3 d. model of the black hole. that lines this friday test and trace flock britain's 37000000000 pound tracing system shows limited effectiveness given operation those are the findings published in one of the u.k.'s major medical journals. where french doctors point the finger of president they say is a critical shortfall in vaccines including for medical staff on the front line having to deal with overwhelming case like. this the government is to blame for the fact that we have to work incredibly slowly but at the same time in a completely gruelling regime simply because of a lack of equipment. 11000 accounts of sexual harassment by

u.k. pupils shine a spotlight on the abuse students face in schools they include testimonies from children as young as 9. good morning great to have you with us this is r.t. international. the surtees 7000000000 pound test and trace system that u.k. prime minister boris johnson was hailed as world beating has shown limited effectiveness that's the finding of a major study published in the british medical journal it says that only 50 percent of british people can actually identify symptoms just one in 5 willing to take a test. stash he explains. well beating and world leading that's what the u.k. is testing try to stem was supposed to be is that how it looks though almost a year on the results indicate that about half of people know the symptoms of

covert 19 and the difference to each stage of tests trace an isolate is low but improving slowly and if you'd still think that everything's fine only one in 5 people with symptoms actually request a test the groundbreaking scheme was designed to identify positive case and alert possible others but in reality more than a year since the pandemic started the government has apparently failed to teach people how to identify cope with symptoms and if it's not for lack of spending the government forked out $37000000000.00 pounds on track and trace but it's worth it to take the pressure off the n.h.s. right wrong turns out the failures of the scheme have arguably pushed those on the front line to work even harder and the facts they get for it and one percent pay rise which actually due to inflation turns out to be a pay cut rather than putting money into the public n.h.s. and local councils to be run by public services they decided to invest billions in a largely privatized outsource system so you have

a hugely expensive white elephant which failed to prevent the 2nd wave of the pandemic and they have the cheek to call the test and. the n.h.s. tests and faces them but it's not run by the n.h.s. so it's very deceptive it's very wasteful and fundamentally is corrupt and you think the government would just admit it's mistake a multi-billion pound mistake but instead since last may n.h.s. testing traces contacted 3200000 people who tested positive and another 6400000 of their contacts behind these numbers are countless lives saved and the latest owen esta to sticks show that when people are asked to self isolate the overwhelming majority do so well the tests and try stuff being paid a grand a day and highest paid 6 and a half. you'd hope the isolation method would be better stressed $37000000000.00 pounds is its total cost and gets a lot of money but could all be justifiable if it worked only it didn't as there is

no evidence the scale made a blind bit of difference to prevent the 2nd lock down you know this one for that matter that was in friends of venting their frustration at the country sluggish vaccination rollout as the nation and as its 3rd lockdown they warn the lack of available doses is now critical as ever more seriously ill curvy patients are admitted to already overwhelmed hospitals presence among micron however says that the rollout is at full throttle. we are putting all means to vaccinate vaccinate vaccinate without response without holidays saturdays and sundays just like weekdays. the general practitioners like myself are not currently receiving vaccines for 2 weeks now we've not had any vaccines available for injection we've been working for 9 months without stop and without vacation 7 days a week as mr macro says due to the inability to complete the work on time due to a lack of vaccines we believe the government is to blame for the fact that we have

to work incredibly slowly but at the same time in a completely grueling regime simply because of a lack of equipment the new wave of code will lead to overcrowding in hospitals we already know this will happen we are already deciding which patients get treatment and which don't because about 60 percent of operations were canceled wednesday the french president promised to increase the number of intensive care beds to more than 10000 doctors though say it will come of the expense of non-coding patients another problem is lack of staff as intensive care requires additional special training and equipment. grant again says that these challenges could have been avoided if micron it acted earlier. imagine. emmanuel macron has woken up a year after the start of the crisis the year ago in march the need for a large number of hospital beds and beds in intensive care took us by surprise but after a year the number of beds has not increased there is however

a positive point unlike last year we do not need a large number of ventilators not because they were produced but because they're now used in a much later stage of the disease now it's enough to simply provide patients with enhanced oxygen therapy the problem however is that the appropriate technology has not been installed in our hospitals as a result of oxygen therapy sites is still limited responsibility for this rests entirely with the manual macron who endlessly delayed the adoption of measures even preventative measures such as supplying hospitals with oxygen cylinders and oxygen therapy devices necessary for treating patients. thousands of anonymous reports of sexual harassment by pupils in u.k. skills as shine a spotlight on the abuse faced by students around $100.00 schools have been named in the testimonies including private institutions more than $11000.00 accounts of sexual harassment in british schools were posted on the everyone's invited website

which is aimed at exposing rape culture in the united kingdom that figure has more than doubled in just the past 2 days the majority of testimonies detail the harassment of girls and included posts from children as young as 9 meanwhile a recent survey by charity plan international u.k. reveals 58 percent of girls aged $14.00 to $21.00 have been publicly harassed at school found that girls experience unwanted sexual comments as well as being grabbed and 3 quarters of girls said that schools should support those who have experienced public sexual harassment. the u.k. government launched an emergency review and a hotline to support victims of sexual abuse in schools the british education secretary said that he's committed to ensuring victims feel supported but katie russell the national spokesperson for rape crisis england and wales says that this is by no means a new problem the statistics aren't particularly surprising to us we know

