the benefits far outweigh the risks that's the ruling of the european medicines agency on the astra zeneca coated vaccine days after countries had suspended a made blood clot fears also ahead. if you do it when i was a child and we had arguments in the courtyard he was saying to me and sticks to you . a lot of your put in response to joe biden branding him a killer in a recent t.v. interview we contrast the american presidents words to his recent promise that diplomacy is back. and the democrat run the u.s. house of representatives rules to hand to a half 1000000 undocumented migrants the chance to get citizenship under a new dreamers bill.

all over the world every hour of the day this is our t. international bringing you the top news stories i'm donald corder welcome to the program. the european medicines agency has ruled that astra zeneca corona virus vaccine is safe and effective it comes after a number of countries suspended its use over concerns about blood clots and even some fatalities among those who had received the shot. well almost a clean bill of health care from boeing the european medicines agency to astra zeneca what she deemed to be safe and effective for the use against kobe growing teen saying that once again the benefits outweigh the risks in using that despite seeing the records to her blood clots which is what they were investigating they said that there was no so you see overall with an increased number of blood clots

but they said that they couldn't defend it so if we rule this out and as such astra zeneca will now come with a warning for those who have the job that this could be one of the side effects who are from asian also given to health care professionals who don't live without this job to make sure that they can mitigate any impacts if they see them this is what the a.m.a. had to say after days of in-depth analysis of lab. reports reports and further information from the clinical trials we still cannot. definitively link between these cases and the taxi. we have seen some very rare case people describing specific and usual. and. so we'll continue to get information these conditions including additional studies and we'll keep them very close monitoring well that

decision by the mayor was enough for more than a handful of european countries to say that they will restart the vaccination program and we go with the french prime minister going on television on thursday evening saying that he will have the vaccine all friday to show that he trusts in that trust is the astra zeneca now face is the already we're is about to africa see you for only the persons at the present michael discussed that several weeks ago and here in paris. there is still a lot of trust to be. honest i don't trust the spanx an adult i don't know if it's really true what they say with the media would no longer know what to think it would be 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 that. the vaccine is brand new i mean we don't know

the side effects. those who died but i don't want to take the risk so i'm waiting a little longer. mr you know of a know how they made it there is a nurse she died and took of the people who died because of it so i don't really know if it really works or not however that clean bill of health wasn't enough for some countries sweden has said that it is going to take a few days to absorb what i may said and make their own investigations and not comes off the death of a woman who is said to be in perfectly good health. the having the facts and nations are still some questions remaining now astra zeneca is seen as being a pillar for the new role like this vaccine that same program at a faster rate has been painfully slow so far and there are calls now to be made to look at approving vaccines or

a faster level particularly cool is coming from regional leaders in germany for the a.m.a. to look at the vaccine from russia we heard from the european commissioner for internal trade a wednesday saying that he thought it was a good vaccine that cool was also echoed by the austrian chancellor sebastian kurtz concerning sputnik vi and other vaccines i strongly insist that the relevant e.u. bodies issue now with rice asian food safe vaccines as soon as possible the more vaccines we have the better. any countries are now facing a wave of. sr now such they run putting up restrictions once again we've heard on thursday evening that france will now put 16 departments into a 4 week lockdown that includes that of the region in paris so really there is a huge problem still at the moment as the european union really tries and is struggling to get that vaccine up to speed on from when the pandemic hit tel shores

and it seems as if they are still so full of being out of the woods earlier we spoke with political analyst nicola mark of a child whether the shots roll out is moving a little too fast we've got specialists we've got a researcher saying that there's a hazard there is a danger leads to this so this vaccine i think is very reasonable why are countries rolling out or got so much information coming out on this specific. that scene and something which is deaf and not safe and it's not giving good reputation to the vaccine because people are feeling in the west that we're forcing some of these rats down their throats or at least in the jabs and they don't even know if this is sacred not despite a lot of the information we're getting not only from the astra zeneca vaccine but other vaccines because of course this is a disease a vaccine that been developed quite quickly we didn't know so much about the code and lot of people are just skeptical even before there was a whole a crowd of ira situation please very mind that the european union bought 300000000

