hungary's foreign minister becomes the 1st senior official from any. vaccine along with. we spoke to. seniors not. perceiving. the vaccine is given the ok from the european medicines agency after fears that blood clots but doctors say some patients are canceling appointments. and the u.s. department of health admits to pressure. days after the highly infectious

brazilian strain of corona virus is protected for the 1st time in new york. when i was a child and we had all. we would say. in response to. a killer something the u.s. president. of the. big stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well this is the week the antarctic. several e.u. leaders are urging the block's medical agency to approve the sputnik vaccine europe ready for a 3rd wave of. concerning sputnik v. and other vaccines i strongly insist that the relevant e.u.

bodies issue now with rice asian 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 magistrate'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 looked like they might break ranks with the european regulator earlier this month firms in a number of the e.u. countries in deals to produce the russian job but they're all still waiting on the blocks regulator to approve the. publically been authorized by 46 nations in europe slovakia and hungary are already rolling out the job. in my hungary's foreign minister has become the 1st top official from an e.u.

member state to receive the sputnik the vaccine peter c r 2 ses his country is expecting to receive an additional 680000 doses of the russian shot over the next 2 weeks hungry was also the 1st e.u. nation to approve publicly since then more than 1400000 hungry and have received a 1st dose of the vaccine earlier we spoke to mr c. r. to he told us that politics shouldn't be a focus when life is in. fact seen is not a question of ideology for us is a matter of saving lives and if you had not contracted chinese and russian vaccine we have saved 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 go with mr mom to roland mused back at the end of october before i got to don't actually and after a long series of negotiations of we were able to sign our contract we share a lot in accelerating the vaccination in hungary you said it's rightly more than 1400000 now today just morning even more than 1500000 i'm gary and i want to be in vaccinated. scandinavian countries are extending a freeze on the use of the astra zeneca a covert vaccine that's despite the european medicines agency concluding on thursday about the drug was safe and effective taking us through developments here start to you shortly. several scandinavian countries still unsure about losing

this vaccine but 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 the 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 in no way want to thoroughly review the situation before make a conclusion while blood clots eye is the issue that's been discussed over and over nots initially will be the main was investigating over the last week or so but there have been of the much more serious effects that some say linked 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 coronavirus related deaths or hospitalisations continued to outweigh the possible links as a result of taking the astra zeneca vaccine and that's why. they reapproved to rubber stamp 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 saying 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 you 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 is 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. 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 a 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 this is the party that looks at medicines and decides if it's to approve them so the idea that countries and 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 there are not enough vaccines to prevent

a 3rd 1000 wave here in europe and many people may now be saying you know actually i don't want i would to have one. big issues that need to be resolved. new york has reported its 1st case of a highly contagious brazilian strain of covert it comes just after the us health department publicly posted that they tried to dissuade brazil from using the sputnik vaccine a move branded by the kremlin precedented surveyor senior correspondent because the if takes us through that we've all heard the bat deals to secure that shipment countries trampling each other to get those precious jobs these says the 1st stop we've heard of back door deals to deny people a vaccine the us 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 this 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

couvade deaths worldwide are in brazil and these 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 these are the same people who claim that lives and 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 well darden 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. 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 car and 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 why i gree with the russian foreign minister yes they are politicizing vaccination politicising lives that's obvious but i'm not entirely sure that the countries that the u.s. 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 just to follow up on rights report despite its admission in the report the us health department says it doesn't comment on vaccines not approved by the f.d.a. and will prevent countries from using drugs they have authorized themselves. now and tuesday joe biden gave an interview in which he was asked whether russia's president was

a killer he answered yes and putin would pay the price for alleged interference in u.s. elections moscow responded by calling its u.s. envoy back to the russian capital for talks on the state of relations with washington daniel 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. and 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 but 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 calling. you know the president gave a direct answer to a direct question about aside from threats through paying a price and announcing new sanctions hailed as a new approach to dealing with moscow the president's relationship and this administration is 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 allow this new sanctions targeting russia what 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 yours 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 which took a certain american 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 where with the black life mass movement have come from. 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 now on the south reflection and the 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 boyd and to continue the discussion in parson in an uncensored law

of online broadcast something that may be unprecedented in such high level talks which would lose weight but 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 traveling the said will take further silence as i know and while we 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. authorities along america's southern border are raising the along with over a record number of passing migrants they also fear are being tested thoroughly for

covert we hear a local nurse concerns up to the bridge. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. clearly dramatic to follow only closely. 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.

