you're watching our to international coming to you live from the russian capital this and every hour welcome to the program. sputnik the house passed another major milestone on the road to e.u. approval russia's direct investment fund arranging its distribution has confirmed the european medicines agency has received the application for approval of the job of breakstone the approval process. sensually sputnik v. has entered the homestretch towards approval all across of the block right now it's in the final stage which is called a rolling review well here's how the russians themselves are describing the stage that the process as is at the audio if the registration in the e.u. on general 29th 2021 and start distributing information to the e m a for ruling review the fund has received official confirmation from the inmate

that its application has been received it's up to the inmate to determine the speed of the review process so this process is called a rolling review but what does it mean effectively it means that the european medicines agency the e.u. is regulating body is right now requesting document after the document from the russians to see how safe how effective the vaccine is and so on and so forth there's no way of giving an estimate as to how quickly they will make the decision because the ball has left the russian court it's entirely in the hands of the may but the russians are saying they're hoping it will happen rather sooner than later and it could spell great news for all europeans looking to get immunity against covert 19 because right now the e.u. has 3 vaccines proved to be used on their soil by pfizer by madonna and by astra zeneca but when it comes to provides a for instance there has been an extreme shortage in supply and it has led to the basically the pace of the vaccination has slowed down to

a trickle sputnik we has proven it has been proven that it has its efficacy stands at over 91 percent and in fact some countries are already looking to cooperate with the russians like germany they are looking to become one of the sputnik producers hungary sort of in defiance of brussels not only has it already ordered more than 2000000 doses of sputnik the they have already received the 1st batches and the czech republic is kind of contemplating. templating to do the same but well aces of course are going to hate for instance the prime minister of lithuania she called the sputnik russia's hybrid weapon well a weapon that most school happily uses on its soil own soil against its own citizens because here in russia mass vaccination has been in full swing and quite successfully too i should say a lot of people have already gotten the jobs have been no reports of any serious

side effects and in fact the russian government is hoping to get about 60 percent of the whole russia's population vaccinated by mid summer and world russia is happy to share its success but only 2 of the one willing that comes as another vaccine on the market faces fresh problems south africa has suspended rollout of astra zeneca job after a trial showed minimal protection against a new more contagious covert strain in the country astra zeneca novel vax trials in south africa have shown that the clinical efficacies diminish substantially the estrogenic a vaccine needs to be put in temporary hold. the british based pharma giants are now working to a doubt its vaccine to tackle the south african strain for now the country is an occupation campaign it will rely on the fires are a plus johnson and johnson jobs which will be delivered in the coming weeks ahead of a local center for health care journalism told us the long delays and the point vaccines

have allowed the new mutations to develop. so everyone in the country's 1st straight it of course because the 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 we can do anything about because that is how viruses which they evolve in order to be disinvited 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 good 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 data to see if a stress any desperate tick tick in severe disease if he doesn't then we need to change our plan and go with added the scenes. european parliament members

spearheaded by a lithuanian lawmaker are calling for the use foreign policy chief to step down the group claims to us a pearl was too soft on russia on his recent visit. misjudgment and proactively deciding to visit moscow in his failure to stand for the interests and values of the european union during his visit with ghost severe damage to the reputation of the e.u. we believe the president of the european commission should take action if mr burrell does not resign by his own accord. more on that we're now joined live by r.t. is peter all over from berlin peter what's been the fallout from this round. where more than 70 m.e.p. majority of those coming from the conservative bloc and led by many from the baltic states have called for your state boil to resign his post as high representative

for foreign affairs it comes after they stripped to moscow in which each hoped to put pressure on the kremlin to release alexei navalny that kremlin critic from his prison. this while he was in the in russia in moscow there was the expulsion of 3 diplomats one from germany one from poland and one from sweden for having attended and sanctioned demonstration in support of mist in the valley now as a fonda line the e.u. commission president has stood by her man yosef birrell saying that the high representative for foreign affairs has her full support while joseph barel was in moscow he said that the talks that he carried out alongside russian foreign minister sergei lavrov were doing so with a spirit of togetherness a spirit of friendship and a trusting atmosphere. certainly orderly sions are on

c.v.s. tree and a number on an e.k.g. pointed now a pretty. but. we are connected not only by geography. but put out wide range of tortie cool cold that will have an economic times. but when yosef birrell arrived back in russia back in brussels i beg your pardon from russia his assessment of the meeting in moscow had changed considerably he said that as far as he was concerned moscow had no intention of improving relations with the european union now looking at statements that have come from the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman various a cut of a it's clear that they will cost a little on the hope by this change of tuck from brussels. our review a secret about our western partners when they fail to carry out a flogging they throw a tantrum the aim was to carry out that public flogging which i think had been planned very thorough only an avalanche of sorts to talk about the rallies the

