collections some of them. 100 percent effective but. all. saying he doesn't want to wait.

for. the. situation could be worse. from moscow of course it's. russia's making use of all available tools in its fight against. corona is one of 3 domestically produced vaccines now in circulation develop a 100 percent effective at producing. mutant strains well we were invited to the high security laboratory in siberia where they're all being. 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 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 jav corona 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 vaccines sputnik v. is already a brand eclipsing p.r. wise even its international competitors vectors eppy vaca rona has remained in its elder brother's shadow even in russia few people know how it works or what we do but i want to emphasize 3 major advantages of the vaccine it's 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 but then the vaccine develops a 3 line to fans like to enter a room you need to open a door the vaccine forms antibodies that. 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 new response destroys the infected cell so this is the pre final 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 it 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 including this and therefore we will develop antibodies for covert 19 it's hard to find a volunteer in russia who'd want an epi valve 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 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. iraq as their covert job and there were rumors of russia's former president dmitry medvedev did so as well but the difficulty head of the vector institute says vaccination shouldn't be a free for all fights between different producers people get through jobs they don't ask how this vaccine is made. how they walk but all of them meet certain requirements it should be the same with coronavirus facts scenes

a person just gets a job and that's it the message from russian vaccine developers which ever jab you choose you are getting the best shot at immunity done of reporting from the heart of siberia r.t. . and staying with the theme of russian vaccines one italian businessman has made a 6000 kilometer round trip to receive $100.00 a lot of money ali he flew right here to moscow to get sputnik via because of cotton to him he said he wasn't willing to wait months to get a shot back at home. the only people of my age are scared to be that see needed after the sun better so the fire i decide to make. guys think is absolutely safe. even if spooked me because not that there could be could have been a brawl the wrong european sea. quite

clear that. it's very very good to be seen and many countries are using their own asli didn't receive any call. it's all more than 2 weeks. of assignation my advise to be versatile in russian most of the balls on the face book for my friend pleased with one of those for me. network and some friends ask me next time we give you some free agent. because you know this is must be between them the amount of i think between 5 and a certain degree this awful is that of the italian engineer was able to get a travel because thanks to his russian wife he says his main reason for getting inoculated was simply to protect his elderly parents and us on the road over he only made his trip was a 3rd coronavirus wave sweeps across europe and the pla continues to struggle with

a vaccine shortage. in fact daily coronavirus cases in italy have reached almost 24000 the country has the 2nd highest death toll in europe with more than 107000 fatalities registered since the start of the outbreak and overly believes politics should not play a role when it comes to simply saving lives. more than when you're a warrior outsider you can see all the people who do you know full of people which would enjoy your wine now view of the. situation and i can see that out of all bars all bars. during the evening you didn't do a lot of food and all bars are close it is like a desert. some flowers. i think the only problem of it is that it's put to me is made in russia the only one if pulled in you would have been made i don't know in california. it would be already immediately very use

without any problem policy should be accepted the opposite let's buy and get in the market where we can find it because we have to go around quickly to worsen it all our population and because of that a wise with other us initial we will never see the end of the tunnel policy should they care about of people this 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 their of our country. well. you will go with the beginning of april to get his 2nd. as always will.

a medical certificate says being detained in the russian city of novosibirsk the federal security service seized over 1400 documents with a. market value of roughly $40000.00. heavily restricted for foreign nationals but people can get in during the pandemic with a valid medical reason f.s.b. officers also found a list of people intending to purchase the forged documents we understand now that a criminal case is getting under way. as. a. doctor has described the current situation in the capital's hospitals which the pandemic is ultimately pushed a point in the open they warned they may soon have to choose between which patients to save me time this president. to introduce another full. 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 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 very this word sorting is awful if we do not want to have to choose which patients to offer the most optimal treatment conditions and which to give less optimal but that's never happened and we do not

want it to happen and so we are raising the alarm. or last week france and to a 3rd wave of infections and there are now more than 27000 patients in hospitals all across the country that's the highest figure this month and the number in intensive care is approaching 5000 so far a record for the year the doctor we just heard from who is one of the signatories of the open letter says it's essential not to forget about covert patients. most of these are mental don't you still don't you feel 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 you can 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. still to come here on the

program and germany's chancellor threatens to resort to federal powers if local regions don't do more to come about. it's all of a warning to the 3rd wave of the pandemic will be the worst yet so that's a bit later in this program. but for now 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 figures the government figures show that by 2024 point 3000000 children in britain lived in poverty nearly 2000000 went hungry because their families struggle to buy food. from the turns who lost he says that the pandemic has 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 3rd of a classroom. the fact that these numbers of before the pandemic is a is a huge concern you know this is child poverty before the pandemic was a 12 year high and you know 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 43 percent of people on universal credit that 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 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 some security so it's good i mean we're going to need more than just well paid jobs and we need affordable housing we need you 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 the long term symptoms of government figures show that the number of children out of relatively low income families is basically the same as the late ninety'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 are vulnerable and with child poverty haven't risen by 700 soudan since 2012 when benefits cuts began this dismal data shows child power to levels and now

