i don't. know. all. the headlines this new research says the delays to cancer treatment in the u.k. due to the corona virus could cause an extra 6000 deaths we speak to a man who only discovered he had advanced cancer when he finally got a much delayed scan. new words or a. no words to describe. the world races to find a coronavirus vaccine a new survey reveals surprising amounts of people wouldn't be willing to take it we head to the streets to find out what the concerns are. i'd want to read all the information 1st of all this skeptical of it working i would be careful trying it

looks like i need more information public think interest you probably probably want . the u.k. says it is happy to resume sales to saudi arabia despite claims that the weapons have killed many civilians in the war in your. day here in moscow you watching r.t. international now in the u.k. a man has discovered he has advanced cancer after finally getting the scam that had been because of the coronavirus 27 year old show when hall went to the doctor's missive ear pelvic pain back in march he was given painkillers but they eventually stopped working he repeatedly requested a scan but only got one in june which revealed a large cheema we spoke to him about his situation. i beg

for scans every single time i went there say to me that deja qubit 19 it's a delay one m.r.i. as in c.t. scans and so early june my would think a visit to the hospital a doctor. looked at my notes and said hey you've been you've been her so much times it's got to be something wrong with you. i'm going to schedule you m.r.i. some more i was a little bit hurt that he took me 24 hours he could schedule me a m.r.i. but i begged him as the months to get an m.r.i. or to get a scan doctors told me if i would have got my scan. few months earlier then my prognosis would have been a lot better. my prognosis is about 10 percent and less than 10 percent i was so

while i will have. a baby no i don't know how long that i'm going to have to you i'm very devastated at the fact that i'm fighting for my life and i'm and i'm at the prime of my life and my life to being misdiagnosed is just devastating this is not a nose i can say no words to put how i feel no words to describe. i'm just devastated. this very sad case has come as new research to show that the corona virus has put the u.k.'s health system under such training could result in 6000 extra fatalities among nearly diagnosed cancer patients the n.h.s. is also reported to the pandemic could delay many more planned treatment and waiting lists for retain procedure is currently stands $4000000.00 and is expected to jump to $10000000.00 by the end of the year meanwhile a 1000000 cancer swabs for that individual ready sure start for poetry's in june

alone show in whole again please the whole system needs a rethink if i would have if i would have got my skin and earlier and it would have been a primary and i wouldn't spread and they could have been able to operate on the primary tumour and get it all to me and i would have been on the route to recovery patients like my so we better to concur of the views qubit 19 as a smokescreen not to take cruel patients and you leave. cancer patients which cancer kills more people and coo in 1000 each year and i don't know why. well i kind of blame you who system but i cannot blame be any excess because the did have very. poor patients i just wish that it would have been a better system of diagnosing it and getting in touch in it early in saving lives.

ok let's just give you an update there on the global coronavirus figures almost 12000000 people have been infected worldwide with more than half a 1000000 people dying the still little sign to the pandemic easing overall or there are also concerns of a 2nd wave meanwhile in brazil which is the world's 2nd hardest hit country the president there. has revealed that he has tested positive for the virus however he does claim he is feeling fine and will not reconsider his stance on the pandemic the head of state famously referred to the viruses the little flu is drawn sharp criticism for downplaying the impact of covert 19 on the country despite having the 2nd highest number of cases and deaths in the world after the united states the president has continuously resisted imposing lock downs and restrictions saying that they would have a more devastating impact in the virus itself meanwhile sentiment against anti

covert measures is still boiling in some countries. was the intel of if story a protest in the serbian capital for example turned violent when demonstrators tried to storm the national assembly police to gas protesters here there are reports 2 of several injuries anger erupted over the decision to reintroduce damages after figures showed that there was a surge in k.p. cases a curfew is expected to come into force on friday evening and run through until monday morning and then in tel aviv dozens took to the streets on monday to manage the passing of a new anti coronavirus bill that allows these ready government to use any measures to combat the spread of covert 19 without the parliament's approval critics claim it's a move towards a dictatorship allowing the prime minister to use the pandemic to ban protests.

