Security service in undercover operations. One of the afternoon here now so very good day from russia my names kevin owen here at arties World News Center with this. For you great to have you company by the way not great news to start there im afraid were talking for the 1st few minutes of the program in france to set a new daily record with more than 16000 cases registered in the past 24 hours on wednesday the french government announced new measures than to contain the spread of the virus Health Authorities have set up graded danger levels to cover alert reinforced alert maximum alert zones areas with more than 150. 00 cases per 100000 people are shown in red while the worst hit areas with more than 250. 00 cases per 100000 mark dark red and face the strictest measures but Business Owners a few. The keys for lock down of course many have taken to the streets in paris warning they simply wont survive fresh closures bars and restaurants already been shut in a while in red zones like paris Opening Hours from next week when restricted to 10 pm as a said discontent is spiralling over it. I dont know if we can travel on the metro close to each other masked how is it that we cannot be in a bar or restaurant respecting the instructions and rules imposed after the all down rules that the vast majority of us packed. Support of the people of bring them all my friendship and solidarity it can happen to paris in a few days time and if they ask us to close we will no longer be able to return today we say let us work we want to be able to work we know how to work and we know what precautions to take. There are health rules to apply we apply them but on the other hand the government is bludgeoning us they are hitting us with this but you should know that they can hit even harder so today we are here calmly but it can quickly escalate. A lot of anger but french talk to mark told us without such measures in place the situation could turn even more disastrous. But densely populated places in big cities especially in bars and restaurants people can forget that they need to take precautions if you go to a bar or restaurant was such a high transmission risk you could then infect your family members with the virus so far we do not have a vaccine and the recommended measures are temporary and as the minister said they will be revised in 2 weeks if we do nothing it will lead us to a Public Health emergency when i hear what some politicians have to say i think we need to ask people who have been in intensive care they really know what we are talking about. Those fronts meantime britain could soon become the 1st country to carry a socalled challenge trials with a corona the Coronavirus Vaccine that would involve deliberately exposing volunteers to the live virus the Financial Times newspaper cites insiders working on the project saying the trials could start in january at a quarantine facility in london volunteers will reportedly receive a vaccine and then a dose of the actual virus a month later but theres been an online backlash over the questionable morality of the move. Volunteers or not how can this be ethical when corona virus infection can be fatal wonder what we would be saying about this if it was russia not u. K. Project risky reckless irresponsible typical of russia how risky a human challenge trials. Thus far the academic lead on the trials did not confirm the report the British Government has also not confirmed the details of the scheme but has said its open to conducting such studies we heard from microbiologist simon clark of britains university of reading who says the move may not be ideal but these are desperate times. Its quite unusual of course if we had effective treatments the rush for a back seat were probably wouldnt be so be so strong its not optimal or an optimal way of doing it ideally youd let it will get the. Virus normally. Needs muslimah devil droit with our backs are against the wall on this and weve really got to be able to come up with a vaccine in pretty short order so i think some people think this is a way of doing it you know its a sub optimal way of doing trials no 2 ways about it the fact is the hospitals in this country in spring would come by lots and lots of people who were seriously ill many of whom were literally unable to breathe and needed the attention of intensive care that meant that that sort of hospitals were unable to discharge their normal case loads and that was the basic problem. And its global with a growing number catching covert across russia 6 and a half 1000 in the last 24 hours alone moscow now today calling on people in high risk groups in particular to only go out if essential the details on that room costs are from the center of the capitol. Hill indeed the number of cases has been the growing in russia recently over the last couple of weeks in fact now russian consumer watchdog or wall there is saying that its not the 2nd wave of coal that theyre actually calling it calling it the continuation of the 1st wave that meanwhile Russian HealthMinistry Officials said that the number of. Its called the cases remained at the same level at this point now authorities claim that everything is being done in order to avoid a massive shutdown so they have issued the following recommendations lets take a look so retired people and those with chronic illnesses should try and stay home as much as possible and if they do need to go outside just like everyone else they need to wear protective gear like masks and gloves now everyone should also limit their visits to shops and pharmacies as well as visits to close relatives and loved ones in in case they live separately also some large scale employers