friendship. we believe the government is to blame for the fact that we have to. put the same time in a completely grueling regime. just a few moments into a brand new day here in moscow. that weekend. welcome to the new. we begin with breaking news from washington d.c. a police officer is dead another in hospital after a car running outside the u.s. capitol building all the suspect was shot and killed after stepping out of his
5:02 pm
vehicle and brandishing a knife earlier i spoke to r.t. america correspondent foreign from soc who reports from capitol hill. last week we had the fencing around the capitol taken down and then this incident happened we just had a press conference where all of this information was released but the incident happened around one or 2 pm suspect was then shot around $115.00 and then the national guardsmen were actually deployed to come back out into the streets of washington d.c. moments after that all happened so i want to take you a look at a look at the scene behind me here where you're seeing all of those police vehicles right into that area is a driveway where many senators you'll see the building on the left that's the senate building many of these senators walking back and forth to and from that building just across where you see those police officers on the right there is a driveway there where again many of these senators their cars or workers into the work at the capitol drive in what happened was at 102 pm the suspect drove his car
5:03 pm
through that driveway hitting 2 police officers and then smashed into a barricade much like the barricades that you're seeing that we're seeing right here in front of these national troops however the suspect coming down the street those barricades were not up at the time now since this incident they have been the barricades have now been erected with the 2 officers that were hit they were immediately taken into separate ambulances to the hospital again as you mentioned one of them succumbing to his injuries and we just had a capitol police officer die back on january 6th during the insurrection here at the capitol so that d.c. is very much been on high alert since then which is why they brought out that fencing on this officer is now the 5th capitol police officer and it's 200 year history to die in the line of duty again we had that officer brian sic nick di back on january 6th during the insurrection as far as the mood of what's happening here you can see very much you know looks very very high stakes behind the barricades
5:04 pm
there but actually if you take a look completely across the capitol you can see everyone very normal people on. scooter's people walking around taking pictures of the building with the suspect being dead and with an officer being dead there is still no motive given we don't know the motive yet however the capitol hill police have said in their press conference that this was not they do not consider this an act of terrorism. i spoke with former pentagon analyst michael maloof a little earlier he believes the latest incident will result in an even larger security presence in washington d.c. well into the future the initial concern was this could have been a decoys and immediately the rest of the capitol went under further lockdown and also has they've also done the same thing for government buildings just in case this might have been a decoys but so far nothing else has happened it could have been just a test if people who had been tensions of it in the capitol will look upon this as
5:05 pm
a lesson learned what to do or what not to do and how to go about this but i think that this latest episode just reinforces especially if it was done by a lone a lone wolf that the they're going to have to maintain their their security presence and actually beef up security because of the sensitivities of what's going on in the in the capital area especially on capitol hill and the vulnerability of congressmen and senators they're going to maintain security for an indefinite period of time. ok 2 more world news germany ses it's ready to take matters into its own hands when it comes to ordering vaccines if the e.u. does not get its act together the country's health minister also stressed that burley needs to stock up on jobs for next year too. what is important is the question of 2022 we have to secure our capacities for
5:06 pm
a possible 3rd or 4th round of vaccinations we currently don't know how long vaccination protection lasts hence we must secure these capacities as part of the european union or failing that as a nation it is no secret the e.u. vaccine rollout has been beset by problems with several states now looking to break away from the joint purchase scheme be include slovakia and hungry while austria has just entered talks to buy a 1000000 doses of the russian job despite it not yet having been approved by the block's drug watchdog the w.h.o. has also expressed its concerns calling the use efforts on acceptably slow according to the organization only 4 percent of europeans have taken 2 doses of the packs seen so far earlier my colleague neil harvey discussed the earth's astra zeneca struggles and the prospects of the russian vaccine in the block with the executive director of the w h o's regional office for europe. we're both alarms and frustrated at that moment
5:07 pm
we're alarmed because we're rapidly approaching 1000000 deaths in the european region without 44000000 cases of covert 19 on the other hand we're frustrated because we are well frustrated for the reasons that many of us have been living in lockdown ferrante 20140 days in some cases but also across states it's because we don't see these vaccines reaching arms fast enough but this really is a court of governments to improve their backs nation plans ramp up speed up that vaccination process we need people to accept and have confidence in the vaccines they're receiving and when they're offered a vaccine to agree to take it the longer we wait the higher the likelihood. that the virus mutates and that will see variants escape the vaccine you mentioned a really important point there i think particularly pertinent right now because the w.h.o. talking about the after seneca vaccine is said country should keep using and of
5:08 pm
course there's that there's a great the need for it and a great demand for it but there are several countries i think more than a dozen countries at their full of using it what is the stands now on astra zeneca as vaccine last in confidence to such a fragile thing i mean it takes you in some cases years to build in just a few minutes to erode and diminish so it will undoubtedly and has undoubtedly impact its confidence of the communities that are relying on that vaccine. the astra zeneca backs it this is very important that we get this vaccine back online where it's been temporarily suspended but at this point there's no course the association until we have more data we won't know just getting back to the vaccinations there's a range of them out there now russia has a fear of its own thing the 1st one out there are those put on the market with sputnik v some countries and the west the big. slow to approve use of
