huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives lost. foreign minister becomes the 1st senior official from an country to receive russia's vaccine along with one and a half 1000000 of his compatriots we hear from the minister himself but sr is not a question of ideology. is a mother of saving lives and in the stories of the week the astra zeneca vaccine is given the ok from the european of medicines agency after a blood clot fears but u.k. doctors say some patients are canceling appointments for the shot. u.s. department of health admits to pressuring brazil not to use the vaccine days before the highly infectious brazilian strain of corona virus is detected for the 1st time in new york also ahead. used to live when i was

a child and we had all of the we would say me and sticks to you. in response to joe biden branding him a killer the u.s. president's view came despite recently claiming diplomacy is back. broadcasting live from our studios in moscow recapping the week's top stories with our weekly program this is our international. right now several leaders are urging the block's medicines agency to approve russia's sputnik vaccine as europe readies itself for a 3rd cold wave. consenting v. and other vaccines i strongly insist that the relevant e.u. bodies issue it with rice asian safe vaccines as soon as possible the more vaccines we have the better fits. us and also sent him stuff and bernanke is fired the

russian vaccine is considering have held the view for some time that we should use each vaccine that is approved by the european imagist says agence singh but if a new such european or do an 8 and i have seen no indication that it will be german you would have to go and download that is a possibility and this would do companies across europe look like they might break ranks with the european regulator as well earlier this month firms and a number of e.u. countries agreed to deals to produce food mcvie but they are still waiting on the blocks regulator to approve the drug it is now been authorized by 46 nations and europe's slovakia and hungry are already rolling up a shop in fact hungry foreign minister has become the 1st top official from an e.u. member state to receive the russian vaccine peter says the his country is expecting to receive an additional $680000.00 doses of the shot over the next 2 weeks hungry

was also the 1st nation to approve movie since then some one and a half 1000000 hunger ins have received a 1st dose earlier we spoke to mr c. yard so who himself battled coded some months ago he believes politics shouldn't be a priority when lives are at stake. that scene is not a question of ideology for us is a matter of saving lives and if we had not contracted the chinese and russian the vaccine we could have saved the health care and the health and the lives of many hungry and the hungry a 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 russian federation of aa with the purchasing. i have started going to go with minister month when we used to hold back at the end

of october before i got real 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 than $1400000.00 now do they just mourning even more more than $1500000.00 on the areas have already been vaccinated. nordic countries are extending a freeze on the use of the astra zeneca vaccine that is despite the european medicines agency concluding on thursday the drug was safe and effective are reports that several scandinavian countries still sure about losing this vaccine that start with finland which has now suspended the use of the astra zeneca jab while 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 we want to thoroughly review the situation before we make a conclusion well blood clots eye is the issue that's been just cussed over and over knots initially will be the main was investigating over the last week 06 but there have been of the much more serious effects that some say are 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 that press conference on thursday is that the vaccines benefit in protecting. people form 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 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 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 may also on thursday suggested that they were a possible increased risk of blood clots for those under the age of $55.00 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 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 point. looks at madison's and decides if it's to approve them so the idea that country isn't now questioning to double check the fake is 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 no 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 roxanne i would prefer to have one. big issues that need to be resolved. new york has reported its 1st case of the highly contagious brazilian

strain of covert it comes just after the us health department admitted it tried to dissuade brazil from using the sputnik vaccine a move branded by the kremlin as unprecedented and severe artie's but i've got comments we've all heard about 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 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 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 in vaccines are above politics and accused russia

of undermining innoculation 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 these. 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 brute nick 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 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 lifesaving job so we're fishelson washington can go to sleep at night feeling good and safe well despite its admission in the report the us health department says it does not comment on vaccines not approved by the have to be a and won't prevent countries from using drugs they have authorized themselves. on tuesday joe biden gave an interview in which he was asked whether russia's president was a killer he answered yes and vowed that vladimir putin would pay the price for alleged interference in u.s. elections moscow responded by recalling its ambassador to the u.s. to discuss 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. 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 it 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 who. know the president gave a direct answer to a direct question about suicide 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 what old front took around the same time when he came to office back in 2017 to announce his 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. 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 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 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 person in an uncensored law eve 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 travel in the said will take further silence as i know 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. what is a long america's southern border are raising the alarm over a record number of amassing of migrants who they also fear aren't being tested properly for cold if you're a local mayor is concerned after a short like this is that we are not international.

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

welcome back to the weekly right here in our international now monday marked 10 years since the outbreak of war in syria hundreds of thousands of people have been killed in the conflict and millions more displaced by 2015 almost half the country was occupied by the islamic state terror group which is when the russian military answered the call of the syrian government since then russia has become an integral part of the peace process helping broker and monitor last year's ceasefire agreement moscow has also been supplying humanitarian aid to the shattered country artie's reports from syria. let me 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.

was. taken by declaring that a government our forces were meant for their defeats predicted it was a very important moment then russian abby ation played a very important role see what over the name changed was among the 1st pilots to come here back in 2015 with wildstorm global 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. and push the enemy back 70 kilometers. from a mame 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. the base is unique in its 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 the 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 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 clubs not books for study i want things to see read the way they used to be. given that 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 helpful. territories and supplied us with wheat and rice i remember the streets 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 old locals still spend hours queuing for fuel bread so many of them my job is but they say please this

guys evolve i now clear brief an ocean on ati from damascus in syria. protests were held across the u.k. on sunday against a new policing bill violent scenes were seen in the english city of bristol with activists torching a police van. the rally took place under the slogan kill the bill the new draft law if passed will give the authorities greater powers to restrict public gatherings in england and wales banners were on display with the message say no to u.k. police state there have also been rallies outside police stations in cardiff and other well cities. local authorities along america's southern

border are calling on the government to step in as the region faces a record influx of migrants u.s. border patrol is struggling to provide covert secure shelter for thousands of people the mayor of a town in arizona told us 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 including arizona and texas have borne the brunt of the migrant flocks recent poll suggests that there is growing doubt about the ability of the authorities to cope with the situation amid the pandemic biden administration has deployed the disaster agency fema mayor chris riggs went on to tell us that he believes the federal government either didn't think through the

situation or doesn't see it as a priority there is definitely the concern of cove and how that it's going to impact my community i have a large number of seniors and elders. this could really affect so we're hoping that border patrol 'd will start testing and before they release people we're wanting to see what their health records are so that we can ensure our our citizens are protected that this is a crisis simple as that and i'm 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 for this they need to do their job they need to have a plan in place obviously there was no plan. by the dozen for me this i'll be back in about 32 minutes with another full and fresh look at your weekly international.

americans. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get a hope and then you know rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. and think about the longer deeper history. in the united states not just that question of the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream is for.

it was the last resort it was like. the mob was really generous with everything they gave the rooms away the drinks. making money on the gamble. food rooms and all that was just the service to keep the machines turning and you always felt welcome even if you were poor because you were all poor. you could lose all the money that you had and you'd be comped dinners and breakfasts is in rooms and everybody was a high roller when they came to vegas you come back near the next year and blow your money again and was skimming the. turf to the extent that they didn't

want to draw attention to the street criminals drew attention so they stopped cherry put in a shallow grave over. the old. when the mob veranda town people didn't lock their doors at night it was considered to be a safe town back then. to mean money off the casinos and not paying taxes on that money but in the 1980 s. they started getting caught so you're starting to see a transition from the old with a bit roses to running the place this is a totally integrated man who turned up the wattage in las vegas. when he set off a building boom in the 1980 s. turned a bunch of gambling joints into an international tourist by steve when was the reason why vegas is the way it is he's responsible for. the mirage he changed las vegas tropical setting with you.
