to join us in the depths. or remake of the shallows. you tube sensors in our t.v. donald trump's 1st post-presidential speech citing a lack of content warnings although the same footage remains on the other media platforms on the play. taking a shot on russia's covert vaccine slovakia becomes the 39th nation to order supplies of sputnik it's also the 2nd e.u. member to approve the shot and it comes as the bloc itself struggles with vaccine shortages. keeping an eye on friends and family new zealand says no one should be off limits when it comes to informing coded rule breakers.
7:01 pm
wherever you are whatever you are whoever you are you're watching our international i'm down the corridor with you here in the studio welcome. now you tube has deleted in our t.v. video of donald trump's 1st post-presidential speech citing a lack of content warnings however the exact same footage still remains on the other you tube pages earlier my colleague you know neil discussed the removal with r t senior correspondent more i guess you. 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 and this is what is called caused quite a stir. in the media he again said that the elections befalls of either the there
7:02 pm
was a little fraud something that is disputed something where 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 is saying in this speech which you know there was no comment offered by us that it's all you know i think basically 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 a constant warnings provided the reduce contain trumps full speech about the us 2028 presidential election our fellows up on the internet department they went and looked for the same video on other platforms like reuters a.b.c.
7:03 pm
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 total trump speech and it's still up there's no she drags there's new deletion is no warnings there's no other way to call it censorship is the you know it's selectively applying rules to only specific channels then the. sputnik that is censorship for example last year up a. noms a documentary about the violent protests in the united in the united states and they were violent weren't there on both sides both. of the far right protests staged across america they they often turned violent and there was a nazi documentary up in arms so they interviewed activists they interviewed more conservative activists and you tube came out and struck a warning that this is frightening potentially frightening shocking content and basically what that means is people have to log in to you tube they have to be very
7:04 pm
1000 years old and it drastically lose the number of views you can potentially get now this documentary used footage widely available everywhere else short all over the place of the 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 label you know a block there was nothing it was only applied to r t then you had another documentary about isis the post published in 2016 last year it was suddenly struck with a warning 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
7:05 pm
bad things you can find adam will cruelty videos you can find violence but a documentary about the horrors of isis is now shocking 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 severe could cases that was struck down by you tube because it apparently violated the disinfo mission rules so our p. . will the appeal was struck down again there's a chain of these incidents there's a pattern where he will 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. you know it's certainly a worrying but i suppose our legal department will be filing notices our guests legal and media analyst lionel and former pennsylvania senator bruce marks
7:06 pm
say the policy smacks of double standards. google and you tube and other other platforms like this are of such in the main nature that they're almost like utilities today imagine if you're on the phone almost on your phone drops because you dared mention hydroxy couric when or said something in favor of donald trump you wouldn't have it and if the utility said well maybe you should start your own phone company he would say that's ridiculous so it's time for us to recalibrate and redefine what these platforms are it's it's and saying these agencies these platforms are if you will agencies or instruments of whatever the shadow government the ruling class the deep state i don't know but you're being used as trenching devices to punish people to get online and people love these platforms so much that they will not talk about or think about anything in fear of losing their beloved
7:07 pm
you tube or facebook or whatever actually know exactly what they're doing there's no doubt that there's a double standard and they can kill 2 birds or even more than 2 birds with one stone you tube is been biased and again those who control it against against president trump. you know that which was obviously obviously against r.t.d. it what's ludicrous is nobody was telling you to take down all the false statements that adam schiff and nancy pelosi and chuck schumer made about the russia hoax investigation i mean if there's anything that has been demonstrated to be absolutely untrue over the last 4 years is that donald trump didn't conspire with russia to win the 2016 election and wears you to taking down you know videos that have to do with the infamous steal you know gossip it was just made up absolutely scandalous allegations about donald trump and his hotel room at the ritz carlton in
7:08 pm
moscow but there is a liberal organization structure in america that wants to suffocate free speech and sadly enough you tube and facebook and twitter are part of it. in other news 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 v. and it comes as the blocks vaccine shortages continue to mount charlotta been ski has more now on europe's struggling inoculation campaign. 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 it's made an order of around $2000000.00 doses it is the 2nd e.u. nation to do that how green is already in new york elating its citizens with the
7:09 pm
sputnik the vaccine and 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 by meeting the deadlines promised supplies russia will prove that it's a stable partner we can rely on in these hard times since the coded $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
7:10 pm
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 law but something that's actually to do with russia the natives it seems that this will cause. such actions recently with some actors in particular once again christian. trying to discredit. that sector is why. all using. race to gain geopolitical. however it's clear that it's the e.u. zone countries that have been questioning the efficacy or vaccines that they may has approved let's take the astra zeneca vaccine for example now both france and
7:11 pm
germany raised questions about this vaccine president of france describing it as being quasi effective for the over 60 five's germany didn't recommend that it was given to the 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 the approval by a while to move to the problems that the e.u. 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
7:12 pm
a good comparison i think she spoke of the catch up effect you probably all remember what ketchup bottle so used to be like what often took a long time before anything came out and then all of a sudden the whole torrent came out and it was 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 have to at this point go it alone. russia now has a 3rd vaccine in its arsenal against the pandemic is expected to enter the market later this month and we spoke with the center director behind it. when you put out of them can you explain what makes the kovi vaca vaccine different and uses a deactivated virus but what does that actually me. was when. we used a process called in activation which basically means killing the virus vaccines
7:13 pm
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 at the 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 about how long did it take to develop the vaccine how did you test it with what you know where i'm of the know it took almost a year and that's 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
7:14 pm
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 vaccine how will you convince the west that your vaccine is as effective. as not to because it would but if we do 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
7:15 pm
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. it was on march 1st of last year that the 1st coronavirus case was found in a russian national let's take a brief look now at how the following 12 months unfolded.
7:16 pm
friends family neighbors no one should be off the snooping radar when it comes to covert rule breakers at least according to new zealand's prime minister but has in forming become yet another symptom of the pandemic mccarran takes up the story and made the many look downs thousands of face masks and gallons of hand sanitizer a 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 real break because 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. comenius of the team of $5000000.00 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

7:21 pm
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 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 to 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 or doing it is a power play it's called weight fragility and it is power play the president of the college dismissed the claims of a racially hostile environment as baseless but in her resignation letter jodie shaw said the climate at the college shifted dramatically following an incident in 2018 . her purse.
7:22 pm
you don't get her going to you oh i was eating lunch i'm working the summer program so realizing how many calories. is like john is that like this happens way too often where people just like him and. he it is. despite the outcome of the 2018 investigation jodi believes the probe simply stoked racial tensions at the school college is very invested in talking about race in
7:23 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 races 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 could 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. dutch poet has pullout pulled out of translating a poem by an african american author after criticism that
7:24 pm
a black translator wasn't picked for the job to me explores whether or not 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
7:25 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 bell to reject the assignment completely i'm shocked by the opera around mindful of meant 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 god 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 a racist. and shill
