absolute nonsense. a special report we travel to one of the world's 1st places the scrapped of code curbs and outs it's officially free restrictions russia's republic of chechnya. live from moscow thanks for joining us today here in our international. welcomes. u.s. medical regulators have forced astra zeneca to admit its covert job is less effective than originally claimed thought he's revealed the may have included outdated information in a vaccine trials shot at doing reports. well astra zeneca is hardly out of the headlines these days and now it's in them because its drug is said to be less effective than originally thought u.s. regulators questioned the efficacy of the astra zeneca job forcing the company to

publish additional data to show what happened in its trials as a result of that we now know that the astra zeneca jab is 3 percent less effective at dealing with symptomatic cases of covert 19 however it is still 100 percent effective at dealing with severe cases including those that require hospitalization this is what astra zeneca has had to say the primary endpoint vaccine efficacy at preventing symptomatic of it 19 where 76 percent occurring 15 days or move after receiving 2 doses given 4 weeks apart well astra zeneca has had a pretty bumpy ride in. after they were all humans about whether it was a filling it's called trapped in the liver and required number 2 says he was also accused of we writing juices from the e.u. to go to the u.k. which has caused a huge storm between the u.k. and the e.u. then of course we had jobs of astra zeneca being suspended last week after

a swathe of european countries to consume they were possible links to blood clots that lead to the european medicines agency this is the main having to really review all of the data and they came to completion again last week that it believes that astra zeneca is a safe vaccine she is. the benefits of the vaccine in combating the still widespread throughout of kovi 19 continue to outweigh the risk of side effects the vaccine is not associated with an increase in the overall risk of blood clots and those who receive it however the e m a said it would now be adding woundings to the medicine to let people know that one of the possible side effects could be blood clotting a warning this already in place in countries. just canada but despite those reassurances from the e m a there hasn't been fully convincing the european countries some european countries like iran spin the ice and have decided that they will stop giving astra zeneca

again in fact some of them already have however they will only give it to populations of old age groups and that's because when the evidence will move things they said in their press conference last week was that the case is that they had seen the blood clotting that could possibly be linked to astra zeneca. in the younger age groups trusting the stress and the cat has completely gone off the edge of a cliff across the european union a recent survey by hugo found the majority of people just didn't think that this vaccine was safe so this new information about the fact that it's quite as effective as we previously would lead to believe may seem like a very small thing but it really could erode trust even. such studies are aversions could hit confidence in the pharmaceutical giant vaccine . fundamental tenet in science that you don't pick and choose which states are you

crazy but it appears that for some reason that's what's happened and we don't know why they found that but it is always raises suspicions when people try to ignore the date of that's perhaps not so good in favor of the day to day so we should remember that it's only a 3 percent difference for mild moderate disease and no difference at all for the most serious life threatening conditions not everybody and i would say relatively few people pick up on the fact that the difference is small they pick up on the fact that there is a difference and that astra zeneca have essentially been no excuse to cherry picking data so that's what people hear and it affects confidence it may put confidence in the company and i think it's highly likely that it will. cause people to question the efficacy of the vaccine. i mean while the dispute between the e.u. and britain over astra zeneca jab the lasers also heating up russell's will vote on

toughening vaccine exports today widely seen as a move against the u.k. prime minister barak johnson has already fired a warning shot. by do you think that blockades of. either vaccines or. medicines of ingredients were banned seems a sensible big meeting in brussels on thursday the leaders of the 27 member states will have to decide whether or not they're going to give their blessing to a plan put forward from the european commission that would see or could see limits placed on the export of vaccines manufactured in the e.u. to nations that have their own vaccine production now in a lesser extent this is aimed at the united states but the main focus of this would fall on the united kingdom the reason it's been put into play is because well the glacially slow vaccination program desperately needs to get on track it's clear.

