to go anywhere. when i come here. to keep. to the. truth. of the. president as. good. as. many.

long awaited. many questions. the european medicines agency has thrown its support behind the. scene despite.

the regulator is launching get another investigation into the issue countries 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 the time that the benefits of the after turning back in preventing codeine change with it. hospitalized patients and their outweigh the risks 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 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 has cancer can or. soon the standing committee for vaccination published near a commendation 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 depend demick 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 well it's just another setback in the e.u.'s. progress really the blocks of vaccine rollout has been heavily criticised for being sluggish and this is mainly due to their facts that they just don't have 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 now this is brussels also receives criticism from pfizer which is blames the e.u. stringent export controls for delaying covert vaccine that's 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 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 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 german left party politician martin believes the vaccine rollout in europe has been politicized ultimately at

the expense of people's health. we look at what is going on with 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 lots so we should take the alternatives and i think. sure fast enough to evaluate and then to will accept all the really and all of a google that scenes which i was sure were unsafe to be used i think the population is very insecure at the moment and danny there should be a lot more bolts of nationalism and confidence between different qualities in a shop be the politics internationally in favor of the people and of the health of the people and if the governments are responsible. no you also good sense which are

there should be measures in here leisure to 'd secure or else of people instead of to is to secure the profits of the industry. the french president has admitted making mistakes at every stage of the pandemic in a televised address emanuel macron also announced a 3rd nation wide lockdown as covert cases saw intensive care beds fill up and the country's death toll now as 100000 that didn't stop opposition m.p.'s there claiming he's acting like a monarch said the situation left him no choice. this if he 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 listen is true we all need to make an additional effort over the coming months this is what i ask of us collectively tonight. well the new lockdown measures will be extended nationwide

from saturday that will see a nightly curfew became thing at 7 pm and travel between regions banned schools to 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 and the hospital management. i say to the government do it now but do it now do it for a shorter time but do it to concede there we were 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 predicts it 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 or public sector even repaying from season youngest of

a president i mean it's a pretty impressive resume and people traded in selfless and learning who 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 aids if he wouldn't be declared that he has become an epidemiologist despite not having a scientific background in these claims over. seas on health issues have also rubbed experts the wrong way. because mr mccauley 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 while we talk about sculpture or about music but they're not necessarily sculpture artists or musicians. meanwhile in the u.k. there are fears of a nursing exodus that's after a survey revealed n.h.s. staffan are more likely than ever to quit their jobs 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 previous 12 months almost 30 percent of them on notices on midwives to occupations already facing major shortages and a 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 one of them gave 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 price so much stress on the nurses that made wives everyone involved in that mission 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 may to help and increase the way you know that to get a good environment for everyone and the british health authorities have promised to provide the n.h.s. with an extra 29000000000 pounds but the nurse we just spoke to says that money is not going where it needs to. we get the 5000 pounds and some people get 1000 pound grant depending if it were children or what feels like i'm in shape but 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 ok to fade back twice. and that should aid in the states that were actually retired this is at the bank they couldn't believe that they should i go into this position because i have a rabbi they are 2 children and that's why my wife required it 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 she leaves the coals and it does add to the mental some of the that sorry sorry. the u.k. sports minister is being lampooned online after suggesting people should avoid hugging to save lives while some took the issue the way he described hugs enough for all the peculiar amount he described hugs as odd behavior.

despite the temptation pleas and risk. by actually holding one and risk the spread of the disease the see somebody. and maybe call them out in a respectful way. 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 sane individual 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 then call them out on it. can he call out his many call eeks who have been found guilty of various actions.

