existences. italy and germany consider breaking ranks with the e.u. when using russia's. vaccine even if the european regulator doesn't give it the green light. joe biden hints that the rise in hate crime against asians in america was stirred up by his predecessor with much of the media also piling the blame on donald trump. and thousands of israelis take to the streets calling on the prime minister to resign ahead of the country's 4th election in just 2 years. is the top of the hour here in moscow and that means it's time for the news it's

time for our team international donald quarter welcome to the program. italy's prime minister says rome will have to make its own decision on whether to use russia's sputnik vive covered vaccine even if it's not approved by the european medicines agency governments across the e.u. are seeking solutions after a series of setbacks in the coal in the blocks covered inoculation program peter oliver reports. 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 aid 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 perk human 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 year. here in germany in the fight against corona virus also shown 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 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 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 as the german red cross are 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 sheraton that spinning very can be trusted and that if the relevant departments fail to approve it they will lose people's trust. friday morning there are reports coming out here in germany that a facility in 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 her self 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 vaccine far outweighed any potential risks now that saw a number almost all of those countries that had carried out the suspension 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 due 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 90. joe biden and his vice president come all harris have visited atlanta where a gunman killed 8 people this week in a series of massage parlor attacks 6 of the victims were asian women and biden and harris denounced the atrocities and the v.p. also gave her view on what's led to a rise in attacks against america's population for the last year we've had people in positions of incredible power scapegoating scapegoating asian americans people with the biggest puppets spreading this kind of hate. while biden and harris only hinted at who they think should shoulder some of the blame much of the 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 in the suspicion that exists in 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 doorstep delving a litter a little deeper into that is more i guess to you it is being a tough few weeks for jew 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 diving 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 to 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 so much hope to. goo

way 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 i've just been the 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 thought 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 troll is 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 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 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 has also arisen in britain and europe and 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 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 in graun the democrats created themselves. a large demonstration took place on saturday in jerusalem against the israeli prime minister just days before the country heads to the polls again a 4th time in just 2 years our middle east correspondent paula sleeper was among the crowds. 52 weeks i'm going to. raise some interest in him in my time in prison and multiple street and as you can be found that the people themselves are lost made. head of the polo the. dollar amount. they quickly became. too long they believe it came down to maybe the not. coming in in the beginning. most of all maybe maybe

the minute. they make them love them and bonds in a manner they make. a lot down lots of people start down the election and his money holding the comment they make they make. at the top may mean. that will make them even both. inside and been streaming the fact that you know the pandemic well and that he will take his own and now that arafat brought more peace agreements on the way and people come to us because they know that this is the real thing i deliver the. tech that's not happening and fundamentally and very abusive makes an entity and on which it now people can also be bussed in from all over the country to literally to impose

a cult on the prime minister basically just find a supreme change to kill some deep cuts in a 10 hour concert to happen just because you can't take it it has no basis for that in fact it happened to the taste of stuff that's not organized by any political party that is monolithic gathering of old political factions and people that i mention across the country who want and see netanyahu and believe it's time for him to step down because of slogans that have to get the kind of posters. ben has been called up on people saying it's long enough you and i you a cheetah we've all seen people accusing him of cover up something new except me i'm not pulling open exploration against tanya who police say have not seen jerusalem. or to america's ben swan discuss the run up to tuesday's ballot with former israeli ambassador to the u.n. danny danon and palestinian journalist daoud kuttab you can watch the full

discussion on ben's no-b.s. podcast on facebook and youtube. false election into use it sounds crazy and they stiffen 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 pull out the received about this 35 seats out of 120 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 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 sure up 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 them would 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 could win

but it doesn't mean that 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 so netanyahu has to stay in power so that it can stay out of jay. still had president biden admits the u.s. is unlikely to meet its deadline for pulling troops out of afghanistan and now it'll be next winter at the earliest that city at that story and more after the short break.

