the european. urges countries to keep using me. we made mistakes true. mission field years in the humbling of the. french president country imposes a 3rd. in the u.k. . 2020 with. so

much. help and. millions dead the origin of. a long awaited w.h.o. report from. one minute after midday in mexico city 11 pm in corruption. here in moscow on this the 1st day of april welcome to new. the european medicines agency has thrown its support behind the. vaccine the spike fears over severe blood

clots the regulator is launching yet another investigation into the issue but insists country should keep using the shot. according to the current scientific knowledge there is no evidence that would support restricting the use of the vaccine in any population 2 weeks ago on the 18th of march we gave an interim update of the assessment we concluded after time that the benefits of the after turning back in preventing codeine change with a. risk of hospitalized patients and their outweigh the risk of side effects and our position has not changed another i mentioned previously a causal link with the vaccine has not yet been progress but it is possible. this is still ongoing well this astra zeneca saga continues doesn't it the latest being

the head of the european medicines agency insisting there is no evidence to suggest the best mode of action here would be to restrict the use of the astra zeneca vaccine and there is of course coming just days after germany decided to limit distribution of the job citing concerns over blood clots now worldwide there have been $62.00 cases of this rare blood clotting condition which has prompted a number of european countries to temporarily holt's use of the vaccine germany's medical regulator has recorded 31 cases of this rare blood clots condition although in people younger than the age of 63 all but 2 were women and 9 people have died and angela merkel has said this is data that the government just can't ignore the negative comments the standing committee for vaccination published nearly commendations in the future use of the senate vaccination i quote on the basis of the currently available will be limited evidence and with a view to the pandemic situation the standing committee for vaccination recommends

the use of the eschews any $1000.00 vaccine and those over 60 it's application for under sixty's is still possible a doctor's discretion and individual acceptance of the risks one is just another setback in the e.u. . progress really the block's vaccine rollout has been heavily criticized for being sluggish and this is mainly due to their facts that they just don't have a sufficient supply of vaccines only 4 percent of the books population has been vaccinated so far and the world health organization has really criticized this and said you know the block really needs to get a move on vaccines present our best way out of this pandemic however the rollout of these vaccines is an acceptably slow we must speed up the process by ramping up manufacturing reducing barriers to administering vaccines and using every single vial we have in stock mel this is brussels also receives criticism from 5 is there which is blames the e.u. stringent export controls for delaying covert vaccine efforts now 5 is that the

drug maker which has a base in belgium supplies britain and 70 other countries around the world so we're seeing delays upon delays here so perhaps the perfect timing to introduce a helping hand in the form of an alternative vaccine but what if the vaccine is russian now the european medicines agency has been evaluating the for several weeks now but there are some countries that just aren't willing to wait any longer and have started ordering and some even started using the sputnik the vaccine hungary and slovakia are on board all stria being the latest european countries to order the vaccine and a recent poll in germany as shows that over half the country want its government to also follow suit now so we all remember the negative press surrounding sputnik the when the vaccine was 1st unveiled but now it seems that using sputnik the might be that the logical answer to all of these problems. just

a little bit more on the story we heard from martin a politician from germany's left party he thinks the vaccine rollout in europe been politicized the expense of people's health and ultimately their lawyers. we look at what is going on with a mall and i think we need every work seeing which is. also a little too low to use and which is. secure so when we see that a straw is in there as a lot of doubts. so we should take the alternatives and i think. 'd sure to fast enough to. evaluate and then to will accept. all of a vigil like scenes which i'm sure were unsafe to be used i think the population is very insecure at the moment i think demick there should be a lot more bolts of nationalism and confidence between different quantum lose their

shop beat the politics internationally in favor of the people and of the health of the people and of the governments are responsible. not all use the possibilities which are there should be madras and here measures to 'd secure or else of people instead of to is to secure the profits of the industry. the french president has admitted he made mistakes out every stage of the pandemic in a televised address to the nation a manual mccrone also announced a 3rd nation wide bloc dinah's cope with cases soar intensive care beds fell upon the country's death toll nears 100000 he said the situation left him no other choice. this that i know 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 efforts over the coming months this is what i ask of us collectively tonight the new locked on measures will be extended from 19 areas to all of me and one friends from saturday and that means a nationwide curfew beginning at 7 pm travel between regions and the french president also said schools they'll be close or at least 3 weeks on a nice the dish will policing to ensure no more than 6 people gather wants well the measures introduced by the french leader come really as a u.-turn to his previous decision not to locked on those in january he was criticized at the time by scientists and hospital bosses. 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 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 doubt an educated

man emmanuel macro and through through the country's top institutions before making a mark in both the private or public sector he then repaying france's youngest ever president i mean it's a pretty impressive resume and people traded in selfless and learned he knew when to take advice needed it is important at this time by following the advice of scientists as we've just done to ensure the continuity of 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 months not cause he wouldn't do 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. mr mccracken is president of the republic and in the framework of the pandemic just like all heads of states 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 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 when we talk about sculpture or bots music but they're not necessarily sculpture artists. musicians. meanwhile fears of a nursing exodus in britain after a survey revealed that n.h.s. staff are now more likely to quit their jobs not in previous years exhaustion from the pandemics not have is the overriding reason according to the poll one in 4 n.h.s.

