9:02 am
very good afternoon thanks for joining us you're watching the weekly here on earth and. in the war on the pandemic russia has an array of weapons and among them is the fact carona vaccine this week it became available in all russian regions for the mass vaccination campaign the jabs developers claim that it's safe 100 percent effective at producing antibodies and that it can find of mutant strains auntie was invited to visit the high security laboratory in the heart of siberia where it's manufactured. 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
9:03 am
inviting journalists is worlds apart from common practice here but they're eager to show and talk about how with their jab corona 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 well broth it contains all the nutrients that will make this protein grow and as soon as it is ready will be taken to a different lab also here where active components of the vaccine will be attached
9:04 am
to this protein in the foundation by active i mean those that will be recognized by our immune system as well include is and therefore we will develop antibodies for covert 19 where we do i want to emphasize 3 major advantages of the vaccine it's 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. unlimited times what with the yearly flu vaccinations both in the vaccine develops a 3 line to fans like to enter a room you need to open a door the vaccine forms and tea parties that prevent that if the fast line of defense is broken then another pool of antibodies goes into battle that stops a virus from connecting to the cell and getting inside but if this line is crossed is while the new response destroys the infected cell several high profile russian
9:05 am
officials have already chosen after iraq is their covert job and there were rumors of russia's former president dmitry medvedev did so as well but the difficulty 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 vaccines 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 done of reporting from the heart of siberia r.t. . germany's vaccination program suffered another blow with berlin again suspending use of the astra zeneca this time for the in the sixty's so many in that age group of already heard the 1st shot in the state of limbo. is this all of it is
9:06 am
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 keyes's of cerebral vento strombo this had been reported after vaccination with the astra zeneca jab 9 of which were unfortunately fetal. people in the 60 can still receive the shot but only on prescription and after an individual risk assessment this comes as a number of people in that age group suffered blood clots following vaccination some in berlin say that they're tired 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 really rushing ahead too fast if you look at the side effects they're very rare if you read the information leaflets
9:07 am
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 there is very good that the vaccines were is a 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 falling to pieces. the netherlands this week also followed suit while canada suspended use of the germ for those under 55 after the country's national advisory committee decided it wasn't worth the risk the vaccines image has been tarnished over fears of rare 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 agencies recently approved a new name for the asters and it could jump vacs several there's been speculation the company behind the vaccine has decided to rebranded in response to public
9:08 am
safety concerns an infectious disease expert bob arnot said that there's no easy fix to that 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 sinuses in the brain in the venous system in the brain in the december issue out the body just terrifying and you see that you know 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 corrected the dose to me had the wrong. figure serape had a change that so a lot of suspicion about this or the e.u. vaccine rollout in general has been beset by problems with several states now looking to break away from the joint purchase came the v h o's also expressed concern me use efforts unacceptably slow according to the organization only 4 percent of europeans of received 2 doses of the vaccine so far
9:09 am
i discussed this on the astra zeneca troubles with the executive director of the regional office for europe. we're both alarms and frustrates at that moment we're alarmed because we're rapidly approaching 1000000 deaths in the european region we've got 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 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 vaccination 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 back seem to agree to take it the longer we wait the higher the likelihood that the that the virus mutates and that will see variants escape the vaccine
9:10 am
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 need for it and a great demand for it but there are several countries i think more than a dozen countries appear full of using it what is the stands now on astra zeneca vaccine just 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
9:11 am
a fear of its own thing the 1st one out there are those put on the market was sputnik vay 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 where different vaccines used split 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 that 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 they being used to many member states it does not have european medicines approval hence it doesn't have a u. member states using it at this point but we are confident that in the very near
9:12 am
future not vaccine will be of use to everybody across the globe. and to asian attacks in america showing no sign of letting up to a shockingly brutal assault occurred this week in new york one of the victims was an elderly filipino woman who was brutally beaten while her black male assailant yelled racial slurs i must warn you you may find this video upsetting. 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
9:13 am
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. at 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
9:14 am
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 sin a full day is wrong it's un-american and must stop today president biden is announcing new actions to respond to the increase in acts of and to aid. environments and to develop safety inclusion and belonging for all asian american native hawaiian and pacific islander 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 attacker they can blow the whistle and 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
9:15 am
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 was just mentioned the volunteers are giving out whistles to elderly asian people across america or in some francisco to the projects to blow up to some $700.00 whistles meant to be distributed was stolen. made violence in american streets some are looking to other ways to counter racism a publisher has pulled a children's book over to pictures of a martial arts instructor called must the wong some have deemed offensive and a form of passive racial stereotyping of coded a pointless exercise in the signaling and bypassing the real problems facing people each day we spoke with the store in general tone about joe biden's role in the
9:16 am
issue at large 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 and inevitably bleeds into asian american anti pacific islander america but i. still to come a poll is found most americans are anxious about losing their jobs of a something they say online because of the talents and culture that deep on that story after the break.

9:18 am
back in a bomb in the u.k. is warm the prime minister troubles brewing a less muslims to show more respect insinuating the country could go down the same path as friends after a teacher in northern england outraged parts of the community 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 they received death threats the teacher did apologize but has been suspended some local muslims are demanding the school for him but a petition calling on the school to reinstate him is on and 165000 signatures the
9:19 am
u.k. department of education defended the teacher it is never acceptable to threaten or intimidate teaches we encourage dialogue between parents and schools when he 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. outrage over a similar case in france last october led to the brutal murder of samuel party a history teacher near paris he was beheaded by a terrorist after he showed cartoons of the prophet mohammed to his pupils to india from christian concern and no answer a political and social commentator they looked all over the issues raised. 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
9:20 am
some to tears 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 or they won't fit in 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 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 had this discussion a few times every time we've had this discussion on free speech and debate we have
9:21 am
put down do 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 to what's happening here is people trying to shut down a discussion and using threats of violence when people judge. people 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 the lot of us 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
9:22 am
discuss things we have a de facto blasphemy law in the country which is being enforced by a mob rule that threatens violence against people. the matter of council culture is having an impact on people's psychological wellbeing the majority of people polled in america say they fear being fired or reprimanded what has been said online 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 or the nearly 2000 people surveyed more than 60 percent view growing council culture as a threat to their freedom more than half see it as endangering their job security we canvassed opinion on the issue among people in new york. people are creative and have a different mindset that artists decide to do different things people you next door neighbors affected the different you that you might not agree on i don't feel that you should ruin their entire lives over what they think in their mind even though it is harsh and it could really go like that pocket sometimes i think it does care
9:23 am
people and it makes people think and made. sure you know. inappropriate. the idea of canceling 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 can really change the way that a person interacts with the world or using. to also understand like we're fed up with having to respond to people so sorry if you're so low it's always more complicated when it's presented. political commentator chadwick shared his thoughts on council culture and where it came 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
9:24 am
coming from is this is from private corporations and most importantly from each other so that makes it interesting and different i think from anything else that that we really experience in culture before it's you know and it's actually a lot of it that's become a social media mob threats to docs to get people wired and it's not a threat on many levels and most importantly it has a chilling effect on public discourse and on people being able to speak their minds to openly. discuss an advocate for things that they currently that they truly believe in and the criticism that maybe what's going on in culture and in government and even if you have to hold yourself to see just criticize example coulter 'd can get you careful. because some news in brief now on a heated exchange at least in switzerland is
