i guess is up here you have a boom you have everything else that comes along with money. in the headlines this 9th of march the e.u. chief shifts the blame to astra zeneca for block supply failures with just 10 percent of orders delivered. the news nonsense is how the kremlin brands fresh u.s. claims of moscow meddling this time supposedly discredit american vaccines in favor of russian shots. across this to switzerland becomes the latest state in europe to ban face coverings such as the burka republic drawing criticism from muslim communities we put it up for debate. and they feel very free. like the. people who are experienced why have you chosen to come to switzerland knowing very well that it's
5:01 am
a christian country which even wears the cross in this flag. there today from moscow this tuesday watching out international with me kevin now in 30 minutes of our latest for you if you can stay with me then 1st the news is the head of the european commission says she's been made a scapegoat in her view for the blocks extremely slow inoculation rate and laid the blame squarely on vaccine maker astra zeneca as our europe correspondent peter all of. well the e.u. commission are not happy at all with vaccine manufacture astra zeneca care it's got to do with delivery of the jobs to the e.u. as a bloc they were told that for the 1st quarter of 2021 they'd receive 100000000 doses they have received 10000000 doses even i can do the mathematics there 90 percent is
5:02 am
the shortfall the e.u. commission has come in for a lot of criticism over failures in logistics and planning in its vaccine program underlying the e.u. commission president though is saying that astra zeneca needs to bear some of the responsibility as well we see esther's any case delivering below 10 percent of what had been contracted for the 1st quarter we are tired of being the scapegoat the european commission president did say that we could see repeats of vaccines being blocked from leaving the european union we saw this last week when italy stopped a shipment of around 250000 doses of the astra zeneca job for heading to australia the australian trade minister called that vaccine protectionism what we don't want to see is a repeat of the well scramble we saw for resources at the beginning of the pandemic where everybody was trying to outbid everybody else when it came to masks and p.p.
5:03 am
and everything else on the line though has said yes there have been problems with the way the vaccine program is being rolled out there's been problems with the way the e.u. commission has handled things we aren't clear we want to be in combat in the virus we were late in granting authorization we were too optimistic about mass production and maybe we also took for granted that the doses orders would actually arrive on time we must ask ourselves why and what lessons we can to learn from it even when you have vaccines there's still problems in austria they've suspended the use of one of the astra zeneca john. after one woman died and another person was taken seriously ill after they received it it's until a full investigation can be carried out as it stands at the moment they say there is no direct link between them having the vaccination and becoming ill but they want to make sure that that's definitely not the case when it comes to getting the
5:04 am
vaccines into the country though there is one other venue that the european union could be looking at not importing them from the united states but in order to do that they're going to have to convince washington to overturn their own protectionist rules that don't allow vaccines to be exported outside of the u.s. . we're all over there now still to come saying with stories about vaccines and spats the kremlin dismisses u.s. claims of shop dissin from a shit as nonsense as washington accuses russian website sites of spreading lies will tell you more about that in a minute or 2. but away from cove a different story next for in from switzerland switzerland voted to ban face coverings such as the burka nique in public places the referendum promoted by the right wing people's party was held at the weekend it only just got through there with a wafer thin margin 51 percent voting for the ban there are several exemptions to
5:05 am
the new rule allowing face coverings for security for weather and for health reasons the proposal didn't mention islam directly officially saying it was to stop rioters from wearing marks but a top islamic groups already called the vote a dark day for muslims. so this is you know opens old wounds further expose the principle of legal inequality and sends a clear signal of exclusion to the muslim minority this is my life so i wouldn't like to someone to force we seek it out or will he put on this way that obviously they. vote no we have religious freedom we have freedom of expression you can say we have freedom and then not give it it being free he's been able to show our face respect in women's dignity heaven our own identity and therefore i do not understand the discourse of people who want to imprison women behind this veil of the north i said no to this initiative because feminist ideas
5:06 am
