4:00 pm
1st the presidential speech. content warnings the same. other media. picking a show off. becomes the 3rd nation to order supplies of sputnik. second to approve the job and the block itself struggles with. his. own friends and family say no one should be off limits when it comes to informing. breakers.
4:01 pm
live from moscow this is our team my names you know male and 30 minutes of news and views start. deleted r.t. video. first post presidential speech citing a lack of content warnings or for the exact same footage still remains on the other you chewed pages earlier i discussed the removal with r.t. senior correspondent. well this is this is just the latest such incident there's you know there's been a chain of them over the past several years and susu this video is new comment right it's just a direct feed from she packed where donald trump now former president was giving his 1st public speech since leaving office in it he again called
4:02 pm
and this is what is called caused quite a stir. in the media he again said that the elections were falsified the there was a little fraud something that is disputed something with he has offered no proof of but this is a line that he maintains and you tube. basically came out and said that you know you had to give this video with a warning with a warning saying that everything trump was saying in this speech which you know there was no comment off offered by us that it's all you know think basically the interesting thing about this is that they they formulated in the way that it violated their scam and spam policies which is which is very interesting since this is a direct feed of what the former president will say artsy sputnik artsy dortch stream trump speech without any e.d.'s
4:03 pm
a constant warnings provided the reduce contain trump's full speech about the us 2020 presidential election our fellows up on the internet the partment they went and looked for the same video on other platforms like reuters a.b.c. the independent and while it's still up it's still up there there's no comment there's no warning they basically give the same video donald trump speech and it's still up there's no she drags there's new deletion is no warnings this is just the latest incident over the recently especially the. the amount of and there's no other way to call it censorship is the you know it's selectively applying rules to only specific shadows. sputnik that is censorship for example last year up in arms a documentary about the violent protests in the united in the united states and they were violent weren't there on both sides both the and the far right protests
4:04 pm
staged across america they they often turned violent and there was a nazi documentary up in arms so they interviewed and. activists they interviewed more conservative activists and you tube came out and struck a warning that this is frightening potentially frightening content shocking content and basically what that means is people have to log in to you tube they have to be very 1000 years old and it drastically lose the number of views you can potentially get now this documentary used footage widely available everywhere else show all over the place it was a loss of course on c.n.n. on fox news and all sorts of outlets just just the normal user accounts and none of them was struck with a warning or with the truck or with a warning label you know a block there was nothing it was only applied to r
4:05 pm
t then you had. another documentary about isis the post published in 2016 last year it suddenly suddenly struck with a warning susu to view it again you have to log in so for 4 years people watched this video for 4 years nobody had a problem with it and suddenly it becomes shocking content which is a specially interesting because you can find on you tube on facebook you find former sheria judges saying that you know beheadings are normal trying to justify bad things you can find adam will cool. the videos you can find violence but a documentary about the horrors of isis is now shocking they use there was also an incident with r.t. arabic where they published a video just a news radio to no no comment no nothing about medication to do for treating covert you know heavy sort of you could cases that was struck down by you tube because it
4:06 pm
apparently. violated the this information rules so r.t. appealed the appeal was struck down again and this is year they did this there's a chain of these incidents there's a pattern where r.t. or russian media a targeted with all these rules that are there in writing that they think up and that he is suddenly. in violation of so you know it's certainly a worrying problem but i suppose our legal department will be filing notices. slovakia has become country number 39 to give the green light to russia's main covert vaccine it's the 2nd e.u. nation to approve sputnik the comes as the blocks back seen shortages continue to light shore dubin ski has more now on europe's floundering inoculation campaign.
4:07 pm
well there is dissent in the e.u. ranks who are now saying enough is enough with this slow rollout of the vaccine process that is being watched over by the e.u. let's take slovakia that's become the latest e.u. country to decide it needs to buy doses of the sputnik reback seen from russia its made an order of around 2000000 doses it is the 2nd nation to do that how green is already in new york relating its citizens with the sputnik the that scene in the czech republic is also said that it's interested in possibly buying it now this iraqi in the pm said it was necessary to buy this vaccine to boost the inoculation program. buying this russian vaccine was the right thing to do it's trustworthy anyone who wants the job will get one in the next 2 months we will get 1000000 vaccines and then in may in june another 1000000 i believe that by meeting the deadlines promised supplies russia will prove that it's
4:08 pm
a stable partner we can rely on in these hard times since the cove in $1000.00 pandemic does not pay attention to geopolitical issues the protection of human life preventives above all else we've seen fit to buy a russian vaccine so that slovak's who wish to can get vaccinated well that vaccine is due to be used in the next 2 weeks it hasn't of course that regulatory approval by the european union's e m a this is the european medicines agency but in an emergency such as a pandemic if a country in the block decides that it gives approval of vaccine that hasn't been approved on that wide spectrum that can be used now the e.u. is wos according to it though or not something that's a problem within the block but something that's actually to do with russia the natives it seems that this will cause action diplomacy. actions recently with some
4:09 pm
actors in particular once again christian. trying to discredit. that human factor is why. all using racial these 2 shouldn't. do again geopolitical. however it's clear that it's the only countries that have been questioning the efficacy of vaccines that they may has approved let's take the astra zeneca vaccine for example now both france and germany raised questions about this vaccine president of france describing it as being quasi affective for the over 60 five's germany didn't recommend that it was given to the over 60 five's both have since made a u. turn and a singing a different turn poland on its part is apparently in discussions with china to potentially have the vaccine from that also another vaccine that has not been given approval by a while to move to the problems that the e.u.
