Times its locked down amid one of the worst coded daily death tolls mulls a g. P. S. System to track infected people we put that idea a contentious one up for debate. The idea of g. P. S. Tracking people is for the birds theyll never implement in time anyway weve got to get back to work but you wont know because theyll be nothing to come back to if we let this continue much longer im worried that were we are storing up lots of problems for ourselves weve got to get out of this quickly and the way to do it is to keep these restrictions going get people vaccinated. L. A. Good morning from moscow then this january the 29th kevin 0 in here for the next 30 minutes the latest from the international. Moscow sent hundreds of thousands of doses of its sputnik the vaccine to. To the america as the region increasingly bets on the russian job for argentinos a 3rd delivery of the russian shot with 5000000. 00 doses in total expected by the end of the month live is receive 20000. 00 doses the u. N. Secretary general has said the sport they can play a key role in fighting the virus as the e. U. Suffers huge delays and shortages from other vaccine manufacturers. Reports. News on Vaccine Distribution challenges delays in deliveries you may be sick and tired of it but this is the reality around the world even the trust between the countries is being put to the test as the scramble for vaccine doses intensifies concerns over how castro governments and regions like latin america will be able to secure enough jobs for their nations in time are even more serious the ultimate remedy for it is more vaccines cheaper vaccines this explains why the head of the un is counting on the russian vaccine and wants to get the green light for it asap we hope to double it sure would prove russias covered 1000 vaccine and soon as possible it can play a very Important Role in the fight against the pandemic it seems though for some latin american countries waiting for the final w. H. O. Approval may prove to be way too costly while corona virus infections in russia are pivoting bag down skepticism for sputnik v. Has all but vanished demand is on the up and moscows keen to help. The 1st shipment of the russian jabbers only intended 420000 bolivian medics but its still crucial for those on the covert front line the 1st 20000 doses of the vaccines have arrived in bolivia to stop the 2nd wave of the covert 19 pandemic the bolivian president luis r. Say has personally welcome to shipment at the International Airport eventually. Bolivia will get enough sputnik 3 doses to immunize 2600000 people the president wants to cement confidence in the vaccine by getting the job to. The russian creation is set to become v. Most used vaccine in mexico and the 1st 3 months of this year and the country that is just about to certify the use of sputnik the january house proved to be disastrous with the worst spike ever in new covert cases the president tested positive last week but the leader is happy has been able to seal the deal with moscow to immunize 12000000 people we spoke with the president of the Russian FederationVladimir Putin and he was genuine and cool deal i invited him to visit mexico and thank him for the decision to send us 24000000 doses of the sputnik the vax and over the next 2 months. Argentina was the pioneer in trying out sputnik among latin american countries the 1st jabs arrived and when osiris at the end of december and after getting the data on side effects only one percent of those who received the shot have some sort of issues but us artist went on to order 22000000 doses with the latest batch having just arrived the president and the Vice President have both taken the russian vaccine argentina has been dubbed the global testing ground for moscows vaccine drive well so far so good and the infamous curve in the country has gone past its peak in the country with more people bucks in the. Total. We could see in the percent of the workers because we have only. Seen in the theaters in the use much now we are receiving 5000000 more of those and when. Lead the bucks initial roll around with 25000000. 00 used for. The trend is more and more evident you probably shouldnt shy away from what they call walk or not also in spanish if you want a quicker escape from the red zone for your country here will talk of spanish spain lets focus on the e. U. Facing drastic shortages of its coronavirus shots as our next door in fact 2 of spains biggest regions of even halted their vaccination campaigns all together and officials blame the bloc we must stand up to brussels and demand more doses we need more vaccines and more tests and everything that distracts from this task will prolong the fight against the virus the cattle and madrid regions of used up almost all the doses now at the moment with remaining vials needed to give 2nd shot to those who already had the 1st word that ruins government plans to inoculate most of the population by june and the head of the countrys vaccination association told us this shortage is nationwide so. The number of doses were receiving has been significantly reduced the vaccine is not being delivered to the raid that we anticipated its a real problem for the National Vaccination plan and it means a ton of us regions will have to review their strategies the supplies we do have will be needed to give 2nd doses to those who have already started the vaccination process so we will not be able to knock you are very vulnerable