you know. all. those 5 movies i was reasonable. bloodlines this wednesday morning europeans turn away from top western vaccines over ethical concerns for the world health organization warns e.u. states against hoarding supplies pointing to the drastic shortages in developing nations. russia the u.s. for undermining free trade unfair competition after washington is boasting about european companies pulling out of the nord stream to gas pipeline project in the face of american sanctions. of a 1000000 american victims and counting no mass vaccination in sight where a mask for even better to do and keep them on for months despite no real pandemic policy switches president trump nonetheless u.s.

media seems still to love joe biden's little changed approach. 801 here good morning from moscow this 24th of february watching r t international with me kevin i mean so those headlines in more detail and 1st the head of the world health organization has warned rich countries against restricting vaccine supplies to poorer nations many in the you are refusing western shots over reports of poor ethical sea leaving significant numbers of our news jabs is our europe correspondent. germany is facing a touch of cognitive dissonance when it comes to covert 19 vaccinations on the one hand politicians on the population are outraged at how slow the process of giving a vaccine to everyone in germany has been on the other hand vaccination centers

like this one here in berlin at the old airport which only gives out the astra zeneca job well they've been struggling to get people to take up the offer that some sorts a line unused because not enough people enrolling or just not turning up for their appointment this is an absurd and unbearable situation as of last friday only 10 percent of the vaccines available had been administered the astra zeneca job is only approved for use in under 60 five's in germany due to a lack of data on its effectiveness and older people it's being made available to health care staff but tales of reactions to the vaccine have seen some german states suspend its use. astra zeneca has been criticized because on the one hand it seems to be less effective than the messenger r.n.a. vaccines from beyond tech and moderna and on the other hand there have been reports of vaccine reactions both must continue to be well monitored at this point in time

however we want to vaccinate as many people as possible as quickly as possible therefore i think it is justifiable to put people who refuse to regularly license the vaccine like astra zeneca at the back of the vaccination order is something mark for share out there how can we do it to vaccine and then find out a couple weeks months later that it's maybe not as efficient as it was as it was promised i think this shows that the way the european union has been managing this whole vaccine campaign it was not only by the professionals that were supposed to be making decisions in the 1st place i think this is something which is more all and now it's backfiring of course we see a very small. of western europeans getting the vaccine and now we've got a very big doubts on some of this vaccine manufacturers do formally that's a cynical angle of merkel spokes person even had to put out a post on social media encouraging people to take the astra zeneca vaccine because there's a worry that the doses germany has could end up going to waste. astra zeneca succeed

and that it prevents many infections and protects against serious illnesses vaccination can see. france has found itself in a similar position to germany when it comes to its citizens being unsure about the astra zeneca jab a general lack of vaccines across the european union added to growing fears about their safety i mean the 2 biggest eurozone economies germany and france are vaccinated just 6 percent of their populations but the head of the world health organization wants rich countries to check before ordering more shots and made diet shortages in developing nations if there are no vaccines to buy moneys irrelevant currently some high income countries are into contracts with vaccine manufacturers that are undermine the deals that call vioxx hours in police and

reduce the number of those this box come by. we've already millions and millions of jobs and we don't even know if these vaccines are safe and now that we've got these vaccines people don't want them so what do we do with that and there's no better be of course if some kind of trees feel safe with these vaccines and they want them to . should should have them or sell them or i don't know or get it to say that to the poor countries we can't have vaccines staying in. some or some cold spots there's refrigerated areas around there you're well again before giving that out we have to go through proper medical process and say are they safe or no and if there are suspects inside of there which are not safe this should not only not be given to the european union but they should be given to the 3rd will be there i mean we're not going to get i was you know i don't see vaccines because they're not up to our standards this would be this is christmas without all while e.u. nations the did the ring over whether or not to get one of the main vaccines that are on offer poorer nations are running the risk of having no doses of any vaccine

at all peter all of a r.t. . moscow's question the u.s. commitment to free trade after washington bragged about more than a dozen companies quitting russia's nord stream to gas pipeline project following american threats is our correspondent dan off. from the very outset the u.s. has been hell burned on do you really ignored stream to me so this time the u.s. state department has compiled and submitted a report to us congress kind of detailing the measures they have taken so far in this direction and how effective these measures have been this report by the way also comes at a very sensitive timing because the biden administration has been accused of well in the action of not being keen enough on preventing nordstrom too from coming to fruition this report is not yet available to the public but net price the spokesman for the u.s. state department has revealed of that some 18 companies european companies have

