hungary's foreign minister becomes the 1st european official to receive the vaccine along with 1400000 of his. politics should stay out when it comes to saving lives. meanwhile doubts linger over whether the vaccine causes blood clots and. some patients are counseling their appointments for the job despite the european medicines agency giving it the all clear. and the u.s. department of health admits there pressuring brazil not to use the vaccine days before the 1st brazilian strain of corona virus was detected in new york. when i was a child and we had arguments in the court yard we would say me and sticks to your.

response to joe biden branding him a killer something u.s. president said despite his found that diplomacy is back. thanks so much for joining us you're watching the play here on r.t. and. several e.u. leaders are urging the block's medical agency to fast track the vaccine approval as europe faces a 3rd wave of current. concerning sport with wii and other vaccines i strongly insist that the relevant e.u. bodies issue now with the rise asian for safe vaccines as soon as possible the more vaccines we have the better of us in also sent him stuff and along as far as the russian vaccine is concerned have held the view for some time that we should use

each vaccine that is approved by the european madison's 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. companies across europe though look like they might break ranks with the european regulator earlier this month firms in a number of e.u. countries to produce where. but they're all still waiting on the blocks regulator to approve the drug spending b. has already been authorized by 46 nations and europe slovakia and hungry are already rolling out the chap. and greece foreign minister peter c. otto was among the 1st european officials to receive the support in the vaccine is also just announced that his country is expected to receive an additional $680000.00 doses of the job over the next 2 weeks hungary was the 1st to your nation to approve sputnik more than 1400000 hungary and since received

a 1st dose of the vaccine earlier i spoke to peter córdoba and he told me politics should be keeping out when it comes to saving lives. seniors not a question of ideology for us is a matter of saving lives and if we had not contract the chinese and russian vaccine we save the health care and the health and the lives of many hungry and the hungry our national regulator has approved the emergency use authorization for use so i have no concern i was the one. that asked by our government to negotiate with the russians on the ration of our purchasing. i have started going to be the minister a month when we used to hold back at the end of october before i got new york actually and after a long series of negotiations and we were able to sign our contract we share

a lot in accelerating the vaccination in hungary you said it's rightly more don't want point 4000000 now to do this morning you've been more than 1500000 i'm gary and have only been vaccinated. scandinavian countries are extending a freeze on the use of the astra zeneca vaccine despite the european medicines agency concluding on thursday the drug was quote safe and effective taking us through developments in. several scandinavian countries still sure about losing this vaccine let's start with finland which has now suspended the use of the astra zeneca jab why they think best against shoe cases of potential blood clots on top of that we know that norway denmark and sweden they're all holding back from restarting their programs all of them still have concerns about issues surrounding

astra zeneca and say that they going to carry out their own investigations now due to several serious cases and no way would want to thoroughly review the situation before make a conclusion well blood clots eye is the issue that's been just cussed over and over nots initially will be the main was investigating over the last week or so but there have been of the 'd much more serious effects that some say to astra zeneca let's have a look now at some of those cases. now

the a.m.a. of course did carry out extensive investigations into these possible side effects and what they said at the press conference on thursday is that the vaccines benefit in. protecting people from corona virus related deaths or hospitalisations continued to outweigh the possible links as a result of taking the astra zeneca vaccine and that's why they really approved it rubber stamped it once again for use but it's not just countries nordic countries who are still querying the use of astra zeneca here in france the country's health authority has now given new advice about the job thing that can only be used for those over the age of 55 now you might wonder why that seems so odd but if i go back just a couple weeks ago being told by authorities here in france that astra zeneca

shouldn't be used with those in older age groups so it does feel for many years if the new advice is a complete u. turn and it is leaving many people questioning why well the reason is because the year may also on thursday suggested that they were a possible increased risk of blood clots for those under the age of 55 if they had the astra zeneca job. i don't trust the spanx an adult i don't move it's really true what they say with the media would no longer know what to think that. the vaccine is brand new i mean we don't know the side effects. those who died but i don't want to take the risk so i'm waiting a little longer. you know know how they made it there is a nurse she died and on top of that the people who died because of it so i don't really know if it really works or not but there's also now the question as to what

this means for the ear may itself we now have countries across the european union who are deciding that it's rubber stamping of us just isn't quite good enough let's not forget that the e.u. may is the scientific body for the whole of the european union the. this is the point he looks at madison's and decides if it's to prove them so the idea that country isn't now questioning want to double check the figures the investigations over this issue the vaccines really does raise that question of trust and at a time when we're now being told that there are not enough vaccines to prevent a 3rd movie in 1000 wave here in europe and many people may now be saying you know actually i don't want that rock scene i would prefer to have one they really are big issues that need to be resolved. york has reported its 1st case of the highly contagious brazil strain of some to the u.s.

