daughter of one victim governor andrew cuomo would prefer to bury the figures. if he stalls a little longer basically maybe it would be swept under the rug. say they just are not of the morning of morning from russia this 8th of february this is r.t. international with me kevin irwin here for the next 30 minutes with the latest for you as you just heard in the headlines there the president of the european commission them as called for countries to stop competing and to come together to beat the virus it marks a u. turn on its previous with the u.k. over vaccine supplies on the lines comments coming as the e.u. changes its chewed moves to authorize russia's sputnik shot which a leading western study shows is more than 90 percent effective. the old

confrontational mindset has arrived i think for instance about could 916th some countries see the quest for a vixen as a race amounts global powers like this piece race in the 1960 s. this is an illusion the only race is against the virus and the virus is spreading faster than ever before. to figure over a 1000000000 more new broader attitudes as hussein lost out of sputnik seem to be changing window but. yes sputnik v could well be a welcome aid to the e.u. when it comes to filling in the gaps in their vaccine program that has not got off to the best of starts we have also heard just then from the front line the e.u. commission president is saying that vaccine nationalism needs to not play a role that the e.u. china the united states and russia all need to work together not against one

another but of course that's a very different tone that was set by yourself on the line and her e.u. commission just over a week ago when she was very much at the center of a really unedifying shambles. never a spot between the e.u. the u.k. and astra zeneca the vaccine manufacturer over deliveries of the astra zeneca job to the european union that saw potential vaccine bans or bans on exports of vaccines from the e.u. and even potentially the invoking of article 16 of the breaks that agreement that would have put in place a hard border on the island of ireland and put peace in northern ireland at risk these are sensible words and i agree but i hope that means no more aggressive or pitch bullying tactics over the northern irish border or of the threats to block exports. well there are big problems with vaccine procurement here in the european union we've already seen france portugal and spain have to suspend vaccine programs

due to simply not having the jobs to give out while here in germany angler merkel has said that they're still on track to live up to their promise of offering everyone who wants a job and vaccine by the end of the summer we've also heard from the health minister saying that germany is currently months behind where they wanted to be and that's why sputnik vague but well be a big boost to the a use vaccination program the study in the lancet recently showed it was more than 90 percent effective when it comes to stopping covert 19 and 21 nations of already approved it we're expecting to see e.u. member states and the e.u. as a whole join that list. and now i am hoping that you do a b. and medical agency will be able to certify a deficiency of this vaccine you know that could be useful szell into being union

the state would be good news because as you know we are facing a shortage of vaccine back since our all about effect to safety in the vale ability to not do political struggles it's about getting the safest back since quickly as possible regardless of who developed them any vaccine that's ready and missed the safety and efficacy conditions is welcome in europe we are interested in getting as many vaccines of theories types as we can. there has been a big change in tone when it comes to media coverage of the russian sputnik the vaccine the european medicines agency is currently reviewing the vaccine in order to give it the green there's even been talk of it being manufactured here in the ear rypien union while germany and france both said that it would be a useful addition to their vaccine arsenal hungry i've already got ahead of the curve they've already approved sputnik v. out of the e.u. use one for all and all for one vaccine procurement program in fact they've already

received in budapest the 1st tranche of their 2000000 doses of sputnik v. that they had on order it's expected that the czech republic will be the next e.u. member state to follow suit the sputnik v. vaccine is set to receive its approval here in the european union at some point in february all right thanks for bringing us some speed there was harming your absurd home as well with the technical problems we have there on the line from peter will trying to sort of for next. well talk here it means italy remains one of the worst hit covert hotspots in europe now one italian regions bringing in a strict lockdown again after registering its 1st case of the more contagious british mutation it's thought to be spreading faster than other strains with fears it could the worst in the situation across the rest of the country like the rest of the e.u. italy suffering vaccine shortages in italy got its 1st batch of britain's astra zeneca job on saturday itself to rome threatened legal action of

a huge delivery delays it's also asked the e.u. commission to let member states make their own shots now as a last resort telehealth councillor a lesser told us europe needs rushes that seeing. i mean. in this case it's not the jobs origin we should focus on but the efficacy of test results on we must run fast because in the eternal fight between viruses and humans time is the fundamental factor we can quickly examine other alternatives to contracts already signed in europe among which is certainly the russian made sputnik the vaccine we were asked to test sputnik vs quickly as possible by limiting time spent on bureaucracy after all it is a vaccine that is already being administered in many countries around the world.

