really think this is. i just don't believe. breaking ranks with the european union russia. doesn't give it the green light. also end of the program joe biden in stuff the rise in hate crime against asians in america. his predecessor the mainstream media piling the blame on donald trump. t.v. networks in the us the cost of trump's departure from the white house with c.n.n. viewer numbers.

just after midnight in. moscow welcome to r.t. this hour's top story. italy's prime minister's safe room will have to make its own decision on whether to use russia. if it's not proved to be 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 of our picks 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 in europe 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 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 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 that facts nation 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 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 the 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. 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 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 coke at 90. u.s. president joe biden and his v.p. kemel are horrors visited atlanta where a gunman opened fire on a number of massage parlors this week killing 8 people 6 of the victims were asian women biden and horace the knowledge of the atrocities on the vice president also gave her a 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 while biden horace

only hinted at who day think should shoulder some of the 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 great degree in this country much more so than ever in the past it is not just the shootings in atlanta that are being laid out trumps to work being a little deeper into volunteers or senior correspondent. it is being a tough few weeks for joe 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 dying 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. go away 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 no. out's that is been a disaster trumps disaster if you believe biden are trying to censor my brother said god love a 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 top administration stroll in spearhead 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 see people or take ads and age and violence that has really had its ugly head over the last year on the one that had 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 the temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate we're going to be honest here barden inherited a mess the pal 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 grime the democrats created themselves. yeah and interestingly newly published t.v. ratings in the us appear to show that the post trump 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 2000000 viewers were tuning in daily between election day november 4th joe biden's an organization in january after about the numbers plummeted 36 percent media and legal analyst line all told me the organization had no plan b. after trump left the oval office on the presidential sparring had run it's 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 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 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 does 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. big demonstration is underway in jerusalem against the israeli prime minister with just days to go before voters again go to the polls let's take a look at what's happening there live in the city just a quarter past 11 at night right now there was a lot of people streaming onto the streets the last number of hours israeli flags a lot of pluck cards now they're all calling really for benjamin netanyahu to be

prosecuted for corruption. it's a 39th consecutive week of protests as you can see new social distancing there and that is because all covert restrictions have now been lifted in israel with more than half the population fox now netanyahu will be hoping the rapid occupation campaign will boost his chances in the election which will be the 4th in 2 years martin spence was discussed the run up to choose this ballot with former israeli ambassador to the u.n. dunny delon and palestinian journalist daoud kuttab you can watch the full discussion on ben's no-b.s. podcast on facebook and. also election into use it sounds crazy to. hope it will be the last this cycle for the new future so little now you still are the leading candidate is the steve about it $35.00 feets out of $120.00 but what's happening is for the 1st time you have a lot of power to use for the right conservative power do you actually think the same make the prime minister on global issues that we can agree on social issues

but they are not willing to sit with the prime minister one thing for sure the next parliament the next message to me will be much more conservative than the one we have today the left wing parties some of them will vanish some of their would become a very small party like the label power the used to be the ruling party in the past and now they are fighting to the threshold so the conservative party that 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 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 substitute stipulation

for a prime minister so in. now has to stay in power so they can stay out of jade. still ahead president biden admits that the u.s. is unlikely to meet its deadline for pulling troops out of. the next winter of the earliest story and more coming your way in 90 seconds if. it was spoken to be published. data from the. chinese might seem like any other vaccine if the data holds all you can call them align the basis of. the scientific basis more scenes are given the thumbs up from a scientific or medical point of view we should be interfering with the process.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. theory dramatic development that only really exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. hello again washington's deadline for pulling troops out of afghanistan is unlikely to be met president biden in fact the u.s. is not considering pushing the 1st state 6 months down the road until november the

told the new year 2 decade long war in afghanistan civilians has been a myth. i mean and he would be either my husband was a vendor you're selling street food or the abdul hug and 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 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 western 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 there should be no killings anymore no country house children have faced mental problems and war affected my children. the for the access that all 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

. just heartbreaking testimony there earlier this week moscow hosted a meeting of representatives from the afghan government and the taliban aimed at reaching negotiated settlement and hopefully finally a comprehensive cease fire russia the us china and pakistan acted as mediators the talks resulted in a statement urging the taliban to refrain from the spring offensive the parties also call for a continuation of the peace negotiations which have been ongoing and we spoke to one of the participants of the moscow talks appears optimistic arctics pictish on was that when the talks started to. violence will be deduced big deal that has not happened as of yet. unfortunately the war continues in

all the major players. for sissies and while asian hopefully this meeting in clear messages given through this meeting to both sides will have to pass in. it is certainly complementing the door or any future talks which takes place it is d.n.r. jazzing get it and it was the right if what i've done. but if it were leads for mood sites this lot make the public of afghanistan and the taliban as long as the stomach the public up on the sun is concerned i can assure you that it was very helpful in that. it will it will help us. within that country also throughout the negotiations. this month the british government on field

a far reaching review of its foreign policy and defense strategy according to the document china and millie russia are the biggest threats to london or to simon right has been looking at some of 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 and foreign policy your writing purpose of this review the most comprehensive since the cold war is to make the united kingdom stronger safer prosperous while standing up. 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 that 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 is britain why essentially because we have a strong relationship with. 1000000000 pounds trying 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 is that britain needs the ability to blow up the world another couple dozen times so it 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 so should be brought into. 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 a meeting that the concept he held with his officials lisa we should be prepared to sign trade deals with countries that don't meet the standards of the european convention on human rights nothing to worry about china probably because every

aircraft carrier the west will be another 1000 container ships picking up the i phones for christmas. so a long dormant volcano spring into life in iceland on friday spewing fountains of love in near the capital wreck of the lover covered area of a round a square kilometer pose no immediate danger to locals the volcano had previously dormant for 6000 years and the last time an eruption took place in the gelding other lure of ali was over 800 years ago there's been a lot of earthquakes recently there with the country recording more than 40000 this year alone also. covert skeptics nationalist groups and far left empty for supporters of last. each other on the streets of council in germany police moved in to push the rival groups

apart thing spiraled out of control tensions are running high had all the expected lockdown extension. also seen tempers flare up once more over code 19 restrictions security forces in watertown and on police dogs to break up a crowd the event was largely peaceful several arrests were made. now it hasn't exactly been the most flawless past few days for joe biden and on thursday he called his deputy. president terrorists and then the misspeaking turned to misstepping more than once while boarding or a force one the white house said the triple trips because of the wind.

it's pretty windy outside it's very windy i almost felt coming up the steps myself . pretty. good at a change in changed. one show i learned locally and she just has to. present hers and i took a virtual tour of the vaccination centers. i don't think they have a great great explanation so they seize on the 1st one that came to mind it is

laughable to think that any gust of wind could cause somebody walking again like 3 or jetway for 3 times the way that he felt it obviously wasn't when it's obvious that joe biden is as some mental perhaps physical defects and it's obvious that rather than to be at replacing him they're letting the string play out secret agenda of the democratic party is sin now move biden out and replace biden with terrorists or more great programs get going in moments here on our t.v. then i'll be back in 30 with any and all global news updates for you hope you join me then today. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy the

informed patient let it be an arms race is all off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask. hello 2.
