kind this still is one of the world's 2 largest fire collections some of them so deadly they make teen look like an allergy in some of the stories that shape this week. exclusive access to the high security subir in a bar at 3 well russia. is made up a save a short 100 percent of producing antibodies against the strains of coburg 90. the world health organization criticizes the role of cope with 19 vaccines in europe for being on acceptably slow he's executive director for europe explains the problem in numbers. both along i'm frustrated with the amount we're along because we're rapidly approaching 1000000 deaths in the european beach but also prostrate

you just we don't see these facts seem to feature almost cost him. a nation in my sleep all night long. you'll see it in the new york subway and the elderly filipino woman in the city streets in the latest string of asian crime in the us. warms his community can't be held responsible for the actions of someone to visuals the muslims on free with more respect after teacher showed his class called genes of the prophet muhammad our guests to. you believe we constantly thank all is he ok to be fun to be racist to begin. with the law me here is going to teach us how to go. with police protection.

live from moscow welcome to the weekly here on r.t. international i'm daniel hawkins wherever you are this warning welcome to the program. now in the war on the pandemic russia has an array of weapons among them is the ep of the corona vaccine this week it's become available in all russian regions for the mass vaccination campaign with jobs developers say safe 100 percent effective at producing antibodies and can fight off mutant strains r.t. was invited to visit their high security robot tree in the heart of siberia where it's made. this sign is probably worth a 1000 words because we are in one of the few places in the world where it has been plastered against the door not for cool looks not for show but as an actual warning behind this door is one of the world's 2 largest virus collections some of them so deadly they make covert 19 look like an allergy we are at the vector research

institute met here with armed guards barbed wire and the no fly zone above us inviting journalists is worlds apart from common practice here but they're eager to show and talk about how with their jab. is made so this machine is where the work on the vaccine begins basically an inactivated virus from the red zone from the dirty zone is brought here and this machine it separates the r.n.a. from the rest of the virus it isolates it and from here at the r.n.a. is being passed on for further study and work this is the preferred vinyl stage of producing a vaccine basically here they are preparing a foundation for it it's protein based so the substance in this boiler is literally called soup or wild broth it contains all the nutrients that will make this protein grow and as soon as it is ready it will be taken to a different lab also here where active components of the vaccine will be attached

to this protein in the foundation by active i mean those that will be recognized by our immune system as well including this and therefore we will develop antibodies for covert 19 we do i want to emphasize 3 major advantages of the vaccine it's safe because it's made from synthetic peptides 2nd it's not sensitive to virus mutations it's resistant to all known covert strains including british south african brazilian and others and 3rd you can get vaccinated unlimited times one with the yearly flu vaccinations. the vaccine develops a 3 line defense like to enter a room you need to open a door the vaccine forms on 2 bodies that prevent that if the fos line of defense is broken then another pool of antibodies goes into battle that stops the virus from connecting to the cell and getting inside but if this line is crossed as well

then you response destroys the infected cell several high profile russian officials have already chosen app iraq as their covert jab and there were rumors of russia's former president dmitry medvedev did so as well but the deputy head of the vector institute says vaccination shouldn't be a free for all fights between different produces people get through jobs they don't ask how those vaccines are made or how they walk but all of them meet certain requirements it should be the same with corona virus vaccine a person just gets a job and that's it the message from russian vaccine developers which ever jab you choose you are getting the best shot at immunity and we've done of reporting from the heart of siberia r.t. . meanwhile germany is vaccination program has suffered another blow with again suspending use of the astra zeneca jab at this time for the sixty's that's left many in that age group we've already had the 1st shot in

a state of limbo is this all of it is undoubtedly a sad back that one of the vaccines available to us for this pandemic appears to pose an increased risk for a certain age group 31 pieces of cerebral vento strombo this had been reported after vaccination with the astra zeneca jab 9 of which were unfortunately fatal. people under 60 can still receive the shots but only on prescription and after an individual risk assessment this comes as a number of people in that age group suffered blood clots after a vaccination some say they're wary of the government's flip flops on the vaccine. i completely understand being cautious but the problem of stopping the vaccination all the time is that we are already so far behind compared to the rest of the world and that is very disappointing because there are many restrictions and vaccines are the only thing we're trusting so we need to receive clear messages for citizens not to get confused. i feel that they're now really rushing ahead to fast if you look

at the side effects they're very rare if you read the information leaflets of aspirin or ibuprofen or any other those have much more serious side effects and we swallow those daily more or less. i think it is very very good that the vaccines were valid so fast and that we talk about the side effects because silence of that information would be so much worse but i also think that due to everyone having an opinion on it now it kind of make the whole vaccination process fall into pieces or the netherlands this week also followed suit while kind of the suspended the use of the job for those under 55 of the country's national advisory committee decided just wasn't worth the risk the vaccines image has been tarnished over fears of rare but potentially fatal blood clots prompted an investigation by the european regulator that found no direct link and said the benefits of the job outweighed the risks meanwhile the european medicines agency has recently approved