and increase groups that were identified in the original plan its a difficult and uncomfortable situation a similar picture is playing out across the you were just 2 percent of people to be vaccinated so case in point the Czech Republic having stopped inoculation altogether for 2 weeks now because of a lack of doses back to the spanish chief again saying brussels should have secured early supplies from these pharma giants. Yes i do not like the lack of transparency as regards to the contracts that the European Union has concluded with pharmaceutical companies we dont know what we dont know the Purchase Price we dont know anything at all and i think thats wrong of course were concerned that apparently in those countries didnt purchase vaccines had a higher price than the European Union have not experienced such doing delivery we are not at all satisfied with the current situation. So the different acts still on track of this story mt locked riots in lebanon given to the 5th day triggering triggered by radical restrictions including around the clock a few earlier this week at least one person killed more than i think around 220 injured so far with Security Forces and the army reportedly using live ammunition at some of these protests. So some of the backstory that this fall its comes amid a buckling Health Care System and a sharp rise in poverty code with its economy riots has vandalizing and setting fire to a number of buildings in lebanon the 2nd largest city tripoli thats where these pictures are from the screen monger probably destroyed their whole demonstrators pelting police and soldiers with stones and molotov cocktails most usually seen with these things then Security Forces trying to get a handle on it responding with tear gas and rubber bullets but you also heard at times life fire demonstrations began after authorities extended the law for the 2 weeks that had been preceded crucially by an 11 day round the clock if you really heavy care of you there this month and maybe that was the catalyst for a lot of these tensions in a city already struggling with high unemployment and poverty gender so much bridgehead reporting next that from the scene for you. A little bit about it the way lead at this any does the 4th day of the protests in. Tripoli a lot of protesters have gathered to trying to march to the local Administration Building and storm it as happened on previous days Security Forces are using tear gas grenades to stop the protesters but its not stopping some of the protesters from throwing the grenades into the windows of the provincial headquarters some officers have been hurt as a result of protesters have been dispersed from the square with tear gas and some of them are trying to hide in the surrounding areas the Lebanese Army has surrounded the area but for now the army is not taking any action right now the situation is stable there are some small clashes from time to time it seems like the army is waiting for serious clashes to get involved some time ago it used armed forces to on block the roads selfies of tripoli. The head of the Lebanese Red Cross says the countrys coat right now between fighting coded plunging incomes. Theres that many areas you want to do it and you do that there have to get back we got a call and all regulation and the people are fighting for any gardening they need to be there to help them to see how we can manage them and then we live and to help their families today no hospital pull in and they are going up up there and you have made to put them back youll. Be in and they have we had a paving a lot of problems then to get it to imagine what it costs you are going to be here to be in the field and to help all the community between all because you get that bill there were on board by prominent well known of course and majority of from the community one. Of the countrys affects cracking down on trips abroad now in the u. K. Travelers will now be turned back at the border if they cant prove that their trip is absolutely essential the home secretary pretty for tell clamping down after britains 2nd highest ever kovar daily death toll the rules are clear people should be staying at home unless they have a valid reason to leave going on holiday is not a valid reason further britains also announced new rules for travel from what he calls high risk countries the original plan was 22 its up to 30 now people flying from 30 listed nations must quarantine in a government approved hotel at their own expense and there are calls to go further as well with the top officials announcing a mass failure to follow rules not just borders and monitoring new strains but time to fix the biggest flaw in our current strategy the milly that 3 quarters of those with symptoms do not sulfites only. Jeremy hunt wants g. P. S. Tracking through peoples mobile phones to make sure they self isolate he cited poland and taiwan as successfully using the policy of colleague nick here and put this whole controversial idea up for debate but lets know your thoughts thought to be their proposal for g. P. S. Tracking what do you think of that. Or just the i guess im not sure i mean i think its a bit over the top really i think what we havent done through all this process is get out test trace and isolate work if you want to get a domestic market economy back on the up and running you do australia or new zealand have done 0 cove in the got 0 go bit by chance in their borders good tech to test trace