a tree. is made developer say the shot is 100 percent effective producing antibodies against all. of the world anti-doping agency launches a formal probe against the. body. failed to investigate a cyclist who tested positive for a substance. around the clock across the world this is art from the team myself you know hello and welcome to the program. there is no let up in the crisis on america's western border with migrants crossing the frontier from mexico on a daily basis many are being held at severely overcrowded detention facilities in
2:02 pm
texas and the biden ministration is also coming under growing pressure to let journalists into the buildings. as more. 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 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 at the it just does not want the american people to know anything that they were here standing in the in front of the pictures so you know that they were
2:03 pm
thinking the rules are arbitrary and there's i believe that in people highly reactive and i want to fix this situation we are going to get an iteration you want a $400.00 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'll have access to everything once we get to see. it just to be clear how soon will that be mr president i don't know. to be clear. now
2:04 pm
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 might quote of his using that language. well the associated press says it may not actually fit the dictionary definition of a crisis a recent poll taken among the u.s. public shows that 76 percent of americans believe the situation on the us border is indeed a crisis. a police body count video in the u.s. state of maryland caused widespread outrage it shows officers restraining and one cuffing a 5 year old boy who had allegedly left school with thought per mission a warning some viewers may find the images disturbing. kind of i. think i don't
2:05 pm
know i'm not asking to get in the car. i mean how do you learn that type of behavior at 5 i think if you could sit down. and they know you can move you can be free you can go anywhere you do we tell you to do you know the incident occurred in january last year. police department at least the video a few days ago. apparently called the police asking them to find the boy after he walked into the building at one point in the video an officer can be heard talking about the child saying i'd beat him. commenting on the case more than police admit thought it was body and i don't do it and it is clear that the event and everything that has come after the event should have been handled better by all involved it is important to note that unless and officers assigned to
2:06 pm
a specialized unit but come are county police officers did not receive training on how to effectively communicate with a young child in distress. the boy's mother has filed a lawsuit against the officers both of them are remaining employed with the department currently pending internal investigation that we heard from youth rights campaigner avery smedley she thinks there is no justification for the officers behavior. i was moshav by how aggressive they were from the very outset i honestly think they need to be fired there's just no reason they should be acting in this 25 year old and it makes you wonder how they treat other members of the community i'm not sure what process you need to happen to have that bill be public so i assume it was some legal issue but i i just can't understand why the investigation why the release of the video to so long i just want to know what makes you approach a 5 year old in that way because it's inexcusable what makes you approach
2:07 pm
a 5 year old that way he is 5 he needed to be approached with compassion and of course he was horrified in screaming from the outset because that's what they're leading the tell me that's the term they're standing by and by screaming at him and manhandling him so i just can't justify it that's what i that's what i would ask them how do you possibly justify this. let's stay stateside were a murder trial is now under way in minnesota and over the death of george floyd and spent on sparked a wave of civil unrest last summer former police officer tara chauvin faces 2 counts of murder and one count of months later the hearings are expected to run for a month and are 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 matters greater new york chapter he sees the trial as a litmus test for the u.s. judicial system you can watch the interview unfold at r.t.
2:08 pm
dot com well this is where the rubber meets the most room 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 as progress being made willfully sorcerers go to jail. it's great big corporations say we love life people it's good that politicians say we're going to stand by black people will have very shortly it is a bit of murder in the proceedings there will i mean everything remains the same nothing is changing all or all of the riots all the tears all pain nothing has changed america is still the same race displaced it's always been this is a true test. 100 percent effective
2:09 pm
producing cope with antibodies which fight off all mutant strains that's what developers of russia's epi corona vaccine have announced it is one of 3 domestically produced jobs now in circulation r.t. was invited to visit the high security laboratory in siberia or epi fact carona 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
2:10 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 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
2:11 pm
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 fans like to enter a room you need to open a door the vaccine forms antibodies to 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 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 will be taken to
2:12 pm
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 in krueger's and therefore we will develop antibodies for covert 19 it's hard to find a volunteer in russia who'd want to be very covert 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
2:13 pm
russian officials have already chosen r.p. iraq as their covert jab 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 to why 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 choose you are getting the best shot at immunity and we've done of reporting from the heart of siberia r.t. . just staying with the theme of russian vaccines one telly and businessmen has made a 6000 kilometer round trip to receive all. of it flew to moscow to get inoculated with sputnik me because he wasn't willing to wait months to receive
2:14 pm
a shot buckle. only people of my age are scared 'd to be vaccinated after the some at a store or the fire i decide to make initially. think is absolutely. even if spooked me because not that there could be could have been a brawl the wrong region see. quite clear that it's a very very good reason and many counties 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. network and some friends asked me the next time we give you some free agent. because you
2:15 pm
know this is must be between them the amount of i think between 5 and ascending to the soft and low that the italian 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. made his trip a 3rd corona virus wave sweeps across europe on the block continues to experience vaccine shortages and. indeed new delhi coronavirus cases in italy have reached almost 24 hours and the country has the 2nd highest death toll in europe with more than 107000 fatalities registered since the start of the bric last under robert believes politics should not be the priority when lives are at stake. more than when you're a warrior outsider you can see all the people who do you know full of people which
2:16 pm
