well i learned this friday a tested trace flaw britain's 37000000000 pound code tracing system shows limited effectiveness almost here in operation as the findings published in one of the u.k.'s major medical journals. but doctors found their fury a president drawn for failing to deliver on his promise to provide vaccines for all this frontline that its battle overwhelming cope with case loads. 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 gruelling regime simply because of a lack of equipment. with levon 1000 accounts of sexual harassment by u.k. pupils shine a spotlight on the abuse students face in schools activists say this is by no means a new problem and the government has done little to tackle.

that very good morning to you and thanks for joining us here on r.t. international. we begin in eastern taiwan where a passenger train has derailed reportedly killing at least 40 people more than 60 others have been injured the authorities say that many more are feared dead dozens more people are also believed to be still trapped inside the wreckage express train was carrying more than $350.00 passengers at the time of the crash and we can show you the latest pitches that have been coming in this is the scene just inside the tunnel where it's been reported by the railway police that at least 6 carriages were inside the tunnel at the moment of impact the. second and 3rd carriages from

the front said to be extensively damaged of course then affecting the carriages just behind and you can see that the kind of more lightly damage carriages there were some of the people have been able to climb through windows they were reported to have been passengers breaking windows climbing along the roof of the train and then being a school to safety as you can see there at this point of course the rescue operation is still ongoing the emergency service is having great difficulty getting access to the very 1st few carriages deep inside the tunnel. and we will keep you updated on this story of course as the afternoon continues now moving on to other news the 37000000000 pound tested trace system u.k. prime minister boris johnson once hailed as being world beating a shown limited effectiveness that's the finding of a major study published in the british medical journal and also raises concerns

about how few british people are willing to take a covert test that he shot the edwards daschle has more. well beating and world leading that's what the u.k. is test and trade system was supposed to be is 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 and isolate is low but improving slowly and if you'd still think that everything's fine only one in 5 people with symptoms actually requests 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 covert symptoms and if it's not for lack of spending the government's 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 fundamentalist corrupt and you think the government would just admit its mistake a multi-billion pound mistake but instead since last may n.h.s. testing traces contacted 3 points 2000000 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 with tests and try stuff being paid a grand a day and highest paid 6 and a half. you'd hope dies their method would be better stressed $37000000000.00 pounds it's total cost and gets a lot of money but could all be justifiable if it worked only it didn't that there's no evidence the scale made a blind bit of difference to prevent the 2nd lock down nor this one for that matter . because in france are venting their frustration at present mark crohn's failure to deliver on his promise to provide vaccines for all as the nation enters a 3rd lockdown they warned the lack of available doses is now critical with more seriously ill patients being admitted to already overwhelmed hospitals but the president says the rollout is at full throttle when we talk to him when we are putting all means to vaccinate vaccinate vaccinate with our response without holidays saturdays and sundays just like weekdays to. 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 macron 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. on wednesday the french president promised to increase the number of intensive care beds to above 10000 doctors say though it will come at the expense of naam patients another problem is lack of stuff as intensive care requires additional special training and

equipment there trauma ground again says that these challenges could have been avoided if micrometer acted earlier. dominion mccloskey emanuel 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 are 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 are 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 shown of spotlight on the abuse faced by students around $100.00 schools have been named in the testimonies including private institutions or the $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 u.k. the figure has more than doubled in just the past 2 days majority of testimonies detail the houseman of girls and included posts from children as young as 9 in while a recent survey by charity plan international u.k. reveals 58 percent of girls aged $14.00 to $21.00 have been publicly at school found that girls experience and wanted sexual comments as well as being grabbed from quarters of girls that schools should support those who've experienced

public sexual harassment. the u.k. government launched an emergency review of a hotline to support victims of sexual abuse in schools the british education sector said that he's committed to ensuring victims feel supported katie russell the national spokesperson for rape crisis england and wales says this is by no means a new problem the statistics aren't particularly surprising to you as 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 there was a women inequality select committee report into precisely this issue sex is 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 this ban of the next president removed an interview with him posted by his daughter in law trumps also being banned from you tube and his favorite online learn speak a twitter or discover more but looks now at concerns that social media giants of 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 quit placed on donald trump's facebook an instagram account 1st 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 you

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 and 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 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 scrubbed 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 is 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 because. we do a great for the american people who plans to set president shop up to get him out of 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 cause we have seen how the. coming from big tech and the media these people have too much control they have became rich and they really don't care about mappin you know your opinion so if government want to rein in big take against they could 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 suburbs laugh or say the whole thing is

a political gain. for me this president's not the only one who's been pushed by social media johns actress and activist rose mcgowan chose her own experience of being ousted by big tech. what do you pray to a little pretty much speech going against your priorities i don't understand why you support evil jack dorsey and want to block. i was just spend it by twitter for posting an internet photo of bill clinton and getting mr starr's fire and no wonder they 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 the deactivated right sharon entirely 4

days after i helped out harvey weinstein my attacker in the new york times expose a 4 years ago there was a worldwide women's boycott where for 24 hour protests until they reinstated they did and they have but i have been shadowed band ever since i'm tired of having these men's feet on my neck i'm tired of having to hand over my mouth you guys are old pros to be tracked for rose right the little grows and you're supposed to be the freedom to speak the rap. and that is a life. so it's called the u.s. state department pledges to respect still in a song she's human rights if extradited but freedom of speech and because the system whistleblowers persecution is an attack on journalism on the other after the break.