workers are mourning klein to leave during the previous 12 months almost 30 percent of them are nurses and midwives to occupations facing major shortages and 70 percent said a pay rise is at the sites of factor while those working for free student nurses say they're struggling to make ends meet one of them gave us her reaction to the survey findings it doesn't surprise me at school we've had. increased. the cost of living has gone up but wages have increased so much stress on the nurses that made wives everyone involved in that session and i think to be honest with the private pandemic i think everyone has now had enough and they need help and i feel the government may to help and increase the way to get a good environment for everyone a british health authorities have promised to provide the n.h.s. with an extra 29000000000 pounds but the nurse we spoke to says that money isn't making any difference really when it comes to student minix. we get the 5000 pounds

and some people get 1000 pound dependent 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 increase in council tax increase and if you get into placement in my 1st year i think it's state of freight back twice. and that should aid in the states that were actually were tightness stays at the plate bank they could have played to say should i go into this position because i have 2 children and that's why my with 5 require it was quite a full time childcare and the other one it just started scope the thought has come for you all to we've already signed up for the course of that for you potentially if she leaves the coals and it does add to the mental some of the that it's. just something else coming from the u.k. very sports minister there is being on point on line after he suggested people should vote hogging all together to save lives not people took issue with the way

he described hugs all behavior. despite the temptation pleased. by actually hunting. for. the disease he sees somebody. may be called and. where can i report you because if you think you're promoting normal behavior you need to check out from the neck up what script are you reading from no same individuals would put this out there as normal. behaving in a slightly over way strange choice of words to describe family members hugging one another. in other words if you see someone behaving like

a human being then call them out. can he call his many colleagues who have been found guilty of various actions. ready ready ready a long awaited w.h.o. reports on the origins of covert 19 faced sharp criticism worldwide some countries say the investigation was not extensive enough as many questions still remain the w.h.o. director general himself called for further studies out of the report was published that we got a firsthand account of the w h o mission. from a russian member of the team let's listen. 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 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. 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 most people don't 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 suspected 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 we therefore 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. russia is expanding the global role and selvi sputnik seen the russian direct investment fund which is overseeing production has struck a deal in the 100000000 doses of the job in china. cooperation will help increase production capacities of sputnik v. in china to provide the necessary amounts and help partners in the country and globally to fight the pandemic china is one of the major production hopes for sputnik v. and we are ready for increasing the scope of partnership with local producers to meet the rising demand for the russian vaccine. well those upcoming stocks will be enough to vaccinate 50000000 people as each person needs 2 doses the russian job

has not yet been approved for use in china but assuming that happens the chinese manufacturer will distribute it domestically as well as abroad so far spawning 3 has been licensed in almost 60 countries china analysts victor go thinks moscow and beijing have plenty to gain from working together on fixing. for china to help russia to produce the a vaccine and to introduce that to the chinese consumers as well as markets outside of china would be a very china has one of the largest the manufacturing capacity is in fact seeing so if we use the. produced by the russian sites or the production of a vaccine physically in china it will be a when we situation i do not see any reason why this vaccine should not be approved of by the chinese role it's a real oranges and i hope the chinese people will have a choice if they want to use one of 2 all 3 chinese vaccines they will be able to

do that if they prefer those who make maxy they were i would choice to be made by themselves. still to come this hour a multi 1000000000 euro pipeline project between russia and europe is close to completion but the firm building it say's there's a new challenge ahead and it involves more ships and submarines that story and more fuel to the bridge and. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on offense very. dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful

very critical time time to sit down and talk. shows seem wrong. but old rules just don't call. me you get to shape out these days become educated and in gains from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. 20 minutes into the program welcome back russian european for advancing with the

final stages of the nord stream to play in the spotlight and u.s. and shins but now the company behind the project says it's come up against the were cool form of pressure. picks up the story while never a quiet day for the north stream to pipeline with just a few dozen kilometers to go until the project is fully completed and recent days we've seen heightened activity around the primary building site that's just off the coast of denmark military and civilian vessels have been caught on camera as of helicopters and planes now a representative of north stream too says that these belong to foreign governments who are no way involved in the project and therefore have absolutely no business being that for him that means that there's only one way that such maneuvers can be on top or to. draw these are clearly planned and prepared provocations with the use of fission vessels and worships as well as submarines and aircraft in order to

