the world this is your r t international your company my names you know me. well enough to make its own decision on whether to use russia. if it's not approved by the european medicines agency governments right across the e.u. are seeking solutions after a series of setbacks in the blocks. our europe correspondent peter all over can pick up the story. 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. up 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 and act outside of the e.u. is one for all and all for one procurement program if it gets what italy needs let's order sputnik v. 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 certify 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 considering 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 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 the research documents the studies available about sputnik the give a positive impression vaccination is the only serious way to fight covert 19 and my

demands on 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 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 are reports coming out here in germany that a facility and 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 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 of 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 are staring down the barrel of a 3rd wave of covert 90. u.s. president joe biden and his v.p. kellogg horris have visited where a gunman opened fire of a number of massage parlors this week killing 8 people 6 of the victims were asian women biden an artist unknown to the atrocities of the vice president also gave her view on what's led to a rise in attacks against america's asian population for the last year we've had people in positions of incredible power scapegoats scapegoating asian americans

people with the biggest puppets spreading this kind of hate the while biden and horace only hint about who they think is to blame the mainstream media has been openly pointing the finger at the previous administration. donald trump didn't pull the trigger in atlanta but donald trump certainly was responsible for the anger in the fear of the suspicion that exists in in great degree in this country much more so than ever in the past and it is not just the shootings in a blunt event are being laid out front door delving a little bit deeper into the here's our senior correspondent. it is being a tough few weeks for joe 50 days in office in 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 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 dabbing 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 whom business is booming. but biden apparently didn't mean everything that he said thousands of kids are still in detention centers waiting deportation to mexico and you know what biden's white house is telling the crowds at the border who he gave sue much hope to. goo way the message isn't done come now it is don't 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 america has been ravaged by couvade like nowhere else others been the disaster trumps disaster if you believe biden our predecessors my brother would say god love the failed order and of actually failed of all the law is the effort to administer the shots failed

a set of facts senators i did certain point the trump bashing becomes too much even for the liberal press trump all his scenes nor operation warp speed last year under which the development of a vaccine its production and distribution were carried out of unprecedented in 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 anti asian violence that is 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 100 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 on job's but it comes to trump is perhaps responsible for the anti asian violence that has also arisen 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 in stevie's locations as something that allows him to to.

to go to these places and intercept information for him that he wanted to eliminate we're going to be honest here biden inherited a mess that fallow longer they go in to heap sweeping all their problems under the trump rug as opposed to get no try solve them especially considering that a significant amount of that mess in graun the democrats created themselves newly published t.v. ratings in the us appear to show that they post from white house is well a bit of a turnoff the figures show that c.n.n. has lost more than a 3rd of its primetime audience since the former president left office almost 2 and a half 1000000 viewers were tuning in daily between election day november 4th joe biden's an organization in january after that the numbers plummeted by 36 percent media and legal analyst told me b organization had no plan b.

after trump left the oval office the presidential sparring had run its course. 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 he said it was and 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 of 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 massive demonstration is underway in tourism against the israeli prime minister these are live pictures right now from a central square where people have been streaming on to their all through the day just a few days program before people go to the polls thousands there in the city center calling for benjamin netanyahu to be prosecuted for corruption it is

a 39 consecutive week of protests so you can see there's no social this. still saying in psych that's because all covert restrictions about being lifted in israel with more than huff the population much needed netanyahu will be hoping the rapid inoculation campaign will boost his chances in the election which will be the 4th in 2 years or to spend swarm discuss the run up to choose this ballot with former israeli buster to the un dunning delane palestinian journalist daoud kuttab you can watch the full discussion of ben's no-b.s. podcast on facebook and. false election into use it sounds crazy and they stiffen if you hope it will be the last this cycle for the near future so little now he still is the leading candidate is the steve about it 35 seats out of $120.00 but what's happening is for the 1st time you have a lot of politics for the right conservative parties that actually think the same

make the prime minister on global issue than economy and social issues but they are not willing to sit with the prime minister one thing for sure the next parliament the next message will be much more conservative than the one we have today a left wing parties some of them will vanish some of their will become a very small party like the label part the used to be the ruling party in the past and now they're all fighting to the threshold so the conservative party would win but it doesn't mean that 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 and one of the ways he wants to get out of it is to stay as prime minister these really is 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 as such that stipulation

for a prime minister so netanyahu. to stay in power so they can stay out of jail. 17 minutes past the hour this is r.t. international still a president biden admits that the u.s. is only likely to meet its deadline for pulling troops out of afghanistan it will be next winter at the earliest because that story and more fuel for the show. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development only mostly and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and

talk. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. saying. we dare to ask.

