you know when i'm. in a. vaccine war i mean chronic. pushing to approve rush's show. and study found to be 90 percent efficient. on the whole point of fact and that's against the fall spread of the local mutation 19. finally releases data revealing an almost doubling of coronavirus deaths in. the russian i.t. company helping us social media networks on line. google following the capital riots. the past year liberty freedom of speech and democracy is actually

working on a mechanism to shut down whatever they want basically seeing now the great american . international from moscow welcome to the program. first the european commission president is calling on countries to stop competing and to work together. it's off to a britain of a vaccine supply while the e.u. considers authorizing russia's v. shot which 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 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 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. 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 we 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 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'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. but africa's halted its rollout of the oxford astra zeneca coated 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 anglo swedish drug maker is now working to adapted to vaccine to tackle the highly infectious south african mutation of covert 90 in the meantime south africa's inoculation campaign will rely on the pfizer bio on tech and also the johnson and johnson job which will be delivered in the coming weeks and the head of a center for health care journalism in south africa says the longer late in the ploy and vaccines have allowed new strains to develop. so everyone in the country's 1st straight it of course because the next 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 do see more mutations around the wolves 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 we can't and the best thing we can do is to obtain data just see if astri's any good desperate tick tick in severe disease if he doesn't then we need to change our plan and go with added the scenes. state of new york surveilled the nursing home deaths from covert is almost double the number previously reported new data shows more than 13000 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 i'm 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 c.d.'s from the virus we were at a loss as to how this happened 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 mean mother had contracted the virus did you 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 deaths 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 most administration 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 cat homes and not later in hospital but the months it took to provide cumulative data were spent on motivating. the new york health department also insists the death rank well below the national average vivian's i asked again the claims that 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 talks about how his success of handling the public right 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. of the british queen to being accused of being the government to how you have vast private wealth in a scheme the run for several decades revelations come from a national archive documents and covered by the guardian newspaper and they date back to 973 back then queen elizabeth the 2nd persuaded the government to enact a legal change allowing companies used by heads of states to be exempt from transparency procedures the paper says she was then able to use a shell company to conceal her finances up until at least 2011 queen's net worth is

still unknown but it's believed to run into the hundreds of millions of pounds. according to the files the buckingham palace legal team used to pursue a procedure called queen's consent to get the changes through parliament it allows the moment to see bills in advance and withhold approval of the content affects the interests of the crown buckingham palace rebuffed the allegations saying the use of queen's consent was 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 consensus 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 the secrecy surrounding the role 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 it

will just nation is created to benefit herself the fact of the matter is you have to ask where the money is come from politically no house where the average really impounds it is 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 clean house for example standing on was actually bought for queen victoria because she'd be overpaid the amount of money she did to undertake her gigi's 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 is an insult to the democracy in my view but it's also one which is a danger to the royal family as are all family would be well advised to amend these sort of situations before they're forced to do so by parliament. republicans and democrats in the u.s. congress unlocked an unlikely feud over metal detectors and it's left some

wondering if l. now walking about absolutely anything. yesterday approximately 90 9 am multiple members observe the speaker of the house and 2 in the house chamber without completing security screening. pay the fine speaker pelosi.

here without a still to come a russian tech firms come to the rescue of the policy social media platform. tech boycott going to special report on that for you and around 90 seconds from now. 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. the world is driven by dream shaped by.

the day or thinks. we dare to ask. u.s. president joe biden has formally presented his the ministrations foreign policy mission it's a mixed bag for sure here on this edition of rostock we break it all down the good the bad and. welcome back part of the social media platform taken offline by the tech giants off the capital riots he's big on a lifeline by a russian all these constantine wash cups i don't look around. just a bit so you don't want to film the screens over there with the turned off from

shooting teacher b. facilities are you those mysterious russian hackers in the how much do i scare you . or to use the book 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 defeat in the great american final world 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 whipped 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 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 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 so 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'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 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 their criteria. this is our main facility where we service our networks see to russia to sort of. the let's not film everything but you can see the scale of our operation from a nest of more snow where can with film show us far 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 . like a question when you wouldn't want them to see it because of what threats is parlor facing them. and 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. 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 no this is complete nonsense that has nothing to do with reality the traffic is encrypted in most cases it just seems so you can't read the massachusetts part of our users even we come see it's. first bar was blocked completely then they managed to restore the web page it was

a static page at the site of the lacrosse that the parlor c.e.o. said to the platform would be back and fully operational see what i'm up on the stupid enough said. so how did you manage to do that was that i knew it. was more than 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 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 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

akers' racket 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 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 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 that means that they're threatening to try and take down our network through some provider or a wide service is somebody 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. but if you use the filing generally if you're getting fresher from a tag giant such as ones that a apple or amazon was on going to give 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 from us on this for their control and internet traffic. just may 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 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 cry 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 coming in to better focus on your problems at home let's put this in the how much do i scare you. going to. luckily for you it's much easier to find out all the social networks or. that's it from us here in moscow for now i'll have your next world update in just under 35 minutes see that.

seem wrong. just don't hold. any old belief get to shape out this day you can stick out to it and engage with 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 they were going to come out you see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight the 6 trades.

knowing through the woods that there could be. good. and bad in a can matter. and a bad national. mall and not just us but still some miles on them. and they are. and. must know how to set the community into. a lot of the soul would it. not. give us the impetus that others in the north you know to me get a feel good. shot and know if and when i'm about to my name and the.

new gold rush is underway and gonna thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich is a good. as. those that were children are torn between gold. my family was very poor i thought i was doing my best. get back to school which side will have the strongest appeal.

hello and welcome to cross talk are 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 up rules in fact that

means you can jump in anytime you want and i was appreciate it ok let's go to glen 1st here and i'll slow in 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 gyp clomid but if you look at the entire speech there is no diplomatic initiative being presented and very interesting way where there could be and should be to. toma see is afghanistan and it wasn't even mentioned once and i making a reference to the previous administration's deal to get us troops out of afghanistan remarkably it was absent and we'll talk about how russia played a role in it so essentially i saw no restraint i saw no real as and in many ways the continuity of the trim foreign policy go ahead plan.
