The russian president made clear the 1st people to receive the job starting as early as next week would be those who are most vulnerable on a work with the most vulnerable so of course medical professionals and teachers among other key workers that would then be made available to the wider public and its coming out very much over the next few days. We have already produced almost 2000000 doses of the 1st registered vaccine against coronavirus speed v this will allow us to start widespread vaccination specifically among 2 risk groups doctors and teachers i would like to ask you to start vaccination at the end of next week. This was announced than a Video Press Conference with the deputy prime minister. Go to cover who also made clear that this job would be voluntary that was to allay the fears of those who thought the job would be made compulsory it would be forced on everyone and anyone it will be voluntary and of course it will be free for those that wish to. Get themselves against covered 90 now theres been quite a lot of criticism around the sputnik the vaccine sense its been registered for months now tell us more about that well it was primarily criticized for being rushed through without proper Due Diligence without proper testing of its safety and efficacy but it was published of course back in september in the long answer to well established and up it all medical journal it was peer review and its efficacy was claimed to be 95 percent or even above 95 percent which is also comparable to other vaccine candidates across the world so it has been Peer Reviewed and has been looked at by the regulator and this is why its now being made available for mass rolled out the entire world is waiting for one of those jobs that which countries have so far applied to use the russian made a vaccine will the appearance of any covert action on the market is of course good news but what we have learnt over the last few weeks is that no one country no one company can provide enough vaccines to go around. No no one has the capacity to prepare hundreds of millions or even billions of vaccines and even if they could not all countries would be able to afford the sort of vaccine prices weve seen from pfizer. This sport nick the vaccine is going to cost around 20. 00 for for both those as for the total treatment that of course is more expensive than some competitors like a swedish astra zeneca but much less than others like pfizer and this is why its a track that International Attention nevertheless now that must roll out is happening over the next weeks and months i suppose the governments going to see what sort of demand there is and then base their export models off those the districts are the way this is of course good news for for the for russia for the world which is in the middle of a 2nd wave would fear of a 3rd wave already looking looking likely in the distance any mass rollout of a vaccine is of course good news in the fight against corona virus that announcement from russia came on the same day that britain gave the green light to another Coronavirus Vaccine the Health Secretary announced that the drug developed by pfizer and bound tech will be rolled out next week hope is on its way the immaturity has formed all through as the fires of bio antic vaccine for code 19 the n. H. S. Stands ready to start vaccinating early next week the u. K. Is the 1st country in the world to have a clinically approved vaccine for supply. The 1st 800000 doses of that vaccine are already on their way to the u. K. Residents and staff at care homes for the elderly are being given 1st priority followed by people over the age of 80 and Health Care Workers we asked people in london whether they will be willing to take the job. I think that its exciting because i think bad i know a lot of people have put their lives on hold and businesses have been put on hold because there is a vaccine personally i would not want to take it because i think things are happening too quickly my wifes a doctor she she read the paper about it. But you i just dont believe and i think this study much going on theres so much that we dont know about and that hasnt been enough to hasnt been enough charles has been the time to Research Find out if these vaccines are safe i dont think that they will be safe for people and i think this i think a high agenda behind obviously sort of follow the news as it goes along and everything like that i would be sort of very low on the list i would imagine. But i would absolutely get it. Biologist in jones says that one of the key obstacles facing the pfizer biotech drug will be the need to store it and ultra cold temperatures. Its ponce about historic moments in the sense that this will be the 1st r. N. A. Based vaccine that is released generally theyve been tested before and 100 spera mental basis but theyve never been released on that scale or will so not only does it make drastic that issue which is the most important thing right now but it does also mark a watershed moment for this type of vaccine certainly be a logistical challenge because the back scene requires ultra cold storage the floor its actually used i dont think thats a stock of the robots i think in certainly in developed countries so i think the provision of mine is that he raises is not such a big deal but it certainly could be something that will effect the rollout more generally in other areas that work well which dont have access to boat storage.

