Rock group pink floyd as well he tells us why he believes the result of the u. S. Election was always going to be disappointing. Had been reelected it would have been worse for everyone in the world but that doesnt make good candidate. Russias Foreign Ministry spokeswoman browns u. S. Attempts to prevent the construction of a north stream to get pipeline quote another poetical impression. On minute after 10 pm here in moscow this monday december the 7th welcome wherever youre catching us from this hour im you know neal. Become the 1st russian city to begin a mass covert Vaccination Program because 3 sputnik job is being made available to the public free of charge front line workers which include Hospital School stuff will be the 1st to get the vaccine although at 1st only those under the age of 60 will receive it. Were issues dealy infection rates. In 29. 00 thaws and cases the numbers have been steadily rising since september so its hoped the vaccine is going to slow the spread arties yuliya. This is a company thats readying test batches for mass production. We are the car company its a fetus in every way i mean the famous being told here that its being bought this particular line for jay says 6000. 00 but our sputnik the is a too short adenovirus based vax a vaccine the difference between sputnik vi 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 vaccines requiring significantly lower temperatures for storage after the injection doctors monitor you for 30 minutes before youre free to go. 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 for us i received the text saying that i can be one of the 1st for the vaccination im so glad and i trust the vaccine in this matter to me 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 the covert 1000. 00 job is 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 oxidation is probably the only way now to put an end to the pandemic. Well we spoke to a russian scientist who was among the 1st to receive a job in moscow he told us more about the vaccine and why he decided to get it. Melissa was successful in developing the platform in the way i understand how it works is that once you have a platform to carry the antigen to. Then changing the tab and egypt is not big deal and this is what a true this explains these high speed of development and actually to meet it as it is a fundamental scientist this is in. Just a few patients who are long Term Investments into fundamental research in life science but of course. If i had not have this access to the data from people actually participating in to in the 3rd phase of Clinical Trials it would be more difficult to say all that convinced me personally to take the decision to have a shot now again for each individual its the weight of risk and reward in my case the risk of having. Current owners disease and completions associated with that is so high that i was looking forward to having this opportunity to to get this from. The cofounder of pink floyd roger waters is the latest guest on our team is going underground we got his view on the president elect of the United States the full interview will be aired here throughout the day just for although heres a snippet. 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 as their mother out either 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 resolution 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. There is no longer in the white house pretending to form Foreign Policy for the middle east. The russian Foreign Ministry has accused the us of political aggression over mounting pressure on the nord stream to gas pipeline lets take a listen to what a spokeswoman re at the heart of the city any russian pipeline no matter where when or how it was constructed a what documents legitimized it has provoked a single reaction from the us for decades political aggression and illegal counter work i would like to tell washington you can just break the rules if you want to be a responsible player in the International Economic community you have to abide by the rules you know he said that Condoleezza Rice in the context of russian guess americas own words have quote out with it the spine of the american attends to stop the project construction of the pipeline actually restarted over the weekend permission for work in the german waters of the baltic sea it was obtained from the German Federal office for shipping and hydrography and that means north stream 2 is almost finished with the pipeline 94 percent ready it is close to completion theres not much left to do and that is why i think the sanctions are a load of nonsense and i hope that maybe with the election of the new us President Biden i hope it will become better and that we wont have such sanctions for sasnett i think 1st and foremost its an economic come to prize the 2 states russia and germany committed to and the conflict partners should be allowed to act as they have agreed on i think the madness especially by the us is over the top. Well present u. S. Sanctions on north stream to include asset freezes on transactions and also visa restrictions however right before work restarted last weekend u. S. Congress approved a bill that includes expanded sanctions against the pipeline they range from measures against Companies Providing insurance to firms that provide all the equipment just to go through a door trim too is an extension of the already existing nord stream pipeline which also goes through the baltic sea it will be able to pump 55000000000 cubic meters of natural gas from russia to germany every year from where it will continue on to other european nations so what about its future weve got the views of journalist Thomas Fassbender on the. As we see today both sides the germans the russians and also the European Union they are basically committed to finish this project now its 94 Percent Complete it would be simply so silly to. Dump almost 10000000000 euros in the baltic sea for nothing but of course the u. S. Authorities u. S. Administration. Continues to or pressure approach to pressure the participants pressure the governments own wisdom by its a very difficult choice the new american president will have to follow it will be follow the old policy of office free he says and on the truck going against the project i think very much the opposition to or north stream to is not a pet project of donald trump but it is deeply embedded in the geopolitics of the u. S. Foreign policy establishment on the other side joe biden by really interrupting really boycotting prohibiting that project would load negatively load his relations to europe and not only germany at it at an early stage of his presidency. Most nations all around the world battle to turn the tide of whats being described as a 2nd we have a covert 19 right now experts are warning were in for a tough start to 2021 today we could still see a very severe peak particularly i think probably in january is when i predict there would be most likely if we take our foot off the pedal on this 3rd wave a sponsible but its also preventable so we dont have to wade through it again we mustnt with the mistakes of the summit by not wasting time in listening to those who speak loudly about these untruths that another outbreak is impossible. To give an example in the u. K. France germany as well. Is beginning to plot after various lock downs and restrictions were applied to the