doses of the astra zeneca vaccine in august the august so the european union committed to buy this vaccine parity is not enough tests i've never got to know if it was safe or not and there's a lot of money behind all this to get a. lot of your putin has responded to being branded a killer by his american counterpart joe biden during a recent t.v. interview artie's constantine also called has been picking apart the words of the 2 leaders. yeah because only. look as i would wish him good health i'm not joking i mean it secondly i want to say that's 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 we impose on others what we see in ourselves when i was a child and we had arguments in the court yard 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 here is swap 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 led everyone know that he is under no illusion about the nature of the u.s. policy towards russia. it is the only state 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 face 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 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 he's going to pay will you will 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 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 and i quote dead and . your political analyst patrick henningsen and journalist neil clark both believe u.s. diplomacy has reached an all time low. i think that president putin comes out of this whole exchange with tremendous credit he stay classy is the 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 when we talk about killers and we talk about deaths well he just about support 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 the company's office we were told don't trump was the one who is putting 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. well we took atlanta says 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 at the altar of trade that's what the u.k. foreign secretary has been accused of after a lead to recording revealed that he wants the u.k. to strike deals with countries regardless of their human rights records. 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 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 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. u.k. has trade deals worth billions of pounds with countries at the top of the human rights violations list in the last 4 years saudi arabia carried out more than 500 brutal executions as capital punishment while in india in 2020 there were recorded more than 1300 deaths in judicial custody the director of global justice now believes dominick robb's comments come as no surprise. 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 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 a basic human rights freezone and dominic grabs response to democracy apparently being in retreat around the world seems to be a democracy should also be in retreat in this country because the 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 and you could have weapons stockpile by 40 percent this is a deeply 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 i'm british trans national

corporations around the world. welcoming the dreamers the u.s. house of representatives passes a bill that will make it possible to obtain citizenship for undocumented immigrants that story and more coming your way after the break. banks figure out new ways to rip people off they get caught and what they do is they change the law into his new laws and if there is any problem take a stand and pretend they just make the churches longer and the bonds lower but now it looks like that big american game of frog which is the american business model is coming to an end. to this summit in alaska representatives from china. and the united states will meet for the 1st time since the advent of the by ministration what kids may she expect what will washington demand can the 2 sides agreed to disagree would be

a meeting of low expectations. make taste on excite or unlike hearing the brain doesn't have an organ for tuning right we have no organ for time nor could we because time is an immaterial physical substance like matter or like like so the brain has to create the perception of time. back to the program u.s. house of representatives has passed the so-called dreamers bill which will enable millions of undocumented immigrants to obtain citizenship the law was voted in with little republican support but it means democrats can now push ahead with their future immigration plans they are making

a very big difference in how we respect the beautiful diversity of america how we respect the fact that immigration is the constant reinvigoration of america after closing the book on 4 years of disastrous cruel and inhumane immigration policies today we begin a new chapter has always been a pleasure for me to sing the praises of our dreamers they make us so proud they have in so many ways as the distinguished here has indicated. the law was passed despite calls from the authorities along the southern border for the government to intervene in the face of an unprecedented influx of migrants the situation has been complicated by the fact that thousands of people need to be provided with shelter that is covert 1000 secure the white house press secretary earlier branded it a crisis on the border before later correcting herself and describing it as a challenge but the mayor of a town in arizona told us the problem is severe 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. 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 arizona and alabama have borne the brunt of the migrant influx a recent poll suggests there is growing doubt about the ability of the federal government to cope with the situation on the us mexico border amid the pandemic by new administration has deployed the disaster agency fema to deal with the situation despite that all being beyond its responsibilities they are chris riggs again believes washington wasn't prepared for such a surge in migrant numbers. there is definitely the concern of code and how that is going to impact my community. have

a large number of seniors and elders. 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 our our citizens are protected if this is a crisis simple as that 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 for this they need to do their job they need to have a plan in place obviously there was no plan. u.s. intelligence agencies have now warned that american white supremacists are developing international links alarm bells were already going off at a domestic level following the storming of the capitol back in january u.s. racial or ethnic we motivated violent extremists who promote the superiority of the

