t international i'm donald quarter with here in the studio welcome. italy's new prime minister says rome will be forced to make its own decision on the use of the russian covert vaccines if it's not approved by the european medicines agency here's peter all over. mario druggies not long been in the job as a tally and prime minister but already he's facing a real crisis as the country stares down a or uneasy sense of deja vu when it comes to covert 19 it was a year ago that italy was at the very forefront of the virus arriving in europe and right now intensive care beds in the country are filling up at an alarming rate as fears of a 3rd wave of the virus have become a reality now that is prompted mr druggy to say that should european one for all and all for one procurement measures not be doing the job he thinks they should be then italy will go out on its own and look after itself and that could include

turning to russia's sputnik vaccine even if the european medicines agency doesn't give it approval let's order sputnik be and see what happens if you're a peon coordination especially in health care does not work we have to be ready to act on our own and it's not only me saying this chancellor merkel told me that if the european medicines agency certifies sputnik be then ok but if it does not germany will do so itself this is normal pragmatism we have to work on the basis of european unity but if it's not achieved we have to try other ways vaccination was also top billing for angle a merkel if she wrapped up a summit with the leaders of germany 16 states. local g.p.'s are going to be able to give out the job here from the end of april this vaccinations summit also saw the chancellor talk about russia's sputnik v. job she said that should the may not give it the approval anytime soon that germany

would still be looking to go out on its own and taint sputnik the us in also send him stuff as fired the russian vaccine is concerned have held the view for some time that we should use each of the facts and that is approved by the. imagine says agence singh but if a new such european or a do or mate and i have seen no indication that it will be german you would have to go it alone that is a possibility and this would do. well there were some reports on friday morning that a facility in budden vote and book in germany was being prepared in order to be the site for production of sputnik the jobs inside the european union it's understand may rely on the job getting the approval from the european medicines agency under merkel wasn't just talking about the sputnik job though she also spoke about astra zeneca as vaccine said that she would take the vaccine herself this comes after a difficult week for astra zeneca earlier we saw around 20 nations

suspend the use of astra zeneca jobs over fears related to blood clots on thursday the european medicines agency gave a extensive press conference in which they said that the risks from any type of blood clot were far outweighed by the protection against covert 19 that the astra zeneca vaccine provides while the majority of those that had placed a suspension on the use of astra zeneca resumed using it following that announcement from the a denmark finland norway of all said they want more information before they'll resume use of astra zeneca due to several serious cases of norway you would want to thoroughly review the situation before we make a conclusion across the world we are looking at a real mixed bag some countries taking leaps and strides ahead when it comes to vaccinating their citizens while others staring down the barrel of

a 3rd wave of covert 90. sweden is among the countries continuing to hold back on using the astra zeneca vaccine that's despite the company being partly based in the country sweden's national medicines regulator has stressed it's a precautionary measure while cases of blood clots within the country are being investigated and epidemiology professor we heard from thinks the e m a report has nothing to do with potential side effects of the astra zeneca vaccine . well that's happened in sweden and that their authority sort of identified some cases still or would use neal it's a difference in the interim and what is important to do to students here is that when when be in a say that. or instance or. northstar norm. and not how your police are receiving to percent of. the she's not the case of these sequences. side effects that being them describing yes and that

doesn't mean is it compulsory for the authority to instill to dig the kosher. even moment the sudanese government's changes to him or the sudan and these store whether or how to introduce the decorous each of us in sunday with the doobie and unity and so. beautiful some to do with different actors here so that's what happened over in the u.k. the uptake of the astra zeneca vaccine has been widespread in comparison in europe but a british nurse did tell us many people are there are still reluctance to get the shot people were concerned about the speed at which the facts in nations we develop say that's now compounded with tools and concerns of round up blood clots in the connection with the these brain blood clots that can develop or that you know this

is fission that they made to fend off to these particular that sedation had a conversation yesterday as a patient who actually said that he would not be getting that one and he has and now going on to prefer a different brand of vaccination because he's lost confidence in that one. prime minister boris johnson was given the astra zeneca shot earlier on friday and urged others to do the same but bennett again thinks members of the public are right to be cautious but i think did the concerns of warrant as we are because we don't really want to be gambling with people's lives you know it's not and it was enough to look around this speed at which the facts intentions what defendant so there isn't of couldn't soon. you know how safe are the facts and now be it you know i just i just hope that every something keep nice. u.k.