health department publicly boasted it trying to dissuade brazil using versus the move branded by the kremlin unprecedented and harsh because the explained we've all heard about deals to secure that shipment countries trampling each other to get those precious jobs these says the 1st star we've heard of back door deals to deny people a vaccine the u.s. department of health health and human services boosting that it had denied hundreds of millions of brazilians a jab. the office of global affairs used diplomatic relations in the americas region to mitigate efforts by states including cuba venezuela and russia who are working to increase their influence in the region to the detriment of u.s. safety and security examples include using the office of global affairs health a touchy office to persuade brazil to reject the russian copied 19 vaccine and that

is what is essentially a grand perversion of simple human decency and moral values they argue that brazilians vaccinating themselves with a russian vaccine is apparently a threat to u.s. security they are explaining how they just say that it is let me put that in perspective for you we will see and hear of the daily death tallies right so one in 5 of those deaths are happening right now in brazil 20 percent of all qubit deaths worldwide are in brazil and needs people a boosting that they help prevent inoculations in brazil with one of the objectives the and scientifically proven most efficient vaccines in the world ease of the same people who claim that lives in vaccines are above politics and accused russia of

undermining inoculation efforts it is very clear that russia is up to its all tricks. and in doing so is potentially putting people at risk by spreading disinformation about vaccines. u.s. department of health and human services who feel safe and your organization behind sputnik the has come out and said what any reasonable person already knows this is a pandemic that is threatening and killing people equally this is. the threat to mankind it is above politics saving and we're talking here about millions of lives is paramount but the degree of cynicism and double standards here is astonishing see when it's about saving american lives they'll take all the help that they can

get remember the russian planes carrying aid to new york last year oh they accepted that no threat to national security there apparently but brazilians vaccinating themselves with sputnik god forbid no no no america current allow brazilians to do that some western states are trying not only to politicize the humanitarian aspect of the fight against corona virus but also to take advantage of the pandemic to punish governments they don't like i'm not sure gree with the russian foreign minister yes they are politicizing vaccination politicizing lives that's obvious but i'm not entirely sure that the countries that the us doesn't like that it's them that have been punished it's the people that they're friends with brazilians who will potentially not receive a life saving job so we're fishelson washington can go to sleep at night feeling

good and safe. despite its admission in the reports the us health department says it cannot comment on vaccines not surprised by the f.d.a. and cannot pressure countries from using drugs they've authorized themselves. and tuesday joe biden gave an interview in which he was asked where the russia's president was a killer here and said yes putin would pay the price for alleged interference in u.s. elections moscow responded by calling his u.s. envoy back to moscow for crisis talks on the state of relations with washington. hawkins has the story. the lowest point since the cold war that sol russia u.s. relations have been described across the board over the last few years but every new u.s. administration has a chance to take a fresh look at things build some bridges at least try not to add to the tension and certain joe biden you know vladimir putin you think is

a killer. or do so what price must he pay but pray she's going to pay well you'll see shortly if there was a book on the presidential diplomacy one o one the very 1st page may well say don't call your counterpart a soulless murderer in your 1st couple of months in office that could make talks over the next 4 years slightly awkward for the kremlin saying they're now hoping for the best but preparing for the worst in terms of relations but international diplomacy can be like a game of poker biden went all chips in no regrets the present by regret going over who. know the president gave a direct answer to a direct question but aside from threats through paying a price i don't outsing new sanctions hailed as a new approach to dealing with moscow the president's relationship and this it ministrations relationship with the russians will be very different from what we've seen over the last 4 years and we've already seen evidence of that the boy

