of the euro for restrictions. on the origin of corona virus is still a mystery to. many questions unanswered russian experts on the condition why it's taking so long. thanks so much for joining as this is. the french president admits he made mistakes at every stage of the pandemic in a televised address to the nation. and now it's the 3rd nationwide lockdown the case is saw intensive care filling up the country's death toll is near 210-0000 he said the situation left him with no other choice. the city i know
4:02 am
that at every stage of this epidemic we might say to ourselves that we could have done better that we made mistakes all this is true we all need to make an additional effort over the coming months this is what i ask of us collectively tonight the new lockdown measures will be extended from 19 areas to all of mainland france from saturday this means a nationwide curfew beginning at 7 pm will be imposed and travel between regions will be banned the french president also said schools will be closed for at least 3 weeks and he announced additional policing to ensure no more than 6 people can gather at once all the measures introduced by the president come as a complete u. turn to his previous decision not to lock down in january as a result he is receiving mounting criticism from scientists and hospital chiefs. i say to the government do it now do it now or do it for a shorter time but do it to concede their right not to implement
4:03 am
a lockdown in france at the end of january because we didn't have the explosion of cases that every model predicted france's president is without a doubt an educated man emmanuel macro and through through the country's top institutions before making a mark in both the private the public sector even the playing from youngest of a president i mean it's a pretty impressive resume and people traded in selfless and learned he knew when to take advice it is important at this time by following the advice of scientists as we've just done to ensure the continuity of on democratic life and our institutions but now it seems being top dog isn't quite enough not grown his throwing himself into an entirely new discipline the president has acquired real expertise in health issues it is not an inaccessible subject for an intelligent person like him considering the important time he has dedicated to it for several
4:04 am
months not cause aids if he wouldn't hope for there he declared that he has become an epidemiologist despite not having a scientific background in these claims over. seas on health issues have also rubbed the wrong way with mr mccauley as president of the republic and in the framework of the pandemic just like all heads of state he has become interested in epidemiological data yes to put his nose to the grindstone he's obliged to take notice of trends but that doesn't make him an epidemiologist of course it really for all those that talk about epidemiology and among them we can find heads of states like president mccrone who talks about epidemiology just like we talk about politics like we talk about sculpture or about music but they're not necessarily sculpture artists. oh musicians. in britain there are fears of a nursing exodus after a survey revealed n.h.s. staff are now more likely to quit their jobs citing exhaustion from the pandemic
4:05 am
goes into the poll one in 4 n.h.s. workers are more inclined to leave and they were last year almost 30 percent of them are nurses and midwives to occupations that are facing major shortages 70 percent said the pay rise is the decisive factor in all those working for free student nurses are struggling just to make ends meet one of them gave us her reaction to the survey findings it doesn't surprise me it's what we've had to use it needs increased workload. not the cost of living has gone up the wages have increased but it's so much stress on the nurses that midwives everyone involved in that question and i think to be honest with the kind of a pandemic i think everyone has now had enough and they need help and i feel the government need to help and increase the wages you know what there are to get a good environment for everyone but his health authorities in turn a promise to provide the n.h.s. with an extra $29000000000.00 pounds but the nurse we spoke to says that money
4:06 am
isn't making any real difference when it comes to student medics. we get the 5000 pounds and some people get 1000 pounds grant depends on if it were the children or what feels like i mean tape but in reality is it's all in the eye shit if that the increase in childcare costs you know the increasing council tax increase in the if you get into placement in my 1st year i think it's a defeat back twice. and that should aid the nest states that were actually were tightness is at the rate bank they could have played to say should i go into this position because i have rabelais our 2 children and that's why my move by requiring what was quite a full time childcare and the other one it just started sco the funds come for you all to we've already signed up for the course of that for you the potential if you leave the coals and it does add to the mental so that the sorry sorry. meanwhile the u.k. sports minister is being lampooned online after he suggested people should avoid hugging to save lives people took issue though with the way he described hugs as