government plan to process asylum seekers in overseas territories has sparked anger gibraltar and the isle of man are believed to be the 2 options to which migrants could go before potentially being sent back to their original countries locals local authorities however say they want nothing to do with the scheme though boris johnson has defended the idea. the objective here is to is to save life and avert human misery because people are crossing the channel who are being who are being conned by gangsters into paying huge sums of money risking their lives people have died beaking this trying to make this crossing and it is a deeply repugnant traffic that we need to stop well that idea was 1st suggested by pretty little the home secretary amid the escalating migrant crisis though at the time it was branded a sick joke however that idea has now resurfaced from the prime minister barak

johnson well critics have long said that this kind of policy will only make the journey all the more risky and that the government should really be prioritizing legal alternatives and safe passages for migrants to enter the united kingdom but on this latest policy they've branded as exacerbating the hostile environment it is an inhumane paula said that undermines our nation's proud tradition of providing protection to people fleeing persecution and terror many of whom have gone on to work as doctors and nurses in the n.h.s. these absurd ideas show the government has lost control and all sense of compassion well even the united nations has waded into this latest plan of shipping asylum seekers and refugees to remote areas in exchange for cash by calling it a risk to roading international protection for refugees but at this point we have heard from some of those remote territories british remote territories are saying they're having none of it along with ideas to build

a road tunnel under the irish sea or a bridge above it this latest idea simply as to the rich tapers tree of life we're dealing with at present april the 1st isn't until next month but nonetheless the idea is expected to be included in policy papers as of next week as part of a wider shake up of asylum for more than a post for accept britain for the situation is looking critically. for asylum seekers here in the united kingdom in fact right now asylum seekers are being housed in temporary accommodation including former military barracks that have long been described as a prison like we've seen outbreaks and temptingly. hygiene facilities as well which is also met huge criticism from charities organizations and the labor party as well it seems as though the case all of a side and seek is has long been a thorn in the compliment side and so now this latest idea to ship them off to remote territories seems as though the government is changing its tactic of lock them up and throw away the key to out of sight out of mind lecture in migration

policy at the london school of economics joseph downing believe such an off offshore processing plan is misguided. he's referencing people trafficking in criminal gangs which are important right people reach me as they are in people reaching the whole of europe but whether sticking with asylum seekers the process the on of manageable sort of save lives about 100 g.'s there's a logic in terms of trying to trying to stop losing people in the general population right this is basically what's happened in the past 1520 years here in the u.k. when people saw the trains have been rejected the rates of deportation are extreme need is extremely expensive it should be difficult extremely cumbersome and the idea between behind this policy is essentially to isolate people in remote areas so easy it's a survey and the easy answer remains now how you would get people from the mainland

u.k. . also the art of mine without significant issues that's the bit for me that remains to be seen and i don't see there being a clear call for the british government to do that. denmark has proposed legislation to reduce the number of quote non-western residents in neighborhoods to a maximum of 30 percent within a decade out of denmark a population of just under 6000000 people around half a 1000000 are now in western migrants or the descendants of immigrants that's about 9 percent of the population there have been mixed reactions to these plans as daniel hawking's explains. multiculturalism means different things to different people and has been described by bullet oceans as both a strength and a force for good and a failed experiment bringing more problems than solutions the danish government has its own view and vision of the future when many non-western immigrants settle in certain residential areas it increases the risk of create in parallel religious and

cultural societies therefore the government will now work to create a mixed house in areas and ensure that in 10 years residents with non-western backgrounds make up a maximum of 30 percent in our house in areas in denmark to be classed as a ghetto an area must have a high number of non-western migrants high unemployment and crime low income and poor education an area could be all of the above yet be majority white and therefore not be classed as a ghetto by non westerners authorities mean anyone not from denmark switzerland or they eat a country's and by reducing the numbers of such undesirables in communities many of the above listed problems could apparently be solved this core foods is bald fighting. and greed in a positive development in residential areas making them more attractive to words range of the population i think 30 years may be kind of a drastic number. if i don't know maybe the saddle of with like 50 i prefer

