2:01 am
of the morning here now so good morning from russia this 8th of february this is out international week ever knowing for the next 30 minutes great over the long 1st president of the european commission calling for countries to stop competing and to come together to beat the virus it marks a u. turn on its previous run with the u.k. over vaccine supplies. comments coming as the e.u. changes its june 2 moves toward russia's very covert shot which leading western study is showing to be more than 90 percent effective. the old confrontational mindset has arrived think for instance about could 916th some countries see the quest for a vixen as a race amounts global power is 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 as the phone the lion has being keen in
2:02 am
a recent comments to stress and of voidness of vaccine nationalism saying that the european union russia china and the united states need to work together not against one another when it comes to developing a real vaccine program a real global vaccine program it's a bit of a different change in tone from a slip on the line than what we heard from her just over a week ago when she was very much at the center of a lot to shambles of a conflict between the e.u. the u.k. and the vaccine manufacturer astra zeneca that was over deliveries of the astra zeneca job to the european union that almost resulted in or at least threats all were made of a potential bond on exports manufactured fraud within the e.u. to anywhere else in the world and there was talk even of invoking article 16 of the breaks that treaty doubt would have put in place a hard border on the island of ireland. well put at risk peace in northern ireland
2:03 am
that's prompted some to say they glad to hear the fund the line taking a different tack now 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 but there are big problems with the 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 under merkel has said that the country still on track in order to live up to the promise of offering a job to everyone that wants one by the end of the summer they have. of minutes the end spawn is also you said germany is months behind where it wants to be that has seen sputnik v. the russian vaccine come forward as a potential aid to helping the european union's ailing vaccine program the medical journal the lancet recently published
2:04 am
a study in which it said the covert 1000 vaccine was over 90 percent effective against the virus so far sputnik v has been approved for use in 21 different nations it's expected that it will get the green light for use in the european union very soon and now i am hoping that to be in a medical agency will be able to certify a deficiency of these vaccine you know that could be useful szell dupion union state would be good news because as you know we are facing a shortage of vaccine. back since our all about effect of miss a phd in the bail 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 meet the safety and efficacy conditions is welcome in europe we're interested in getting as many vaccines of theories types as we can there's been a big change in tone when it comes to media coverage of the russian sputnik v
2:05 am
vaccine it set to get the green light for approval very soon in the european union is currently being reviewed by the european medicines agency there is a chance that it could even be manufactured inside the european union while france and germany have both said that it would be a useful addition to the e.u.'s vaccine arsenal hungary got a head start on other e.u. member states they approved that unilaterally away from brussels as one for all and all for one vaccine program and 5 budapest has already received the 1st tranche of doses of the 2000000 that it ordered it's understood that the czech republic could well be the next e.u. member state to follow hungary's lead the russian sputnik the vaccine is set for approval by the european medicines agency here in the e.u. sometime this month. meantime italy remains one of the worst hit covert hotspots in
2:06 am
europe and now want to tell in regions bring in strict law after registering its 1st case of the more contagious british strain is thought to be spreading faster than other strains with fears that it could worsen the situation across the country like the rest of the e.u. italy suffering vaccine shortages to its got its 1st batch of britain's astra zeneca job only on saturday after rome threatened legal action over huge delivery delays it's also asked the commission to let member states make their own shot as a last resort italian health counsellor a lesser d'amato told us that europe needs rushes back see. through them in the us called in this case it's not the jobs origin we should focus on but the efficacy of test results and we must run fast because in the eternal fight between viruses and humans time is the fundamental factor we can quickly
2:07 am
examine other alternatives to contracts already signed in europe among which is certainly the russian meats but nick the vaccine we were asked to test sputnik be as 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. speaking about the doses that are available in italy 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 $8000.00 doses every day knowing that we could do at least 5 times more if we had more doses available. 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 this morning the state of new york has revealed the coded death toll in nursing homes is almost double the number previously reported new data shows more than 13000 care home residents have died from covert since march that includes those who were taken to hospital and died there this is a to sticks 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
2:09 am
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 court ruling the state's attorney
2:10 am
general posted her own report suggesting governor cuomo has administration misled the public an undercount 2 deaths associated with nursing homes but least 50 percent however health officials claimed they'd always made it clear that those numbers only included those who died holmes norton hospital later in the months it took to provide cumulative data responded partly on order to so the new york health department also insists to the death rank well below the national average live in size again believes the governor's office deliberately 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 the 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
2:11 am
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 u.s. made a hike over the death toll and often expensive health care system growing numbers now we're pushing for a comprehensive health insurance system the host of artes going on the production return to discuss that very issue than with the some of us politician bernie
