Goodbye russia gate hello china gate u. S. Intelligence chief beijing the greatest threat to washington amid claims of spy infiltration. Youre watching the weekly here on r t a recap of the biggest stories from the past 7 days thanks for joining us. Paris was engulfed in renewed unrest on saturday over a security bill 142 people were detained amid clashes with police riot officers his water cannon and tear gas as the situation spiraled out of control has been huge anger over plans to protect Police Officers by handing them extra powers and boosting surveillance. Was at the rally for us. So we have seen the number of what i would describe the smash and grab spray the Police Members over the Security Forces go. In the crowds and crapping out individuals that they think of causing trouble with a buffalo detentions where a portals accept a whooping for the Police Officers who do so had she gas already deployed to add to gases being used directing from air assault sprays axe the protests. There are thousands and thousands i try to get a camera to see to look up the street which is completely packed and then if its possible to turn the camera around youll see how many people are still coming. Through that there were other demonstrations across the country as well all against the Global Security lord our people are unhappy with article 24 specifically this would have criminalized individuals who published images of the police if there was intent to harm that provoked huge theory here in front as a result parliamentarians are going to rewrite their specific rules but people are angry again dont just about that but also a new law that was approved by the french captain it here in the week and this also contains an article which is very very similar to the controversial article 24. 00 that is that it would become a criminal act to post images of somebody online if you paid them to fight and if there was intent to home so take out the word police and its essentially the same act and the police are also unhappy about some of the comments made by president mccollum in the last week he said in an interview that the police control. More people who are normally white than white expect a manual mccrone ends up telling the media that the police are racist i can guarantee my colleagues are not racist today is no racial control or even the Police Problem it unsecured upbringings the problem is that the police lock resources and personnel there are many things and when they are asked for help no one is listening on the other side with and criticize the police which i think is like a step in the back the police. Come to you go make sure you get out. Of the last piece right there is the critics out. There that think they are here. For people have been stabbed in washington d. C. During clashes between Trump Supporters and their opponents the victims are in Critical Condition of the outgoing president had rallied to denounce the election result were met by counter protesters similar scenes played out on the west coast in Washington State one person were shot and injured as rival protestors faced off police say a suspect has been detained they are trying to keep the sides apart using tear gas and stun grenades. That right there the. Russian and british scientists have agreed to combine forces and their back scenes in a bid to tackle the Global Pandemic astra zeneca says its ready to work with the developers of Russia Sputnik the. Today we announce a Clinical Trial program to assess safety and immunogenicity of combination of as a d 1222. 00 developed by just as a nick and Oxford University and sputnik v. Developed by Russian Research institute a Vaccine Developers hope that combining their drugs could lead to a better a munira spawns to the coronavirus and Clinical Trials will be held in russia and involve volunteers age 18 and over a job created by Oxford University and astra zeneca has shown at varying results depending on the dose with an average efficacy of 70 percent compared with sputnik vs results so far of over 90 percent. They have a problem vaccines efficacy isnt high enough this should be improved we have 2 different avenue viruses they will take one of them and use it as a booster like you are on College ProfessorLawrence Young says cross border cooperation will be vital in tackling the health crisis. I think its a fine stick opportunity to Work Together in developing a more effective vaccine and theres lots of evidence that when you mix and match different vaccine platforms you get stronger and longer lasting immune responses to our competition so this is fantastic news and i think it will. Raise confidence both in terms of the astra zeneca vaccine and also the sputnik vaccine it demonstrates that the power of scientists working collaboratively were all very keen scientists around the world to Work Together and work in collaboration and i think this will provide an excellent opportunity for the very best people working in the u. K. In the very best people working in russia to actually Work Together and i hope that one of the consequences of Something Like this is the longer term collaboration in other areas of science and medicine so i think its a very very important important day for us actually its very exciting. Off to has become the 1st russian city to begin a mask an Occupation Program thats about to be shot is being made available free of charge line workers including hospital and school staff will be 1st in line although for now its not being given to anyone over the age of 60 russias daily infection rate has reached 28000 cases the numbers have been steadily rising since september or this week r. T. Is english up of all of this is a company thats ramping up production of the vaccine. We are the 5 car company its a fetus in every way i am a different scene is being told here that if. This particular line case is 6000. 