in the headlines all to make. lays down a final warning to astra zeneca that it could block. exports britain far from happy if that the meantime. the central. procurement procedure managed by brussels has failed speaking to r.t. direct hungary's foreign minister condemns the e.u.'s handling of its inoculation program and urges of blocks medicines watchdog to approve russia's sputnik v. i and other news to turkey insists its laws offer enough protection as international condemnation grows against and chris pull out from

a global treaty violence against with. other good afternoon my name is kevin owen here for next half hour with the latest for you and 1st the e.u. u.k. crisis over covert vaccine deliveries is deepening brussels is no double down on threats to ban shot exports over chronic delays in distribution and made a failing more general inoculation campaign. we have the possibility to ban planned exports this is a message to astra zeneca you fulfil your part of the deal towards euro before you start to deliver to other countries it seems that the e.u. could be holding back millions of vaccines that are due to be transported to the u.k. in the next few weeks if it takes that decision to suspend the next to be

ok now the move has incensed u.k. government ministers as you can imagine but also opposition party the labor party standing by u.k. government on this particular point calling for calm from the new i would urge the european commission to calm down the language cool the rhetoric and that's try and work together to get through this crisis. what seems most bizarre is the fact that this is over astra zeneca jobs coming to the e.u. or not enough and that's because there is a huge amount of mistrust in this particular vaccine just for example here in france it's so high that only 20 percent of people say that they have faith in that job and as we know over the last week 19 european countries decide this to suspend astra zeneca over fears of safety in regards to blood clots and despite the fact that the european medical say didn't see as once again rubber stamped it that's not

good enough for some e.u. countries who are still holding back and while. big wigs are talking about the idea of not getting enough astra zeneca doses to hear what they're not talking about is how many doses european countries are just sitting on millions and millions of doses that have yet to be used here now i also want to talk about what's happening in france because astra zeneca has been restarted as a campaign again but there's new advice from the french health authorities here which means it can now only be used for over 50 five's completely different advice to what we had just a few weeks ago where president machen was saying that it was quasi effective for all their age groups and that some u.k. experts is causing a problem in undermining confidence it doesn't make any sense the whole thing looks completely crackers they're changing the rules almost every week they're really damaging people's confidence in vaccines generally they're sitting on

a massive stockpile of vaccines that they haven't deployed yet and at the same time they've got a massive wave of the new variants coming across the country you could make it up there's also a question about how much of this row is about the e.u. trying to deflect attention from how poorly it's handled this crisis something it itself has admitted and of course let's not forget one of the u.k. was in. whited to join the joint profumo scheme with the e.u. despite breaks it the e.u. politely declined and said we're going to do it our own way and as a result of that they speeding ahead with their vaccination program just to put that into context 51 percent of all adults in the u.k. have received at least one dose of a vaccine and compare that to around 10 percent here across the e.u. as a whole and the fake is really sort of paint a picture of how starkly different the campaigns are and some might say that this is now the e.u. throwing a bit of a tantrum and it's ready to throw the baby out with the bath water. and try to plug

the hole to find a good talk of the witch that hungary's top diplomats called on the european medicines agency to approve russia's sputnik v after he got the job the countries joined slovakia in already deploying the shot delays and rolling out the western alternatives italy's also announced a deal to make the in an interview with us hungary's foreign minister also explained why the e.u. distribution system is in his view failing. vaccine is not a question of ideology for us it is a matter of saving lives and if we had not contracted the chinese and and russian the vaccine have saved the healthcare added health and the lives of many hungry aryans the hungry a national regulator has approved the emergency use authorization for use so i have no concern of i was the one that asked by our

government to negotiate with the russian federation about to have her chasing. after long syria's open negotiations and we were able to sign our contracts which i haue a lot in accelerating the vaccination in hungary. there are 2 ways you need europe according to the european regulations how a vaccine going to get approvals one day is definitely truly e m 8 european medicines agency through a l.s.e. organ the rehab procedure but you don't get the regulations also say there's another way in case of emergency and that these other way should be completed by the national regulators would use for the emergency even. so the fact that the hungary a national regulator has issue with emergency use or for i offer a zation is nothing you know against their regulations and and that's what made us

a little bit fed up you know that the way hungary has approved this we knew it was going to do dirty in the western part of your opening global media as if we had made something of gays or your better educations which is which is not true you wrote the regulations say very clearly that in a case of emergency you can make such an. icon give you an explanation why e.m.e.a. is so slow of course of course i mean bureaucratic out. explanations can be even any time they can say to day to day expect more documentation based by the russian look on the part of loosened up i don't know what i see is what i see is that there are vaccines in the world which are used by millions and millions of people believed russian or chinese but are these are not authorized here in iraq you know once again you are going to get promotions can be easily given and you fine but this is not the father a few says about the lives of the people but more wrecks and you have more people