guilty of various actions. 'd 'd along the way to report on the origins of covert 19 has faced sharp criticism worldwide some countries say the investigation wasn't extensive enough as many questions remain unanswered the director general himself called for further studies and the report was published we got a firsthand account of the w.h.o. mission from a russian member of the team. which will cause our mission started off under phase one why was it called that it was clear from the beginning nobody expected us to find answers to all the questions right away in fact it was prepared to rework aimed at analyzing the data we had accumulated and establishing hypotheses in general it's hard to predict how long this investigation
4:09 am
will take and how it will end but it should be done that's for sure. or we've managed to find out that the virus supposedly emerged in the period between the middle of november and the beginning of december however we don't know the exact location of the outbreak in my view it was in china but it's not clear yet it's unlikely though that the outbreak occurred in a wet market most probably it was some market visitor who had already been infected and spread the virus this suggestion derives from the fact that there were quite a large number of patients who had nothing to do with the markets we don't know who the 1st patient was neither do we know the natural origin of covert 19 based on our common knowledge of various coronaviruses we suggest it's a but might have been a source for. the year the issue is very much politicized everyone is trying to find someone to blame i've never considered the oblique hypothesis a theory there's so much talk about this in the media though but people don't
4:10 am
really have an idea there is no scientific evidence or facts proving a leak as of today based on what we saw i can say that the suspect a laboratory is run properly by well trained staff there is total compliance with all the rules regarding work with viruses of this has a class or even the class above the laboratory is regularly audited and is in the constant scrutiny of competence international organizations building from that with their 4 can't say that a lab leak might have been the cause. we didn't feel any pressure coming from our chinese colleagues actually it wouldn't even be the case i can't think of how they could have put pressure on us we are in no way affiliated with china people from various countries were part of our team who went to carry out this investigation on behalf of the w.h.o. and what would have been the point of pressurising us we hardly liaise with officials we were largely in touch with scientists. a cold

of contention between democrats and republicans in america that story. all of the information in the world when you put it together and prosecute simultaneously it adds up to 0 it adds up to nothing all delusion of differentiation will be obliterated the illusion of making a profit will be obliterated because we're entering into a period of the singularity. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe.

place a nation or community. are you going the. right away or are you being legs. what is true. is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallows. seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape our. advocate and engagement equals betrayal. one song many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
4:16 am
and demick has laid bare a host of political divisions in america especially over how to respond to the crisis now democrats and republicans are slugging it out over mask mandates and vaccine passports on the scale of morbid looks at the latest clashes. joe biden says america is going to start getting back to normal in the coming summer months but what is that going to look like will normal only be for vaccinated folks while everyone else stays home such talk is being met with fury from republicans who are set against it especially when it comes from democrats who oppose aidid checks considering that democrats want to require vaccine i.d.'s for people to conduct their basic daily activities they now have 0 grounds to objects to voter id laws he funded democrat logic you should need a $92.00 and even
4:17 am
a grocery stool surely there wouldn't be an objection to showing an i.d. to legally vote vaccine credentials would be a complete government over step individuals in america have a personal responsibility for their health the governor of florida is now promising a state wide ban it's completely unacceptable for either the government or the private sector to impose upon you the requirement that you show proof of vaccine to just simply be able to participate in normal society you want the fox to guard the hen house i mean give me a break i think this is something that has huge privacy implications it is not necessary to do democrats are standing their ground now the 1st leader to propose the idea of vaccine passports was andrew cuomo the governor of new york state back at the beginning of the pandemic he was a glowing hero in mainstream media but sense that his image has significantly faded but his idea of vaccine passports with q.r.
4:18 am
codes that will be scanned by businesses for admission is catching on madison square gardens is already saying it will be a requirement and republicans now face mainstream media ridicule for their opposition to the proposal and irresponsibly they're being stupid right which is very rich coming from the party that wants 9 forms of identification before you can vote the right would have you believe that a vaccine paul spoke is a fact. really big brother coming for you and your family now the white house has confirmed it is working with the private sector to develop vaccine passports however they insist they are not keeping a database of who is and who is not vaccinated at the federal level so let the political games begin it's just like the mask man day now at this point 16 states have either lifted their mask mandate or never had one to begin with and now joe biden is urging them to reinstate it as there's a surge of cases i'm reiterating my call for every governor mare and local leader
4:19 am
to maintain and really stay to match men. please this is not politics republican governors do not seem to appreciate joe biden's plea in fact the governor of arkansas has moved up the lifting of the mast mandate by an entire day he says the case numbers are showing a downward trend and now we have the mainstream media pressing the white house about whether or not joe biden is just being ignored for the. norm who oh i don't think we see it that way jeff but i would say that one of the ways we can impact people across the country is bag knowledge ng this is hard the shenanigans are starting to sound a little bit less like they're motivated by concerns about public health and more like some classic american political squabbling the kind that's been around long before covert 19 and i'm going to reflect on the train feeling i have and. we have so much to look forward to so much promise and potential of where we are and so
4:20 am
much reason for how all right now i'm scared the war continue vaccine passports mask mandates every new proposed measure seems to present a new opportunity for us decided to further polarize ideally i mean would be great if politicians focused on something other than creating political division and advancing special interests and the like but they don't and. with coronavirus well receiving is that politicians are using the panic to funnel money to their corporate allies you see this through the plans to create required vaccinations which of course by necessity bring a huge amount of money to the pharmaceutical companies that are producing those vaccinations and so we're seeing a lot of things that look a lot more like corruption and a lot less like trying to actually provide guides for the american people as far as i know there is no meaningful plan in place to go back to complete normalcy to creak or own a virus type behavior i don't see there is bet that
4:21 am
a vaccine passport to go to normal places could possibly be seen as something constitutional the united states presidency has lost the trust of the people and they did they didn't do this all at once this didn't happen because a krone virus they've just been lying to the american people about a lot of. new covert mutations could render 1st generation banks's ineffective in a year old less that's the start warning came from scientists in the people's vaccine alliance some of the world's leading scientists from $28.00 countries took part in the survey 2 thirds of the war new strains in front of current vaccines ineffective and that new ones need to be developed the vast majority said low vaccine rates make the emergence of new more resilient mutations more likely to discuss the results of the survey with oxfam's head of unequality policy max lawson it doesn't have to be a choice between vaccinating someone in birmingham and someone indicate you know we
4:22 am
could have enough vaccines for the whole world we could make the whole world so this is pretty stark since in many countries all over the world and that is not being used because the monopolies of pharmaceuticals are being defended so that was absolutely criminal and. that's what we need to see happen unless that happens the shortages will continue. the world health organization says current vaccines could offer at least some protection against new variants the director of russia's vector scientific center also says it's not all doom and gloom that current vaccines could be quickly modified every year the w.h.o. defines the composition of vaccines for the following epidemiological season using updated strains of influenza virus it's likely that for science kovi to the w.h.o. can potentially also determine the recommended strains of the virus for inclusion into the vaccine while masks and single use gloves have arguably been saving lives