journalists to make the valley the main topic to lump together everything dump it out and gleefully scarper well that didn't come off well following that meeting in moscow with russian foreign to set a gay lover of the high representative for foreign affairs you know super l. calls him that he doesn't do that he's going to any time soon that the more pressure on bush and president of the line to perhaps dismiss him from his post that it is all going to be discussed in the european parliament a little later on all choose day over bring in you will be just as we get a thing out of it. that was artie's peter all over the queue for bringing us that report. in other news president joe biden's inauguration call for unity appears to have had little effect as a new poll finds most americans think the country will stay as divided or get even

worst almost 2 and 3 agree the situation will not improve in the coming years and mainstream media appear to be playing a key role in that division. take for example the case of an l.a. times journalist linking her protrudes neighbors who cleared her driveway of snow as an act of kindness to hezbollah a lebanese group does a designated as terrorist by the u.s. as r.t.f. kilmartin explains now it's not the only case of whipping up tensions. the rift between red america and blue america has been widening 'd for years nobody can say that the media is blameless if you voted for you voted for the person who claims supported you voted for the person who nazis support or millions of. you to be deprogrammed you consider those people cult members. i do i think they

were deceptively recruited by an offshore terry and political cult now we all know that the media has been stoking the flames but every so often we have to do a double take and say really did they just say that take a left wing columnist virginia heffernan who is not sure if you should say thank you when our neighbors offer a friendly gesture the trumpets next door to open them again to wait to see as devoted to the next president as you can get without being cute fance just plowed own driveway without being asked and did a great job of course on some level i realize i owed them thanks and man they truly looks like the guy back drag the driveway like a prong on how much thanks. she wrote an op ed saying that her neighbors helping her out after a snowstorm was aggressive niceness it was an attempt to manipulate her she compared it to hezbollah and the nazis hezbollah the shiite islam is

a political party lebanon also gives things away for free they offer protection and hospitality and we loyalty that way and they also demand devotion to their brutal us versus them and to sue cools. the article didn't go down so well not surprising did it ever occur to have her and that she may have been wrong that the political beliefs she holds do more harm than good or at least not as much good as she thinks that the people with whom she disagrees politically may not be bad individuals. she should consider that in the country help a new neighbor is not smelly courtesy extended to one some tribe is a survival tactic the neighbor probably doesn't expect some evidence thank you but if you need his help i think he'd expect that bridge in your halford and writes about politics for the l.a. times and about culture for wired she wrote a book called magic and loss and was praised as

a public intellectual for the 21st century and one of the finest living writers for english prose but her recent article lamenting the evil of her trouble supporting neighbors offering a helping hand is getting her widely shamed online the article is said to be a sign of the times and a sign of how divided americans really are i would love to see neighbors who small lone tractors all get together and put the stone back in should draw a way that would just feel right my trump called neighbors blasted my biden harrison with a shotgun a couple of days after i put it up on my yacht i don't care if they plow my driveway i'll never unite with somebody who uses a shotgun to discuss politics i know a professor who would shovel up his elderly neighbor's driveway she put up his trump sign in 2016 he stuffs blowing juice story years ago american school children were taught the golden rule do unto others as you would have them do unto you however it seems that rule has now been replaced with

a new one calculate carefully the political implications of everything and hold those of different viewpoints in constant suspicion they will mop and r.t. new york. human rights watch has issued a scathing report on what it describes as the lebanese government's failure to quote deliver justice on last year's apocalyptic blast that level parts the capital on august the 4th tons of chemical stored anywhere house detonated wiping numerous buildings. off the map and damaging many more be on the air 200 people lost their lives and more than 6000 were injured following the blast the lebanese government stepped down while the president promised political war form authorities launched an investigation which brought charges only against a few dozen mid to low level court and security staff r.t.s. filmed a special report about residents trying to rebuild shattered lives you can watch it in full on r t international on wednesday but for now here's a short clip

a warning you may find some of the following footage upsetting. knowing it's true it would seem that in the beginning was the book but i'll blog. i know you don't buy that and it can matter a canard was nice and a bad national moment that you cannot deny. this to us but to someone else on the on. the has you malayo an item about the for how you. and the national association. for the should know how to set the community. but i bet all small and the so what is. there. enough of. this out on the view of the moon unit may give it

a feel good. shot and know if and when i might. be in my name a few of them. still had the u.k. documents suggest queen elizabeth misused her powers to hide her vast fortune details on that story and more after this. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going from duration let it be an arms race is on off and spearing dramatic development only loosely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

