Giants betting on his collapse. A very warm welcome you watching r. T. International with me if you are in. The European Union has announced its import imposing export controls on coronavirus vaccines made in Member States a measure of rao over supply shortages brussels has also just given the green light to the drug at the heart of the dispute made by a british astra zeneca arties that showed you penske has the story. European union has confirmed that its taking this extraordinary step of introducing export controls all it could get vaccines this means that any vaccine that is manufactured within the block thats the 22nd at countries will be able to be exported outside of the block that this comes amidst a huge drug thats been blowing up of the last few days over that delivery shortfalls of the dose of this negotiation concerns to the fence potency and export of it for 90 minutes each. As a protection and safety of our citizens is apparently. B. P. That is companies that increase production and not me expects and it didnt work well for this huge public spat thats been playing out over the last few days and it really comes down to the call that this is between European Union and astra zeneca as you mentioned and gloom swedish palm a company thats been producing one of the could be 1000 back saying its now astra zeneca has said that it wouldnt be able to supply the full amount that it takes agreed on paper with the European Union saying that it was actually going to be delivering around 25 percent of the 100000000. 00 doses it then sent to the European Union local trying to preach that at to about 30 percent but the e. U. Has rejected this saying that that offer just wasnt acceptable and that they needed to fulfill the contract theyve even gone as far as on friday publishing a redacted version of all thought contact between themselves and astra zeneca from their perspective they want to show that that contract has been broken now astra zeneca says thats not the case the u. K. Signed its contract with astra zeneca 3 months before the e. U. Didnt put astra zeneca says that you know its trying to make up the shortfall and its a little table too because the production issue at its vicinity in belgium now this comes at mits the. Investigators were even sent to astra zeneca as production plant in belgium to check to see if it actually was a problem with the production and miss rumors that some vaccine had been shipped to the United Kingdom now one german m. P. s said this entire spat is astra zeneca is fault astra zeneca will suffer if they treat people in the worlds biggest market as 2nd class citizens this is also now likely to cause problems for the United Kingdom which of course recently officially net the European Union formal breaks it 8 was expecting at delivery of some cool t. 1000000 doses of the pfizer biomed tech vaccine that are being produced also to facility in belgium there is now question as to whether that vaccine would be allowed to leave the European Union and go to the u. K. As it was originally planned now the e. U. Has been struggling to obtain enough vaccine doses despite placing huge orders over the last year or so so much so that some areas of europe are either having to delay the rollout of the program or having to hold to temporarily all together it really feels as if protectionism is now being ramped up in essentially what is turning into a war over access to a drug and a vaccine that is supposed to prevent 19. Moscow has sent hundreds of thousands of doses of his sputnik v. Vaccine to latin america as the region increasingly beds on the russian job for argentina its a 3rd delivery of the russian salt with 5000000 doses in total expected by the end of the month but livia has received 20000. 00 doses the u. N. Secretary general has said sputnik he can play a key role in fighting the virus as the e. U. Stuff is huge delays and shortages from other vaccine manufacturers. 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 e. U. Countries is being put to the test as the scramble for vaccine doses intensifies concerns over how cash strapped 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 the w. H. O. Will approve russias covered 1000 vaccine as soon as possible it can play a very Important Role in the fight against a 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 scheme 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 to bolivia. And president luis r. Se has personally welcome to shipment at the International Airport eventually bolivia will get enough sputnik the 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 very 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 leaders 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 the 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 had some sort of issues but us loudest 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 dr 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 name. How we could see the percent of the workers because we have only. Seen in. Send the use much now we are receiving 5000000 more and with. The bucks initial round with 25000000. 