hi there and thanks for joining us you're watching the weekly on r.t. international. in the war on the pandemic russia has a number a of weapons among them is the corona vaccine this week it has become available in all russian regions for the math vaccination campaign jabbers developers say that it's safe 100 percent effective at producing antibodies and that it can fight off mutant strains and he was invited to visit the high security laboratory 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 over 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
11:03 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 world 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
11:04 am
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 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 cause which strains including british south african and brazilian and others and 3rd you can get for. cinese it unlimited times what with the yearly flu vaccinations both in the facts into about ups and 3 lying to fans like to enter a room you need to open a door to 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 the virus from connecting to the cell and getting inside but if this line is crossed as while the new response destroys the infected cell several high profile russian
11:05 am
officials have already chosen every rock is their covert jab 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 producers people get free 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 ashtrays and they could jump at this time for the under sixty's many in that age group have already had their 1st shot in the state of limbo. is this all
11:06 am
of it is undoubtedly a sad back that one of the vaccines available to us for this been damaged appears to pose an increased risk for a certain age group 31 keyes's of cerebral event. had been reported after vaccination with the astra zeneca 9 of which were unfortunately fatal. people under 60 can still receive the shot but only on prescription after an individual risk assessment comes as a number of people in that age group suffered blood clots following vaccination from the berlin say the tide of the government's flip flops on the vaccine. but how do 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 trust so we need to receive clear messages for citizens not to get confused but. i feel that they're now really rushing ahead too fast if you look at the side effects they're very rare if you read the information
11:07 am
leaflets of aspirin or ibuprofen or any other those have much more serious side effects and we swallow those daily more or less space for yourself i think it is there is very good that the vaccine as well as al itself 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 jam for those under $55.00 after the country's national advisory committee decided it wasn't worth the risk thanks scenes images been tarnished over fears of rare but potentially fatal blood clots that prompted an investigation by the european regulator found no direct link and said the benefits of the job where the risks. meanwhile the european medicines agencies recently approved a new name for the astra zeneca champ vax every year there's been speculation that the company behind the vaccine has decided to rebranding response the public safety
11:08 am
concerns but infectious disease expert bob arnot said there's no easy fix to any reputational damage in this case at 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 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 because now you know they see faulty vaccine data you know used the wrong dose corrected the dose who may have the wrong. figure see reagan had a change that so a lot of suspicion about this. the vaccine rollout in general has been beset by problems with several states now looking to break away from the joint purchase scheme that we h.o.a.'s also express concern calling us efforts unacceptably slow according to the organization only 4 percent of europeans have taken 2 doses of the
11:09 am
vaccine so far i discussed this on the astra zeneca troubles with the executive director of the derby h o'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 lockdown ferrante fancy 140 days in some cases but also across straits 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
11:10 am
you mentioned a really important point there i think particularly pertinent right now because the w.h.o. talking about the after seneca banks in a sad condition came easy 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 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. 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
11:11 am
a fear of its own thing the 1st one out there are those put on the market was spinning 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 discussed 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 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 they being used to many member states it does not count european medicines association approval hence it doesn't have e.u. member states using it at this point but we are confident that in the very near
11:12 am
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 assaults occurred this week in new york one of the victims was an elderly filipino woman brutally beaten while her black male assailant rel yelled racial slurs sworn you may find this video now betting. 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
11:13 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. 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
11:14 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. 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
11:15 am
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 this killing just mentioned volunteers are giving out whistles to asian people throughout the united states in san francisco the project has been built to blow up to some 700 missiles for distribution was stolen. and violence in the americas streets some are looking at other ways to counter racism a publisher has pulled a children's book over its depiction of a martial arts instructor called master wong some have deemed offensive in the form of passive racial stereotyping others of called it a pointless exercise in virtue signaling and bypassing the real problems that face people each day we spoke to historian joan horne about joe biden's role in the issue at large. he needs to realize that by launching this new cold war against
11:16 am
china he simultaneously helping to create fertile conditions for the rise of asian violence it seems to me that for the foreseeable future we're going to have difficulties because china has 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 american violence. there's a count of how this found most americans are anxious about losing their jobs of a something they've said online because of the council post story after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be
11:17 am
an arms race in. spearing dramatic developments only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by shaped by our own person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask.