5:09 pm
it is that legitimate is it just because the medical checks haven't been done yet or is it could there be a political element to it i don't think pot politics is something that we should necessarily just just in terms of the vaccines and when different vaccines use split the vaccine from what we've seen from the russian federation's the dates of its own of all peers to be an effective and safe vaccine is used in many member states and in and some of the states the do not have access to the vaccines that are listed for it's really the russian box in that has come to their aid and support so sputnik very being used to many member states it does not have european medicines association approval hence it doesn't have a u. member states using it at this point but we are confident that in the very near future not vaccine will be of use to everybody across the globe or the message from the w.h.o. is something president the money will mccrone may want to bear in mind french
5:10 pm
doctors have been venting their frustration on his failure to deliver on his promise to speed up vaccinations as france enters its 3rd lockdown they warn that the lack of available doses is now a critical with ever more seriously ill cope with patients being admitted to already overwhelmed hospitals but the nation's leader insists the rollout is happening at full throttle. when we talked to him when we were putting all means to vaccinate vaccinate vaccinate without a 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
5:11 pm
a completely gruelling 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 cancelled. ministration promise to increase the number of intensive care beds to more than 10000 but doctors say it will come at the expense of covert patients another problem is lack of stuff as intensive care requires additional special training and equipment. again sees those challenges could have been avoided if porous had acted earlier. imagine because 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
5:12 pm
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 within homes to oxygen therapy the problem however is that the appropriate technology has not been installed in all hospitals as a result of therapy side still limited responsibility for this rests entirely with the manual macron who endlessly delay the adoption of measures even preventative measures such as supplying hospitals with oxygen cylinders and oxygen therapy devices necessary for treating patients. or live with are to international we will keep the news rolling in 90 seconds catch the rest.
5:13 pm
the wall street frauds going all the way back to the twenty's they're not different they're repackaged rebranded and sold again it's the same y. and so the smack frog is just a variation on the dot com frog which is a variation of the mortgage subprime fraud if you remove the g.d.p. would be it would be negative 20 percent. of. the movement you see. through. this vision with. only.
5:14 pm
40 minutes past the hour welcome back the united states is using all tools. to counter the ever growing global influence of china with the goal in mind washington's reaching i tallies across asia with mixed success the take over a very old simon right. 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 record for the 1st try we're convening this group. yet that meeting was a few weeks ago a meeting of the quadrilateral security dialogue or quote for short because no one
5:15 pm
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 a 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 without ever 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. to be china free and open it close it and help the unless you china. to be china constrained by course power china committed to addressing the world's defining challenge the rise of china moment of crisis something. to be china. and china. about the threat of climate change and combat the threat of china i'll save
5:16 pm
you the pain of watching you basically goes on like that some of the cord the asian nato we say officially 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 rise the. sea definitely not a military alliance as ever though self-interest is likely to be the main enemy of this group they 1st got together back in 2004 to respond to the booking day tsunami when they tried to go steady off towards. make it all a bit more spiritual 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
5:17 pm
sanctions from beijing so yeah return of the cord 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 a security it does most of its shopping in china 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 its 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. 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 iranian oil in defiance of u.s. sanctions i mean just like the quote never says the c word china and iran didn't
5:18 pm
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 am sure. russian opposition activist alexei navalny has declared himself on hunger strike after claiming he's being mistreated in prison he's demanding the right to choose his own doctor and has made various allegations of mistreatment been properly by western media outlets mission of ali was chilled around a month ago. for breaking the terms of a suspended sentence for an earlier embezzlement conviction his case is now being reviewed by russia's human rights committee which is conducting a tour of the country's prison system r.t. joined them to see 1st down the facility where alexei navalny is being held amid much international speculation. you tell a lot about how civilized a society is by entering its present russian prisons shrouded in dark mystery
5:19 pm
a beloved topic for the merchants of doom but lately the gaze of the international media and rights activists has been glued to one penal colony holding alexina valley in one of the toughest penal colonies it's a place that's very isolated there are very strict information flows it's a demoralising and very difficult place to spend a lot of time this particular in a flat in a region is one of russia's most of the 2 of our colleagues set off to check up on these alarming reports of abuse not as journalists though but as members of russia's human rights watchdog our crew strong along novelli called this a concentration camp here is what we were shown the facility has a library a medical unit 3 floors of conjugal visit rooms the daily routine is hardly spa like of course the administration has the facility in an iron grip but this is not a resort it's a correctional facility and of course things you're allowed to do on the outside on
