that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. in our review of the week here on r.t.c. care becomes the latest a new country to get russia the vaccine the block struggles to get its own vaccination program off the ground. now plans to complete a trick of homegrown vaccines the latest call back is expected to be launched later this month we speak to the head of the institute behind. we do not have to prove the prestige of our institution in the products that makes the institute was 60 years old and it's connected to the victory over polio with yellow fever and we deliver drugs from these diseases abroad so we don't need any promotion also to come thousands of women in the british army suffer harassment and abuse from within their own ranks that's according to testimony been heard by

parliament. where. it could be treated. like simply a mistake make saudi women feel like she's to blame. the end of nations being bombed into democracy ministration says no more u.s. backed regime change we ask whether it's mind guy. follow the latest developments and look back at the last 7 days to watch the weekly here on r.t. international. here has become the latest e.u. country to get russia's vaccine follows. to get the jab as europe same banks and nation program begins to falter there are also signs that other countries could join them too with the czech republic saying this week it was considering doing the

same with more now on the story but i spoke with neil harvey. 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 sputnik so 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 is 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 has come out she paid lip service to people's lives but all of it because 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 ponens 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 vaccines by themselves will. handler so we'll get you the vaccines but then of 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 of 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 further 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 sorry it apologizing to 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 they're now saying that perhaps perhaps we'll try to speed up the whole bureaucratic process that has caused all of this and get you emergency approval for vaccines now it could be an emergency authorization of vaccines that you level we shared liability among member states remember in the early days of the pandemic when countries all over the world made. good neighbors put up supplies from each other so we're talking about masks ventilators we all remember the diplomatic crises that that caused this 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 or russia will soon have a hat trick of vaccines in its arsenal against the pandemic in addition to sputnik and at the back the country expects to launch kovacs later this month. dan of spoke with the head of the center behind the show. when you were pulled out of a can you explain what makes the kovi vacuum different uses an activated virus and what does that actually mean them. in the can 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 that that you mock of center are based on this method a significant number of our vaccines form part of the russian national vaccination

calendar that we've been causing a lot of the book that they were how long did it take to develop the vaccine how did you test it with we don't know. 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 timeframe there are other technologies involved a key step was extracting the virus as we went to various clinics and took blood samples from sick patients and tested for the presence of the virus and one patient turned out to have a strain that was particularly amenable to our and 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 just so-called in activation process as a result we get an industrial strain of the virus fit for mass production. doesn't he's due for an manufacturers said it was impossible to create an effective vaccine in such a short period of time but then the lancet magazine published put the police

efficacy data and many more people wanted to buy our faxing but you know you convinced the west that your vaccine is as effective a board simply relation but you know what's in them you know. but if you 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 then we deliver drugs for these diseases abroad so we don't need any promotion the pandemic is. something akin to a state of war so all our resources have been redirected towards launching the vaccine into civilian circulation the project is not about convincing anyone everything we do meets the requirements of the world health organization with which we have close cooperation with the state has the task of solving the civil circulation issue and of doing the promotion of the 1st challenge is to obtain the product to get it out there your global your move not just over one year ago the 1st case of corona virus was detected in a russian citizen and a lot has happened since then with the restrictions being lifted in moscow this

week although 10000 cases a day still being recorded across the country so here's a look back then it had the last 12 months in russia has unfolded. 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 in a position and it starts going wrong that's when and where you are vulnerable because when the problem really starts 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 voting and harassment to serious sexual assault when it gets to make a complaint often to appear to treat somebody here simply amos and makes out women feel like she's just lame like she was asking for each everywhere else in the welsh military sexual trauma is rhetoric 9 in years didn't tell us that parents

should be able to identify that the subject traumatic puts a name to it and people can access help in this couldn't really it just wouldn't recognize 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 sexual violence cases were heard at military court martials just 10 percent resulted in conviction many of course fail to even reach this stage.