white race other actors with the most persistent and concern in transnational connections we assess that a small number of us racially were ethnically motivated violent extremists have traveled abroad to network with like minded individuals this week the u.s. city of atlanta saw 8 people killed by a gunman in shootings at a trio of spa complexes 6 of whom were asian a number of high ranking democrats including former president barack obama tweeted about the alarming rise in asian violence over the police quoted the suspect as saying that race was not a motivation behind the attacks political commentator lauren chan believes the media has been obscuring the meaning of white supremacy by using the term where it does not apply. well i think it's very concerning over the past few years how we've seen the definition of white supremacy get watered down to the point where now the term is essentially meaningless is that unfortunately people are very very liberal

in applying the white supremacist label label where it simply does not belong and what that actually does it is it makes it harder to combat real threats there was the recent shooting where asian women were killed that is an unfortunate tragic incident yes but there is a big difference in terms of how we prevent these attacks from happening when we say that someone was attacked and they happened to be asian versus they were attacked because they were asian and sadly that is a distinction that it seems the media is increasingly unwilling to make it's gotten to the point in terms of media coverage where you would assume that there was an anti asian or white supremacist shooting every week based on how much the media focuses on it and unfortunately what we have is people like my father who is asian now even scared to visit large cities because he thinks that anti asian sentiment is that bad which is not the case f.b.i. statistics show that asian americans are the least likely group to have hate crimes committed against them. bush has been marking the 7th anniversary of reunification with crimea in 2014 more than 96 percent of people there voted to break away and

rejoin mainland russia following months of political turmoil and civil unrest in ukraine with all the details here. 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 802040 was the happiest day as most of them say in the years or decades the russian president also sent and then motional message to the whole of russia and to the rest of the world reminding everyone aware of the crimean peninsula belongs as he sees it the sure but as 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 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 and 24th thing is seen as something controversial or outright unlawful but i can tell you that the foreigners most of them who have visited crimea in 2014

most of them did change their mind after talking 'd to the law schools because what i always say the most important. thing for the understanding is speaking to the locals in the year 2014 crane was engulfed in violent protests led by ukrainian nationalists which ended up in a coup in kiev and as a result of this. which is mostly populated by ethnic russians decided that it doesn't want to be a part of ukraine any wonga 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 to the head of the

anniversary artes and spoke to natalia. she served in ukraine's prosecutor's office but was fired for supporting the referendum went on to become the prosecutor general of the region and is known for her leading role in a number of anti corruption cases we should be up to 7 years have passed do you regret anything. i'm not going to say on the referendum you know definitely you know that ukrainians feel things are better in reality different things than the crimean referendum here's the date of the anniversary of the crimean referendum we are all happy because we defined as something of dollars we had one goal we were moving towards this noble goal talk to me is me needed that and how did the mood change in general i remember the joy with which crimea joined but what 7 years later do they know thinking crimea about this obviously some new understanding has come. no pride in the referendum but a desire to establish

a dialogue with ukraine how the rights of the crimean people effected no question but isn't it 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 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 war it and people are waiting to begin to leave normally like everyone else for the most part is how can this happen and the good and the 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 dear colleagues fellow

citizens friends we're not and next we're stupid live bandon in 2014 those people who seized power in kiev forced us into holding a referendum we defended our lives 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 for videos of the crimea reunification celebrations make sure to check out our 2 on you tube and our website r.t. dot com i'll be back with more news in just about 30 minutes and i hope to see you then. americans love by and. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get

a hope and then you know rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. and be really interesting to dial it back and think about the longer deeper history housings men in the united states not just that old question of the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream is and for . its seemed wrong. just don't hold. any belief yet to shape out these days become educated and in the game equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground.

always gauge with a. question just. to survive and. you're more likely to walk free if you're rich and. if you're poor. you got. one now. so you should be seen in a whole lot more than you're saying if you don't take that advice.
