Infringement on european independence from germanys energy chief u. S. Pressure has reached an unprecedented high. Its an attempt by the americans to be economic interests. Actually, this behavior reminds me of the mafia. Just after 1 in the morning here in moscow, this thursday, good company, my names you know, on your chin didnt r. T. , international or breaking news story, true superstar, in every sense of the word arjun telling football legend diego has passed away at the age of 60. His lawyer confirmed his death from a heart attack in buenos aires on wednesday. Maradona was considered one of the greatest footballers of all time, a world cup winner, and was named joint fifa player of the 20th century alongside pele. And he was never, far from the media spotlight to both for his actions on and off the field. Peter, all of our takes us through a life less ordinary. Diego marriage dollar was hero, to many a villain to some devil that played football like an angel. He will be sadly missed as a character, but he certainly lived a life 60 years old. Fit more into those 60 years. The most people would do in a 100 lifetimes. He started his football in korea at home in argentina, but it was in europe that he really burst on to the scene in 1982 he signed for barcelona for a day and world record all feet of just over 7 and a half 1000000. 00. He spent a short time with the catalan giants his time. There was marred by fights on the pitch off the pitch with the clubs management, with the clubs owners hierarchy directors, anybody who he could fight with. He pretty much did. He did win 2 trophies while he was there as well, but he later moved on to napoli and to italy, where put away again, a world record for this time, for just over 10000000. 00. That 1986 to 87. 00 season, he pretty much won the Italian League for not police by himself. He played in a team, it was a very good team, but it certainly, i dont think its for think its fair to say wasnt the greatest team in italy at that time. But him being in that site. He was the talisman. He was that mecurio player. He scored the goals, he made the goals he put the tackles in. He raised the spirits and he drug thats not police. Cite to the League Championship in 87, they won it again in the 8990 season as well. While he was there, he picked up also some european success as well with the u. A. E. For cup internationally though he is argentinas favorite son, and im including messi, of course, the current incumbent of that number 10 shirt. I think its fair to say, particularly on this day, everybodys thoughts are going towards towards Diego Maradona when it comes to who is that greatest . Argentine number 10, it started out his International Career in the 82. 00 world cup. It was and a great one for argentina in self found himself pretty much mogue by the italians during a group stage much that was as far as tina went in 82. 00 in spain, but it was 86. 00 in mexico. That was mara, donnas world cup, coming from england myself. Its the quarter final against england that comes to mind immediately. He scored one goal. Its known as the hand of god, wary. Well, he put it in the back of the net with his hand, but his 2nd goal in not to want victory against england goes down as the greatest officially. The greatest goal of the 20th century. As maradona picked the ball up inside his own half beat 5 england players before dropping a shoulder and leaving the england goalkeeper Peter Shilton lying on his back side as he slotted it into the into the goal in the final against west germany. Mara dollar was marked heavily through that game. It would still known in german football journalism shaw in german football journalism shorthand as maradona marking what they did there. They had 2 people on him at all times, trying to stop him from playing. One of those was low to mattel, yes. Regarded as probably the best defender of his generation. Marathoner was still able to get that half a meter of space and play through the ball that resulted in the winning goal. As argentina won 32. 00 in that world cup his International Career came to an end in 1900 for the world cup in the United States, where under a cloud of some sought see tested positive for a performance enhancing drug and was sent home into scrapes, the maintained up until the day he died, that it was, it was taken by accident that it was something that was in a supplement that was different in the United States than it was in argentina. Books, he did have his problems with Substance Abuse from the 1980s. He struggled with cocaine addiction, also troubles with alcohol as well, and it saw him leave napoli, the club where he was loved idolized in, still viewed with religious zeal in the Southern Italian city. He left there under a cloud in 1992 after a time on the sidelines following a ban for testing positive for cocaine, you have to remember, he straddled a big change in football. At the time he started. The way to deal with him was to basically kick him and stop him from, from playing. He was able to get around that and still when he then moved into last time in the ninetys, where real professionalism came into World Football and the game start. The change was how would he stand up against a messy or an alto in todays game . I still think Diego Maradona would have had the ways to beat the heat are all very well. I spoke to a local journalist based in the city of la plata. Where do you go . Maradona was still actually officially a coach until last week. He told us the whole nation of argentina is devastated by the news brought together in mourning for a man who went beyond sporting and social borders to unite them. The whole country is live in really special the only what is really, really you have to understand that its like the argentinean here. No matter which sport blue you are from my own or represents, the argentinian soccers even goes beyond that. I would say theres no one like the a woman on the stands. Its the argentinian in every sense. Some people are saying god had died because some people believed in mother like like something else. Because many people in argentina, in