for a book by a conservative or. a well welcome to you and a very good morning this is r.t. international your friday morning headlines. are precious mounting on the governor of new york andrew cuomo to step down made a growing scandal over cover ups of care home deaths in the pandemic. we've seen so many. so many troubling things that have come out just in a matter of weeks starting with the fact that thousands of people died in the nursing homes and we still don't have the truth about that and their families need and deserve the truth and we know one thing there was a purposeful cover up and that alone is unacceptable and disqualifying the state's health department had initially reported around 8000 fêtes high season care homes

but those who were transported to hospital and died were excluded from the figures something deliberately to make them seem low or if these victims audits the real death toll was almost double reported the victim's relatives questioned the county for their use in a nursing home station in the nursing home for 23. when he if there were at least in theory ended my family he could no longer stand. the nursing home. system was not prepared for any kind of health care emergency and i know my father still encountered it but the governor's attitude of who cares where they die it does matter because it points to one where where there you know errors in their policies and to why they are afraid of having

those numbers revealed. the daughter of a woman who died in a new york care home is demanding not least why such vulnerable places took in people already suffering from the coronavirus. everything i. just. want to know now. you know. a lot of people our whole. thing or not he. was you know only. you know. me you know the earth we're like. oh out. come to me he wanted. to hear.

how he. or i think well you know what if you know how badly she. 'd should be more outraged over. ringback how. the president of the czech republic has called on his government to actually approve russians but the vaccine i'm at the pandemic health crisis and the loss a man wants top officials including the health minister to be sacked for failing to bring it in like to say that the 2 biggest obstacles to delivering sputnik be to the czech republic and the minister of health and also the director of the state institute for drug control there are millions of people abroad are already being vaccinated with these jabs where that russian or chinese than the 2 i spoke of are to blame for the fact that our people will continue to die unnecessarily the only

solution i see is the retirement of both. well he certainly came but young blood and the health minister in prague has said he will wait for the maize approval before allowing sputnik v. to be used in check as long as i'm the health minister i will insist that vaccination in the czech republic is not done with the drug there's not been approved by the european medicines agency but if he was to change his mind there are plenty within the government who would be very keen to see the russian vaccine rolled out across the country i would not seek to devalue the results of russian science just because it comes from russia we have a situation where there are not enough vaccine supplies in europe so the e.u. should have negotiated with other manufacturers including manufacturers from russia a long time ago. well elsewhere with one of the major vaccines that's being used here in europe the astra zeneca job italy and denmark could become the latest

member states to suspend its use there joined by e.u. member states in europe norway and iceland in carrying out this suspension in denmark it follows the death of one person with a blood clot having just received the vaccine because health minister in that country said it's not currently possible to conclude if there is a link he made that announcement as he also announced that there would be a full investigation earlier we saw similar scenes from austria just a week ago or so the european medicines agency ruled what happened in that country had no link to the astra zeneca vaccine being given so these moves of precautionary in nature but certainly serious and worthwhile being looked at and that's why these member states of the e.u. as well as other european nations of of decided to take that decision to suspend

the use of astra zeneca for now. but our correspondent mentioned a number of countries have suspended the use of astra zeneca vaccine of a portion of blood clots and even death but the european medicines agency which is heading an investigation ses those states should continue using the job zation of european medicines agency safety committee. is that the vaccines benefits continue to outweigh its risks and the vaccine can continue to be administered while investigation of cases of flu on bone bullock events is ongoing scientists told us the implications of suspending the astra zeneca shot. i think when you're vaccinating very large numbers of people you've got to recognize that in the general population there are going to be ethics anyway and people suffering diseases all the time and you need to be sure that way any of beds that you see any effects that you see of the vaccine are not simply because your marks 1000

a large group of individuals who have other health conditions and so you have to look at it very very carefully and that's why you need to take a bit of a breather and investigate the possibility that the vaccine is it associated with these effects as far as i can i can tell some of the the e.m.a.'s already looked at this in relation to austria and it's had no no specific links with the vaccine because i've done that study comparing blood clots and other and other effects in the general health healthy populations and i say the normal population versus the banks and to population so you have to look at least things very very carefully is there not a problem with. globetrotting in other countries as well or is this just a one off for example in denmark that's a really important thing to to find out and really anybody with the sort of oversight multi-national oversight like the air may do that the european metal medicines agency has to take the sort of questions and concerns of each member

state into account when it when it gives gives or thora t. i don't think that one can say the a.m.a. is being slipshod or careless you know there there are questions that there are still be slightly different from regulators in the u.k. or in other countries so overall one gets quite a broad picture of the safety of this drug which is what it is. in many different countries. more than 50 performers and employees have turned squatter is occupying 3 of france's 4 national theatre is in a cry for help they were in the industry can no longer survive the pandemic shut down of cultural sites both in the country's health minister to negotiate with them r.t. they shouted to penske visited one of the occupied by nice. i know i was. was.