are being used for something which on the contrary obstructs liberty of choice this is also borderline center for being so this goes against my avail yourself as well as they also i think of switzerland some other european countries have already got full or partial veils in public places including belgium and austria the 1st to introduce the move 10 years ago now was france which has since repeatedly fall under way the criticism for violating personal liberties we discussed the potential impact of the new law in switzerland. it is always the same it's always the strategy of this extremist party you lost muslims and islam behind you know several laws but when we're not at death it's very very bad for us why they are continuing to use this strategy to put outside of the society and to divide the citizens between those who believe one don't believe if we imagine that
5:07 am
we had a similar referendum in and i-slam a country like in pakistan or like in saudi arabia the question would be would you allow would you like to allow people or women wearing a bikini in public beaches for example i'm pretty sure that 95 percent or even 1009 percent of the people would vote against it we know what is democracy and we're not using emotion on oratory i don't know. a lot of people's vote against but it's there is a lot of it it shifts where people have never seen a woman listening up. with. that don't exist. they've called for. people also in the villages of switzerland they are educated and they read the news and they know what is going on in other parts of the world
5:08 am
and so they have just decided to set those limits to the cultural development of immigrants from muslim background and this is not hostile and also i think you should even consider it something which sets a useful limits to radical islamists and there are some who force their women behind veils we are always hearing. very very close to. that market it's not a low fuel to get people to you lose their. country all of the and deal that you have done and. and they feel very well in this country but i don't like to be. first page of the people who are extrem what if the radical left from religion already get it from. where you can live your
5:09 am
religion freely and the question also is why have you chosen to come to switzerland knowing very well that it's a christian country which even wears the cross in its flag in its national flag so i think you were quite clear about that 3 when you came to switzerland. but i want switzerland more and more. it's good for diversity it's a richness you are making the mind at the moment but that is the. people. well if you think of it a lot of people talking about it today accusations by prince harry's wife meg and mark. against britain's role as a dominating world headlines result is an icky reports next of also may be the effect of my asking why the questions about the queen and her family while you are worrying about home schooling how to pay your mortgage and how to survive in the
5:10 am
far reaching misery of the pandemic the witnesses are at war one royal bombshell after another sprinkled with plenty of commentary to make sure you don't lose perspective and before you even have time to switch your gaze insteps the queen queen oprah that is with the interview of the decade which i know you've watched hans berg for magen is she bravely held back tears when she spoke of how stressful it was to stay up late googling royal protocols and there were no pats on the back for meghan claims that in return she was bullied by the racist royal family to the extent that she contemplated suicide i just didn't want to be alive anymore and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born with hash tag team meghan receiving a die hard following on the former actress becoming an icon of resistance to the racist outdated and downright oppressive royals' see there are reasons the royal
5:11 am
family might be grateful for the destruction to put it this way now nobody's really talking about that little news item about the queen lobbying for a change in law to hide public wealth right government memos found in the national archives revealed that the queen's private lawyer pressured ministers to alter a proposed legislation to prevent her majesty shareholding from being disclosed to the coma this otherwise known as the public just because of the risk of inadvertent discreet leaking to other people but basically because disclosure it's any person would be embarrassing. and what happens all the news stories about prince some group who allegedly even lobbied the u.s. government on behalf of paedophile geoffrey epstein well the newspapers might have moved on the f.b.i. hasn't the department wants to talk to prince andrew that's why the south and
5:12 am
district has been making efforts to communicate with him we have made it clear that we'd like to communicate with him and i can think of one other person who might be relieved to be out of the spotlight the british prime minister with a 1000000 spent on a brand new media briefing room and attempt to attract donor money to finance the $200.00 grand restyle of his official residence it's thanks very much for your hard work and putting your lives at risk and all that and his staff but it's just a one percent pay rise for you so we can afford it so as the queen celebrates unity and her commonwealth day speech and her grandson across the pond pull scorn on the royal family in front of an audience of tens of millions while still claiming he just wants the media to leave him alone is seems that it's business as usual in day old blighty just keep that stiff upper lip turn a blind eye stay calm and think of england. moscow's dismissed claims of spreading this information about us shots as nonsense after the state department
5:13 am
