so join us and live. in the shallows. is one of the world's largest collections some of them so deadly they make covert 19 look like and. given exclusive access to a high security laboratory where russia. has developed a. 100 percent effective of producing antibodies against all strains of corona virus. vaccination vacation and italian businessmen flies to moscow to get the sputnik saying he doesn't want to wait months to be inoculated. to the full song. from a friend. with some friends. and
8:01 am
this is. a shocking report by the government for. now experts fear the situation could be even worse. stories live from moscow welcome to the program here on real research. in the war on the pandemic russia apparently has an array of weapons among the. vaccine the jobs developers say it's safe 100 percent effective at producing antibodies and can fight off mutant strains but we were invited to visit the high security lab in the heart of siberia where it's me. this sign is probably worth a 1000 words because we are in one of the few places in the world where it has been plastered against the door not for cool looks not for show but as an actual warning
8:02 am
behind this door is one of the world's 2 largest virus collections some of them so deadly they make covert 19 look like an allergy and this door has been put in case of an emergency evacuation and luckily it has never been used for its purpose we are at the vector research institute met here with armed guards barbed wire and the no fly zone above us inviting journalists is worlds apart from common practice here but they're eager to show and talk about how with their jab epi vaca rhona is made so this machine is where the work on the vaccine begins basically an inactivated virus from the red zone from the dirty zone is brought here and this machine it separates the r.n.a. from the rest of the virus it isolates it and from here at the r.n.a. is being passed on for further study and work russia boasts 3 different covert 1000
8:03 am
vaccines sputnik v. is already a brand eclipsing p.r. wise even its international competitors vectors epi vaca role now has remained in its elder brother's shadow even in russia few people know how it works i want to emphasize 3 major advantages of the vaccine it's safe because it's made from synthetic peptides 2nd it's not sensitive to virus mutations it's resistant to all known covert strains including british south african brazilian and others and 3rd you can get vaccinated unlimited times one with the yearly flu vaccinations. the vaccine develops a 3 line to fan it's like to enter a room you need to open a door the vaccine forms antibodies that prevent that if the fos line of defense is broken then another pool of antibodies goes into battle that stops the virus from connecting to the cell and getting inside but if this line is crossed is while the
8:04 am
new response destroys the infected cell so this is the preferred vinyl stage of producing a vaccine basically here they are preparing a foundation for it it's protein based so the substance in this boiler is literally called soup or world broth it contains all the nutrients that will make this protein grow and as soon as it is ready will be taken to a different lab also here where active components of the vaccine will be attached to this protein in the foundation by active i mean those that will be recognized by our immune system as well include is and therefore we will develop antibodies for covert 19 it's hard to find a volunteer in russia who'd want an epi vaca over jab partly because so little is known about it partly because the 1st batches have just been released to the public and partly because its efficacy has been challenged by skeptics and even those who
8:05 am
took part in the clinical trials the had developed of the vaccine says though this is a smear campaign against the institute i think is purely an information war against this vaccine in particular it's very frustrating i feel sorry for my country and the vaccine officials are telling me they won't be dragged into bickering and will verify their reputation via publications in science journals several high profile russian officials have already chosen r.p. vacas their covert job and there were rumors of russia's former president dmitry medvedev did so as well. but the deputy head of the vector institute says vaccination shouldn't be a free for all fights between different produces people get through jobs they don't ask how those vaccines are made or how they walk but all of them meet certain requirements it should be the same with coronavirus maxine's a person just gets a job and that's it the message from russian vaccine developers which ever jab you
8:06 am
choose you are getting the best shot at immunity and we've done a reporting from the heart of siberia r.t. . and i while we're talking about russian coronavirus jobs one italian businessman has made a 6000 kilometer round trip to get one less on the road fruit of moscow to get sputnik because he said he wasn't willing to wait months to get a job back home. in the early people of my age are scared to be the us he needed after the summer so very far i decided to make us initially in school. even if sputnik was not theirs and we could have been approved by the rhondda europe region see. quite clear that. it's very very good to be seen and many countries are using their own asli
