the european medical agency rules astra zeneca vaccine defective just days after countries had suspended use of the job in fear of side effects the e m a however said it would continue to study possible links between the shelter under blood clotting disorder also ahead. you used to move when i was a child and we had arguments in the playground we used to say bounces off me and sticks to you. heart of lot of our patients nuanced response to joe biden labeling him. in a recent t.v. interview we can trust the american president's words to his recent promise that

the policy is. the u.k. should strike trade deals with countries even if they have a poor human rights record that's according to a leaked recording all of a speech given by the u.k. foreign secretary. live from moscow every hour of the day this is r.t. pleasure to have your company my names you know not only. the european medicines agency has ruled. coronavirus vaccine is safe and effective of the links between certain side effects will continue to be proved countries including spain germany france and italy earlier suspended vaccination following reports of blood clots developing and even fatalities among those who received the

job let's cross live to chart a different skin porous charlotte this weight was in there for many in the run up to the e.m.a.'s and months meant take us through it. that's why the e.m.e.a. confirming on thursday that they can say that mr zeneca to be a safe effective vaccine when it comes to mitigating the effects of 19 saying that this is a vaccine where the benefits continue to outweigh any associated risks but also confirming that this vaccine is not associated with the overall risk of blood clots however because of the blood clotting that has been seen in some patients a handful of patients across the european union there will not be warnings added to this job warnings for those who take it that if they spot certain signs how to mitigate them and of course more information being the health care providers who or

ministering this job this is what the director had to say. after days of in-depth analysis of large screen nicol reports autopsy reports and further information from the clinical trials we still cannot. definitively link between these cases and the taxi there are also still some uncertainty we have seen some very rare cases describing specific usually for communication. and. so we'll continue to get. these conditions including least will keep very close. well this decision by the european medicines agency confirms what we already heard from the u.k. regulators early on thursday that astra zeneca is safe for use now we do know though as you heard there that they will be continued further investigations into

some of these rare side effects as there are with all the vaccines that it be used at the moment as you know from germany italy and other european countries had announced the suspension of the use of astra zeneca over the concerns relating to blood clots but all said that they would hope to lift that suspension if they really cave under the green light to the vaccine which of course they have done in that press conference on thursday now the big issue for these countries and an issue that this is going to be incredibly difficult for them to get over is that of trust trust in the vaccine the astra zeneca vaccine was already low in many countries to give an example here in france on the day the president announced that suspension of astra zeneca only 20 percent of people who responded to a survey said they had confidence in it now of course there have been issues over

the last few months with certainly does raising questions over the efficacy of astra zeneca particularly for older age groups including president described as being quasi effective for those old age groups since that low countries have a rollback on those issues but these are problems that will remain people's minds they will remember and in paris today trust. was in short supply. i don't trust the specs and i don't know if it's really true what they say with the media would no longer know what to think but i know that considering. i don't really have confidence in it and anyway i don't want to be vaccinated we don't have enough perspective it was quite quick so i think it's a little early in my opinion. the vaccine is brand new i mean we don't know the side effects those who died from it but they don't want to take the risk so i'm

waiting a little longer. you never know how they made it there isn't she died until of the people who died because of it so i don't really know if it really works or not so. well will the maze announcement today that astra zeneca is safe change those opinions well that remains to be seen but this is a huge issue for european countries of which astra zeneca is seen as being a key component in speeding up the rollout of the vaccine vaccine process that has been painfully slow with only around 10 percent of adults being vaccinated here compared to say around 40 percent almost in the u.k. there's also been a problem over the fact that there have been delays in the manufacturing in just the hope for a couple of days this is especially if using astra zeneca vaccine has seen some of those jobs going to waste it also could mean that there's