reported on 4 russian websites supposedly trying to discredit the fires of modernity jobs in favor of sputnik the. reports on it. the world changed big time over the last year but some things stay the same remember russia madelyne as well that our global engagement center has identified 4 russian online platforms that are directed by russian intelligence services and spread disinformation about 2 of the vaccines that have now been approved by the f.d.a. in this country we are aware of it we're monitoring and we are taking steps to address back just in time to wage vaccine war because while hackings a bit passe in electing foreign presidents is a bit well not vaccines are where it's at in 2021 and when it became clear that american scientists might vaccine the russian ones the kremlin bolts had no
5:14 am
choice but to raise that disinform in heads again the emphasis on denigrating pfizer is likely due to stay just as the 1st besides putin could be to see mass use resulting in a greater potential threat to sputniks market dominance who said to global pandemic couldn't be politicized now some would say these madness a bit late to the game i mean sputnik freeze already registered in around 40 countries many of which didn't even consider not because they'd been brainwashed by mean anti flies and notes left by undercover agents but because pfizer is logistically a much trickier vaccine it used to fall apart if it wasn't kept in specialized minus 17 degrees celsius that's now been improved to minus $25.00 while sputnik v chills out to plus 8 and is around hof the price and then there are countries
5:15 am
like iran which own exactly buddy buddy with the us so why buy their proxy when there's another one on the market without the political trauma. not tickle right well unfortunately political games and logic on friends and paranoia is alive and well it's nonsense russian special services have nothing to do with any criticism against vaccines if we treat every negative publication against the sputnik the vaccine as a result of efforts by american special services then we will go crazy because we see it every day every hour and in every anglo-saxon media the wall street journal's resurrected this information for the sake of a few critical articles just imagine what all means over madly as it would have had twin vent if i had got the onslaught of doubt criticism hate that sputnik we got back in the day the speed of the rollout is
5:16 am
a concern for some health professionals it's a new kind of global race that russia wants to lead there are concerns about it safety with questions of how much of it russia can produce now timing is everything the e.u. struggling with this vaccine rollout paid by production delays and shortages ready to help but may be so to block started the approval process now pfizer and the us who obviously love healthy competition in the way that twitter labs pala board trump labs music is probably looking at that and saying a chunk of that money party just fall away never mind that it's for the good of humanity the sputnik vaccine will not go back to russia it will save lives in slovakia i would never give it up our country is a fundamental part of the european union but i cannot turn down a quality vaccine that will save our people because it's made in russia i'm not a murderer you'll hear the good news is that 280000 doses of the vaccine
5:17 am
arrived from russia and we need vaccinations 1st as possible under valving more people so. yes the pandemic might have changed the wild but some things never change madness and this information back in the game did you miss them. disappears soon choose marks exactly a year since it's really became the 1st state to bring down and nationwide look what a lot. we assess more generally how the blogs handled the disease most of the things after the break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the
5:18 am
dares thinks. we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic developments only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
5:19 am
again italy's past 100000 deaths as it marks one year of national law. to do bensky looks next to growing frustration across the broader europe what many see is a boss to response to the virus. it was about to sign a decree that we can describe it said home with the flu like of a pen the life changed for ever more than 60000000 people placed into lockdown as imagine see measures were taken to try and stop it 19 from spreading. you're yeah.
5:20 am
or. he went and i got surely i never experienced or imagined i'd lived through something like that especially in the 1st stages there was uncertainty i didn't know what i was allowed to do or not we did not know the enemy or how to fight it but after a few weeks the whole of italy was united we were very scared because we saw really warring images especially in the news so we thought it was right to do the lockdown as rigorously as possible scenes from hospitals could have been pulled from foreign movies as medical stuff desperately trying to cope with a virus that no one knew how to battle it's only may have been the 1st epicenter in europe it seemed curve it was everywhere one by one countries closed their borders their shops schools parks measures were brought in at 1st it was simple things like
5:21 am
being told essentially distance to wash our hearns but certainly 'd these became more and more draconian. isolation and anger in marriage just governmental advice change direction like the wind across the continent citizens have demanded freedoms. hat. i.