here in moscow have been advised to send as many people as possible so work remotely or even have them take a vacation now if the employees do need to come to work they need to observe social distancing rules and of course wear protective gear like masks and gloves now moscow mayor says that the capital saw a spike in the number of covert cases and this is showing this its huge situation is becoming more difficult lets have a listen to sergei sabbaton unfortunately in moscow in recent days we have seen a significant increase in the number of covert positive cases whats more the cold is approaching that means a traditional increase in diseases doctors say that 2 illnesses together could result in dangerous and serious consequences especially for the elderly and those suffering from chronic diseases thats why for monday we are asking you to stay at home despite these high numbers president putin said that russia is going through this pandemic period a little bit better than other countries but he also said that its no time to relax or trade lightly lets have a listen. What you can prove. Otherwise they will expand its going to. Very tough challenge for us citizens through a country and through economy now some Health Officials are also saying that this new spike can you call that cases is due to the fact that more people are being tested for corona virus with the rollout of 3rd stage of this. Vaccine in russia more and more people are becoming interested in becoming the volunteers in this 3rd stage sort of theyre getting tested and they want to be 1st to become inoculated now everyone also remembers that when almost and sire economies have been shut down due to restrictions however this time authorities in russia are hoping its not going to go that far and they say they have they have everything under control. Meantime medics here in 11 moscow polyclinics on the front lines of the mt covert fight have started taking shots of the new russian vaccine against coronavirus we spoke to one very special medical worker who battled in a day the smallpox epidemic that was back in the 1960 s. And who is now one of the 1st in line to get the new job. As soon as i heard there would be in 3 days of the vaccine trial and there would be a lot of people i told my daughter please sign me out i want to be vaccinated. Of all who might be given a vaccination none of them have come back and reported any side of things. I 1st and foremost have never been afraid of getting the vaccination ive gotten them since i was a child i was given a little bottle within the naacp you lieschen and then i was vaccinated without any fear or tears and due to my profession and down plenty of an occupation. To keep you posted on the russian efforts to sort this next mother news today Major Car Companies including todd slip of lawsuits against the trump ministration for unlawful tire of some chinese made parts as the u. S. President s trade war in beijing leaves American Firm struggling to find alternative money factor is now saskatoon has got the latest on it. Fost in serious speeding its way to dominating the car industry but it may have reached a bit of a roadblock increase tariffs schools economic. Through the increase of course and impact to profitability due to the complexity of the model 3 com computer and the demanding timelines necessary for testers exponential growth to say is unable to find another manufacturer to meet our requirements tesla has filed a lawsuit against the trumpet ministration why what components the company uses namely the computer chips are made in china and as luck would have it these parts are subject to 25 percent tariffs as part of trumps tough on china strategy ido musk says its a car crash and the tariffs are all poetry capricious and in a piece of this question probably not what a president wants to hear from one of his countrys greatest minds who hes fine gold in the past is one of our great geniuses and we have to protect and with mosques a single says probably not what trump had in mind when he promised to make America Great again protecting our workers are protecting our companies to trade war hurts them doesnt hurt us with a hole in his pocket now musk is asking for a refund with interest of course on all the tax hes already had to pay and tess is not the only Company Spinning out of the big hits is like misstating his fortune volvo have also decided to sue trump and co they are irony of all this is all while these tariffs are quite literally driving away business for americans and europeans for beijing that theyve been a road to give us a fixation i dont create profit you know the trade friction between china and us puts pressure on Companies Whose main market is the us well the value of exposed to the u. S. Has decreased companies have been exploring multiple markets the result is remarkable and is enlarged known u. S. Markets well the. The u. S.

Around the world in 90 seconds more than 100 firefighters working through the night with chainsaws to try to get to burning parts of a church that was being built in berlin because of the fire still being investigated thankfully no casualties reported but talking of fires and horrendous place here this time were heading to argentina its torched thousands of hectares of grassland pine forests a heat wave and strong winds a number of provinces fueling and finding those flames activists warning of an environmental disaster the worry is the raging wildfires burning out of control next syria the residents of one syrian village of burn the stars and stripes a protest against pensacola turkish troops in their country demonstrators marched with National Flags to also denounce crippling u.