you can say but i think very simple at least to speak about for sure. the decentralized procurement procedure managed by brussels has failed as fair because regardless of the promises and the expectations there are much less vaccines arriving and in march or slower compared to. before why it became obvious that the shipments. managed on foreign aid by brussels are not satisfactory we've around there at that and by the same people by the same bureaucrats by the same politicians why we want to buy additional vaccines for our own people or our own people and i think this is a this is a matter of obligation over state of the government to protect the lives of its own

people. testers have hit the streets of turkey after a pulled out of a major international treaty combating violence against women thousands of demonstrators flooded a stumble over the weekend holding banners demanding that the government stay in the treaty global rights groups warn the withdrawal will bring more violence against women the european union is called on turkey to reverse its decision after the council of europe branded the devastating. this move is if he said back and all the more deplorable the course that compromises the protection of women in turkey across europe and beyond. the landmark world convention was proposed in 2011 to prevent domestic violence and to promote gender equality however he says it undermines family values and has a pro l g b t agenda the group has been ratified by $33.00 nations so far and korea assists its existing laws already fully protect women we discussed the decision then with

turkish experts. well little good on pink or may not always be good. convention brings an. acquired medical practice to call from my lips but at the this edition of violence is this contract has never implemented. it just remains on pay for the contract has been in effect for you to anti the never ever life where the contract is a law according to our constitution marriage as an institution is important for. some and see these things. as a whole and slaving the image and also the rise of the l.g.b. to discourse injured because as you know who mentioned brings about salmon in square let's call that forces the sexual orientation to be

a legitimate submission and connotations that come with it in place and nobody. this fact traditional where you play surely the contract has nothing to do we could add issue no way to basically it's only about gender actually and about man now my little again. i individuals the fact is that came about with the codes are now grown in college man being slandered taken away. from their not showing any evidence of violence by way the point is the contract has never been implemented last summer camp a they only lie. out against the contract dumble conversation

in your net at that time. we shoot the play ran made a violent the point is they all try they all are part trying to do all crowing. because they are against. the checkouts world news in brief. louis these pictures in last evening from the west of england 2 offices injured and rioters destroying police vans and setting some of them alight as rallies in the south western u.k. city of bristol really took heat last night against controversial new law enforcement plans problem is debating a bill to significantly boost police powers including setting time and noise limits on protests activists call the bill an attack on civil rights they say the freedom to protest. took place far in water cannons to disperse and to lock down rallies in

a member of the ruling christian democratic union party told me diversity of supply is on. the greens are more or less an arm of the us internationalist elite. they've been there done that for a while they are more or less completely. following the us strategy or they are not looking after germany the party that have in their mind of the program basically to abolish germany and you can see that on all fronts and so they point towards ukraine and we should look for german interests 1st we should look for european interests 1st and it's very worthwhile and good for europe and for germany to diversify its energy sources and not to be dependent on one direction because if you're dependent on one direction almost looks like mafia tactics you take away the the the activity and then you provide the stuff yourself and of course it's good

for germany to have energy sources from russia directly and from the west and from wherever but not from one direction please. the greens claim north stream 2 would hurt the country's climate and renewable energy commitments as well as its international standing now your correspondent next peter all of our reports from berlin about it. germany's green party have been setting out their election promises ahead of this year's national vote scrapping the nord stream to gas pipeline is being given top billing but the greens stance puts them in lock step with the biden administration in washington secretary of state antony blinken has also just announced that the infrastructure project should be stopped and that businesses involved in the pipeline could face sanctions any entity involved in the north stream to pipeline risks u.s. sanctions and should immediately abandon work on the pipeline costing just over 9000000000 euros the old stream too is already more than 95 percent complete it

will allow russian gas to flow directly into germany under the baltic sea and could be used to bypass existing pipelines which take gas through ukraine which would cost valuable transit fees the pipeline is seen by some politicians as the only way for germany to get the energy it needs while facilitating the move away from nuclear and coal. we are the only highly industrialized country which at the same time wants to get rid of nuclear energy in kovel those who use a huge amount of nuclear energy such as micron have an easier task to replace fossil fuels this is a bold move from the greens it puts at risk a potential correlation between themselves and the conservative union which had been widely talked up ahead of september's vaught christian democratic union leader remains on track to be angular merkle successor chancellor that's despite strong gains by the greens and

a corruption scandal over m.p.'s earning extra money through lobbying taking its toll on his party in polling he is regarded as an economic pragmatist when it comes to the pipeline and the gas it would provide the conservatives are the only ones willing to finish the project. the greens always have a special position visibly russia instead of rejecting the shameless u.s. threat and interference in germany there be sickly asking the us to enforce sanctions thus turning themselves into lobbyists for dirty inexpensive us fracking gas which is not green at all. there and just incision is important to protect the climates and group will be serious if you want to remain competitive if we want to secure in this industry status and if we want to secure prosperous e for everyone transitions acknowledging my has been place running with such a big foreign and economic policy front and center is a big gamble from the greens it suggests that they think that they could win the

election in september because if they don't and they were to enter into a coalition government with the conservatives as the junior partner well that could well require a large policy climbdown peter all of our r.t. . check in with r.t. today guys always appreciate it here on me of course now coming up looking back. ahead of the 200 year anniversary of napoleon's death opinion is sharply divided to this day over the former french need his legacy we're talking about it when the. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or inmate in the shallows.