divestiture only high children and their families will pay the price and the government acts urgently. or low income families can currently receive just over 20 pounds a week for the 1st child and nearly 14 pounds for every other child that's roughly just a little over the cost of $2.00 average breakfasts in a cafe last year the government also temporarily interstate 20 pound a weekly welfare increase for families hit by the pandemic and we got the reaction of down past skins from save the children about the situation at the moment the government is saying no that's going to take you right at the end of september and that's something which we know that will cause a lot of hardship to charlatans children and it's not tomorrow so we take it with many others were saying which is very importantly government continues provide that extra principle. that's a very immediate step because we've got a constraint we're also very worried that it might be actually that as the restrictions ease on the pandemic that's when you might see some of the damage in

terms of rights none of what it means on and job losses and that's where it's important for the government to move away from thinking just about temporary measures demick to. build on your actions we take are but really get in sync with good stumbler through children that is put into things like. that could not seem to me you know. in the world where governments really give them a lot of things to do to do a lot which is good and we need to get that same energy through and in. a speech. the appearance of deep craters in the permafrost of russia's far north as possible scientists for years in our latest documentary research is trying to get to the bottom of the phenomenon you can watch the black holes of your mile throughout the day on our channel or at your own leisure at r.t. talk. humanity has never seen such strange natural phenomena before

giant coming to us appearing in the mouth. of what is to be able to put my own voices outside. on the navy's scheme which is your eternity to keep don't deny an assertion. or notion of the real story or. mr initiative and get rid. of stuff because you've got the police state is not opposed to move to new york or to buy shifted straightness the believers in the hope that for. them to discover to a particular live that scientists have sold the mystery of creatures appearing in the mouth and instead it has to do with the unique take tonics of the cross beneath your mouth on the cranks with the fia they built a full scale 3 d. most of the yo mouth like oh you can you can make enough money to do to shellfish yes you do need a car of michelin you co-chaired. never know different background you could be

arsed to get your body you know to make that you want clear. 2021 russian scientists came quite close to working out what's going on. just turning 20 past the hour here in moscow a murder trial has just begun in the u.s. state of minnesota over the death of george floyd last may of course an incident that sparked a wave of civil unrest former police officer derek sharma faces 2 counts of murder on one count of manslaughter hearings are expected to run for a month and being streamed online for the 1st time in minnesota's history artie's going on the ground spoke with the co-founder of black lives matter in greater new york he sees the trial as a litmus test for the u.s. traditional system and watch the interview in full right now at r.t. dot com. well this is where the rubber meets the more rope everyone across

the world saw the george floyd chili 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 surge go to jail it's great big corporations say we love lay people 'd it's good that politicians say we're going to stand by black people we have eric show being is it can be murder any proceedings there will i mean everything remains the same nothing is cheering all or all of the riots all the tears all pain nothing it seems the america is still the same race displaced it's always been this is a true test. it is r.t. international chancellor angela merkel has voiced her frustration over the way

germany's local authorities are handling the pandemic which is now threaten to resort to federal powers reporting from berlin his aunties peter oliver. well during 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 or 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 tense of care doctors in germany is saying the country actually needs a nationwide tough 2 week lockdown and that's something that's being backed up by

anger merkel's health minister again spahn name off if we look at the numbers we need another 10 to 14 days at least of properly driving down context and movement a look down if you want to call about what germany's currently hold it 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 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 chick to 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 have had one job yet when it comes to vaccinate. local leaders are saying they want russia sputnik v vaccine to get approval so that can be used in the fight against covert the approval of sputnik we 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 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 would take at least 10 to 14 months before the 1st bunches manufactured but it would not be response to our problems today or with the 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. facebook has permanently shut down the page of iran's international television network which has millions of followers press t.v. said it received no advance notice and then of course naturally i should say highlighted the american connections of the tech giant. without any prior warning facebook informed prissie on friday that it's account had been shut down to what it claimed to be the iranian news channel's failure to follow our community standards this is yet another attack by the u.s. based media giant only rhenium media outlets and while the social media platform

says the channel violated its standards it's not provided any examples of just how the rules were actually broken facebook along with twitter and instagram they have a previously suspended press t.v. on a number of occasions though reinstating it in those cases though on appeal we spoke to were sayed mohammad marandi a professor at tehran university he says the tech giant is simply silencing alternative viewpoints on its platform. but it does is that it basically prevents. alternative voices from being heard at all because media outlets that use facebook can be seen and what they say and what they write. can be seen across the world but on the other hand what they do is the limit what alternative out that outlets can say so they either room move those outlets such as what they've done with press t.v. with its millions of followers and therefore it can it can no longer be seen across

the world or in iran but will what it also does is that it creates fear among others it creates a general sense of censorship or a general feeling that you have to sow center yourself otherwise you'll lose the platform that you had which you worked so hard to build but the problem that this creates for themselves is that when they go too far they create an incentive among non western countries to build their own capabilities that can rival facebook or twitter or instagram and i think as the world is changing very fast as we speak. it's not a very distant future where we where we will be seeing these alternative forms platforms for us to be able to more easily access alternative information. a 400 meter container ship that's been blocking the suez canal for the past week

has finally been freed after a massive refloating operation the ever given run aground during high winds on march the 23rd leaving hundreds of ship stranded on either side salvage sheen was using tug boats are now managed to wrench the skyscraper size ship from the canal sunday buying a block or charles held up an estimated $9000000000.00 worth of goods per day wreaking havoc on global supply chains though economist richard wolfe says it's a design. that should have actually been until. 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 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 culture 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. and that's just a sampling of your monday stories and your headlines here we're not seeing international we return to the top of the hour if you can join us that.