we also need to ensure it works a nation of our own volition and as indeed we are in a sense a behind as a skit if you look at the same time spans of folks at. once a global hotspots fundament. the same time all saw the largest exporter of locks in the european commission said just under 11000000 vaccine doses had been exported from the e.u. to the united kingdom with 0 heading in that direction what this mechanism would mean is that vaccines that had been set to go to the united kingdom for their exports could be blocked as long as companies will fail to live up to contracts that they signed with brussels there were many warnings that this was coming down the track we have the possibility to ban planned exports this is

a message to astra zeneca you fulfill your part of the deal towards europe before we start to deliver to other countries the focus of a lot of the seems to be astra zeneca the vaccine man you. commission president ursula fund the line said that astra zeneca it only delivered on 30 percent of the $19000000.00 or so doses they promised in the 1st quarter of 2021 plenty to keep an eye on on thursday coming out of brussels but also looking at the reaction to what's said in the european union from across the english channel in the united kingdom. but it's not certain brussels only a very public dispute a spat with china over human rights could leave a huge investment deal dead on arrival tell you more that just a bit later on. apparently your never too young to be progressive and an article in the washington post experts guided parents to books websites and companies offering what material for kids the future title social

justice for toddlers talks about the importance of quality gender education for kids the article highlights materials like a drag queen website books like anti-racist baby and work baby as well and of selling toys and learning materials to dismantle bias however many have found that advice divisive and even harmful can we just teach children to walk talk play before we start hoisting our deal to neurosis on them indoctrination is wrong washington post this conversation is one the divides us universal identity is what should be centered not race not gender this generation of kids is going to need decades of therapy after going through this critical race theory one half of them will just crumble under the white guilt pushed into them and turned into fragile ghosts barely resembling human beings the other half will just get radicalized and

we've got reaction to that washington post piece from talk radio strong gaunt and women bennett of unite against fascism. can i just check the calendar he said a prove the 1st this is a complete and utter joke listen when kids are through for they want to play with each other and they should be encouraged and we as modern parents or grandparents should not be reinforcing prejudice our prejudices if we have them on to the children of course it's important to show kids by example that you're not racist or homophobic or sexist i would agree with all of that but produce him pox for 3 year olds talking about arm awoke baby it's just absolute nonsense the whole of america has laughed at the washington post 3 year olds don't buy books john parents are books because what we're trying to do is to try and

develop human beings to respect each other it's not automatic and what with the what the washington post are trying to do is have a discussion about how we develop people and that included parents so parents can be parenting they don't fear it alone they label it start to try and bring up a better generation the previous generation that we have to do something. instead of be naive lout that happens moses trying to instill and key races where equality treatment or nonsexist behavior whatever it's not society is going to be very very difficult job we have to start somewhere you don't started 3 years old with a drag queen or have a huge new termes read in them bedtime stories at 3 years old the washington post have been ridiculed this is the wont sector the work sector trying to push their agenda on to 3 year olds well i'm sorry it's not needed it's not necessary if you conference racism if if you come across and sexism and if there's

a problem in schools let's address that but please for goodness sake let. godless be toddlers actually trying to teach our children to illegally quality of only age it's never too early at normalized our human beings behave and actually we can probably have a better generation doesn't carry the previous sins of the previous other generation since it's been so true this whole idea that i should feel guilty for the sins of previous generations well no i'm not going to pass that guilt on to the next generation i'm sorry i disagree completely. mad hyena and a thug plus the shocking insult now deleted tweets by china's embassy to paris against the french scholar and they've escalated from a war of words to action beijing's hitting back then the e.u.'s furth sanctions in 3 decades by blacklisting european officials and in turn that sparked outrage in

brussels because the drop of a vast investment deal artie's were gathered asks if they'll follow through on the threat for decades now out childish trade mark its signature diplomacy was restraint patience never rash never hasty never impulsive always slow methodical that europe must have crossed a lot because immediately after it announced its 1st new sanctions against china in 30 years china struck back. it must be pointed out that these countries who proclaim themselves to be human rights judges a king to lecture others have an ignoble record on human rights they have absolutely no right to criticize china much less to shift blames to china for what they have committed the dragon has finally shown its teeth it blacklisted a slew of members of the european parliament a subcommittee on human rights denied them entry to china and permission to do

business in china to any entity as soon as he did with these people tough stuff but has big gene gone too far china's sanctions against european peace scientists and political institutions as well as non-governmental organizations represent an inappropriate escalation that unnecessarily strains ties between the e.u. and china chinese ambassadors were also summit in italy and france embassies were flooded with concerns and protests europe appeared to be united in outrage for union so liberal with sanctioning others europe really doesn't like to be on the receiving end china has retaliated to those sanctions and rather than changes policies and address our legitimate concern and china is against a blind eye and these measures are reactive will the next unacceptable.