8:07 am
didn't receive any call. it so no more than 2 weeks. of assignation my family would advise to be versatile you know russian most of the balls thrown their facebook or my friend pleased with one of those for me. network and some friend asked me next time we give you some free agent. because you know the recent must be between them the amount of i think between 5 and ascending to the soft. italian engineer was able to get a russian views or thanks to his russian wife and so his main motivation to get the job as soon as possible was simply to protect his elderly parents and i found that already only made his trip was a 3rd coronavirus way of sweeps across europe on the block continues to experience pretty awful vaccine shortages. well in the meantime new
8:08 am
daily coronavirus cases in italy have reached almost 24000 the country has the 2nd highest death toll in europe with more than 170000 deaths registered since the outbreak that really only believes that politics should never play a role when it comes to saving lives. more than one side or. do you know full of people which. one now view of the. situation and see that out of all bars all bars. during the. food and all bars out of close it is like a desert. some flowers. i think the only problem of this that is maybe a russian the only one if putin who would have been made i don't know in california . it would be a really need only to use the without any problem policy should be accepted the
8:09 am
opposite let's buy. the scene in the market where we can find it because we have to go around quickly to worsen it all our population and because all that are wise with us initial we will never see the end of the. policy should they care about of people the should be the priority and not sound geopolitical. i don't know even a relationship. which is now conditioning you know such important and crucial matter for the of our country less than 0 w.r.t it will fly back to moscow at the beginning of april to get his 2nd dose or an r.t. will follow or journey and always we will keep you updated. on meanwhile a group of scammers that sold fake medical certificates to foreigners has. detained
8:10 am
in the russian city of nablus a bit of the federal security service seized over $1400.00 documents with a total of around $40000.00 of foreign citizens currently need a medical certificate to enter russia during the pandemic f.s.b. officers also found a list of people intending to purchase the forged documents we understand a criminal case has been launched or tempus the hour here in moscow as bad as during terror attacks that's how french doctors describe the current situation in the capital's hospitals which other pandemic has been pushed to breaking point in an open letter they warn they may soon have to choose between which patients to save and they slammed president across decision not to introduce another full lockdown we have never experienced such a situation even during the worst terrorist attacks in recent years in this medical crisis where there is a glaring mismatch between needs and available resources we will be forced to treat
8:11 am
patients in order to save as many lives as possible if. the article is addressed to future patients the population because in the ill de france region in particular the incidence is growing rapidly there is significant growth and we are afraid we won't be able to cope with the influx of cases there is a gap between the needs of patients and the amount of resources at our disposal this is particularly the case for intensive care beds and this situation has developed against the background of an increase in the number of hospitalized patients we will certainly provide assistance to all patients but we fear that at some point we will run out of resources this word sorting is awful we do not want to have to choose which patients to offer the most optimal treatment conditions and which to give less optimal that's never happened and we do not want it to happen and so we're raising the alarm. last week franz entered a 3rd wave of infections there are now more than 27000 patients in hospitals all
8:12 am
across the country that is the highest figure this month the number in intensive care is approaching 5000 for the year and the doctor we just heard from who is one of the signatories of the open letter says it's essential not to forget about. patients. so the sooner the government makes its decisions the better we cannot afford to just wait and see what the result of these measures to curb the increase in infections will be we are already observing a significant increase in the number of cases in addition we don't just have to take care of patients with coronavirus but also patients with more common diseases of the cardiovascular system or with neurological or on collage equal diseases in other words it is necessary to treat both patients with corona virus and those who do not have copd and we will eventually run out of beds. well i mean time germany's chancellor threatens to resort to federal powers if local regions don't do more to
8:13 am
