you know when i bought. the big stories from. brussels now. vaccine was. pushing to approve. western studies found to be 90 percent efficient. rollout of the astra zeneca vaccine on hold trials. of. the corona virus. the russian company health social media network. google apple and amazon are following the capital.

the best liberty freedom of speech and democracy. basically seeing no great. reaction live from moscow this is r.t. international welcome to the program 1st the european commission president is calling on countries to stop competing and work together. with britain over vaccine supplies and while the e.u. considers authorizing russia's. which are leading western study 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 ever before there's little on the line has being keen and in a recent comments to stress in a void it's 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 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 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. minister yen spawn is also you said this 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 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. that since are all about effect to safety in the veil 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'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 fact 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. meantime south africa's halted its rollout of the oxford astra zeneca kovi vaccine after a trial showed only minimal protection against a local strain of the virus. astra zeneca novak's trials in south africa have shown that the clinical efficacies diminish substantially the astra zeneca vaccine rollout needs to be put on temporary hold the i know swedish drug maker is now working to adapt it to vaccine to tackle the highly infectious south african mutation of covert 90 and in the meantime south africa's inoculation campaign will rely instead on the pfizer bio on tech and also the johnson and johnson jobs they'll be delivered in the coming weeks the head of a center for health care journalism in south africa says the long delays in deploying vaccines have allowed new strains to develop. so everyone in the country's 1st straight it of course because that scene doesn't prove to be so 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 new taishan 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 data to see if a stress any desperate tick tick in severe disease if it doesn't then we need to change our plan and go with added the scenes. actually the state of new york revealed the nursing home deaths from covert is almost double the number that was previously reported new data shows more than 13000 residents have died from

covert since march that includes those who were taken to hospital and died that 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 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 the she was 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 one. there's more there's more incidence of neglect before the

court ruling the new york attorney general posted her own report suggesting gov cohen most of ministration misled the public and undercounted deaths associated with nursing homes by least 50 percent however health officials claimed they always made it clear the numbers only included those who died at care homes not later in hospital and that the months it took to provide community data was spent on. the new york health department also insists the deaths rank well below the national average if you die as a gun claims but the governor's office deliberately hid the real numbers. but 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 if other families with step up our governor andrew cuomo came out with a book in which he talks about how his success of handling the 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 you just protect our senior so then nothing like this happens again and the senior community could be safe and not be afraid. british queen's being accused of lobbying the government to hide how vast private wealth that a scheme that run for several decades the revelations come from national archives documents uncovered by the guardian newspaper and they date back to 973 back then queen elizabeth the 2nd persuaded the government to enact a legal training allowing companies used by heads of state to be exempt from transparency procedures a paper says she was then able to use

a shell company to conceal have finances up to at least 2011 mcqueen'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 the queen's consent to get the changes through parliament and allows the monitor to see bills in advance and withhold approval if the content affects the interests of the crown buckingham palace has rebuffed the allegation saying that the use of queen's consent was standard practice consent is always granted by the monarch when requested by government and use ocean that the sovereign has blocked legislation is simply incorrect whether the greens consent is required is decided by parliament independently in matters that would affect crown interests i spoke with former british home office minister norman baker he thinks that the secrecy surrounding the royal fan finances has no place in 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 i'll just say she was created to benefit herself the fact of the matter is you have to ask where the money is come from politically now where the a group really impounds it has not come from over 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 sandringham was actually bought for queen victoria because she paid the amount of money she did she want to take her gigi's victorian times the royal finances are shrouded in mystery quite deliberately so but 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 as are all found we would be well advised to amend these situations before they're forced to do so by parliament. publicans

shooting teacher be facility what are you those mysterious russian hackers in the how much do i scare you. if you use that worth while in general if you're getting pressure from the tech giants is it possible to resist that. 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 people sleeping with a great american foil wall imaging. 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 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.