'd 'd for the past the hour here in moscow the us is still hoping to secure the extradition from the u.k. of julian assange that's despite a london court ruling in january that the wiki leaks founder should not be sent stateside as he would be put in isolation and would be at risk of suicide but america's state department insists both countries are observing human rights law in their handling of the case. thank you kate 3. were you right and you. will be no national human rights standards assigned was arrested in london in 2019 after spending 7 years holed up

inside the ecuadorian embassy he's wanted in the u.s. on 17 charges of espionage over the release of thousands of classified files a decade ago now those latest remarks on the 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 has hit back accusing washington of hypocrisy so we got reaction to the story from former cia officer brian mcgough and. 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 life no one no one will try to expose us war crimes so the empire's war crimes there julian it was

slander it was arrest it was torture and now god knows what you don't have to rely on me for that there's a un report to 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 i've seen and most recently he has already been in. there and 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 pine away waiting for him to come home are still to come here on the program on t.v. a cryptic tweet from the u.s. state of pop and that in charge of the country's nuclear arsenal it does cause quite a stir will be probing that story after the break. anyone

else seems wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just to become educated and in gains from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. as an individual community crime so nice to new generations major crime 20. 2 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 mommy need to judge them for us and everyday basis. good to have you with us today for the program of the migrant crisis on the southern us border has been dominating the news of late but now it's making even more headlines over the terminology being used democratic representative alexandria across the aisle cortez has condemned it labeling the situation at the border. the congresswoman claims that's a kin to pushing white supremacist. this is not a search and we are not be in feeding which by the way is a white supremacist idea the situation on the border has become

a major challenge for the new biden administration last month alone the number of family members taken into u.s. customs and border protection in custody reached almost 50000 that's put a major strain on efforts to house them the government has been heavily criticized for placing people including many children in quote jail like facilities well joining me now live is the executive director of on the hyphenated america christopher harris joining us here on our today thanks so much for sharing a time with us can we just simply define thomas just for a moment here do you think that so cannot be labeled as a world of white supremacy. you know a little article a few years back talking about the left's propensity to try to control the language and they redefine things and so any type a word like serves if it doesn't fit for them they're going to read they're going to find some way to turn it into something that has to do with the idea of the politics and use it is going to use the age will term state races anything and

everything has races is either races or massage and there's the it gets it's bigoted it's whatever like that anything that will paint them into a corner when you're trying to nail them down on facts and terms they'll simply slide out of it by yelling that it's racist or bigot or home of or her transphobia or any other type of fulvia that they can try to put on anything so you have the terms are ridiculous that she's trying to use and i saw some where she talked about it being a concentration camp well i'm sorry she talked about these migrant facilities being concentration camps when it was the troubled ministry but now what you know people like her said all we need to give these people their dignity we can't call it says things as a concentration camp which by the way as someone who's a born and raised military brat who grew up in germany in the nate 180 s. during the cold war i visited in actual concentration camp twice i've been to doc out twice i've seen the ovens i've seen the the grass where they lined up jewish

people and shot them and i've seen the were they performed all the experiments on i've seen what concentration camps looked like and that's the kind of network says what was happening was not a concentration camp but what's happening now is a pure travesty because the baidu ministration has encouraged people to come when there is no way for them to be provided for in the middle of the spinning $86000000.00 of taxpayer dollars to put illegal aliens which is the proper term to put them into hotels american taxpayers are paying for these people to come and go into hotels. united states and american taxpayers also may be footing the bill for this offer was the biden ministration in no uncertain terms essentially inviting people to come up come to america you'll be housed and fed and you'll have a lovely life ahead of you let's bring it back for a moment though about this issue you know. talking about we can call this a surge is now

a word of white supremacy what about all those who have maybe just why read about the impact of the migrants will have on say jobs so all the covert pandemic they also white supremacists now. well you know when they are trying to talk about code and how we need to have her have a real lockdown or we're basically a year out from when covert 1st lawsuits already oh we're going to do a 2 weeks right of everybody to stays home for 2 weeks that will help to still the flow and everybody know what will it was a term that use i can't recall now but long story short they said if everybody stays home in a flat in a curve that's what it was it was going to flatten the curve i wonder if we talk about flattening the curve now of illegal immigration is that a racist term no i mean what is it now because they're going to keep changing the rules it's like shadow boxing if it's trying to box a puff of smoke they keep moving because there's nothing solid about what they stand for so here's the thing we with one hyphenated america we believe that

