i just don't believe. the headline. even if he. doesn't give it. to the mainstream media also. all of the country. and t.v. blogs in america the cost of. fuel. lines

live from moscow this is also international a very warm welcome. italy's new prime minister says rome will be forced to make its own decision on the use of russia's sputnik v. injection if it's not approved by the european medicines agency that's off the trust in the. europe has been shaken following recent safety here's our correspondent peter on a. mario draghi 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 procurement program if it gets what

italy needs let's order sputnik be and see what happens if you are 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 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 to see it being used here in germany in the fight against corona virus fussin also seen him stuff as fire the russian vaccine is concerned have held the view for some time that we should use each vaccine that is approved by the european medicines agence singh but if a new such european order were mate and have seen new indications. it will be german you would have to go it alone that is a possibility and this what i 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 the research documents the studies available about sputnik the give a positive impression facts nation is the only serious way to fight covert 19 and my demands are demand is the following we is the german red cross or impartial and do not interfere in political issues but we would like a non ideological decision on vaccines to be made and that everything that is

scientifically based 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 political reasons that would dictate selective behavior and my impression is that at least here in germany there is 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 are reports coming out here in germany that a facility in barton verdant book was being prepared as a potential site to produce sputnik v. in europe 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 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 vaccine far outweighed any potential risks now that saw a number almost all of those countries that had carried out this is spent should all of us senate get 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 we want to thoroughly review the situation before we make a conclusion there is

a real mixed state of affairs at the moment with some countries around the world taking strides in leap said when it comes to vaccinating their populations while others staring down the barrel of a 3rd wave of covert 19. president joe biden and his v.p. come out of service of atlanta where a gunman opened fire at a number of massage parlors killing 8 people 6 of the victims were asian women biden and harris denounced the atrocities and while the vice president also if you want to what's been causing the rising levels of hatred against america's asian population for the last year we've had people in positions of incredible power scape those scapegoating asian americans people with the biggest puppets spreading this kind of hate and while biden and harris only hinted at who they think is to blame the mainstream media has been openly pointing the finger at the

trumpet 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 a great degree in this country much more so than ever in the past and it's not just the shootings in atlanta that are being laid at trump's door as artie's in our report. it is being a tough few weeks for jew 50 days in office and the problems keep piling up fortunately and thank the poles for this even with trump gone you can still blame your problems on him the last administration left us a dismantled an 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 potentially citizenship would flood your borders with another wave of migrants more and more migrants who believed biden's populist election rhetoric and people smugglers 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 and the message isn't done come now it is done come in this way ever do it to come to the united states is still illegal pathways then there's the pandemic which has ruined so much for all of us merica has been ravaged by couvade like nowhere else that is been a disaster trumps disaster if you believe biden are trying to survive others say god love of failed order and of axes failed of all eyes the effort to administer the shots failed a set of facts centers at a certain point the trump bashing becomes too much even for the liberal press trump all his scenes operation warp speed last year under which the development of a vaccine its production and distribution were carried out other than precedented

pace that was trump that wasn't biden and even the pundits agreed. even the media acknowledges a trumpet ministrations role in spearheading the development and procurement but president biden refuses to say the truth is the biggest scam is biden taking credit for the vaccine remember when joe biden and common 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 the asian 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. lead to you know perceptions of the asian american community that are

inaccurate unfair have raised. you know threatening has elevated threats against asian americans on the other you just call and trust biden's all jobs 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 barden inherited a mess that fallow long are they going to keep 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 a t.v. ratings in the us appear to show that the post trump white house as well as a bit of a turn off the figures show that 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 what's in daily between election day on november the 4th on biden's inauguration day in january after about the numbers dropped significantly down 47 percent in the key demographic of 25 to 54 year olds media and legal analyst lionel believes donald trump was well a golden goose when it came to the 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 that's done 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 annoying 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 anybody 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. a major protest is expected in jerusalem in the coming hours calling for the israeli prime minister to be prosecuted for corruption although there are still plenty of support for binyamin netanyahu the latest polls put him on course to win the upcoming election which will be the 4th in 2 years he's been swan discuss the run up to tuesday's ballot with a former israeli ambassador to the u.n. danny danon and palestinian journalist about what could top you can watch the full discussion on the no b.s. podcast on facebook and you. false election into use it sounds