during the pandemic and environmentalists are worried they may be doing irrevocable harm to animals around the world after they've been discarded a study in the journal animal biology cites examples of fish trapped in latex gloves birds and tangled in masks and a whole host of animals from monkeys in malaysia to penguins in south america with rubber gloves in their stomachs the researchers have been gathering data from veterinarians wildlife groups and trash collectors around the globe we spoke with authors of the report about the findings all started with the find of fish of birds and slept a lot explodes here in the canals and every sunday we go out with a team of volunteers to collect a litter to do a cleanup and certainly a volunteer turns and so i found that there is a fish inside and it was searched at a strange moment to see this serve little fish and slept in the glove and then you realize like this is very set. very separated deep but how often
4:24 am
does this actually happen and we have no clues that only started to search for examples of the impact of our leader on the animal life and actually looked fine. well according to that study humanity uses 129000000000 face mask and 65000000000 gloves each month for example in the u.k. medical p.-p. items there were found at nearly a 3rd of all monitored beaches that just 3 months after face coverings became obligatory that one of the researchers behind that report says it's time the government stepped in but we really think the government should step up to really encourage. using were usable items because it's not taking into account when producing these single use products it's also affecting wildlife that is being literate in great amounts like we find him on the streets in so many so many amounts in large amounts and also in the canals are laden with volunteers cleanup work in aus and in just
4:25 am
a few kilometers they found over hundreds of these face masks and it's that's yet it's such a big problem ok you are buying up today if you want to find out more news or maybe just sick of looking at me you can head to our web site lots of news there r.t. dot com. problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see me very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids invaded america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers all the governments.

in the 1920 s. and thirty's several 100 african-americans moved to the soviet union and many of their descendants still live in russia. again at the risk of no no rush but us though up at a stop yes it got worse cyclone things on their way. back home but i can merican suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. is that lump us mud that he'll be a losing one by elsa store but by doing. so they decided to leave everything behind and start a new life in a country about which they knew almost nothing at all some of the rear troops who were too through during the night. found great crowds. to move a few you're going to call. you and now almost
4:27 am
a 100 years later history is repeating itself my great grandfather george time went through russia. on probable worst try to go anywhere why not me. when i come here. so what we've got to do is identify the threats. that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development the only posts a week and going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.