administration took around 2 months to announce new sanctions targeting russia but old front took around the same time when he came to office back in 2017 to announce his 1st sanctions against russian companies in connection with iran north korea syria nonproliferation act the 1st of many so hardly a new approach there anyway the target of biden's killer comments took them surprisingly well sidestepping the attacks with a restrained response. because only i would wish him good health i'm not joking i mean it secondly i want to say that in the history of every country there are many tragic and dramatic events but. when we judge people or other nations we look into a mirror and we see ourselves we impose on others what we see in ourselves when i was a child and we had arguments in the courtyard we would say bounces off me and sticks to you and it's not just the children saying the meaning is very deep tit for tat

accusations or 3 moscow and washington go back decades but with biden making it personal person made it clear he wouldn't stand for his counterpart being a moral judge. regarding the american establishment the ruling class its identity was formed in difficult circumstances that are well known the colonization of the american continent by europeans involved the extermination of the local population it was a genocide in modern terms a genocide of the indian tribes this was followed by a long brutal period of slavery slave holding it was extremely cruel and all of this is endured through history and affects the development of the united states to this day otherwise well with the black lives mass movement have come from putin could have cited any number of events u.s. global military interventions political meddling support for dubious armed groups and regimes through illustrate his wider point look at yourselves and your actions

before criticizing others the white house acknowledged nobody's perfect. the president believes that one of the greatest attributes of the united states is our honest self reflection and our constant striving for progress and there's always more work to do in this round putting the shows to up the ante making a brave offer to biden to continue the discussion in person in an uncensored live online broadcast something that may be unprecedented in such high level talks which would logically i want to invite president biden to continue our discussion on the condition that it's in the form of live broadcast online so far the white house has avoided rising to the challenge of making history refusing to commit or comment on the offer i don't have anything to report to you in terms of a future meeting the president of course be in georgia tomorrow and quite busy the problem is said will take further silence as a no and while they can't know what goes on behind the scenes of international

diplomacy if biden's early days in office were a game of poker it seems this hand would go to his perceived adverse story probably not the effect he wanted to make with his initial comments. local authorities along america's southern border are calling on the government to step in if the region faces a record influx of migrants u.s. border patrol is struggling to provide secure shelter for thousands of people and the mare of a town in arizona says the crisis is unprecedented this is really opening up a pandora's box in our community we did not see the covert crisis nowhere near what some of the other cities have seen. we were hoping to keep it that way unfortunately it doesn't look with them dropping these migrants in our community and stood. sudden states that include arizona and alabama have borne the brunt of

the my contempt likes a recent poll suggests there's growing doubt though about the ability of the authorities to cope with the situation on the us mexico border amid the pandemic by administrations deployed the disaster agency fame and to deal with the situation is find being beyond their remit now chris riggs again believes the federal government wasn't prepared for such a migrant numbers there is definitely the concern. how that is going to impact my community. have a large number of seniors elders. this could really affect so we're hoping that border patrol 'd will start testing before they release people were wanting to see what their health records are so that we can ensure our our citizens are protected this is a crisis the simplest. none of this on border patrol i put it strictly on

the federal government as far as the current administration needs to step up and so we're going to offer this they need to do their job they need to have a plan in place obviously there was no plan. turkey has pulled out of an international treaty combating violence against women the council of europe which initially proposed the convention is called the decision devastating but anchor is adamant that it won't lead to backsliding on women's rights which are protected by domestic will the guarantee of women's rights are present in our current laws you know krista to sion our judicial system is dynamic and strong enough to implement new regulations says need it. the convention was proposed in 2011 it's aimed at legislation in signatory countries to prevent domestic violence and to promote gender equality is exit leaves $33.00 nations who have ratified it moves all rights activists holding

a protest in the streets of istanbul voters this way banners calling on the government to stay in the treaty they've been increasing calls from the opposition and women's rights activists to tackle the country's rise in domestic violence. ok let's discuss this in more detail now. with carp and he's a columnist at the daily star bar and. feminist and welcome to you both ladies 1st this convention. in theory helps protect women for domestic violence so what would be the rationale of the turkish government to withdraw from such an agreement . i mean i believe that man who commits a crime science should be executed but someone's disagreement me on that does that make someone that's cause and about some science not me know this is a defense of matters of how to come from values against women and also it should be