our, especially in these times with a lot of people are suffering. They find someone that that gives well with the sporting and wider world reeling from the shock announcement of maradonas death. Fans everywhere are mourning their hero here in the italian city of naples. Our correspondent mentioned earlier, he is a cherished. I can remember it as the talisman of another police side that twice. d won the league title for the 1st time in their history to people have been pouring onto the streets there all evening to bid farewell. While the citys mayor was already annoyed that the stadium will be renamed after mara done to moving on to more world news. This hour usa experts are claiming the astra zeneca colbert vaccine is not very effective for all her people. The british swedish job as undergone, phase 3 trials are earlier. Its developer said it was up to 90 percent effective. A u. S. Government organization overstates the figure cant be applied to all age groups with more on that. Heres our tees off. So essentially, this whole thing is about the discrepancy between what the manufacturer of this vaccine is saying. And the claims made by us researches and us specialists who also had a look at the ceremony. So when on monday astra zeneca published a press release saying that the average earth that on average, this vaccine is 70 percent efficient. And it gave an explanation to this figure as to why essentially they said that there were 2 groups of people who participated in the clinical trials. One group of people was given 2 full doses of the vaccine, while another group of people got a smaller dosage. And they are saying that in this 2nd group, the vaccine was actually 90 percent efficient. While in the 1st group, it was only 62 percent efficient. Some people asked questions as to how exactly a lower dosage of a vaccine can be more effective than a larger dose of but now americans have had a chance to examine this ceremony as well. Theyre saying that it has nothing to do with how much of the vaccine a person gets. It was more efficient, the 2nd group that got a smaller dosage. They were aged from 18 years old to 55 years old, while the 2nd group were the vaccine turned out to be less efficient. Had some participants who were over 55 years old. And so theyre saying that this is the main reason and not the amount of the seram that each person gets is how they put it. There are also differences in the age brackets present in the quartz in the 1st received those and fooled those who lose had a cap on the age at the age of 55 when theyre older, people included in the city did receive to lose and to lose i have to say this is how vaccines often work because a younger person tends to have a stronger immune system and therefore stronger immune response develops more antibodies then in all the person on average. So it could be, its, but the question is rather why would astra zeneca leave out this information about people being differently aged from its initial report and why we are learning this from a 3rd party astra. Zeneca is looking for f. D. A. Approval because the u. S. Is a huge market for the vaccine with a huge demand for the vaccine. So the american side said that this difference in dosage. Yeah, you know how much each group of people was getting. This vaccine apparently was an intentional. According to the u. S. Specialists, it was just a mistake. This was a change in the way the quantity of vaccine the amount of put in of was tested. And when they, when they realized that there was an error or a change in their approach technique used, they corrected it. Astra zeneca has been losing value on the market. A lot of people are skeptical because weve had our scientists have had really little time to study the virus. And so people will be asking questions. What exactly they are suggested to be injected to be injected into, into their bodies. So its sort of a message and a lesson to every producer over vaccine that the more transparent they are, the more details they give out right away is the better it will be because people dont want any more surprises and they want to feel safe. When earlier we discussed the issue of transparency surrounding the vaccine race with a g. P. For the u. K. S National Health Service and a professor of Preventive Medicine in the u. S. These Companies Last present all of their data very clearly out front. We had dissipated that with all the different vaccines being developed, some may work better in some populations than others. And at least the early reports suggest that this may be true of the astra zeneca. Actually, we have a huge proportion of the population thats under 65 years of age, or under 50, that would still be ending. Normas contribution of this vaccine that could add to the total. Thats a nation effort. This is absolutely essential that we have transparency up and down the line. That is the only thing that will engender trust. And if we expect people to come forward and roll up their sleeves and be exact needed, we need their trust. And the only way you can get trust is to be honest, straightforward, and transparent. And when that happens, then i think we have the trust of the people who need to be actually under. They really are remarkably unaffected by the virus itself. So, you know, the population who we were trying to protect the illusion here are liable to die for all infection or are this very group really is that its got to work on the wind. But of a think really remarkably small numbers. 