it since i think about the towel parliament would even entertain their idea fred to find the e.u. china investment agreement while its members and one of his kmita is on the sanctions efficient statement of the chinese side explained what are these that push china to do this that todd they say of the hypocrisy the double standards that europe applies to itself and its friends and different standards to everyone else as an example within days of europe excluding an outrage over china daring to sanction m e p's you crave did the same thing sanction members of parliament for visiting crimea silence nothing neither germany nor france so easily summoned the ukrainian ambassador new condemnation which is kind of china's point the chinese side urges the use site to reflect on itself free squarely the severity of

its mistake and redress it it must stop lecturing others and human rights and interfering in their internal affairs see there's a reason why europe has pushed for a trade deal with china for the better half of a decade at because chinese companies are making a whole lot more money in europe than vice versa. the ears market is substantially more open to chinese companies and investment than china's market is for a u. companies and this agreement helps actually to address this imbalance to what better way to get back to china than to suspend a trade deal that would benefit primarily european companies and businesses these ladies and gentlemen is a textbook need jerk reaction and it speaks volumes about the claws and competence of europe's current foreign policy team. still ahead on the program looks into the stories of russian saving lives on the throne of on the front line

more on that after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic to follow through the only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. america depends on the kindness of strangers to fund their speculation and to fund their extraordinarily cheap lifestyle made from

a labor overseas and. so i find it interesting the saber rattling going on in washington d.c. right now because the kindness of strangers can evaporate in a heartbeat if they no longer want to play the us dollar reserve currency again and then inflation right now is signaling a 10 from 10 to 12 percent turn inflation rate adjusted for reality to 24 to 30 percent of pleasure. the program codes inflicted difficult times on everyone around the world it's also been quite unchartered territory and every country's quickly had to learn how best to try to deal with this massive new health threat some apparently have fared better than others in their efforts so now is mankind starts to work out what lessons can be learned and how to move forward we've got

a special report for you from chechnya often criticized for broad for its humanitarian record and strict regime has found a way through the pandemic that could be a template our correspondent. went there to find out. yeah he tried to me up a bit personally i condemn these methods but it seems they've proven to be quite effective and i think. they took me to the police station a couple of times what for for being outside but seriously the let's start over. when you think of chechnya your mind will kind of some negative associations chechnya was one of the most frightening place in islamic extremism in chechnya to the horror that i've never witnessed the authoritarian leader of the russian republic of chechnya. has a bad ringback reputation in the west violations and

a crackdown on the eligibility community the like of democracy the list goes on yet at the same time during the pandemic people here it's surprising as it might sound are in many ways freer than people in moscow and new york london paris you name it . highland church now and that means i can legally without breaking any who rules or regulations get rid of this you see chechnya has become one of the 1st regions in russia to lift the mandatory mask wearing make and effectively one of the few places in the world without coronavirus restrictions because as the local authority claimed they conquered the virus how common is formidable change now i know it's a democratic iraq that's enjoying the freedom of worship freedom of movement and the free basic right to live your life as you used to was it a chechen medical miracle or extremely oppressive measures taken by the local government. and draws in this largest place of gathering

the central mosque a new social distancing is required and masks are nowhere to be seen. more. oh this is 10. 17. the division it's a supposed which is you know the number of new infections is going down as a lot of people good sense and it's all recovered from cozy this is what you're seeing now is to come possible because we sold older ships so thanks to all the smoke we can stand together and pray with us. in ross county the region's capital you can walk into any cafe and travel back in time to the pre-code era it is still weird that i have to wear a mask staff they don't wear masks at all so i think it looks strange

after a year of that and that makes people around us seem to enjoy this newfound sense of freedom all those there is this one question we ask them that many appear reluctant to answer but i heard that they had a very tough like down here in chechnya. well yes he said and that he couldn't leave your house that it was very strict so. yes but our child they were sick and so i didn't get any way the money is here all right now yes he's fine the girl was clearly i'm comfortable talking about the lockdown later the same day i had another interesting conversation with locals that followed showed us how do you feel about the quarantine and the lock down and said truck it is i know what they took me to the police station a couple of times what for the for being outside. without wearing a mask is that we weren't allowed to go outside at all but seriously doubt that

