live news and global reaction this is r.t. international from moscow one and on a bright welcome to your world news 1st for you this new mutations of covert 19 are likely to require a complete revaccinated of the british population later this year that's the warning coming from prime minister boris johnson. i think we're going to have to get used to the idea that revaccinated in the autumn as we as we come to place these new variants almost 4000000 covert cases have been confirmed in the u.k. since the start of the pandemic nearly 115000 people have died that's the worst toll in europe the country is now accelerating its track and trace scheme with volunteers going door to door to check whether people have the disease studies show the u.k.'s astra zeneca job only offers a limited protection against the new coronavirus variants but some researches want to continue use of the shot arguing that it does help protect against the worst effects of the mutations. and it comes after the head of the parliamentary health
2:02 pm
committee said the covert response had been mishandled jeremy hunt added that above all the government should have reacted quicker. as a country we have not got everything right in our pandemic handling we need to learn lessons and the biggest lesson of all is that in a pandemic you have to act faster than the virus just by the inoculation push one covert vaccine center in london shudder early because of a low uptake and the u.k.'s nursing chief has said that ethnic minority communities in particular have been forming for anti vaccine myths artie's k. partridge has the details. the u.k. has the highest coronavirus death toll in europe and research says ethnic minorities are up to 3 times more likely to die but this vaccination harbin the multicultural area of happening in east london had to reduce its opening hours because minorities are more reluctant to get the job due to mistrust of the government i was kind of one assured them out of this is they put it out on the
2:03 pm
so-called media. for go away a bit of us plenty of statistics reflects the mistrust a report on behalf of n.h.s. england claims that almost twice as many white overate is have had their 1st injection compared to elderly black britons while an overwhelming majority of black people said they were are likely to get a vaccine if offered want a race equality think tank says the lower numbers aren't about vaccine refusal that fear is often based on past experiences whether incidence of simple misunderstanding cultural confusion or in the case of some patients now trade fear of perceived hostility and racism but concern is also fueled by just information circulating online yet people are now keen to avid various reasons what they've seen in social media you know they believe that this vaccine was made too quickly. too quickly not enough try for them to really test the vaccine some believe
2:04 pm
officials have been too slow to shut down myths i can send you at least 10 videos of my whatsapp that have been circulated from since about last march with doctors other professionals you don't know where they've come from but all you can say about them is they're clearly and vaccines and they claim to be protecting the minority community from something that will harm them and the u.k.'s medical chiefs say they're committed to combat in misinformation and admits not community could do you rail all the efforts in the fight against the pandemic if one particular community right. vaccinated and the virus will seek them out and it will go through their community like wildfire it's not something any of us wish to see which is why we're spending a lot of time and a lot of resources in this area the big message i have for everyone is this virus just doesn't care what ethnic background you're from it just doesn't care about the color of your skin or where you live in the world the virus does not discriminate
2:05 pm
the u.k. has made significant progress with its vaccine rollout which has been faster than most other countries but to see the program completed a key obstacle needs to be overcome convincing the most vulnerable communities to take the job of b.c. you see a continuing nation of the existence of the virus that people are already disproportionately affected by gets by this virus so it's 5 clean cotton and it's in the communities only interest to make sure that you get vaccinated is to stay safe to get them to not playing i think simply telling it this is even your own best healthy jaycee's not a not because it was doesn't take account of dish huge history of blood across the league communities in the state and that's why they only to work with trust the leaders on the ground sure she's holding nice asians moving little scene community underground who are got credible alternative. communities.