and trials are underway globally in the race to find a vaccine for the corona virus but if even if scientists discover an effective cure it does seem there are plenty of people who won't be queuing up to take it peter all over explains. the hunt for a coronavirus vaccine is one of if not the great scientific searches of our time but there are those who don't want to see a vaccine found and wouldn't accept one if it was here in germany which was swift to tackle the initial wave of covert 19 coronavirus skeptics have been demonstrating for months. now. the latest polling shows more than

a 3rd of germans would reject and mandatory vaccination against covert knighting these concerns continue to exist despite mandatory vaccination being on the cards the government here has said again and again that when a vaccine becomes available it won't be compulsory if. the government is accused of secretly plotting to introduce mandatory vaccination i want to repeat that she for the chancery said yesterday it will be no obligatory vaccination against the coronavirus at the same time germany is now facing a lack of u.s. supplies of rendez if you're an antiviral drug used to treat coronavirus patients the german health minister has pressed on the manufacturers to get shipments to europe using access to markets as a stick and. we don't have a huge inventory now we only have a few 100 doses i expect an international company like gilliard to understand that

you can't just cut access to the e.u. markets and high prices for other products and also expect supplies to europe and the european union in the united kingdom the ante vacs the porters have a strong foothold as well a 3rd of brit said they would definitely not get a corona. the job or they were unsure about the vaccination it's not clear what their views on antivirals are we asked londoners in what ways they're willing to protect themselves and during the pandemic some people refused to get their children vaccinated against all common sense i don't know that i would i be grateful at the facts a kid full sorts of things happen and i can't be happy to think that i haven't decided that much i need more information everyone should have it these days. i would so i'd want to read all the information 1st and work out how how it works and whether there was side effects from it but i think on the whole good side of the facts in comes available no politic to having to see properly probably want to be

this to preserve it working i wouldn't be scared or trying and it's thanks to vaccines that smallpox has been eradicated that means souls technics and polio are common killers in society social media has been blamed for the rise of the anti vax movement but the platforms themselves say they are actively working to debunk false information about vaccines i report uncovered an industry undermining about being a fully committed to be developed a consequence of social media companies both power and profit from misinformation we reduce vaccine misinformation in news feed we don't show it in search results or recommended to you on facebook or instagram we don't elaborate in ads and we connect people with authoritative information from recognized health experts coronaviruses like covert 19 offer to kill or tricky to develop

a vaccine against but as long as science and fact are equated with conspiracy and feeling by some developing a vaccine will only be half the battle there are those that will have to be convinced that it's beneficial at all peter all of our r.t. belin. now the coronaviruses also forced a wedge between couples of different nationalities with travel restrictions keeping them apart while some countries are reopening their borders others still aren't ready to take the risk the for instance has decided to lift restrictions for only 15 so-called safe countries but while family members from countries deemed not to be safe are exempt it doesn't apply to couples who were simply dating and the commission of home affairs does believe that there should be a change. member state authorities and indeed travel companies to applies why did definition of partnerships as possible the partner sweetheart was whom the

union citizen only good resident has a durable relationship which is due that test it should be exempted from you travel restrictions on nonessential travel or we've been hearing the story of a couple who began dating last year but have been forced apart because she is from israel and he's from sweden. we planned that he would come to you for. passover and even week my family and well. it didn't help because because of the. e.u. we need me. it could be more fun with me. course of

course you. 5 know to hug each other and i'm talking in a lot of the small things like watching television together when we coddling in the soft. long distance relationship and of course. i really want to meet. spent time with her together with. the site they can meet so you want to let few decide the case says it's now happy to resume society arabia following a court ruling last year that said exports were unlawful without his testing whether they would be used in war crimes in yemen story plus reaction just after the break.

i don't know. no shots. actually. well. no the 1st. point should your thirst for action. shots seem wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just to become active. and engaged equals

betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. again with r.t. now the u.k. has announced it is resuming arms exports to saudi arabia that is despite admitting that they are sometimes used in war crimes in yemen so let's get some reaction to this firstly let's go to london and artie's fishcake just run through them what more do we know about the u.k.'s decision here. hi andrea yes the u.k. government has announced britain is to resume selling arms to saudi arabia despite assessing that the country could be using them to commit war crimes.

