italy and germany consider breaking ranks with the european union and using russia sputnik v. even if the european regulators doesn't give approval. to british controlled territories rejected government plans to send migrants step of processing the u.k. opposition brands the idea inhumane and ridiculous. that's what joe biden hints that the rise in hate crimes against asians in america was stirred up by his previous the mainstream media are also piling blame on the from the country's. other thanks so much for joining us this saturday morning lots of places you could

be i know appreciate your company. at least the prime minister says that rome will be forced to make its own decision on the use of a suspect in the job if it's not approved by the european medicines agency that's after trust in the astra zeneca job in europe has been shaken following recent safety concerns peter oliver expects. drug he's not been long in the job as a tally in prime minister but he's already leading a country that's got an uneasy sense of deja vu at the moment when it comes to covert 19 it was just over a year ago that italy was at the very tip of the spear when it came to the coronavirus of driving. and now we're seeing intensive care beds in italy filling up at an alarming rate as fears of a 3rd wave have become reality mario draghi has said that he will operate an act outside of the use one for all and all for one for cumin program if it gets what italy. let's order sputnik be and see what happens if europe be in 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 german chancellor angela merkel has also been talking about vaccines she was speaking after a summit between the federal government here in berlin and the leaders of germany 16 states vaccination dominating those talks and local doctors here will start to be able to give out the jobs in germany at the end from the end of april now under merkel also spoke about russia's sputnik of a vaccine and she said that whether or not it gets approval from the european medicines agency she expects the see it being used here in germany in the fight

against corona virus for us and also sent him stuff under long as fire the russian vaccine is concerned i have held the view for some time that we should use each of x. and that is approved by the european medicines agence singh but if a new such european order were made and i have seen no indication that it will be germany would have to go it alone that is a possibility and this what we would do. as the head of the berlin branch of the german red cross i hear that many scientists from the berlin charity clinic say that their research documents the studies available about the give a positive impression vaccination is the only serious way to fight covert 19 and my demands are demand is the following we is the german bread cross or impartial and do not interfere in political issues but we would like a non ideological decision on vaccines to be made and then everything that is scientifically be. it is allowed in germany and on the european market this applies

to us and to me and to the sputnik v. in this sense there should be no ideological or geopolitical reasons that would dictate selective behavior and my impression is that at least here in germany there's not enough information for scientists to study it properly in recent weeks and days this is change in the most fundamental way and i hear that opinions of many doctors and pharmacists who've been working on this topic including from the eminent charity that splitting v can be trusted and that if the a and relevant departments fail to approve it they will lose people's trust on friday morning there were reports coming out here in germany that a facility in boston verdant book was being prepared as a potential site to produce sputnik v. in europe that if it gets approval from the european medicines agency now the german chancellor wasn't just talking about the sputnik vaccine while she was speaking to the press on friday evening she also talked about the astra zeneca

vaccine said she would take that astra zeneca job herself it's been a tough week for astra zeneca 20 e.u. nations and european nations suspended the use of the vaccine over potential links or concerns over potential links to blood clots in relation to those who've had the job the european medicines agency gave an extensive press conference on thursday in which they said the benefits of taking the astra zeneca coronavirus in preventing covert 19 far outweighed any potential risks now that saw a number almost all of those countries that had carried out this is spent of astra zeneca resume using the astra zeneca vaccine however denmark finland norway of all said they're going to hold off reintroducing it norway saying they need more information do you to several serious cases in norway would want to thoroughly review the situation before. make a conclusion there is

a real mixed state of affairs at the moment with some countries around the world taking strides and leap said when it comes to vaccinating their populations while others staring down the barrel of a 3rd way of coping 90. sweden is among the countries that are yet to lift the suspension on the astra zeneca vaccine the country's national medicines regulator stressed it's a precautionary measure all cases of blood clots are investigated and epidemiology professor gave us his opinion on the a.m.a.'s decision to approve the rest as an acute jab well that's happened in sweden that they were thrown into fide some cases so all of this new it's a difference in the interim and what is important to do here is that when we're going to be in a say that. or instance or or. north star not to.

and not have your leisure receive intimacy in that relation with the she's not the case of the sequence. if it's that to be describing it's. don't miss compulsory for the authorities to take it it's. kosher. even moment the government's changes to him or the store whether or how to introduce precision of the person some day where we're due to be on duty and so. beautiful some to do receive a different actress here so that's what happened. a british government plan to process asylum seekers in overseas territories is sparked down gibraltar and the isle of man are believed to be 2 options to which migrants could go before potentially being sent back to their original countries local authorities

over say they want nothing to do with the scheme or the 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 brutal 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 'd 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 falls in

a post for xcept britain so 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 army military barracks that have long been described as a prison like we've seen outbreaks and totally. hygiene facilities there as well which is also met huge criticism from charities organizations and the labor party as well it seems as though the case of asylum seekers has long been a thorn in the government's 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 lecturer in migration policy at the london school of economics joseph downing believes such an offshore processing plan is misguided. he's referencing people trafficking criminal gangs which are important right people reach nikkei as they are in people reaching the