European leaders are facing a balancing act between keeping covert restrictions in place to stop the spread of the virus and allowing families to be together over the festive period this also the need to try in the peace some of those that have been out on the streets of european cities angry and fed up with the current restrictions. The problem is ease restrictions for christmas and new year you may well get a spike in the virus in january here in germany chancellor Angela Merkel has reluctantly agreed to ease restrictions on the number of people that are allowed to gather together thats been raised to 10 not including children in that number between the 23rd of december and the 1st of january but she has said that there is a personal responsibility on people to try and keep covert safe that people in winter are worse equipped against the virus and then in the sound that because we spend much more time inside close spaces the situation because more difficult we just have to get through this winter months and we hope people get vaccinated and the Czech Republic theyve got a bit further than germany and theyll be opening some shops that have being closed albeit with extra corona measures in place when it comes to religious services theres also a split across europe in italy and in ireland there will be socially distanced masses taking place while in germany and iceland they going for they will auction we recorded shoot services that we broadcast online and theyve also created virtual confirmation classes my sumo try to. Do something outside the church on Christmas Eve such as a quote a performance or a Short Service the e. U. Might get a glimpse of tension what could be coming down the pike by looking at cross the atlantic to the United States last weeks thanksgiving celebration so people travel across the country and get together with families who are looking to see if that produces an uptick in the number of corona infections but while restrictions that have been in place across europe have seen numbers either drop off or level out here the question is is it justified to aids these restrictions for a few days of christmas cheer a this bridge will despite its continues unabated as not to be disparate. Absolutely positively correlated to the quint davis provided by closed source are going to use people gathering etc more than leading to temptation lifting distinctions appears to be more late getting.

New yorks a governor has been ridiculed for comparing covidien to the grinch and some on social media think a better candidate for the childrens character who stole christmas is and are cuomo himself. Code red is the great. Think of it that one. Moment is the grinch the grinch that helped spread to covered in snow some homes and profited on their debts by writing a book about leadership and the minimum. Kind of analogy from columbia if youre trying to encourage people to be careful about any of that during the holidays because of the good guys and the grinch with the folks in who then you can celebrate a good god listen how the grinch tried to link christmas but im not in any when i saw a.

About the. Same wrong oh well just dont call. Me. If you get to shape out just to become educated and in the game because the trail. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. At this point no one knows when the cold crisis we invade however it is undeniable that this whole crisis has negatively impacted the economy what does it mean to return to normal is that even. Will the divide separating the rich from the continue to work. With things become more extreme in which leads to right when this is like breaking norms not necessarily in a good way. To reach satire he knows the. Right is an extremist what the reality is. You. Talk about this is our to international glad to have you with us now rights activists are calling for a boycott of the british cosmetics retailer lush thats after the company made a donation to a feminist a group which has been accused of anti transit gender sentiment as opposed to employee trans person at a customer i will no longer buy from los u. K. Australia and new zealand etc this is disgusting and laws should be ashamed he cannot complain for transfer rights and then turn around to donate to and to transfer going to station last u. K.

I dont think that companies are going to stay silent i think that companies are going to feel like they have are compelled to go along with leftist ideology and we actually see companies constantly feeling the need to virtue signal based off of whatever the latest leftist demands are theyre donating money to these organizations because theyre afraid of facing leftist backlash progressives seem to feel that they have Carte Blanche to go out and stamp their feet and make demands and even threaten bully and intimidate people into going along with what they want and if organizations and businesses dont comply theyll be driven out of business theyll be picketed theyll be defunded will be theyll be in such a backlash on social media that theyll be permanently damaged so i know i feel that its actually compelled speech thats being put forward by the leftist and progressive people it is an injustice especially unfortunately you know in the United States and hes a structure in josss so we have to hear the voices of these people when they are actually. Demanding change and i think this is the right moment to change and thats maybe why you know companies now theyre doing that i dont think that is because they feel intimidated or not i think actually because they just to admit there may be experiencing an you in alignment and they understand that we have to get back into confidential all the fortune you know going to have all the prevention so its a matter of balance i think we have to balance our rights and get back to the board who didnt have i dont care if you feel that an injustice has occurred nobody has the right to go out beat people murder people loot stores steal the effect on handbags in the name of their social justice cause i love to call them now with a geisha dapo because theres an almost fascist element to the a l g b t community now theyre absolutely the most were and rampant arbiters of cancel culture they love to destroy people they love to destroy peoples careers all businesses should be in bold and in politics and will soon. In social impact absolutely 100 percent its a measure of social responsibility entrepreneur as well you know i try to donate as much as i can because we have to give back to the Communit