who will follow. germany's extending its lockdown to march amid concerns over the new strains of covert 19 it comes after chancellor merkel admitted that the government there was too slow in its response to the 2nd wave of the pandemic. just for the beginning when we were not careful enough and not fast enough we didn't shut down public life early and consistently enough and that science have a 2nd wave and warnings from various scientists it has been a year of learning together how the virus works and what works against it and then ing means not always doing everything right from the start but correcting our assessment. germany shutdown was due to expire on february 14th but it's now going to run for an extra 3 weeks exceptions though schools and daycare centers can gradually reopen depending on decisions made by local authorities restaurants are going to have to stay shut but hair salons can open their doors for march the 1st
2:07 pm
opposition groups have branded the measures inconsistent and urged the government to present a plan for leaving the lockdown. meanwhile the leading german newspapers dropped a bombshell claiming the government hired scientists to come up with research that would justify harsh coronavirus measures which had already been decided by ministers it cited hundreds of pages of correspondence between the interior ministry and a research group dating back to last march journalist and political commentator thomas fassbender thinks the story highlights the lack of clarity in the way the policies are being decided. these reports concerning the last year's decision and obviously to this date the government prefers to be hiding behind scientists and there is very little willingness and courage on the side of the government as the general perception when it comes to decision making after each year now we have not yet had crisis comedy we are not up to dealing with the crisis and this is
2:08 pm
the responsibility of our top politicians we certainly did not do our job on the 2nd wave as the chancellor rightly admitted the vaccination does not go and have the necessary speed at the same time we are prolonging the lock down which in many respects does not make sense for many people but because why is a hadrosaur open in a small shop is not. a team of world health organization scientists has just concluded a trip to the chinese city of to probe the origins of covert nighty is where the 1st cases of the virus were detected back in december 29th after spending 4 weeks in the w.h.o. investigators released their initial findings they concluded that the corona virus most likely originated in animals before spreading to humans and they did bung to claim that the disease came from a bio weapons lab during their time and what the investigators visited hospitals
2:09 pm
the burra trees and also market. and let's talk now to overall a just from that w.h.o. delegation but don't often go back to moscow from really appreciate you sharing your time with us mr decker could you tell us about your trip to and then and also the key findings of the investigation so far. should. so. it wasn't about a st petersburg or. who secondly. looking about the huge success of our mission. i believe that we've done what we set out to do there but this was just the 1st stage of our probe. but the 1st
2:10 pm
stage mains that we weren't going to find out confidently the source of the virus our mission was to assess the data that was already available at the moment to systematize the data and based on this data base on the information on our knowledge and experience. you develop a concept of how to further. go on with. what other theory is that we're going to assess in further research the mission concluded that it's unlikely that the virus job directly from a bat to patient 0 how was that conclusion reached.
2:11 pm
to do good shoe well speaking about in transmission from the animal into the human ear. i think that this idea is based not so much all the data that we've received during our visit but more on our general understanding of the conferences how these processes work out because. the thing is. we know. to say judging from the experience of previous bond. makes such as the previous. mickens immersed undemocratic at the source of the fundamentalists the bat. furthermore we know that in that. there are. viruses not a genetic link close to the viruses that cause an epidemic these are
2:12 pm
related to viruses that can be found in that so that's what we know. but this is not in any way related to the data that we received during this mission this is just general knowledge that's one thing and the other thing is we know that every time. transmission to schumann's came not directly from a bat to human but through other intermediaries other animals us. in the case of maurice those were for example camels and there were maybe other animals this is just general concerns general understanding it doesn't mean that this was the exact scenario that took place with the covert 19 this is the most probable hypothesis based on what we know some politicians particularly
2:13 pm
in the united states have been pushing the theory that kobe 19 came from a laboratory your team rejected that idea why. well you have to differentiate. there are 2 types of theories one of them is that the virus was created artificially now if we talk about that. now these ideas were already proven to be falls through scientific research and the findings were published in the reputed magazine scientific magazines though we don't even consider this hypothesis now the 2nd type author says is that this was a natural virus that was leaked from
2:14 pm
