in our review of the week here on r.t. for becomes the latest country to get russia make the vaccine that is the proper struggles to get its a vaccination program off the ground. plans to complete a hat trick of homegrown vaccines latest jab called is expected to be launched later this month we speak to the head of the institute behind. me 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 in yellow fever and we deliver drugs for these diseases abroad so we don't need any promotion. to come thousands of women in the british army suffer harassment and abuse from within their own ranks that's according to testimony being heard by

parliament where a complete. woman feels like she's to blame like she was. the end of nations being bombed into democracy biden's ministrations says no more u.s. backed regime change although we asked whether i would have it might die. but i welcome the latest developments in a look back at the last 7 days you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international. here has become the latest country to get russia the vaccine and follows hungary's decision to get the job as europe's own vaccination program begins to for water resources science to the others could join them with the czech

republic saying this week it was considering doing the same with more on the story spoke with a hard. to the 3 european nations that have a green light to dispute it despite the european medicines agency taking its time really taking its time to approve sputniks of these 3 nations have already sidelined the european union and of the said look the situation is incredibly desperate to the czech republic hungry and now slovakia's which received its 1st batch. vaccines there's going to be millions more that are going to be delivered by summer so the problem is obviously very happy that he's managed to secure more vaccines for the people nevertheless there is now a scandal there's a scandal because the president of slovakia's has come out she paid lip service to people's lives but all directly she said that vaccination shouldn't be carried out at the expense of political stability of course saving lives goes beyond any political controversy but even exceptional actions can be taken in such

a way so as not to destroy the ruling coalition humiliate opponents a question people's confidence in vaccinations and cause further conflict in society it is remarkable coming out in front of your people in the middle of a pandemic and telling them you know your health is important but what is even more important is the stability of the ruling coalition you know it just goes to highlight that the deep divisions in europe and there are incredibly deep divisions in europe over the way the pandemic vaccination in the rule out of the vaccines has been handled it isn't the russian vaccine that is undermining people's faith in the european union it is their handling of this crisis in germany for example 51 percent of people asked in a recent poll whether vaccination has been handled well or badly by the european union 51 percent more than half of germans have said it's been shambles so initially the european union came out and said look let's let's all do it together

so give up your power new nation needs to buy themselves will. handler so will get you the vaccines and what ultimately happened is they bungled it 1st they were too expensive then they were too late because the united states britain snatched up all the vaccines look at the statistics only 5 percent of europeans have been able to get a single job that is compared to 30 percent in the united kingdom so europe is lagging far far behind that european nations understand that this is a catastrophe the huge number of levels of a political level or the health care level and ultimately what has happened is that all these nations have said look we're going to do this ourselves obviously the european agencies the euro kratz they have fumbled this so we'll have that ourselves you have poland running to the chinese with hands outstretched begging for that scene quotas you have austria going out and saying that you know we're

going to now cooperate with israel to develop a 2nd generation vaccines denmark as well saying that will work with israel and 2nd generations vaccine to target all the strains and all that and ultimately the austrian chancellor so this is a leader of a european nation coming out and saying they've lost hoop in europe the way that europe handles vaccine rollouts we must prepare for the mutations and should no longer be depended soley on the e.u. in the production of 2nd generation vaccines look brussels understands that what has happened has been a catastrophe you have officials the european union coming out and say we're sort of colleges into citizens all over europe for the way they've handled things but saying that you know it isn't it is a do over yet we can still recover we'll get you all vaccines there's no need to run around and make shady deals and you know buy up vaccines that were supposed to be received by other european nations you have a situation where it's

a free for all now nevertheless the europeans assure that they can fix things. and then out saying that perhaps perhaps we'll try to speed up the whole bureaucratic process that has caused all of this and get you a merge and see approval for vaccines now it could be an emergency authorization of vaccines that you level was shared liability among member states remember in the early days of the pad them in what countries all over the world and nato are good neighbors bought up supplies from each other so we're talking about mosques ventilators we all remember the diplomatic crises that that caused the situation now is remarkably similar so there is no united front what you can get your hands on you get your hands on and this is a situation that obviously isn't optimal for europe in these difficult times especially economically politically all over the world nevertheless european

bureaucrats are giving up hope they believe that they can still fix things the problem is of course that member states don't believe that they can. while russia will soon have a hat trick of vaccines in its arsenal against the pandemic in addition to spending 3 and epping that the country expects to launch kovacs later this month was done of spoke with the head of the center behind the shot when you were pulled out of the can you explain what makes the kovi vaca vaccine different uses a deactivated virus but what does that actually me. in the queue work 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 approach that we've been developing for many years all of the vaccines out there to mark of center are based on this method a significant number of our vaccines form part of the russian national vaccination

