it's one of the world's largest collections some of them so deadly they make. their high security side. is made developers say the shot is 100 percent effective at producing antibodies against all strains. so i had a program a vaccination a patient. to get the. same he doesn't want to wait months to be. the full song. from a friend. with.
1:01 pm
a crisis on the southern u.s. border piles further pressure on the biden administration with migrant crossing still near record levels and journalist access to overcrowded detention facilities. u.k. government report reveals that more than 4000000 children were living in poverty before the. experts fear the situation could be full. 247 news live from moscow this is your r.t. international pleasure your company. 100 percent effective producing. to fight off all. all strains so say developers of russia's epi corona vaccine know
1:02 pm
it is one of 3 domestically produced jobs in circulation r.t. was invited to visit the high security laboratory in siberia or epi for corona is made. 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
1:03 pm
but they're eager to show and talk about how 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 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 role now has remained in its elder brother's shadow even in russia few people know how it works you know what we do 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
1:04 pm
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 and 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 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
1:05 pm
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 coded 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.
1:06 pm
iraq as their covert job and there were rumors of russia's former president dmitry medvedev did so as well but the dick head of the vector institute says vaccinate. it shouldn't be a free for all fight between different producers 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 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 done of reporting from the heart of siberia r.t. . let's just keep it the theme of russian scenes while the chilean businessmen has made a 6 those in kilometer round trip to receive on a less sun drew rather live your life to moscow to get inoculated with but likely because he wasn't willing to wait months to receive a shot. only people of my age are scared to be
1:07 pm
vaccinated after the summer saw the fire i decided to make. school. even if spoiled to me because not that there could be could be no but all the europeans see. quite clear that it's a very very good reason and many countries are using their honestly didn't receive any call. for more than 2 weeks which is a solution. to be worse than it is in russia most of the balls on the face book which is from a friend. with one of those for me. work and some friends ask me the next time we give you some free. because you know
1:08 pm
this is must be between them the amount of i think between 5 percent if you saw for those that we're telling an engineer was able to get a travel visa thanks to his russian wife his main motive for getting inoculated was to protect his elderly parents d'alessandro made his trip a 3rd corona virus wave sweeps across europe on the block continues to experience a vaccine shortage is. indeed new dealy coronavirus cases in italy have reached almost 24000 and the country has the 2nd highest death toll in europe with more than 107000 fatalities registered since the start of the brick. rubbly ali believes politics should not be the priority when it comes to saving lives. more than one. you can see all the people. all of people which is. why now you have the.
1:09 pm
situation i see that out of all bars all bars. of food and all about santa claus and. some flowers. i think the only problem. is that is made in russia the only one if exported you would have been made that i don't know in california. it would be a really need only to use the without any problem policy should be accepted the opposite let's buy and. be seen on 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 sure they care about the of people this should be the priority
1:10 pm
and not sound geopolitical. i don't know or even a relationship. which is now conditioning you know such important thing called for there before a county. lost some true will fly back to school at the beginning of april to get his 2nd dose we'll be following his journey and will keep you updated meanwhile a group scammers who saw fake medical certificates to foreigners as being detained in the russian city of novice sabir sc the federal security service sees over $1400.00 documents know they have a black market value of around $40000.00 and free to russia is currently heavily restricted for foreign nationals but. all of the valid medical reason can come in during the pandemic f.s.b. officers also find a list of people intending to purchase the forged documents
1:11 pm
a criminal case has been lodged. french doctors say hospitals are being pushed to breaking point by the latest influx of covert 1000 patients in an open letter medics warned they may soon be forced to choose which people to see they've also slammed president decision not to introduce another full lock to. 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 or 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
1:12 pm
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 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 from saw a 3rd wave of infections there are more than 27000 covert patients in hospitals across the country that's the highest figure this month while the number in intensive care is approaching 5000 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 law to forget about non patient. as for your
1:13 pm
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 and addition we don't just have to take care of patients with corona virus but also patients with more common diseases of the cardiovascular system or with neurological or on calendrical 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 there is no let up in the crisis in america's south western border with of migrants crossing the frontier from mexico on a daily basis many are being held severely overcrowded to tension facilities in texas and the biden ministration is also coming under growing pressure to let journalists into the building so that they can report let's. kill.
1:14 pm
this crisis it's fast turning into a disaster for the by did ministration bring us up to date with the latest developments. indeed the biden ministration is now struggling to deal with an upsurge of illegal crossings of the us border we have detained individuals being held in overcrowded facilities but the biden ministration does not seem to be anxious to let the public know what is really going on we recently saw republican u.s. senator ted cruz visiting a facility only to have officials from the immigration and customs enforcement blocking his view and preventing him from taking a photograph this is what happened when ted cruz visited a detention facility for migrants. but you were hired 2 weeks ago and you're instructed to ask us to not have any pictures taken these respected because the political leadership of the it just does not want the american people to know
1:15 pm
anything that we're here 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 to be a very good people i really like them but i want to fix this situation we are going to get an iteration you want a 400 responsible for these conditions. now at this point the biden ministration continues to say what it is said all along which is that it is committed to transparency however when the time comes to actually let that transparency happen we have some pretty strong excuses coming from jen psaki of the white house spokesperson here's what we've heard 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.