and isolate by quarantine and by providing support for people into isolation what weve got what weve got to do is weve got to accept that this disease will exist that this disease is probably not going to be seasonal forever we have got to protect the elderly and the vulnerable and britain has done incredibly well with the Vaccination Program but in terms of people who are not clinically vulnerable those people need to be sent back to work and we certainly need to open up the schools the idea of g. P. S. Tracking people is for the personnel never implemented in time anyway we know that most of the introductions of the virus into the u. K. During the 1st wave of the pandemic and indeed you in the 2nd were travelers returning from mainland europe and i think it might be too late now but nevertheless we are faced with a new virus variants and i guess this strategy is to try and stop the introduction of these more worrying variants of the virus that has been in all of piety with the British Government well no matter how crazy the idea is somebody comes along and says they want an even more crazy and draconian rule broadhead we have let these people run absolutely right and what has happened we are the Public Sector debt is now 2. 13 trillion in december we borrowed 38000000000 pounds hes absolutely bananas weve got to get back to work weve got to get back to work now because theyll be nothing to come back to if we let this continue much longer while thats most of thats ridiculous isnt it so were going to let all these early people die out we were going to let this virus spread and there in fact is donated by the 50 vaccinated by the 15th century as you well know as making. An assumption the vaccines are going to work and theyre going to sort of transmit your make you make you know something that the economy can exist if you lock it down for here just to find out you might not worry about other people the n. H. S. But i do i my backgrounds in cancer and im worried that where we are storing up lots of problems for ourselves weve got to get out of this quickly and the way to do it is to keep these restrictions going get people vaccinated but its still going to take months for that to have an effect thats the oil that you might not stand the biology of the religion thats the bothered you the situation the point here ace there is that scientists are going far too far what you need in any society is a balance between risk takers and people who are risk averse the bowmans the only concern that we have is about the spread of the virus the only concern we have is about the perception of the actress no concern is being given to the future economic wellbeing of this country no concern has been given to the Mental Health of young people no concern hes been given about how valuable his country will be after youve rocked that doesnt cost you more you know were going to have to learn some very serious lessons this will not be the last pandemic and i think we and many other countries were not alone in this were not prepared for this we learnt some hard lessons over march and april but we have did far too much we didnt delay got that balance wrong we need to stop the banks and only about the medical issue and we need to start seeing it in the wider context and accept that britain does need to continue as a country and the has to be a balance between keeping people safe and also maintaining the wealth and livelihoods and educate should all of this country yeah this pandemic drug exam on china is pretty long as never well still in the midst of it how other countries affected dealing with it numerous u. S. States long term restrictions despite a surging u. S. Death toll why whats the thought they are not to take you through it after the break. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation or community. Are you going the right way or are you being led. By. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Aura maybe in the shallows. Join me every thursday on the alec simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Good morning this is out International Live from moscow this hour so next the u. S. Is registering some of its highest daily death tolls with the virus with more than 79000 victims this month alone yet that isnt stopping some states from lifting code restrictions with that news this morning donald quarter for ati. Joe biden entered the white house masks a blazing with an executive order that promised to shut down the coronavirus but barely a week in and hes already backpedaling nothing we can do to change the trajectory the president make in the next several months not exactly reassuring especially since that trajectory is given the us the worlds highest covert death toll with january seeing record mortality over 79000 cases and the white house is projecting as many as 90000 more deaths in the next 3 weeks its one thing to hear the statistics heres the medical reality honestly the hospitals here will be on the edge of collapse but kind of in disaster mode right now were going to go through it dark things are really really bad this is among the worst fears that weve not a pretty picture but thats not stopping states from dropping their lockdown measures california just ended its statewide stay at home order citing a decline in new cases and hospitalizations on the east coast of massachusetts lifted its curfew and businesses can stay open late again even in the hardest hit state new York