00 used or join 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. A video game retail in the us has found itself at the center of a trading battle with small time investors pitting themselves against wall street giants game stops or its share price thought this week after amateur traders got together to on online Message Boards and agreed to save the struggling company and then plunged after Brokerage Firms intervened restricting trading although its since recovered but that market intervention caused an outcry among small investors who accused the Trading Platforms of defending the big investment banks who were trying to crash the stock arties dimitry park takes a closer look. So by now youve probably heard of the whole wall street game stop credit fiasco but if youre one of the many people whose mind goes completely numb when you hear the words stock hedge fund short selling well dont worry heres a short teal the our version of whats going on game stop its a chain of Video Game Stores some people love him some people hate him but their business has been kind of badly melvin capital a bunch of guys from wall street who have formed a hedge fund that essentially makes money off of businesses failing stocks or shares representations of ownership of a company so if a company is doing well then the cost of these stocks are shares goes up if its failing they go down so in this case a bunch of guys from wall street in a hedge fund decided to make a bet that game stop will fail which it kind of was already they did this using a term called short selling its basically when you borrow a bunch of stuck sell it which lowers the price of the stock then wait for it to become dirt cheap buy it back return it to whoever you borrowed it from and while up profit this was supposed to be the stop in game stop but they must then really go according to plan a bunch of crazy guys from reddit essentially decided to give the middle finger to wall street they did this using whats called a short squeeze they started buying a bunch of game stop shares which made their price skyrocket like thousands of percent and now these poor Hedge Fund Guys have to return all that stock they borrowed and a huge loss theyre going bankrupt because they lost billions of dollars and wall street is very mad so are the politicians behind them but the internet sees this whole thing as karmic justice because wall street has been playing this game for literally years hence all the means. Being the sore losers that they are wall street is now trying to make a point that regular people should not be allowed to buy or sell stock only wall street robinhood in online stock Trading Platform has already barred its users from buying any more game stuff shares and now theyre getting sued regular people are just now buying bad stocks all over the place and adding more fuel to the fire celebrities and politicians are also joining in on the fun the moral of the story seems to be that if wall street wants to screw over businesses and make billions of dollars well thats fine thats this as usual but if regular people want to do the same thing to wall street well weve got a problem next kinds a host a fox hes kinds are a poor as they say this morning investors assets should be praised folkways exposing be questionable practices of big world street traitorous. So what these traders have done what these reddit traders have done is exposed or shine a light on the illegal practices of hedge funds and this should have been addressed many years ago because it be objective of hedge funds like melvin capital which is associated with citadel that has on their board ben bernanke the former fed chairman is to put these companies out of business and to profit on their collapse and that of course doesnt help the economy at all and people lose jobs so we have to applaud their reddit and the wall street bets people for bringing back some law and order and some equilibrium to these markets theyre doing the absolute right thing and we need to support them if we believe in free markets and if we believe in capitalism if we dont and the objective is price fixing and to go to a command and control economy in america then thats what were going to end up with if we let hedge funds dominate the price discovery and engage in this massive price fixing that the reddit people have exposed. Still ahead of me when i see us state things look down restrictions despite a surging u. S. Death toll well get reaction on that off to this short right. Seem wrong. But ill. Just. Let me. Get to shape out of the attic. And engage with. The trail. When some find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Thats amazing that everything that we learn about the world sits not right so as we learn more and more because we are learning more and more. Now as any good the island is surrounded by an ocean in this case is the ocean. Of stuff we do not know. Of learning and this is why the point is that the island grows. And what is not known is also growing. Welcome about that weve been paying tribute throughout the week to legendary broadcast on doxy host larry king who died on saturday at the age of 87 he gave his last of interview to aussie americas rick sanchez but heres some of the full conversation which you can watch straight off to this Bulletin Boards describe yourself to me and to just about everybody as a kid from brooklyn thats where i was i mean i think what it means is rick i never forgot where i came from and thats true to this minute i never forgot where i came from so im 85 years old but im the kid from brooklyn and thats what i brought to the business being curious born to do interviews where i was born to be what i do i didnt go to college. My brother did. A more canal street in new york and a friend introduces me to james shermans who was chief of staff announcers at c. B. S. Wonderful man. And i said to him i want to get in a radio what should i do. And he said get down to miami and i knocked on doors in small station. In miami beach gave me a job was a dish. And on may 1st 19. I saw. From that moment when that light went on. I told the audience it was my 1st day. Never never never live your yes i. I found my magic. Media a long time. To use one of the few channels. I do you know. My country the greatest show on earth tell the truth. The u. K. Is cracking down