america is great we believe that america is great because it's not a nation of immigrants it's a nation of citizens from people from all over the world we welcome people who want to come to the united states of america through the front door after they knock on the door and ask for permission to come in we welcome them to come in go through the process and become u.s. citizens i'll be glad to call you my fellow americans regardless of your ethnicity or whatever nations you happen to come from islam as you come through the front door but crystal you know history what about the situation there you know if you're questioning that mainstream narrative for example i mean are we at risk of anything you know if it's not falling into line with the liberal agenda then then then a lot of people are going to be branded a white supremacist all just racist or a bigot it is at the position where in these days now it's not these days it's the way it's always been i said on fox and friends one time that anyone with an r. after the name is automatically labeled as

a racist right i mean that's what the left has decided to do is to take the r. and change it from republican they try to label us as races but the reality is we're actually the ones who are pro liberty we're the ones who don't care as much about the. someone skin we're the ones who are against identity politics what the left is trying to do with the lame stream or something like all the mainstream media are trying to do is they're trying to bring in a flow of people trying to agitate them and make them a special protected class but they're not coming here to become americans the messes that they were given is a come here and you can get free stuff once again america is a big enough country that we can take a large flow of people right we're not sure on space but the problem is you cannot have an open border and free stuff post 2 things cannot coincide it's going to break everything if you continue to head it we want people to come in once again come through the front door come go through the process and what they want to try

to do is try to portray the try to retrieve these a little aliens as so downtrodden but i've seen so many images of people who have cell phones you know when i was broke i couldn't afford my cell phone bill i don't want to stand how somebody can traverse through the desert of mexico and guatemala where roommate might be coming from for a month or 2 and still have a working cell phone how does that happen who's paying for that probably us that money is probably being sent out from the i mean we just had with the stimulus bill they're trying to push $2.00 trillion dollars down as though $600000000.00 doses and $600000000000.00 of it is all that went to american taxpayers now to try to push an infrastructure bill this one another $2.00 or whatever trillion dollars and somewhere a neighborhood of a quarter of it actually is going to go towards infrastructure where is the rest of that money going out pretty certain that it's going to places like trying to help bring more immigrants in or actually see the illegal aliens because immigration is a process it's a legal process and one of the reasons why they don't want tougher election laws

because they want more illegal aliens coming in and being go to do mail in ballots or walk illegally so that they can stack the ballot by. yes that's what they're trying to do if you're going to see your races now 1st of all you'll see i mean it's just going to say i was just going to sort of interrupt christopher we've been hearing this now for many many months you say it's been like this forever but certainly in the past couple of years i mean i've never seen in this state ever so many people being branded either a white supremacist or a racist or a bigot is just it's such a strange state of affairs where now christopher harris the executive director of the hyphenated america thank you very much for your time we appreciate your outlook here on r.t. thank you thank you. a long awaited report on the origins of covert 1000 has faced shop criticism worldwide and some countries say the investigation wasn't extensive enough as many questions still remain

unanswered the bodies of director general himself called for further studies off the report was published and we quote a 1st hand account of the w.h.s. mission to woo han from a russian member of the team. which will cause a mission started off into phase one why was it called that it was clear from the beginning nobody expected us to find all the questions right away in fact it was prepared to rework 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. we since 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 suspect in 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 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. on what would have been the points of pressurising as we hardly liaise with officials we were largely in touch with scientists. for the us government there's no bigger responsibility than guarding the nuclear launch codes so to reassure americans they're in safe hands so to come on has been keeping them updated if you twitter. and.

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. and oh oh maybe it was a secret code or not so secret messages to foreign nation media which is who every time that was trying to. look like they kept walked in their keyboards. you know programmer tons and half an hour.