combat covert. warnings that a 3rd wave of the pandemic will be the worst yet that's a bit later in the program for. shameful and heartbreaking that's the overwhelming reaction to a recent u.k. government report showing that even before the pandemic child poverty in the country had hit record numbers and the government figures show that by 2024 point 3000000 children in britain lived in poverty nearly 2000000 when hungry because their families struggle to buy food liam evans from the turn to us says that the pandemic is only exacerbated the crisis. the government produced statistics saying $4300000.00 children are in poverty in the u.k. we actually believe that number to be higher we believe it's about $4500000.00 and that's about 33 percent of children in the u.k. so you know it's about a 3rd of a classroom. the fact that these numbers of before the pandemic is
8:14 am
a huge concern you know this is child poverty before the pandemic was a 12 year high and you know if it was high before the pandemic it's going to be even higher now and it's going to be irrevocably higher in the future one thing that you see now that you would not have seen 10 years ago is the huge amount of food banks in the case 43 percent of people on universal credit the main benefit system in the u.k. of food insecurity we now have more food banks in the u.k. than we have branches of mcdonald's so you can really see the poverty in the u.k. at the moment it's visceral it's everywhere certainly creating more well paid jobs is crucial to cutting down poverty and especially the effects it has on child poverty however we've had a the best part of a decade of the government agenda of austerity you know we've had cuts to our benefits system freezes too are also sure security so it could mean we're going to need more than just well paid jobs you know we need affordable housing we need you
8:15 am
know we need cuts to the rising cost of living you know a basket for the goods is increasingly more expensive year on year so we really need the government to have a beverage moment. you know a real holistic look at the causes of poverty and to tackle a long term sentence the government figures show that the number of children of relatively low income families is basically the same as the late 1990 s. the child poverty action group is calling for an increase in child benefits. today's power to figures show what was clear all along that low income families with children and to depend on me financially vulnerable and with child poverty haven't risen by 700 soudan since 2012 when benefits cars began this dismal data shows child poverty levels are now devastatingly high children and their families will pay the price and those government x. urgently low income families can currently receive just over $20.00 pounds
8:16 am
a week for the 1st child and nearly 14 pounds for every other child at slightly more than the cost of $2.00 average breakfasts in a cafe last year the government also temporarily introduced a 20 pound weekly welfare increase for the families headed by the pandemic and we spoke with done past skins from the save the children foundation about the situation at the moment the government is saying that the that's going to take you right at the end of september and that's something which we know that includes a lot of hardship. missions children who already are neutral so we need to get with many others are saying which is very importantly government continues to provide that extra principle. that's a very immediate step because we've got constraining we're also very worried that it might be actually there as the restrictions ease on the pandemic that's when you might see some of the damage in terms of rights movement and job losses and that's where it's important for the government to move away from thinking about temporary measures during demick to. building on your actions we take are but really get in
8:17 am
sync but it's been a good start children that is put into things like. that could not seem to me you know. in the going around world where government really got them a lot of things to do to do a lot which is good and we need to get that same energy. and. speech. the emergence of deep crater. has puzzled scientists for years in artie's latest documentary researchers ultimately take the plunge and try to get to the bottom of this mysterious phenomenon and you can watch the full film throughout the day right here on this channel but for now a quick preview. humanity has never seen such strange natural phenomena before coming to this appearing in the peninsula. of what this debate here.
8:18 am
is your eternity to keep don't deny an assertion. of. national initiative here to. the world started as you probably would post the moon in your ported by sure if you. don't know what that for. sure to scientists have solved the mystery of creatures appearing in the peninsula it has to do with the unique tonics of the earth's crust beneath on the cranks that appear. they build a full scale 3 d. model of the black hole when you clearly. michelin you pull share it's. never going to put up a grand you have us to take your cue ball you go to make you want fear.
8:19 am
2021 russian scientists came quite close to working out what's going on. because anything about. i'm still up and coming here on the program ought to see the ever given container ship which has been blocking the suez canal for the past week we honest i didn't is . a floater i'm all about it later in the program also we look at the implication and says we should hold lookout for post-presidential e disrupted international supply chain. back geysers financial survival guide. housing bubble.