a lab at this is one of the had problems is that we are actually assessing and cheering our probe revisited the institute of viral a-g. we so how all the work is organized their work with them by wrists and we concluded that. the lab itself. is actually working according to the existing safety standards ready and they couldn't be. from the lab now secondly they slab is situated rather remotely the distance between the lab and the markets is. considerable and so. if there was if there had been a link there would be cases in regions surrounding the lab. but there were no
2:15 pm
such cases. what. we have seen is the outbreak the big outbreak of the market but the market is situated very far away on the land again the standards of the lab the safety standards are very high and the specialists the experts that work here work there are really professional well prepared syrians and they have. very good system controlling the transportation and transfer of materials in so a leak is virtually impossible. we. looked at this hypotheses in terms of probabilities and so this is why both the series is one that we call highly unlikely so it's mostly possible that this happened scientifically speaking this means that this. we were going
2:16 pm
to magine if. it could have happened. this is just as probable as say. the virus came to us. from space on an asteroid or something so it's almost on the stereo unlikely possible almost even though it will have every day where step closer to finding the origins for now i really appreciate you spending the time to talk to us on r.t. the david at all from the team investigating the origins of having 1001 thanks for your time. next the b.b.c.'s global t.v. news channels be blocked in china and it comes a week of the british regulators took china's english language channel thinking to an off the air as easily reports. that announcement by chinese all thought it sees that b.b.c. wallet need not be allowed to continue their service within chinese territory
2:17 pm
coming in the wake of our reporting on how china has held a corona virus pandemic in the country saying that they dispute how the b.b.c. of covered the issue and that they simply do not tolerate fake news and it follows in the wake of the u.k.'s for causing regulator taking away the license to c.t.'s and the chinese broadcaster and saying that they've taken up my sins away because the channel when the editorial line dictated by the chinese government we are unable to approve the application to transfer the license to the china global television network corporation because it's ultimately controlled by the chinese communist party which is not permitted under u.k. broadcasting law we provide to see g t n with numerous opportunities to come into compliance but it has not done so we now consider it appropriate to withdraw the license for c g t n to broadcast in the u.k.
2:18 pm
now the chinese decision to be received well may not have many messages consequences that is the channel that isn't great to be watched around china over in chinese hosts it's a channel that may need broadcast or watched by visitors in hotels but it just goes to show that even in the wake of donald trump leaving the white house in the hopes that many have the west in general and china may begin to rebuild their relationship with this type of tit for tat action when it comes to the opposing sides media outlets certainly doesn't build confidence for the future. without tea from moscow still to come celebrity psychologist jordan painter seems locked in a bitter feud with a leading british newspaper it's one of our stories still to come after this.
2:19 pm
2:20 pm
i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk. hello again the japanese government said the millions of covert vaccine doses are likely to go to waste because of a lack of specialized syringes the health minister explained the problem which relates to the fines a bio. the syringe is used in japan can only draw 5 doses we will use all the syringe is we have that can draw 6 doses but it will of course not be enough as more shots are administered the government is requesting medical equipment manufacturers step up production of the special syringe is depends bought enough of the pfizer shots to inoculate $72000000.00 citizens without a share with the medics can administer the entire contents of each vile which
2:21 pm
requires so-called dead space ranges without both the country could only vaccinate 60000000 people jacqueline bogus spoke with lawrence young who is a professor of molecular on quality who thinks the syringe problem should have been anticipated in a way this isn't a surprise but is a terrible thing if it's going to end up in wasting doses of that precious vaccine those calls some problem here in japan and it's also causing problems in europe we know they're going to be shoes about the supply of syringes and need of the. other aspects of the scenes that we're going to need to to roll out the vaccine across the world as are coming out earlier the same problem is being reported in many countries not just ended in japan do you think the manufacturer should have anticipated this problem or is this something that just came about i think we should have it out has made it in a way it's not unlike the problem we all had at the beginning of the pandemic weed p p e with personal protective equipment there were not enough. gloves suitable
2:22 pm