decided to pull out of the nord stream to amid u.s. pressure and when i say pressure i mean sanctions so far the united states has been sanctioning the russians while the e.u. firms have remained sort of in the clear but that's only so far this constant threat of sanctions coming from washington while it has always been and is still hanging over european firms so well 18 of them have decided that better safe than sorry and while they decided to cut ties with the project now when it comes to russia moscow has always been saying that the north that north stream too has nothing to do with with the united states that it is strictly a matter of relations between russia and europe and germany in particular because that's where the pipeline is going and all these efforts that the u.s. has been taking russia views it as world geo political warfare here is the latest

reaction that we have on this the u.s. state department has acknowledged that america is undermining the principles of free trade and competition subjugating market laws to its own geopolitical interests and acting inspired of the wheel of silver nations but there's an added layer of irony to this story because remember how they said that 18 companies have . sided to cut ties with nordstrom to the right and the way this information was delivered to the media by price the spokesman for the state department one might you might be misled into thinking that all of that was achieved under the biden administration which turns out is not the case and it only came to light when price was confronted by a piece matley over the issue of how to listen. strategy including the legislative strategy of the strategy of course congress is has been behind has been working to good effect the credit for the winding down all this work was done of the previous

administration and out of all the been. all the months. are you telling me that i am well we these 18 but he is all of a sudden of all where you are the only thing i am speaking for of all. the man. i am not so i also being for the department of state the people who have been working miss the people who are working this now or the same people a month ago or the same people. 3 months ago or so so essentially what happened there could easily be interpreted as the state department kind of trying and taking credit for what was achieved when donald trump was still president here price effectively confirming just that and again quite ironically because this is something that happened with the trumpet ministration at the very start of his presidency when basically the democrat leaning media they were just trying to pin

all the successes of his administration on the legacy of obama and his cabinet and so on and so forth but basically now this is all is now around the nordstrom to project which is by the way 97 percent complete out of the total of 1200 kilometers of the. playing only a few dozen left to be well laid on the seabed so there is that and basically this whole thing germany for instance is very keen on finishing this project it has repeatedly said that the very much interested in world flicking the on switch on the on the north stream to pipeline so effectively it pitches the u.s. against its allies in europe germany and we'll see who will come out of this victorious. well still ahead this hour u.s. democrats doubled in on efforts to gag conservative media were covering that they were all digital t.v.

providers to reconsider their contracts with right wing networks that story well as well as this. safe house of fine and polished to when. he gets the rare opportunity to take to the skies at a top military training center take off probably just a few minutes from now. not before this though joe biden has ordered all flags on federal property to be lowered to half mars for the next 5 days to mark 500000 u.s. deaths from coronavirus reports next media glowing in their praise for the president's covert approach despite little apparent difference from the previous administration. america's death toll from covert 19 is now more than half a 1000000 that's more than world war 2 and vietnam combined biden marked the occasion with

a solemn ceremony at the white house on monday 571. that's more americans who died in one use pandemic. than a war a war one. to the vietnam war combined on the campaign trail biden castigated donald trump for his mishandling of the pandemic he promised that when he got into office he would turn things around he seems to have tempered expectations it did as back in january he said he was powerless to change the trajectory of covert 19 and his anti co the defense has one key aspect where maleness everyone be mandated to wear a mask mask mandates mask mask the planet earth mask for god's sake. word mask if not for yourself for your loved ones well masks are proven to stop the spread of coded but is that it he's got the same advisor the trump pad dr felt she

now says will probably be wearing masks until 2022 do you think americans will still be wearing masks for example in 2022. you know i think it is possible that that's the case many hope that under biden mass vaccinations might save the day but so far it does not look that way the next few months masks. are the best defense against kuvin 90 biden even visited a farm a facility to show he's got a handle on things however he says that vaccines won't we have a level to everyone until mid-summer we're now on track to have enough vaccine supply for all of our work by the end of july seems like the amount of time that donald trump that it took the child to ministration to develop this vaccine which is record time now the by the ministration say says that will take just as much time in order to have enough doses biden has had since november to start planning

