do you turn brussels calls for a vaccine war. pushing to approve russia which. has found more than 90 percent effective. south africa it's a roll out of the vaccine on hold trial some point. after a court ruling the state of new york finally releases data revealing an almost doubling of. russia visits the russian company u.s.
9:01 pm
social media network parlor. by google. following the capital riots. of liberty freedom of speech and democracy. whatever they want basically seeing the great american. air broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our international. certainly glad to have you with us. now the european commission president is calling on countries to stop competing and work together to tackle covert 19 that is after a dispute with britain over vaccine supplies and while the u. e.u. considers authorizing russia's sputnik the shot a leading western company has shown it to work more than 90 percent of the time
9:02 pm
take a look. 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 those live on the line has been 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 remote ship the center of and what's a 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
9:03 pm
zeneca job to the european union that almost resulted in or at least threats all were made of a potential ban on exports manufactured for or 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
9:04 pm
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 it would be in a medical agency we would be able to certify the efficiency of these vaccine you know that would be useful szell into being union the state would be good news because as you know we are facing
9:05 pm
a shortage of vaccine. that since are all about effectiveness 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 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 the 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
9:06 pm
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 covert vaccine after a trial showed only minimal protection against a local strain of the virus. best was in a can novak's trials in south africa have shown that the clinical efficacies diminish substantially the estrogenic of vaccine rollout needs to be put in temporary hold. the anglo swedish drug maker is now working to adapt its a vaccine to tackle the highly infectious south african mutation of covert 19 and in the meantime south africa's inoculation campaign will rely on the pfizer bio on
9:07 pm
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 country's 1st straight it of course because the next 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 split they evolve in order to be disadvantaged and that's why we see these new taishan and we're going to see more mutations and around the world in populations that haven't been. rather quickly because if we don't that's a nice quick to be good time for mutations to develop so yes these big frustration in south africa are vaccination campaign was likely to start later this week and now it can't and the best thing we can do is to seyne dates or just see if
9:08 pm
a stress any desperate tick tick in 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 coverage are almost double the number previously reported new data shows more than 13000 care home residents have died from covert 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 hasn't now started a campaign to protect seniors from a virus 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 they not
9:09 pm
stylista she was having difficulty breathing they kept reassuring us to she was over here and find 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. now 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 that they always made it clear the numbers only included those who died in care homes not later in the hospital and the months it took to provide humility for data were spent on auditing the new york health department also insists the deaths
9:10 pm
rank well below the national average vivian again claims 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 you should protect our senior so that nothing like this happens again and the senior community could be safe

and not be afraid. the british queen is being accused of lobbying of the government to hide her vast private wealth in a scheme that ran for several decades the revelations come from the national archive documents uncovered by the guardian newspaper and they date back to 1973 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 the 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 it allows the monarch to see bills in advance and withhold approval if
9:12 pm
the content affects the interests of the crown buckingham palace has rebuffed the allegations saying the use of queen's consent was standard practice consensus always granted by the monarch requested by government and he says that the sovereign has blocked legislation is simply incorrect whether crean's consent is a cryer it 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 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 ration is created to benefit herself the fact the matter is you have to ask where the monies come from that the queen now has where over a 1000000000 pounds it has not come from what the military it's come from tax
9:13 pm
breaks all from beneficial changes that station the so-called private property which a queen has for example the sandringham was actually bought for queen victoria because she'd be overpaid the amounts of money she did to undertake 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 is an insult to democracy in my view but it's also one which is a danger to the royal family whether 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 are locked in an unlikely feud over metal detectors of all things and it has left some wondering if they will now argue about absolutely anything.

interesting david versus goliath story of sorts parlor these social media platform taken offline by the tech giants after the capital riots is being given a lifeline by a russian firm no less or to use constantine of has had a look around. just a bit so you don't want to film the screens over there with the turned off from shooting teacher b. facility what are you those mysterious russian hackers in the how much do i scare you. if you use the word 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 or you'll be as and who was threatened by the company because you were supporting parlor defeat in the great american final world of merging.
9:17 pm
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 from supporters and it was accused of harboring radicals and conspiracy theories which the last of the lads to be january 6th violence and so apple google and amazon pulled the plug on a service that many saw as an alternative to the 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
9:18 pm
than a 1000000 to over 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 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. just how many of are you those mysterious russian hackers or internet freedom fighters and neither of us don't we're not fond of any thinking group news and we don't do any hacking so it must only when
9:19 pm
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. is a whole areas but the question is how did he end up working with the parlor in providing services for them doing 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 your so i guess they researched all similar services working globally and decided to hire us currently we met the criteria.
9:20 pm
we want to use this is our main facility where we service our networks and see to russia to sort of on the one of them let's not film everything's too but you can see the scale of our operation from a nest of more snow can with film show us a little far from this angle but that's enough to just. so you don't want us to film the screens over there what a way to 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. a question of 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 threats that must be neutralized and we're helping them do that. by your borders and so logically one parlor uses your services your company receives the data of millions of american users which can be accessed by russian special services and some of. this is
9:21 pm
complete nonsense that has nothing to do with reality the traffic is encrypted in most cases and just seems so you can't read the massive jews are part of our 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 our side of the. c.e.o. said the platform would be back and fully operational see what i'm up almost to get a new office. 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. completely independent from us based a big band from the us government or any other government for that matter.
9:22 pm
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 one sound right away aha now there are 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 bad and sure it's possible that it's all about competition and competition was a mortal possibly the global i.t. 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 it was when our support team started to get anonymous threats. and who was threatened by the company your company when you guess because
9:23 pm
you were supporting parlor yes could you just read it out loud for us. give them your. you know that's not sure if it's not just on you but that means that they're threatening to try and take down our network through some provider oh i didn't disrupt our services are you i just. don't know what we can see that this message was sent from the united states if 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 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 other side they don't own the entire internet yet if
9:24 pm
we see governments implementing measures to control information flow. 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 and freedom of speech and democracy is actually working on a mechanism. a shutdown of whatever they want and we're basically saying no the great american fire wall emerging. say this struck me. 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 and working with a client like parlor is not a cry technically but it definitely means you're taken on the risk oh and by the way care not to 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.
