our broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us now tensions within the e.u. over its stuttering vaccine rollout are around picking up the austrian chancellor is claiming some states have made backroom deals for the shots breaking the rules with more here's our she's pretty. the e.u. has one for all and all for one vaccine procurement program has come under fire again this time it's austria's chancellor sebastien cortes who's not happy he says that the way that excess doses have been sorted out amounts to little more than a trading bazaar he's also we're really on a happy with the weight distribution is being carried out he says that under the program the way it is at the moment some e.u.

member states will vaccinate all of their population by may others will have to wait until perhaps as long as the autumn yet to hear and front of all i have together with other heads of government show the information compare our own statistics on the distribution among e.u. member states and when you do that you notice that their mounts delivered do not correspond to the respective population numbers there is such a bizarre word distal contracts but when member states and pharmaceutical companies are set to have existed according to kurtz's start small to has received 3 times as many doses relative to its population as bulgaria we've also heard from the e.u. commission spokespeople though they've said that there are no secret backroom deals going on when it comes to doses of the vaccine and when it comes to the distribution program austria was privy to how this would work right from the very

beginning if they'd had any problems with it they should've voiced them then the starting point of the commission is to distribute doses based on population but member states can ask for less all more of a particular vaccine in this context and following talks between member states is possible that a new distribution plan is agreed with the company. well the e.u.'s lacks a nation program has prompted some member states to look elsewhere for jobs in the direction the a lot of them have been turning is towards russia's v vaccine that has caused some problems though particularly in slovakia where the health minister role now for the health minister he is was forced to resign from the cabinet after he ordered 200000 doses of the russian vaccine to out of the 4 policies that make up the coalition government in that country said they weren't having nothing there's a similar boat different situation in the czech republic as well the president of

the czech republic saying that the health minister and senior health official should either quit or be sacked if they don't buy rush's sputnik v. vaccine well the sputnik v. job is currently undergoing e m a the european medicines agency review once it gets not green light which is expected to come soon the vaccine will be used in a number of european nations foreign affairs analyst adrian believes the pandemic has exposed the disunity within the e.u. . i do believe even though the. european union is broke and it's ceased aims to be perceived as a abortion as we know that the pandemic. was demons from all of us all all the governments around the world we know about the facts in nationalism and we know that in this race for our citizens' lives no one

is really taking into account what the e.u. is saying i do agree with the torah the saying certain countries. just pushing. for securing more vaccines and this buy back since nationalism is well documented. artists and employees are staging a unique performance at 3 of france's national theatres by occupying the venues in a protest over covina lockdowns they claim the restrictions have brought the industry to its knees and fear the curtains may never rise again and start to shell dubinsky explains. i. think oh my god. the chorus of calls demanding the reopening of cultural venue's is growing allow

day in front but with no clear end date in sight to the closure of theaters concert hall cinemas 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 protesters who set up shop here at the boat in fear 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 may 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 and particularly involved the aftermath of the whites here they know it why objective is to continue to protect artistic employment as much as nuts. we will continue our discussions days later though and nothing has changed the sector already hit badly by the 1st wave of the covert pandemic with performers taking to the streets to make their plight. you.

6 6 there is an anger too that while small private galleries have been allowed to stay open places such as this of how to remain shut protesters say that it is possible to open up cultural venues and ensure the people remain socially distance . of the louvre museum the also a museum the big museums in paris these are vos places where social distancing would be respected but they are closed 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 in the world but that system has been strained as a result of co the 19 and many claim that they have fall in through the cracks those his say that this protest is just the start as more and more regions in france will see similar action shallot even ski r.t. paris. pressure is mounting on new york state governor andrew cuomo to step down over sexual misconduct allegations and an alleged cover up of care home deaths . i think 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 $8000.00 fatalities in care homes but those who were transferred to the hospital and died there were excluded from the figures something deliberately to make the number of casualties seem lower if these victims are added the real number of deaths is almost double those reported victims' relatives question the counting and governor cuomo some parents just missile of its importance. who he years 3320 years died in the middle died in a nursing home the done right. that requirement for nursing homes to take uncovered patients is being blamed for making the crisis worse we spoke to 2 women who each lost parents to the coronavirus and care facilities they are now behind the advocacy group voices for seniors and say there must be accountability for the fate of their loved ones. my father is still among the uncounted because he was released

