when you get. to. the long term effects of coronavirus the world health organization says countries are struggling to meet the needs of those with long. we get from medics and those suffering from the condition. europe might use coronavirus could serve a new very concerned sparking protests in denmark an island. also has a proposal by the israeli government to electronically tank people returning to the country as an alternative to quarantining in a hotel is met with mixed reaction. good

morning to you thanks for joining us this is r.t. international. the warn year anniversary of the world health organization declaring think around a virus outbreak a global pandemic is now just around the corner around 115000000 people have been infected since then but a new w.h.o. report suggests that countries are failing to meet the needs of those struggling with the long term effects of the disease the burden is really and it is significant about one. remain after 12 weeks and many for much longer. long cove it describes the symptoms of corona virus that persists for weeks or even months after initial infection around one in 10 people still experiences health issues 12 weeks after having covert 19 people suffering

with long covert or reported a range of health problems that include chest the muscle pain hopper potations for t. and auto immune conditions in an exclusive interview r.t. exam tongue spoke with scientists and co over the long haul there's. we have come out of a neck to fighting stage and so now we can start thinking about what happens next it could be soon with something about what exactly not to get into this so the brain sends you some kind of signal by stay sick yes something like this. political show good for more than a year now humanity has been dealing with cove it great he just understands what symptoms have been identified with docs today only now do we start to understand that there is also a long coat that you can use names way between 5 and 50 percent of people struggle with this disease is a much longer than expected people who have been treated at our hospital they are coming back and these situations are becoming ever more common than simple i got

sick this is very worrying. is there anyone who hasn't had experience of working in the red zone everybody has everybody. almost no one talks about this at all but this situation sucks brain being affected with cove it is a common case it's so frequent how frequent well my mom was treated she's an absolutely normal person working as a design engineer and she has the clearest hat when i brought her here i realized that she could not think so clearly anymore i attributed it to intoxication or fever but when she left the hospital she hadn't started thinking more clearly it was only 4 months later when she was back to normal this is just like how same date precisely and these things clinical picture everything is just like in that series

. the other will figure before the little 30 i thought that i was cured and everything would return to normal the cornea but unfortunately this was not the start that i started. felt bad and i had to call a doctor again when i realized that i couldn't walk more than 100 feet 150 meters they say i was getting tired immediately and i would get a burning feeling on my chest was very beautiful some weeks that in the earliest article is when the 1st time that not all people were immediately recovery and they calculated that about 5 percent of those affected would suddenly grow with so-called colleville tail and they couldn't get treated for a very long time according to the figures that we have now at least 20 percent of people experience such consequences not 5 according to are the sources like the number conversion almost 50 percent of those who recovered and what is especially warring is that the severity of the symptoms only partially correlates with the severity of the initial decision. and i did not have any fever

a cough at all. then i start to cough up blood and i got a very severe pain in my legs. some symptoms were ending other were starting headaches and even congestion in my chest despite non damage to my lungs. it was just endless what they're going to describe it is as if you are sick with something but what exactly nobody can. afford it would be logical if complications off to cope with it in the most severe cases if a patient who lie like this in intensive care on a ventilator but in fact this is not the case the majority of people with the so-called tail to. the young people who have never been to intensive care and moreover have not even consulted doctors about our care if it. definitely hits the nervous system that this is its main target then which way the milk at the small

from both the sick or in the vessels of the brain little hemorrhage is really all this becomes evident by the very different symptoms and sometimes rather obvious and sometimes no headache is something understandable in this is not due to intoxication but due to covert micro bleeding and swelling. massive weakness is also what everyone describes what is completely unusual for other diseases visual and hearing impairment dreams become weird you know even hallucinogenic like the kentucky cardiac can be terrible and completely inexplicable even young people can have any. but the even young people who do not have any hope authorities are good they go through an e.c.g. an echo the doctors find nothing. all this made us realize that this is damage to the central nervous system so the brain sends you some kind of a signal by stay sick yes something like this. virus does not attack something in particular and equally for everyone who gets here a chain is only as strong as its weakest link if you had a certain the weakness in your body is that the virus will target and there is one

here is unaccounted indicator which we already see in scientific articles people experience in post called the symptoms that are likely to live shorter than the initial it could. anyway these people who feel unwell after covert 19 should seek help even if it is a phobia it is better to make sure that this is actually true and then see a psychologist or psychiatrist to deal with it. with every day we see more and more patients for whom koby did not end with them leaving the hospital sometimes the consequences last for months and how long it will last is completely incomprehensible the most important thing here is not to miss the moment and see a doctor in time. to the nutty europe where protests have broken out in ireland and then marcus people took to the streets to protest against stricter coronavirus curbs.