anyone else seem wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just to get educated and in again training equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. as an individual committed a crime so nice to be an international community a crime. even 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 us and every day basis

. you know to stay still hoping to secure the extradition from the u.k. of julian assange that's despond 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 state department says both countries are reserving human rights law in their handling of the case. and you. know national human rights standards and science was arrested in london in 2019 after spending 7 years holed up in the

ecuadorian embassy he's wanted in america on 17 charges of espionage over the release of thousands of classified files a decade ago his latest remarks on the assigns case came right after the release of the u.s. state department's 45th annual report on human rights practices worldwide document single that china around venezuela turkey and russia accusing them of violating civil liberties versus foreign ministry though has hit back and accuse washington of the pa kristie we've got reaction to the story from former cia officer ray mcgovern well 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 put him in prison for the rest of us like no one no one will try to expose us what crimes are the empire's war crimes there julian it was slander it was a rush it was torture and now god knows what you don't have to rely on me for that

there is a un rapporteurs for torture and 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 and his 2 little boys who play in a way waiting for him to come home. for the u.s. government there's no bigger responsibility than guarding the new clear launch codes so to reassure americans that they're in safe hands strategic command has been keeping them up to date by twitter.

if it takes us to tease a c'mon 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. when everything i do something good is really happened do you mean to tell me that that that something like this was left open that. that that it isn't that i worry that much at home. beijing has 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 part of its territory that of them been a point of contention in international relations but this isn't the 1st time that washington has stepped on china's toes in the region quadrilateral security

dialogues recently been reestablished some of labeled the asian nato summit right has more. the 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 dialogue or 'd quote for short because no one can remember the real name who comes out with those names anyways 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 they're really mean are the words is to keep china in its place brilliantly now every using the word china i show you

one me you will take a look at their p.r. video often in a few words as we go. in the dish to be china free and open and close it and help the unless you china. to be china i think straight course power china committed to addressing the world's defining challenge the rise of china moment of crisis something. with renewed purpose to be china could it take in china. that the threat of climate change and combat the threat of china are saving the pain of watching it basically goes on like that some of called the quad the asian nato we say officially denied because it is not a minute to alliance for the 1st time canada is participating in a joint exercise in the pacific ocean with the nations decries 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 boxing day tsunami when they tried to go steady off towards. make it all a bit more fish or 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 court in the 1st place they're back and they realize they do want to know with 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 won't 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 will eyes on the u.s. 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 it's 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 oars cues and she so yes china and iran have signed a 25 year cooperation deal among other things beijing will be buying a rainy an oil in defiance of u.s. sanctions i mean just like the quad 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 geopolitical beast then are picking their teams and taking sides into why i am sure. russia is expanding the 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 a 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 very fitting creasing the scope of partnership with local producers to meet the rising demand for the russian vaccine for those upcoming stocks will be enough to vaccinate $50000000.00 people as each person requires 2 doses the russian chance has not yet been approved for use in china but assuming that that happens the chinese manufacturer will distribute it domestically as well as abroad of us putting veils been licensed in almost 60 countries under the 1st bush thing to galvanize 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 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 when we situation i do not see any reason why this vaccine should not be approved of by the chinese rowland's or 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. less a new search for this hour but before i go quick announcement about something quite literally out of this world this coming to wate because this month marks 60 years since yuri gagarin's momentous 1st manned journey into space and to mark the special occasion r.t. will be interviewing some of today's pioneers of space exploration so watch this

space. the bat. historically speaking in the cold war was a great ideological confrontation western liberalism versus soviet communism according to joe biden the great geo political struggle of our time is democracy versus autocracy for by we are in another great ideological struggle but there is a difference the west particularly the united states is the only ideological actor . problem drugs don't do is come from unscrupulous

dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we've seen the very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids invaded america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers all the governments of. the wall street frauds going all the way back to the twenty's they're not different they're repackaged branded and sold again it's the same why is it a bottle so the smack frog is just a variation on the dot com fraud which is a variation on the mortgage sub prime fraud to remove fraud the g.d.p.

would be it would be negative 20 percent. i folks next up on dennis miller plus we're going to talk to actor frank cinnaminson mega franchises. the captain america and also the purge both of those i think he was and also did a great cool little film i think he fine. maybe a 5000000 or indie film called the great flick and it's got a new one coming it's streaming on hulu called boss level some sort of time loops and he's got a new one coming out on hulu streaming channel called boss sort of a time loop thing it's got a new one coming on hulu streaming called. he's got. like i did that israel of course one.
