ran by people. people's lives. between the. sticks to. the american president's words.

on the. recording of a speech given. just after attending meeting here in march the i mean this is our our top story. fronts italy spain are resuming use of the corona virus vaccination following the all clear from the european medicines agency it proved the company's vaccine is safe and effective although certain side effects will continue to be probed earlier our number of countries suspended use after reports of blood clots developing and even fatal a tease among those who had received the. west cross live now to our charlotte do

been skiing already charlotte you've been following developments take us through this statement what it means indeed for the roll out in europe. well the european medicines agency has deemed that astra zeneca is safe and effective to be used against the. virus saying that the benefits continue to outweigh the risks now in terms of those risks they said that there wasn't an associate overall risk of blood clotting as a result of astra zeneca but they're going to keep an eye on this with further investigation because they caught the 5th symphony room it out at this stage what they did say though is that they will be warnings given to those who have the jobs that this is a possible side effect and they'll be more information given to health healthy individuals who give out this job to make sure that they can mitigate any risks this is what the a.m.a. had to say. after days of in-depth analysis of large clinical

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 uncertainties we have seen some very rare case people describing specific and usual for communication. and. so we'll continue to gather more information. including additional studies and we'll keep them in the very close monitoring. well that decision seems to be good enough for a number of countries you know said that they will restart the vaccination program using astra zeneca from friday including here in france with the french prime insist saying that he will himself have the vaccine to morrow to show everybody how safe it is now this is though going to be the big issue the issue of trust there was already questions over astra zeneca safety over the last 1 few weeks there is

now me even more mistrust following this latest week and there's concerns over whether or not it caused blood clots here in paris that trust is still something that needs to be won back. i don't trust the spanx an adult i don't know that's really true what they say with the media would no longer know what to think it would be but 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 but i don't want to dig the risk so i'm waiting a little longer with mr you never know how they made it there is a nurse she died in and took of the people who died because of it so i don't really know if it really works or not. not all countries though are accepting that

decision by the may when to stand that sweden says it's going to hold off on restarting not vaccination program with astra zeneca following the death of a woman in the country who died a week after receiving the job she was said to be reportedly healthy at the time of having that job so they're going to take a few more days to have a look at that before they make that decision now astra zeneca in europe is seen as being one of the large pillars of trying to speed up the vaccination program is something that's been painfully slow so we know that just even a few days of not using that vaccine means that they will be a prolonged. out here in the european union for vaccines and already being approved but we know that there are calls for the a.m.a. to speed up its approval of other vaccines particularly this but nick v. the russian vaccine calls from. regional leaders saying that they want that back

seemed to be used for them to be able to speed up the process and also that call coming from the austrian chancellor sebastian kurtz. concerning sputnik v. and other vaccines i strongly insist that the relevant e.u. bodies issue an authorization for c. . vaccines as soon as possible the more vaccines we have the better. well e.u. countries are now facing us the wave of the covert 19 pandemic with the restrictions being put in place also hearing on thursday that there will be new restrictions here in france the 16 departments including here in paris that will see a 4 week long confinement so this is an issue that is still going it's no since the pandemic hit the shores here and it really feels as if the e.u. is still nowhere near from being out of the woods live from the french capital charlotte to bring us right up to date thank charlotte a. lot of european 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 other nations we look into a mirror we see ourselves that we impose on others what we see in ourselves when i was a child and we had arguments in the courtyard we were saying fences off me and sticks to you and it's not just the children saying the meaning is very deep. 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 only see that the united states government wants to maintain so it's in relations with those but on the issues of interest to the united states itself and on the way they think we're 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 will work with them but in areas that are of interest to us and on terms that benefit 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. and 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 the reasons only this time around we're talking about 2020 elections not 2016 and i would say hard 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 it 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 to you and i quote dead and. geopolitical analyst putting henningsen journalist neil clark both believe us the pomus he has reached an all time low but i 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 certainly because when you think of biden's record when we talk about killers and we talk about deaths well he just about every walk of it so to have 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 the top these officers were told don't trump is the law 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 weston. well 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 not the alter of trained that's what the u.k. foreign secretary has been accused of buying campaigners after a leaked recording revealed he wants the u.k.

to strike deals with countries regardless of their opinion 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 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 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 a pledge bringing to force the united kingdom's 1st we're told in this 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 or britain has 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 us capital punishment all in india in 2020 there were over 1300 deaths into custody we spoke to the director of global justice no he said he wasn't surprised by dominic rob's 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 government of closed it so there are backbenchers don't trust them not to do trade deals with countries that are committing genocide acts of 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 paper 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 heads along america's southern border are calling on the government to step in the region faces a record influx of migrants the u.s. border patrol is struggling to provide a secure a shelter for thousands of people the murder 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. southern states including ours oh now alabama borne the brunt of the migrant influx a recent poll suggests there's growing doubts about the ability of the authorities to cope with the situation in the us mexico border amid the pandemic the by did ministration has deployed the disaster agency fema to deal with the situation despite out being beyond their remit america chris riggs again believes the federal government wasn't prepared for such a surge in migrant numbers. there is definitely the concern.