4:10 pm
is facing austria and denmark are now in discussions with israel about potentially money fracturing vaccines in that country in a chance to boost the production to get moved back seems to its citizens chancellor 1 of austria suggesting could say in his words it was needed because it was exactly like waiting for. my danish colleague has made a good comparison i think she spoke of the catch up effect you probably all remember what ketchup bottle so used to be like where it often took a long time before anything came out and then all of a sudden the whole torrent came out and it will be similar with vaccinations the e.u. is desperately trying to save face it's now launched a continent one project to try and boost the manufacturing of vaccines but for many in europe this is already too little too late and they feel that they really
4:11 pm
have to at this point go it alone. russia has a 3rd vaccine in its arsenal against the pandemic kovi is expected to enter the market later this month we spoke with the center director but. when you pulled out of the can you explain what makes the kovi vaca vaccine different he uses a deactivated virus but what does that actually me who was wounded in the queue works with we used a process called in activation which basically means killing the virus vaccines usually use a live virus or an already dead one we're dealing with an inactivated whole cell vaccine an approach that we've been developing for many years all of the vaccines that that you mock of center are based on this method a significant number of our vaccines form part of the russian national vaccination calender. causing a lot of the book at the what how long did it take to develop the vaccine how did you test it with you know where i'm of the it took almost a year and that's
4:12 pm
a very short time no western company has ever managed to produce a vaccine like this in such a short timeframe there are other technologies involved a key step was extracting the virus we went to various clinics and took blood samples from sick patients and tested for the presence of the virus one patient turned out to have a strain that was particularly amenable to our ends we were able to multi-line it and to cultivate it this was followed by the technological stages which manufactured the virus then purified it and then killed it the so-called in activation process as a result we get an industrial strain of the virus fit for mass production you know it was from the give you go to morse code doesn't ease the foreign manufacturers said it was impossible to create an effective vaccine in such a short period of time then the lancet magazine published these efficacy data and many more people wanted to buy our faxing how will you convince the west that your vaccine is as effective. as not to because it would but if you do
4:13 pm
not have to prove the prestige of our institution in the products it makes the institute is 60 years old and it's connected to the victory over polio and yellow fever and we deliver drugs for these diseases abroad so we don't need any promotion the pandemic has created something akin to a state of war so all our resources have been redirected towards launching the vaccine into civilian circulation it's not about convincing anyone everything we do meets the requirements of the world health organization with which we have close cooperation the state has the task of solving the civil circulation issue and of doing the promotion the 1st challenge is to obtain the product and then to get it out there the way you want walls on march 1st last year the the in order all case of corona virus was the tech did in a russian national let's have a brief look at how the following 12 months here unfolded.
4:14 pm
friends family and neighbors no one should be off the snooping radar when it comes to covert rubric years of least according to new zealand's prime minister but those informing become yet another symptom of. nuclear and picks up the story. amidst the many lockdowns thousands of face masks and gallons of hand sanitizer
4:15 pm
kind of it has also encourage families and friends to reconnect check in more often to family quizzes but also question who we can really trust in new zealand kiwis have been encouraged to turn detective and report to any rule breakers they come across whether they be your friendly local greengrocer oh you'll day old grandma even with a full understanding of human fallibility it is not appropriate and it is not r.k. i mean this is a team of 5000000 to meet the rest of us down and it seems it's a proven practice remember last year when the shit number of do that is snitching on their neighbors was some of the well make it crashed a police website we've had 4200 reports of people believing others were compliant again it shows how. determined. to ensure that everyone complies with us convinced the idea of turning us into
4:16 pm
a world of informers is the key to compliance leaders across the globe competed for the most creative ways to encourage as all to tell allays matt opted for a cash incentive you know the old expression about snitches well in this case snitches get rewards we want to thank you for turning folks in and making sure we are all safe in washington police transformed a local up for residents into an express line to rat on your neighbor with governor stay home stay healthy order in effect the bellevue police have developed an easy way for residents to report violations reports logged into the my bellevue would generate a heat map showing where there are potentially illegal gatherings business activity and it's really such was the strength of the ole seeing army they decided to make it official and created $60000.00 jobs for those who felt the need to daub in others and no souls was spat in germany as even politicians felt the wrath of the
4:17 pm
school you'd think the public might have been appalled by those measures but the enthusiasm was so overwhelming that some police stations in the u.k. were receiving so many calls that they had to create a separate special hotline for the hold of curtain twitching do gooders now there's nothing wrong with asking people to remain vigilant and helpful we all have to do our bit but what happens when coburn itself coughs it's lost in the pandemic finally blows over the curtain twitchers will just be left nervously twitching hoping to once again be friends and not enemies. we are still ahead this news our white employer the us college means proposed over what she calls a populist fear of racial discrimination that story along there are parts of.