again washington's deadline for pulling troops out of afghanistan is unlikely to be met since president biden in fact the u.s. is now considering pushing the may 1st state 6 months on the road all until november the toll of the near 2 decade long war. has been a. i mean in the with the other my husband was a vendor selling street food and then after. the explosion happened my neighbors didn't want to tell me that my husband had been killed because they saw it i'm a woman and 3 paralyzed children and have heart disease to great difficulty and 170 eventually my neighbor came and told me my husband had been killed in a suicide bombing 15 years since they came and i'm living here because of my

children to satisfy my husband but there was no news about him dress as until widows who are living western me every morning when i am going out to the others living in western nations for me i become very. poor my husband was can 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 educational schooling i want to say no to war there should be no kids anymore no. children have faced mental problems and war affected my children. the it says the talk of i was sitting with my brothers was

a bomb dropped on my house in the bombardment again years drums my brother was killed as we know no one will go live to live in this war there were a lot of people killed her children were also killed among the. incredible testimony there earlier this week moscow hosted a meeting of representatives from the afghan government and the taliban aimed at reaching a negotiated settlement and finally a comprehensive cease fire russia the us china and pakistan acted as mediators for talks result the statement urging the taliban to refrain from a spring offensive the parties also call for a continuation of the peace negotiations which have been ongoing until we spoke to one of the participants of the moscow talks who appears optimistic. our expectation

was that when the talks started. violence would be deduced big deal that has not happened as of yet. unfortunately the war continues in all the major players are asking for association of violation hopefully this meeting in clear messages given through this meeting to both sides would help us in moving in that i did action it is certainly complementing the doha or any future talks which takes place it is reenergizing it and it was that i deferred at that right time but eventually affordable to act 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. this month the british government unveiled a far reaching refute of its foreign policy and defense strategy and according to the document china and mainly russia are the biggest threats to london r.t. simon wright has been looking at the finer details. if you have any doubt the trouble the west is having working out how to deal with china i give to you britain's hold on integrated review of security defense development foreign policy your writing purpose of this review the most comprehensive since the cold war is to make the united kingdom stronger safer and prosperous while standing up program so i've read between the lines of this report which is the most important part and i boil it down for you america is a fading power but britain will still hide behind it whenever it can the united

states will be our greatest ally and a uniquely close partner in defense intelligence and security rushers named as the main threat because that was the most effective way of getting funding for more bombs and because china has some questionable autocratic tendencies and all the cash and is pretty much going to rule the world by next year britain will continue to criticize it a little bit not to want to watch britain unveil this review if you're sitting in beijing must be a frankly bewildering experience there is no question the trial it would pose a great challenge for a loop in society such as ours but we've also worked with china where that is consistent with our values and interests boris johnson essentially saying that his response to issues like democracy in hong kong or the plight of the week is it will be empty words because that suits britain why essentially because we have

a strong trade relationship with china was divided 1000000000 pounds trying to is the 2nd largest economy in the world he's talking as if no one in china can actually hear him say he's pretty flexible on the old values thing there's a bit of money to be had some of the more confusing detail when on the one hand this review decides that britain needs. the tea to blow up the world another couple dozen times so commits to a 40 percent increase in its nuclear stockpile while at the same time we're committed to a nuclear arms reduction indeed we believe that china should be brought into and you can strategic nuclear arms reduction but you literally just said about. what so when britain talks about getting tough on china. blah blah blah exactly how worried should the capitalist communists in beijing be as that review is published the huff post released

a recording. of the concept he held with his officials lisa we should be prepared to sign trade deals with countries that meet the standards of the european convention on human rights so yeah nothing to worry about china probably because. the west will be another 1000 container ships picking up the i phones for christmas . some stunning images from iceland where a long dormant volcano sprang into life there on friday spewing functions of lava near the capital wreck of the lava covered an area overrun one square kilometer but posed no immediate danger to locals the volcano had previously dormant for 6000 years and the last time an eruption took place in that region that. valley was over 800 years ago there's been a lot of earthquakes recently with the country recording more than 14000 this month alone.