a new name for the astra zeneca jab. there's been speculation the company behind the vaccine is decided to rebrand in response to public safety concerns ventures disease expert. there's no easy fix for the reputational damage. in this case and a 1000000 people you know you would expect very few cases of these terrible blood clots you know the ones in the in the scientists is in the brain the venous system the brain and the dissemination coagulation route the body just terrified and they're seeing it you know in in younger women so with this. it's very hard to convince the public now because now you know they see faulty vaccine data you know used the wrong dose they corrected the dose and may have the wrong. efficacy or a that had to change that so a lot of suspicion about this you vaccine rollout in general has been beset by problems with several states now looking to break away from the joint purchase scheme the show has also expressed its concerns calling the e.u.'s efforts on

acceptably slow according to the organization only 4 percent of europeans have taken to notice of the vaccine so far and we discussed this on the astra zeneca travels with the executive director of the show's regional office for europe. we're both alarms and frustrated at that moment 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 lock down from things fancy 140 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 they 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 course there's that there's a great the need for it and a great demand for it but there are several countries in more than a dozen countries appear full of using it what is the stands now on astra zeneca vaccine just in confidence is 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. at the astra zeneca bassett 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 few 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 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 used sputnik the vaccine from what we've seen from the russian federation's the dates of its own of all appears to be an effective and safe vaccine is used in many member states and in some of the states the do not have access to the vaccines that are listed for it's really the russian vaccine that has come to their aid and support so sputnik ve been used to many member states it does not have european medicines

approval hence it doesn't have e.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. anti asian attacks in america show no sign of letting up to shockingly brutal assault happened this week in new york one of the victims was an elderly filipino woman who was beaten while her black male assailant they yelled rochelle slurs a warning you may find the following video upsetting. you are.

and what seems to bother people the most is that there are several eyewitnesses in the video who didn't intervene did not step up to stop the attacker and that is very similar to something that took place on the new york city subway another anti asian hate crime which video has also been made available of take a look. now the new york city police department says there is

a sharp increase in anti asian hate crimes they say there have been $27.00 similar incidents that took place over the course of the last year 12 of which were violent assaults now there has been a conversation among the us public about an asian racism we've heard statements from the biden ministration as president biden said during his 1st primetime address and to violence and said a full day is wrong is un-american and must stop today president biden is announcing new actions to respond to the increase in acts of and. violence and to develop safety inclusion and belonging for all asian american native hawaiian and pacific island to communities in asian american communities throughout the united states there have been community patrols that have been formed and they've been giving elderly asian americans a whistles so that if they are targeted by a racist attack or they can blow the whistle and maybe you know get the attention

of people that are around them and that's one measure that has been taken there's been a number of statements by celebrities that have been made about the need to stand against anti asian racism we've heard from the white house but at this point people are wondering will this be able to have an impact will this wave of anti asian violence be able to be stopped because right now on the streets so we continue to see footage of what is taking place it's very brutal very disturbing and it doesn't appear to be stopping on a scale of just mentioned volunteers giving out whistles to elderly asian people throughout the u.s. in some francisco the project has been dealt a blow to some 700 whistles from it for distribution was stolen and we have on it's in america's streets some looking at other ways to counsel racism publishers pull the children's book over its depictions of emotional it's instructive called moss the one some of deemed it offensive in a form of passive racial stereotyping others have called it a pointless exercise in virtue signaling and by pausing the real problems facing

people daily we spoke to story about joe biden's role in the issue of laws. he needs to realize that by launching this new cold war against china he simultaneously helping to create conditions for the rise of violence it seems to me that for the foreseeable future we're going to have difficulties because china's ascendancy is not going away any time soon and i'm afraid to say the political education in united states is not very sophisticated not very high enough to bleed bleeds into anti asian american anti pacific islander america violence. the polls found most americans are anxious about losing their jobs i was something they've said online because of council culture will look into the issue off the plate.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being that. direct. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or in making the shallowness. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. spanning dramatic development only

i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful. he came to kill time to sit down and talk. the weekly and him on the u.k.'s war the prime minister the trouble is brewing if war respect isn't shown to muslims incinerating the country could go the way of france that's after a teacher in northern england left parts of the community outraged by showing cartoons of the prophet muhammad to his class all we ask for is a bit of respect if one teacher can do it another teach can do it 5 years down the line and we do not want this to be the case otherwise we are not responsible for the actions of some individuals the teacher and his family are now in hiding after