you believe that life matters because. it comes as some real countries in europe impose regional quarantines in an attempt to avoid nationwide lockdowns germany for example this time you coronavirus controls on part of the french border of affairs of new coronavirus there because it's good for my situation after all to show the david she sort of put in prison life from paris good morning charlotte what's the latest on until a bit more about will there be any more restrictions for example of germany france border. well that's what it seems on tuesday there will be restrictions for individuals living in the northeastern moselle region travelling from france to

germany unless they present a 19 certificate to show that they're negative from the fire and that comes of course as the epidemic is worsening across the country here in france that's according to the health minister himself turns to having state tough decisions a posing weekend lockdowns and also trying to combat that fine mess now plans are also being discussed here in paris to possibly have a 3 week locked out there really doesn't appear as if the curfew measure which has been in place now since around at the end of october beginning of them but is really happening and nothing can impact this is it could be this from 6 pm in the evening to 6 am in the morning but despite that that's not how the director general of health in france sees it. the situation is obviously very tense the government has taken strong braking measures particularly with the curfew the latter works very well. now look this comes of course as the ear is still having

massive issues the rollout of its vaccine program to do so as quickly as it would like never daddy difficulties to this we understand that separate block members have been contacted recently at doses of could be vaccine that appeared to be influential and we're talking about so 900000000 doses have with about 13000000000 euros according to the eaves and see through date didn't see that's very worrying given that many countries are desperate to get moved doses of vaccines it does come though to time when a 3rd vaccine that johnson and johnson vaccine upset to be approved in the next few weeks there are still of course these big issues over the astra zeneca vaccine which is kind of sort of who could in terms of its efficacy for. could be patients and old individuals by leaders not just in germany but also here in france and it

seems that that is having a massive impact on the uptake of this particular vaccine with the majority of doses just going and used to read a figure that it was 85 percent of doses in germany had gotten used to this about 90 percent in france and that's as the fear mongering people saying well i just don't want this that scene because i don't think it has the right efficacy and there are calls now for those unused doses not to be wasted or to be used for younger people we cannot afford the vaccine sitting around and not being used because some of those entitled to it reject it. well meanwhile as the e.u. is struggling to get hold of jobs that people actually do want some one are taking matters into their own hands like the czech republic which has declared a new state of emergency as cases search there it's now looking at ordering the russians for the vaccine. there's

a huge interest in the russian vaccine we cannot wait for the european medicines agencies approval the state institute for drug control must examine the documentation and if they approve it the health ministry has to issue an exemption well it won't be the 1st to do that hungry has already been administrating and doses of sputnik the since several and the beginning all february vaccine was shown to have an efficacy of around 92 percent but it has not yet been approved for use by the european medical agency it does seem though that some each you countries feel that they have to take those matters into their own hand now deciding that enough is enough and it's not good enough to do it as part of the block is the e.u. anymore. thank you charlotte their son our correspondent in paris for that live update there shanna davis case. turning to israel where a government proposal to track people returning from abroad with an electronic bracelet as an alternative to quarantine hotels well that's met with

a mixed reaction from israelis hardy's paula slayer reports from the airport where the pilot program has been dogged. as you can see behind me it's largely deserted there are full flights that are scheduled to arrive the soft noon and passengers on those flights will be part and parcel of a new pilot program that is being launched today and which is hugely controversial a year ago one would not have imagined that we'd be in the situation now when you arrive in israel you have one of 2 choices either you choir in team in an army hotel or you can go home and do a home quarantine for 10 days but now you have to go home with an electronic monitoring system this entails wearing an electronic bracelet either around will restore your ankle now this bracelet is part of a tracking system it's connected to a smartphone which is connected to a sticker that is placed on one of the walls of a person's home the company monitoring the whole system will receive some kind of