00 but our expert think 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 before taking a coronavirus oxidation everyone is examined to make sure theyre healthy but it takes another 15 minutes to store the vaccine sputnik these stored at minus 18 degrees c. And developer say thats an advantage compared to other countries that siemens requiring significantly lower temperatures for storage after the injection doctors monitor you for 30 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 actually 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 course i received that said saying that i can be one of the 1st for the vaccination im so glad and i trust the vaccine and the shutters dont you 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 they coded in 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 works a nation is probably the only way now to put an end to the pandemic. You know ship of our own see. This week the u. S. Appeared to shift its gaze away from russia and stead setting its sights firmly on china after u. S. Intel chiefs identified beijing as washingtons biggest threat it comes after a member of the u. S. Intelligence committee was targeted by a suspected chinese spy more girls to fix deeper. So trumps out and the russia gate thing is slamming shut behind him because theres a new scare story in town china you know it doesnt take long to dig up dirt in a town Like Washington q us democrat representative Eric Swalwell until now moved well this crist so far the evidence is on contradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the ukrainians to help achieve an election this time around its his links to a suspected chinese spy who is in the stink not least because and this is awkward he sits on the House Intelligence Committee not the only shall be removed from the intel he should be removed from congress as well yes House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy there sporting an opportunity to claim his 1st victim so the background in a nutshell swalwell hod a Chinese National called fang fag in his early political career and this person quickly started raising suspicions within the Intel Community he got rid of her but has recently refused to answer whether he slept with her which probably means yes but before we burn mr swalwell at the stake lets see you out might have to join him once this chinese witch hunt really Gains Momentum its got a feel for Mitch Mcconnell he survived the title most good mitch but can he now survive the fact that is wife secretary of transportation elaine chao is from one of chinas most prominent political families that would be one hell of a honey trap and you and jean shall have served on the board of the Holding Company for chinas teach to build in a state owned enterprise that makes chips for the chinese military. Is also on the board at the bank of china and top lender to the ship builder remember also the former speaker of the house john boehner aka the original orange man is there is the high. Republicans actually give john boehner a harder time than they give me. Which means orange really is the new black. These days the former speaker of the house just happens to be a lot b. S. For a certain peoples republic of china is this guy purdy chief Security Officer who are way the u. S. Is really china on a number of issues and they want to hurt one way to hurt china very afraid of the competition between china and the u. S. So theyre focusing on hurting while way before getting professionally agri for you our way for a living and you purdy was a member of the white house start team that helped draft the u. S. National strategy to secure cyberspace this is just the tip of the iceberg therefore the head of u. S. Intelligence has declared open season on beijing calling it threat number one if i could communicate one thing to the American People it is that the peoples republic of china poses the greatest threat to America Today and the greatest threat to democracy and Freedom Worldwide since world war 2 what they might find is that there arent many politicians left who dont have links to this new enemy because they used to be friends we is getting hard to keep up. Paying for it cofounder roger waters has been putting the world to rights on the latest edition of r. T. Is going underground among the targets in his science was the recent u. S. Election you can watch the full interview on our website but heres a small taste. 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 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 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 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 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 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. No. Longer in the white house pretending to film Foreign Policy for the middle east. Still had every american would get 3000. 00 if you ask billionaires shared all the profits they made during the pandemic thats among our stories after the short break. The world is driven by shaped by one person. Thinks. We dare to ask. Human history has always seen continuous war open source but in recent years it seems to have become more intense the platforming is no common practice and public scrutiny a permanent feature where do we all stand on the battlefield of beliefs. Welcome back to the weekly more americans have now died of covered the last. Fighting and world war 2 the death toll is now close to 3 100000 all the total number of cases exceed 16000000 and while the pandemic may be the countrys worst crisis and recent history doesnt stop the rich from getting richer and that worth of american billionaires has soared by one trillion dollars since march thats according to a new report theres tens of millions of americans suffer from the health and economic reva just over these pandemic a few 100 billionaires to their massive fortunes they are pandemic profits are so immense that americas billionaires could pay for a major covert relieve bill and still not lose a dime of their providers reaches the Campaign Group americans for tax fairness found that the extra wealth accumulated by billionaires during the pendency would be enough to dish out 3000. 00 to every single american thats roughly equal to the entire amount spent by the federal government on health care and 2019 and nearly 4 times more than the stimulus payments made earlier this year to 159000000 americans now the report included some 651 different billionaires and we can take a look at just a few of them how the wealthiest of course would be jeff bezos who is now worth over 180000000000. 