this hour several countries in europe are rocked by violent protests after the tide coronavirus curbs. into the lives of people suffering from the coronavirus months after initial infection also known as the long haul is. a proposal by the israeli government to use electronic tags to ensure people self isolate were returning to the country that's been met with a mixed reaction. either thanks for joining us this is r.t.

international. around 150000000 people have been infected by corona virus and 2 and a half 1000000 have died since the start of the pandemic but despite these figures relatively little is known about the long term effects of the disease also known as long cove it. examines the condition as part of his coronavirus documentary series . political show good visually more than a year now humanity has been dealing with covert he just understands what symptoms have been identified but only now do we start to understand that there is also a long covariate use names way between 5 and 50 percent of people struggle with this disease for much longer than expected people who have been treated at our hospital and they are coming back and these situations are becoming even more common than simple i got sick this is very worrying.

just like how same date precisely comprehensible symptoms everything is just like in that serious of. the other will i thought that i was cured and everything would return to normal but unfortunately this was not the case i started choking felt bad and had to call a doctor again and i realized that i couldn't walk more than 100 to 150 meters i was getting tired immediately and i would get a burning feeling in my chest it would be logical if complications off the coast but it could in the most severe cases have patients who lie like this in intensive care on ventilators but in fact this is not the case the majority of people with the so-called covert tail along a young people who have never been in intensive care and moreover have not even

consulted doctors about. 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 leg some of the questions some symptoms were ending other were starting headaches and even congestion in my chest despite non damage to my launce. it was just an less. it is if you are sick with something but of what exactly nobody can tell. it definitely hits the nervous system this is its main target then which way. the small from both these occur in the vessels of the brain little haemorrhages all this becomes evident via very different symptoms sometimes rather obvious and sometimes not a headache is something understandable and this is not due to intoxication produce a covert micro bleeding and swelling. massive weakness is also what everyone

describes and what is completely unusual for other diseases in the visual and hearing impairment dreams become weird even hallucinogenic and techie cardia can be terrible and completely inexplicable even young people can have it. even young people who do not have any heart pathologies 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. every day we see more and more patients for whom kovi 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. while the protests have broken out in ireland denmark people have taken to the

streets to demonstrate against stricter coronavirus curbs. let it. just so lucky. because. it comes as several countries in europe impose regional quarantines and in the time to avoid nationwide lockdowns germany for example is tell you run virus controls along part of the french border following a rise in new variants cases. like to paris auntie course will show the devious

he is there with the latest good morning charlotte tell us the latest on that in particular about those new border controls. well that's right germany says it's going to enforce the seaboard a cold control from tuesday which will affect some $16000.00 cross border workers france is unhappy about but it means those workers will have to present a negative difficult to be able to go and do the jobs they going to continue discussing about that but clearly there's some an ease about those restrictions coming into place there's also been new restrictions being put in place over the weekend here in france in several towns and cities that have seen new knock downs as the cases of covert 19 continue to worsen they continue to worsen is the way the health minister has described the situation now there are also discussions taking place in paris today about the idea of a 3 week a mini lockdown here so it does seem clear to many people that the curfew which has

been in place for many months between 6 pm and 6 am in the morning isn't working but if you ask the director general of health in front stops no one he things. the situation is obviously very tense the government has taken strong braking measures particularly with the curfew the latter works very well. well the e.u. of course is still having problems with its vaccine rollout it's been slow from the start only around 8 percent of adults have beem lated across the block fall behind . their counterparts in the u.k. we're almost at 30 percent now the e.u. is having to deal with other issues as it appears that several members of the book have been contacted by middlemen who are attempting to set fraudulent doses of the 19 vaccines and 900000000 doses with around 13000000000 euros according to the

e.u.'s anti food watchdog and this of course comes as some vaccine make is still on or able to supply those contracted numbers to the e.u. . there are still questions particularly over the astra zeneca vaccine the efficacy of which in older people had been questioned not just by phones but also by germany and as a result of that many people are refusing in those countries to have that particular vaccine so much so that some figures suggest up to 85 percent of doses in germany haven't been used and possibly around 90 percent of doses haven't been used in france so much so that there are of course now to give those extra time since teen younger individuals who might accept the fact seen. we cannot afford the vaccine sitting around and not being used because some of those entitled to it rejected. well as the e.u.

is struggling to get the doses of the vaccines that people actually moved to take some countries are now taking matters into their own hands let's take the czech republic for example which has declared a new nationwide state of emergency as the number of cases royce there's so much so that they've decided that they might reach out and obtain the sputnik v. vaccine from russia. there's a huge interest in the russian vaccine we can't wait for the european medicines agencies approved the state institute for drug control must examine the documentation and. private the health ministry has to issue an exemption. well that would be the 2nd european country to do so hungry is already administering doses over the sputnik the vaccine which is said to have had an effort to see over around 92 percent making it one of the most sort of highest

efficacy of the 3 major vaccines including of course the pfizer vaccine and it does seem now that despite the fact that that vaccine hasn't yet been approved for regulatory you see in the e.u. that more e.u. countries looking to get hold of the species to be able to look to late their populations quicker e.u. countries now deciding that perhaps it is best to do this alone rather than relying on the block reporting live from paris that's our correspondent charles duper ski thank you. killers to israel now where a government proposal to use electronic bracelets to insure people self isolate them returning from abroad has been met with mixed reaction by israelis. live reports from the airport where the program was launched. as you can see behind me it's largely deserted and there are 4 flights that are scheduled to arrive this off

