In early October, Russia delivered the first batch of its vaccine to Venezuela — the first country in the Western Hemisphere to participate in phase 3 clinical trials of the vaccine. “This is rather a political issue than a health and medical one. From the scientific point of view, the Russian vaccine had no complications, it is […]

Russia has delivered the first batch of its Covid-19 vaccine to Venezuela, making it the first Latin American nation to participate in Sputnik V’s clinical trial. “We are the first country from the Western Hemisphere which will start the Phase III trial of this vaccine against Covid-19,” Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro tweeted, expressing his gratitude to Russia. Red crates containing doses of the Sputnik V vaccine to immunize 2,000 people arrived at the Simon Bolivar International Airport in Caracas on Friday.

Both Trump and Biden acted like little kids on the stage in Cleveland, Ohio, bickering back and forth and repeatedly talking over one another. During the 90-minute debate, Trump often bumped heads with Fox News host Chris Wallace, who moderated the contest but struggled all the while to keep it from going off the rails. On Wednesday, Biden criticized […]

Competitors in the Covid-19 vaccine race are publishing clinical protocols in hopes of securing lucrative emergency approval, which Russia’s Sputnik V was previously attacked for seeking. This time, however, the media are quiet. The frontrunners in the US and western Europe’s quest to develop a coronavirus vaccine – Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Moderna – have published their trial protocols in response to growing public unease over the rapid rollout of the promised coronavirus magic bullet. They reveal an overwhelming emphasis on being first to secure emergency approval from the relevant regulators, suggesting the companies’ goal is maximum profits rather than ensuring the […]

During a Wednesday news conference, Trump told reporters that CDC Director Robert Redfield was “confused” and that he had made a “mistake” when he said during his testimony that a vaccine likely wouldn’t be widely available to the public until the summer of 2021. Trump then claimed that “under no circumstance” would a vaccine take so long, noting that a […]
MOSCOW (Sputnik), Ekaterina Ivanova – Russia has been getting requests for its coronavirus vaccine from Africa and will address them, but has to attend to its own people first, Russian Ambassador-at-Large Oleg Ozerov, who serves as the head of the secretariat for the Russian-African partnership forum, told Sputnik. “Of course, we received such requests [about supplying Russian vaccine to Africa]; they have been coming and they will continue coming, but we have one priority, which is our country’s population. But clearly we will work with this issue with regard to the African states as well”, the diplomat said. Sputnik V vaccine […]

However, it has also faced criticism and questions from some Western countries and companies, especially those developing their own vaccines—often based on technologies yet to be proven for safety and efficacy, such as mRNA or monkey adenoviral vector-based platforms. Following the publication of the results of the Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials of Sputnik V in The Lancet, we would like to summarize answers to these questions and ask some of our own.wn. Question 1: Did you steal your vaccine? No, we did not steal it. The vaccine uses a unique two-vector human adenovirus technology which no-one else in […]
The news that the first COVID-19 vaccine had been developed and registered in Russia met with mixed reactions globally: while some countries wondered when it would be up for sale, others, including those still testing their own drugs, questioned Sputnik V’s effectiveness and safety, citing a lack of publicly accessible data from clinical trials. The publication of the first batch of trial results of the Russian coronavirus vaccine, also known as Sputnik V, in the renowned medical journal Lancet came as a response intended to put an end to the media campaign seeking to discredit the effectiveness and safety of the […]
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said Friday he had been inoculated with the country’s coronavirus vaccine, according to the Defence Ministry. “When asked by his foreign colleagues, Sergei Shoigu said he had recently been inoculated with the Russian coronavirus vaccine”, the ministry said.

That’s illegal – each person can only vote once. Maybe it’s best not to take political advice from infamous Chicago gangster Al Capone! On Wednesday, during a campaign trail speech in Wilmington, North Carolina, Trump told his supporters to try and vote twice in the November presidential election, suggesting they go to the polls even after voting by mail to “make sure […]
As Moscow announced the beginning of post-registration trials of anti-COVID vaccine Sputnik V on 26 August, the US added a group of Russian research institutes, including the one testing the anti-coronavirus drug, to its sanctions list. International observers have discussed the US move unveiled amid the global effort to curb the pandemic. According to a statement, released by the US Department of Commerce on Wednesday, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding sixty entities under the destinations of nine countries to its sanctions list.