crazy and they stiff it you hope it will be the last this cycle for the new future so the little now he still is the leading candidate is that he could pout the cvs about it $35.00 seats out of $120.00 but what's happening is for the 1st time you have a lot of power from the right conservative parties that actually think the same like the prime minister on global issues and economy and social issues but they are not willing to sit with the prime minister one thing for school the next parliament the next message to me will be much more conservative than the one we have today the left wing qualities some of them will vanish some of them would become a very small party like the label pout the used to be the winning party in the past and now they're all fighting to buy the threshold so the conservative party would win but he doesn't mean the prime minister netanyahu will definitely form the next government it's clear that the netanyahu. biggest elephant in the room is the

against him and he's trying every way to get out of it one of the ways he wants to get out of it is to stay as prime minister these really long and not clear on on whether it's sitting prime minister and in fact being being indicted is enough for a member of the cabinet to have to resign and there is no assists substance to belay him for a prime minister's so netanyahu has to stay in power so that he can stay out of j. r. still ahead if you're on the program on r.t. president biden admits that the u.s. is unlikely to meet trump's promise deadline for pulling troops out of afghanistan that story and much more in just a moment. join

me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

good to have you with us today president joe biden has admitted it will be tough for the u.s. to meet its deadline for pulling american troops out of afghanistan and with his administration now considering a 6 month extension of their presence in the country donald trump had promised to withdraw the remaining 12000 troops by may the 1st of course the toll of war on afghanistan civilians has been immense. i. mean and he would be either my husband was

a vendor you're selling street food or that abdul hung around 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 with 3 paralyzed children and have heart disease to working with great difficulty it 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 employed it has been

pakistan acted as mediators at the talks resulted in a statement urging the taliban to refrain from a spring offensive the parties also called for a continuation of the peace negotiations in doha we spoke to one of the participants of the moscow talks he seems optimistic. expectation was that when the talks started. violence will be deduced big deal that has not happened as of yet. unfortunately the war continues in all the major players. asking for association of violation and hopefully this meeting in clear messages given through this meeting to both sides would help us in moving in that i did actually it is certainly complementing that doha or any future talks which takes place it is reenergizing it and it was

that i thought i'd died right time but eventually for both sides this law makes the public of afghanistan and the taliban as long as the islamic republic of afghanistan is concerned i can assure you that it was very helpful in that. it will it will help us. within the country also throughout the negotiations. a long dormant volcano sprang into life in iceland on friday spewing fountains of lava very close to the capital . of the lava covered an area of about one square kilometer but as i understand didn't pose any immediate danger to the locals of the eruption though did not come as a surprise the country had recorded more than 40000 earthquakes over the past 3 weeks the volcano had previously sat dormant for 6000 years the last time an eruption

my name's dr rachel mackinnon and my sport is track cycling. the debate about trans focus is almost entirely on trans women debate is is it fair for trans women athletes to compete in women's categories in sport i have become the poster girl for. everything wrong with trans women in the world. every single story that has

a thing to do with trans women the trans woman athletes i get mentioned every time . i think who won a world championship in masters cycling has been hit with a wave of backlash including death threats. you broke the world's record. in what's happening here is your guy. who was born male finished in the race and. becoming the 1st of a transgender woman to win gold in the competition. i'm a world champion in the masters track cycling sprint event as far as we know i'm the only trans woman world champion in olympic event. even though it's a masters event and at that one podium photo is what everyone focuses on unfortunately people looked at me being bigger than the girls that i was racing and said oh well it must be unfair look how much bigger she is. people who i meet david

they do not no one trans despite what people love to think online so people see a picture of me when i had much much shorter hair because i cut all my hair off the hair and say oh well she obviously she's trained she looks like a man. i've received hundreds of thousands of hate messages at this point mostly on twitter. just the other day. so i posted that picture on instagram with so when we go before we get on to get into the pedals and strap then we have to be held. and they always hold on to the paddle and someone posing as you can come.
