oh you mean there's a downside to artificial mortgage through dr carried away that's cause report. headlines this going to waste. flying unused in europe as many people are reluctant to take them at a severe vaccine shortages are being reported in poor countries by the world health organization meanwhile half a 1000000 american victims and counting get no mass vaccination in sight but despite the morbid milestone joe biden escapes the criticism previously leveled at donald trump's handling of the crisis and russia slams the u.s. for undermining free trade unfair competition as washington posts about european companies pulling out of the north stream 2 gas pipeline project in the face of american sanctions.

hello 'd there you're watching r.t. international this wednesday afternoon just gone 2 o'clock in moscow now the head of the world health organization has warned that rich countries against restricting vaccine surprised to developing nations many in the european union are refusing western shots over reports of poor ethical sea leaving significant numbers of unused jobs with more here's 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 being 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 shots aligned 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 in 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. 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 a regularly licensed vaccine like astra zeneca at the back of the vaccination is

something mark for share 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 wrong and now it's backfiring of course we see a very small. of western europeans getting the vaccine and now we've got very big doubts on some of this vaccine manufacturers big pharma zeneca angle of merkel spokesperson 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. 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 box ours in place 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 them and there's no plan b. of course if some kind of trees feel safe with these vaccines and they want them to do that he should should have them or sell them or or give it to that to the poor countries who can't have vaccines staying in it in. some or to some cold spots because there's refrigerated areas around the earth but again before giving that out we have to go through proper medical process and think are they safe or not and if there are some vaccines out there which are not safe they should not only not be given to the european union but they should be given to the 2 who 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 freezes recital 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 r.t. . what we discussed think the uptake of ashers and you can show with the director

of health and the international federation of the red cross and red crescent. and they actually called that we have hundreds of thousands of those effective and safe vaccine lying go unused in the european countries when we have but many else workers in the developing countries that are not getting any vaccine these are not only unethically is extremely sad because every vaccine that is not injected in the arm of a person is a potential death due to. the 19 so we really need to accelerate the distribution of vaccines and to do that one of the critical point in europe has been information and mistrust in not only in europe we have a lot of vaccine is around the world and i think there is a lot of work to be done to make sure that people understand that getting a vaccine that has a 60 percent efficacy rate is a great deal everybody should be going for that vaccine as long as the vaccine is

safe i think has been demonstrated that it will actually do so there's no reason why those people should be not taking a vaccine they're putting themselves and their communities at risk besides creating problems for the rest of the world. joe biden has ordered all flags on federal property to be lowered to half mast to mark the hoffa 1000000 american deaths from coronavirus this kind of pain reports media still glowing in their praise for the president's approach to cohabit spite of being little different to that of the previous administration america's death toll from code 19 is now more than a 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 more lives lost to this virus and any other nation on earth. knowledge the scale of this mass

death in america. remember each person the life they lived 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 a bit 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 malice everyone would be mandated to wear a mask mask mandates mask up mask in place or mask for godsake. were masked if not for yourself your loved ones while masks are proven to stop the spread of coded but is that it he's got the same advisor that trump had doctor now says will probably be wearing masks until 2022 do you think americans will still be wearing masks for example and 20 twentieth's. you know i think it is possible that

that's the case many hope that under biden massive vaccinations might save the day but so far it does not look that way the next few months masks. are the best defense against kuwait 90 biden even visited a farm a facility to show he's got a handle on things however he says that vaccines won't be available 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 get a straight should 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. those 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 we see with president biden he's demonstrated to the country what a difference. the change of presidents has made president biden is confronting this enormous loss directly and publicly help americans heal on any front that something good so biden is uniquely qualified to do resident joe biden giving america a message tonight them and one i think that only this president president could give not the former one but it 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 but 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 made that happen and instead of the media focusing on what's happening with the bye to mr ration and the 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 could play video games with his grandchildren at camp david and say that it's going to be till 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 some 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. one of canada's kind of you think tim's has warned that the stigma

attached to the disease is stopping many people from coming full that if they have symptoms. or same tundras of death threats through is revealed he caught the virus . a lot of people are so right about having kobe not because of it's going to harm them but it's because they're worried of what the the population around them will think when you shame somebody and when you have this big stigma on people for having called it a lot of people who are sick you know that might have a sniffle or a sore throat or something they don't bother going to get tested because they they feel like they're going to be shamed so or shunned and so a lot of people end up hiding their symptoms that's an issue because then you're not getting a true number on cases and and you know you have people going around spreading the virus not knowingly the they have the virus because they are too worried about what people might think that they have the virus he began getting hundreds of death threats a day after being infected in october with people blaming human social media for

the subsequent public restrictions the abuse even forced him to move to the other side of the country. people attacked me for no reason in new brunswick that's my hometown that's where i'm from there's a video that was on october 31st of me saying that i couldn't taste or smell anything and the background story i kind of the you tube video on this so that you know creates allergies where i can't taste her mind you know my nose gets blocked up and and that's what i was relating it to and that's why the 2nd day i booked tasks like wait it's still there you know it could be covert i have to go down to the states so i'm just going to double check i'm pretty sure it's not because my spouse days prior tested negative for $1001.00 of the guys that i was on the trip with who came home early from calgary he tested also negative for quote 19 which he actually had symptoms so i was like ok there's there's probably a very slim chance that i have 1001 i was traveling from calgary back to new brunswick i was considered essential workers so we were required to isolate and i didn't have symptoms at that time my symptoms didn't come to 31st and i was coming

back to new brunswick on the 24th of october. i was frail has been forced to shut his speeches after an oil spill is being described as one of the most disastrous in the country's history expert system assessing the damage but it is expected to take decades to clean. as the 1st. state of israel. dealing with it got the patience to get on with. its under the old good result that 90 percent of the beaches in israel polluted the