anyone else truths seem wrong. why don't we just don't all. let me. get to shape out these days become active. and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. and. welcome back to the program a top authors question social media giant censorship of her book that criticizes feminism professor carrie greste says her work simply challenges modern assumptions

of what it means to be a woman a bestseller confronts the ideological of what it calls radical toxic feminism which she claims is now imposed by society but actually makes women unhappy rest told r.t. that current ideology destroys the links that have held families together for some trees. the book is called the anti mary exposed and it really came about when i started looking at elite women in the culture and i notice that the values that they had were diametrically opposed from the the values that we see in the embodiment of the blasted virgin mary and many different ways that she has helped to build our culture and transform cultures throughout the centuries and the idealist and just expose and and show how much how far we have gone away from these values you know things like that the tenderness that between a mother and baby and you know the fact that we have abortion that's so it's almost seem like a rite of passage in our culture and is faring much and not seen to be something

that is destroying the family industry in the culture and destroying our souls really wanted to showcase on that idea and just show that they really are some major problems here that we need to address because women are happy this is you know fundamentally if you look at the numbers if you look at at suicide rates depression levels and substance abuse s.t.d. and divorce all of these things point to some incredibly unhappy women and this is just something i think we've gotten used to but the numbers certainly tell a story that feminism is not doing what it is that we're told it's supposed to be doing which is make us happy. the books than ban on instagram and facebook which said it doesn't comply with commerce policies and violates rules against selling adult products aggressed says big tech have even blocked posts promoting the title while amazon blamed glitches for removal of links to by her work. and light of the content you know compared to

a lot of the content in facebook and instagram sound was really surprising characterization of the book because it's certainly not i mean it's adulterated but it's not i think within the category of what they would call the doc content such as pornography and other illicit materials and there was some glitches on amazon with my book but i think a pattern is. is emerging as well there's other books from my publisher that have banned but been banned both for sale one of them was stations across for children. of amazon he said it was to buy a land and then other books that have been banner ads have been banned on facebook i think that by silencing means silencing those books they're trying to help they're trying to prevent people from actually seeing what's what's going on in the culture in the way that they're trying to promote these these idiology across the board in the culture in the country you know i've been really encouraged by the support that i've had for my book people went out and bought and drove and that was just amazing to see but i think people are really ready for it to be free of this

and i think you know the people that have resources whether it's ideas or money or infrastructure we really need to start finding new ways to to build things that can compete with big tech because that we just keep pouring ourselves into it and not offering enough competition to really balance and out and keep them keep them honest. britain's queen elizabeth is being accused of lobbying the government to hide her vast private wealth and a scheme that ran for decades the revelations come from national archive documents uncovered by the guardian and date back to the 1970 s. the queen allegedly persuaded the government to make legal changes exempting firms used by heads of states from transparency procedures and these paper says she was then able to use a shell company to conceal her finances until at least 2011 the queen's exact fortune is still unknown but is believed to run into hundreds of millions of pounds

. according to the files buckingham palace his legal team used a secure procedure called queen's consent to get the changes through parliament that allows the monarch to see bills in advance and withhold approval if the content affects the crown interests buckingham palace rebuffed the allegations claiming the use of queen's consent was standard practice. consent is always granted by the monarch requested by government and use ocean that the sovereign has blocked legislation is simply incorrect whether queen's consent is required is decided by parliament independently in matters that would affect crown interests we spoke with former british home office minister norman baker who thinks the same christie surrounding 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 i'll just say she was created to benefit herself the facts the matter is you have to ask

where the monies come from that the queen now has whether over a 1000000000 pounds it is not come from my what in military it's come from tax breaks all from beneficial changes legislation the so-called private property which a queen has for example the sandringham was actually bought by queen victoria because she read over the page the amount of money she did she wanted to take 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 and insulting to democracy in my view but it's also one which is a danger to the royal family for their own family who would be well advised to amend these sort of situations before the full should do so by parliament. that's a wrap up of the day's top news for now but don't forget you can always find us on many of your favorite social media platforms like twitter and facebook for up to

get sucked away at speeds of up to 8 feet per 2nd far too fast for many swimmers to make it safely back to shore and what to do the swimmers who don't make it back to shore do they always try that they panic and then they they see themselves being pushed away from the shore and they panic and try harder and harder to get to shore which is the exact thing you should not do you should just relax go with the flow and let it take you and then swim away slowly exactly right panic into the problem panic into the problem so this is this is the end leading into this central bank panic i believe yes so since 2008 we've seen central banks panic and everything they do seems to just fight the tide fight the flow like back in 2008 they thought the.