while a god speaking about the doses that are available in italy that the european level we are among the 1st countries after germany for the number of jobs and doses available to us for example in our region the one where the italian capital is we do 8000 doses every day knowing that we could do at least 5 times more if we had more doses available. and i support it but it must be a super national decision that involves several states when we have a considerable number of people inoculated vaccination certificates will certainly be a garden tour for the safety of flights. also the state of new york's revealed the covert death toll in nursing homes is almost double the number previously reported new data showing more than 13000 carol residents have died from covert since march that includes those who were taken to hospital and died there this just takes

a far worse than those published in november the revelations come after a court order with the state administration having been unable to respond to public demands for correct figures we spoke to the daughter of one nursing home resident who died during the pandemic she started a campaign to protect the elderly from the virus. we were at a loss as to how could this happen to my mother who was about to go home that morning and we didn't know she was having trouble breathing the facility lacked transparency they did not tell us my mother had contracted the virus did you not tell us the she was having difficulty breathing they kept reassuring us a she was ok and fine my mother was not a permanent resident she had knee surgery we wanted to have her get a little bit of physical therapy on a full time basis which the doctors recommended it looked like a very safe place and we never thought about doing the research about past history past violations any any lawsuits against this particular facility we believe the

sign that was in the entrance us said that it was the number one the still on long island and we wanted nothing more but the but the best for our mother so we thought she would have never been any harm or danger we were visiting her every single day and then until the shutdown ultimately the shutdown has assassinated the death because when family can't get in an advocate for their loved ones there's more there's more incidents of neglect before the courts ruling the state attorney general posted her own report suggesting governor cuomo says ministration misled the public and undercounted deaths associated with nursing homes by at least 50 percent however health officials claimed they always made it clear they said that the numbers only included residents who died inside the facility not in hospital and the months it took to provide data were spent on order to new york health department also insists the deaths ride well below the national average vivian's

eyes again believes the governor's office deliberately head hid the real numbers. we were trying to figure out if this happened to my mother by herself or did this happen to other seniors and at that time the media was not discussing it we were reaching out to the media to see if they had heard of anything we wanted to tell our stories to see of other families with step up our governor andrew cuomo came out with a book. which in which he talks about how his success of manly handling the colbert writers so i don't think he wanted negative press so basically he figured if he if he stalls a little longer he could basically maybe it would be swept under the rug and hoping that the good thing that comes out of this sad situation tragically is that we can look at our nursing homes again and say what can we do to protect our senior so that nothing like this happens again and that the senior community could be safe

and not be afraid if they need to get rehabilitation treatment at a facility or if they need to get a stay long term that something can happen and tragically meet the end of their lives unfortunately also in the us a story made a hardcover death toll and often expensive health care system growing numbers of pushing for a comprehensive health insurance system most of artes going underground afshin rattansi discuss the issue with the some of the u.s. politicians bernie sanders. the pay out of pocket expenses whether it's 6000 dollars 12000 dollars 18000 dollars in order to actually be able to get health care you have to pay out of pocket so sir you have 70 percent of the american public who supports a medicare for all single payer health care system and the problem ultimately have is that you know joe biden hangs out with a lot of lobbyists and the reality is i think psychological to even understand the full extent of what's going on in terms of the country and that's and that's you

know it starts that that's a sad reality there has to be tremendous pressure by the progressive caucus and a lot of people to say joe that the wealthiest country in the history of the world everybody should be entitled to health care right we have right now 7475000000 supporters so now we have an opportunity to reach out to these folks and really just to say that you know you're hurting we understand a lot of people do not have health care or partially in short and we can bring all these folks together we have so many folks that desperately was a medicare for all single payer health care system as i talk to people i say you know there's not a democrat or republican 'd problem this is an extraordinary situation there when you talk to folks who are not the donald trumps of the world they can no longer afford their high co-payments deductibles and out of pocket expenses.

now next while the whole world ponders its response to the pandemic story about one british teenager who's only just found out about his existence as images from a 10 month coma his name joseph level the chap was hit by a car and just before the country went into full lockdown the 19 year olds made unconscious of a sense during his time in hospital he called coronavirus twice coming through both times we spoke to his cousin who told us how he's doing now. so when i found out basically his eyes were open and he was communicating to his eyes and you can move things like is fingers is toast that is also a very good sign he's still. in a state where he isn't talking to us yet and i hadn't seen his reaction about the culture pandemic i know as a person yes it is a strong and. isabella. very excited and hopeful obviously i'm here in new zealand so when the pandemic and flying restrictions struck

a lot of us their 1st roles basically that his mum is going to go see and of course she can't really say or touch with the moment due to the pandemic so when these rules left it then my aunt his mum will go and see him and then the found in the u.k. as soon as possible really would like to go and see how he's progressing yet he's been through such a lot and in order to try to help her joseph in his recovery the family's created a fund raising website with almost 33000 pounds already put up his family told us about his success. we've said opposite is the choice of journey campaign and that campaign is basically our family and joseph loved ones and friends and we're all getting together we're doing things to help him how can get through and this money will basically judge was his rehabilitation or a thing step to help him get it back to the way he used today but our campaign. is

getting really successful it's getting the coverage that's needed and we're doing things just to try and give choices and share out really a name based selling it in a hospital bed in the cut so we can do things like record video spend we can show on those videos. we're playing in music we're doing more sorts of things as a family and friends to try to help joseph and every way ya best wishes to to joseph get well soon hank know how screwed up to 17 minutes past the hour if you watch the clock this is ahead having stick around artie talks to the russian tech firm which came to the rescue of the policy so for media platform to for the stories ahead.