calendar school causing a lot of that are they were how long did it take to develop the vaccine how did you test it. but 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 time frame 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 which from the give you go across the sky 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 want to buy our faxing how will you convince the west that your vaccine is as effective with. you 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 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. now just over one year ago the 1st case of corona virus was detected in a russian citizen a lot has happened since then with further restrictions being lifted in moscow this

week although 10000 cases a day are still being recorded across the country so here's a look back then at how the last 12 months in russia has unfolded. in other news this week bullying harassment and sexual abuse this is what thousands of women have been subjected to in the british army according to testimonies given

to a parliamentary committee. very hostile environment. you do find themselves new position and it starts going wrong that's where and when you are vulnerable it is when the problems really start women are paying an unnecessarily high price for serving join the army be the best it's the height of serving your country but it turns out some women are facing horrific battles of their own imagine $4000.00 people a brigade that can be deployed anywhere without very same number of women both surfing and veterans have now come forward with shocking experiences in the army from bullying and harassment to serious sexual assault when it's to meet a complaint often to appear to treat somebody here simply a must and makes out woman feel like she's just lame like she was asking for each everywhere else in the world military sexual trauma is recognized in yeast and just helps that brains to be able to identify that the subject traumatic. people can

access help in this country it just isn't recognized sexual trauma the issue has long been swept under the carpet among the ranks according to the ministry of defense figures in the 5 years to 2019 almost $130.00 sexual violence cases were heard at military court martials just 10 percent resulted in conviction many of course fail to even reach this stage.

the number is increasing year on year with the majority of alleged sexual predators still among the ranks according to women's testimonies within the current military system it is extremely hard to report a sexual crime and receive support help and justice that women wait wait here to teach me a service company or to drop. is criminal action in the field i trust you and the investigation at the school was done except student so i think the investigation was ice really and cheese i think that women which feel more support i mean on the system you're reporting you have been the worst brought stories to change their evidence and to generally be. almost

gaslighted to draw a story and not take it forward but while women on the frontline fight to protect their country it seems like their country is failing to protect than shot at woodstock r.t. . so to come on the weekly social media platforms continue their crusade against donald trump a huge who takes down his 1st major post-presidential speech we'll have the details in a couple of minutes. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on it's clearly a dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

washington has said it will no longer carry out military interventions abroad but some are questioning its new commitment given america's long record of backing

caves and joe biden supporting nighties bombing if you can slavia kill him off and assesses ny this switch in foreign policy and then spy the secretary of state we will incentivize democratic behavior but we will not promote democracy through costly military interventions or by attempting to overthrow authours very regimes by force we've tried these tactics in the past. however well intentioned they haven't worked quite an interesting use of words but the pattern from the united states of intervening in the affairs of other countries destabilizing and overthrowing governments around the world is quite well known one looks at the history of iraq of libya afghanistan one looks throughout south and central america one can see many examples of the united states intervening in other countries affairs destabilizing and overthrowing governments in fact in recent years we've heard many calls from u.s. leaders for governments around the world to be overthrown and for leaders to step

down assad needs to go we will continue to work with our partners in the international community to press. to leave the time has come for nicholas murderer to go what's interesting is that we actually had a tweet from anthony blinken in which she gave full support to one kwaito one grade 0 is an individual in venezuela who has proclaimed himself to be the president and has been engaging in violent attempts to destabilize venezuela to overthrow the elected government there of even been u.s. military contractors that have been involved in those military coup attempts so having anthony blinken you know you know voicing support for one great oh the unelected individual who claims to be venezuela's leader kind of flies in the face of his claim that the united states won't be using force now if there was one loophole you could say in anthony blinken remarks he did create a pretext in which the united states would be continuing to use force against

governments of course we will never hesitate to use force when american lives and vital interests are at stake now what exactly would constitute such a threat he did not lay out any specific criteria so it seems that though the united states through its new secretary of state is announcing that no more force will be used many wonder if this will simply be a changing of red. it looks like the united states will most likely be continuing its foreign policy activities but only time will tell he did leave that huge loophole where he said vital interests vital interests can mean almost anything mars the moon you name it it could be a vital interest to america if a politician wants to say that's the case it seems like rhetoric you know trump certainly had his own style that was very bombastic and out there and other presidents have been more reserved in their or in their description of activities but when you look at the actual policies we've seen no change and i think it sounds

like rhetoric not something that we can count on yet you know president trying started a trade war with china and now president biden's talking about well we're going to cooperate with other countries but we're also going to have trade agreements that protect our workers and do this and that which in the end probably means the exact same policies as a national trade war biden i see him rebranding a lot of the same old thing. is it will say repeat biden's america is back slogan although some skeptics will tell you about what exactly that means.