8:20 am
oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause report. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. dares thinks. we dare to ask. germany's foreign minister is signaled that he would like to see a stone in nato russian relations but added the ball is in russia's court really also as tensions over time want a priest who is pushing for
8:21 am
a military showdown. it is good to have you with us today that chancellor angela merkel has expressed dismay at the way german states are handling the pandemic insisting regions are not doing enough she's so unhappy in fact that she's now threaten to resort to that of federal powers and it does come as europe struggles to get its vaccine program up and running amid a 3rd wave of infections as a peter all of a now reports from berlin. we're doing this interview that the chancellor gave on sunday evening she took particular sick and tired of bumping heads with local leaders she described some of the leaders of germany states is being not free from allusions that they could actually negotiate with the covert 19 virus we are set to see some local restrictions put in place here in berlin this week on wednesday off
8:22 am
from wednesday f f p 2 masks will be required there more heavy duty masks in shops and on public transport are also going to any more testing put in place particularly for things like getting a haircut but this all comes as intensive care doctors in germany is saying the country actually needs a nationwide tough 2 week lockdown not something that's being backed up by anger merkel's health minister yen spahn limited sign you know if we look at the numbers we need another 10 to 14 days at least of properly driving down context and movements a look down if you want to call about what germany is currently hovering at around the $20000.00 new cases of covert 19 a day mark the warning that's coming out is that that could rise during this 3rd wave that's going to towns on europe to as much as $100000.00 per day the indications clearly point to this was potentially being even worse than the 1st 2
8:23 am
waves we must be prepared for a steep rise in the number of cases for more people to once again become seriously ill but hospitals will be overburdened and that more people will die again. if this continues on chicks we run the risk that our health care system will reach its breaking point in april when it comes to vaccinations the plan remains that all adults will be offered a job by the end of september that's a plan that looks particularly bishops right now when you take into account that not all of the over eighty's in germany of had one job yet when it comes to vaccinate. ation though local leaders saying they want russia's sputnik v vaccine to get approval so that can be used in the fight against covert the approval of splitting the must be decided as soon as possible i'm fighting for sputnik v not just because it's been produced in russia i believe that we should buy all vaccines which are available it has nothing to do with party politics or a proximity to moscow i find west german ideological sensitivities on this question
8:24 am
silly supply issues as well as investigations into the safety of vaccines of seeing the vaccination program in europe be delayed thoroughly slow t.n.t. backed on the e.u. commissioner in charge of the vaccine program has said that getting russian sputnik the vaccine online wouldn't be a magic bullet that would fix all of europe's problems if the vaccine is certified within weeks or months and the way is found to produce it in europe it will take at least 10 to 14 months before the 1st but as manufactured but it will not be response to our problems today or with vaccination levels not being as high as they are in other parts of the world europe is staring down the barrel of more lockdowns more restrictions on its citizens. a huge container ship that's been wedged across the suez canal since tuesday has now been partially refloated the stricken vessel
8:25 am
has caused hundreds of cargo ships to back up or along the waterway however it is still unclear when the canal will actually be able to reopen and we understand around 12 percent of all global trade passes right through the suez canal which of course is the shortest sea link between age are in europe and there is growing concern over international supply chains to to the blockage economist richard wolf apparently wasn't at all surprised by what's happened. this is not the 1st time the canal has been blocked not at all it's a very vulnerable this canal particularly in the area. where this ship is jammed very narrow part of the canal i think you could do a good bit on the suez canal you'd have to spend the money to widen then to deep in then to take steps to have fallback plans for moving cargo even relatively small distances if you could back ships down to the stranded ship there are all kinds of mechanisms that you could have the in place if you were taking seriously the
8:26 am
vulnerability so a little bit like in agriculture you can make more acreage produce more goods at the only grow one plant but then if something happens to that one plant you don't have the diversity which we used to add which is a kind of protection against something happening to a model called shift you have to think like that if you don't if you're only focused on your short term profits then you run into these problems but it's been good if you're sharing your monday with us here at our international we are back soon with no. one else so it's seemed wrong. but all wrong just don't call. me old yet to say proud disdain because that's ok and it gains from it because

i'm after a time when you're watching another lockdown edition of going underground as opening arguments start today in the george floyd trial in minneapolis almost a year after a killing that catalyzed violent uprisings or around the world some argue they have been even more significant than those in the 1960 s. when civil rights marches led to assassinations of icons like martin luther king jr and malcolm x. in part 2 will be speaking to avengers endgame hollywood actor frank grillo about his post covert 19 politics in cinema but 1st joining me now from new york is the

co-founder of the black lives matter greater new york chapter who knew some walk thanks so much for coming on to these opening arguments today why is the case so important given the centuries you have articulated of pain for people of color and the americas. well this is where the rubber meets the more rope everyone across the world saw the george floyd killing everybody experience there playing everybody it with eyes with black people in that moment i guess right now is the true test of the american justice system we know that it's been biased we know that it's based on racism and now is the time to show if we progress or not has progress been made welcome we saw a service go to jail it's great to corporations say we love life people it's good
8:30 am
that politicians say we're going to stand by black people but if derek shopping is a convicted of murder any proceedings there will i mean everything remains the same nothing has changed all of all of the riots all the tears all the pain nothing has changed the america is still the same race is for a state it's always been this is a true test now i know and litigated right now but i mean we can think of how tov ins and lawyers are going to be arguing the case already prejudiced $27000000.00 settlement between man and so during the family i mean he was on drugs found a millimeter amphetamine and and if it was a fixation then he had coronavirus. well let's see i'm about 8 years at a law school but let me go on my lawyer right our.
