italy and germany consider breaking ranks with the european union and using russia's sputnik be called back seat even if the european regulator doesn't give it the green light. joe biden hands 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. 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 to international i'm donald quarter welcome. italy's prime minister

says rome will make its own decision on whether to use russia's sputniks be 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 blocks covert inoculation program as peter all over reports. he's not been long in the job as a 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 age in europe and now we're seeing intensive care beds and it's only filling up at an alarming rate as fears of a 3rd wave have become reality mario draghi has said that he will operate outside over the years one for old and old for one for cumin program if it gets what italy needs let's or dispute think b. and see what hap. if european 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 coronavirus us and also sent him stuff under long as fire the russian vaccine is considering 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 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 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. it 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 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 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 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 a 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 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 asian population for the last year we've had people in positions of incredible power scapegoats scapegoating asian americans people with the biggest pulpits 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 it's not just the shootings in atlanta that are being laid at trump store step delving a little deeper into that hears artie's morag as do 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 di 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 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 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 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 the lies 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 launched 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 top administration troll is spearheading the development and procurement but president biden refuses to say the troops 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 whole job but it comes to trump baps responsible for the ads the asian violence that has 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 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. it into the weekend. i'm having to limit my time in prison and multiple streets and as you can be found at the people at 10000 the last major. head of the polo the. dollar amount. they came. to long they believe it came down to maybe the not. coming in and the beginning of the most of all maybe maybe the monumental economy to make make them love him and montana to make.

lockdown lots of people start down the election edges on holding that comment to make their next headline the top names mean. that will make them even both. sides had been screaming the fact that you know the pandemic well and that he will make 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 delivered the exact that's not happening and fundamentally and various means to make it even and on which it is now people have also been bussed in from all over the country to literally to impose take out the prime minister basically just find a supreme court that takes to ted bundy cutting

a 10 hour concert to happen just because you can't take it it has no basis for that in fact i happen to take to solve this not organized by any political party that is monolithic gathering of old political factions and people as i mentioned across the country who want and see netanyahu and believe it's time for him to step down so the kind of slogans that have been said 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 corruption but nothing new except the amount of stop pulling off an exploration against the tonya cooley c.m. oxy 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 pout the receive about it 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 an economy and social issues but they are looked willing to cede with the prime minister one thing for she will the next thought i meant 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 power the used to be the winning party in the past and now they're all fighting to the threshold so the conservative party would win but he doesn't mean that by mr netanyahu will definitely form the next government it's clear that netanyahu. biggest elephant in the room he 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 assistants did stipulation for a prime minister so netanyahu has to stay in power so that he can stay out of jay. still ahead president biden admits the u.s. is unlikely to meet its deadline for pulling out troops of afghans from afghanistan and now it will be until next winter at the earliest that story and more after the short break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic probably the only really. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and

talk. welcome back to the program now washington's deadline for pulling troops out of afghanistan is unlikely to be met 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 this near 2 decades long war has been immense on afghanistan civilian population. i mean in the with the other my husband was a vendor you're selling street food or that abdu'l 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

remains optimistic their expectation was that window 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 up while asia and hopefully this meeting in clear messages given through this meeting to both sides would have to pass in that i'd. certainly complimenting the door or any future talks which takes place it is d.n.a. advising get on and it was that at the foot. but if it were a lead supporter moved sites this not make the public of afghanistan in the taliban . as long as these stomach the public upon the sun is concerned i can assure you

that it was very helpful in that. it will help us. within that country. throughout the negotiations. 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 danger to locals the volcano had previously sat dormant for 6000 years the last time an eruption took place and 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. skeptics nationalist groups and far left and tif a supporter of this have clashed on the streets of castle in germany police moved

in to break up the rival group says things began to spiral out of control tensions are running high ahead of an expected lockdown extension. while in the netherlands has 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. oh it hasn't exactly been a flawless few days for joe biden on thursday he called his deputy kemal harris president harris 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 hot i almost felt coming up the steps myself. look at a change in mood changed. when shall i long oakley and she just. told president harrison i took a virtual tour of vaccination centers. 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 ring play out secret agenda of the democratic party is to now move out and replace biden with arrows for more videos on 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 and we hope to see you then. is your media a reflection of reality. in

really is and now it's partly because finishing 1st in the american public barely remembers that happened but just shows you the power of money in las vegas the powerful showed that true colors when the pandemic hit the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades and then you have a mayor who doesn't care so here's care i goodman offering the lives of the vegas residents to the control group to the shiny facades concealed deep indifference to the people that have been saved if they were to take an action absolutely keep the roads shrinking machines doing in vegas is a money machine it's a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost. forus 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 kleptocrats to all means of production. my name's dr rachel mackinnon and my sport is track cycling.