5:22 am
hat. i i i i. i. i. see we're we were very scared because we saw really worrying images especially in the news so we thought it was right to do to look down as rigorously as possible everything the government tells us is the opposite of its contradictory instructions so it's a little bit complicated in the end we don't believe what they tell us. we can't do anything we need a revolution french people don't want to wake up we are like little dogs that are being taken for a walk we cannot live like this anymore that malays has grown even engulfed so governments but 12 months old there was no sign of abating parts of italy back it looked down here in france as
5:23 am
a nationwide curfew during 6 pm and 6 am it's been in place for months while many terms in cities are now also on weekends look down and cases a surge and again. we do not want to lock down it was very difficult financially above all we're suffering we lack work the ability to go out no more restaurants we're isolated at home everything has changed europe has failed i am a dog down and have suffered from the likes of freedom we have completely lost confidence in our government even as vaccines are approved and rolled out across the block there are massive issues trust has been lost. sir we see you. don't wash their hands but trust you for the rest made even more even. in a time of the day just to be. no.
5:24 am
nation. just more than and more than. people. think if. they want some of this is it's a blank canvas and what's gone before us never has to hold us back if we take no. for a moment stakes but is anyone really listening so what do you. see paris . such a shock to a lot of soul searching into the future of what countries got it right or wrong while here compared to other european capitals moscow has enjoyed less strict restrictions along the way city the last 6 months or so at his own time chris spoke to moscow's deputy mayor about the latest in the not kill asian campaign here but wait a minute i guess that was a let's get straight to the main point to vaccinations in march so how is it going
5:25 am
. at the moment it's going very well with what exactly is going so well we have vaccinated more than 700000 people in moscow since the beginning of the campaign this means that approximately 121-5000 are vaccinated every day depending on the day of the week we always have free slots we have made the widest range of possibilities for muscovites in order to choose a vaccination point for everyone out of this total number 300000 are elderly we have vaccinated 93 percent of all nursing home residents within the 1st and the 2nd let's go back than to when it all started where matter year ago when corby was already in moscow how did we 1st understand that the big epidemic would begin in moscow when it was clear from the middle of february last year that it would be not only chinese but the whole world this year despite the fact that we have the longest border with china we were not the 2nd country which was infected our turn was later italy and spain were 1st new york next so we could observe how the
5:26 am
situation might develop we did have a time lag so we can make the best use of this time therefore from the beginning of march we are polite to 1st restrictive measures as it is clear that moscow is a huge hope with a high population density and that we would not be able to ignore the situation which the only question was when and to what extent we would be ready for their arrival of the pandemic can you compare moscow with some metropolis for the better or for the worse. if we take comparable things then it could be new york you can compare us with new york did we do better or worse than new york and i believe we did well enough compared to new york and to chris tricked of measures on time starting lockdown in march we imposed lockdown in march with 1200 cases per day when new york close and 20000 in fact as per day basically it did not make sense because it's not only about introducing a lockdown it's important to make it on time which why did they close why did they
5:27 am
choose the. tactic or almost gone russia's chose a different one yes many countries are doing locked and but the problem is that they did not open during lockdown many european countries have chosen a tactic in which they have been close for a 2nd year and therefore any attempt to open up to reduce restrictive measures was medically leads to an explosive increase in cases we had looked at last year one is playing after that there were no locked as in moscow there have been certain reasonable restrictions but despite the whole of europe from september moscow has lived a full life everything worked everything was open and gradually over these 6 months as i said population immunity was formed a lot of people have already been ill that he said well do you think the 3rd wave will come. when not making predictions for the 1st 2nd and said wave it all understand that today we're ready for any scenario. fingers crossed nothing else