suitable plastics for cover for covering covering yourself and i think this isn't an issue that came up because we just weren't expecting that the pandemic and p.p. now in terms of manufacturer around the world has increased enormously in an enormously i guess we should have predicted. canadian psychology guru jordan peterson has canceled a string of media appearances after accusing a leading british newspaper of distorting his words in an interview in a blog post the bestselling author said the sunday times had shown a cruelty and spite in its writer breaks down the story. put yourself in jordan peterson's shoes you also did an interview in none other than the times and you've got a book coming out soon so your publishers suggest that you do it your commissioning editor sells it to you as an article that celebrates your life and even office to
2:23 pm
clear up any factual inaccuracy that may have been doing the rounds while you've struggled through a harrowing near death health crisis wait i can even read you a bit of the letter from the times offering pietersen the interview i like to think retail difficult stories with generous space time and objectivity we run long form features telling the whole story rather than short flashy headlines so you pour out your heart and soul to a nice lady on the result you get a hit piece that topped with a new and flashy headline and did lifted with factual inaccuracy as this story was written by this woman. in the head she's the chief interview at the sunday times and judging by this article she's not a fan of jordan peterson or his daughter mchale or the peterson's have been so good
2:24 pm
by the article that they've posted the audio of the entire interview online as well as a transcript of the interview and mckay petersen's done a reaction video to the article as well there are certainly differences between the recording and the resulting article take for example the sensationalist claim in the paragraph where 8 writes it is daughter's words it is like a horror movie a movie in which her father gets hooked on benzodiazepines becomes suicidal is hospitalized for his own safety and then diagnosed with schizophrenia dad do. not just to be clear and has never had schizophrenia he had. which is a very deadly and severe side effect of some psych medications and originally started with benzodiazepines used to treat insomnia and depression associated with an autoimmune disorder his mckayla in the preinterview telling
2:25 pm
a kid ahead about the the zia. suffering from it's a crawling sensation that makes you not want to stop moving and so it's commonly misdiagnoses schizophrenia because they don't know what it is and in order to treat schizophrenia you get put on psych meds and that causes worsening aka fuchsia i'm by the way the interview makes absolutely no attempt to expand on this topic of. which jordan advocate of peace and trying to raise awareness about so he was misdiagnosed multiple times mis diagnosed when we finally found a competent doctor he was diagnosed with that which is what i tried to make clear in the interview because lots of people with a future are misdiagnosed and it kills them there are some videos of what looks like online and i have to warn you you may find what you're about to see distressing.
2:26 pm
the woman in this video committed suicide from the relentlessness of the symptoms play has this thing about inaccuracy in reporting when 8 compared to peterson's misdiagnosis of schizophrenia as a bonafide diagnosis in the times article it doesn't just cement that era into one newspaper article because of the way we journalists. stories that one launched a slew of other news stories after the daily mail published jordan peterson claims he was suicidal and. after that. new york post publishes jordan peterson says he was suicidal addicted to benzo is and has
2:27 pm
schizophrenia. jordan peaks and displayed some real vulnerability and that candid interview the recording feels. as if you have encouraged. me that you feel like you're being. used to situation and that's certainly how it appears a grotesque for sure. and you feel incredibly conscious embarrassed. after a while i just like being self-conscious being so the problem of being self-conscious so we don't know the if you're in enough pain you know longer and yet the overall tone. was generous to say the least there's an obsession with likening the peterson family to the trunks and similar tamia sleek how about us comments about mchale as a pair and. i've been recognisable from the ordinary looking brunette from photos
2:28 pm
just a few years ago today is a glossy pouting blonde and talks with a zealous spiky conviction of a president trump press spokeswoman his response to that by the way i can't believe how. there are lip injections woman you can get them to. the offical continues to trump trophy with analogy then she compares him to donald trump because why not parallels with donald trump come to mind another unhappy man closed off from his. projecting strong man mythology while hunkered down in a bunker with his family you can see the world jordan peterson closed off from his emotions a man loves nothing better and a good cry harry is crying in a previous interview it is only the individual after all he suffers so overwhelming
2:29 pm
. there's been no. depression in her through school. question the trucks close to the bone you know don't give me courage moment and people need so little encouragement who's. i mean harry is crying during the times interview just 10 minutes into it and fact sort. of. just. we've even had him crying on tape well if you heard it to. bring you to tears the sad truth is that the times that a cynical and biased article will have no effect whatsoever on what is probably one of the world's biggest newspapers it can go on printing lies with absolutely no consequences and they've all still get to interview the biggest stars because that's just how the universe works but the triple problem to clamp back from the
