What is wrong with Russian statistics on vaccination. Trump became the first president of the United States to be impeachment twice. We talked with Ivan Urgant about his Italian New Year show

Good evening,

Those same, with the inscriptions of "Rave Girl" and "Marianna". The Twitter user @keizzdnb made a whole thread , at the end of which you will find a boss of all packages.

The main thing is in the day - as short as possible

It turned out that Alexei Navalny has been on the federal wanted list from December 29. When the politician announced his return to Russia, he did not know about it yet. The FSIN promises to detain Navalny's offender . In the meantime, the UK refused to check the FSB officers for involvement in the poisoning of the opposition. Donald Trump was still imperative for the second time-this is the first case in the history of the United States. The court in Chelyabinsk acquitted two participants in the rally “He is not a king” - the prosecution asked for three and a half years of imprisonment for them. In Brussels-riots because of the death of a migrant detained by the police.

Coronavirus

It seems that no one knows how many people are vaccinated in Russia from Covid

The Russian Direct Investment Fund, which oversaw the creation of a “satellite V,” they say that one and a half million people have been vaccinated. The head of the Ministry of Health, Mikhail Murashko, a week before, spoke about 800 thousand. According to the analyst of open data of Alexander Dragan, 300 thousand vaccinated generally. Most likely, even the Ministry of Health does not have reliable statistics : those who fall under the law on the protection of personal data - for example, security forces are not entered into the vaccinated register.

"Satellite V" had nothing to store and transport

The Russian vaccine should be stored at a temperature of minus 18 and below. And all world and Russian logistics are adjusted to the range from +2 to +8 degrees. As a result, it was necessaryto build low -temperature storage facilities in the regions , and transport the vaccine itself in special thermal containers (these are piece goods). Aircraft can deliver up to 100 such containers-that is, more than 500 thousand doses of the vaccine-but take on board no more than ten due to the high cost of cargo and the likely breakdown of the side. In the clinics "Sputnik V" there is also nothing to store in: you need to purchase expensive freezers. Salvation may be the dried form of the vaccine, which is stored at a temperature above zero, but what is with its production is unknown.

Other news about coronavirus:

• Sergei Sobyanin extended restrictions in Moscow until January 21 - but opened schools since January 18. According to the mayor, if in a week the incidence does not begin to grow, then a number of restrictions can be removed.
• In the NE, it was warned that the second year of the pandemic "could be even more difficult."
• On Sakhalin, vaccinated will be allowed not to wear masks in public places, but they will be given badges. Vaccination there will begin tomorrow.

The texts of the day

Ivan Urgant told how the New Year's show “Ciao, 2020!” that even the Italians liked

Although the host in an interview with our editor Natasha Gredina says that he thought about Italian spectators last. It also turns out that Garik Kharlamov was supposed to be in a costume of coronavirus (he was even sewn) - but it did not grow together. According to Urgant, Konstantin Ernst until the last did not see a piece of the show that was all in Italian - there was nothing to show. But for a long time to explain what kind of show it seems to have not had to be:

We missed Europe: none of us went anywhere. Italy is really one of the most affected countries - and we support it so little. Well, there is no other country that would be so close to us. 2020 by itself all this (shows a curve figure with our hands), and we decided to finish it like that. I must say that this was found by Konstantin Lvovich, who said: “Listen, in my screensaver [before advertising on the air], giraffes are decorated with Christmas trees. Such a year - and therefore no one needs to explain this absurdity, we have giraffes. ”

In Ireland, there have been shelters for single mothers for decades. Nine thousand children died there

The authorities of Ireland apologized for cruelty to shelters for single mothers. For many decades, women who became pregnant out of marriage were forced to settle in shelters - only more than 56 thousand women. They were beaten and undercarmed, treated them dismissively and humiliatingly. Nobody watched the well -being of children. For 76 years, nine thousand babies died in shelters - 15% of all the children who were born there. In some years, almost every second baby died.

Podkast "What happened"

Due to the DPRK, a new international crisis may begin soon

Perhaps in the world media there will even be headlines that because of the DPRK the world is on the verge of nuclear war. In fact, North Korea is so preparing for negotiations by Kim Jong -un and Joe Biden and worsens the atmosphere: he calls the United States the “largest enemy” and is going to conduct missile tests. Based on the results of negotiations, the Koreans want to mitigate sanctions and promotion along the path of international recognition of the country's nuclear status. To the question "What happened?" and other questions Vladislav Gorina are answered by the orientalist and teacher of the University of Seoul Kunmin Andrey Lankov

Photo of the day

On the Indonesian island of Sulawes, a caveat an image of a pig was found, made 45 thousand years ago. This is the oldest drawing of the animal. The previous ancient image of the animal was a rock -drawing drawing showing the hunting scene, also found on Sulawes. That image was made 43.9 thousand years ago. I wonder whose hands there, by the way!
