i was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to school and will have the strongest appeal. in a u.-turn brussels now calls to stop vaccine wars amid chronic job shortages the e.u. is pushing to approve russia shot which a top western studies found more than 90 percent efficient. italian health officials also say they want sputnik be as they countries not kill ation campaign starters. also this hour 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. is it's the russian i.t. company helping us social media network parlor stay online after brands by google and apple all in the capital right. the best you know liberty freedom of speech and

democracy is actually what you want to make an ism to shut down whatever they want and we're basically seeing now the great american final wall emerging. here watching our 2 international coming to you live from the russian capital this and every hour welcome to the program. the president of the european commission has called on countries to stop competing and worse together to tackle cope at 19 this comes after a row with the u.k. over back scene supplies and while the e.u. considers authorizing russia's sputnik the shop which is a leading western study has shown 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 every before it's a little on the lion 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 sort of 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 the deliveries 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 ireland. well put at risk peace in northern ireland 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 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 ministry and 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 a deficiency of this 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 old defectiveness safed 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 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 is 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 go to head start on the 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 you member states 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 at least remains one of the worst hit it hot spots 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. and only as suffering from vaccine shortages it got the 1st batch of britain's astra zeneca job on saturday after roan threatened legal action over delays we've heard from italian health counsellor alessio tomato he thinks the e.u. needs to act faster and should start using russia's vaccine. through them in the us in this case it's not the jobs origins 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 to 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. at the will of god speaking about the doses that are available in italy not 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 through. your brand so i support it but it must be a super national decision that involves several states when we have a considerable number of people inoculated bucks in the nation certificates will certainly be a garden tour for the safety of flights. in the us the state of new york

has revealed the nursing home death toll from co that is almost double the north number previously reported the data shows more than 13000 care home residents have died from co bed 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 we 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 to she was ok and fine it looked like a very safe place we never thought about doing the research about past history past

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 so administration misled the public and under-counted deaths associated with nursing homes by at least 50 percent over health officials claimed they always made it clear the numbers only included those who died in nursing homes not later at the hospital on the months it took to provide cumulative data were spent on auditing the new york health department also insists the dusts rank well below the national average vivian sales 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 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 in which he talked about how his success 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 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 the nothing like this happens again and that the senior community could be safe and not be afraid. president joe biden has said he's not going to lift sanctions on iran until the country returns to its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal

over iran's supreme leader says it's the u.s. that needs to act 1st. if they want to run 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 sanctions 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. the agreement 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 a claim it has always denied the result was the lifting of most sanctions based on the runs commitment to limit your rhenium enrichment and allow inspections but in 2018 the trumpet ministration quit the deal and last month around confirmed it had resumed enriching uranium to be on the level sat in the pact professor said

mohammad marandi of the university of tehran says washington has a responsibility to fulfill its own promises. it wasn't iran that left the negotiating table it was the united states that left it wasn't you ron 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 on 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 and the u.s.

still had a russian tax firm has come to the rescue of the parlor social media. platform after a big tax boycott a special report on that right after this break. join

me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. welcome back to the program parlor of the social media platform taken offline by the tech giants after the capitol hill ride is being given a lifeline by a russian firm artie's constantine rushkoff has the story. just to so you don't want to film the screens over there. the turned off from shooting teacher b.

facility what are you those mysterious russian hackers in the how much do i scare you. initially 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 on your is and who was threatened by the company because you were supporting parlor the future of the great american filed wall 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 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 popular among conservatives and from supporters and it was accused of harboring radicals and conspiracy theories which elaborately 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 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.

the russian company that has thrown parlor a lifeline was immediately labeled as dodgy in the us media well 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 big tech. is going. to some of them are you those mysterious russian hackers or internet freedom fighters neither of us don't we're not fond of any thinking group and there's also the news and we don't do any hacking and getting us to only 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. it was a hilarious. how did he end up working with parlor and providing services for them 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 but we met them when they became our customers and what it shows us so i guess they researched all similar services working globally and decided to hire us currently we met their criteria. this is our main facility where we service our network succeed. let's not film everything but you can see the scale of our operation from a master moore's law we are can with film show us from this angle that's enough but just so you don't want to film the screens over there might 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 so i don't like a question when you wouldn't want them to see it. what threats is parlor facing them. google and apple stopped working with them you can use one of course they're facing numerous threats that must be neutralized and we're helping them do that. in the bottle or poison so logically one parlor uses your services your company receives the dot of millions of american users which can be accessed by russian special services it's a host note this is complete nonsense that has nothing to do with reality the traffic is encrypted in most cases just dream so you can't read the massive part of our users even we come see its. first bar was blocked completely then they managed to restore the web page it was

a static page at the side of the post is that the parlor c.e.o. said the platform would be back and fully operational see what i'm up almost to get a new office still with the. so how did you manage to do that was that i knew. 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 but we're completely independent from u.s. based big tech banned from the u.s. 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 mutable and your whole world was surprised to see parlors impressive

comeback thanks to the russians never one sad right away aha now there are russian hackers cracking it 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 a hacker and you must be banned to show 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 paolo 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 could you just read it out loud for us. to give them. is not sure if it's not just on you guys out there and that means that they're threatening to try and take down on network through some provider why debt and

disrupt services already i just. don't know what we can see that this message was sent from the united states. to us. say yes this message was sent by someone in the usa. but if you use the filing generally if you're getting fresher from a tag giants such as apple or amazon was on is it possible to resist it but also say technically it will stay as. 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 on this the content internet traffic. will be done with and right now we see how the united states is doing it the best you can of the liberty freedom of speech and democracy is actually working on a mechanism to shut down as well whatever they want and we're basically saying no

the great american final wall emerging. saying this. at the end of the day guys through 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 cry technically but it definitely means you're taken 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. that's been our breakdown of today's top headlines for now but if you're looking for more you can always had to our website r.t. dot com and continue in this hour. no