that sexual violence and abuse and sexist bullying and sexual harassment are far more widespread in the general population then many people appreciate but also ringback there was a women inequality select committee report into precisely this issue sexist bullying sexual harassment and sexual violence in schools just a few years ago and made a series of recommendations which the government has largely ignored and failed to act upon so this is not a new phenomenon and really the question is why more hasn't been done by government to tackle this situation sooner any action of course is welcome that these feel very much like sort of kneejerk responses to a situation that as a say you know there's not been are known about. facebook a scupper donald trump service to get around his ban of the x. president removed an interview with him posted by his daughter in law firms also

been banned from youtube and his favorite online loudspeaker twitter on the scale of morgan looks now concerns that social media giants have become the new thought police. big tech censorship just keeps coming the latest is an interview from former u.s. president donald trump getting scrubbed from facebook in line with the bill quip placed on donald trump's facebook an instagram account says a content posted in the voice of donald trump will be removed and result in additional limitations on the account donald trump is not the president anymore he was sunning himself in florida so why exactly is it so dangerous for people to hear his interpretation of world events and just like that we are one step closer to wilson 1984 wow joe biden keeps repeating that big tech are his allies in his efforts to create a world where everyone has freedom of speech in the united states is spreading human rights across the planet but some are saying that a social media purge of

a former president sets a dangerous precedent it is an issue that we have got to be thinking about because of anybody who thinks. yesterday it was donald trump who was banned and tomorrow could be somebody else who has a different very different point of view so i don't like giving that much power to a handful of high tech people but the devil is obviously in the details and it's something we're going to think long and hard on and that is how you preserve 1st amendment rights without moving this country into a big lie a mentality and conspiracy theory all kinds of pro trump voices have been purged from social media you've got the removal of retired general michael flynn sidney power and 2008 vice presidential candidate of the libertarian party and commentator wayne allen root we've also seen big tech declare certain news stories to be off limits they have shut down discussion of the biden family and their shady business

dealings they have actually scrub search results to remove conservative media outlets but yet all kinds of inappropriate content remains on social media 40 percent of americans have faced online harassment or hate. california wants to hold big tech accountable for what they are not censoring while they're too busy playing politics instead californians are becoming increasingly alarmed about the role of social media in promoting hate disinflation conspiracy theories and extreme political polarization trost of social media has dropped to a low of 35 percent and it's not surprising either how social media originated with the idea being it would be a place for all kinds of people to be free to speak up and explore the marketplace of ideas instead it's turned into a place for playing politics and pushing some people's agenda while suppressing others they are afraid of because the president felt were doing great by the american people who plans to set president shop up to get him out the way so he

won't be able to run for office the office again because you know if you did run for office again that he will win we need to look back at the 1st amendment when it comes to the media because we have seen how the. coming from big tech and the media these people have too much control they have became filter rich and they really don't care about mappin you know your opinion so if government want to reign in big taken against they can do it tomorrow if they wanted to do that the republican party democrat party is the same on big tex democrats and republicans on the same boat it takes to clean sober slapper say the whole thing is a political gain. before me us presidents not the only one who's been purged by social media giants actress and activist rose mcgowan chess around experience of being ousted by big tech. where you go pray to a little pretty much speech going against your from me i don't understand why you support evil characters' and want to block.

i was just spend it by twitter for posting an internet photo of bill clinton and getting massaged by and no woman flagged it for indeed i was just trying to drive the point home about a disgusting human doing disgusting things i know twitter is trying to silence me and i know a lot of the powerful democrats are behind it they deactivated my own entirely 4 days after i helped out harvey weinstein my attacker in the new york times exposé 'd 4 years ago there was a worldwide limited boycott where for 24 hour protests until the reinstated they did and they have but i have been shadow bands ever since i am tired of having

these men's feet on my neck i am tired of having to hand over my mouth you guys are old pros to be tracked for rose right the little bros and you're supposed to be the freedom to speak the rap. and that is a lot. still to come for you this hour the u.s. state department pledges its commitment to human rights in the case of julian a song as it pushes on with his bid to secure his extradition on the top of this break. anyone else seems wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just to get educated and gain treatment equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. as an individual community a crime so nice to be an international community a crime. even 20 years later when that individual is 40 are you still punishing 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 needs an expired one is a person's actions no longer mommy need to judge them for us and everyday basis.