a delay in the rollout of that program even more so now so far in europe for vaccines have been approved in the e.m.e.a. is currently reviewing others including the russian vaccine the sputnik v. but the recalls will be made to speed up this process particularly after the russian vaccine was described by one e.u. commission on wednesday as being a good vaccine this is what the austrian chancellor supposed to say. concerning. other vaccines i strongly insist that the relevant e.u. bodies issue not authorize asian for safe vaccines as soon as possible the more vaccines we have the better. well as e.u. countries are now facing a good way of 19 it is clear that some sort of speed up that happened whether that's in the approval of vaccines or in the speed out of the rollout of the vaccine process it is clear that over one since this pandemic hit the european

continent. is still far from the woods charlie thanks for taking us through all of our charlie dubin ski live in paris. and moving the program on a lot of more putin has responded to being labeled a killer by his american counterpart joe biden during a recent t.v. interview. because only. i would wish him good health i'm not joking i mean it secondly i want to say that in the history of every country there are many tragic and dramatic events but when we judge people or the nations we look into a mirror we see ourselves we impose on others what we see in ourselves when i was a child and we had arguments in the playground we used to say bounces off me and sticks to you and it's not just the children saying the meaning is very deep

a response to this bombshell remarks made by joe biden was highly anticipated and everyone's been curious what the russian president would say to this and how it's going to affect the relationship between the 2 countries well for now it definitely seems that mr putin has chosen not to get deeper down and this war of words and diplomatic statements but you know at the same time he like everyone know that he's under no illusion about the nature of the u.s. policy towards russia. that you know that the united states government wants to maintain such relations with us it's only issues of interest to the united states itself and on that terms they think we just like them but with difference we have a different genetic and cultural moral code but we know how to protect our interests yes we'll work with them but in areas that are of interest to us on terms of benefits and they will have to deal with it well this whole story is started when joe biden was asked if he considers vladimir putin a killer in an era view

a few days ago when the reply was unprecedented even for russia and the u.s. with all their tough recent history so let's have a listen to the segment you know vladimir putin you think is a killer. or do so what price must he pay the price is going to pay well you'll see shortly well the harsh statements and the relationship between the 2 nations to a new low before that biden's administration announced a new wave of anti russian sanctions which included a blanket ban on important export of weapons and military technology to russia washington cited the alleged meddling in the presidential elections as one of their reasons only this time around we're talking about 2020 elections not 2016 and i was heartened to mix it all up given this never ending stream of accusations leveled against russia in the recent years and russian ambassador by the way russian ambassador to the u.s.

is now on his way back to moscow for consultations it's one of the diplomatic moves that russian side made to show does not take all that lightly and will adjust its policy accordingly and according to the russian foreign ministry statement it's the u.s. to blame for bringing the relationship between the 2 countries in a quote dead and. well just some reaction to this story geo political analyst patrick henningsen journalist new clark both believe the u.s. diplomacy has reached an all time low. just think that president putin comes out of this whole exchange with tremendous credit he stay classy is i mean when you look at what joe biden said you know you could argue this is projection set lee because when you think of biden's record we talk about killers and we talk about deaths well he just about every walk of it so to hear this man use this kind of language that really is tells everything we need to know about the degradation of the office

of the president the u.s. it is ironic this comes after donald trump these office we were told don't trump was the one who is bringing america into disrepute and yet we get biden coming in just a few weeks off because the president according to another world leader killa well really it is time so i think what's really gone badly wrong with western. look we took atlanta see a total lack of diplomacy in recent years just compare the 2 in this exchange and it really tells you all you need to know about you know the u.s. president the state of the white house right now in terms of foreign policy so this is the only thing that biden can do to i guess throw a solid to his base to throw a solid back to the media that really carried the russia gate narrative for for 5 years so it's sad but i'm not surprised that they're going to have to come to terms of the fact that this is a collapsed narrative they're addicted to this russia gave narrative and then there's nothing they don't have anything to go forward with in terms of diplomacy