the undertaking that my princessa gave to the corps that we would not grant any new licenses for the export of arms or military equipment saudi arabia for possible using yemen falls away the incidents which have been assessed to be possible violations of h.-o. occurred a different times in different circumstances and for different reasons when in june 29th saying the court of appeal ruled that the government had acted unlawfully by licensing the sales of u.k. made alms to saudi forces for use in yemen that assessing whether incidents in the conflict had amounted to breaches of international humanitarian law well since the bombing of yemen started in march 25th the u.k. government has issued export licenses worth 5300000000 pounds including 2500000000 pounds worth of licenses relating to bombs and missiles and other military goods and human rights organizations are angry with the u.k.'s decision to resume arms

exports. this is a deep blue cynical move to restart business as usual when it comes to arms sales hold the government considers to describe a 5 years so i do it aerial assault of yemen which has seen numerous examples of civilians killed in schools hospitals funeral holes and marketplaces as a set of isolated incidents. well in march 25th in a saudi led coalition intervened in yemen against hooty rebels who are fighting the internationally recognized government and control large swathes of territory but humanitarian groups and the un quickly accuse saudi led forces of breaching international humanitarian law including bombing schools hospitals weddings and food supply as.

well the decision comes a day after the u.k. and out sanctions on individuals and organizations that abuse human rights including saudi arabia. make good on that pledge bringing to force the united kingdom's 1st autonomous human rights sanctions regime which gives us the power to impose sanctions on the on those involved in the very worst human rights abuses right around the world this country makes it crystal clear to those who abuse their power to inflict a magical suffered we will not look the other way you cannot set foot in this

country i will seize your blood drenched gotten gains if you try. so within 2 days the u.k. government seems to have plunged itself into a high stakes di lever agreeing to sanction a country for war crimes and resuming lucrative arms sales to that country the court says could commit the. ok thanks carrie that was like a partridge for us there in london we'll get more reaction to you because we can cross live now to martin butcher he's a policy vice campaign oxfam you very welcome thanks for your time today martin what's your reaction to this because britain says look we've done our research and we're happy enough that enough precautions are in place to allow arms sales to resume to saudi arabia. good morning well we're really quite concerned about this this is something that we hadn't expected to happen the news came out of the blue especially the day after as your report said sanctioning

saudi arabia for human rights abuses. as far as oxfam is concerned there is a pattern of events which amount to serious violations of international humanitarian law happening in yemen that by the saudis by other members of the coalition and by the he says well and these arms sale should not go ahead what evidence then do you think britain is looking at when it says we believe enough precautions are in place to prevent war crimes from being committed when we sell these arms society arabia because as you say a lot of people including you know the rain research seems to suggest that war crimes are trustees have been committed. yes and during the court case it came out that. mute violations of international humanitarian law were committed and only days after the pilots involved had received training from the u.k. about how not to do that. quite how the government has used its new

process. to decide that there is no such patent and only isolated incidents we really don't know we haven't seen the process yet we don't know the details that something that we really came to get our teeth into we're glad that the committee on arms export controls of the house of commons which scrutinises government policy was reformed on monday and we think it's really very urgent that they launch an inquiry and get to the bottom of this just picking up on that description of isolated incidents that seems to be an admission that war crimes have happened and it begs the question well how many isolated incidents have to happen before you change your policy well exactly and i think that's the crux of the matter in the government refers to these as isolated incidents but when you've had 5 or 6. medicines from frontenac clinics being bombed 2 or 3

oxfam water projects and and warehouses being bombed as well as hospitals and schools markets it's really hard to see how this can be described as just isolated incidents and all this to comes isn't it when britain announces this week it is sanctioning individuals in saudi arabia among others for human rights abuses many people say well look this is just hypocritical isn't it. yes and clearly this is part of a disturbing pattern i mean if saudi arabia can't respect human rights at home how can we expect them to respect them in yemen and it's not just the bombing of course the the naval blockade which is cut yemen off from the world for 5 years now allowing minimal amounts of humanitarian aid and food through. is also in some aspects

a breach of international humanitarian law and of course the bombing has led on to . things like you know the lack of clean water meaning the world's biggest cholera epidemic. the vast majority of the population are going hungry some on the verge of starvation so a famine says. yemen is really in a desperate situation and the last thing it needs is the u.k. government to be. in. with some softness tree i'm playing with words and delivering mobile a more sort of pressure than g. think could be put on the on the british government to change its opinion. well that's something we have to decide in coming days you know the court case that has led to this announcement yesterday in the end was led by the campaign against arms trade oxfam was intervenor in that case we'll have to see whether the.