public and were very german chancellor Angela Merkel feels they may be insufficient when we look back on them relying on who point to help us this is usually is getting very serious these measures will not be enough to get us through the winter. Just a sense of the picture away from europe israel for instance may be facing a 3rd locked on with infection numbers still on the rise there the Prime Minister has promised that the country wont hesitate to return to full restrictions well to discuss a so named 3rd. Im joined by a number of guests on the program and that is a veritable whos who its great to have you all peter all from the American Institute for Economic Research also biomedicine lecturer dr mohammad near her psychology professor and founding director of evolutionary studies at new York State University we kick off with you i think when i was going through the talk of a 3rd wave i heard a collective sigh from the Public People people are generally fete up arent they weve barely reached a plateau in this 2nd wave should the focus not be more in battling the disease not trying to break it instead of the what ifs of a 3rd wave. Yeah i mean its obviously a brand new novel situation that were all having to deal with i say that 1st and foremost weve got to do whats best in terms of the Public Health issue. You know this is just a major Public Health issue i have a virus myself earlier and several months ago my daughter had it you know i think a lot of muscle around the world added or no people know people who die so a 3rd wave coming is always the absolutely frightening and i do think that its wearing on us as humans as individuals but on the other hand weve got to let the experts really drive this and see this to an end so that we can really get oscillation as we know it mohamed with their people likely to let their guard done over the Festive Season which has begun are you predicting a return to lockdown in the early months of next year. Well the fact is that we still have false d people in the community sucking bill to the infection and. Actually sauce to watch us were not really care whether its a christmas or either or any of that any time that others will get the chance to come across susceptible population explanation fact that is going to me likely happen because of the mixing we will be seen getting the Christmas Song and what we are seeing is a line we definitely have a great progress on the last 4 weeks of the lockdown we put that number of cases 40 percent that is incredible at the same time the vast majority of people getting into the population are going to bring the violence back into. Communities which will be likely to see in general effectively as the number of cases start let me go. Peter talk of a 3rd wave might dump in spirits but just how important is it for businesses to get at least some of their seasonal trade in because you hear many stories of businesses having a tough year on the mic they make it back almost on a good christmas a good new year if thats not here theres businesses that are going to close and they dont care too much about a 3rd d wave or talk of it. Right and thats a its a huge problem and by take on this whole thing has been especially since the talk of the 3rd began is that its astonishing that the base models have predicted all these oculus dictionary that led to the policy movement ations including the cold nprs nonpharmaceutical interventions are still being trusted weve got tremendous traditions may we uns its. Starts with Economic Cost and yet none of the. Predictions that are made in terms of disease. Bankruptcys weve got tons of unemployment i mean. Its going to i would hope that this 3rd time we might do something close to focus protection let people work. But we tell people were going we who have comorbidities they want. Your or. Glen kind of focus on a 3rd wave make people think twice before taking risks this month to your family you say has been affected do you think its a tactic to keep people in doors as a way not only that but partly that sure i mean if if to some extent. This is a scare tactic to be honest i would be completely supportive of it you know Human Behavior is incredibly hard to motivate several of us living in countries a very sort of loose libertarian approaches to things and you dont think thats grossly unethical to do. Well i dont think its necessarily intentional that thats i guess what id say id say that if theres talk of a 3rd wave if theres some sort of like unconscious knowledge who are really just trying to sort of get people to you know stay home only to follow the guidelines with the idea of protecting Public Health and reducing spread of the virus. You know i i i would not be against that lets just bring peter in peter do you expect people to follow the Health Advice just to just him what glenn was going through there with this Small Business bigger business as well now on the on the brink of collapse and whats really interesting here is that what many left and many left leaning politicians said all along which is that business is getting more concentrated that theres a widening gap between rich the poor and. The rising tide is not lifting all boats back to being accomplished by the law so we have Bigger Companies getting bigger or Smaller Companies going out of business the gap is widening people who are taking. The brunt of lockdowns are the core are single moms their people their kids are getting your people who could least afford them lets not forget this is when youre not totally you dont have comorbidities has a great job that 99 percent chance of surviving i mean that who tells me that. Theres a reaction to the locked arms thats been probably hasnt been strong up the back that people are giving probably should be stronger this is this is just a policy error on my view on par with the. Any other other recent. Mohamed december january time was when we 1st started really to discover what the virus was all of the pandemic intensified into the summer enough again are we facing the same scenario in 2021 do you think this is going to be a pattern. I think 2020 want to be different than what we have somebody generally in 2020 primarily because we are seeing the vaccine coming into the into the human arms and of course it would take a little bit of time before to get into the general public to achieve the herd immunity so that we can but its also a changing of the virus but because of the vaccine to inject what you wanted will be different and certainly one thing that allowed to highlight here is that just because of the intermixing during the christmas time. Push into into time when we are going to see the influenza virus as mobile as a lot of the time getting ready for hillary so i think it is certainly more time to really follow all the distractions that have been put in place to ensure that we have a little more handle on the virus before the vaccine get it when it is quite widely glenn one of the stories weve been doing today is the talk of an id for people who. The vaccine. Business is or lines. Their c. E. O. s are saying that maybe were going to take it into our own hands and decide who can come in whether or not that agrees with state guidelines are you in are you in support of of ideas like thoughts for somebody to have to have a vaccine to get certain privileges compared to what everybody could have in the past now that so