his approach to quit what did he do what did he spend november december january doing well he had a stack of executive orders waiting on his desk to sign it seems bizarre because we know that there are millions upon millions of doses already out there perhaps he's just lowering expectations now you might think that mainstream media would now lash out on biden just like they did on his predecessor remember when all the deaths were being blamed on donald trump but think again president elect joe biden and vice president harris told. good grief and regret out of the privacy of our hearts if just for a moment so that we all could share those lights like almost extensions of joe biden's arms embracing america he doesn't keep a lot of things secret when it comes to his emotions and his and his family and his love for his family seems that joe biden is being judged by a different set of standards deaths are rising but he is not catching any flak oh

well i guess we should all just get used to wearing masks for another year the major media isn't demanding the rollout be sooner because there are guys in office the business a media that said a vaccine would be impossible to get out in 2020 and jump made that happen and instead of the media focusing on what's happening with the bye to mr ration and their vaccinations instead we're seeing stories about joe biden's dog and we're seeing stories about him playing video games with his grandchildren if donald trump was playing video games with his grandchildren at camp david it would be a national scandal 'd and they would say he has graham was blood on his hands of course joe biden's read that he can play video games with his grandchildren at camp david and say that it's going to be til the end of july and we have another vaccinations you're the president united states make it happen that's what plenty of americans are asking but of course the media is now asking that because it's their guy and they're going to protect him and they're going to do their brand of

meat bad journalism and it's all going to be fluff and softball and human interest stories for the next you know 3 and a half years. of news this morning u.s. democratic congress members of up the pressure on top digital and cable networks by asking them to justify the hosting of conservative t.v. channels like folks news and will make his letter to the head of one provider accuses him of spreading misinformation and promoting last month's capitol hill riots by working with those right wing stations. some purported news outlets have long been in this information rumor mill some conspiracy theory hard butts that produce content that leads to real harm yet to our knowledge the cable satellite and over the top companies that disseminate these media outlets to american viewers have done nothing in response to the misinformation by these outlets while republican representatives are up in arms over it saying this move now as

politically motivated the sold on freedom of expression that democrats are sending a message that is as clear as it is troubling these regulated entities will pay a price if the targeted newsrooms do not conform to democrats preferred political narratives this is a chilling transgression of the free speech rights that every media outlet in this country enjoys legal or media analyst lionel didn't mince his words branding the democrats move the disturbing threat to constitutional values since when is this a cunt shirred it who like. what if they say something that's wrong don't live with it and there's always something wrong course is it wrong who says it's misinformation the next time you are a spouse or a partner or a lover or relative if they say listen i want to talk to you as he knelt i don't want to talk to you why because you spout misinformation when you listen to the ad

so why in the name of god do we put up with this nonsense we are looking at it complete and total disintegration of the 1st amendment and freedom of speech because now we're saying oh no no no we want you to speak we just don't want to hear misinformation disinformation bad information conspiracy theories unfounded. couper decides that since when is that a disqualifier on the dissemination of information my gosh i'm telling you right now you're not going to believe this but help bet you somewhere some place somebody might think that what you and i are saying is dissent from a should surely be to shut us down if you don't like it god someplace else or clarify it this is the most frightening i have ever seen after. the media stories of internet giants become just too powerful these days it's

a worry more and more artie's new documentary speaks to experts about just how worried we should be the ability of to juggle companies to blog even a raise in some cases or online identities if you want to hear more about that we've got to the full version of it coming up at the end of this very bulletin. 'd we're more politicized than ever before more polarized than ever the 21st century when speed is measured in megabytes per 2nd. easy electronic mail electronic money electronic media infinite possibilities for exchanging information. freedom of speech and social media censorship and double standards who should judge what can be said online.

the internet audience know totals almost 4500000000 people most all of them are at the active social network users but one wrong move from their pages deleted digital annihilation you don't exist and. not who runs the show on the web how can anyone stand up to the tech giants if even heads of state face the threat of being banned is there any limits to all that virtual. movies for evolution a long way. in about 10 minutes time going to see more human rights group amnesty international's changed its mind over describing alexina valley as a prisoner of conscience with a jailed russian opposition figure making disparaging remarks about shooting i think when you're a tease and comparing them to vermin donal court has got the story. well it was through a leaked email on twitter that we 1st heard of amnesty international's decision to