2:12 am
sanders you can watch the full interview various times throughout the day here. but 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 what's going on in terms of the country and that's and that's you know that's that's that that's the sad reality is 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
2:13 am
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 problem this is an extraordinary situation that when you talk to folks who are not the donald trumps of the world they can no longer afford their high co-payments deductibles for years and out of pocket expenses. but later various times today now but to the present what's coming up well after the break care monks the stories of this obscene talks to the russian tax have come to the rescue of the policy so shilling to plug pulled coming up. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of

morning in us social media that what paul are popular with us conservatives than is found on likely technical support here in russia it was blamed for inciting the capital riots of course with his boss forced to step next and he's constantly rushkoff goes to speak to the people who are now helping that platform stay afloat . this is raw stuff undone most americans have probably never heard of the city in southern russia but if you happen to be a parlor user well you should probably learn the name there was a small digital firm in this 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
2:16 am
popular among conservatives and from supporters and it was accused of harboring radicals and conspiracy theories which the last of the lad 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 group news and we don't do any hacking the most information security service we provide
2:17 am
global content protection. place really doesn't look like secret bunker adds some shady b. facility i mean just look at that high tea style office humor. is and how areas. 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 on there and 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. so how do you manage to
2:18 am
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 a 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 as. 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 or whatever they want and we're basically seeing the great
2:19 am
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. international criminal court has ruled it has jurisdiction over the west bank and the gaza strip including east jerusalem that means that it could now probe war crimes there including those allegedly committed by israel the ruling that very different reactions expect in israel and palestine. when the r.c.c. in bursa go to israel for fake war crimes this is pure anti semitic. this promise to resume i assure you we will fight this perversion of justice with all our might the decision of the people see this very unique and important decision
2:20 am
for us it's a landmark it's history has been made it's a victory for the victims who are disappointed and waited for this the solution 40 years so the i.c.c. says it's inquiry will focus on israeli military operations in the gaza strip as well as potentially illegal settlement activities in the west bank the court will also investigate war crimes allegedly perpetrated by palestinian armed groups just help her the head of the israeli committee against house demolitions told us earlier that although the i.c.c. lacks weight its rulings could still have some effect on israel 1st of all israel doesn't recognize the international criminal court at all. secondly it doesn't recognize palestine as a state at all and 3rd it's always rejected any attempts to alter or see what it
2:21 am
does in the occupied territories that's the struggle all the time with international law and human rights has no teeth the i.c.c. and how you know it has law independence shrinks still you know nevertheless you know it has a quite a bit of effect in terms of public opinion you know if israel can can be recast as a war criminal that really means something washington a traditional ally of israel of course was quick to slam the ruling despite the fact that previously the president biden the championed progress on human rights. we have serious concerns about the i.c.c. is attempts to exercises jurors stiction of israeli personnel the united states is always take the position that the court's jurisdiction should be reserved for countries that consent to it all that are referred by the un security council. stand for our values of human rights and dignity i work in common
2:22 am
purpose for more secure peaceful and prosperous world jeff help believes the bottom ministration is therefore no less pro israel that is pretty. i think the united states under graydon is completely committed the israel he said the long history of supporting israel so does camila terrorists so does the democratic party fact the democratic party has always supported israel more than the republicans the best that can happen is a might pressure israel to stop settlement building maybe stop house demolitions the worst things that they're doing in terms of the occupied territory maybe something with gaza the 2 state solution is gone and it's dead but governments including by the us government still need it in order to manage the conflict illusion glowing it is still a 2 state solution is still negotiations. i talked to president biden he says he's
2:23 am
not ready in other news to lift sanctions on iran and till the comes he returns to its commitments under the 2050 nuclear deal however iran's supreme leader in return says it's the u.s. that needs to at 1st. 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 now. that nuclear deal was struck 5 years ago by iran along with the 5 permanent members of the u.n. security council and germany it followed years of complex talks in western legations that iran was secretly developing nuclear weapons a claim it's always denied the result was the lifting of most sanctions based on iran's commitment to limit uranium enrichment and to allow inspections but then
2:24 am
a twist into the 18 the trumpet ministration said it was going to quit the deal and then following that last month around confirmed it had resumed enriching uranium to beyond the level set in that nuclear pact professes mohammad marandi from the university of toronto this 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 that of whether it was a bad deal or a good deal obama his administration which included by then they signed on to the deal so unless the united states commits itself to what it has