boris yeltsin. go back and look at your history. oligarchies flourished under a guy who is barely able to walk down the street here we have in the us somebody who is cognitively impaired that's pretty common wisdom over seeing the rise of american oligarchies assisted by 0 percent interest rates that allow for the cup to kratz to all means of production. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the

day or thinks. we are here to ask. welcome back to the program now washington's deadline for pulling troops out of afghanistan is on likely to be met to according to president biden in fact the u.s. is now considering pushing them a 1st date 6 months down the road until november the toll of the near 2 decades long war has been immense on afghanistan civilian population. i mean and he would be other my husband was a vendor your 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 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 an employee it has been about 4 years since he was killed i have

a daughter 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 killings anymore no country house children have faced mental problems and war affected my children. the for the it says that although i was sitting there with my brothers was 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 . earlier this week moscow hosted a meeting of representatives from the afghan government and the taliban and aimed at reaching a peace deal russia the us china and pakistan acted as mediators with the talks resulting in a call for the taliban to refrain from

a spring offensive all sides were also urged to continue that with long running negotiations in doha one of the talks participants told us the mood remains optimistic. on was that window talks started to. violence will be deduced big deal that has not happened yet. unfortunately continues in all the major players. for sissies and up while asian hopefully this meeting in clear messages given through this meeting to both sides would have to pass in. it is certainly complementing the door or any future talks which takes place it is d.n.r. jazzing get there and it was the day at the foot. but eventually

moved sites this not make the public of afghanistan in 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 unveiled a far reaching review of its foreign policy and its defense strategy and according to the document china and mainly russia are the biggest threats to london. 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 it would pose a great challenge for a loop in society such as ours but we will also work 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 britain why essentially because we have a strong relationship with china the worth of 1000000000 pounds try. it is the 2nd largest economy in the world he's talking is known in china can actually hear him say he's pretty flexible in 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 could be due to a nuclear arms reduction indeed we believe that china oh should be brought into. arms reduction but you literally just said about what so when britain talks about

getting tough on china given the values 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. with his officials he said look we should be prepared to sign trade deals with countries that don't meet the standards of the european convention on human rights and nothing to worry about china probably because for every aircraft carrier the west will be another 1000 container ships picking up the i phones for christmas. a long dormant volcano roared into life in iceland on friday spewing fountains of lava near the country's capital the magma covered an area of around one square kilometer but posed no immediate threat to locals the volcano had previously set dormant for 6000 years and the last time an eruption took place in its valley location was more than 800 years ago there have been a lot of earthquakes recently though with the country recording more than 40000

this month alone. i. hope it skeptics nationalist groups and far left and tea for supporters have clashed on the streets of castle in germany police moved in to break up the rival groups as things spiraled out of control tensions are running high headed ahead of an expected lockdown extension. while the netherlands has also seen tempers flare once more over covert restrictions security forces in amsterdam used water cannons and police dogs to disperse crowds the event was largely peaceful but several arrests were made. it hasn't exactly been a flawless few days for joe biden on thursday he called the deputy come all iris president hours and then he went from tripping over his words to stumbling over his

feet while boarding air force one with the white house blaming the wind. it's pretty windy outside it's very windy i almost felt coming up the steps myself . pretty. to look at a change in changed. concho i long ago pleaded sheets to the. president

harrison i took a virtual tour of the vaccination center's road. i don't think they it they have a great a 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 up looking like the fall 3 or jetway fall 3 times in the way that he felt it obviously wasn't when it's obvious that joe biden it has some mental and perhaps physical defects and it's obvious that rather than immediately replacing him they're letting this string play out secret agenda of the democratic party is sin now moved out and replaced by with terrorists more videos of joe biden's less than perfect moments make sure to check out our website r.t. dot com and follow us on twitter i'll be back with more news in just about half an

hour so do stay tuned. join me every foes on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you. right max kaiser this is the kaiser report ever wonder why calling is going

like a rocket ship let's talk with stacey stacey yeah i like that mainstream economists that are allowed to go on to san b c bloomberg and all those other financial news programs and frets about the price of bitcoin and what bitcoins doing when it is the only safe harbor as max and i have pointed out now for almost 10 years from government printing and quantitative easing and other exotic sort of programs introduced over the past 2 decades and you see why we might be concerned out here in the big growing community a grim look at the exploding u.s. budget deficit. look at these charts max so this is the long term outlook right now for government debt and apparently according to the budget office it could hit 202 percent if things go well for us.