thinks. we are here to ask. mark 10 years since the eye prick of war in syria hundreds of thousands of people have been killed in the conflict and millions of civilians displaced by 2015 almost half the country was occupied by the islamic state terror group which is when the russian military the subject the put its weight behind the syrian government since then russia has become a man tyrrel parts of the peace process helping broker and monitor last year's

ceasefire agreement moscow has also been supplying humanitarian aid to the syrian people. for national reports not from syria about russia's role in the country. let me i mean russian air base here and fear is northern province of what track it takes up a relatively small piece of land but it helped win the whole country back how i'll show you follow me. i. was. taken by surprise that the government our forces were further defeated predicted it was

a very important moment then russian abby ation played a very important role might seem you would know the name changed was among the 1st pilots to come here back in 2015 with wildstorm group in 2015 things were close to the point of no return the country could have ceased to exist our forces played a crucial role in the conflict. to give you an understanding of how intensive to mission has been since the start in the 1st 24 hours with the help of russian navy ation the syrian army managed to take back 8 villages and push the enemy back 70 kilometers. per. hour. from a main air base thought it was several tense in the middle of nowhere headed grew

to a real town with streets and boulevards a church and a dream cafes and restaurants bakeries and beauty saloon it is a symbol health peace for syria and the reason sense of real kong here. was a weaker and weaker love the base is unique in. location climatic conditions speed of deployments and the missions it carries out. but ending the war is just the 1st step in bringing live in syria back to normal had a decade of crisis has left too many scars and russian support goes far beyond military victories in the last 5 years russia has helped 2000000 syrian refugees return home main roads were finally cleared and reopened russian medics have also treated around 130000 syrian citizens the defense ministry says nearly 3000

humanitarian operations delivered tons of food water medicine and basic supplies for series civilian population. it's going slowly but life is beginning to fill the streets of series cities once again. the suburbs are no i have spent half of my life i war we've been through a lot we have become patient i feel old even though i look young people have to work harder to cover their expenses and support their families life has become more difficult when we are stronger and ready for any outcome we have to keep on living despite all the difficulties. the economic situation is there are difficult we cannot provide our children with the most basic necessities clubs not books for

study i want things to see read the way they used to be. the war has affected everything life has gotten worse the russians played the biggest role in the crisis they helped us greatly made our lives easier during the economic blockade helped liberate territories and supplied us with wheat. and rice i remember this street in the old city of the capital damascus empty we show ups and galleries shut down and fear in the air that it could be shelved at any moment and it was the same gloomy mood basically all over the country 10 years on locals still spend hours queuing for fuel of bread so many of them my job list but they say please the skies above i now clear brief an ocean an ati from damascus in syria.

local authorities along america's southern border a calling on the government to step in as the region faces a record influx of migrants u.s. border patrol is struggling to provide cope with secure a shelter for thousands of people the murder of a ton in arizona told me 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 yeah we were hoping to keep it that way unfortunately it doesn't look with them dropping these migrants in our community and stood. southern states including our a zone and texas have borne the brunt of the migrant influx and a recent poll suggests there's growing dots about the ability of the authorities to cope with the situation on the us mexico border and made the demick the biden administration has deployed the disaster agency fema to deal with the situation

where chris riggs again believes the federal government didn't think through the situation. there is definitely the concern. how that is going to impact my community. have a large number of seniors and elders that. 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 our project this is a crisis simple as that and i'm 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. this week

we also covered the story of a canadian a tempest who was attacked in montreal while demonstrating against giving puberty blockers to children with gender identity issues chris ellison filmed the assault on his phone it shows several people to mountain leave the area while calling him a trans folks he was left with a broken on after one of the attackers repeatedly hit him with a traffic code he described the incident to me. but i do have to go out on the street i have conversations with people about the purity blocking drug because the media are cute report on what's going on out of nowhere from the road and i think from my left on that i've walked about i don't know how many people 567. people one woman the referee men were just on me i only had about one second notice the signs off me as i wear the sign one sign says children cannot consent to puberty blockers it seems to me like a 100 percent it's a premeditated attack they knew i was there and they came to get me the issue

focuses on drugs that stop the onset of puberty by blocking certain hormones from developing the physical effects eventually wear off when the child stopped taking them however there are many concerns about the lasting impact puberty blockers are having on the if a child goes on puberty blocking drugs from the age of $12.00 to $17.00 and then they come off them there's no magic time machine that gets those 5 years that those years of development are gone and studies also show that the end of criticism doesn't even kick right into gear as soon as you come up and it takes time for the body to adjust and get going again so what's happening is we have all sorts of young adults now in their twenty's who are d. transitioning and canada is going a 100 miles an hour in the wrong direction because we have political people using this as a wedge issue to achieve their political and so they try to say that if we don't want to give kids puberty blocking drugs that somehow we're against the algae be unity but this has nothing to do with that there's no thinking involved in it they

just oh you want to be the other gender ok here you go we're going to stop puberty and you know america's deadliest mass shooting happened 3 and a half years ago in las vegas 58 people were killed hundreds more injured but why subsequently was a lawsuit brought against the victims of the devastating tragedy our documentary money machine investigates next. join me every day. i'm sure. i'll see that. video shows las vegas police waiting in the hallway at the mandalay bay hotel even as stephen paddick continues to murder people.