100110 people to the point where they release results. I mean these are known to be considered very early stage, every testing rather than a major trial. I mean the trials. No, no, no, actually its going to finish until october 2022 and the pfizer one until 22. So these trials are up nearly, all of them are in very, very early stages. So i think its a bit early for the other companies too, or anybody else to be saying it was doesnt work and well, among the stories still ahead for you the human side on cost of the nagornokarabakh conflict on it is a tough watch. Thoughts immediately after the break how do you price value . How do you value prices . For 10 years, money as the underlying measure, youre going to end up disappointed describing you need real money. But the real thing seems wrong to me. To shape out the attic and engagement equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. Although again, another district of the disputed nagornokarabakh region has been handed over to azerbaijan. The last armenian Soldiers Left the area as part of a russian brokered peace deal. Earlier before troops abandoned, their posts of millions fled the war zone. Arties moroccos the. It has the stories of some of those now made homeless by the conflict. Everywhere you go, there is only desolation, despair, empty, burnt, and abandoned villages. Rusty trucks piled with furniture, clothes and souls. Theres no one left but the awed, desperate stragglers so painful, unbearably painful, your entire life. You have been billed in step by step, trying to make it a little more comfortable so you get something good sound only a tool has just disappeared. Gun and her husband igor, for 17 years have made a living in the mountains raising cattle. When the barrow visited by john, the artillery became too much, they left everything but they shepherd, dog and fled. As did everyone they returned to find the village, empty bund and looted, littered with dead pets and animals who starved to death when the humans left. Those that survived came begging for food and will be filmed, limited to eagle for 3, desperate days as they try to salvage what they could of their old lives belongings. They feel even empty barrels, things that many of us would see as trash. Anything that would help them start over. Theres no choice for armenians to stay after the region has had to do that too. Is it about john . They claim it could be that death sentence. If a dog is killed on mistreated and europe, the whole world condemns it, what was our crime . And what did we do that . No one even objected to all the civilians been killed here, where all the humanitarian groups that a client file over animal cruelty, but have done nothing about the massacre here. Engine on a little, it was forced out of her home twice during the war in the ninetys, when both meenie a and as it about john accused each other of massacres and ethnic cleansing, the booth, denied that this is the 3rd time. Shes lost a house. She isnt a hateful person. Shes a teacher, a mother. Most people would burn their houses so no. Is it about johnny gets it . She couldnt stomach the thought. Yes. I dont want to burn down my house. If someone wants it, let them have it, even burn it for fun. My children were born in this house. They grew up on the this roof. I cant burn the memories. I cant burn that proud of my life. All the good and all the bad. It was all here. We are leaving tomorrow. But we dont know who will get the house to hell with them. Im here to bunny down with white town. Little it couldnt bear to watch. We found a weeping behind the house is the flies spread. What do you call this . Is it sad . Is it devastated . Having to burn down a house you built. You loved you tended and raised 3 children in 17 years because of the shape of your face, the color of your skin, your creed, your culture, your faith. Everyone here understands whats happening. This is the price i mean, eons of paying for backing doubts, accepting peace terms. Despite their resistance, the thousands dead may have prevented a massacre and preserve some territories. But for a little it in the eagle, it was the end of life as they knew it, everything they had nude burned and gone. Theres nothing comforting you can say nothing to ease or dulled the pain. Its terrible to think anyone driving but to them. This is just another house. They wont even bat an eye. After all, dozens and dozens of villages have burned over the past week. Of course, these isnt just another house. It had a life, it was happening soon, there was joy. There were tears and there was sadness. Now, its all over. More i guess the of, from caleb a jar region was headed by john. Meanwhile, the armenian Prime Minister says the Russian Peacekeeping mission could last longer than the 5 years proposed under the ceasefire with azerbaijan nichol also stressed. The importance of current ng security, instability in the region. Russia has sent additional to board 2 specialist equipment teams on patrol vehicles will assist earlier. Moscow supplied 45 tons of Building Materials to the capital to the plan occurred along with 300 tons of humanitarian aid. Russian de Mining Operation is underway to a lot of people to return to their homes. A German Energy official has accused the United States of a Pressure Campaign on European Companies involved in the north stream to gas pipeline. Last month, the Us State Department ramped up sanctions on firms to try and hold the project. We spoke to the head of the German Energy committee, who described washingtons behavior as more like its going to be for secret, affording only the currently u. S. Pressure over north stream to it has reached an unprecedented high. And its not tempted by the americans to lobby their economic interests to go behind the backs of their supposed partners. Actually this behavior reminds me of the matthew, matthew c, come to the restaurant and say, we must protect you. But if you dont pay for this, we will smash all your places. And its the same thing here. The americans say they protect us from the russians. But in fact, if we dont want this protection, we want to trade with the russians. We want russian gas, and then they say, if you dont let us protect you, we will kill you. In other words, they impose sanctions on companies, threaten them with economic collapse. And this is whats actually happening. But we must reject such methods, simply objecting to them is pointless. Only real action will help if you need to and other phone finance. But do you agree with union paris statement that this is all about undermining Europes Energy Security and an intrusion in an 8th independence. We cannot allow a country to dictate to us what to do with our own energy supply. This is not about our security. This