whole of europe but whether sticking with asylum seekers to be processed in all of manageable it will save lives about that yes 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's asylum claims have been rejected the rates of deportation are extremely low is extremely expensive it should be difficult extremely canvasser and the idea between behind this policy is essentially to isolate people in remote areas so easy so it's of the survey in an easy to remove now how you would get people from the mainland u.k. to gibraltar also the isle of man without significant issues that's the bit for me that remains to be seen and i don't see there being a clear pathway for the british government to do that. president joe biden

and is vice president governor harris have visited atlanta which recently saw mass shootings at a number of mass is in which 8 people were killed 6 of the victims were asian women biden and harris denounced the atrocities and also gave their views on what's been causing the rising levels of hate against americans asian population were already began with rory's known words have consequences. full stop for the last year we've had people in positions of incredible power scapegoating scapegoating asian americans people with the biggest part bits spreading this kind of hate. or biden and harris only hinted it who they think is to blame the mainstream media has been openly pointing the finger at the trump administration. donald trump didn't pull the trigger in atlanta but donald trump certainly was responsible for the anger in the fear in the suspicion that exists in

in great degree in this country much more so than ever in the past and it's not just the shootings in atlanta that being late trumps door. reports. it is been a tough few weeks for jew 50 days in office and the problems keep piling up fortunately and thank the polls for these even with trump gone you can still blame your problems on him the last administration left us a dismantled and unworkable system we are dedicated to achieving and quite frankly are working around the clock to replace the cruelty of the passage ministration to put it succinctly the prior administration dismantled our nation's immigration system in its entirety. a solid year democrats and biden praised migrants you remember that don't you citizenship for millions they promised within

100 days i'm going to send to united states congress a pathway to citizenship for over 11000000 undocumented people and all of those so-called dreamers those docket kids they're going to be immediately certified again to be able to stay in this country oh gosh die who could have predicted that promising millions of people potential citizenship would flood your borders with another wave of migrants more and more migrants who believed biden's populist election rhetoric and people smugglers for whom business is booming but biden apparently didn't mean everything that he said thousands of kids are still in detention centers but waiting deportation to mexico and you know what biden's white house is telling the crowds at the border who he gave so much hope to. goo way the message isn't don't come now it is don't come in this way ever do it to

come to the united states is still legal pathways then there's the pandemic which has ruined so much for all of us merica has been ravaged by couvade like nowhere else others been the disaster trumps disaster if you believe biden my predecessors my brother it's a god love of failed order and of actually has failed of all eyes the effort to administer the shots failed a set of actually centers at a certain point the trump bashing becomes too much even for the liberal press trump thought all his scenes logged operation warp speed last year under which the development of a vaccine its production and distribution were carried out at unprecedented pace that was trump that wasn't biden and even the pundits agreed even the media acknowledges a trumpet ministrations role in spearhead in the development and procurement but

president biden refuses to say the truth is the biggest scam he's banned in taking credit for the vaccine. remember when joe biden and comma harris spent months lying about not trusting the vaccine simply because president trump spearheaded operation warp speed now they're trying to take credit for it sick people or take and he age and violence that has really had its ugly head over the last year on the one hand trump did say borderline or outright offensive things about china and others i think there's no question that some of the damaging rhetoric that we saw. during the prior administration blaming you know calling coded you know the virus or other things. led to you know perceptions of the asian american community that are inaccurate unfair have raised. you know threatening has elevated

threats on the other you just call and trust biden's honchos but it comes to trump baps responsible for the ads the asian violence that is also risen in britain and europe elsewhere and how do you blame trump for a spree of attacks in atlanta as the white house hinted when police themselves say it was sexually not racially motivated the suspect did take responsibility for the shootings he does claim that it was not racially motivated he apparently has an issue what he considers a fiction and sees these locations as something that allows him to to to go to these places and into temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate we're going to be honest here biden inherited a mess that fallow long are they going to heap sweeping all their problems under the trump rug as opposed to you know try solve them especially considering that

a significant amount of that mess and graun the democrats created themselves. recently published t.v. ratings in the united states appear to show that the post trump white house is turned off the figures show c.n.n. for example has lost almost half of its problems on the audience following the former president's departure from office almost 2 and a half 1000000 viewers who are tuning in daily between election day on november 4th and joe biden's inauguration day in january after the numbers drop significantly down 47 percent in the key demographic of 25 to 54 year old media and legal analyst lionel believes donald trump was a golden goose when it came to media 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 he said 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 and orient 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 thing i 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 anybody who

deserved attacking for what they are is these are apparatchiks these are shot puppets for the democratic party and everybody knows. that but now that there is no trump to. do nothing. and speaking of joe biden the president has admitted it will be tough for the u.s. to meet its deadline for pulling american troops out of afghanistan with his administration now considering a 6 month extension of their presence in the country earlier donald trump a promise to withdraw the remaining 12000 troops by may 1st the toll of the war on afghanistan civilians as being considerable. i mean and he would be either my husband was a vendor you're selling street food or the abdul her crown a bat when the explosion happened my neighbors didn't want to tell me that my