on trips abroad travelers will now be turned back at the border if they can provide a valid reason for travel the home secretarys announcement comes after britains 2nd highest daily death toll from coated 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. Or persons also announced new rules for travel from what it calls a high risk countries people flying from 30 listed nations must quarantine in a government approved hotel at their own expense yet there are calls to go even further with a top official denouncing a mouse failure to follow the rules not just borders and monitoring new strains but time to fix the biggest flaw in our current strategy namely that 3 quarters of those with symptoms do not sell fights only jeremy hunt wants to use g. P. S. Tracking 3 peoples mobile phones to make sure they self isolate he started poland taiwan successfully using the policy well i discussed that idea with all guests but lets know your thoughts on the their proposal for g. P. S. Tracking what you think of that. Or just the i guess im not sure i mean i think thats a bit over the top really i think what we havent done through all this process is get out test race and isolate work if you want to get domestic market economy back on the up and running you do australia and 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 when the 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 it is that was donated by the 58 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 your make you know something that the economy can exist if you lock it down for here just to find out you know were going to have to learn some very seriousness and 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 debating 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 that the has to be a balance between keeping people safe and also maintaining the wealth and livelihoods of educated of this country. The u. S. Is registering some of its highest daily death tolls from the virus with more than 79000. 00 victims this month alone yet that isnt stopping some states from lifting covert restrictions of artes dont quarter report. 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 fear is 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 post holiday 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 drum the hospitals are there at their limits there are people who 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 where the governor to turn a blind eye to that. 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 it seems very clear that there are still a lot of reason for concern and reason for caution. The u. S. Has issued his 1st ever National Terrorism bill that said on domestic extremists calling 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 snarks ifs could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence. The document does not mention any specific antigovernment plots but claims radicals may be emboldened by this months capital riots to attack government officials and facilities its all real direct the reaction every time some online news site phase this morning will be useful sweeping cuts on conservatives the government trying to justify you know future or i guess all restrictions on you know lets say conservatives or republicans gathering to protest or to just come together against the agenda of the Current Administration does this look 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 censored 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 theres just told power consolidated amongst the left were going to see a lot of strange things happen. Well coming up as promised the final interview given by the late broadcast legend he hosts larry. King on the phone one smoke i dont like coming for them and then mark them up on the limb or form blooms you know demos done a lot of photos and stuff to get a. Lot of the ball but just that they had just a moment. She was even. In this room. Jungle bar from the sun no money to go to the british course theres been a member of the. I mean youve got. To. Take. My mask guys are one for my guide to financial survival this is on a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. Thats right these hedge funds are simply not accountable and were just getting more and more to that. Totally destabilize the Global Economy you need to protect yourself and get in for a while because we. He wore suspenders. Never. The same with you. Youve always described yourself to me and to just about everybody as a kid from brooklyn thats where i was i mean means of a kid from brooklyn who. Walked the streets with my friends and who always wanted to be on the air i dont know why but i was transcripts radio and i was that little poor kid we were on relief my father had died when i was in. New york city bought my 1st pair of glasses i think what it means is rick i never forgot where i came from and thats true to this minute i never forgot where i came from so on 85 years old but im the kid from brooklyn i left brooklyn but brooklyn never left me so thats part of my soul thats and thats what i brought to the business being curious being that kid that went to dodger games all my friends would want to autographs i would want to ask questions i remember running down the street with call for oh you know means you get that on how do you learn to throw the 3rd base like that i was fascinated with asking questions born to do interviews where i was born to be what. This whole thing started in miami for you did Brooklyn Miami get us there i always wanted to get in the bookcase and i didnt go to college my brother did. A more canal on the street in new york and a friend introduces me to james sermons who was chief of staff announcers at c. B. S. Wonder