is about the americans who want to sell us their liquefied gas shale gas that harms the environment. Moreover, that type of gas is more expensive. They have problems with sales. They have too much gas and prices a so low that its not profitable. And here they want to impose their gas on us. Of course, its way easier if we dont have an alternative. Thats why we avoid this, because otherwise we will be stripped of alternative, sellars, in my opinion, the pipeline will be finished. At the same time, i think for now the e. U. s key goal is its own sanctions against the u. S. My suggestion is simple. We introduce sanctions tariffs on american liquefied gas. They think they have a right to dictate to us where to buy gas. Well show them with a tit for tat move. We can do that then declare, how would that affect transatlantic boss . What do you mean if were talking about sanctions . They might make the americans realize that its unacceptable to treat us as a colony and that they better treated as an independent partner. Maybe theyll be a bit confused, but if they want to carry on trading with us and maintain economic ties and cooperation in different spheres, they will have to accept the fact that we have our own interests and that we follow them. Only this approach will lead us forwards any other to deadlock. Russia has also been critical of the us stance on nord stream to slamming it for all the for practices. Moscows rules died, giving up on the project despite america imposing fiscal penalties. And just a reminder, the gas pipeline project has mentioned liver russian gas directly to germany through the baltic sea and then on words to other european countries. From the said, washington has been trying to purge europe off the deal with the threat and implementation of sanctions. And accuse moscow of attempts to gain leverage over the e. U. Last year the us introduced further sanctions when the project was just miles short of being completed, we got the thoughts of austrias former foreign minister caryn knesset. Last dream too is a business project. I have always said you dont build a pipeline and in order to annoy somebody or to please somebody, its all about supply and demand. Unfortunately, this business project has become a political topic. In general, its difficult to, to separate your politics from very Important Oil and Gas Infrastructure is this is a given. We have seen those all over the world. And its regardless whether we speak of Gas Pipelines between and between germany and the russian federation, or whether we speak about large infrastructure projects, which ever company does it in the middle east. It always has a political dimension, no doubt about that. But nevertheless, its not up to search parties to get involved to the degree that we have been going with small stream to over the last 2 or 3 years. We have seen, ever since trying to thwart a desire by us industry to, to have a foot in the door and this has definitely increased with the drug administration. And im pretty sure what you and next Us Administration will stick to this goal months and months. All and still no sign of a closure to the covert crisis with scientists still unsure what the best response to the pandemic actually years. Dont you, hawkins has been looking at the options. Its almost a year since the coronavirus entered our lives. And its in no hurry to leave everyones affected in some way. And everyone seems to have become what i was of our all of just over the last 11 months. But how well do you really know your facts . And what are the experts saying . Lets test your knowledge if theres one a symbol of 2020. Its the mosque from moscow to madagascar government. Some mandating Wearing Masks in one way or the other. Just days ago, a Scientific Study in denmark, concluded mosques all for little protection for healthy individuals. Study gives an indication of how much you gain from where in the mosque, not a lot. So when you finally throw that mosque away, not so fast. Heres a japanese study that states the opposite. We found that cotton masks, surgical masks, and 95 masks all have a protective effect with the respect to the transmission of infected droplets. Aerosols of sars cove to both studies are reputable, and published by qualified professionals. They just come up with different conclusions and thats the problem. When it comes to any research on covert, you can find a study that will prove all disprove almost anything. How long is a piece of string . Heres what the u. S. Center for Disease Control has to say earlier, a system surfaces and the objects nature alludes to within hours to do slightly ambiguous, but not a disaster. Until you read a study by strollers. National Science Agency which gives coded lifespan of 28 days in some cases. So i guess theres no right answer. Well, what about the incubation period . Heres a little clue. The in Commission Period youre referring to is anything can be anything between 1. 14 days. Commonsense 14 days is usually the maximum period. Most countries around the world have quarantined new arrivals. All those potentially infected. So we all know this one. Right seems i got that one wrong as well. Researchers at Trinity College dublin say the danger period could last up to 34 days. But lets get back to basics. We all know that smokers are more at risk of suffering complications from covert. Heres a study. Our study provides evidence supporting the utilization of Smoking Cessation programs, especially in younger populations, as part of a strategy to minimize the adverse consequences of the covered 1000 pandemic. Common knowledge. After all, we all know that smoking is bad for you. So is it time you put that cigarette out . Apparently some research is in france, this agree claiming nicotine is the answer. Just to be clear, we obviously dont condone smoking or drugs. So as we approach the one year mark in the covert by endemic the best Scientific Minds in the world are united in their mission, billions of dollars thrown into research. All we any closer to seeing the back of this disease. It seems despite all our best efforts that family get away
