With r. T. Is going underground show roger waters shares his thoughts on the joe biden presidency. Its been reelected it would have been worse for everyone in the world but that doesnt make a good candidate. Either thanks for joining us this is r. T. International. Moscow has become the 1st russian city to start mass vaccination the country. Made freely available to citizens high risk groups including doctors and teachers are 1st in line to get the drug prices daily infection rate has spiraled now 29000. 00. Of a visited the place where the job is manufactured. We define a company you think its one of the surprises thats received the governments. First criticism think kareen is our respect c. If my production has already started here lets take a sputnik the is a too short adenovirus based effects of exene 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 the remind me of a scene is being told here that its being done this particular line for jay says 6000. 00 times but our living says hes 1000 doses per hour as each bottle containing 5 days is called by few minutes to be boxing day said my before taking a coronavirus vaccination everyone is examined to make sure theyre healthy that it takes another 15 minutes to store the vaccine sputnik vs stored at minus 18 degrees c. And developer 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 was 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 the text saying that i can be one of the 1st for the vaccination im so glad and i trust the vaccine to your 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 militarys receiving sputnik of 80 in russia they coded 1000. 00 jobs 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 vaccination is probably the only way now to put an end to the pandemic. Who we spoke with a russian scientist who was among the 1st people to get the job in moscow he told us why the country was able to start. So soon melissa 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 the gym is not big deal and this is what a true have this explains these high speed of development and actually to meet it as it is a fundamental scientists that this is this is a nightmare just if occasion for 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 do to get the shot. United kingdom is also poised to roll out a mass vaccination in wales plans have been unveiled to issue special id cards for those getting the injection the personal immunization i. D. s will include the maker of the vaccine the date its received and the number itll be used as a reference and reminder for the 2nd job with guidelines in case of any side effects however despite the fischel in the public vaccinations will not be made mandatory the id plans have made some uneasy and very worried about the system of id cards to be given to those who have had covert action in wales one step away from mend it to a 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 id 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 see the official whos overseeing the vaccine rollout in england has admitted while its not obligatory there could be societal pressure to that its an issue that we discuss with a panel of guests. The idea to somehow having a cold that you mean its actually it 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 home 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 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 stuff and then we can get back to vaccinate 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 is 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 for me 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 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 to even operate under them that it produces proteins that mimic the bat virus and we dont know what the downside. 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 in 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 sad sad making an id card why did she wasnt very protests is that necessary until you think that were going to see really 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 certificate was old saxon ation is required then it does become sublimate month round tree and that is a a great concert. Pink floyd cofounders roger waters is the latest guest on aunties going underground ship and he shares the his views on the chances of joe biden pardoning whistleblower in chief Julian Assange and then doing time selfstyled deal of the century the full interview will be aired on r. T. Throughout the day for now has a taste. 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 grating 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 the v. 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. Term of 8 or of them having any power under any circumstances because they are clearly not clear thinkers they clearly dont believe in human rights they clearly have no interest in the law they 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 have been completely impartial you have campaigned for upholding of Un Security Council revolution resolutions all your life you dont expect biden to reverse the trump position on the Golan Heights the illegal declaration by the United States into opposing Un Security Council resolution making out that it was israeli. No of course not i dont expect him to. Reverse any of that nonsense i expect him to absolutely abide by the deal of the century obviously im pretty happy the skinny piece of. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman is a car of a has accused the us of political aggression and 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 play 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 all despite all the u. S. Attempts to stop the project construction of the pipeline restarted at the weekend permission for work in the german waters of the baltic sea it was obtained from the German Federal office for shipping and hydrography millstream to is close to completion with the pipeline already 94 Percent Completed. 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 i think 1st and foremost its an economic come to prize the 2 states russia and germany committed to and the Country Partners should be allowed to act as they have agreed on i think the mandolin especially by the us is over the top. U. S. Sanctions on north stream to now include asset freezes a ban on transactions on visa restrictions right before work re commenced the u. S. Congress approved a bill that includes expanded sanctions against the pipeline well among them restrictions for Companies Providing insurance for firms that work with Welding Equipment steam to is an 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 from russia to germany every year we spoke with journalist Thomas Fassbender about the future of the project under the incoming us of ministration. 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. 00 euros in the baltic sea for nothing but of course the u. S. Also or at least u. S. Administration. Continues to pressure the project 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 trunk 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 and not only to germany and it at an early stage of his presidency. Case accused the United States of with vision is a move a new green card lottery rolls that described russians living on the korean island as japanese stan story after the parade. A little. Backscatter financial survival god lets. Try getting a miracle on. Greece some say for the fight fraud thank you for. The story thats true. Slavery. Seemed wrong. Just dont all. Get to shape out. To educate and in. The trail. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Welcome back the u. S. State department has decided that russians living on the islands are in fact japanese at least if new green card lottery rules are to be believed and not amused. 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. Today the Us State Department questions the outcome of world war 2 inspiring russia is furious it sees the cruel as its territory as it sees the islands back in 1905 or rather the soviet troops but the talk of it disagrees and it 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 ok for washington they have no questions this is what the official instruction for green corridor lottery also known as diversity visa says persons born in the one line islands she could can assure ian at a row who are charitable to japan persons born in south or civilian 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 island is home to around 20000. 00 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 and 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 u. S. And the u. K. That in exchange for sending soviet troops there it will get the colonels silence so this is the story and heres a short clip for our viewers to better understand the issue. Ringback. And by the way its a very beautiful place 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. In executive Vice President of the Eurasia Center says that america 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 i 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 the titular 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 democrats eyes and now on to senate seats in georgia the state the seal joe bidens victory they need them to get full control of the house and thus deliver on the promises made on the campaign trail the democrats divisions are starting to emerge over some of those promises hes done cortex plates. 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 in 1960 s. 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 defund 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 pussy game and only did was make them easier 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 Administration appointment its the citys democratic mayor and hes less than popular with black lives matter its a damn shame sound one has failed the everest of transportation and house listeners and now they think of putting him on National Level to be in charge of any of it 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 do become reality at the end of the day in the democrats best interest to come together.

Hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered on Peter Lavelle joe biden may indeed be inaugurated in january of next year however will he have a legitimate mandate will the next Campaign Start when the next president takes office and the new liberal order is headed back into power what will be their agenda. To discuss this and more im joined by my guest george samueli in budapest he is an author and a youtube or at big apple and here in moscow we crossed him maxine he is an expert at the Russian InternationalAffairs Council originally crossed out rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i was appreciate it ok lets go to georgia in budapest. In looking at the Election Results or how would the Election Results are being presented to the to the public and the worlds here i cant help but get the feeling that if this had happened in any other country in the world the United States would have stepped in or made a lot of noise about democratic norms and demanding a recount and all of this kind of thing here but they dont because its happening to themselves you know its just an interesting critique about how democracy is spoken about and practiced in the United States and how it spoken about and practiced internationally go ahead george yes that would be right because everything that is normal life since the election although its. Being. Rotating. Balls be changed arbitrarily. And unconstitutionally in order to make essential a 1000000 voting they place without any of the checks that was supposed to be in place if any of this have happened in russia say the state department will allow them to be remain at the document was it would already be imposing sanctions on russia well all the phony election so. Exactly right. And we dont even have to talk about. What would happen to all the countries i mean if they had been a donald trump who had become out with the glad the when the having posset 107 the electoral college