revoke russian opposition activist aleksei and of all the status as a prisoner of conscience and r.t. has asked for confirmation from amnesty international with regards to this move but before we go any further let's take a look at what exactly that e-mail said amnesty international is no longer able to consider the lexan of only a prisoner of conscience given the fact that he advocated violence and discrimination and he has not retracted such statements of all he was arrested last month the immediately upon his return to moscow from germany where he was receiving medical treatment to russia says that he violated a probationary sentence that was given to him back in 2014 and now he's facing 2 and a half years in a penal colony because of it now it's interesting that amnesty international decided to label the opposition activist a prisoner of conscience in the 1st place back in january because he doesn't exactly have a clean track record when it comes to conscientious acts i mean just last week

a moscow court gave the man a nearly $12000.00 fine for insulting the 94 year old veteran of the 2nd world war he called him a traitor to the country we also know that he's never never made a secret about his feelings about the caucuses for example he said that russia needs to stop quote stop feeding the caucuses and there was another video that he came out with years ago in which he compared people from the caucasus to cockroaches in the video what if the cockroach is too big and the fly is too aggressive. well in this case i recommend a gun. and that video actually is still up on alex in of all these official you tube channels so for those who know that information they can make their own judgment as to whether or not amnesty international's decision was correct or not. israel shut its beaches of the oil spill that's been described as one of the most

disastrous in the country's history experts are still assessing the damage but it's expected to take decades to clean. this. is the 1st i've just read the visual. dealing with the petition to get money for. its funding. give yourself did 90 percent of the beaches in israel polluted the good in the ups sand and know that really.

they came to us covered in tar in their necks inside and out were full of tar obviously we had to clear their breeding channels as fast as possible and after that we clean the tar from their digestive system we could tell you to feed them substances like mayonnaise which cleans the system and breaks down the tar i hope that in a week or 2 these guys will start eating on their own to that we can see that they are healthy and gaining weight and we are able to release them into the sea. came here to the beach today to clean all the tar that was spilled into the ocean and now it's on the beaches we did it work we came here to clean it up for the wildlife so that wildlife can continue living normally my heart wanted to be at the beach i came as soon as i was able to i want to help the environment damaged by the spill the oil the target and the still coming to our beaches.

seems to be pretty severe we still don't know for sure that we did a long time. because under the water people example seems to be severe but we do you feel sure still investigating. she flew in for some reason. maybe not. know exactly what was the source. as far as i remember. is the marine is still in. such a mess and those guys took a good job though i were far less cheer things up

a bit take it to the skies why not the pats k.v.a. shouldn't center in western russia as well they go in extra trains top military pilots and is given r.t. any chance to test its high tech get your leadership of relevant front of the queue belted up and to control. if you believe peds k.v.a. sion center is a school of excellence is to teach pilots in the air force the most difficult types of flight training young lieutenants the tools he had to fly the new and modernized aircraft that are now entering service in russia everything related to modern military aviation is important here therefore while undergoing training pilots are able to perform a full range of combat missions assigned to them they take theoretical courses and conduct training flights are reliable multi-role time tested the suit says he s. and is a to see jet that is controlled by a pilot and

a navigator but here at the little training center often seen a pilot's flight with youngsters chairing that knowledge with the british. police the brakes. increase thrust. afterburner. we're gaining speed. 10150. 20250. landing gear up we gaining speed. now you can pilots the plane. and here they are all the delights of flying in winter poor visibility a blizzard they need to d.r.s. the runway and the aircraft for icing such hostile weather requires serious efforts to complete combat missions and only the strongest can cope it's minus 20 outside the windy very harsh conditions but for people who work here this is just there's

a period. no matter whether it's host or freezing cold technicians and mechanics begin preparing the plane for hours prior to its departure and at the end of the flying's they walk around that machines again for another tool for. the hours until the play's a rolled off to the parking lot the handsome secession 5 s isn't as superior suffice but it can easily destroy ground on naval targets yvonne's are attached to some of its 12 weapon hard points in order to begin its intercept a mission using air to air missiles it must 1st get rid of those bombs to become much lysa and more maneuverable. earlier we said that young pilots couldn't fly such aircraft they are technically complicated jets today we say that perhaps our youth are already more prepared for this equipment that for new complexes are available this year believe it's a patient centered celebration several anniversaries it will also take part in the

victory day parade and the marks aviation show that means that soon will have the pleasure of watching spectacular flight performances that judging by millions of views on social networks bring joy to a huge number of fans all over the world. aussie. yeah as they say russian piously off we go with more just about half an hour from now kevin 0 inside an hour for me the team does get check it out see they'll come right over socials as well for any news throughout the day and have a good wednesday. seems wrong. just don't call. me. yet to stamp