11:18 am
welcome back to mom in the u.k. has will the prime minister trouble is brewing unless muslims are showed more respect insinuating the country could go down the same path as fronts this is after a teacher in northern england outraged parts of the community a bunch 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 he's apologized but has been suspended from local muslims are demanding the school fire him but a petition calling on the school to reinstate him gone it more than $65000.00 signatures u.k.
11:19 am
depart for education has defended the teacher. it is never acceptable to threaten the when to mandate 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 our rage over a similar case in france last october led to the brutal murder of samuel pertti a history teacher near paris who was beheaded by a terrorist have the showing cartoons of the prophet muhammad to his pupils to india from christian concern amounts are a political and social commentator locked horns over the issues that were risen. 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
11:20 am
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 places and people make themselves up to be free speech martyrs or somehow muslims become inflamed with 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 a point of 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 are going 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 and 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
11:21 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 and what's happening here is people are trying to shut down 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 what i'll do you try and demonize muslims marginalize them we'd 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 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
11:22 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 a majority of people polled in america say that they fear being fired or reprimanded because of what they said online is a chilling finding that most people in the country now are afraid they would be fired if they expressed their real views on social media of the nearly 2000 people surveyed more than 60 percent of you growing council culture was a threat to their freedom more than half see it as endangering 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 neighbor the fact of the difference is that you might not agree on i don't for they used to ruin their entire lives over what they think in their mind even though it
11:23 am
is harsh and it could really go like a pocket sometimes i think it does care people and it makes people think and maybe for. sure you know. inappropriate. the idea of canceling counseling 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 being fed up with having to respond to people so sorry if you're so low it's always more complicated when it's presented. come to chadwick most 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
11:24 am
this day and age the threats are coming not really from the government they're coming from business 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 such a lot it's that the climate 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. discussed and advocate for things that they are the things that they truly believe in and their criticism that maybe what's going on in culture and in government and even if you have to called yourself as you see just criticize example coulter 'd can do you can feel. as if the filming open heart
11:25 am
surgery isn't difficult enough doing it in a hospital is exactly what doctors in the forest of russia had to cope with on friday is video from inside the operations as a jew in the fire for a place spread counties around the day most patients and staff were evacuated from the building the team of surgeons were operating on a patient at the time they had no choice but to keep on going the surgery wences plant the patient was later moved to another hospital nobody was injured in the 5 of us to get to say an electrical short circuit could be to blame for the place. the u.s. is using all the tools at his disposal to counter the ever growing global influence of china with that goal in mind washington's reaching out to allies across asia with mixed success is on the website continue to summon 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
11:26 am
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 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 about 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 it close it and help the unless you china. to be china i think straight course power china committed to addressing the world defining challenge the rise of
11:27 am
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 you the pain of watching you basically goes on like that some of the quarter the asian nato we say officially denied because it is not a military alliance 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 official they realized it wasn't going to work because none of them really wanted to annoy china. now almost 15 years after they gave up on the cord in the 1st place they're back and they realize they do want to annoy china now because
11:28 am
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 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 its 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 ors cues
11:29 am
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 beasts then are picking their teams and taking sides. to worry about i'm sure. operation rather today i'll return with updates on our top stories in 30 minutes. humanity has never seen such strange natural phenomena before. appearing in the. one after another. one never. did you. get you if you.
11:30 am
hear. this one of the 2020. how often and where will new. how dangerous are they for humans from oh my. 21 russian scientists came quite close to working out what's going on. they build a full scale 3 d. model of the black hole.