you. know 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 a lot of the women now wait wait here to teach me a service company or to drop all. criminal action in the field i try to out the investigation at the school was stunned existant so i think if the investigation was you know i civilian chiefs i think the women which feel more support i mean on the system you know or do you know being the worst brought stories to change their evidence and to generally be. almost

gaslighted to draw a story and not take it all but while women on the frontline fight to protect their country it seems like their country is failing to protect fan shot at woodstock r.t. . still ahead on the eve of social media platforms continued a crusade against donald trump is he to take a stand his 1st major post-presidential speech we'll have a look at the details just after this break. so there are 3 big events and in more than a few story which could not be predicted because there were ridiculous the prospects for because it was world war one because nobody really can see that what would happen if you deployed us old and machine guns on so i could call them

machine guns because this was always done against school warriors for the sudanese bribes my. friends your delusion no serious french politician would could ever ever accepted that somebody will likely be yeah he becomes leader of the country and will deplete it was incomparable going to collapse of soviet union because again you know sold out it was income durable even called. disorders themselves. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

washington has said they will no longer carry out military interventions abroad some are questioning its new commitment given america's long record of backing coups and joe biden supporting the bombing if you can kind of mop in assesses night this switch in foreign policy announced by the secretary of state we will incentivize democratic behavior but we will not promote democracy through costly military interventions or by attempting to overthrow off 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 and 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. the 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 the. this will simply be a changing of rhetoric 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 but on the brink and is also about ripping to the bidens america's banks like good and some a skeptical to a back to what exactly that means.

it was. with. the with the. america is back. this week it was his 1st major comeback speech since to passing the white house but just hours after donald trump took to the stage the former american president had fallen foul of you cheap senses the platform deleted his speech on

a number of news organizations sites including reuters a.b.c. and citing a lack of content warnings with her take his party boy. so donald trump was back giving his big return speech at the packed 2021 once the conservative political action conference for the uninitiated and it attracts a brick to walls but. if i would show you some more of the highlights but it's not bad easy because they are i would like you to be able to watch my video on you tube which is hard to say at censoring the 45th president but nobody likes live ok let's try and get one more quick clear content warning this video contains an orange man saying things which may not be 100 percent correct and worship her due respect.

you see our t.v.'s streamed to tom's 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 and 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 bet they weren't threatened with removal from the point hall so the folly is clear because for example i can still watch the trump video on the independence youtube channel actually as you know the 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 was democratically elected by

millions of people. and they're targeting russian channels for specifically allowing people to speak freely and that's all getting all 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. polly boyko there were legal and media and this line 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 in nature that they're almost like utilities today imagine if you're on the phone almost and 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 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 this is 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 the i think about anything in fear of losing their beloved you to go facebook or whatever so they know exactly what they're doing the. friends family and neighbors no one should be off the snooping radar when it comes to those who break covert rules at least that's according to new zealand's prime minister but has in forming become yet another symptom of the pandemic his thinking at. 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 the members of the team of 5000000 to let the rest of us down and it seems it's a proven practice remember last year when the shit number of do good snitching on their neighbors was so overwhelming it crashed a police website we've had 4200 reports of people believing compline again it shows. 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 encourages 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 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 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 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 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 code 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 here and that will be back with more stories from the weekly in about half an hour.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in his own office clearly dramatic development the only place really going to exist are those 3 hours that strategy will be successful in a very critical time to sit down and talk. all . by her.

own welcome to all the hard gore which one of the most recognizable politicians of the 20th century has celebrated his 90th these past week and while his legacy still remains the subject of hot ideological debates it's his brainchild. was unstudied more carefully by social scientists what happens to a system when it reaches its structural limits this question is just distressing for capitalism today as it was for socialism some 40 years ago kennedy experience of the soviet collapse all for any still they share with the british sitting at the seams capitalist system well to discuss that i'm now joined by a. professor of social research and public policy at new york university abu dhabi and call author of das capitalism have a future professor that will again it's good to talk to you thank you very much for your time.
