this is fair. i just don't believe. we are in the crisis of the century and i'm not ruling out anything anything for now you've been union threatens its allies with a vaccine export by and in attempt to fix this floundering job rollout follow the e.u. states just been a big might be the answer. to a moscow warns of a new low in ties after the us president brands his russian counterpart a killer look at whether joe biden's promise that diplomacy is back is in fact a stab in the back. in the u.k. should strike trade deals with nations even if they have a poor human rights record that's according to a leaked recording of u.k. foreign secretary dominic robb that's put him in the firing line of human rights.
6:01 am
thanks so much for joining us this is r.t. international. the e.u. has threatened its allies with a vaccine export ban in the latest twist in the blocks ongoing vaccine supply saga commissioner live on the line said that she's prepared to invoke a law last use 50 years ago to ban job exports outside the block. we are in the crisis of the century and i'm not ruling out anything anything for now because we have to make sure that europeans are vaccinated as soon as possible if the situation does not change we will have to reflect on how to make exports to vaccine producing countries dependent on their level of openness another day another scandal involving vaccines in the european union this time there's been an
6:02 am
increase in the language that's been used from the e.u. commission president on the law and she said that the block may well put in place rules that they haven't used special measures that they haven't used since the 1970 s. in order to block the export of vaccines that are manufactured on e.u. territory now this is very thinly veiled and how it's targeted the united kingdom in particular when you look at the numbers it's quite clear since the vaccine started being rolled out around 9000000 also vaccines have been exported from the e.u. into the u.k. 0 have gone the other way for a manufacturer as in the united kingdom to the e.u. so what the e.u. is saying is that they need to keep those vaccines inside their own territory for use on their own citizens now that hasn't gone down very well in the united kingdom
6:03 am
dominick rob the u.k. foreign secretary said he was shocked by the announcement frankly i'm surprised we're having this conversation is normally what really you can you team up with to check with other countries with less pretty quick to produce the right gauge and that kind of brinkmanship it's not just the united kingdom will be asking a few questions of the e.u. over this the united states as well receives vaccines manufactured inside the e.u. both inside the e.u. there's also division when it comes to the district. you should of vaccines sebastian cortes the austrian chancellor heading up a group of 6 member states who want to see a change in the way it's done he says it's too open to back door deals when it comes to who gets vaccines when he also says that the e.u. needs to approve more vaccines for use in the fight against covert 19 and he's got his eyes on russia's sputnik v. job concerning sputnik vi and other vaccines i strongly insist that the relevant
6:04 am
e.u. bodies issue an authorization for safe vaccines as soon as possible the more vaccines we have the better for the world health organization just published a damning report into failings by the e.u. when it comes to dealing with the pandemic in the list of things that the e.u. needs to do fighting with its allies over vaccine production wasn't there what could help though would be approving more vaccines so that more people across the european union can receive that job. russia's ambassador to the united states is on his way to moscow for crisis talks of the ties with washington hit a new low comes in response to a t.v. interview in which president joe biden said his russian counterpart will pay the price for efforts to undermine the u.s. election last year versus foreign ministry had this to say for us the main thing is to determine ways of improving russian u.s. dose which in a difficult state washington has in fact brought those to
6:05 am
a dead end in recent years we are interested in preventing the irreversible degradation if the americans realize the risks associated with that this will be discussed you're in consultations between the russian foreign ministry and other relevant departments and with the russian ambassador to washington in the same interview the diplomacy gloves were clearly off with biden laying a very serious allegation of vladimir putin's door. you know vladimir putin you think he's a killer. and do so what price must he pay but pray she's going to pay well you'll see shortly you don't have to be an expert in diplomacy to realize how serious this is we might end up hearing from the kremlin that russia chose not to accept the insult period so what then not even a chance to sort out anything at all between the behemoths of world politics no wait after agreeing with the killer part joe biden gives russia and his counterpart
6:06 am
a chance for places where it's in our mutual interests to work together that's why our renewed to start agreement with them that's over roman interest of humanity that we diminish the prospect of a nuclear exchange but like i said i'm not so sure the russian side will simply forget the offensive label anyway these mood swings are probably exactly what you should expect from how mr biden treats russia in the next 4 years but perhaps these aren't actual mood swings they've become a classic feature of how washington's been dealing with moscow for years there will always be something to blame the russians for even if it means reviving the election meddling narrative for real they just did it. we assess that russian president putin authorized in a range of russian government organizations conducted influence operations aimed at denigrating president biden's candidacy and the democratic policy supporting the
6:07 am
former president trump undermining public confidence in the electoral process and exacerbating satiate political divisions in the us you realize what happens next right this sighting what kind of punishment russia deserves although u.s. lawmakers still haven't fully decided on what russia deserves for some of the older sins the bottom line is when the man who took over at the white house was saying america is back america is back diplomacy is back hinting at a smoother or more predictable foreign policy it could have been about anyone in the world but not russia unless mr biden confused yes and no or i do and i don't when he heard the word killer on a.b.c. . on wednesday washington also expanded export restrictions on russia the us