from a nursing home rehabilitation center after next surgery knowingly with a virus he was labeled a covert suspect in his nursing home paperwork and made in test him they didn't treat him they didn't tell us and unfortunately we were the ones when we got him home that had to put him in a hospital when he came home he was in terrible condition and he collapsed on the driveway exposing my whole family to cope and we all got sick shortly there after. my father unfortunately lost his life on april 14th after being on a ventilator for almost 2 weeks and it was purely preventable he was only 76 years old he was a healthy man and it was a pure cova death the moderate democrats are really focused on the sexy story the sexual harassment allegations that are against the governor and they seem to have forgotten forgotten the 15000 elderly people who died profess that preventable

deaths so we really haven't gotten much success with them we keep meeting with them and we keep trying to get an investigation but we have not been successful but we're not going to stop because we're not going away the facility failed her. and the state failed her. i think that right now at least many of the deaths that happen in nursing homes were because of a mandate that almost but in that force these facilities to take in patients when they were not equipped to take care of them so it's a combination of both my mother's for so that he was reporting 40 deaths back in april when my mother died and she was not part of that number because she died at the hospital so when months and months continue to pass and they stayed at 40 we knew that that number could not be correct i mean you're not going to tell me that 40 people die on a one shot and then no one dies for months so when the number actually came out we were we were based. we you know we were found to be true or that it was not right

they're still families and seniors today because they're being isolated sadat's and you know i know families that i talk to on a daily basis where they see their loved one declining every day and they're not allowed to you know. among the stories we have lined up for you after the break the head of an id firm warns that covert immunity passports if introduced would have severe implications for data privacy that and much more when we come back this is our international.

according to secretary of state playing games china is the only country with the economic military and technological power to seriously challenge the stable and open international system all the rules values and relationships that made the world work the way we wanted to is china really a threat to washington's legal system. when welcome back this is our to international now a dispute has erupted within

a one of america's leading global think tanks after it published an article saying the u.s. should forget about promoting human rights and democracy and its dealings with russia with details. there seems to be a war over russia brewing at the atlantic council the atlantic council is a an important washington d.c. think tank dedicated to promoting human rights and democracy we now have 2 of its experts who have come forward and said that quote democratizing russia may not actually be in the foreign policy interests of the united states this is some of what they said policymakers should award to human rights 1st broached to russia democratization in russia would not necessarily be good for u.s. foreign policy interests lammed by other thrillers of the atlantic council we had 22 atlanta council individuals us signing a document denouncing them and distancing themselves from this statement they said

that they feel that this statement by their 2 colleagues misses the mark this is their response there are school is premised on a false assumption that human rights and national interests wholly separate and the u.s. policy toward russia was and remains driven by human rights concerns principally in fact previous administrations and the current one have sought to integrate our values and other national interests the united states often claims it's promoting human rights around the world when it overthrows governments in libya in iraq in afghanistan the united states claimed it was bringing freedom to the countries when it invaded and destabilize the countries with pretty catastrophic results in syria the united states backed the opposition with similar runner rick now anthony blinken the new u.s. secretary of state says that now washington will not be using force in its efforts to promote human rights and democracy around the world we will incentivize democratic behavior but we will not promote democracy through costly military