signal the moment the person steps foot out of the home so it's a way to try and stop people breaking home quarantine and it's also a way for the israelis to reopen the skies and return to some kind of normality the company that has designed the technology says that everything is safe and that people should not be worried in fact it is not as intrusive the stick knology as are the apps that are currently being used in israel the company has also stressed the point that it's not monitoring any kind of personal information it's not according in the information and at the same time it's not taking pictures it's also said that the bracelet is to quote comfortable that it is efficient that people won't even know that they have it on them it's very light and it's waterproof they actually gone so far as to call it a freedom bracelet saying that it gives passengers arriving in israel the choice to do an army hotel quarantine or a home quarantine having said all of that it still hasn't satisfied many people who are critical of the whole program asking travelers to choose between military force

quarantine motel and an electronic bracelet i don't even know where to start with you. is a nightmare happening at warp speed and trialed in israel before its global debut israel launches pilot program to track returning passengers using electronic bracelets and the knesset passed a law allowing disclosing identities of unvaccinated to authorities watch how the pandemic continues to erode any semblance of civil rights now land and a border is here in israel have been closed since january and at this point in time they will remain close for at least a now the 2 weeks the only people being allowed into the country are stranded israelis support an independent organization the israel democracy institute is a watchdog and is why we eat about the direction in which this country is headed. the concern is that they are ocean of the rights affected is not proportionate but rather extreme even in view of the current health challenge they stream changes in

policy from one of a food open air port to complete closure without warning question unaware citizens who travelled abroad lawfully with the full expectation that they would be able to return and without giving them a chance to prepare accordingly it creates intolerable human situations now the pilot system sees 100 tracking systems being issued there is a plan in place to expand this to a 1000 but that depends on legislation we've also heard from the health ministry that they haven't ruled out the possibility of wheat introducing monitoring people's cell phones and that was something that the israeli internal security the shin bit was involved in last year but it also proved to be hugely controversial. in addition to the new proposals the israeli government's already passed a law that gives or thirty's access to personal data of unvaccinated people measure will remain in place for 3 months and provide data on those you've only had one job

dose or knowledge or the government insists that the law is designed to encourage vaccination only and that the information will not be used for any other per. this is what people on the streets of tel aviv had to say about all. this i'm concerned that the government wants to share private medical information with initiatives that are not relevant and i see it as a major violation of civil rights i definitely all about it to let this information out and out of that as an incentive to people to get vaccines and as. taking us one step closer to normal life it's very simple you know very fire people because of him to get vaccinated and adore listings and basically the corner office and when we let them do it their way they doing it they're doing it strikes by slice of it under the influence your would rot in the streets and then and demonstrate how we had to do when be discrimination between people who've had the vaccine in people who have and everybody should do it and then everything will be

open to everybody. and a lot more news for you in just a moment. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see them. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being

led. by. what is true what is. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the. forum even the shallows. come back to us math professor has been suspended by university in pennsylvania after he spoke out against racial bias training and reparations for slavery this was in a series of tweets gregory mankiw go from st josephs university doubted the effectiveness of slavery reparations likening that to the descent of a murder victim asking for compensation from the perpetrators relative he also questioned whether racial bias training only serves to divide america university

itself has called the tweets biased and discriminatory suspending manco until the end of the semester in may he spoke to us about the decision. i have a weather account that didn't even have my name on it it was an organization that i used to own that had folded and i kept the account just for voicing opinions but i kept my name off of it because in academia people who think like me who are not far left of center and have to keep their opinions quiet people from outside the university discovered that it was me they took shots pictures screenshots of the tweets. added commentary to them docs to me which means they exposed me for i as the author of them injected them put them in a sent them to students actual students at the school and encourage them to get me fired from my job sent them around and said that i was racist and i shouldn't have

a job and within 34 hours of that i was put on paid leave pending an investigation . there is only the latest in a series of academics whose views of landed them in hot water university of chicago professor harald lic came under fire for criticizing the black lives matter and defund the police movements and he was forced to apologize if a stephen pinker from harvard had been accused of playing down racial injustice in a series of awards tweets suggesting police shootings were not connected to race gregory mancow expressed his concern over the current state of free speech in education. there's a lot of people that are afraid to be who they are because they're afraid of being of being bullied by the cancel culture crowd and i'm hoping that we can fix this i've got a lot of feedback from. students at the university much more feedback i think then

is objecting to this as far as. go ahead that somebody is finally standing up to the cancel culture that is just totally it's gripping our our colleges gripping many colleges there's a certain way of thinking that is acceptable on university campuses and anything that deviates from that. you either have to keep quiet or you risk getting what they say cancel as far as they will shut you down the command you know universities really promote diversity and inclusion on campus more and more these days and i think you know i'm fine with that that's a good thing but when it comes to diversity of ideas and opinions. it's the exact opposite. attacks on police officers and friends have increased significantly so over the last 2 decades according to the country's interior minister.

