freedom of speech and democracy is actually working on a mechanism to shut down whatever they want and we're basically seeing now the great american file wall emerging. broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our 2 international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us now the european commission president is calling on countries to stop competing and work together to tackle covered $1000.00 that is after a dispute with britain over vaccine supplies and while the e.u. considers authorizing russia's sputniks the shot which a leading western study has shown to work more than 90 percent of the time. 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 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 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 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 that unilaterally away from brussels as one for all and all for one vaccine program and 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 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. south africa has halted its rollout of the oxford astra zeneca covered vaccine after a trial showed only minimal protection against a local stream strain of virus that's to zeneca novak's trials in south africa have shown that the clinical efficacies diminish substantially the estrogenic vaccine rollout needs to be put in temporary hold. the anglo swedish drug maker is now working to adapt its vaccine to tackle the highly infectious south african mutation of govern $1000.00 and in the meantime south africa's inoculation campaign will rely on the pfizer bio on tech and also johnson and johnson jobs which will 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 everyone in the countries

1st straight it of course because that scene doesn't prove to be so effective against the new they are ian and that is essentially a frustration with the science of viruses that pecan do anything about because that is how viruses which they evolve in order to be disadvantaged and that's why we see the senate ations and begin to see more mutations and round the world in populations that haven't been. run out of quickly because if we don't that's a nice quick to be get 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 seyne date or just see if a stress any cut desperate takes again severe disease if he doesn't then we need to change our plan and go with added eckstein. the state of new york has revealed that nursing home deaths from covert are almost double the number previously reported

new data shows more than 13000 to care home residents have died from covered since 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 has 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 tell us my 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 a violation in 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 ones 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 is administration misled the public and under counted deaths associated with nursing homes by at least 50 percent however health officials claimed they always made it very clear the numbers only included those who died in care homes not later in the hospital and the months it took to provide cumulative data were spent on auditing. the new york health department also insists the deaths rank well below the national average given as i ask again went on to claim 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 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. british queen is being accused of lobbying the government to hide her vast private wealth and a scheme that ran 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 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 the queen's net worth is still unknown but is 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 it allows the monarch to see bills in advance and withhold approval if the content affects the interests of the crown buckingham palace as rebuffed the allegations saying the use of queen's consent was standard practice consent is always granted by the monarch or requested by government and he says 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 earlier we spoke with former british home office minister norman baker he thinks the secrecy surrounding the world finances has no place in 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 monies come from that the queen now has where ever it really impounds it is not come from what the military it's come from tax breaks all from beneficial changes let's lation the so-called private property which the queen has for example sending him was actually queen victoria because she'd be overpaid the amounts of money she did to undertake her gigi's victorian times the royal finances all 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 is an insult to democracy in my view but it's also one which is a danger to the royal family as are all found we would be well advised to amend these sort of situations before they're forced to do so by opponent. republicans and the democrats in the u.s. congress are locked in an unlikely feud over metal detectors and it has left some wondering if they will now argue about absolutely anything.

yesterday approximately 90 9 am multiple members observed the speaker of the house and 2 in the house chamber without completing security screening. paid the fine speaker below say. speaker pelosi folded her own find a metal detector find in the house chamber the mall my friend louis go to mosul went through security went to the restroom immediately adjacent security we didn't return through the metal detectors and was fined $5000.00 by speak about lucy i had not received any unusual incident reports from the u s c p concerning the speaker of the house.

still to come in the program a russian tech firm has come to the rescue of the parlors. media platform after a big boycott a special report on that a short break this is our 2 international. let's discuss what happened some way. on the stoppable source tries to move an

object this sounds interesting.

welcome back to our team international and that actually does it for me this hour but before i let you go we want to update you on an interesting david versus goliath story of sorts a special report on parlor the social media platform taken offline by the tech giants after the capital rights is being given a lifeline by a russian firm no less parties constantine has had a look around. just for the so you don't want to film the screens over there. that turned off some shady p.h.p. facilities 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 if. you.

give them a little black hole or you know how it is and who was threatened by the company because you were supporting parlor the future of the great american file 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 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 harbor. radicals and conspiracy theories switched the last of the lads 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 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 sloshing week the number of users soared from less than a 1000000 to over a 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 grown parlor a lifeline was immediately labeled as dodgy in the u.s. 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 attack.

it's not. 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 there's also the news and we don't do any hacking into mr cohen information security service we provide global content protection. what i say right off the bat some other place really doesn't look like secret bunker adds some shady k.g.b. facility i mean just you know look at that high tea style office humor. israel arius cook the question how did he end. working with the 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. 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 more snow can with film show us from this angle but that's enough. just to do so you don't want to film the screens over there what a way to 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. 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. of course they're facing numerous threats that must be neutralized and we're helping them do that. in a 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 and just dream so you can't rebut massachusetts part of the 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 this to get to know always deal with their so how do 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 with 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 and your whole world was surprised to see parlors impressive comeback thanks to the russians never once sat right away are there are russian russian hackers 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 banned to show it's possible that it's all about competition and competition was

a mortal possibly the global market is huge for the world. and if there's a chance to remove some competition why not take it in. 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. ear there's no matter if it's not just fine you know but that means that they're threatening to try and take down our network through some provider. and disrupt our services or you guys just. don't know what we can see that this message was sent from the united states. you would say yes this message was sent by someone in the usa. but if you use the

filing generally if you're getting fresh air from attack giants such as apple or amazon mazel and knowing each is 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 the computer and internet traffic. would be done with it 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 as much whatever they want and we're basically saying no the great american file will emerging. say this. at the end of the day guys 3 of 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 masses for those mysterious users who keep sending them threats. not. to have a better focus on your problems at home let's put this in the how much do i scare you. going to. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics. i'm show business. imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century what are the chapters called gun violence school shootings. first it was my job it

was my field bill it was my savings i have nothing i have nothing to lose no i don't trust aloof or resources i look for jobs i look for everything i can to make this pass. a law in the doing is. the road to the american dream paved with good refugees and this very idealized image of our america needs americans look pasta the depths that happen every single day this is a modern history of the usa america on our t.v. . shows seem wrong why don't we all just all. meet new world get to shape our disdain become agitated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground.

knowing through the woods that i have no idea who did it. i knew him back in a can matter a canard was. first and about nationality. not an age. just us but feels on miles on them that offers them a label. and the national association. must know how to set the community. a little bit all small and lovable so what is. needed cannot give us the impetus that all of you in the nose you know get

a good feel good. shot and know it when i might. be my name a few of the. like most of the united states prostitution is illegal in california. merely 5 kilometers from hollywood's tourist back boulevards a dark industry comes to life each night as dozens of young women are selling their bodies on the street. in the hollywood vice squad sergeant who knows and his men are gearing up for

a major operation if western. on the way back raven to. their mission tonight take down the prostitutes customers in a rush their pimps. hospital confirm a prostitution violation with the suspect and when violation has been obtained you see outrage will give a pre-determined signal. the police officers are going to do something that would be unthinkable in france go undercover posing as prostitutes. these agents known as undercovers will encourage customers to pay them and catch them in the act they will also try to be recruited by pimps.