join me every thursday on the alex simon show and obviously going to get off of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us

in the depths. for a mate in the shallow. to get morning u.s. social media network popular with us conservatives has found unlikely technical support in russia it was blamed for inciting the capital riots of course with his boss forced to step down on his comes to. speak to the people who are now helping to try to keep the platform afloat. this is raw stuff most americans have probably never heard of the city in southern russia but if you happen to be a hardware user well you should probably learn the name there was a small digital firm in the city that helped to restore the ill fated platform that was ripped off the internet after the angry mob ransacked the capitol building in d.c. . parlors been especially

popular among conservatives and strong supporters and it was accused of harboring radicals and conspiracy theories which ladley led to the january 6th violence and so apple google and amazon pulled the plug on a service that many saw as an alternative to the while established social media like twitter and facebook google has just removed parlor pulling the plug on parlors parlors suspended parlor was forced to shut down parlor was america's most downloaded out during the west selection week the number of users soared from less than a 1000000 to over 15000000 in 2020 and just one a lot of people thought that the platform was gone for good parlor has made a surprising comeback with the help of russians. are you those mysterious russian hackers or internet freedom fighters neither of us don't we don't have any thinking through news and we don't do any hacking in this oh no we're an information

security service. we provide global content protection. place really doesn't look like secret bunker adds some shady k.g.b. facility i mean just look at that high tea style office humor. is a whole areas question how did he end up working with parlor in providing services for them it wasn't good decision. we didn't really ask them to work with us we had no previous contact with that social media platform we met them when they became our customers and. i guess they researched all similar services working globally and decided to hire us. we met their criteria. first there was blocked completely one bomb then they managed to restore the web page it was a static page that our side of the. c.e.o.

said the platform would be back and fully operational see what i'm up almost to get a new office. so how did you manage to do that. we gave them the opportunity to distribute their content. well yes it's a small page but any u.s. based companies will have a hard time trying to block it because it's located on a russian based platform. completely independent from us based on big band from the us government or any other government for that matter the 1st time i heard of was when our support team started to get anonymous threats. and who was threatened by the company your company yes because you were supporting parlor yes we can see that this message was sent from the united states. you would say yes this message was sent by someone in the usa the best liberty and freedom of speech and democracy is actually working on a mechanism to shut down whatever they want and we're basically seeing the great

american fire wall emerging. working with a client like parlor is not a cry tactically but it definitely means you're taking on the risk oh and by the way they have a masses for those mysterious users who keep sending them threats. as you know how much do i scare you. president said he's not ready to lift sanctions on iran until the country returns to its commitments of the 2050 nuclear deal whoever runs supreme leader in return says it's the u.s. that needs to work. you know. if they want iran to return to its commitments under the joint comprehensive plan of action america must completely lift the sanctions not just with words or in paper they just can say we have lifted the sink sions no they must actually lift the sanctions and we have to verify this will the us lift

sanctions 1st in order to get iran back to the negotiating table. the nuclear deal was struck 5 years ago by iran along with the 5 permanent members of the u.n. security council and germany followed years of complex talks and western allegations that iran was secretly developing nuclear weapons claimants always denied the result was the lifting of most sanctions based on iran's commitment to limit to raid richmond and who allow inspections but then a twist in 2018 the trumpet ministration very quickly quit the deal last month around then confirmed it resumed enriching uranium to beyond the level set in that nuclear pact professor saad mohammed marandi from the university of to run says washington must look at its own actions. it wasn't iran that left the negotiating table it was the united states that left it wasn't you ron start implementing the deal it was the united states that stopped it the iranians already gave much more

than enough the nuclear deal of the g c p o a while as a deal where both sides gave something in iran gave quite a lot in fact many in iran believe it was a bad deal of work are this of whether it was a bad deal or a good deal obama administration which included by then they signed on to the deal so unless the united states commits itself to what it has promised to do unless it carries out its obligations then there is no deal. republican and democratic members of the u.s. congress are sparks an unlikely row this time over metal detectors invidious left some wondering if they'll now argue over anything given the vicious disagreements over the presidential election.
