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's 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 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 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 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 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 effect to 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
1:05 pm
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 got a head start on the e.u. member states they approved it unilaterally away from brussels as one for all and all for one vaccine program and 5 top 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 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. africa's halted its rollout of the oxford astra zeneca code vaccine after a trial showed only minimal protection against a local strain of the virus. that's true isn't it can novak's trials in south africa have shown that the clinical efficacies diminish substantially the astra zeneca vaccine rollout needs to be put in temporary hold the anglo swedish drug makers now working to adapted to vaccine to tackle the highly infectious of south african mutation of covert 19 in the meantime south africa's inoculation campaign will rely on the pfizer bio on tech and also the johnson and johnson jabs they'll be delivered in the coming weeks ahead of a center for health care journalism in south africa says the long delays in deploying vaccines have allowed new strains to develop so that everyone in the country's 1st straight it of course because the next scene doesn't prove to be so
1:07 pm
effective against the new they are eons and that is essentially a frustration with the science of viruses that we can do anything about because that is how viruses which they evolve in order to be disavowed life and that's why we see these interrogations and we're going to see more mutations around the world in populations that haven't been. rather quickly because if we don't that's a nice quick to be give time for mutations to develop so yes there's big frustration in south africa that our vaccination campaign was likely to start later this week and now it can't and the best thing we can do is to seyne date or just see if astri's any desperate tick tick in severe disease if it doesn't then we need to change our plan and go with added the scenes. state of new york to reveal the nursing home deaths from covert is almost double the number previously reported new
1:08 pm
data shows more than 13000 care home residents have died from covert since march but includes those who were taken to 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 residents who died during the pandemic she's now started a campaign to protect seniors from the virus we were at a loss as to how this happened so my mother was about to go home that morning and we didn't know she was having trouble breathing the facility lacked transparency they did not mean mother had contracted the virus did they 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 violations any any lawsuits against this particular facility ultimately the shutdown has assassinated the death because when family can't get in an advocate
1:09 pm
for their loved one. there's more there's more incidence of neglect before the court ruling the new york attorney general posted her own report suggesting governor cuomo said 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 the numbers only included those who died at. not later in hospital and that the months it took to provide the cumulative data we spend on order to. the new york health department also insists the death rank well below the national average vivian's a as again claims that the governor's office deliberately had 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
1:10 pm
out with a book in which he talks about how his success handling the. 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 you just protect our senior so then nothing like this happens again and the senior community could be safe and not be afraid. of the british queen's being accused of lobbying the government to hide how vast private wealth in a scheme that run for several decades the revelations come from national archive documents uncovered by the guardian newspaper and i think back to 973 back then queen elizabeth the 2nd persuaded the government to enact a legal change allowing companies used by heads of state to be exempt from
1:11 pm
transparency procedures a paper says she was then able to give the shell company to conceal her finances up until at least 2011 of the queen's net worth is still unknown but it's believed to run into hundreds of millions of pounds according to the files the buckingham palace legal team used an obscure procedure called queen's consent to get the changes through parliament and allows the moloch to see bills in advance and withhold approval if the content affects the interests of the crown buckingham palace is rebuffed the allegations saying that the use of the queen's consent is standard practice. consent is always granted by the monarch when requested by government and he is so sure that the sovereign has blocked legislation is simply incorrect whether crean's consent is required is decided by parliament independently in matters that would affect crown interests last hour i spoke to british former british home office minister norman baker he thinks that the secrecy surrounding the role finances has no place in
1:12 pm
a democracy the queen should be treated as any other citizen is treated and to exempt herself from a distillation which is embarrassing but to allow others to be chopped up but it just nation is created to benefit herself the fact of the matter is you have to ask where the money is come from politically now areas where the average really impounds it is not come from 0 but in the lottery it's come from tax breaks or from beneficial changes legislation the so-called private property which a queen has for example standing on was actually bought for queen victoria because she paid the amount of money she did she want to take her ged victorian times the royal finances are shrouded in mystery quite deliberately so that what we do know is that they are hugely beneficial for the queen and her family and that's both improper it's an insult to democracy in my view but it's also which is a danger to the royal family or their own family would be well advised to amend
1:13 pm
these sort of situations before they're forced to do so by parliament. republicans and democrats in the u.s. congress a locked in an unlikely feud over metal detectors that has left more than a few people wondering if now about absolutely anything. yesterday approximately 9 59 am multiple members observe the speaker of the house and 2 in the house chamber without completing security screening. paid the fine speaker below saying.