cat has decided to try and carry on with the case or whether they will allow it to be dropped. clearly we're going to have to work with m.p.'s to scrutinize government policy carefully. and in international fora the arms trade treaty conference of states parties in the united nations will have to keep up the pressure that. we have been working on for 20 years to stop states selling albums into situations where there are human rights abuses occurring show ok martin it really not until she's going to leave it there that was martin but your policy adviser campaign oxfam thank you. thank you for watching take just coming up to 1230 here in moscow more from us that the topic.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport that's less i'm show business i'll see of that. time after time called her ration to repeat the same mantra sustainability very important it's accelerate the transition to sustainable tries board sustainability space for man at a more equitable and sustainable well. they claim their production is completely harmless. in the big. companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is

being done far away and this is something else this must be going to mean and i need much of. this is the mood of news that we didn't dream and i'm stunned seemed to be based on disconnect with so going into. the imaginary times we were going underground as the u.k. chancellor the next goldman sachs employee richie so not going down says what some are calling a mini budget outlining his plan for economic recovery after borrowing record billions during the coronavirus fund demick leaving the u.k. with a debt to estimated to be larger than its entire economy. let alone debt is britain as a global player economically over rigid alienates the economic superpower of the 21st century china we speak china's ambassador threatened britain with consequences of

aung kong and the experiment leader deng xiaoping's former translator and director of the china national association of international studies it's a gal about a continuing arguable british imperial hangover and after considering black eyes mad as protests around the world the new accusations of scotland yard targeting an english commonwealth gold medalists family because of their color are we witnessing a major spring not unlike the 2011 arab spring we speak to one of the u.k. government scientific advisors about revolutionary desires set ablaze by coronavirus although some more coming up in today's going underground but 1st what is darker in the west will become brighter in the east the words of china's ambassador to the u.k. being as he threatened london for what china perceives as imperial meddling in its country along with major nation mandated media like the b.b.c. going on the ground social media editor foreign element joined in that the virtual press briefing on the national security law in the chinese embassy in london he asked about the apparent mismatch in priorities when it came to the birth johnson

government's bait of passports for 3000000 chinese citizens the british government of course is looking to give sets and ship to millions of hong kong is to escape chinese rule of course hong kong being a former british colony so why do you think it is that the u.k. is so willing to give citizenship to hong kong as but not other citizens of former u.k. colonies such as maybe iraq which of course suffered an illegal war in 2003 i think some of the politicians. still. very strong colonial mindset if they were to recognise that. is normal and it is well known what. has in china. long since for the past 23 years so that's their problem so that's why they have it's a passion they have is a grown man site is still regard hong kong as and it is called new rule

and try to make up a response or a real remarks so i to interfere there is but that's totally wrong i think they've failed to realize that hung kong is now part of china that's number one secondly they failed to realize that stability and prosperity on kong is not only in the interests of china it's also in the interests of the ok they don't you ok has 830-0000. citizens living on hong and they have a 7 more than 703 businesses in hong kong so prosperity stability of calm is in their past injuries that's why you know i'm talking about 3000000 people in hong kong signed the petition to support the national security council that

included major bridges a business people from excess p.c. software jargon you know from standard charter in the those some politics and try to criticize them. that's wrong because they'd believe that stability and prosperity in hong kong is in their interests you can't do business you can't live a normal life without a peaceful environment look at what happened last year campaign people people do not even dare to walk in the streets and there's this so-called black terror so people cry for chaos to end as quickly as possible so that hot that they the birth of the national security act china's ambassador the u.k. you.