receiving death threats he's apologized but has been suspended though some local muslims are demanding that the school fire him her over a petition calling on the school to reinstate the teacher's gone over 65000 signatures the u.k. department for education has also defended the teacher it is never acceptable to threaten the intimidate teaches we encourage dialogue between parents and schools when he she has emerged schools are free to include a full range of issues ideas and materials in their curriculum including where they are challenging a controversial subject or they obligations to ensure political balance or outrage over a similar case in france last october led to the brutal murder of some well party history t. shirt near paris he was beheaded by a terrorist after showing cartoons of the prophet muhammad to his pupils to him differ from christian concern and no one saw a political and social commentator the bait of the issue. this could be very easily

turning into some kind of a powder keg and you do not throw that matches into such things we've seen in france and in many european countries the rise of the far right we've seen some 2 tier civil rights system pushing against islam pushing against muslims marginalizing them and it's open season on muslims courage attack them on free speech basis and people make themselves up to be free speech martyrs or somehow muslims become inflamed of their own 15 western values so what's most alarming here is that a teacher asked her to go into hiding with police protection because what he's done he's he's discussed opened a discussion about a cartoon and the why the subject of blasphemy he hasn't actually hurt anyone he hasn't actually even threatened any violence and yet there are obviously very real threats of violence against him so much so that the police to protect him and take his family his wife and his children into hiding i think that is very very concerning and i think we need to recover a sense of normality in

a sense of people being able to openly discuss and educate people about these things and i've been around the block a few times and have this discussion a few times every time we've had this discussion on free speech and debate we have put down to worst of the ideas racism hatred we know it's not ok to be racist against muslims to make the argument is your right to be racist or is this racist we need to learn about religion that we need to learn about what people believe and we need to openly discuss them and so people and super about it let's be very clear about this that discussing a cartoon it's got about how it has nothing to do with basis and it's not racism at all so what's happening here is people are trying to shut down a discussion and using threats of violence when people judge. people who work with the english defense league you keep anti muslim interest across europe and the rest of the while to try and demonize muslims marginalize them would have enough you will not win the cultural debate. or is he ok to be poked fun at and be racist

against muslims out of their loved ones read what else is and you don't get to be offensive towards us this is not the way a free society should work he should definitely be defended it's all he's done is raise a discussion people should be free to discuss things in class if we're not free to discuss things we have a de facto blasphemy law in the country which is being enforced by more cruel that threatens violence against people. matter of calcium cultures have an impact on people psychological well being a majority of people polled in the us say they fear being fired or reprimanded for what they say online it is a chilling finding that most people in the country now are afraid they would be fired if they express their real views on social media let's take a closer look of the nearly 2000 people surveyed over 60 percent view growing council culture as a threat to their freedom while more than half see that as in danger in their job security we canvassed opinion on the issue among new york resident. people are

creative and have different mindset that artists decide to do different things people you next door neighbor the fact of the difference is that you may not agree on i don't for they used to ruin their entire lives over what they think in their mind even though it is harsh and it could really go like the market sometimes i think it does care people and it makes people think and maybe for. sure you know. inappropriate. the idea of cancelling cancelling is bad and is not a good way of. creating difficult conversations because difficult conversations are very important to making difficult topics less difficult. that could really change the way that a person interacts with the world or using it. to also understand i don't like being fed up with having to respond to people. if you're so low it's always more

complicated when it's presented. as a child but more shared his thoughts on castle culture and where it's come from. in the past we've always sort of focused on the government and focused on protecting the constitution but of course in this in this day and age the threats are coming not really from the government they're coming from businesses from private corporations and most importantly from each other so that makes it interesting and different i think from from anything else that that we've really experienced in culture before it's you know and it's such a lot of this has become a social media mobbing and threats to docs and get people wired and. it's right to upgrade them on many levels and most importantly it has a chilling effect on public discourse among people being able to speak their minds to openly. discuss and advocate for things that they can for the things that they

truly believe in and their criticisms of maybe what's going on in culture and in government and even mechanical culture itself as we've seen just criticize against a culture busy can get you can tell. us is using all the tools at its disposal to counsel the ever growing global in front of china with that goal in mind to washington's reaching out to allies across asia with mixed success has a take of our own common right. the rise of china and subsequent tantrum in the west is heading the way these things always do the great powers 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 try we're convening this group leader yet that meeting was a few weeks ago a meeting of the quadrilateral security dialogue or quote 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

a more clues than quads the name 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 mean other words is to keep china in its place brilliantly about 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 dish to be china free and open and close it and help the unless you china. to be china unconstrained by 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. and china. about the threat of climate change and combat the threat of china i'll save you the pain of watching you basically goes on like that some of called the quad

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 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 that as their 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 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 when i was 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 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. our documentary takes a trip to alaska x. the see when i will be back in half an hour with the latest to join us again but. by social class. and poverty. if you're born into a poor family off you're born into a minority family if you're born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your life chances people die on average 15 years younger that you're born into generational poverty. it's a fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family.