6:08 am
department of commerce cited the country's alleged use of chemical weapons something moscow's repeatedly denied aug told us biden and his team have a cold war mindset that's bad news for global stability. there's been this red scare since the beginning of the trumpet ministration we had 2 years of you know that russia investigation hoax the place of the democratic party base to attack russia and i think that's one of the things that president biden is doing he's playing to the base which is entire russian it's unfortunate because there are so many things in which the united states and russia should be cooperating obviously we did the start treaty earlier this year but the fight against terrorism is a very important one in which both russia and the united states have a common interest as well as issues regarding security in the middle east syria you know has is an example as well the president biden has really got to think what he's doing and you've got to think before you speak because we have a great opportunity to try to turn things around in the relationship with russia
6:09 am
and i think president biden should be focused on that instead of trying to play to the democratic base and yet again you know criticizing russia i hope that the sanctions are minor enough that this is more political posturing than actually trying to damage russia. the american government interferes too much in in fears of other foreign countries and especially in russia blaming russia for too many things a lot of which was was. part of our own domestic creation or problems that we've created here at home i didn't came up during the cold war and it doesn't seem like he's ready to let go that make peace with russia and other countries and that's what we really need for the safety and peace of the world in for the strength and safety of americans here we need to be nicer to the world community and not treat the entire world as enemies. sector fi sing human rights and
6:10 am
the altar of trade that's what human rights activists of the keys the u.k. foreign secretary off after a leaked recording revealed him saying the u.k. should strike trade deals with nations even if they have a poor human rights record. i believe we ought to be trading liberally around the world if we restrict it to countries with the european convention on human rights level standards of human rights we're not going to do many trade deals with the growth markets of the future with the foreign secretary dominic robb admitting that trading prospects actually could be done with the so-called enemies human rights groups are now hitting back accusing the government of gross hypocrisy this apparent willingness to sacrifice human rights at the altar of trade is shocking but certainly unsurprising it fits a depression pattern on human rights from these government trade is obviously important to all nations but the foreign secretary shouldn't be thrown human right defenders to the wharf like this while the government has actually defended dominic rob's comment saying that this leaked order far was actually clipped and actually
6:11 am
distorted the truth but we've also heard from the opposition party the labor party hitting out saying that dominic robb's comments behind closed doors actually completely undermined their public statements at the same time but it's not just dominic rob who has been accused long before of turning a blind eye to human rights abuses but saying something else publicly make good on that pledge bring into force the united kingdom's 1st thomas human rights sanctions regime which gives us the power to impose sanctions on the on those involved in the very worst human rights abuses right around the world so when it comes to the big security and human rights challenges of our time we need this our united nations to forge a bold new multilateralism so when it comes to championing human rights across the world it seems like the united kingdom can talk the talk but can't quite walk the walk but this week it really does feel as though britain is going through some sort
6:12 am
of existential identity crisis so now it's trying to reposition itself on the international world stage and reassert its global dominance but it seems like it will do that at any cost. britain's trade deals with billions of pounds with countries topping the list of human rights violators in the last 4 years saudi arabia carried out more than 500 executions as capital punishment while india in 2020 registered 1338 deaths in judicial custody we spoke to the director of global justice now who wasn't surprised by dominic rubs comments. the anything that really surprises me about this is that people still think human rights plays any role whatsoever in terms of british trade policy it's only been a couple of weeks now since boris johnson's own backbenchers try to amend a piece of legislation to say. they want to prevent the british government doing trade deals with genocidal regimes and the government accused it so there are backbenchers don't trust them not to do trade deals with countries that are
6:13 am
committing genocide acts of genocide. and the british government said we don't want to have our hands tied so really which is trade policy it's human rights freezone and dominic rabs response to democracy apparently being in retreat around the world seems to be that democracy should also be in retreat in this country because the paper that he put out yesterday the integrated defense review had some absolutely chilling passages and including the fact that we're going to be increasing on you could have weapons stockpile by 40 percent this is a deeply is a liberal government and you know i think the trade policy is clearly going to play a role in future years in the promotion of british power i'm british transnational corporations around the world. coming out the thirty's along america's southern border raise the alarm over brecqhou of migrant numbers and some newcomers testing positive but after the break we speak to the matter of an arizona town about.
6:14 am
banks figure out new ways to rip people off they get caught and what they do is they change the law in this new laws and if there is any problem take stand apart and they just make sure it is longer and the bonds lower but now it looks like that big american game of fraud which is the american business model is coming to an end .