would enjoy your wine now view of the. situation i can see that out of all bars all bars. during the evening it did in their food and all bars are close it is like a desert. some flowers. i think the only problem of this that put to me is made in russia the only one if put in you would have been made that i don't know in california. it would be already need. to use that without any problem policy should be accepted the opposite let's buy and less get to be seen on the market where we can find it because we have to go into a round quickly to worsen it all our population and because all that a wise with other was initial we will never see the end of the tunnel policy should
2:17 pm
they care about of people this should be the priority and not sound geopolitical. i don't know or even a relationship. which is now conditioning you know such important and crucial matter for their of our country. less andro will fly to moscow at the beginning of april to get his 2nd dose and leave following his journey will give people. a group of scammers who sold fake medical certificates to foreigners has been detained in the russian city of novosibirsk the federal security service sees over $1400.00 documents with a black market value of a run 40000 dollars and free to russia is currently heavily restricted for foreign nationals but people with a valid medical reason come come in during the f.s.b. officers also find a list of people intending to purchase the forged documents
2:18 pm
2:19 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to. let it be an arms race. spear in dramatic development that only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk. look at the world doping agency is looking into whether british authorities try to wash up some severe wrongdoing a decade ago what launched
2:20 pm
a formal investigation against u.k. anti-doping into why it allowed british cycling to run its own inquiry into a rider who tested positive for a bone substance in the run up to the london olympics shadi edwards that's the story. the united kingdom anti doping 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 can see further information well it's claimed that u.k. 80 which is of course the body responsible for policing clean sport domestically
2:21 pm
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 an out of competition test plausible explanations range from health issues are one end but other ends and explanations include contaminated 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. dia's 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
2:22 pm
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 of this stage is the events took place of a 10 years ago and none of the senior management team involved have worked the british cycling for some time we are reviewing such archived records that exist from this period and lou 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 dr 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 at the british
2:23 pm
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 more dominant nations nations in the discipline stacking up new murderous medals of various competitions now there is of course serious doubt now cast even in retrospect cast on the performances at the london 2012 olympics and other victories including other competitions like the tour de france. and the merkel has voiced her frustration over the way germany's local authorities are telling the mic the chancellor has threatened to resort to federal powers are europe correspondent peter all over reports from berlin and can break down the story. well during this interview that the chancellor gave on sunday evening she took particular sick and
2:24 pm
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 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 and that's something that's being backed up by anger merkel's health minister yen spahn ltd sign him off 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's currently hold at around the
2:25 pm
$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 chix 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 bishes 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
2:26 pm
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 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
2:27 pm
are in other parts of the world europe is staring down the barrel of more lockdowns more restrictions on its citizens meanwhile vaccine shortages triggered a full blown political crisis in slovakia the prime minister igor and not a bitch said he's ready to step down under intense pressure from the governing coalition that's after he agreed to buy 2000000 doses of the russian made covert vaccine sputnik 3 using an emergency procedure to get the deal through its allies in the war party coalition are apparently furious that he feel to consult them slovakia approve the job earlier this month becoming the 2nd e.u. nation after hungary to do so although so far the shots has not been given the green light by the european medicines agency. but we cannot cross live to nickel america which political analysts for his take on this good to see
2:28 pm
a nickel why is the slovak prime minister getting so much grief from his own allies over this the country needs vaccines are instantly don't think this is crazy the situation would be farcical if it wasn't so dramatic can you imagine still wrecked it which has one of the worst. contamination chorused today in europe with a lot of good over 10000 people who have died is looking corner agency emergency situation the prime minister wants to order a vaccine a vaccine which has been sold 'd around the world which has got very good critics by by medical of medical people worldwide he ordered his backs you know because he orders 'd it from russia the coalition with the other movements which is in his coalition which are extremely fanatical pro european want in this dire situation for slovakia to break down this coalition because he took the emergency decision of ordering 2000000 vaccines to help his population which has been hard hit very hard by the coronavirus this is preposterous this is really
2:29 pm
a crazy situation that we're what we're facing today in europe and see how how bad the situation is being managed by by these pro european i'd say fanatics who dr king common sense and who are not looking at solutions to i mean solicitors are on hand to help the people today this is crazy what's next then for slovakia's vaccine deal with russia nicholas 2000000 shots are on the way is that all going to be council do you hunt. i don't know he signed as an order so there probably it would have to look into in the in the few details of that contract to see exactly what happens if they would rescind that this isn't a definite i think this will back and people will not understand that so that i can swamp that seems to reckons want to solution and even people who are not big fans about backs and nations can say that at least the government is trying something don't forget that we're over a year later we still have no solution other countries are the 3rd 4th lockdowns so records been hit very hard for this of i can people going to think of their own
2:30 pm
government which is saying no to a solution which is working in venezuela and iran and pakistan in italy and hungary and it wouldn't be working in slovakia this is quite crazy and i think that's so i can i would differ not understand this i think that the coalition members it's just shot themselves in the foot because the so reckons they want solutions they don't want politics and they don't definite don't see i think brussels intervention because this is what's behind all of this brussels intervention as a good as a good thing course brussels in managing the situation today worse brussels just on the point with a 32nd clip the e m a has been stalling for months on whether to approve spending why do you think they're taking so much time over because this whole european open market is just an open market for the buck if you put these big companies which have got big interest in doing the laundry being in brussels and they want but they did biggest piece of the pie this 58000000000 euro market of the virus they don't want to share it they don't care about health they want the dividends they want the money that's what it's all about and this is.