or really original thinking. sacrificing human rights southie alter of trade that's what the u.k. foreign secretary has been accused of by income painters after a leaked recording revealed he wants the u.k. to strike deals with countries regardless of their 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 and 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 of 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 robb's comments saying that this leaked order far was actually clipped and actually 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 we're going to keep going to 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 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. well written trade deals worth billions of puns with countries topping the list of human rights violators in the last 4 years saudi arabia carried out over 500 executions as capital punishment while in india in 2020 there were over 1300 dance in custody we spoke to the director of global justice no he said he wasn't surprised by dominic romps comments anything 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 governments acoustic so there are backbenchers don't trust them not to do trade deals with countries that are committing genocide acts a genocide. and the british government said we don't want to have our hands tied so really british trade policy is that it's human rights free zone 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 tape that he put out yesterday the integrated defense review had some absolutely chilling passages in including the fact that we're going to be increasing our new killer weapons stockpile by 40 percent this is a deeply liberal government and you know i think that 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. local authorities along america's southern border

are calling on the government to step in now as the region faces a record influx of migrants the u.s. border patrol is struggling to provide code would secure a shelter for thousands of people the mayor of a town in arizona told me the crisis is on president. 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 arizona cities have seen and we were hoping to keep it that way unfortunately it doesn't look with them dropping these migrants in our community untested. well southern states including arizonan alabama borne the brunt of the migrant influx a recent poll suggests there is growing it's about the ability of the authorities to cope with the situation in the us mexico border amid the pandemic the biden

administration has the ploy the disaster agency theme up to deal with the situation despite that being beyond the remit. riggs again told me the federal government he believes wasn't prepared for such a surgeon my quick numbers. there is definitely the concern. how that is going to impact my community i have a large number of seniors and elders. this could really affect so we're hoping that border patrol will start testing before they release people were wanting to see what their health records are so that we can ensure our our citizens our project 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 i'm going to offer this they need to do their job they need to have

a plan in place obviously there was no plan. to return to europe were the fact seen rollouts as we know has been dogged by supply troubles and with out in mind some are looking further afield to get their job they're getting creative a number of a talent entrepreneurs are immune to launch vaccination tours to russia earlier this month firms in a number of e.u. countries deal to produce russia's sputnik. but they're all still waiting on the blocks regulator to approve the drug r.t. caught up with the italian travel agent behind the vaccine tours idea. in the euro upright to now. campaign is going very slowly the people who have been basking in the old fart of the population about to know. they need the aged 5 to get the permission of the 34 to 15 years 'd that want to leave aston it

back to may be they have to wait 5 or 6 months we have a not that well gee stick to a program about these distribution and say see before and they don't want to be basking in the sound bite of the population don't want to give us mid-week to beat fighting mad. but you've. seen 2nd reason mass i went off the stuff to a lot of my request to keep losing this week the russian mass scene is so we started to to speak with our russian 5 to the east where possible in the near future. thousands of pensioners in moscow care homes have received responding including among them a 104 year old veteran who got the job so she could safely get back to spending some quality time with her family.

she has been living here for a long time hence she's a new 104 years old when the vaccination was and as she volunteered to get it she feels fine assured getting the shot which was done to allow her to see her relative safety she's very happy that. russia is celebrating the 7th anniversary of reunification with crimea after months of political turmoil and civil unrest in ukraine in 2014 the southern region voted by more than 96 percent to break away and rejoin mainland russia. a tranquil has been finding out that day is being marked and he joins us live now to tell us just

tell us more. butin hey there well the biggest celebrations are of course happening in crimea in different parts of the peninsula but the russian president took part in those that are happening at the biggest arena here in moscow at the russian capital on the day when 7 years ago the crimean peninsula voted to rejoin russia that's crimea and also the city of sevastopol march 18th that was so vladimir putin didn't only congratulate crimea and for a vast majority of the locals there as they say this day was probably the happiest in years if not decades the russian leader also sent a message to the whole country and the rest of the world reminding everyone where