that. we're not going on. about your errors. well 95 incidents of violence against officers have been recorded in france every day in january alone more than 2200 cases were registered over the past 20 years the number of attacks on police is more than doubled and on thursday the sas held police station near paris was attacked with projectiles and fireworks by around 30 people officials say 4 suspects were arrested on french police officer told us what he thought is behind the violence. what we need to do is to try to resolve the

problem upstream and try to find solutions to the tensions that are undermining the climate between the police and part of the population especially the youth and we have to focus on the background for example if we're talking about the sar cell police station attack now journalist wrote a little less than a month ago about a pregnant woman who had been stopped by a police patrol from a veiled woman who was 4 and a half months pregnant was pushed to the wall by a policewoman and lost her baby following this even if the media doesn't talk about it people don't forget i'm not sure there is a link between the 2 cases but this kind of information circulates in the press but also circulates by word of mouth so that doesn't help to ease tensions this is not a problem that appeared suddenly it has an origin. comes as the french senate is due to rewrite article $24.00 of its global security law if passed the law would curb people's ability to share images identifying police officers in the media

those found guilty of violating the law could face up to one year in prison under $45000.00 euro 5 critics of the bill though argue that it could stop people from exposing police brutality. thinks that any changes to the law may have come to light. what really has exploded these last few years is police violence today's police violence is no longer the same as it was 10 or 20 years ago today people film these kind of violations and put them on the internet only the day before yesterday there was another case of police violence that was filmed in paris on the video we can see 2 police officers who insult and handle a black man quite roughly so we have to read between the lines and understand that this is a defense strategy developed by the ministry of the interior and in particular by the police force which ultimately puts on an equal footing police violence and violence committed against the police which is also real today we have to

completely change our strategy but i think that during the term of emanuel micron it's already a little bit late to make changes because the presidential campaign will start in a few months and it's late to make decisions that have not been made in the last 4 years. a new documentary about the arts political activism of. frontline of system of a down has been released to the public on the grounds of returns he discussed the project with you can see the full version of the interview on r.t. throughout the day is the text. the 1st 20 minutes you know i'm not saying stand a rock human tree because there's an element of identity culture the armenian quarter of los angeles and hollywood and then suddenly 911 changes everything in the program right well it was kind of like that in our band's career as well because we launched our 2nd record toxicity right as 911 hit and it

really changed the complete landscape our song was off the radio along with everyone else's song clear channel at the time had censored a lot of songs off the radio and yet we still had the number one record on billboard in the united states with a song called chop suey which talked about a self-righteous suicide you might have to remind people why. your music was banned off to 911 because in in this film i mean the idea they use specifically were questioning u.s. foreign policy and some of you get accused of somehow supporting 911 i wrote an essay called understanding oil what i was trying to do is understand how something like this could happen in the 1st place and part of that was trying to unravel to 50 years of unjust propping up of dictators u.s. foreign policy and basically calling for a multilateral approach to deal with the issue not some jingoistic kind of you know cowboy response to the whole thing which is kind of what was going on with the

invasion of afghanistan and iraq which you know iraq specifically had nothing to do with it and the whole pretense of weapons of mass destruction that never existed so you know it was a reaction to that at the time and knowing that this is just another this might serve as another ploy true. to turn into a resource acquisition type of thing for the u.s. rather than truly bringing justice and that's what i was interested in and trying to understand it and it had a huge backlash back backlash because you know pete. but we're not ready for that there was a lot of reactionism going on a lot of flag waving a lot of. patriotism but also not really understanding what was going on you know there were a few artists that spoke out along with myself and donna spoke out maynard from tool spoke out the dixie chicks spoke out but it was a handful of artists and we all got backlash for.

going on top stories top of their see that. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day. we dare to ask. something other than. whatever they pay for them it's. about the. right.

types to use a punishment to me in the next. moment i. wish . you could feel good in though it. will. be good again with a. one ton. it's a business i think i would say it's not. they're made illegal by the fact that full sex workers are in a hopeless financial situation. savings may have seen them through the 1st down but the 2nd is driving brothels and workers into bankruptcy. prostitution is legal in germany.
