european medicines agency countries to keep using the. sea despite launching a probe into new cases of red blood clots potentially linked to the job also ahead for you. this. i know that every stage of this epidemic we might say that we could have we made mistakes true. failures in the handling of the pandemic by the french president the country.

fears of exodus and the poll reveals one in 4 health workers are more likely to quit. but we speak to one. side much. benefit of the government to help. millions dead in the origin of the coronavirus. a long awaited report from leaves many questions still. your news around the clock welcome to the program here with. the european medicines agency has thrown its support behind the. vaccine despite fears of

a rare blood clots the regulator is launching yet another investigation into this issue but insists countries should keep using the injection. 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 the time that the benefits of the after turning back in preventing codeine change with a. risk of hospitalized patients and 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 there are now if 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 this 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 comes through in the standing committee for vaccination published near the 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 ester seneca curve in $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.'s. progress really the blocks vaccine rollout has been heavily criticized for being sluggish and this is mainly due to their fact 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 vaccine 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 now this is brussels also receives criticism from 5 is which is blames the e.u. stringent export controls for delaying covert vaccine efforts now pfizer 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 that 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 alter 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'll 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. old german left party politician

martin doul believes the vaccine rollout in europe has been politicized ultimately with the expense of people's health. we look at what is going on in them all and i think we need every work seeing which is. possible to know to use and which is. secure so when we see that as true as in there as a lot of doubts not so we should take the alternatives and i think. 'd short of us not to evaluate and then to will 'd accept the whole of a vehicle that scenes which i'm sure were unsafe to be used i think the population is very insecure at the moment i think and danny there should be a lot more folds of nationalism and confidence in between different problem when you start in a shop be the politics internationally in favor of the people who end up the head

of the people and of the governments our response it will be no 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 while the french president has admitted making mistakes at every stage of the pandemic in a televised address and on your back ron also announced a 3rd nation wide lockdown as covert cases saw intensive care beds fill up and the country's death toll me as 100000 and i didn't stop opposition m.p.'s though claiming he's acting like a monarch micron's said the situation left him no choice. just think a sec it up the city did i know that every stage of this epidemic we might say to ourselves that we could have done better that we made mistakes who will 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 lockdown measures will be extended nationwide from saturday that will see a nightly curfew beginning at beginning at 7 pm and travel between that region's banned schools will be closed for at least 3 weeks with additional police patrols to ensure no more than 6 people gather at once. well micron's move is a u. turn on his previous decision not to lock down in january he was criticised at the time by scientists on the hospital management. 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 reporting from youngest ever

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 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 growing as if he wouldn't be declared that he has become an epidemiologist despite not having a scientific background these claims over. seas on health issues have also

rubbed experts are the wrong way. because you don't let mr mccollum 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 micron who talks about epidemiology just like we talk about politics while we talk about sculpture or about music but they're not necessarily sculpture artists. for musicians. meanwhile in the u.k. there are fears of a nursing exodus let's offer a survey revealed n.h.s. staff are now more likely to quit their job than in previous us exhaustion from the pandemic was cited as the over riding reason now according to the poll one in 4 n.h.s. workers are more inclined to leave than during the past 12 months almost 30 percent of them i know this is a midwives to occupations already facing major shortages and 70 percent said

a pay rise is a decisive factor all those working for free student nurses say they're struggling to make ends meet and $1.00 of them gave us her reaction to the surveys findings it doesn't surprise me it's what we've had to use it needs increased. and not the cost of living has gone up the wages have increased the ice 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 who i'm british health authorities have promised to provide the n.h.s. with an extra 29000000000 pounds in the us we spoke to says that money isn't making any difference when it comes to overall employment. we get the 5000 pound girl and some people get a 2000 pound grant depending if it were children or what feels like i mean tape in

reality is until in the i should if that the increase in childcare costs you know the increase in council tax increase in fuel into placement in my 1st year i think it's a defeat by twice. and that should say the nest states that were actually were tightness is at the trade bank they couldn't believe that is a should i go into this position because i have a rabbi they are 2 children and at the time they were 5 required little when it was quite a full time child care and the other one it just started sco the funds come for you all to have already signed up for the course of their or you potential if you leave the coals and it does add to the mental so if the the sorry sorry. or the u.k.'s sports minister is being a mom who would online off the suggesting people should avoid hugging to save lives people took issue with the way he described hugs as odd behavior.