welcome back the united states is still hoping to secure the extradition from the united kingdom of julian assange that's despite a london court ruling in january that the wiki leaks founder should not be said stateside to be put in isolation and would be at risk of suicide in america state department says both countries are observing human rights law in their handling of the case. with human rights standards. muslins was arrested in london in 2019 after spending 7 years holed up in the ecuadorian embassy he's wanted in the u.s. and 17 charges of espionage over the release of thousands of classified files a decade ago this latest remarks on the a stance case came right after the release of the u.s. state department's 45th annual report on human rights practices will wide the documents in the south china iran venezuela turkey and russia accusing them of

violating civil liberties russia's foreign ministry hit back accusing washington of hypocrisy we've got reaction to the story from former cia officer ray mcgovern well we have here now is a situation where julian is surprisingly very rates 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 what crime surely empires war crimes there julian it was slander it was a rush it was shorter and now god knows what you don't have to rely on me for that there is a un rapporteur for torture you'll smell so who looked into it so i hope he he is able to escape the ultimate penalty but it judging from people who have seen him most recently he has already been in. really ruined by by that 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 in this to a little boy who play in a way waiting for him to come home. beijing is lashed out at washington after a u.s. ambassador made his 1st official visit to taiwan in more than 40 years china considers the island to be part of his territory and it's often been a point of contention in international relations but this isn't the time the 1st time that washington has stepped on china's toes in the region the quadrilateral security dialogue has recently been reestablished with some of labeled the asian nato simon right as more. rise of china and subsequent tantrum in the west is heading the way these things always do the great powers and some not so great ones are getting together and holding hands and forming alliances so anything really bad happens we can all suffer together in the blue corner we have the cord for the 1st

time we're convene this group leader yet that meeting was a few weeks ago a meeting of the quadrilateral security guard or quad for short because no one can remember the real name who comes out with those names anyway it's made up of the united states india japan and australia some might suggest they're more clues than quads the aim of the gang is a free and open indo-pacific that was the promise after the 1st summit between the leaders of the us india japan and australia so there really are the words is to keep china in its place brilliantly now every using the word china i show you on me you will take a look at their p.r. video often in a few words as we go. in the fish to be china free and open it close it and help the unless you china. to be china i think straight course power china committed to addressing the world defining challenge the rise of

china moment of crisis something. with renewed for a bit to be china could it take in china. that the threat of climate change and combat the threat of china or saving the pain of watching you basically goes on like that some of called the quad the asian nato we say 50 denied because it is not a minute to your lines for the 1st time canada is participating in a joint exercise in the pacific ocean with the nations to comprise the one. definitely not a military alliance as ever though bear self-interest is likely to be the main enemy of this group they 1st got together back in 2004 to respond to the book day tsunami when they tried to go steady off towards. make it all a bit more official they realized it wasn't going to work because none of them really wanted to annoy china. now almost 15 years after they gave up on the cord in the 1st place they're back and they realize they do want to annoy china now because the us is scared of being used as the global bully indios just have

a border clash with china literally with sticks and australia is facing economic sanctions from beijing so yeah return of the quad we know that our allies have complex relationships with china that always align perfectly enter key u.s. ally south korea which is doing all it can to stay out of the cord after realizing that while it relies on the us for its security it does most of its shopping in china and australia doesn't seem to have noticed it in the same position hence those sanctions from beijing china has called the quad an excuse to form clique's and openly incite discord between regional countries with that in mind is building is own clique to incite discord your reaction to china making a big push into the mid east with a new 25 year deal with china and iran that one is really struggling to see the ors cues and she so yes china and iran have signed a 25 year cooperation deal among other things beijing will be buying iranian oil in

defiance of u.s. sanctions i mean just like the quarter never says the c word china and iran didn't exactly say at the signing but this is one big middle finger aimed squarely at washington the big geo political beasts then are picking their teams and taking sides into why i am sure. for the us government has no bigger responsibility the guarding the nuclear launch codes to reassure americans they're in safe hands strategic commands been keeping them updated via twitter. but. if it takes us to teach a 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 the news. l.o.l. maybe it was a secret code or not so secret message for a nation leader who every type that was trying. kept walked mbeki but. 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. oh when everything i do something

good has really happened do you mean to tell me that that something like this was left open that. it isn't that i worry that much at home. russia is expanding think global rollout of its sputnik vaccine 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 stops will be enough to vaccinate 50000000 people as each person needs 2 doses of russian jabbers not

yet been approved for use in china but assuming that does happen the chinese manufacturer will distribute it domestically as well as abroad but he has been licensed in almost 60 countries china for specially gatherings moscow and beijing a plenty to gain from working together on back since. for china to help russia to produce the a vaccine and to introduce that to 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 formula produced by the russian side or the production of a vaccine physically in china it will be a win week situation i do not see any reason why this that scene should not be approved of by the chinese rowland's or authorities 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 the vaccine they were have a choice to be made by themselves. this brings news has just come in a passenger train has reportedly dean railed in eastern taiwan killing at least 40 people and injuring more than 60 others your thirty's are reported as saying many more a 5th to be dead the express train is one of the fastest in operation in tehran taiwan it typically travels at around 130 kilometers an hour it's believed to be carrying around $350.00 passengers at the time of the crash these are the latest pictures that we're getting from the scene local news crews been trying to get closer to the scene of the incident you can see some of the passengers who are reported to have been just walking out of the train of their own volition with their belongings many can see on the roof there and climbing down however just been reported there are