that let's start over there is something about the chechen lockdown that makes people here very cautious about talking there were reports of force used against those who didn't comply with anti coronavirus rules legibly several people were even beaten for sure when. up in public without a mask. i mean yeah in chechnya they used the special methods to combat the spread of coronavirus pride in him kind of my view of the subject yeah i know the parts of the north caucasus in general has seen anything like it seems to me now that the war in shali which is a smaller town in chechnya and it came into the spotlight after this video came out . around a dozen of people in police uniforms patrolling the area holding white plastic pipes allegedly there was war local law enforcement and the pipes were meant as an intimidating tool for those who do not comply with quarantine the local administration which is located inside this stunning skyscraper built in the town

of 10000 people we were told that the video is just another fake before they get over into the water going to our law enforcement offices always would was in the lives of the locals in monaco in a civil and. we couldn't find anyone who would confirm that people were beaten in chechnya or for not complying with the quarantine many locals heard the rumor and literally everyone we met said they strictly followed all the rules change reduced by the local government as deputy minister of health and medicine at a children's hospital that was turned into a center for example which they should because i was vaccinated they even allowed me into the red zone in. the hallways were quiet and spotless most of the units were empty and medical staff looked fresh and full of energy and the facility didn't look like it had a particularly hard time during the night and demick the region bragg's one of the lowest numbers of registered cases of daily new infections of covert related deaths

i mean it really looks impressive which may janya it or if it's arm got this in italy now i don't trust the official numbers are hard to not only those provided by chechen officials but these fishel data from the north caucasus region in your mouth we've seen a lot of the. it is showing that the numbers of the revolt of the time you so imagine my surprise when not just an opposition journalist but also one of change now is top house officials told me to do not take this official datta at face value . he says to me he does know the 50 percent of our population have probably already had to wait so you're saying that over 50 percent have to already had it but according to the officials and i specifically checked that the number of registered cases is 213002 make it clear. the number of patients confirmed to many people did not show any symptoms. and that was quite a journey of people in their clients and their hospital and they're always willing

to help on the one hand but on the other they are cautious and they seem to always keep something for themselves especially when they talk with an outsider they always mindful of what they're saying to you i guess this is part of the cultural code chechen society which went through 2 bloody wars is a tough it is closed and close knit at the same time. and their experience of getting through this pandemic might be different from what people have in europe the united states the rest of russia it's hard to tell that it didn't work out at the end of the day so this is it were a flight out of chechnya i'm back to moscow and what that means well for one thing that means that i have to put my mask back on. because there with that report from chechnya live picking up once again in one part

of russia of course on the very front line of all this all around the world those medical workers and doctors are working hard to keep everybody safe in our tribute to them artes out of town. along with the head doctor at moscow's main covert hospital tells us the stories of nurses working shoulder to shoulder with doctors to save lives and we are airing the full version tonight locally where you are. if i really can't recognize them by their face it was not i recognize them by their eyes. it was personal protection equipment it has drastically changed perceptions if you recognize a person either by a large batch on their chest or which happens more often than even by their eyes but that's how you recognize them later in the green zone. the red zone the corner teens are and you have to wear p.p. there which is uncomfortable because it never fits properly.

when they 1st brought the patients in they were scared of us it took us some time to realise that there was this young girl they brought her here from the airport and she was crying all the time i said on the bed beside her and asked are you scared of us she said yes so i said to her we're just like you were human and we're scared to. last summer was a real just unreal when your arm streams of sweat poured down the sleeves it was really hot in there. live. my life has been split into before and after the strange as it sounds. sometimes you see a person and realise that they're an ideal nurse something i could never be.

it's practically my 2nd family frankly speaking. i'm really proud of our nurses. doctors and i'm proud of our sisters. and their. end of each clinical conference by thanking them for working their shifts. on today i want to thank you for your hook efforts you are the best. ones in the whole case i was bought in this new infrastructure and jobs plan as well as helping us headlines that we will turn off our latest headlines join us again but.

when we watch movies about ai i think they typically make us worry about the wrong thing they make us worry about robots turning evil but the real threat of a vast artificial intelligence is not that it turns evil but just that it turns very competent but has goals that are not aligned with our goals. always be polite never engage with the negative aided or confrontational. don't get into any conversation or start answering questions just ask for an attorney. to survive and tear a geisha. they. definitely don't want to be going to trial in the jumpsuit on cups. you're more likely to walk free if you're

rich and guilty for a few cool.