husband had been killed because they saw i'm a woman or 3 paralyzed children and have heart disease to working with great difficulty but working to serve the people but eventually my neighbor came and told me that my husband had been killed in a suicide bombing it is 15 years since they came to kabul and i'm living here because of my children i searched for my husband but there was no news about him there are thousands here widows who are living west and me every morning when i am going out i see others living in west situations than me i become very said. my husband was in the afghan national army before she was an employee it has been about 4 years since he was killed i have a daughters and one son my son is 13 years old my children couldn't get any

education or schooling i want to say no to war this should be no killings anymore no country house children have faced mental problems and war affected my children. for the access the talk of i was sitting there with my brothers was on a bomb dropped on my house the bombardment began from years drums my brother was killed as we know no one will be left alive in this war moved there were a lot of people killed my 3 children were also killed i demand peaceful my country . early this week moscow hosted a meeting including representatives of the afghan government and taliban aiming at reaching a negotiated settlement and comprehensive cease fire russia america china and pakistan acted as mediators the talks resulted in a statement urging the taliban to refrain from

a spring offensive the parties also call for a continuation of the peace negotiations and we spoke with one of the participants of the moscow talks and says we'll progress was made. our expectation was that when the talks started to. violence will be deduced big deal that has not happened yet. unfortunately the war continues in all the major players. asking for sissies and up while asia and hopefully this meeting in clear messages given through this meeting to both sides will help us in. certainly complementing the door or any future talks which takes place it is reenergizing get there and it was the right if what i've done right. but every 2 leads for most sites this law make the public of afghanistan and the

taliban. as long as the stomach the public up on a sun is concerned they're going to sure you that it was very helpful in that. it will it will help us. within their country in old salt throughout the negotiations . his loss of parliamentary immunity jail and alleged ties with artie's editor in chief these are just a few of the things former catalan leader and member of the european parliament colace put the man speaks about in the latest episode of r.t. he's going underground. just to remind you the moment the key figure in control of independence referendum back in 2017 that was ruled illegal by spain and forced him to flee the country became an m.e.p. in 2019 but earlier this month the european parliament stripped him of parliamentary immunity it was the full interview on our channel across the day and now here's a preview. tell me what their removal of your

a immunity from prosecution means might clear a threat against one of the bases of her european democracy. which consists in finding from the want all right human values that are are for a while you were in jail in schleswig. what did it personally feel like now charge that spain has presented are not acceptable you know western democracy work what kind of crime is solution or a 1000000000 my effective boss margarita simonyan named by the judge a i understand that you are working with her and thousands of troops were being prepared from russia to help you out as users. should be well that these are narrow people knew that sean only goal parties were to go or worse try to of out on the agenda in order to be security to attack our.

reputation we will continue. with political tools using our advice in european parliament we will fight very hard and our once we heard the mission we want to share with the rest group eons we look at once we are not europe and our. crises european crises. a long dormant volcano sprung getting to life in iceland on friday spewing fountains of lava near the capital reykjavik a lava covered an area of a. one square kilometer that posed no immediate danger to the local people the eruption didn't come as a surprise as the country had recorded more than 40000 quakes over the past 3 weeks of a cane itself as previously sat dormant for 6000 years and the last time an eruption occurred on the peninsula was 800 years ago.

the e.u. has placed to slash its greenhouse gas emissions by half over the coming decade but the move will cover the cost the european commission chief says the price tag will be hundreds of billions of europe we want to take green financing to the next level. because to achieve our 2030 goal we need to boost green investment we know that we will have to invest around 3350000000000 euros more pleasure in the energy system in the coming decade to make it sustainable the international renewable energy agency is given its own assessment of how much needs to be spent to keep the rising global temperatures through under one and a half degrees celsius by 2050 after the numbers were crunched that figures $33.00 trillion dollars on top of the current projected investment of i $98.00 trillion

that's an extra trillion dollars per year to fund the global switch from fossil fuels all this at a time of global underspending on infrastructure a study backed by the g 20 estimates an extra 15 trillion dollars will have to be spent mostly on transportation in coming years earlier we discussed the climate crisis and government spending plans with a financial journalist and environmental scientist. same time that we're spending the money we're creating green jobs if it's doable it's going to be painful but in the long term it's going to benefit me starting 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 you know making patterns storms through heat waves to wave to the wildfires that we are painful we're now all these things have to be addressed urgently and we certainly need a plan my point is as to do more of a long term plan than just just funding we have to have a strategy that has to be long term or just this obsession with governments to do

what you're just look for a 6 months down the line and then a year from our most people just forgot about that plus year renewables of which i'm an investor i am the parent i make and the policy and everything else that's going on right now we really need long term plans all of these things are marriage the money we just age around age accordingly so i want to see a long term strategy for renewables that's that's achievable in the same way as we . as with the pandemic and it seems like maybe we haven't really got a proper strategy for either of them on paper we have to do it in the in the right order that's my concern it's awful that i learned to have to spend the time on health now or to spend 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. that wraps it up as i say with this morning this is our to international updates in 30 minutes.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to. let it be an arms race in spearing dramatic development it only really exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful ready. to sit down and talk. money.