It is common knowledge that Trump loathes Obama, with many still speculating that Trump ran for the presidency because Obama scathingly mocked him at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where Trump was the only person not laughing in the audience. During his Wednesday evening Democratic National Convention speech from the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Obama argued that Trump has turned the presidency into “one more reality show that he […]
In space, no one can hear you scream—and that’s also true of being in a secret Soviet research facility circa 1983, the setting of director Egor Abramenko’s Sputnik. A clever riff on Alien (and its sequel) that generates solid suspense from assured formal touches and a story that only succumbs to heavy-handed gestures at a few key moments, it’s a capable horror show that, like its spiritual ancestor, suggests that terror is born in the womb—and, also, that every country is home to its very own deviously warmongering Paul Reiser. The untrustworthy official in question here is Colonel Semiradov (Fyodor Bondarchuk), […]

On Tuesday, Trump went viral for all the wrong reasons after mispronouncing the name of one of America’s most famous national parks at a ceremony touting his signature on a major piece of conservation legislation.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The German authorities are unable to clearly justify the inclusion of the Sputnik news agency into the country’s annual intelligence reports, Sputnik Deutschland chief Sergey Feoktistov said on Thursday. Earlier in the day, Interior Minister Horst Seehofer and counter-intelligence chief Thomas Haldenwang presented the 388-page 2019 Report on the Protection of the Constitution, which says that RT Deutsch and Sputnik play a “central role” in exerting pro-Russian influence in Germany. According to Feoktistov, both in 2018 and 2019, Sputnik was mentioned in the report’s section on espionage and other subversive activities. “Last year, we sent an official request […]

There is hardly a person who has never been played a trick on. But some people like to play jokes on their pets. If done with love, these jokes can be a source of joy and fun for everyone involved. Source link
Lawyer Alan Dershowitz has urged “everyone” to “keep an open mind” about deceased billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s long-term partner and alleged procurer of underage girls Ghislaine Maxwell, after she was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation 2nd July. Writing in The Spectator, Dershowitz – who represented Epstein, and played a decisive role in negotiating and securing the sex abuser’s extremely soft and highly controversial “sweetheart” plea deal in June 2008 – recalls how he and his wife were introduced to Maxwell by Sir Evelyn and Lady Lynne de Rothschild. They subsequently met her on several occasions– “generally in the presence […]
It’s the most famous Flat race in the world, but this year, Saturday’s Epsom Derby, due off at 4.55 pm, will be arguably the most unusual in its 240-year history, as it will be run ‘behind closed doors.’ The question is: who will win? A Derby run in July (after Royal Ascot) and with no spectators. Sounds utterly far-fetched doesn’t it, but isn’t everything that has happened so far in 2020 stranger than fiction? Although we can’t go to Epsom to watch the race- even the famous Downs have been cordoned off-, we can still follow the proceedings on tv and […]

The president is not a stranger to saying and tweeting incendiary things. The divisive footage that Trump retweeted Sunday showed a supporter of his, who happens to be a white man, driving a golf cart and yelling “white power” at […]

The study, which was conducted over […]
Cressida Dick shouldn’t just be carpeted by Priti Patel over the Brixton riots she should be sacked. And whilst Priti is at it she should also sack the Chief Constable of Avon and Somerset who allowed his officers to stand by whilst an anarchic mob, hiding within the Black Lives Protest, pulled down the statue of the slave trader Colston. This would send a clear signal to all the other PC Chief Constables around the UK that the days of rainbow laces, Pride painted panda cars, dancing in the street and skateboarding on London’s bridges with extinction rebellion are over. Running […]

Following days of unrest that have seen the destruction of monuments viewed as historically oppressive towards minority groups amid nationwide protests for social justice, Trump vowed that the federal government would jail and prosecute anyone who participated in such activity. Trump took to Twitter early Tuesday morning in an attempt to prevent additional statues and monuments across the country from being pulled down or vandalized.

