oh you mean there's a downside to artificially. some of them. high security. develop. all. of the.

u.s. border. journalists . for the. situation. this is international welcome to your new. russia is making use of all available tools in its fight against. one of 3 domestically produced vaccines now in circulation develop a safe 100 percent effective at producing. strains well we were invited

to visit security in siberia where it's 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 jab 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 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 role now 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 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 fast line of defense is broken down and not the 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 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 all world war 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 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 it's 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 difficulty head of the vector institute says vaccinate. it shouldn't be

a free for all fights between different producers people get through jobs they don't ask how those functions a major one how they walk but all of them meet certain requirements it should be the same with coronavirus fact 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 and we've done of reporting from the heart of siberia. and staying with the theme of russian vaccines one italian businessman has made a 6000 kilometer round trip to receive one of us on the road have already flew here to moscow to get sputnik because according to him he wasn't willing to wait months to get a shot. only people of my age are scared 'd to be versus needed after the summer so the fire i decided to make us initially in school guys think is absolutely safe. even if only because not only could have been

a little bit thrown the utopia agency. quite clear that. very very good reason and many counties are using their own as. we see many call. it so no more than 2 weeks. of assignation would advise to be versatile in a rush most of the balls thrown on facebook or my friend pleased with one of those for me. network and some friends ask me next time we give you some free and because you know this enough to be between them that amount of i think between 5 and i send you the software that italian engineer was able to get to travel thanks to his russian wife and so is his main motive for getting inoculated was simply to protect his elderly parents alessandra

made his trip as a 3rd coronavirus way apparently of sweeping across europe and the block continue to experience widespread vaccine shortages. in fact new delhi coronavirus cases in italy have almost reached now 24000 country has the 2nd highest death toll in europe with more than 170000 fatalities registered since the start of the outbreak . early believes the politics should never play a role when it comes to saving lives. more than one. you can see. all of people which is. why now dear to the heart of. the situation i see that out of all bars all bars. even food and clothes and. some flour water. i think the only problem or splitting the piece that is made in russia the only one

if pulled into would have been made i don't know in california. it would be a really need only to use it without any problem the policy should be accepted because it lets buy and. be seen on the market where we can find it because we have to go around quickly to personate all our population and because all that it was with us initial we will never see the end of the. policy sure. of people these should be the priority and not sound geopolitical. i don't know even a relationship. which is now conditioning you know such important and cool chalmette for the. county. well mr ali will fly back here to moscow at

the beginning of april to get his 2nd dose there when our international will be following his journey will keep you updated. for the meantime a group of scammers who sold fake medical certificates to foreigners has been detained in the russian city of novosibirsk the federal security service seized over 1400 documents with a black market value of roughly 40000 bucks now entry to russia is currently heavily restricted for foreign nationals but people can get in during the pandemic with a valid medical reason. b. officers also found a list of people intending to purchase the forged documents now as we understand a criminal case has been launched. french doctors say hospitals are being pushed to breaking point by the latest influx of coburg 19 patients in an open letter they warned they may soon have to choose which people to save in time a president has to search and 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 patients in order to save as many lives as possible if you. limit surgery the article is addressed to future patients of 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 are raising the alarm. well last week france and today 3rd wave of infections there are now more than 27000 coated patients in hospitals across the country that's the highest figure this month number in intensive care right now approaching 5000 that's also a record for this 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 norton patients. because your 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 equal diseases in other words it is necessary to treat both patients with coronavirus and those who

do not have copd and we will eventually run out of beds. there is no letup in the crisis on the u.s. southwest border with thousands of migrants crossing the fronts here from mexico on a daily basis and many are being held a severely overcrowded detention facilities in texas by the administration is under growing pressure to allow journalists to come in and film pictures that's cost lives now auntie's caleb joining us here on the program. republicans are now in full attack mode over this putting the blame squarely on the biden administration why don't you bring us up to date what do you know now indeed we've got a surge of illegal crossings of the u.s. border and at this point we've got we've got basically not openness to transparency from the biden ministration they don't seem to want the press and others to see what's going on recently ted cruz visited

a facility and ted cruz the u.s. senator was basically there was an attempt to stop him from filming what he saw take a listen. but you were hired 2 weeks ago and you're instructed to go to not have any pictures taken these respected because the political leadership that the it just does not want the american people to know it means that we're standing in the get in front of the pictures so you know that they were thinking the rules are arbitrary and there's i believe that people i really respect and what i want to fix this situation we are going to get an illustration you want a 400 responsible for these conditions. now the biden and minister administration has continued to commit to transparency say that they do want the press to have access but yet they often continue to make excuses for why it's not happening we are mindful of the fact that we are in the middle of a pandemic we want to keep these kids safe keep the staff safe but we are absolutely committed to transparency and providing access to media to the border

patrol facilities and we're working to get that done as soon as we can so this is being set up and you have access to everything once we get to see. it just to be clear how soon will that be. i don't know. to be clear. now there seems to be an effort to not portray the situation on the border as it actually is and that includes memos that have been sent to media outlets take a listen. we should avoid or at the least be highly cautious about referring to the present situation as a crisis on our road although we may quote of his using that language now according to the associated press the situation with a large increase and surge in the number of migrants at the u.s. border does not fit the dictionary definition of a crisis however many are looking at it and saying it does seem like a crisis and it appears that there is now an effort by the biden ministration to