Governor Andrew Cuomo is lifting restrictions hes declared an end to the postholiday surge and is assigning guilt to some incompetent government kills people but quote most critics are calling that an overdue admission his incompetence killed soon a citizens. Kudos to him for publicly acknowledging that he is running an incompetent State Government kind of shocked he would throw himself under the bus like that wow he has some nerve to say this one just needs to look at the new york death rate compared to other states it is a disgrace largely due to his decisions on Nursing Homes as cuomo and other governors give the green light to end cold restrictions biden is embarking on his war with the coronavirus for pandemic fatigued americans really needing some direction right now it hardly seems like their leaders are marching to the same drop the hospitals are at their at their limits there are hospitals that have people in the hallways or hospitals that are turning people away there are ambulance to get an ambulance in certain parts of Los Angeles County is taking hours for emergency situations it is an emergency scenario in lots of places including Southern California and for the governor to turn a blind eye. I think is actually very problematic so this needs to be treated as an emergency situation because the point at which the big data show otherwise and were not quite there yet so while the numbers are slightly better than they were say a week ago seems very clear that there is still a lot of reason for concern and reason for caution. The u. S. Has issued its 1st ever National Terrorism bulletin on domestic extrude this call them a threat to the government information suggests that some ideologically motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of Governmental Authority and the president ial transition as well as of the perceived grievances fueled by full. Could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence. The document doesnt mention any specific Anti Government plot but claims radicals may be emboldened by this months capital riots to attack government facilities officials earlier rivera editorial director of the direction the times online news site face this warning will be used for sweeping curbs on conservatives is a government trying to justify you know future or i guess the restrictions on you know lets say conservatives or republicans gathering to protest or to you know just come together against the agenda of the Current Administration is this is like a sign of things to come but were going to move towards a more statist kind of society in america under President Biden were seeing it in a lot of different ways because in addition to governmental actions were seeing big tax obviously with the way that theyve all locked down and they are conservatives you know you have a president from cant even use twitter anymore and you cant use other social Media Outlets and youre seeing conservatives get banned left and right i mean reactionary times weve lost our you tube channel and i have no idea why that would have happened because it wasnt like we were out there motivating people to take any sort of violent actions but i think right now because there is just old tally of power consolidated amongst the left were going to see a lot of strange things happen. Or a will finally before we go to pay tribute you may know the way its a legendary broadcaster an ati host larry king of course died last saturday at the age of 87 were going to show you next from his last ever interview given to us because rick sanchez shortly before his death if you dont watch the full conversation its later on today on both r.

Or a maybe in the shallows. Hello welcome to sophie because visionaries me Sophie Shevardnadze what makes us human so peculiar and why do we seek answers to the toughest questions will i ask. Theoretical physicists smallish used in film lost over a 3rd of the island of knowledge. Reseller lazar theoretical physicist cosmologist philosopher author of the island of knowledge great to have you with us marcello welcome my pleasure my pleasure to be here so eager for an argument that reality as will pierce is always limited by our knowledge of it which is also always known that it so once had his knowledge then is it accumulate personal experience about something or in there be more to it yes so i think thats a group good and difficult question i think you can think of knowledge in different ways right and they depend on the context so for example you can have experienced all knowledge of the World Without any sort of scientific background so you know there is they know there is night you know you know theres winter you know there is some a and so that is knowledge you know and its based on the experience of being alive and of of being out in the world and we humans all kind of share some some level of that knowledge depending where you live but then you also have more specialized kinds of knowledge and that will depend on this missile is ation so i jolly just will have knowledge which is based on his or her knowledge of rocks and how the county plates move and an astronaut who know about spaceships and how to space walk so knowledge really is an accumulated amount of information that we have vetted over time to be reliable right there is the good kinds of knowledge there is also the best kinds of knowledge like false knowledge and disinformation and so to a certain extent you can think of