5:20 pm
to allowed in here it feels like groundhog day get up do your exercises make the bed tidy up breakfast morning inspection then lunch get some free time evening inspection and more tidying up dinner lectures lights out now we couldn't independently verify these exact claims but what we were shown corroborated the account so this is what a typical barrack here looks like but apart from well expected bunk beds there's also a table for ping pong the administration has assured us it hasn't been brought here just for show well being able to play table tennis in the penitentiaries is great and all that but alexina valley hasn't been complaining about the lack of exercise he's accused the administration of denying him medical care privately though inmates from the same unit as novelli say that they heard a very different account from him. as i can tell he's regularly taken to the medical unit on top of that a doctor from
5:21 pm
a regional institution has seen him he said he was taken for an m.r.i. but said that he had not yet received any diagnosis not such long mccardell at personally examined him and his condition was satisfactory he did all the tests gave blood and urine samples had a full examination on the 24th of march he was taken for examination at the regional hospital in the city of atlanta and you're all just prescribed treatment for him which he has refused and is still refusing to this day. maria buton now an expert for russia's commissioner for human rights has seen the inside of an american prison so she can put the conditions here in context she visited in the valley and here's how it went christmas just a good year if that was really the roots of the pressure to the. us live we knew but i took the position i knew that out of those of us this is elected me as national anthem acosta for us it's not a new kitty give it a little girl with your day to music when job was a question because they were both moderate on most of what is right in the poll
5:22 pm
though they were shocked by the thought the governing is a part of your story delisted well there is a hospital tonight it's a new place with your own vision your little faces that is of us who get out of washington with choices it's just what's in the struggle it's the province's the ignorance the love that society. heard and that would end up with everything changed in business for the better whatever we pick a slogan at the petition which reaches what do we or whichever way you want to just you laid out who that is it's going to go on a petition stilettos shimkus doing it's a. child measure how can i last question of which are who are stuck with the new guy shrugs and b. would you go to move not a coalition of belly button was to. opt out of the missile would watch another cycle because when it in your heart lets you know about the need to do to build new neither of us individually what united nations is and when you scratch really press it out some other than with. the with that with that part of the course of your smartest work record is one of the most of what we really should call the business . it is a residence out to. live with each of those who are the new things and you're going
5:23 pm
in those particular something in life yes this is good i am sincerely here of my own free will as i've received requests from russia civic chamber and i said to him aleksey you yourself complain that something is wrong with you here well here i am if you compare this place to an american prison for example in terms of the number of people staying in one of those dorms then whereas here you see about 50 people together over there it's $3.00 to $4.00 times more overcrowded and here you can see that everyone has space there's a shared kitchen there are special rooms for a long family visits which do not exist at all in america which there are no such visits he looks down on everyone you know as someone who's been to prison i would advise him not to behave in this way the administration will protect him as best they can but he's living with other prisoners if one of them ends up being punished for his behavior say his own cleanliness he will be the one to blame the vollies behavior has been mirrored and amplified by his followers as other members of
5:24 pm
russia's rights watchdog showed us threats they got since the kremlin critic was incarcerated yet medical care is just the tip of the vollies iceberg of complaints sleep deprivation another charge against the colonies administration guards waking him up 8 times a night beaming a flashlight in his face talking loudly in his ear jury night time roll call but according to an inmate sharing the block with the volume he must be a featherweight of a sleeper no one else is bothered by the rounds at most part of the news my bed is practically next to his during the nights i don't wake up from their rounds it's never happened to me if i'm not mistaken he was in a plugs when he sleeps it doesn't bother me even without it plugs. to hear it from someone in the valleys shoes we talked to an inmate from a different calling subjected to the very same rules when jews the same procedure as every night starting from 10 pm they do their rounds every 2 hours on the 1st day i kept waking up but now it's all good so no one sticks
5:25 pm
a torch in your face or anything like that no not really it is unlikely one public visit will put to rest claims about and volleys treatment from his backers home and abroad but russian authorities hope that a more transparent strategy opening prison doors as opposed to building them shot will allow a different picture to emerge of his confinement. done of artsy. thing migrant crisis on the southern u.s. border has been dominating the news of late and no it's making even more headlines over the terminology being used democratic representative alexandria cortez has condemned the labeling of the situation at the border as a migrant surge the congresswoman claims that's akin to pushing so-called white supremacy this is not a surge and we are not be invaded which by the way is the white
5:26 pm
supremacist idea. cortez made those remarks during a live stream an instagram and was quickly ridiculed online with some highlighting the risks of misusing such extreme turds. question is venue ice cream also a sign of white supremacy you'll say anything to rile your base you fall in line as want to speak. also you are a big reason the face white supremacy is new using its meaning referring to border facilities as modern day concentration camps is just fine in a book but referring to the ongoing crisis on the border as a surge is militaristic and white supremacy you know 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 of word if it doesn't fit for then 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's going to use the age old terms the