basically conceal from the public eye what is taking place along the u.s. border all right. thanks. 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 because the government numbers show that by 2024 point 3000000 children in britain lived in poverty nearly 2000000 went hungry because their families struggle to buy food live evans from the turn to us charity says that the pandemic has only exacerbated the crisis the government produces 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 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 a the best part of a decade of the government agenda of austerity you know we've had cuts to our benefits system freezes to our social security so it's good we're going to need more than just well paid jobs and we need a thought of all 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 . the government figures show that the number of children in 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 2 figures show what was clear all along the low income families with children and to depend on me financially vulnerable and with child poverty haven't risen by 700 southern since 2012 when benefits caused began this dismal data shows child power to levels and now diversity to only high children and their families will pay the price and those government x. urgently or low income families can currently receive just over $20.00 pounds a week for the 1st child or 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 families hit by the pandemic will be called 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 charm nation's children and it's not tomorrow and so we take it with many others who are saying it's very important legal and continues. to principle. that's a very immediate step because we've gotten control 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 movement 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 what

really get in sync but in a good stumbling through children that is put into things like. that could not seem to me you know. in need and around the world where governments really give them a lot of things to do to do a lot of need to get that same energy. and a group of teens speech. the world anti doping agency is looking into whether british authorities try to hush up some severe wrongdoing a decade ago wider has launched a formal investigation against you cowed into why it allowed a british cycling to run its own inquiry into a rider who tested positive for doping this was in the run up to the london olympics in clear violation of the rules crossing live out of london are to shadier edward bastin are joining us here on the program that this all goes back 10 years and the u.k. anti doping agency is claiming it's gotten no record of what happened maybe you can

shed some light on this. well the united kingdom anti doping agency has now found itself right in the middle of what's being described and dumped as the latest scandal in british sport so it comes of course as these allegations have now surfaced surrounding the investigation of an abnormal drug test all over cyclists during the london 2012 olympic games so much so the world anti-doping agency is now weighing in and launching an investigation some of the information provided to wada on this is of significant concern we have asked our independent intelligence and investigations department to look into this matter and to conduct u.k. and to do going to seek further information so it's claimed that the u.k. a d that's the u.k. anti doping agency and the porting responsible for policing clean sport domestically actually allowed british cycling to conduct its own probe after an individual provide a sample of unusual amount of nandrolone that's

a banned steroid in and out of competition drugs tests now the plausible explanations go from various health issues or even a contaminated supplement to now water is investigation is trying to examine how likely any of these options really are of course just to remind you under the water code it would be up to the u.k. a deed to actually conduct such a probe at the time however it is understood that now u.k. 80 is hopeful that the issue can be resolved and is really collaborating and saying it will work with water in the future we are working with water to investigate claims relating to private testing carried out by british cycling in 2011 you can do is examining archives to confirm decisions that were taken in 2011 followed due process set by water. now it's claimed that british cycling conducted its own testing absolutely privately and did not then pass on those results to the u.k. a d.

so now is saying it's reviewing all of its processes but of course given the length of time between 2012 and now and nearly a whole decade ago it's really making it difficult to connect the dots at this stage we are unable to give full comment on the story of the stage is the events took place of a 10 years ago and none of the senior management team involved have worked british cycling for some time we were reviewing such archived records that exist from this period and a loop that is not a straight forward or quick process we will share the findings with the relevant parties well this is the 2nd scandal to sweep the nation for british cyclists this month earlier former british cycling team doctor richard freeman was found guilty of not only ordering a banned substance but knowing and believing it was to be used to dope a ride at the time back in 2011 now freeman has since been charged by u.k. deal with 2 anti-doping rule violations and completely struck off the british

medical register as a result as well so not looking too good then this month but of course the timing of all this is particularly bad with lesson 128 days to go before the tokyo games again it's really bad timing considering a great britain has always been one of the more dominant nations nations in the discipline stacking up new murderous medals at various competitions now there is of course serious doubt now cost even in retrospect cost on the performances at the london 2012 olympics and other victories including other competitions like the tour de france. thank you. over there.

the hearings are expected to run for a month. for the 1st time in minnesota's history. a litmus test for the system. well this is where the rubber meets the more rope everyone across the world saw the george floyd chile i guess right knows 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 as progress being made welcome we saw a surge go to jail it's great big corporations say we love lay people 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 changing all or all of the riots all the tears all pain nothing is shades the america is still the same race is placed it's always there this is a true test. a 400 meter container ship that's been blocking the suez canal for the past week has finally been free it's after a massive refloating operation i want to start traffic has partially resumed along one of the world's busiest waterways the ever given a run aground during high winds on march the 23rd leaving hundreds of ships stranded on either side salvage teams using tug boats have now managed to wrench the skyscraper size ship from the canal sandy bank a blockage has held up an estimated $9000000000.00 worth of goods per day ultimately wreaking havoc in global supply chains and with an estimated $370.00 vessels still waiting to pass through it's likely to take several days for

navigation to return to normal there economist richard wolfe says it's a disaster that could have easily been avoided. 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 that in place if you were taking seriously the vulnerability so a little bit like in agriculture you can make more acreage produce more goods if the only grow one plant but then if something happens to that one plant you don't have the diversity which we used to have 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 are there are some top stories for this monday live here on international that's it for me as well but my colleague you know neil is here at the helm in about half an hour's time to give you more of your world like news stories.
