the e.u. chief. with just 10. months of the kremlin brown's fresh u.s. claims of. this time to supposedly discredit american scenes in favor of russian shots. on switzerland but. it is drawing criticism from communities. up for debate. and.

why have you chosen to come to switzerland knowing very well christian country which even wears the. headlines for this hour on live from moscow welcome to the program this is the international. head of the european commission says that she is a scapegoat for the book's quote extremely slow inoculation and laid the blame on. well the e.u. commission are not happy at all with vaccine manufacture astra zeneca care it's got to do with deliveries 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 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. 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 to 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 draw from it even when you have vaccines there's still problems in austria they've suspended the use of one of the astra zeneca. job 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 vaccines into the country though there is one of the 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 us. and still to come here when our international staying with vaccines the kremlin dismisses u.s. claims of short distance from asian as nonsense as washington accuses russian websites of spreading lines we'll get to more on that in just a bit here on the program. for the meantime switzerland's voted to ban face coverings such as the burqa and niqab in public places the referendum promoted by the right wing people's party was held at the weekend but it passed by

wafer thin margin with just 51 percent voting for the ban and there are several exemptions to the new rule allowing face coverings for security whether health reasons the ban proposal didn't mention islam directly official saying it was to stop rioters from wearing masks however a top islamic groups already calling 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 would like to someone to force me to tell or else take put on this way i have because i. know we have religious freedom we have freedom of expression you can say we have freedom and then not give it. being free he's been able to show our face respect and 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. i said no to this initiative because feminist ideas are being used for something which on the contrary obstructs liberty of choice this is also borderline center for big so this goes against my veil your skirts was there also i think of switzerland some other european countries already have full or partial bans on veils in public places including the likes of belgium and austria the 1st who introduced a move some 10 years ago was france which child since repeatedly fallen under a wave of criticism for violating personal liberties well earlier we discussed the potential impact of this new law. 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 us out of the society and to divide the citizens between the 2 but if one does who don't believe if we imagine that 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 that 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 up. and not with. that don't exist.

dave called for a lot of people also in the villages of switzerland they are actually they read the news and they know what is going on in other parts of the world 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 tearing this. very very close to. that market it's not low to look at fuel to the people or to you lose their. freedom switzerland is the country of the deal that you have 3 and.

and they feel very free but i don't like to be. first stage of the people who are extrem whatever radicalized from predation already get it from. where you can live your 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 this 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 and more. it's good for diversity is a richness you are making middle of the mind at the moment but that is the. accusations by prince harry's wife meghan markle against britain's royals are

certainly dominating world headlines at the moment however as artie's and erin reports they've also had the effect of masking wider questions about the queen and her family. while you're worrying about home schooling how to pay your mortgage and how to survive in the 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 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 haunts for magen as 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 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 that's right government memos found in the national archives revealed that the queen's private lawyer pressured ministers to alter the 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 andrew who allegedly even lobbied the u.s.

government on behalf of paedophile jeffrey 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 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 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 the 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 disinformation about us shots as nonsense it's after the state department reported on 4 russian websites supposedly trying to discredit the fires and modernity jobs in favor of sputnik v. tes saskia telling reports. the world changed big time over the last year but some things stay the same remember russian 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 oh vaccine war because well hackings

a bit passe in electing foreign presidents is a bit wild being that not vaccines are where it's at 2021 and when it became clear that american scientists might now vaccine the russian ones the kremlin bolts had no choice but to raise that disinform in heads again the emphasis on denigration 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

freezers 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 like iran which on 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 disinform ation for the sake of

a few critical articles well 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 a concern for some health professionals it's a new kind of global race that russia wants to lead there are concerns about its 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 the block started the approval process now 5 in the us who obviously love healthy competition in a way that twitter loves polar bore trump loves 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 arrived from russia we need vaccination as fast as possible under valving more people so. yes the pandemic might have changed the wild but something enough to change madness disinfo mation back in the game did you miss them. mark exactly a year since italy became the 1st e.u. state to bring in a nationwide lockdown on the program we assess how the block has handled the disease it's coming your way after a very short break. when

almost chokes seemed wrong. just don't call. me. yet to see how it just did become active. and engaged because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. thinks . we dare to ask.

20 past here to moscow good to have you with us today italy is past 100000 deaths is it now marks now one year of national lockdowns a correspondent shot a dubious good looks at a. growing frustration across europe i don't many see as a botched response to the virus it because it's a sign a decree that we can describe it say at home we've got the flu like of a pen the life changed for ever more than 60000000 people placed into lockdown as a major sea measures were taken to try and stop covert 19 from spreading.

or. she wouldn't at all 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 seems from hospitals could have been pulled from horror movies as medical stuff desperately trying to cope with

a virus that no one knew how to battle italy may have been the 1st epicenter in europe but soon cause it was everywhere one by one countries closed their borders the shops schools parks measures were brought in at 1st it was simple things like being told essentially distance to water hurdles but slowly these became more and more draconian. you know if. you believe. the. isolation and anger managed his government in the finest changed direction like the wind across the continent citizens have demanded freedoms.

we were very scared because we saw really worrying images especially in the news so we thought it was right to do the lockdown 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 ingolf so governments but 12 months old there was no sign of abating parts of italy back it looked down here in france as 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 are isolated at home everything is 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 i.

see. but trust. for the rest made didn't even know in a time of the day it's just a. normal. nation be just more than that and more than. people. think if. they want some of this is unwritten 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 and to some other news around the world here now on. international women's day has been mocked by protests around the globe calling for equality and then. violence

police fired water cannon in the chilean capitol to disperse protesters attacking and hurling projectiles at law enforcement trucks and elsewhere in latin america. similar rallies in the mexican capital also violence thousands came out against a reported 120 percent increase in gender related crimes including killings of women in the last 5 officers fired tear gas has used hammers and wooden poles to bring down fencing right around the national palace. and hundreds. gathered in warsaw against poland's total ban on abortion the ban took effect just over a month ago demonstrators are. now in a bid to reverse the move. now
