i'm. in my name and. in a u. turn brussels now calls to stop vaccine wars amid chronic job shortages the e.u. is pushing to approve brusha shot which a top western studies found to be a bit more than 90 percent efficient. also this hour to tell you health officials say they want to see what they can be as the country's annihilation campaign stoppers. plus after a court ruling the state of new york finally releases data revealing an almost doubling of coronavirus deaths in nursing homes. and our t.v. business the russian i.t. company helping us social media network parlor stay online after bans by google and apple on the capital write. the best you know liberty freedom of speech and democracy is actually working want to make an ism to shut down whatever they want

and we've basically seen you know the great american file wall of merging. you're watching r t international bring you your live news updates from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. the president of the european commission has called on countries to stop competing and work together to tackle code 19 this comes after a row with the u.k. over vaccine supplies and while the e.u. considers authorizing russia's sputnik to be shot which a leading western study has shown to be 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 paris 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 there is little on the line has being keen and in 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 from the line than what we heard from her just over a week ago when she was very remote ship the center of and what a shambles of a conflict between the e.u. the u.k. and the vaccine manufacturer astra zeneca that was over the delivery of the astra zeneca job to the european union that almost resulted in or at least threats all were made of a potential ban 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 island. well put at risk peace in northern ireland that's prompted some to say they glad to hear the fund a 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 over threats to block exports but 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 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 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 the efficiency 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. the accidents are all about effectiveness safety in the bail ability to not do political struggles it's about getting the safest back since as 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. vaccine it's 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 it 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 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. italy remains one of the worst hit co it's hotspots in europe and one province is bringing in a strict lockdown after registering its 1st case of the mutation 1st identified in the u.k. like the rest of the e.u. italy is suffering from vaccine shortages it got the 1st batch of britain's astra zeneca job on saturday after run threaten legal action over delivery delay is we heard from italian health counselor alessio tomato you things that you need to act faster and should start using russia's vaccine. threw them into and over 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 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 3 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. at the will of god speaking about the doses that are available in italy that the european level we're 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. i support it but it must be a super emotional decision not involve several states when we have a considerable number of people inoculated bucks in nation certificates will certainly be a government tour for the safety of flights. in the us the state of new york has

revealed the nursing home death toll from coed is almost double the number previously reported new data shows more than 13000 care home residents have died from coated since last march that includes those who were taken to the hospital and died there the statistics are far worse than those published in november and were only released by the health department after a court order. spoke to the daughter of one nursing home resident who died during the pandemic she's now started a campaign to protect seniors 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 not stylista she was having difficulty breathing they kept reassuring us a she was ok and fine it looked like a very safe place we never thought about doing the research about past history past

the violations any any lawsuits against this particular facility 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 incidence of neglect. before the court ruling the state's attorney general posted her own report suggesting governor cuomo said ministration misled the public and under-counted deaths associated with nursing homes by at least 50 percent however health officials claimed they always made it clear the numbers only included those who died in nursing homes not in hospitals later and the months it took to provide cumulative data were spent on operating. the new york health department also insists the deaths rank well below the national average vivian's a us 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 if other families with step up our governor andrew cuomo came out with a book in which he talked about how his success of handling the covert rares so i don't think he wanted negative press so basically he figured if he if he stalls a little longer he could basically 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 then nothing like this happens again and the senior community could be safe and not be afraid. president joe biden has said he's not ready to lift sanctions on iran until the country returns to its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal over iran supreme leader says it's the u.s.

that needs to act 1st going on because if they want to run to return to his commitments under the joint comprehensive plan of action america must completely lift the sanctions not just with words or in paper they just consider we have lifted the sanctions no they must actually lift the sanctions and we have to verify this will the u.s. lift sanctions 1st in order to get iran back to the negotiating table now. the agreement was struck 5 years ago by iran along with the 5 permanent members of the un security council and germany as well of years of complex talks and western allegations that iran was secretly developing nuclear weapons a claim it has always denied the result was the lifting of most sanctions based on iran's commitment to limit your reigning him in richmond and allow inspections but in 28000 the trumpet ministration quit the deal and last month iran confirmed it had resumed enriching uranium to be on the level set in the nuclear pact professor

said mohammad marandi of the university of tehran says washington has a responsibility to fill its own promises. it wasn't iran that left the negotiating table it was the united states that left it wasn't you ron that stopped implementing the deal it was the united states that stopped it the iranians already gave much more than enough the nuclear deal of the j c p o a was a deal where both sides gave something in iran gave quite a lot in fact many iran believe it was a bad deal of work god this 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 promised to do unless it carries out its obligations then there is no deal. republicans and democrats in the u.s.

still had a russian tech firm has come to the rescue of the parlor social media. form after a big tech boycott details on that after the break. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world the politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. the world is driven by shaped by one person of those.

who dares thinks. we dare to ask. u.s. president joe biden has formally presented his ministrations foreign policy mission it's a mixed bag for sure here on this edition of crossfire we break it all down the good the bad and. welcome back to the program parlor of the social media platform taken offline by the tech giants after the couple ho riot is being given a lifeline by a russian firm artist consul general ashcroft has the story. just a bit so you don't want to film the screens over there with the turned off some

shading teacher be facilities what are you those mysterious russian hackers in the how much do i scare you. if you used to work while in general if you're getting pressure from the tech giants is it possible to resist. you close by to. give them a little black hole or your as and who was threatened by the company because you were supporting parlor the future of the great american file board of merging. 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 is a small digital firm in this city that help 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 some supporters and it was accused of harboring radicals and conspiracy theories which the latter 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 do well 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 russian week the number of users soared from less than a 1000000 to over 15000000 in 2020 and just won a lot of people thought that the platform was gone for good parlor has made a surprising comeback with the help of russians.