4:18 pm
eh eh eh. eh eh. eh eh eh. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.
4:19 pm
19 minutes past midnight here in moscow welcome back a white employee to the elite liberal arts college in the u.s. has quit or what she called an atmosphere of racial discrimination there jodi shortline the incident for us. i was required to attend training a professional development retreat and at the training i was asked to talk about my race in the context of my childhood i had asked i told my director beforehand that i'm uncomfortable talking about race in the workplace we're not expected to talk about why it's not legal to ask about race in a job interview so i'm not clear on why we're expected to talk about it as
4:20 pm
a part of our job so i just said i'm a coder woods talking about race and she said that's fine just don't talk about is say you're uncomfortable so that is exactly what i did at the workshop the facilitators later told our group that any white person who is resistant to discussing their skin color when requested. is not actually uncomfortable what they are doing it is a power play it's called way fragility and it is power play this was the reaction the president of the college the smiths the claims of a racially hostile environment of baseless but in her resignation letter jodie shaw said the climate of the college shifted dramatically following an incident in 28 days.
4:21 pm
if you don't know you're going to oh i know is eating lunch i'm working a summer program so he says realizing how many calories ok is like trying to stuff like this happens way too often where people just feel like. yeah and with the 20th investigation jodi believes that the probe simply stoked racial tensions the school. college is very invested in talking about race in
4:22 pm
a way that i find is racially hostile and so i believe you for going to talk about race let's talk about it in a meaningful authentic manner which we're not they're not doing residence i've curriculum really is a cricket on that teaches students that their identity is actually a social identity which is made up of immutable characteristics that is their race their gender their ethnicity but usually race at smith race is a big one it's essentially telling them that their skin color is their destiny and it's also setting up this strange dynamic or i would even call it a toxic dynamic between students of color and white students in which white students of color can only be free if white students confess their oppressor status or their white privilege as they call it. you know a story of a similar theme a dutch poet was pulled out of translating a poem by a fricken american or through a fair criticism but
4:23 pm
a block translator wasn't picked for the job dimitri polk ponders whether this is one case of social justice that's been lost in translation. amanda gorman a young black author recited her poem the hills we climate biden's inauguration in it she called for peace and unity and the togetherness of the american people and her poem inspired many including dutch author marie clucas reinfeldt who is the youngest winner of the international booker prize award and she was chosen to translate gorman's work into dutch at a time of increased polarization amanda gorman shows in her young fellows the power of spoken warrant the power of frequency the power of someone who looks to the future instead of looking down when i was asked to translate well i could do was say yes and get behind her but it seems reinfeld underestimated the increasing polarization of today's perpetually offended society the announcement quickly
4:24 pm
caused an uproar why because gorman is black and reinbold who is translating her is white and as we know in 2021 that is just simply unacceptable naturally the mounting criticisms led brian veld serve reject the assignment completely i'm shocked by the opera around mine volume and in the dissemination of amanda garments message and i understand people who feel hurt by the choice so yet again the fragile her always offended at what they wanted and turned a message about unity and peace into yet another racial and identity politics scandal and apparently from now on everything should just be segregated based on superficial features like race gender or skin color etc and if you're white and not waving the flag of surrender which is also white then you just might be
4:25 pm
a racist. ok let's bring you to south america were long term of government protests show no sign of letting up in chile. in the city of protesters that police are full with water cannon a number of demonstrators were detained the country has been rocked by unrest since late 29. demanding the president's resignation as well as economic reforms and the release of the protestors. plume of ash towering around 5 kilometers into the sky was visible from far and wide this week in one of the largest indonesian islands it followed the eruption of. local villages in case in the thick blanket of which locals are still struggling to clear away. and here's
4:26 pm