6:15 am
welcome back authorities of the u.s. southern border are raising the alarm and calling on the government to step in as the region faces a record in place of migrants says u.s. border patrol struggles to provide a secure shelter for thousands of people and their of an arizona town told us the crisis was unprecedented this is really opening up a pandora's box in our community we did not see the covert crisis nowhere near what some of the other cities have seen. hoping to keep it that way unfortunately it
6:16 am
doesn't look them dropping these migrants in our community and. border states including arizona and alabama have borne the brunt of the migrant unplugs a recent poll suggests there's growing doubts about the ability of the authorities to cope with the situation on the us mexico border also preventing spread of coronavirus the buddah ministration has deployed disaster agency fema to do with the situation chris riggs again believes that the federal government wasn't prepared for such a surge of migrants. there is definitely the concern of. how that it's going to impact my community i have a large number of seniors and elders that. this could really affect so we're hoping that border patrol 'd will start testing before they release people were wanting to see what their health records are so that we can ensure that
6:17 am
our our citizens are protected this is a crisis simple as that and i'm none of this on border patrol i put it strictly on the federal government as far as the current administration needs to step up and 3rd going to offer this they need to do their job they need to have a plan in place obviously there was no plan. u.k. government initiative to safeguard swimmin has been met with heavy criticism from feminist groups and campaign this new measures compartment response to the highly publicized murder of a young woman in london earlier this month among the measures plainclothes policemen will be deployed in night clubs and pubs millions of pounds will be pumped into having increased patrols at closing time as people flood on to the streets of the most street lighting and surveillance cameras call it a campaign and by last told us the initiative failed to target the actual assailants. the fact is that is our money is not on who is doing the
6:18 am
violence the courage is willing to feel unsafe i'm so worried. that we are made from time to time oh great particular case but routinely in britain chile where in poland week all murdered that the surge not one this was a particular horrific case what he brings up is that there's a culture that says he took her a boat to the beach where men husbands do meet and women who will. simply in the wrong place at the wrong time the place the women is in the world we have people in london they would feel safer knowing that there were undercover police officers in pubs but it depends what interest that they have. seen the police and i thought quite a few times out what happened often is unforgivable so i don't know i don't think
6:19 am
anything will make people safer people distrust the police even if the safer on the police is not something where you can just put them into environments like companies that would say i mean especially the minute you know if the problem is that women don't feel safe around men because we don't know which men are safe to be around i think a plain top police officer isn't solving the issue because how do we know we're safe from him how do you know he's a real police officer how do you know that it's not just someone pretending to be one because of the other things in mind i don't see no reason why i should be feeling like i have to look for a plain clothes officer obviously texted but you don't know who's who i just feel that educating people young age young boys about respect for women you know out how to treat people that's the key really. for u.k. police officer peter williams told us the initiative can improve the situation but needs to be looked into further. the police have been keeping up survey says the surveillance in bars and clubs and discos for years but this particular idea from
6:20 am
the going which announced by the government yesterday obviously 1st to. the safety of females in particular during the night time economy and that is based upon it looks like it's based upon some practice that's been implemented in oxford by thames valley police for the past 18 months 2 years called project vigilance because of the ballot initiatives there's been a 30 percent reduction in the reporting in thing that's important word of sexual violence against women no it must have some merits and it must be on the paint by some evidence base because project vigilance was awarded a prize by the international association of chief police officers in october. last year so it is based on good practice but we obviously need to know more about
6:21 am
what practices. the un has expressed concern of a new case decision to boost its nuclear arsenal or a stance and justified the move they citing the evolving security environment over the past decade advance foreign minister also criticised the step accusing the british prime minister of apocrypha saying. in utter hypocrisy boris johnson is concerned about iran developing a viable a nuclear weapon on the very same day here now and says his country will increase its stockpile of nukes unlike the u.k. and allies around believes nukes and all weapons of mass destruction are barbaric and must be eradicated well runs always maintained its nuclear program is purely peaceful and 2015 the country reached a deal with 6 world powers on its skin in exchange for lifting sanctions but donald trump told the us out of that deal in $28.00 team it provoked iran into increasing its level of uranium enrichment university of tehran professor side mohammad
6:22 am
marandi believes the britons move sends out the wrong message to the people of iran . the british accused iran of. making nuclear advances towards a nuclear weapon you know but at the same time they are increasing the number of their warheads that's obvious for everyone in iran but the british are both dishonest and being hypocritical dishonest about iran's intentions because there is no evidence whatsoever that iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon yet at the same time the british are increasing the number of nuclear warheads that they have and they have so for the iranians it just simply shows that western exceptionalism in europe centrism is still a lie and well and that as long as this mentality continues they really cannot be no real friendship and real security and stability and
6:23 am
trust between iran and regimes like the british regime. with europe's vaccine rollouts dogged by supply troubles some people are looking further afield to get the job a number of italian entrepreneurs are even hoping to launch vaccination tours to russia early this month firms in a number of e.u. countries instils to produce russia sputnik the job but they will still waiting on the blocks regulator to approve the drug when he caught up with the italian travel agent on the vaccine tours idea. in the you're upright to now. campaign is going very slowly the people who have been fascinated that they're all part of the population but you know it is all there they need their age part of the population of the 34th to 15 years older that