to 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 quarantine in an army hotel or you can go home and do a home quarantine 14 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 enforced quarantine motel and then electronic bracelets i don't even know where to start with. it is a nightmare happening in warp speed and trialed in israel before its global debut is or 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 aboard an independent organization the israel democracy institute is a watchdog and is walid about the direction in which this country is headed. the concern is that the erosion 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 airport to a complete closure without warning and where 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 creates intolerable human situations now the pilot system sees 100 tracking systems being issued it 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 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. israeli governments already passed a law that gives the authorities access to personal data of unvaccinated the measure will remain in place for 3 months provide information on those sudan they have one job dos or none at all the government insists though that the law is only designed to encourage banks and nation and says the information will not be used for any of the purpose is what people on the streets of tel aviv have to say about the law. but i'm concerned that the government wants to share private medical

information with institutes that are not relevant i see it as a major violation of civil rights i definitely all about it to let this information out in order that as an incentive to people to get like seen and as. taking us one step closer to normal life it's very simple you know very far people because of him to get vaccinated any dollars things and basically the corner office and where we let them do it their way they doing are they doing it strikes by these lies if you don't know what it was you are right in the streets and then and demonstrate i really hope that there won't be discrimination between people who've had the vaccine. people who haven't everybody should do it and then everything will be open to everybody. to come for you a university professor in america has been suspended that was for a series of tweets that the post slavery reparations and racial bias training story after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy

confrontation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the french senate is set to debate a controversial security bill this week which i'm still restrict the sharing of images of police officers online this comes after the country's interior ministry revealed attacks on offices of more than doubled over the past 2 decades with recent yellow vest and anti lockdown protests exacerbating the situation. but.

there are. more than 85 incidents of violence against offices are recorded in france every day in january alone more than 2200 cases were registered just last thursday the cell police station near paris that was attacked with projectiles and fireworks that was by around 30 people official say 4 suspects were arrested or french police officer told us what he thought was behind the attacks. 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 is especially the youth and we have to focus on the background for example if we're talking about

the source 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. article $24.00 of the security bill would curb people's ability to share images identifying police officers in the media and online those found guilty of violating the law could face up to a year in prison and 45000 euro fine critics of the bill argue it could stop people from exposing police brutality is now a new hour again. 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 filmed 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 a manual 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. the u.s.

must professor has been suspended by university in pennsylvania after he spoke out against racial bias training and reparations for slavery in a series of tweets gregory manco from st joseph's university doubted the effectiveness of slavery reparations likening them to the descendants of the murder victim asking for compensation from the perpetrators relative question whether racial bias training only serves to divide americans in diversity is called the to its biased and discriminatory suspending manco until the end of the semester in may he spoke about the decision. i had a twitter 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 discover that it was made they took shots pictures screenshots of the

tweets. added commentary to them docs to me which means they exposed me for 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 . is only the latest in a series of academics his views have got them into trouble last year university of chicago professor how old link. to criticizing the black lives matter and defund the police movements he was forced to apologize a stephen pinker from harvard university had been accused of playing down racial injustice in a series of tweets gregory mankiw expressed his concern over the current state of

free speech and 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 come after 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. a new documentary about the art and political activism of says tank in front man of rock band system of a down has been released to the public going on the grounds of humor tons of discuss the project with the musician you can see the full interview on r.t. throughout the day is a quick test. the 1st 20 minutes are 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 on earth your music was banned after 911 because in in this film i mean the idea that you specifically were questioning u.s. foreign policy and somehow 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 the band mcdonough spoke out that maynard from tool spoke out the dixie chicks spoke out but it was a handful of artists and we all got backlash for. cal return with a base on top stories just about the divinest on that. the

world is driven by shaped by.

military thinks. we dare to ask. tactics that can be used to get innocent people to confess to crimes they didn't commit i don't even think people in the us really get that the police are allowed to lie to the person who falsely confessed actually came to believe the lie that they were told about their own behavior once a false confession is taken the case is closed and nobody really can tell the difference between a good confession and one that isn't. hello

and welcome across the uk where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle on the campaign trail joe biden said nothing would fundamentally changed he was right washington is again illegally bombing syria and why trump ism will not go away any time soon. to discuss these issues and more i'm joined by my guest marcus papadopoulos in london he's a historian analyst and author of the new book a rise rossiya the return of russia to world politics and in budapest we have george said well he's a podcast direct the gavel which can be found on you tube and rumble right generally across up rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate his go to marcus 1st i'm having

a lot of enjoyment watching all of the people that criticize donald trump for bombing syria which i did at the time and the early part of his administration but the same people that criticize trump for doing that are praising joe biden for doing exactly the same thing that's probably the only value that twitter has it's a record to look at people's hypocrisy go ahead mark. well hater it didn't take long for joe biden to violate senate flagrantly violates international law so the 1st time as u.s. president when he ordered the american military to strike syria and specifically iranian forces in syria which i should add are legally in syria and i should also add have played a vitally important low in the low back of the whole lot so isis and al qaeda now wouldn't it be injured.