the chorus of calls demanding the reopening of cultural venue's is growing allow day in france but with no clear end date in sight to the closure of theaters concert hall cinema museums so mother taking more drastic measures over the last week 3 of france's 4 national theatres including this one behind me have been occupied by protesters it is true that every day several times a day we take another place a new theatre a new national stage is occupied in this way with multiply in the case of resistance to make a claim so good so we've all hit by the o.t. now for a week and for that it serves as a place of residence the odeon is a symbolic place it was occupied in the $968.00 process there are already struggles that have been expressed in this place in fact it was the base to signal the alarm

of the cultural catastrophe which is taking place the protesters who set up shop here at the vote in favor to say they won't leave until their demands are met them not knowing the details now we're determined to hold on until we're satisfied we do not claim the reopening at all costs it is not part of our main slogan contrary to what some media made we want things to be reopened with social rights for all and massive plan for culture and above all the total reform of the unemployment insurance and the right to unemployment benefits guaranteed for all. the issue has even reached the government with the cultural minister paying a visit to the squatters. i went to the occupied theater audio on i understand the concerns in particular ball the aftermath of the whites here they know it why objective is to continue to protect artistic employment as much as necessary we will continue our discussions days later though and nothing has changed if the

sector already hit badly by the 1st wave of the covert pandemic with performers taking to the streets to make their plight no thank you thank you. thank you who the earth 6 6. there is going to go to the well small private galleries have been allowed to stay open larger places such as they serve how to remain shut protests to say that it is possible to open up cultural venues and ensure the people remain socially distanced and is in order the louvre museum the also a museum the big museums in paris these a vos places where social distancing would be respected but they are closed. so these are the decisions which are purely political through this there is

a very clear choice of society that emerges what is essential to the market and what is not essential concerns culture it concerns all the things that nourish hope nourish reflection this is what power has in its sights through its political choices fronts it is considered to have one of the most generous support systems of all artists in the world but that system has been strained as a result of covert 19 and many claim that they have fall and through the cracks those his say that this protest is just the start as more and more regions in france will see similar action jollity even ski r.t. paris. to head off an american data privacy firm has questioned whether the personal health information in covert passports can be held kuli the e.u. is among those mulling introducing the documents but rubbish evolve warns they will

lead to discrimination. i've seen the efforts from the european union and the green you know the green initiative and while this idea that they can guarantee. that the data is is safe and anonymized is just wrong it's incorrect and and i think it's a real problem when governments are claiming that just like it's a problem when companies claim that your data is anonymous and will never be lost stolen or act but what we're concerned about is if vaccine data and then mexican data combined with travel data starts to leak out and get going combined with these data broker profiles then anyone can buy any business can buy them any individual can buy them there are available very cheap so for example an insurance company might or might not want to insure a server give us an offer if it's

a certain amount of that if we fall into a certain category based on that data. the company of the person we just heard from held a poll finding less than the hof of americans want to digital health passports are up savella guess says that if they are brought in only essential information should be used. what i believe is a good so who should add to the problem of an opportunity or vaccine of courts is to not use a shared database is western knowledge used digger's is used things that don't replicate our data across every country we travel to or every sports venue if we want to watch a football game having all of this data in it now sounds great and sounds convenient but ultimately there is a lot of risks to our privacy in the future if we keep creating more data especially. a member of the well known band mumford and

sons has quit for mentioning he had read a book criticizing a left wing activist group anti for what his banjo player winston marshall i also had to issue a grovelling apology artie's constantino looks at the growing chorus of criticism for those who question progressive narratives. just think about it you read a book you like it you say publicly no harm done you would hope well that's what winston marshall did he was the banjo player in a british band called mumford and sons and he dared to enjoy the wrong literature over the last few days i've come to better understand the pain caused by the book i endorsed as a result of my actions some taken time away from the bonds to examine my blinds posts so like in the band's hit single they'll just have to wait for him but what was the evil book he read you might ask something so bad it wasn't enough to say

sorry he had to quit the band he'd been playing and for many years was a mind com or an isis manual on how to make bombs and know much worse winston marshall was cold out by social justice worriers for publicly recommending in newly published book criticize an n.t. for well you remember n.t. for right. that was in the since deleted twit the poor guy barely mentioned that he read the book about it but that one twit started this tsunami of rage and calls to boycott