again so a genius leader or a mass murderer will france's plans to mark the 200th anniversary of napoleon bonaparte death of splits opinion with the new york times launching a vicious attack on the former and pereira. as a black woman of haitian descent and a scholar of french colonial ism i find it particularly galling to see that france plans to celebrate the man who restored slavery to the french caribbean an architect of modern genocide his troops created gas chambers to kill my ancestors further critics plus napoleon's brutal military campaigns across europe in asia but on the other side of it many also spring in his defense to insisting he boosted social institutions along the way and led the foundations of today's legal system one top political commentator told us the attacks are too selective. says the new

york times and as we know the new york times has become a propaganda instrument of a certain strain of work a scholarship in which you go hunt people to oppose and on to insult i'm not going to sort of take sides on this when slavery is a bad thing it was abolished forever in france in $845.00 it was only abolished in america any $165.00 it was abolished in russia uneaten 60 we're not the last there's no reason it's no reason to essentially start criticizing the podium because you have it in for france in general which is what the new york times has had consistently the last few years the new york times article comes amid a wider assault on historical figures now considered unprogressive these days but. again says that simply ignoring the facts. what's going on this thing called critical race theory which is really dangerous 1st of all you teach a simplified caricatural of history that does not reflect anything as complex that

what happened and then when people have no memory and no culture you can practically tell them anything that the whole point is to criticize a certain type of colonialist if you take the ottoman empire if you take which which is the longest. serving i mean longest acting colonial powers more than half a 1000000 years and who were quite ferocious against our populations and who practiced slavery nobody talks about that they will only talk about a certain type of western europeans because they've decided that they were everything that is illegal. is hollywood style murder plot and putin a british tabloid and combining some outlandish claims as hysteria mounts following joe biden's recent labeling of the russian president as quote a killer the city correspondent would go as diverse the latest on it. could vladimir putin be planning a disaster glee yet cartoonish killing spree against his critics abroad he could

according to this a full piece of paper written in typewriter font to apparently make it more all minnes typewriter and cartoonish because it is apparently written by an idiot with a poncho and for more movies bad more movies we have orders to whack the mole so dan is out of his mind with rage and his instructions being enacted we have long arms this vermin won't be able to hide from us according to the legend this letter was written by a spook a russian f.s.b. agent to develop the conscious and decided to warn putin's critics that von is coming after them so hoover is assured in deering terms for vladimir move on is st slagged for vladimir because if the all menace typewriter script didn't convince you that this was real move on lucia street slang definitely will.

as for volkov the naive nincompoop thinks he's safe he could be kidnapped and transported to russia or is luggage over the nincompoop so the author pretends he's from the f.s.b. the federal security service part of their responsibilities god russia's borders you would think that in efforts be agent would know how border checkpoints work it so happens that when you drive out of the european union they actually check your trunk it would also raise a lot of questions and someone walked up to this high for this medium profile putin critic who is guarded by european intelligence agencies knocks him over the head shoves him in the trunk and drives down the route with a rush of this way science about this plan to try and kidnap him 1st by knocking him out and then injecting him with a special drug so one god they plowed on kidnapping shoving him in

a car trunk driving him to russia and killing him there why is anyone's guess another by knocking him out injecting him with stuff also smuggling him to russia before killing him another by using no veto and so on if there are any problems they'll torture him to death somewhere in a remote forest it all asli reads like cringeworthy screenplay 101 astoundingly creative yet astonishingly stupid ways to kill people all 102 sorry as for nivelle me they're going to crush him using the convicts they'll break him and drive him to hang himself and any rate their orders to make the patient break shut up and stay silent they're going to do everything break his mind is psychologically tortured him or as another alternative the patient might suddenly

contract a quickly progressing form of coded all. of this they managed to fit on a single a 4 piece of paper now anyone who knows russian will look at this and they're going to laugh it's really that stupid but if you're english language media you could just pick out and translate the quotes the duende give away how stupid it all is and view is an f. none the wiser with an all minutes redacted a full piece of paper written in scary russian in all menace typewriter fog to boot perfect of some more trotty propaganda and the authors the authors make no secret of what they want they long for any potential sanctions it's well known that no country is brave enough to sanction verne's in a circle all his pocket only go so every single one of the people that are on this least have recently called for sanctions against russia out of nowhere they get

this badly written letter the details are a comically stupid plan to kidnap a bunch of people and then kill them all through ha ha we love you with sanctions you are too chicken to sanction russia jokes aside it's a sad state of affairs that we even have to cover this one for the bin then according to more goes the of thank you for watching this program that's what it's all about it's over to to see so much more check it out tito comment of a social media don't go on our main site you go to comment section of us know what you think about the stories we're covering too for now given how insulting off of a good day. the be.