00 which is more than the g. D. P. Of iraq elon musks wealth grew almost 6 fold during the pandemic while Mark Zuckerberg almost doubled his wealth musk and zuckerberg are worth more than 100000000000. 00 our guest debated profiting from a pandemic. Always love these kinds of analyses is it the government or is it dale 6 not going into drugs from the government theres nothing naive here the government isnt doing something then as a result the government is itself the result of the way this is cya the works which puts enormous wealth and therefore political power in the hands of a very small number of people who will turn out to have a government policy that makes them richer this burst of new wealth d is just as purely a product of government policy was unnecessary you know the unintended consequences of lockdowns and such and in this case they call them nonpharmaceutical interventions but theres also capacity limits on businesses are going to be almost the opposite of what were hoping for the draconian policies theyve increased the gap. Between the rich and poor that created new controversies of wealth is tremendous consolidation going on right now let me be clear here we could have been prepared for this virus the way other countries where we could have handled it better the way other countries had we left a lot of the private preparation for disease into the hands of private enterprise and markets and they failed as they have failed us so often in the past its a pathetic say heads glory of a system spinning out of control so that its unjust inequality keeps getting worse the governments inability to get anything right theyre going to do Everything Everything everything wrong in a crisis including decreasing employment crushing firms crushing the engine of employment. All those sorts of things never once even considering maybe thaksin should be lower i mean a brief on hiatus from certain regulations on that sort of thing we have a monopoly in this country that it for a century we have 2 parties we dont allow 2 businesses that dominate most of our industries but we allow these 2 parties to dominate our politics thats very convenient for the computer they the class of Corporate Directors who donate the bulk of. The money to both of them who pull the strings for both of. Us federal trade commission is pushing to break up facebook accusing it of Holding Illegal monopoly over the social media market its filed a lawsuit backed by 48. 00 states targeting facebooks acquisitions of instagram and whatsapp and so on host of r. T. Has been bust has more place book is really coming under fire now that it is facing an antitrust lawsuit from the states attorneys general of 48 different states across the United States the allegation thats being made in this lawsuit essentially states that facebook has violated the law and violated competitive behavior during its acquisition in the early 201314 of instagram and whatsapp at the time that facebook acquired instagram it had about 30000000 users today it has over a 1000000000 users worldwide at the time that it acquired facebook said that instagram wasnt really a competitor but today instagram has become very much a competitor to facebook and fully integrated into the facebook system for advertising Data Collection of users and even cross promotion of post heres what some of those states attorneys general had to say about the lawsuit today we are sending a clear and strong message to facebook and every other company that any efforts to stifle competition and hurt Small Businesses reduce innovation and creativity will be met with the full force of our offices the f. T. C. Filed their own lawsuit against facebook today as well. And we look forward to collaborating with them in the litigation process the states attorneys general are calling for an actual divestment of instagram and whatsapp what does that mean it means that if these states attorneys general when their lawsuit they would force facebook to actually sell off the assets of whatsapp and instagram a very big deal in the tech world. Several democrats have voice their opposition to joe bidens pick for defense secretary retired general lloyd austin will need a waiver from congress to take up the role arties point explains why. Not even that his own caucus is happy with joe bidens choice as secretary of defense lloyd austin hes black. And that is great. Well john youre right you very much at all since i retired 4 star general and that has raised a lot of lefty eyebrows. Since ignored the longstanding tradition of having a civilian at the helm of the most well unclipped fighting force in the world america its a great country were drinking it is agreed so alston actually needs a special waiver from cloned grass to take the job because he only retired in 2016 he hasnt been out of active service for the required 7 years no one seems to care that he spent the last 4 years on the board of a massive defense contractor called great. Deal with dollars fundamental was the most interesting thing about biden picking austin is that alston is the. One she implored to the world with. Pres taking to be secretary of defense is a little bit blurry by which i mean its not progressive everyone expected find until point michelle through and i as secretary of defense because shes actually experienced shes a civilian she tells the 3rd things seniors civilians drawn into pentagon under obama she was head of defense policy shes an expert on china next years wars going to be china and china china china china and yes shes a she but karma is a full show shes linked to defense contractors and shes presided over a hot mess in the middle east by a guy.

Paid 500000000. 00 to train a force of syrian fighters numbering people find its a small number. The ones that are in the fight. Were talking 445 but before you talk about how corrupt the democrats are if youre looking for someone to blame for this story state of affairs played the orange one i think it would have been a good general thats right donald trump started the trend of an ex general and said that. He is just heading up his own ministry when he appointed james mattis who had been on the board of another major defense contractor general dynamics. I disagree that the biden successor.
