hungary's foreign minister. this week. from the european. a few. days before the. detective for the 1st time in new york.

when i was a child and we had. something the u.s. president despite. being the big stories from the past 7 days on right up to the moment developments this is that we will welcome. several leaders are urging the block's medicine agency to approve the vaccine as europe reading's itself for a 3rd wave of. concerning sputnik v. and other vaccines i strongly insist that the relevant e.u.

bodies issue not authorize asian safe vaccines as soon as possible the more vaccines we have the better for. us and also sent him stuff as far as the russian vaccine is concerned i 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. the few of our politicians will companies across europe look like they might break ranks with the european regulators to earlier this month firms in a number of a you countries in deals to produce sputnik but they're all still waiting on the blocks regulator to approve the drug it's no big north arised by 46 nations europe slovakia and hungry already rolling out the job. in fact hungry foreign minister has become the 1st top official from an e.u.

member state to receive the sputnik the vaccine peter c r to his country is expecting to receive an additional $680000.00 doses of the shots over the next 2 weeks on green was also the 1st e.u. nation to approve sputnik 3 since their. 1000000 hungry and have received a 1st dose of the vaccine earlier we spoke to mr c r 2 who himself battle colbert some months ago he told us that politics shouldn't be a priority when lives are at stake. vaccine is not a question of ideology for us is a matter of saving lives and if we had not contracted the chinese and russian vaccine and have saved the health care and their 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 to negotiations with minister month to roll unused 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 which i haue a lot in accelerating the vaccination in hungary you said it's rightly more don't want 14000000 now do they just mourning even more and more than 1500000 i'm gary and have already been vaccinated the hunger in foreign minister speaking about sputnik via another recovered vaccine. nordic countries are extending a freeze on the use of it that's the spike the european medicines agency concluding on thursday that the drug was safe and effective let's allow our to skate to take us through developments. but several scandinavian countries still unsure about

losing this vaccine that 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 and no way would want to thoroughly review the situation before make a conclusion while blood clots eye is the issue that's being discussed over and over nots initially will the main was investigating over the last week o. cing but there have been of the 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 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 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 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 know that'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 never 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 that there were 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. to have one. big issues that need to be resolved. new york has reported its 1st case of the highly contagious brazil strain of covert it comes just after the us health department publicly boasted it tried to dissuade brazil from using the sputnik vaccine a move branded by the kremlin us on precedented severe or senior correspondent brooke as the texas throughout we've all heard about back to deals to secure the shipment countries trampling each other to get those precious jobs these says the 1st time 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 couvade deaths worldwide are in brazil and these people a boosting that they help prevent inoculations in brazil with one of the 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 dissin from ation 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

a threat to mankind it is above politics saving and we're talking here about medians of lives is paramount but the. agree 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 coronavirus 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 lives by its admission in the report the us health department says it does not comment on vaccines not approved by the f.d.a. and won't prevent countries from using drugs they have authorized and selves. and choose the joe biden gave an interview in which he was asked whether russia's president was a killer he answered yes the plumber putin would pay the price for alleged interference in u.s. elections law school responded by calling its u.s. envoy back to the russian capital for talks on the state of relations with

washington. 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 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 but the present by regret

calling. you know the president gave a direct answer to a direct question that's 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's relationship with the russians will be very different from what we've seen over the last 3 years and we've already seen evidence of that the boy administration took around 2 months to allow this new sanctions targeting russia ordered from 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 you 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 well with the black lives 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 biden to continue the discussion in parson in an uncensored live 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 the problem is said will take further silence as a no 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. this is r.t. international still ahead of thora he's a long america's southern border are raising the alarm for a record number of seeing migrants who they also fear are not being tested properly for co but if you're a local nurse concerned with the right. join

me every. weekend to yes. i'm sure. i'll see you.

monday 10 years since the outbreak of war in syria. people have been killed in the conflict millions more displaced by 2015 almost half the country was occupied by be islamic state terror group which is when the russian military decided to put its weight. government since then russia has become an integral part of the peace process. ceasefire agreement moscow's also been supplying humanitarian aid to the syrian people are. the reports from syria about russia's role in the country.

this may mean russian air base here in fear is no more than colvin so 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 went further in the fades predicted it was a very important moment then russian abby ation played a very important role might see one of the name changed was among the 1st pilots to

come here back in 2015 with wildstorm global war 2015 and things were close to the point of no return as 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 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 hall for peace for syria and the reason sense of real kong here. was

a weaker and weaker than 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 syria's civilian population. it's go in 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 and 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. they cannot exceed to ation is there are difficult we cannot provide our children with the most basic necessities for study i want things to see red 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 up some galleries shut down and fear in the air that it could be shelled 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 i jobless but they say please this guy's evolve and now clear brief an ocean ati from damascus in syria. protests are now being held in the u.k. against the new police saying build a sunday there have been some 10 scenes critically in the city of bristol with activists attempting to topple

a pole least. i . reports coming in a few moments ago that the police one is actually on fire the rally occurred on the slogan kill the bill it's all about a new draft law which have passed will give the authorities greater powers to restraint public gatherings in england and wales bombers were on display with the message say no to u.k. police state voltage being major rallies police stations in cardiff and other. cities. across the atlantic where local authorities along america's southern border are calling on the government to step in the region faces a record influx of migrants u.s. border patrol is struggling to provide covert secure shelter for thousands of people the murder of a tonne or a zone

a 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 arizona cities have seen and we were hoping to keep it that way unfortunately it doesn't look with them dropping these migrants in our community untested southern states saying sitting on his own and taxes have borne the brunt of a migrant influx a recent poll suggests there is growing dollars about the ability of the authorities to cope with the situation in the us mexico border particularly amid the pun demick the biden ministration has the ploy to disaster agency fema to deal with the situation. again believes the federal government either didn't think through the situation or don't care if there is definitely the concern of coven and how that it's going to impact my community i have

a large number of seniors and elders that. this could really affect so we're hoping that border patrol will start testing and before they release people we're wanting to see what their health records are so that we can ensure that our our citizens are protected if this is a crisis simple as that and i'm putting none of this on border patrol i put this strictly on the federal government as far as the current administration needs to step up and 3rd going to offer this they need to do their job they need to have a plan in place obviously there was no plan or minor for up to the moment global news developments as we enter a new week to give our twitter page a follow the help it's just keep coming there life from moscow this is our to international.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person with those great. thinks . we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to go in front cation let it be an arms race is on often scary dramatic developments 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. a. little. different.