1:16 pm
it just to be clear how soon will that be mr president i don't know. to be clear now at this point we've got some voices that seem to be determined not to portray what's happening on the border as a crisis this is a memo from the associated press about how to describe the situation we should avoid or at the least be highly cautious about referring to the present situation as a crisis on our own although we may quote others using that language. now while the associated press doesn't consider what's happening at the u.s. border to fit the dictionary definition of a crisis a poll was taken and 75 percent of the u.s. public does say that what's happening at the u.s. border does indeed constitute a crisis now that biden ministration is talking about how they will adjust their policies they say they are committed to transparency but it seems like there's a pretty big desire to keep the details and images of what's actually happening at
1:17 pm
the border from the u.s. public something that critics are raking them over the coals for taking us through the sorties killam up and live from new york. shameful and heartbreaking but some of the reaction to a recent u.k. government report showing that even before the pandemic child poverty in the country hit record figures it shows that by 2024 point 3000000 children in britain lived in poverty nearly 2000000 went hungry because their family struggled to buy food the americans from the turn to us. code has only baited 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
1:18 pm
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 43 percent of people on universal credit that main benefit system in 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 a 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 you know we need a thought of all housing we need you know we need cuts to the rising cost of living
1:19 pm
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 also highlighted in the report is the number of children in relatively low income families is basically the same as in the late eighty'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 that low income families with children and to depend on me financially are vulnerable and with child poverty haven't risen by 700 southern since 2012 when benefits cars began this dismal data shows child poverty levels are now diversity to only 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
1:20 pm
a week just $27.00 for the 1st child nearly 14 pounds for every other child last year the government also temporarily introduced a 20 pound weekly well for increase for families hit by the pandemic we got the reaction of done paskin from save the children by the situation. at the moment the government is saying that 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 to nation's children and it's not tomorrow so we need to get it with many others who are saying it's going to grantley government continues to provide that extra principle. that's a very immediate step because we've got constrained 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 none of what it means on and job losses and that's where it's important for the government to move away from
1:21 pm
thinking about temporary measures during demick to. building on your actions we take are but really get in sync but given a good start blood group children that is put into things like. that could not seem to me you know we don't need going around the world where governments really give them a lot of things to do or to do a lot which is good and we need to get that same energy. and you go into the speech . another story we're closely following today the world anti-doping agency is looking into whether british authorities tried to hush up some severe wrongdoing a decade ago what it has lost a formal investigation against u.k. antidoping in 2 why it alive british cycling to run its own inquiry in to a writer who tested positive for a bun substance in the run up to the london olympics 2012. shadi interest dust has been looking into this she said file this report. the united kingdom anti doping
1:22 pm
agency has now found itself right in the middle of what's being described and dubbed as the latest scandal in british sport so it comes 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 you keen to do going to see further information well it's claimed that u.k. 80 which is of course the body responsible for policing clean sport domestically allegedly allowed british cycling to conduct its own probe after this individual provided a sample with an absolutely unusual amount of nandrolone which is a banned steroid in and out of competition tests plausible explanations range from health issues are one end but other ends and explanations include contaminated
1:23 pm
supplements and that's exactly what waters investigation is all about looking at how likely any of these options really are of course as a reminder under the water code it would be up to u.k. a d. to conduct such a probe at the time however it's now understood that u.k. it is for the issue can be resolved and is cooperating with water we are working with wada 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 wada 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.f. so now is saying it's reviewing all of its processes but of course given the length of time between 2012 and now or nearly a whole decade ago it's really making it difficult to connect the dots at this stage we're. able to give full comment on the story at this stage is the events
1:24 pm
took place of a 10 years ago and none of the senior management team involved have worked british cycling for some time we are 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 from birth to 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 row 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 great britain has always been one of the

container ship that's been blocking the suez canal for the past week has finally been freed following a muscle refloating operation traffic has partially resumed along one of the world's busiest waterways the ever given run aground during high winds last tuesday leaving hundreds of ships stranded on either side salvage teams using tug boat money is to wrench the skyscraper size ship from the kennel sunday bank the blockage held up an estimated 9000000000 dollars worth of goods per day wreaking havoc in global supply chains and with an estimated $370.00 vessels waiting to pass through it is likely to take several days for navigation to return to normal economist richard walsh sais it's a disaster that should have been anticipated. 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
1:28 pm
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 it's a little bit like in agriculture you can make more acreage produce more goods if you 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 or the.