obstruct the implementation of an economic project it is perhaps the 1st case of these kind in history. so clearly these vessels inching closer to those locks are seen as hostile but we have to remember also what our health and safety has if they pose there is a fact a one and a half mile no fly and no swims around the project but it appears that at least one submarine is within a mile so that has a real potential for quite literally explosive disaster not just to recap we know of course the north stream to pipeline is the $11000000000.00 mega project that's going to see 1200 kilometers of pipeline direct. quickly cheaply to live a gas from russia to germany around 94 percent of the project is now completed but it's really been stop and start why well from the very moment that if the project was announced that was one global player who came out all guns blazing against it the u.s. washington sees this as

a geopolitical danger it says that more russian gas can only mean more russian influence and no one wants that of course it would also prefer to buy it liquefied natural gas and of course at a much higher price that rhetoric we had time and time again from trump and straight out of the gates the same thing we heard from the biden administration alternately it's in contradiction to the use on energy security goals it has the potential to undermine the interests of of ukraine poland a number of other close partners or allies well in order to protect u.s. interests we've seen washington resort to pressure to threats to sanctions against any companies and governments who dared to get involved in the project now understandably that's led to a lot of anger frustration some even not taking heat case in point the plight playing ship for to know that as a party now in sa called in those hostile danish waters for them as from moscow

this is purely an economic project politics has got nothing to do with it but still apparently not everyone's convinced me still seeing complete sight figures including nato weighed into the issue on the issue of north stream 2 there are differences there are different use among nato allies and then i think that nato is a buffer we also can address and discuss this issue nato doesn't have a common view on north stream too but why does the military organization have to take a common standpoint toller it's a business project between 2 independent states maybe their alliance has plans to invest so clearly a very. controversial project but whilst until now we've only seen angry words exchanged or punitive foreign policy tools like sanctions rap but this latest hive of activity in the waters seems to say that the hostility and the pressure has been taken up and not but potentially very dangerous consequences. for the

infamous hitler balcony in vienna may soon be open to the public and allowing visitors to trade in the furious footsteps needless to say the move by the house of austrian history has divided opinion on the balcony was host to hitler's notorious speech on march 5938 in which he announced the annex ation of austria into the 3rd reich it was met with cheers and jubilation by around 200000 austrians on held in plots the balcony has since become one of austria's most prominent symbols of its not see past the director of the museum said giving the public access would strengthen the country's collective historic memory but american has really historian frames or of thinks its story should remain firmly shut the fact that the austrian population came out in huge numbers to greet the fear. is

part of the crowd still attempt to leave things behind. these are the kind of things that must be remembered and i have to say that in austria the situation has improved in recent years and there's more sensitivity to the issues of the holocaust so i think it's a very good reminder for the people in austria who quite frankly have had far more difficulty in facing their peers the people in germany for example. in the nazi setup over 40000 cattle and concentration camps for the jewish population during the 2nd world war around 2 thirds of all jewish people in europe were killed in the holocaust efraim zuroff say spain significance of hitler's speech in vienna should not be underestimated but the best of my knowledge i don't think the administrative workers in the crowds in vienna are experts in history and perhaps they don't realize what an incredible impact hitler's appearance in vienna haves

and have that was another step on the way to a war. that that ultimately led to the deaths of millions millions of innocent people besides the 6000000 jews murdered during the holocaust you had millions of other people who lost their lives many of them in the eastern europe and this is all because of hitler's drive for leopard's realm and it was decision to that to dominate europe and to turn the peoples of eastern europe and slaves of its. more great programs get their start in moments here on r.t. discover what's showing where you are today after the shortest the breaks i mean i mean.

all of the information in the world when you put it together and process the final thing is li it adds up to 0 it adds up to nothing all the illusion of differentiation will be obliterated the illusion of making a profit will be obliterated because we're entering into a period of the singularity. 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. looking at the post because you know no rush for us though up most of us have got to school ways to cool things in your bios at the dock and. back home like americans suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. not the smug the real lybia losing show them one by else a store on 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 groups who were to prove you're new in the united. around great crowd. moulay a good few you're going to go through and now almost a 100 years later the history is repeating itself my great grandfather george time went through russia. probably the worst time to go anywhere why not me. when i come here. as an individual committed. a crime so used to be an international community a crime are trying to break in 20 years later when that individual is 40 are you still auditioning the person who committed the crime or is the person being punished for something that they were a completely different person at the time one doesn't expire one is

a person's actions no longer what we need to judge them for an everyday basis.