Already tense relations between the two countries have been further strained by border tensions and Ankara’s oil and gas exploration plans in the Mediterranean Sea. Earlier this month, Greece’s defence minister warned that Athens would be prepared to defend itself against an “aggressive” Turkey by any means necessary. Turkey remains ready for new talks with its Greek counterparts on the normalization of relations in the Mediterranean, but the Greek side has resisted such efforts, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has suggested. “Unfortunately, until recently, the priority was a plan on how to isolate and retrain Turkey in its actions in the […]

Excerpts and summaries of Bolton’s explosive tell-all book, “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir,” were released Wednesday, detailing conversations that Bolton said took place inside the Trump White House, where “obstruction of justice” was seen “as a way of life.” Trump wasted no time and took to Twitter to lash out with a rant at the […]

It seems that, similar to a child or an ostrich, the POTUS believes if you cannot see them, problems will simply go away. In his remarks during a Monday White House Cabinet press briefing, he made the astonishing claim that less COVID-19 testing means fewer novel coronavirus cases, “if any” at all. “If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any,” Trump said, […]
It’s the most unusual Royal Ascot in the event’s 250-plus year history. Because of the COVID-19 lockdown, the most famous Flat race meeting in the world will this week be taking place for the first time behind closed doors. While unfortunately, we can’t be there in person, we can still watch the action on TV – and hopefully back a few winners. There are no fewer than 36 races to win (or lose!) money on but if we bear in mind certain key factors, we can help tilt the odds in our favour. First, there’s no form like Royal Ascot form. […]
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Russia’s news conglomeration Rossiya Segodnya and media juggernaut RT are leaders in outreach and innovation with internet audiences, Russian deputy minister of digital development, communications and mass media Alexei Volin said in an interview published Monday. “I always say with pride that the professional standards of our media are very high. For example, if we talk about Rossiya Segodnya, also known as RIA Novosti and the Sputnik agency, and RT, then today they are definitely leaders in terms of working with an Internet audience. Their know-how, technologies for working on the internet and social networks are studied all […]
People are asking: where does this end? The list of monuments and emblems slated for removal in the US and Europe is a daunting, ever-expanding one. Some are labelled as glorifying racism, others for venerating war, imperialism and colonialism. Statues to Christopher Columbus and Confederate leaders in the US have been toppled this week, so too have landmark effigies in Britain, Belgium, and other European countries. The anger on both sides of the Atlantic has come like a torrent following the racist police killing of African-American man George Floyd in Minneapolis on 25 May. That anger goes beyond racist policing and […]
Donald Trump’s indulgence in conspiracy theories is running amok. The latest is his speculation that a 75-year-old man who had his skull split open by police was a “provocateur”. The man in question, Martin Gugino, was shoved to the ground by police officers after he approached them openly, without threat and in broad daylight during a public protest in Buffalo, New York state. He fell backwards, suffering concussion and spilling blood on the sidewalk. Dozens of police officers in riot gear then walked past his prone body to enforce a curfew. Two officers have been subsequently charged with assault over the […]
The United States seems hopelessly riven with division, as the mass protests over the police killing of African-American man George Floyd reveal. Protesters are calling for police forces accused of systematic racism to be defunded and disbanded. While opponents – many of whom seem to be supporters of President Trump – are calling for a tough law-and-order response to what they view as rioters and subversives. The sharp tensions have even torn through the offices of the New York Times. Journalists at the paper are in open revolt after it published an opinion piece by Republican Senator Tom Cotton who endorsed Trump’s threat to send in troops […]

Boris has declared the next front in his ‘war’ against Covid-19 is obesity and I’m backing him 100 percent. The Prime Minister’s dice with death and time spent in intensive care has evidently changed his mind-set when it comes to intervening in public health. Like me, years ago, he saw initiatives like the sugar tax as part of the Nanny state and he was dead against it. However, according to James Forsyth writing in the Times today Johnson’s had a major change of heart and it has been driven by the now undeniable link between coronavirus and obesity. He is convinced […]

In ancient Egypt, there was even a cat cult, sacrifices were made to them, and some Egyptian deities were depicted with the heads of these animals. Cats were considered sacred. Cats are the most popular type of pet on the planet. Anyone who has a cat at home will tell you how they consider their kitties part of the family. Have a look how this kitten attempts a “superman” jump, but something goes wrong. Source link