good in the alps sand and no between. my lady and the they came to us covered in tar and 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 continue 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 then we can see that they are healthy and gaining weight 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 and i want to help the environment damaged by the spill the oil is targeting and the still coming to our beaches. seems to be brutus of you know we still don't know for sure to do a long time do need to be introduced near. him because the under all do people example seems to be severe but we don't know for sure is still investigating. you suspect that some news should small there only for some reason was an accident maybe not but there was still more exactly what was the

seeds of the words as far as i remember the incident was discussed is the more you use i see the. washing out international still ahead this hour a u.s. democrats are doubling down on efforts to gag conservative media they want digital t.v. providers to reconsider their contracts with right wing networks we'll have a look at the whys and hows just after the break. when else truths seem wrong all right all rolls just don't call. me you while you get to shape out disdain for conflict advocate and engage me because betrayal. points on many find themselves worlds apart when we choose to look for common ground.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by our own personal. dares thinks. we dare to ask. again you with our take now moscow has questioned america's commitment to free trade it does come off to washington brag that more than

a dozen companies have quit russia's nordstrom to gas pipeline project following the threat of u.s. sanctions the u.s. state department has acknowledged that america is undermining the principles of free trade and competition subjugating market laws to its own political interests and acting in spite of the will of sovereign nations well here's our correspondent you go to don off now with more on the growing scandal around the u.s. response. from the very outset the u.s. has been held burned on do you really ignored stream 2 so this time the u.s. state department has compiled and submitted a report to u.s. 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 world inaction of not being keen enough on preventing nordstrom too from coming to

fruition this report is not yet available to the public but ned price the spokesman for the u.s. state department has revealed or that some 18 companies european companies have decided to pull out of the north stream to a med u.s. pressure and when i say pressure i mean sanctions so far the united states have 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 geopolitical warfare but there's an added layer of irony to this story because remember how they said that 18 companies have decided to cut ties with nordstrom to write 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 under the biden administration which turns out. is not the case and it only came to light when price was confronted by a.p.'s matt lee 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 point credit for the companies winding down all of this work was done the previous administration out of all the been months mabyn all you've been in office for a month right are you telling me that unless 'd i am more weeks these 18000 is all

of a sudden a service all while you are you going to not know anything when i am speaking for a dollar. guys are taking credit for stuff that that man is administrative and i am not so i also being for the department of state ok the people who have been working mess ok the people who are working this now where the same people a month ago where the same people 3 months ago 3 months ago and. now us democrat congress members of up the pressure on top digital and cable networks by asking them to justify their hosting of conservative t.v. channels like fox news that letter to the head of one provider accuses him of spreading misinformation and promoting last month's capitol hill riots by working with right wing stations some purported news outlets of longer misinformation rumor mill some conspiracy theory hard births that produce contemned 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. republican representatives are up in arms though seeing the move is a politically motivated assault on freedom of expression. the 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. bagle one media analyst leinil didn't mince his words and branded the democrats may visit disturbing threat to constitutional values since when is this a country serving who like. what if they say something that throwing the letter where that one there's always something wrong who says it's 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 that so why 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 no no no no we want you to speak we just don't want to hear misinformation disinformation dad information conspiracy theories unfounded who decides that since when is that a disqualifier on the dissemination of information my god i'm telling you right now you're not going to believe this but i'll bet you somewhere someplace somebody might think that what you and i are saying is dissent from

a should sure to be to shut us down if you don't like it go someplace else or clarify it this is the most frightening i have ever seen avar. human rights group amnesty international has changed its mind over describing alexina valley as a prisoner of conscience but after the jailed russian opera russian opposition figure made disparaging remarks about shooting ethnic minorities and comparing them to vermin on quarter reports next. it was 1st through an e-mail we saw on twitter that we heard of amnesty international's decision to revoke russian opposition activist alec saying of all the status as a prisoner of conscience we did contact amnesty to confirm the move and they did get back to us so let's take a listen to what they said in response 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 and it's interesting that

amnesty international labeled the volley a prisoner of conscience in the 1st place back in january because he doesn't exactly have the cleanest track record when it comes to conscientious acts just last week of moscow court gave the man a nearly $12000.00 fine for calling a 94 year old war veteran of the 2nd world war a traitor he's also never made a secret of the fact that he believes russia should quote stop feeding the caucuses this is a region that provides russia with a large number of its immigrant population and he's also been catching a lot of flack for a video he made several years ago comparing people from that region to cockroaches . but what if the cockroach is too big and the fly is too aggressive. well in this case i recommend the gun. you can still find that video by the way it's on alex a new of all these you tube channel something apparently he never thought to clean

up perhaps this is why amnesty international decided to cancel the opposition figures status of prisoner of conscience but the organization still clings to the idea that anti corruption fighter aleksei know volumnia sitting in prison because he simply criticized the big bad lot of beer putin not because of the fact that he violated a probationary sentence leveled against him in 2014 for embezzling money from a french company called eve rache amnesty statement doesn't say anything about the fact that in a volley had violated his probation over 50 times before the without receiving any consequences so when it comes to the facts surrounding who alex st of all the really is it seems the human rights organization is not taking everything into account. one quarter of course and i just came up to say a mosque i could have a company but back again with more stories in just over half.

of. the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interests or you see in this these techniques is the state devising methods to end to essentially destroy the personality of an individual. by scientific means this is how one doctor's theories were allegedly used in psychological warfare against prisoners deemed a danger to the state that was the foundation for the method of psychological interrogation psychological court for the cia disseminated within the us intelligence community and worldwide among our allies for the next 30 years then tell the victims say they still live with the consequences today.