how that it's 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 'd will start testing and 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 the simplest and i'm none of this on border patrol i put this 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. bases are coming up in russia is marking 87 on the 1st 3 all that's reunification with crimea but president putin stressing the historical significance the region holds for the

nation and that story and more coming your way from the.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful it's very critical. to sit down and talk. hello again russia is celebrating the 7th anniversary of reunification with crimea after months of political turmoil and civil unrest in ukraine more than 96 percent in 2014 voted to break away and rejoin mainland russia can tell us how the day today is being. the biggest and loudest celebrations as

usual war of course rocking the cities of crimea itself but here in moscow something special was happening at the biggest arena of the capital luzhniki where a lot of our putin gave a very emotional speech but the president didn't only congratulate crimean for a vast majority of locals there this day march 18th and 2040 was the happiest day as most of them say in years or decades the russian president also sent an emotional message to the whole of russia and to the rest of the world reminding everyone where the crimean peninsula belongs as he sees it or at the sure you put as you have seen 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 map you see that crimea is just the dogs and yet we're talking about

the restoration of historical fairness we're talking about the importance of this land to our country and our people. so most of the russian leaders speech was about the deep historic connections that date back 2 centuries ago the russian president also talked about the blood of russian and then soviet soldiers that was being spilled so often as they were losing their lives to protect the peninsula from invaders now for many of the world especially the western world what happened 7 years ago in 24 seeing is seen as something controversial or outright unlawful but i can tell you that the foreigners most of them who have visited crimea and 2014 most of them did change their mind after talking 'd to the law because what i always say the most important thing for the understanding is speaking to the locals

in the year 2014 ukraine was engulfed in violent protests led by ukrainian nationalists which ended up it a coup in kiev and as a result of this the peninsula which is mostly populated by ethnic russians decided that it doesn't want to be a part of ukraine any longer which explains the result of the referendum that took place in march more than 96 percent voting in favor of rejoining russia so ever since then march the 18th is being celebrated as the university of the reunification and like i said it's a very special day for crimea and the whole of russia indeed too well ahead of the anniversary i. spoke to one of the most prominent figures of the time the sky and i she served in ukraine's prosecutor's office before reunification but was

fired for supporting the referendum on sky went on to become prosecutor general of the region and is known for her leading role in a number of anti corruption cases. 7 years have passed do you regret anything. like that in the referendum you know definitely you know i'm sure crime means feel things are better in reality different things but 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 swaptions for you how did the mood change in general i remember the joy with which crimea joined but what 7 years later do they now thinking crimea about this obviously some new understanding is come. no pride in the referendum but a desire 5 to establish a dialogue with ukraine on the rights of the crimean people effected no question but of course they are affected because crimea got some kind of fees or to go

somewhere crimea or special people with a special status quo limited and rise the tie available 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 for the most part is how can this happen. and i've gotten that probably on no one it's not just moscow and kiev being listened to there is also a need to ask crimean stem cells like what happened here they say you have been annexed and we would say to the international community dear colleagues fellow citizens friends were not and that we were stupidly abandoned in 24 to those people who seized power in kiev forced us into holden and 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. returning to an earlier story in the program with europe's coded vaccine dogged by supply trouble some are looking further afield to get their job they are getting creative a number of a toyota entrepreneurs are aiming to launch a vaccination tours through russia earlier this month for a number of you countries in deals to produce russia's sputnik veto but they're all still waiting on the blocks regulator to approve the drug or to caught up with the italian travel agent behind the vaccine tours. in the euro pride to now. campaign is going very slowly the people who

have been vaccinated are all part of the population but you know. they need the age of the population the 304050 years older that want to be bastin it back to maybe they have to wait 5 or 6 months we have not the logistics program about these distribution and 2nd seed before and they don't want to be basking in the sound bite of the population don't want to give us a good week to beat fat man. but you've. seen secretaries mass i want office staff to where for a lot of my requests to keep this week the russian ambassador is so we started to speak with our russian 5 to the east where possible in the near future. the props life every story of the day thousands of pensioners in moscow care homes have received the sputnik the vaccine 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. she has been living here for a long time hen she's a new 104 years old when the vaccination was in 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 to. born the year of the russian revolution a lot of women well if you'd like to have your say in any of those stories why not do it you'll find a comment section of stories on our t.v. dot com always good to hear what you're thinking they're seeing

a bit. the . debate is is it fair for transforming our plates to compete in women's categories and sport. as a society we have decided to categorize sports based on sex i definitely need to do not think that it's fair for athletes step on porn as pie logical males to compete in the women's category tom come on. why do we have gender in sport do you have gender categories in sport because we do treat men and women differently.

every single soul beat athletes will we all have biological advantages over each other. are the thing means a lot to me and i think friends are the supreme need a little there is a goal to do it. and develop confidence and belief in myself and i've learned the value of hard work and dedication and gunned down a little that these men say that they feel like a lot of it and they will not ever know what it's like to feel the loss of the baby her maybe biological every home of these that they will never do they really think this is fair. i just don't believe at least. las vegas was the last resort it was like tombstone territory where old outlaws go

to die. the mob was real generous with everything they gave the rooms away the drinks the way. they were concerned about just making money on the gamble tables. food rooms and all that was just seen as the service to keep the machines turning and you always felt welcome even if you were poor because you were all poor old walked out the door for the most part you could lose all the money that you had and you'd be conned dinners and breakfasts is in rooms and everybody was a high roller when they came to vegas you come back near the next year and blow your money again the main one was skinny and the mobsters a kick to their turf to the extent that they didn't want to draw attention and the street criminals drew attention so they stopped or got a matter cherry put in a shallow grave over in san bernardino county the old b. didn't allow street crime when the mob veranda town people didn't lock their doors at night it was considered to be a safe town.