marshall's bam downflow didn't do or spent a flush chez i really like that one song a while ago winston mossel and his prove to us just a beanie and dress and i hope the rest of the band kicks him to the curb otherwise i'm out. your banjo player is a fascist what do you think this is going to do to your public image you guys screwed up fire the fascist the book was written by the wrong guy and know a journalist who's been beating the drum about violent left wing groups in the us for years for that it was often attacked beaten and even milkshakes of even harassed a random asian man in portland because he looked like him a group for those who. because they read my were. the. was is not only the. meaning given the interest but those of the girls

curious minds from and new thoughts anyway and now writes a book that big surprise lashes out at and t. for and bad grasps the attention of poor winston marshall who's already on the world greater in 2018 he posed with jordan peterson as a college just who doesn't share transgender youth oreo or feminism that was strike number one and now endorsing the wrong book that strike number 2 game over your band. but it's not just who you endorse it's also who you failed to endorse like these 2 public school administrators in the state of pennsylvania they lost their jobs because they dared to criticize black lives matter in facebook posts or this guy senator josh holy facebook contract was polled after he question joe biden's election victory. a conservative publisher picked it up though saying they refused to how were before the woak mob got across most of the media and cultural

landscape towering is the new name of the game. the loyal you could get all swans left wing attacks becoming more frequent. there are issues with the with to integrity in the quality of the book but nonetheless merely reading it and praising a book should no be the subject of apology the idea that you should apologize for reading and praising any book. as extreme connotations for freedom of speech you know we are seeing it more and more. praising that to kill all those who particularize can enjoy up an extremely hope. which emotional tweeted an endorsement of the ideas in mind cam and yes i think that would be entirely different than dean goes but he's not mine kam i think what's really interesting is that we get drawn into these comparisons very very easily you know it's very easy to throw around the term fascist nowadays but rightwing fascism is

a very remote ideology and in today's context. whatever you think of it means certainly not a 'd white wing fascist so the comparison is completely healed founded. tell which will host the g. 7 summit is being attacked for not being as green as it claims to be but she davie picks up the story. just 2 months before world leaders rent their private jets and come skidding into the u.k. from every corner of the planet to attend the g. 7 summit a few autographs of being i do not want to believe that they have a little dig literally tracks by a hotel in posh accent at the bottom left hand corner of britain hosting the g. 7 summit in june has played a big part. trees and shrubs. to

create 3 family meeting rooms for the likes of climate chris 8 is a joke boyd and justin and country head hosts lowest jobs embarrassing the hotel hasn't actually got planning permission to build the new version and that the cation was submitted on monday but hasn't been accepted and the ticket for checked it would have to do the reverse of what they'd done and that was. the hotel which prides itself on being eco friendly run the company i in turn hotel of the year award $2924.00 to the 2020 slash $21.00 award as a local councillors one of them saying i think it's a disgrace that the summit which is meant to be looking at the effects of climate change and the environment is being organized in hosted by people who obviously don't give a damn about the house has featured proof lupo statement you say it was be a status committee to sustainability and dedicated to protecting the environment

now and for generations to come we can confirm this was not ancient woodland and there are no bad just sets on this piece of land you would have to think the best thing to say to climate change would be to hold the meeting well and just like the last one to get head start on saving some of those carbon emissions again it's not fun drinking champagne on your own is a plus in scotland in the event but it's another one of the united nations. climate change conference also known as c.e.o. p.t.c. forests has gone big on this one as well he moved to minnesota just to concentrate on this one climate conference or wonder what they'll dig up for their. i very regularly visit the area and i found. easily 20 breeding species of birds just within the area they've removed in the last week. but also it's an important migration or a door to grab

a serene it's just been said that if the planning permission is rejected all the work that has already occurred needs to be removed and it's all good well removing buildings and structures but 1st of all we can restore 180 years worth of you know natural ecosystem framework these trees you don't just plumb them and walk away you know they need careful care and they take decades and centuries to grow to the same level as the trees you're basically taking down like for example that the hay chesty development you can't you can't take away for 500 year old trees and i expect to come in a couple of things and offset the carbon emission the carbon emission is going to take decades centuries and even millennia new millennia to get replaced and i think that there's a bit of a green illusion going on on with that sort of bait and you reflect on the green policies that you know it's going to be one of the leading debates is climate

change and bring policy in this way the host venue is intimately. causing relatively large appetite destruction on a local scale in order to host this this conference think it if it doesn't bode well with you know representing what this conference ultimately stands for. thanks to do it joining us here on r.t. international we're back at the top of the hour with the latest.