the russian company that has thrown parlor a lifeline was immediately labeled as dodgy in the us media while 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 task. it's not. just how many of are you those mysterious russian hackers or internet freedom fighters and it's neither of us don't we're not fond of any thinking group news and we don't do any hacking it must 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 cut the question 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 is yes 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 networks to russia to sort of. on the one of them let's not film everything but you can see the scale of our operation from a nest of 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 screen 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 because. what threats is parlor facing them. google and apple stopped working with them. in the course they're facing numerous threats that must be neutralized and we're helping them do that. in the bottle or poison some legibly 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 in most cases the stream so you can't read that massachusetts 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 site of the last is that the parlor c.e.o. said the platform would be back and fully operational see what a bonus to get a new office still with a call was delivered. so how did you manage to do that was that i knew. we gave them the opportunity to distribute their content at the new bush last minute so 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 us based on big tech and 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 there rick ration over and 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 mortal or 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 was when are supporting him started to get anonymous threats. and who was threatened by the company your company when you yes because you were supporting parlor yes could you just read it out loud for us. give them your. ear 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 networks through some provider or

a wide services i just. don't know as 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. while in general if you're getting fresh air from attack 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 we see governments implementing measures to control information flow. and internet traffic. 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 much whatever they want and then we're basically saying

no the great american funnel wall emerging. say 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 crime technically 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. to better focus on your problems at home let's put this in the how much do i scare you. and don't forget he is online all the time around the clock on your favorite social network and often don't call from the moscow newsroom for now i'm calling me again in just a minute 35 minutes for you next up things.

now look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders to conflict with the 1st law. of the day should or should be very careful about official intelligence and the point of view screen is to create trust in shia. areas seen with artificial intelligence where some of the demon. must protect its own existence was excessive.

i'm afshin rattansi we're going underground for novolog down edition of the u.s. u.k. you armed israeli has strikes on syria in part 2 we'll hear from the israeli side

after last week's watching the interview with iconic palestinian leaders scholar and activist talked on but 1st a leading u.s. voice on coronavirus dr anthony fauci makes an address today on the lessons learned from covert 19 joining me now from plymouth in new hampshire is never he sont as some of 2020 democratic presidential candidate but he sounded thank you so much levy for coming on i want to ask 1st of all obviously any chance of universal health care in your country to combat who or virus well that's a fantastic question as you're presently aware you are 70 percent of the american public who supports a medicare for all single payer healthcare system we would have 52 percent of republicans and 85 percent of democrats so i think you asked the fundamental question i talk to folks throughout the country most even in eastern kentucky. mcdowell county west virginia where 79 percent of the people voted for donald trump i think it's absolute necessity and the way it's going to happen is through the

grassroots if we can get millions of folks the march on washington it's very complicated as a result of the coronavirus but i do think we could have a medicare for all sick or healthcare system i mean just to be paid off on the supported one no job for him in the biden cabinet that's a group. i mean you see. his on the record for wanting to veto universal health care saying $35.00 trillion dollars that's too much he made. going to significantly raise taxes on the middle class was too expensive i mean i know for our international viewers obviously you have one of the most expensive maybe the most expensive health care system for your taxpayers in the world double . and h.s. here in britain you have so correct i myself currently do not have health care. as of february 1st and so i understand fully what's going on to get you to look

through and to see how things work you know the term i don't know for you it is amazing the term deductible it's it's almost it's the most ridiculous thing you ever heard in your life that in fact you have to pay out of pocket expenses whether it's $6000.12 'd 1000 dollars 18000 dollars in order to actually be able to get health care you have to pay out of pocket so sir it's your 100 percent correct and i can only say this there right now that it is absolutely under ceci the limits of the worst up in demick that we've had probably in a 100 years is extraordinary important that we have a health care that guarantees health care to every man woman child but out of pocket expenses the you know biden changes his mind you think he still thinks in his head that it's too well onerous for the u.s. taxpayer to have a universal healthcare system even joining a coronavirus pandemic which exposes the injustices of healthcare in the united states and the problem with me have is that you know joe by.