the russian company that has thrown parlor a lifeline was immediately labeled as dodgy in the us media surprisingly they have agreed to host our film crew at their office so let's find out who this people are and where did they get the courage to play this game against the us back to back. it's. just how many of are you those mysterious russian hackers or internet freedom fighters neither of us don't we're not fond of any thinking group and it's also the news and we don't do any hacking so it must be when information security service we provide global content protection. what i say right off the bat some other place really doesn't look like a secret bunker adds some shady k.g.b.

facility i mean just you know look at that high tea style office humor. is a whole areas cut the question of how did he end up working with parlor in providing services for them doing it wasn't a 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 what it shows us is yes i guess they researched all similar services working globally and decided to hire us currently we met the criteria. we want to use this is our main facility where we service our network succeed to russia to sort of. on the one of them let's not film everything's too but you can see the scale of our operation from a nest of more snow can with film show us a little before from this angle and that's enough to just. so you don't want us to film the screens over there way to get turned off and what kind of important and

secret information on the screens should be hidden from outsiders. potential attackers might be interested in the way our network is set up. a question of when you wouldn't want them to see. what threats is parlor facing. google and apple stopped working with them. of course they're facing numerous threats that must be neutralized and we're helping them do that. bottle are poisonous allegedly one parlor uses your services your company receives the dot millions of american users which can be accessed by russian special services and some of. this is complete nonsense that has nothing to do with reality the traffic is encrypted in most cases so you can't read the messages or part of our users even we come see you. first bar was blocked completely but then they managed to restore the web page it was

a static page that outside of the parlor c.e.o. said the platform would be back and fully operational see what i'm up on the studio to know it's still the call was delivered so how did you manage to do that. we gave them the opportunity to distribute their content that you purchased and it's a 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 tech than from the us government or any other government for that matter. right i mean it's not a real company if they don't have video games in their recreate so this is either a by the way he is one of the senior employees here at the dos guard and we're going to play some soccer right now. to see what beautiful in your whole world was surprised to see parlors impressive

comeback thanks to the russians never one sad right away aha now there are russian akers' or there's a witch hunt of sorts under way a witch hunt or there's like if you're russian you have to be our current you must be bad and sure it's possible that it's all about competition and competition was a morsel possibly the global market is huge for the world. and if there's a chance to remove some competition why not take it. the 1st time i heard of that was when our support team started to get anonymous threats. and who was threatened by the company your company when you guess because you were supporting parlor yes could you just read it out loud for us. give them your all is something you know there's no action if it's not just on you guys out there that means that they're threatening to try and take down on network through some provider so i defend disrupt services already i just. don't know what we can

see that this message was sent from the united states if you would say yes this message was sent by someone in the usa. but if he used it while in general if you're getting fresh air from a tag giant such as one stock apple or amazon was on is it possible to resist it but also say technically still stands. well they can make it really hard for us that's for sure but on the upside they don't own the entire internet yet if we see governments implementing measures to control information flow so most of the control and internet traffic. would be done with it right now we see how the united states is doing it the best you can of the liberty of freedom of speech and democracy is actually working on a mechanism to shut down those ones whatever they want and we're basically saying

no the great american filed wall emerging. saying this should be. at the end of the day guys 3 a party it's really hard to tell what's coming their way now after they came into the spotlight working with a client like parlor is not a crime tactically but it definitely means you're taking on the risk you know and by the way they have a message for those mysterious users who keep sending them threats. not coming in to better focus on your problems at home let's put this in the how much do i scare you. going to. censor global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always head to our website r.t. dot com for the details on all of those stories and many more.

shows seem wrong why don't we just don't. let me. get to shape out just because that's ok and it gains from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. a dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells their bodies on the streets many of them under-age. los angeles police reveal a taste of their daily challenge no if you're going to exploit for a child here in los angeles there we're going to come out you see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight 6 trade.

knowing fluid would see that in the. lobby of the budget i'll blog. and you might in a can matter a canard while we're. on about national. issues and not many. not just us but still some miles on a pull on the model that has human level. ai. and. must know how to set the query letters out loud at all small and lovable so what it . does not give us the impetus that all of you in the nose you know help me get a good feel of a good. personality and know it when i'm. in my name if you had that.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation. for community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere. direct. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallowness.

hello and welcome to cross talk or all things considered i'm peter lavelle u.s. president joe biden has formally presented his administration's foreign policy vision it's a mixed bag for sure here on this edition of crossfire we break it all down the good the bad and the ugly.

to discuss joe biden's foreign policy i'm joined by my guest glenn decent and also he is a professor in author of the book russian conservatism managing change under permanent revolution and here in moscow we have maxine shook off he is next for at the russian international affairs council originally crossed of rules of effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i was appreciate it ok let's go to glenn 1st here in oslo and looking at joe biden's of 1st speech at the state department. was supposed to be his vision here and the mainstream media was positive towards it and he stressed at least in the beginning of his comments about diplomacy but if you look at he entire speech there is no diplomatic initiative being presented and very interesting way where there could be and should be diplomacy is afghanistan and it wasn't even mentioned once.