noted that this summer comanche was not a whole attacks that all states through our sign for instance the u.s. canada. did not understand it and france and germany they also think there is a relation how this can actually there are 2 basic. objects and 1st of all the convention brings about it quite well we call practice to come from violence but that the definition of violence is quite ambiguous for instance violence is divided into 4 categories it's not ultimately who might come violence sexual violence and psychological bites and even home and feels she did not suffer from any of these carry griego final but if she feels that she might suffer from this character in so why don't you can call the police and the police

will take the man in question usually the husband away from home for at least 3 months sometimes 6 months or more so the man is taken away from home by police force if the hormone feels that she might suffer from mild and also the general outlook. also doesn't speak to the turkish public as well for instance if it has body shots as wife who is chilling out here. if he says bad verse to heart this can also be considered as a crime and there is a ration and this man who has just been cheated on can also be taken away from his arm and also if their mother or father. gets their teenage daughter to have premarital sex again under the squire mansion this is ours are because they don't as a crime that the state should take measures against them so i'm sorry to interrupt

you i just want to bring in get her reaction to some of the things you were saying and that kind of point you made that. yeah and just just to see what she thinks about that comment that you know this convention doesn't really fit in with turkish domestic law. i would like to cal as interaction is turkey is the 1st country to ratify the convention in trying to level and by undertaking to obligations to prevent may violent punish perpetrators we do do from the stumble commission one might with the president's decision. to all are wrong the contract is a big trauma and disaster in fact and we refused we ted row from the istanbul convention and if i do i wonder how was did as

a party that blows the thought of being the 1st signal to be came like this in 10 years that the ministers. can really handily minister make such a diet statement i never ever agree with these. believe and open your mouth and nobody impose this contract on us. this is this is the life and turkey sign the contract will be willing to live and last summer i can pay based on lines held against the contractors campbell conversation is the rot mess at that stage wishing to prevent may violence should follow. we as a women and in fact nobody this fact traditional will

use essentially the contract has nothing to do we traditional way and basically it's only about gender sexuality and about man's nonviolent against women kids as e.d.t. i individuals the point is they all hostile they all hostile to the whole coalition because they are against gender killed it. hello it was mentioned turkey was the 1st country to sign up for this and it's been in place for a long time what's changed that this needs to now be withdrawn. well what looks good on pinker may not always be a good reality after turkey scientists go hand shouldn't there also came about a lot that is still in place by the way i think and it's not people who should know

as a lawyer the law that came with this call gnashing still in place so. the practice of this law. the practice is that came a butler that caused an uproar in public. being flanders take taken away from their heart and from their kids without showing any evidence of violence by the way and also the rise of the l.g.b. to discourse in jerky because as you know core national brings about 7 s. clear lexicon that forces the sexual orientation actually allegedly took the solution and all the connotations that come with it and also defines the art and art as a so-called phenomena now poor and i am against anyone adds. in the name of other such as we see in other killings but if you negate the importance of the well your who were other than i cannot accept that because other as

a word as its none are also marriage as an institution is important for turks but salmon see these 2 things. as a hoax enslaving the invent and that these things should be destroyed according to that in order to emancipate oh man there are some you reconcile that will this lets with being turkish people's understanding of their. i know my way is a national. cell and rights groups are saying that there's been a sharp rise in family size in turkey in recent years and suggests that being part of the convention it wasn't really doing enough to protect women it wasn't working . the point is the contract has never been implemented. even if it's light to the know today know what is the

contract and did they even read it one i don't think so and also only 7 part and also 1st id in turkey tax part from contract all the 7 per cent. they have an idea about contract but no information all day today is unreal the stumble commission which is also the main prevent of the wild caught 6 to 8 paws it's the violence caught in shortly there all the attention for gender in actuality as a source of violence. to support of the human with a holistic approach and. it centers and emphasizes the friendship of the violence as well as well as the growing protection of to be human

wrong while i'm. told he. was. actually killed so it is still part of the convention but the point is and this contract has never implemented. it just remains that on paper the contract has been in effect. to ante faulty but never ever applied where this contract is a low according to our constitution. for instance as a lawyer. the judge we demand that in our slow cases. and the judge did not even respond alric is. due to comment sion the number of famous 5 would have been made news.