interventions or by attempting to overthrow author terry regimes by force. we've tried these tactics in the past. however well intentioned they haven't worked well he's certainly correct in saying that they haven't were they simply resulted in chaos and more suffering in country after country after country but now the question must be raised if u.s. military interventions and source is not going to be used to promote or spread human rights and democracy how exactly does the united states intends to do it former u.s. marine corps intelligence officer scott ritter says containing russia is still a key goal of u.s. foreign policy. well no i mean the atlantic council has always been a promoter of the transatlantic relationship between the united states and europe. and that relationship pinches on you know the cold war type thinking you know band scene the rules based international order and those nations that aren't

willing to subordinate themselves to this rule rules peace international order 1st and foremost among those was the former soviet union and now today russia so the atlantic council's always been about the containment of russia in one of the ways that the united states and europe have. contained russia is by calling rush out you know what they what they see as human rights violations and they use this human rights issue as a means of sanctioning russia in further curtailing russia so then spend the atlantic council's you know bread and butter policy positions of hypocrisy has never stopped people who are who promote so-called american values and as a means of selling point policy so you know just because america has a difficult his own doesn't mean that the atlantic council knows or their ilk are going to continue to try to sell the united states as the sign shining city on the

hill that should serve as a model for all over countries to. the truth is it is difficult to so you know american democracy is the cure all. at a time of extreme woke ness and cancel culture it seems chatting openly about what you're reading can be a career ending move musician from one well known british band has been branded a fascist for mentioning he had read a book criticizing a left wing activist movement and artie's a constant call for comments on 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 ex and 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 had been planned 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 downfall and didn't do its meant to flush shay i really like that one song a while ago was the muscle in his proof that it's 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 his bad it was also an attack beaten and evidently milkshake of even harassed a random asian horseman because he looked like him a group for those who suffered because they read my were. the danger of unsafe in

the us is not only the willingness to support me being good in terrorism but those of the globe's curious minds from and the new thoughts anyway and now writes a book that big surprise lashes out at and t. for and that 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 a transgender youth oreo or feminism that was strike number one and now endorsing the wrong book that strike number 2 game over your ban. 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 and facebook posts or this guy senator josh

holy spook 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 but across most of the media and cultural landscape towering is the new name of the game lawyer luke dittos who also writes for the online magazine spiked says it is not right to attack the person just for reading and commenting on a book. there are issues with the with integrity and 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 keep the old as a particular righteous can enjoy up an extremely hope. we've seen multiple tweeted an endorsement of the ideas in mind cam and yes i think that would be entirely

different to. mine cam 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 precious nowadays but right wing fascism is a very remote ideology in today's context. whatever you think of it he said and we know a lot 'd fascist so the comparison is completely healed found it. the head of an american data privacy firm has questioned whether the personal health information in the passports can be stored securely rob shovel also warned that this could lead to discrimination. and i have 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 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 what we're concerned about is if vaccine data and then vaccine data combined with travel data starts to leak out and get 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 whose c.e.o. you just heard from and held a poll which found that less than half of americans want digital health passports rob shovel 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 and opportunity of vaccine of course is to not use a shared database is alaska knology is 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 it sounds convenient but ultimately there is a lot of risks to our privacy in the future if we keep creating more data especially how. it's going green is meant to be a central theme of the summer's meeting of the world's richest nations in the u.k. however it has been revealed that the eco hotel which the g 7 leaders will be staying at may not be as environmentally friendly as claimed.

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 posting the g. 7 summit in june has played a big part with a lot but sure 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 to 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 at the ticket for checked it and have to do the reverse of what they've done at work.

here at the hotel which prides itself on being eco friendly i won the coveted i in turn hotel of the year award 2019 slashed 20. 2020 slash $21.00 award as a local councillors with 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 and hosted by people who obviously don't give a damn about the how chalte chalte tell future proof lupo statement you said status committed 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 badge of sets on this piece of land you would have to think the best thing to say to climate change would be to hold the meteorologist like the last one to get head start on saving some of those naughty little carbon emissions and again it's not fun drinking champagne on your own is a plus in scotland in november it's another one of the united nations. call of
