping contingent have been tossed with the Mining Operations other than daily patrols and roads in iraq outposts. They also assist local sappers. Theres plenty of work for both. What complicates matters even further is that we arent out in the middle of nowhere. You cant very well blew every unexploded shell up. We have right next to the city of state by the get full of returning refugees. People who have been scarred by the war. People still in shock and fearful for the future. The last thing they need is more explosions. Any minute, no munition found categorized. Category 3 is the least dangerous. These shells or rockets are generally and fired and can be transported for disposal. Category one of the worst booby traps cluster, bomblets, or volatile munitions that must be destroyed on the spot. In this area, we identified 2 r. P. G. Rockets into 125 millimeter tank rounds. Its slow and dangerous work, but helping out a mans and sappers best friend. The mining dogs, some of them, her name is jacqueline. Shes a belgian shepherd. She took part in the fifa World Championships and she has been through a lot of training and weve been together for 3 years. You use whatever you can. The war may be over, but every other day we hear of another incident. Another casualty, a mine going off or an old grenade, exploding the peacekeepers. Mission is to establish peace and bring back calm, which you cant do. If people are terrified of the very ground they walk on, or i guess the of from the garden and a whole Course Museum in florida, sparked outrage with a new exhibition in honor of someone who had nothing to do with that chapter in history. Alongside exhibits of nazi war crimes, the Memorial Center presented images, unquote captured in the aftermath of George Floyds death. The killing of the blood man in minneapolis back in may spark months of protests against Police Racism and brutality in the us beyond the museum. So the floyd exhibition is supposed to counter any identity based hate members of the Jewish Community found it hugely disrespectful. Once someone faces an act of anti semitism, racism, or any form of identity based hate, where they too result in death or not. There is an uprising of many emotions. We thought it was important to bring the Human Experience of the aftermath to our museum. We strongly question placing the george floyd exhibit in a holocaust museum, one wouldnt expect to see holocaust exhibits or the museum about the africanamerican experience. It is deeply offensive to appropriate our persecution to score cheap political points masquerading as intersectionality whole course historian or from 0 if is the new exhibition reflects a dangerous trend of equating other events to the atrocities of the holocaust. The death of george floyd compared to the how, of course, the thats absurd, totally absurd and totally inappropriate today, especially in the western world. The major problem that we face one of the major problems is of course, how, of course, distortion. How, of course, distortion is not to deny that the tragedy of the scope of the holocaust took place. But to change the narrative of the holocaust, in many cases to hide the involvement of people other than the german and austrian nazis. And this attempt to universalize the holocaust is a very dangerous phenomenon as well. And this is a classic example. Not every tragedy is the holocaust that every tragedy in the holocaust or should the holocaust be compared to 2. Far less the tragedies. So here too, you see this is a battle over the accuracy of the narrative. And the perception of the average the turkish president says, his country sees itself as part of your it comes ahead of an e. U. Summit next month and tensions with one block member in particular. Do pinsky explains. It may have been an olive branch, but the turkish president s overtures to the and by extension to france over the last days have met with little enthusiasm, the French Foreign minister saying what paris really wants is to see action for 2 or 3 days. We have heard statements from president or the guy. This is not enough. We need action simmering. Tensions between france and turkey are in danger of boiling over into uncooled into question mark khans mental health. While marc cohn suggested turkey was stirring up resentment against france in the media, and its not the 1st time that the 2 countries have ratcheted up. The temperature turkey has been recognized as a candidate for full e. U. Membership since 9095, but a quarter of a century later, the talks have stalled. Concerns were raised following the 2016 coup in turkey and the crackdown that followed with human rights issues among the chief sticking points back then frances president might call on didnt mince his words. He said it was time to end the poker. See, pretending that there was any prospect of advancement in membership talks. But as far as the relationship with the European Union is concerned, it is clear that recent developments and choices do not allow any progression of the process which we are engaged. Since then, relations have deteriorated, france and turkey have been at loggerheads over syria, libya, and as a nato allies. More recently there have been new to speech including over turkey, drilling in the Eastern Mediterranean in search of natural gas. The waters are, claimed by 2 members of the e. U. , greece and cyprus that in tangled in a quarrel with this warning shot from the top diplomat. It is important that turkey understands that its behavior is why did it separation from the e. U. . Then there has been the fallout over the controversial mohammed cartoons. But also this one on the show is what happened in france. The lawlessness towards muslims has become almost commonplace in many western states which are always praising new cells when it comes to the matter of democracy. Towards islam and muslims has become a state backed policy in some european countries, and one which is possibly back to the some incidents by frances head of state. All of this seems to be hardening the e. U. Against turkey with france leading the charge. France is united and europe is united at the next european council. Europe will have to take decisions that will allow it to strengthen the power balance with turkey to better defend its interests and european values. Even cautious germany has warned turkey that it needs to think carefully about its next move. All of this could come to a head as leaders meet next month when the real possibility over sanctions against being given the green light, a move that could truly signal the end of the road for turkey, joining the bloc.