different people living side by side but is very very difficult to implement into this is it's important that we don't push people out of their homes if i was personally known with them. they would try this way to racially divided us would i would not feel such areas in denmark already face special treatment such as doubled penalties for crimes collective punishment by a vixen mandatory language tests and training it daily should be used for kids and the limits on public housing this is a policy rooted in. prejudice and racism and when you are you know labeling as non-western which means anybody who's brown. i think is the problem probably problematic and so integration is a 2 way street it can't be the responsibility just of the people who move into any particular country and that's where european governments have built their fails to integrate minority communities because they have always seen them as they have

always seen them as not equally part of their societies similar plans came to light a few years back and caused a stir with even the un expressing his concern about what it called forced assimilation denmark isn't the only european state dealing with the issue of ghettoization france and neighboring sweden of had their own share of troubles there is a significant problem right across europe with the ghettoization i remember after some terror attacks in paris i went over to one of your states on the outskirts of town which was predominantly muslim now there's nothing wrong with that but what you have a tendency to find this in a lot of these european cities will be the most libertarian will be the african area and the be the kind of western area and what happens is people fail to integrate now of the only slave i genuinely think that the problem here is that we have less it too many immigrants to your approach you quickly pause while 6 isn't a perfect solution you can understand where it comes from copenhagen to set an

ambitious and i'm president of plan to tackle a political football head on other countries will watch closely to see it sink or swim. still ahead 2 months after donald trump departed the white house it seems he took the viewer as a news networks with him after the latest figures show c.n.n. plummeting in the ratings more on that after the break. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being

led somewhere. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallowness. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back to the program now it seems the post from white house is proving something of a turnoff quite literally ratings have been released showing that the news network

c.n.n. has lost almost half of its primetime audience following the former president's departure from office almost 2 and a half 1000000 viewers were tuning in daily between november 4th election date and joe biden's inauguration day in january after that the numbers dropped significantly down 47 percent in the key demographic of 25 to 54 year olds media legal analyst lionel believes donald trump was the golden goose when it came to the media's ratings it's the only reason they existed every day people would tune in to hear the anti trump rhetoric but also to listen to what insane connections they can make between everything and trump and it was it was brutal it was exciting it was it was it was interesting catch don this is just reality who wants to hear i didn't tire day a program you say wasn't that fantastic did you notice the show to chewed did you

notice how great this president was when he's not and meanwhile fox and newsmax to an extent an o.e.m. and others are enjoying incredible ratings because they can turn that venom and excitement against the biden administration what i think people want to hear more than anything else is is confrontation but if somebody said we really are going to give you an honest to god fair and balanced attack an appraisal they would love it we live in a world now of social media of trolling of immediate reaction there's no such thing as milk toast they could have done wonders by attacking if you will and. who deserved attacking but what they are is these are apparatchiks these are shot puppets for the democratic party and everybody knows that but now that there's no trump to attack there's nothing there. the kremlin has repeated its offer

to washington for a live broadcast of meeting between the presidents of both nations vladimir putin has been trying to return to diplomacy following joe biden's killer comments earlier this week as taylor reports. well we all know that moscow and washington are no strangers to tense relations but many had hoped that this was a thing of the past however of recent days seem to show that very little has changed since the cold war the same suspicions the same war of words are alive and well decades on and in fact in a sign that such an impossible breaking point has been reached moscow was forced to admit that despite its best efforts and despite its hopes to the contrary the might be no option but to relive a kind of through back to the low points of the past of course we always hope for the best and prepare for the worst the president has clearly expressed his desire to maintain relations between russia and the u.s.