1:16 pm
of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. actually as a slut is the survival god stacee let's learn. let's say i'm not so i guess you're a police response they have to fight well street smart thank you for. telling the story 6 that's right. i get more of monday's developments germany sweden and poland have expelled one
1:17 pm
russian diplomat h. in a tit for tat move after russia sent 3 embassy stuff as home last week that was for attending a protest in support of opposition activists alexina valmy more on the story next for mounties don't call to germany's foreign ministry said that this recent expulsion of russian diplomats was done in court close coordination with sweden and paul and they consider this to be a tit for tat response to russia's earlier expulsion of their diplomats from the country which germany said was unjustified but we heard from the russian foreign ministry that they believe that this recent move was actually unjustified after all russian authorities had expelled the european diplomats in question after a video was released of these people apparently participating in protests supporting the recently imprisoned opposition activist i would say deval nick now the european diplomat said that they were not participating they were actually just observing but this couldn't have come at a worse time especially because relations between the european union and russia
1:18 pm
have been made even worse than they already were ever since he was sentenced to nearly 3 years in prison today's verdict against vilely is a bitter blow against fundamental freedoms and the rule of law. russia and the chino valley must be released immediately because no we're stuck on the same topic the west is trying to dodge the issue of finding the real truth of what's happened when and where it's only seen a felony by focusing on protests in russia on numerous requests to provide us with the results of his test remain unanswered by germany france sweden and even the pope at the o.p.c. w. they say you already know everything well this is impolite at the very least and such are again so you have in lights and europe is absolutely inappropriate and unacceptable but now just to remind our viewers alex of only had spent a lot of portion of last year in a german hospital recovering from an illness that he claimed was a poisoning sanctioned by the kremlin now when the opposition activist returns to moscow last month he was immediately arrested in the airport for violating
1:19 pm
a probationary sentence that was leveled against him in 2014 and the european court of human rights claims that he was not given a fair trial and so they don't recognize the legitimacy of this arrest but really this recent exchange of expulsions seems just like another example of russia and the european union not seeing eye to eye on the facts. next pollo the social media platform taken offline by the tech giants to the capitol hill riots in washington is being given a lifeline by a russian. constantine roscoe's hadn't occurred around. just a bit so you don't want to film the screens over there. turned off from shooting teacher b. facilities are you those mysterious russian hackers in the how much do i scare you . but 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.
1:20 pm
give them a little black hole on your is. and who was threatened by the company because you were supporting parlor to feature the great american fun award 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 strong 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
1:21 pm
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 russian 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.
1:22 pm
is going. to some of them are you those mysterious russian hackers or internet freedom fighters in it 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's 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
1:23 pm
with that social media platform we met them when they became our customers and what i chose us 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 where can with film show us from this angle that's enough. just to do 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 screen should be hidden from outsiders. potential attackers might be interested in the way our network is set up so i don't look a question when you wouldn't want them to see it. what threats is parlor facing. google and apple stopped working with them. of course they're facing numerous
1:24 pm
threats that must be neutralized and we're helping them do that puts it up on their borders and 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 at the same note this is complete nonsense that has nothing to do with reality the traffic is encrypted and that's 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 posts that the front 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 a quick. 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
1:25 pm
a russian based platform but we're completely independent from us based on big tech than 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 beautiful and your whole world was surprised to see parlors impressive comeback thanks to the russians never once sat 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 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
1:26 pm
a chance to remove some competition why not take it. 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 could you just read it out loud for us. give them your. us nationals 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 ally debt and disrupt services already i just. don't know what we can see that this message was sent from the united states. usa. 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
1:27 pm
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 control and internet traffic. would be done with and right now we see how the united states is doing it the best you can of liberty freedom of speech and democracy is actually working on a mechanism to shut down those ones whatever they want and then 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 taking on the risk you know and by
1:28 pm
the way they have a message for those mysterious users who keep sending them threats. not. to better focus on your problems at home let's put this in the how much do i scare you. going to. where online and all the social networks look us up. i'm calling bright in the next update in around half an hour so you. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. the

1:30 pm
but out of it all small. let me try not to give the impetus to all of you in the most minute let me get a feel good. shot and know it when i'm. in my name and here are the. best headers survival guide book stacie just like all going to start sampling travel resurfaced. be sure it's still there are you going to get it back. next year . oh heck no it's just such repatriations look at the after 7 years. bill of the separate kaiser board. and their free for underage prostitutes are controlled by a pimp these traffickers exploit on average $4.00 to $6.00 girls at any one time