As one of the afternoon here in moscow thanks for taking the time to watch us today we are our Team International i can tell you monger stories ahead this britons held a commitment to a new Energy Source but boy oil majors critics see a trick do. Maybe well talk about it more after the break. Thank and. Join me every 1st week on the alex salmond chill and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see that. Again this is r t im kevin ollie and rights activists in britain are warning against new legislation to let the cover agents get away with serious crimes including murder. There is a grave danger that this bill could end up providing informers agents with a license to kill it is deeply alarming that the proposed law does not explicitly prohibit m i 5 an other agencies from also rising crimes like torture and killing it must be amended to do sell well the new legislation set to be introduced this week and is set to allow agents to carry out necessary and proportionate offenses the full list of crimes that can be allowed is not disclosed bird allegedly the bill sets no limits the government insists the bills comply with the European Convention on human rights and doesnt provide a license to kill we discussed the issue with former British Intelligence agent and a marshal on then. Our spy agencies in the u. K. Are the most legally protected and least accountable of any spy agencies in any notion of western democracy and this is just another law that will protect them so i have some sympathy for the agents in the field who want to be sure that if they have to do something thats illegal to protect their lives save their lives or get information will save others lives yes they do want to be protected and thats right however if this is going to be another warrant system which is basically and i 5 would have to request a warrant from the ethical march to the home secretary. And then they would have immunity that is wide open to abuse and this is one of the things that David Shayler reported way back in 1911 the warranty system is a tick box exercise government ministers always sign off on them because they dont want to take the risk that something might happen if they dont. And they can be gamed and so its a sort of a state of notional democratic oversight and notional National Legal protection but actually i think its part of a bigger power grab thats going on amongst our intelligence agencies the u. K. Where theres an almost a massive commitment to socalled Green Hydrogen as part of a has to be Carbon Neutral by 2050 promos to Boris Johnson says hes a convert quite extraordinary protection we have for when we want to lead in Carbon Capture and storage of technology i barely believe was possible but im not a complete evangelist. We want to use those technologies to develop a lot of hydrogen would be a big bit on hydrogen. Thought a lot of purposes and not least the ability to hydrogen has to provide a lot of grunt. For trucks for trains for even perhaps planes to vehicles well paper Green Hydrogen seems to be an excellent alternative to fossil feels its made using Renewable Energy and the only by products are oxygen and water but professor of Mechanical Engineering david said bob points out the technology is also incredibly inefficient. Buzan economy 100 route through green green arjun you have to build a very large amount of renewable electricity just to give you an example if you pay our home heating directly through heat with which a city or you do the same thing through hydrogen you need 6 times more electricity to do it through harder and we are at a time in human life when the amount of renewable electricity is limited scarce there is not freely available interest in trying to to. To her own eyes the entire Global Energy system and to require 6 times more power to one system than another its completely obvious that you dont want to do that or none the less all that said the Hydrogen Task force a lobbying group founded by the likes of oil giants b. P. And shell has been pushing the government to commit to hydrogen for the long run one of the goals is 100 percent Clean Hydrogen hating in the country by 2025 theyre also calling for Financial Support to build Hydrogen Fuel stations for road transport but critics of the dash to hydrogen warn that fossil fuel mages know wont solve the planets climate goals. We know that Global Warming is dangerous the additional danger here is that is that this just hydrogen is is going to cause a lot more delay what we will see there is no doubt that well see that hydrogen is far too expensive for vehicles and too expensive for home heating we know that we know thats going to happen but its going to take quite a few years before people realize that thats the dash to hydrogen which is being promoted by a very powerful international lobby. In the in the in the fossil fuel industry what thats doing is causing delays its causing electrification projects not to happen its causing governments not to make decisions about what to do and you remember that we only have until 2040 to completely decarbonise if were going to get to one of the 2 groups of Global Warming its detrimental to Carbon Emissions its detrimental to energy usage there to mental to the current position rates and still a commendable to the Ener