no matter works because he's not only in our interest but the entire world's most why is such a resigned tone from the kremlin well just to recap quickly you argued this week on national television president biden essentially called vladimir putin's a killer a shocking statement that was unprecedented in its lack of diplomacy unfounded in its lack of evidence and really unexpected given moscow's insistence over the years that a wants to work with the washington and in keeping with this tradition despite that remarkable comment from his american counterpart vladimir putin reiterated russia's readiness to cooperate with all countries of the world including the u.s. but washington stopped by its guns person by the way going forward but you. know the president gave a direct answer to a direct question i would say that the president already had a conversation already with president putin even as there are more world leaders

that he has not yet engaged with and reengage with russian leaders and members of the government at all levels but i don't have anything to report to you in terms of a future meeting the president will. first be in georgia tomorrow and quite busy we seem to be saying a never admit never apologize policy regardless of the consequences for must go more and all of branch an attempt to defuse the escalating situation in fact of the admin page and did even suggest a quite unique a more sort of malton format for them to hash out their differences a one on one live streamed discussion between the 2 leaders where people from all over the world can tune in and watch them discussing a variety of political issues and he said that while he's away in siberia this weekend that's the only time he's not available otherwise he's ready to go but apparently joe biden wasn't a fan of the idea mr president a lot of the oval office would you agree with. and it's not just

biden turning his back on this invitation the white house has not responded to an official request which moscow and top rejection but it is important to note that whilst this might seem somewhat pay for maybe even a touch funny it was a very serious suggestion a serious suggestion for a serious situation because with washington apparently refusing to engage in any kind of dialogue pursuing this provocative rhetoric with the russian ambassador to the u.s. also having been recalled for talks there is absolutely no doubt that relations between the 2 countries are under exceptional strain at the moment. the european union has pledged to slash its greenhouse gas emissions by half over the coming decade but the move will come at a cost the european commission chief says the price tag will be hundreds of billions of euros. we want to take green financing to the next level.

because to achieve 2030 go alone we need to boost green investment we know that we will have to invest around 3350000000000 euros more. in the energy system in the coming decade to make it sustainable the international renewable energy agency has given its own assessment of how much needs to be spent to keep a rise in global temperatures to under 1.5 degrees celsius by 2015 after the numbers were crunched that figure is $33.00 trillion dollars on top of the currently projected investment of $98.00 trillion so that's an extra trillion dollars per year to fund the global switch from fossil fuels all this at a time of global under spending on infrastructure a study backed by the g 20 estimates an extra 15 trillion dollars will have to be spent mostly on transport over the coming years earlier we discussed the climate

crisis and government spending plans with a financial journalist and an environmental scientist. at the same time that was spending the money we're creating green jobs so think beef is doable it's going to be painful but in the long term it's going to benefit me is going to offset that damage that's happening to climate change right now and it's getting worse year on year on year where it is happening economic and patent storms through heat waves to move to la why is that we are painful we're now all these things have to be addressed urgently and we certainly need a plan my point is it has to do more of a long term plan than just just funding we have to have a strategy just to be long term or just this obsession with governments to do what's up there and just look for a 6 months down the line and then a year from our most people just forgot about that that applies to renewables of which i'm an investor and the pandemic and the quality in everything else that's

going on right now we really need long term plans all of these things and there is the money we just age around age accordingly so i want to see a long term strategy for renewable so that that's achievable in the same way as we . as with the pandemic and it seemed right or that's my concern it's awful diana to have to spend the time on health now or she spends time on climate change later i appreciate it is a balancing act and there's only so much money available but i think that the more money you spend tackling climate change as quickly as possible the less you can pay down the line for more details on your world news stories make sure to check out our website r.t. dot com and follow us on your favorite social media platform i'll be back with more in just about 30 minutes so do stay tuned.

americans love buying homes. 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. be really interesting to dial it 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. taste like sites or unlike hearing the brain doesn't have an organ fertility rate we have no organ for time nor could we because time isn't

a material physical substance like matter or like like so the brain has to create that perception of time. always be polite never engage with a negative a good or confrontational. don't get into any conversation or start answering questions just ask for an attorney. definitely don't want to be. one. you're more likely to walk free if you're rich. or if you work. you've got 2 eyes 2 ears and one mouth. so you should be seen here and a whole lot more than you're saying if you don't take that advice easy going to dig yourself.