clime e.-a belongs as he sees it. the shui prize you have seen that sheet today is a very special day for the whole of a vast country vast that's the right word for russia remains the largest country in the world in terms of territory if you take a look at some up you see that crimea is just the dogs and yet we're talking about the restoration of historical fenice we're talking about the importance of this land to our country and our people. so vladimir putin speech was almost entirely about the historic connections between the crimean peninsula and russia that date back 2 centuries ago and the russian president also talked about the blood that was spilled so often by the russian russian and eventually soviet soldiers that lost their lives trying to save crimea from the

invaders now for many in the world especially in the western world what happened in 2014 when climbing it was unified reunified with russia that was something controversial or outright on lawful but the people who have been to crimea the people who talk to the locals in most cases they just don't understand the deep connections and what exactly happened 70 years ago like you mentioned. there were violent protests in kiev spearheaded by ukrainian nationalists that led to takeover and power some call it a military story some call it 8 khuda ta and as a result of this the crimean that are mostly russians by nationality they just didn't want to remain part of ukraine and that led to the referendum in which the

result was impressive like you said you've been more than 96 percent in favor of rejoining russia that explains the significance the importance incredible importance for everyone in this country and also in crimea of this day and this is why everyone here is celebrating today and the time 1000000 a day that violence building up to it the vote still very vivid thank you very much for bringing us right through the party correspondents. well ahead of. ourselves he spoke to one of the most prominent figures are run the time to tell you. we should be 7 years have passed do you regret anything. like that in the referendum no definitely no joke i mean feel things are better in reality different things at the crimean referendum here's the date of the anniversary of the crimean referendum we're all happy because we defined as

something of all ours we had one goal we were move into words this noble goal talk to me is media how did the mood change in general i remember the joy with which crimea joined but what 7 years later do they now think in crimea about this obviously some new understanding is come. no pride in the referendum but a desire to establish a dialogue with ukraine but how the rights of the crimean people effected no question of course they are affected because crimea is can't get some kind of fees or to go somewhere crimea or special people with a special status quo limited in dries the tire vailable to any other person live in either in mainland russia or in ukraine it means for the choice for they political views crimean still bear such restrictions. do people regret it.

of course people are worried and people are waiting to begin to leave normally like everyone else because at the most but it's how can this happen. probably only when it's not just moscow in kiev being listen to the results and need to ask crimean stem cells like what happened here they say you have been annexed and we would say to the international community india colleagues fellow citizens friends were not and that we were stupidly abandoned in 2014 those people who seized power in kiev forced us into holding a referendum we defended our allies and turned to a large amount putin and we were really hoping that he would not abandon us because they had already abandoned us in key if he didn't abandon us a lot is our lot from the new studio here in moscow but scott i know is standing by in washington with yet another news about starts.

that's right the stand had to be here from us and i. know from what i saw. i know this that i know are true but there are rather you know that there are 4 of them together that. only you and that can pull out of my next question then you can keep an eye on what i did through the channels i told you that it. was then that i was going on the show the total it does show that they owned a lot of the. numbers that i would hate. to it.

because its whole foods but choice these are yours and they are trying mysterious said. away. from my love for them after the couple folks around here say it's right jim and then where i hope that our family. drones are becoming be a tool of choice over manned aircraft and dangerous missions by many countries including the united states so much so that president biden has issued a new policy regarding their use by the us military but has drone warfare become the new wild west and is it smart to put rules on one team if the other country has no boundaries we're going to ask our experts plus unemployment numbers are. dropping as america continues to reopen well except for one key group we're going

to give you the 360 view and we are going to take you to a museum who is adapting to this new normal and whose work is a fusion of art and technology guaranteed to make all ages excited to go and study now hughes in all of these stories with our expert guest on today's edition of news right here on our to america i. i i. i. i. thanks for joining us you know recently the u.s. military has been using drones more and more to conduct overseas operations especially in operations which involve killing terrorism suspects in foreign countries so much so that even bases here at home are being converted from housing military airplanes to full drone bases well now the white house has ordered a review of a u.s. policy and the pentagon has confirmed confirmed president biden has placed new