america is back. this week it was his 1st major comeback speech since departing the white house but just hours after dawn trump took to the stage the former american president had for him file of he cheap senses a platform deleted his speech on a number of news organizations sites including reuters a.b.c.

and also the citing a lack of content warnings with her take his policy. sir donald trump was back giving his big return speech at the impact 2021 that's the conservative political action conference for the uninitiated and it attracts a break through walls but. if i would show you some more of the highlights but it's not bad easy because our i would like you to be able to watch my video on you tube which is hard to say at the censoring the 45th president but nobody likes live ok let's try and get one more quick clip in content warning this video contains an orange man saying things which may not be 100 percent correct and worship or do restraint. you see our t.v.'s dream to thomas return live on and convert free to say whatever

he wants in the tradition of freedom of speech only for you tube to take it down and threaten r.t. with a content strike and deletion from the platform for violating its spam deceptive practices and spams policy hey you tube if you're going to delete every videos for scams and deceptive practices you know basically going to be left with one video this one. you tube responded to queries by saying more details aren't explanatory information must be provided essentially you to pate the fact that trump still uses every opportunity to claim that he didn't lose the election but what's interesting about you tube's policy is that the censors 1st port of call was r.t.

r t s german channel and another russian channel called sputnik it took our. before they got to the likes of reuters and the associated press and even then i read they weren't threatened with removal from the platform so the folly is clear because for example i can still watch the trump video on the independence youtube channel actually as you know they just watch the word house but it's one of those which is our environment and so watch out there while you still can but social media platforms which are always trying to get out of trouble by saying that they are publishers they just provide an outlet are openly censoring political content and deleting access to a former president who despite what any of us may say more was democratically elected by millions of people. and that targeting russian channels for specifically allowing people to speak freely and

that are going on the news outlets are simply reporting the news and yet i can still watch things like this. it's political censorship that's all it is. illegal media and this law in no has concerns too that you tube is actively trying to silence political opponents google and you tube and other other platforms like this are of such in the main nature that you're almost like you chill ities imagine if you're on the phone over saying your phone drops because you dared mention hydroxy chloroquine 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 you would say that's ridiculous so it's time for us to recalibrate and redefine what these platforms are they're not they're not the union platform this is you tube

international it's more than that and these distinctions have to change and what it is is. 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 clenching devices to punish people to get in line and people love these platforms so much that they will not talk about or think about anything in fear of losing their beloved you too were facebook or whatever actually know exactly what you're doing. now friends family and neighbors no one should be off the snooping radar when it comes to those who break rules at least according to new zealand's prime minister but as informing become yet another symptom of the pandemic his nicaea amidst the many lockdowns thousands of face masks and gallons of hand sanitizer coverage is 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 or your dear old grandma even with a full understanding of human fallibility it is not appropriate and it is not ok a members of the team of 5000000 to meet the rest of us down and it seems it's a proven practice remember last year when the sheer number of do good snitching on their neighbors was thorough of a well made 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 this into

a world of information is the key to compliance leaders across the globe competed for the most creative ways to encourage as though 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 government 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 believe you 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

school you'd think the public might have been appalled by those measures but the enthusiasm was so overwhelming that some police stations of the u.k. were receiving so many calls that they had to create a separate special hotline for the whole 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 code itself coughs it's lost in the pandemic finally it blows over the curtain twitchers will just be left nervously twitching hoping to once again be friends and not enemies. just. good to have you company but back again at the top you.

join me every. time i'm sure i'll be speaking to us. i'm sure i'll see you then. some control for a middle class type of a night muslim are very hardworking people who want to get ahead that either have some some health issues or have some of it had a streak of bad luck the whole time joel bloom told me he's paying for a place to live and missing just a month's rent can get you a victim to gunpoint if anything bad happens to any thing that just throws your budget off slightly. you better catch up real quick or you're going to have a judgment of possession against you and get addicted anyone that's homeless is treated like garbage people look at you like a monster or someone bad or you chose to be their country.