despite the temptation pleas and risk. by actually hunting and risk the spread of the disease d.c. somebody. made me call him. away. 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 odd way strange choice of words to describe family members hugging one another. in other words if you see someone behaving like a human being and then call them out on it. can he call out his many call eeks who

have been found guilty of various actions ready ready. the u.s. is still hoping to secure the extradition of from the u.k. of julian despite a london court ruling in january that the wiki leaks founder should not be sent stateside as he'd be put in isolation and would be at risk of suicide but america's state department insists both countries are observing human rights law and their handling of the case. and you. know national human rights standards

assigned was arrested in london and 2019 after spending 7 years holed up in the ecuadorian embassy is wanted in the u.s. on 17 charges of espionage over the release of thousands of classified files a decade ago. those latest remarks on the assailants case came right after the release of the u.s. state department's 45th annual report on human rights practices worldwide the document singles out china iran venezuela turkey and russia accusing all of them of violating civil liberties or russia's foreign ministry head back accusing washington off hypocrisy we've got a reaction to the story from former cia officer robert often what we have here now is a situation where julian is surprised of any rights the main the main reason being that if they get him and put him in prison for the rest of us late no one no one

will try to expose us war crimes show the empire's war crimes there julian it was slander it was suresh it was torture and now god knows what you don't have to rely on me for that there is a un report true for torture and you'll smell so i looked into it so i hope he is able to escape the ultimate penalty but it judging from people who have seen him most recently he has already been written. ruined by by the the treatment that he has been subjected to i do have hope that julian will will be able to persist and finally find a new life with his partner and his 2 little boys who are playing away waiting for him to come home are still to come here on the program an audience or national a cryptic tweet from the u.s. to pop up in charge of the country's nuclear arsenal course a quietist will be probing that story and others after the break.

seem wrong. to stamp out. and engage. the trail. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. all of the information in the world when you put it together and prosecute simultaneously. 0 it adds up to nothing all deal luzhin of differentiation will be obliterated the illusion of making

a profit will be obliterated because we're entering into a period called the singularity. join us today for the program when i see an april fool's joke announcing a pop up festival in belgium has ended and police charging on horseback and using water cannon they were forced to move in to disperse a large crowd of would be revelers for breaking lockdown rules now around 2000 people turned out for the event in a central park in brussels a crowd started throwing bottles and other projectiles at police after being told to go home. for the made up concert was posted on facebook last month prosecutors

it has now launched an investigation as to who was behind it. and the u.s. government has no bigger responsibility than guarding the nuclear launch codes so to reassure americans they're in safe hands so he has been keeping them updated via twitter. if it takes us strategic command 30 minutes to recognize a missed tweet how long before they recognize we're under attack. i'm pretty sure your strategic command just launched all the news. l.o.l. maybe it was

a sacred character not so secret message to foreign nation which is who every type that was trying to. look like they kept walked on their keyboards. if this is the level of security what other forms of laxness might be exhibited somewhere along the way we're becoming so lax we're losing our minds there's also this idea that all children are at home now this is the time of covais don't you understand children are at home earlier misadventure it's bound to happen. over when everything i do something good is really happened do you mean to tell me that that something like this was

left open that. that that it isn't that i worry that much at home. a long awaited w.h.o. report on the origins of covert 19 has faced sharp criticism worldwide some countries say the investigation wasn't extensive enough as many questions still remain unsettled the bodies of director general himself called for further studies after the report was published we got a firsthand account of the w.h.s. mission to woo han 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 will take and how it will end but it should be done that's for

sure. it will go well 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. yeah 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 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 celebratory 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 isn't a constant scrutiny of competence international organizations building from that with their 4 can't say that's a lovely might have been because. 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 rollout of the sport nick the vaccine at the russian direct investment fund which

is overseeing production has struck a deal to make 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. those upcoming stocks will be enough to vaccinate 50000000 people as each person needs 2 doses of 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 supporting wii has been licensed in almost 60 countries and china affair specialist a victor gala things moscow and beijing have plenty to gain from working together on vaccines. 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 ng vaccines so if we use the formula 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 charlie israel and syria oranges and i hope the chinese people will have a choice if they want to use one or 2 or 3 chinese vaccines they will be able to do that if they prefer those who make vaccines they were have a choice to be made by themselves. the infamous balcony in vienna may soon be open to the public allowing visitors to trade in the furors footsteps it's been inaccessible to people since the 2nd world war needless to say the move by the house of austria history has divided opinion of the balcony

was host to hitler's notorious speech on march the 15th $938.00 in which he announced the annexation of austria into the 3rd reich it was met with cheers and jubilation veyron 200000 austrians watching on the balcony has since become one of australia's most prominent symbols of the nazi past the director of the museum said giving the public access would strengthen the country's collective historical memory but american israeli historian efraim zuroff thinks his door was should remain firmly closed the fact that the austrian population came out in huge numbers to greet the fear is part of the trouble it's an attempt to leave things behind and these are the kind of things that must be remembered and i have to say that. 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 or than artie's created more than $40000.00 ghettos in 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 says the significance of hitler's speech in vienna should not be underestimated. but the best of my knowledge i don't think the administrative work is in the palace in vienna experts in history and perhaps they don't realize what an incredible impact hitler's appearance in vienna hands and how 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 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 into slaves of its might as art international law from moscow nearly half past 2 in the morning have appreciate you spending a time with us we're back in about half an hour with more of your well quite nice to. the pandemic no certainly no borders into nationalities. has emerged. world peace to. people.

coming. to sleep. we can do better we should be. everyone is contributing to each of our own way but we also know that this crisis go on forever the challenge is creating the response has been massive so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. historically speaking in the cold war was a great ideological confrontation western liberalism versus soviet communism according to joe biden the great political struggle of our time is democracy versus autocracy. we are in another great ideological struggle but there is a difference the west particularly the united states is the only ideological.
