the benefits far outweigh the risks that's the ruling of the european medicines agency on the astra zeneca cope with vaccine days after countries had suspended it made blood clot fear also ahead. just in with when i was a child and we had arguments in the court you know he was saying benches off me and sticks to you a lot of your putin response to joe biden branding him a killer in a recent t.v. interview we contrast the american president's words to his recent promise that diplomacy is back. and the democrat run u.s. house of representatives rules to hand to what a half 1000000 on documented 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 your top news stories donald quarter welcome to the program. the european medicines agency has ruled that astra zeneca coronavirus vaccine is safe and effective and it comes after a number of countries suspended its use over concerns about blood clots and even something taleb so long those who had received the shot artie's charlotta been ski reports. well almost a clean bill of health care european medicines agency to astra zeneca what she deemed to be safe and effective for the use against. saying that once again the benefits outweigh the risks in using that despite seeing the records 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 could defend it 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 from asian also given to health care professionals who got this job to make sure that they could mitigate any impacts if they see them this is what the year may had to say after days of in-depth analysis of lab clinical reports autopsy reports and further information from the clinical trials we still cannot. definitively link between these cases and the taxi. also still some uncertainty we have seen some very rare case people describing specific unusual. nation. and. so we'll continue to get information these conditions including additional studies and will keep them very

close. well that decision by the mayor was enough for more than a handful of european countries to say that they will start the vaccination program and we go with the french prime minister going on television on thursday evening so . that you will have the vaccine on friday to show that he trusts in it but trust is the big issue the astra zeneca now face is the already we use about its efficacy 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 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 that. the vaccine is brand new i mean we don't know

the side effects those who died but i don't want to dig their risk so i'm waiting a little longer. you never know how they made it there was a nurse she died and then top of that 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 is said that it is going to take a few days to absorb what i may said to make their own investigations and not comes off the death of a woman who was said to be in perfectly good health a week of the having vaccinations are still some questions remaining now astra zeneca is seen as being a key pillar for the. role like this vaccine vaccine program at a faster rate has been painfully slow so for now there are all calls now for the

made to look at approving vaccines on a faster level particularly cool was coming from regional leaders in germany for the a.m.a. to look at this very 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. other vaccines i strongly insist that the relevant issues. for safe vaccines as soon as possible vaccines we have the better well any countries are now facing a wave of. such they run paying 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 here in paris so really there is a huge problem still at the moment as the european union retries and is struggling

to get the vaccine up to speed here on from when the pandemic. and it. is still so for being out of the woods. earlier we spoke with political analyst nicolette markovitch on 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's a danger linked to this to this vaccine i think is very reasonable why our country is rolling out and got so much information coming out on this specific. that scene and something which is definitely 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 the sake or not despite a lot of information we're getting not only from the astra zeneca vaccine but other vaccines because of course this these are vaccines that been developed quite quickly we didn't know so much about the coated and lot of people are just

skeptical even before there was a whole a crowd of ira situation please bear in mind that the european union bought 300000000 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine in august they august so the european union committed to buy this vaccine apparently it did 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 here putin has responded to being branded a killer by his american counterpart joe biden during a recent t.v. interview artie's constantine rushkoff has been picking apart the words of the 2 world leaders your book because only. 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 in. response to this bombshell remarks made by joe biden was highly anticipated and average has been key here is swap the russian president which. 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. is that you know that the united states government wants to maintain so soon relations with those but on the issues of interest to the united states itself and on the facing just like them but with different 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 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 obgyn 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. he 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 geo political analyst patrick canning sinan journalist neil clark both believe u.s. diplomacy has reached an all time low. does 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 could get can set late 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 a close its 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 game narrative for for 5

years so it's sad but i'm not surprised 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 leaked 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 where 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 and 2020 there was recorded more than 1300 deaths in judicial custody the director of global justice now believes dominic rabs comments came as no surprise. 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 their own backbenches 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 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 credit 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 all and you could have weapons stockpile by 40 percent and this is a deeply government and you know i think a 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 this break.

taste and makes sure and like 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 a. matter or like late so the brain has to create that perception of time. welcome back to the program the 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 show palin 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's covert 900 secure the white house press secretary earlier branded it a crisis on the border but later corrected herself and described it as

a challenge now the mayor of a town in arizona did tell us that 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's growing doubts about the ability of the federal government to cope with the situation on the us mexico border amid the pandemic that biden administration has deployed the disaster agency fema to deal with the situation despite that being beyond its responsibilities there chris riggs again believes washington was not 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 on a domestic level following the storming of the capitol back in january. us racially

are authentically motivated violent extremists who promote the superiority of the white race other activists with the most persistent and concern in transnational connections we assess that a small number of us racially or i think the motivated violent extremists have travelled abroad to network with like minded individuals this week the us 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 the former president barack obama tweeted about the alarming rise in asian violence over police quoted the suspect as saying that the race was not a motivation behind these attacks political commentator lauren chan believes the media has been obscuring the meaning of white supremacy by using that 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. russia's been marking the 7th anniversary of its reunification with crimea in 2014 more than 96 percent of the people there voted to

break away and rejoin mainland russia following months of political turmoil and civil unrest in ukraine with all those details here's our to use alien for trying. 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 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 the sure but 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 up 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 seeing 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 ukraine was engulfed in violent protests led by ukrainian nationalists which ended up in 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 to have the

anniversary artes and tom christoph ski spoke with natalee. she served in ukraine's prosecutor's office but was fired for supporting the referendum but went on to become 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 oh. my god anything about the referendum you know definitely you know if you're going means 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. to me is me needed that and how did the 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 is come you.

know pride in the referendum but a desire 5 to establish a dialogue with ukraine but how the rights of the crimean people affected no question but isn't there 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 because of the most but it's how can this happen. and i get an a probably only when it's not just moscow in kiev being listened 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 stupidly abandon in 2014 those people who seized power in kiev forced us into holding a referendum we defended our allies and turned to lodgment putin and we were really hoping that she would not abandon us because they had already abandoned us in key if he didn't abandon us videos of the crimea reunification celebrations make sure to check out our t.v. on you tube at our website r.t. dot com i'll be back with more news in just about 30 minutes and i hope to see them . banks figure out new ways to rip people off they get caught and what they do is they change the law introduce new laws and if there is any problem they just longer and it. looks like that big american game of fraud which is the american business

model is coming to an end. americans love buying homes. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country a large understood the bargain you get a home and then you know rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. the really interesting back and think about the longer deeper history housings men in the united states not just that question of the american dream the bigger question of who the dream is for.

seemed wrong. to me to be yet to shape out these days to come to educate and gain from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. this is boom bust no one business show you can support a missed branch of war in washington coming up we have a special show today on the recent advancements in space exploration in an industry that was almost exclusive to governments the private sector has picked up in recent years we'll go over who the big players are.
