3:02 pm
protection. bringing you the recap of the past 7 days and to the minute developments this is the weekly r.t. hello and welcome. in the war on the pandemic russia and their rate of weapons among them the epi valve corona vaccine this week it became available in all russian regions as part of the vaccination campaign the job developers say it's safe 100 percent effective of producing antibodies fight off mutant strains r.t. was invited to visit the security of the border tree in the heart of siberia where it's me. 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
3:03 pm
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 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 probably in base so the substance in this is literally
3:04 pm
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 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 what we do but 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 and brazilian and others and 3rd you can get from. listen is it a movement 2 times one with the yearly flu vaccination. both in the facts and develops a 3 line to fans like to enter a room you need to open a door and a vaccine forms antibodies that prevent that what if the fast line of defense is
3:05 pm
broken and 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 the new response it destroys the infected cell it was the several high profile russian officials have already chosen app iraq as 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 functions are made or how they walk but one of them. is it should be the same coronavirus maxine's person just get us a job and that's 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. hello again germany's
3:06 pm
a vaccination program has suffered another blow with berlin again suspending use of the job this time for the 60s love mainly in the age group who've already had their 1st child in a state of limbo is this one of the and it is undoubtedly a setback that one of the vaccines available to us for this pandemic appears to pose an increased risk for a certain age group $31.00 cases of cerebral event of stromboli had been reported after vaccination with the astra zeneca jag 9 of which were unfortunately fatal. those 60 can still receive the shot but only on prescription for an individual risk assessment it comes as a number of people suffered blood clots after vaccination some in berlin say they're tired of the government's flip flops. 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 growing out that
3:07 pm
it is very disappointing because there are many restaurants and vaccines that are the only thing we trust so we need to receive clear messages for citizens not to get confused. 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 leaflets of aspirin or ibuprofen or any other those have much more serious side effects and we swallow those daily burra less. i think it is very very good that the vaccines were as valid so fast and then we talk about the side effects because sally's had 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 in the netherlands this week also followed suit while suspended the use of the job for those under $55.00 after the country's national advisory committee decided it wasn't worth the risk the vaccines image has been tarnished over fears of rare but potentially fatal blood clots that prompted an investigation by the medical
3:08 pm
regulator which far no direct link said the benefits of the job weighed the risks but out it they would continue with the probe meanwhile the same organization the european medicines agency recently approved the new name for the astra zeneca job. there's been speculation that the company. decided to rebrand in response to public safety concerns infectious disease expert bob arnot though said there is no easy fix to 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 disseminated quagga les shu out the body just terrified and they're seen 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
3:09 pm
used the wrong dose corrected the dose the may have the wrong. efficacy rate had to change that so a lot of suspicion about this was no secret that the e.u. vaccine rule out as a whole has been beset by problems with several states now looking to break away from the joint purchase scheme the w.h.o. has also expressed concerns calling the e.u.'s efforts on acceptably slow according to the organization only 4 percent of those within the block uptick in 2 doses of the foxing so far or near my colleague new harvey discuss that sound astra zeneca has troubles with the executive director of the w 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 which are 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 20140 days in some cases but also across states it's because we
3:10 pm
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 a great the need for it and a great demand for it but there are several countries in more than a dozen countries at they're full of using it what is the stands now on astra zeneca as vaccine just in confidence is such a fragile thing i mean it takes years in some cases years to build in just
3:11 pm
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 is no causal 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 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 when different vaccines used to make the vaccine from what we've seen from the russian federation's the dates of
3:12 pm
its own of all here is 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 boxing 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 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. hey let's change stories now until the asian attacks in the u.s. show no sign of letting up to shockingly pirtle assaults happened this week in new york one of the victims was an elderly filipino woman who was brutally beaten while her block in the last sale n.t.l. racial slurs and warning you may find the following video upsetting.
3:13 pm
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
3:14 pm
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 u.s. 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 it's un-american and must stop today president biden is announcing new actions to respond to the increase in acts of and. environments and to develop safety inclusion and belonging for all asian american native hawaiian
3:15 pm
and pacific island to come in h.s. 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 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 killed just mentioned volunteers are giving out whistles to elderly asian people throughout the u.s. in some francisco though the project has been dealt
3:16 pm
a blow to some 700 whistles and for distribution we're still. limited violence in america streets some are looking at other ways to control racism a publisher has pulled the trigger and spoke over it's the picture of a martial arts instructor cole muster was that somehow deemed offensive a form of purpose of racial stereotyping others are called a pointless exercise in virtue signaling of bypassing the real problems facing asian people we spoke to historian turtle torn about joe biden's rule in the issue of war. he needs to realize that by launching this new cold war against china he's 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'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
3:17 pm
america violence. still ahead a poll has fallen that most americans are not like she is about losing their jobs over something they've settled because people don't set off council culture will take deeper into that for you after the break. the world is driven by. one person if there is growth. in a day or thinks. we dare to ask. to

3:19 pm
a statement that many view as a threat itself through a teacher in northern england part of the muslim 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 receiving death threats the 29 year old has since apologized but has been suspended from his job some local muslims are demanding that the school fire him right now wherever a petition calling for him to be reinstated has garnered over 70000 signatures the department for education has defended the teacher. it is never acceptable to threaten the 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
3:20 pm
are challenging a controversial subject or they obligations to ensure political balance i draped over a similar case in france last october led to the brutal murder of samuel party history teacher he was beheaded by a terrorist after showing cartoons of the prophet muhammad to his pupils during a discussion on freedom of expression from christian concern. a political and social commentator locked horns 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 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 are to be free speech martyrs or somehow muslims become inflamed of their own 15 western values so what's most alarming here
3:21 pm
is that the teacher had 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 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 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 it alright 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
3:22 pm
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 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 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. the issue of council culture is having an impact on people psychological well being
3:23 pm
a majority of people polled in the us now say they fear being fired or reprimanded for a fuse they share 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. of the nearly 2000 people surveyed 2 thirds view growing council culture as a threat to their freedom while more than half see it as endangering their job security we can list opinion on the subject among new yorkers. people are creative and have a different mindset some artists decide to do different things people you next door neighbors affected to different you that you might not agree on i don't for that used to ruin their entire lives over what they think in their mind even though it is hard and if you really like the markets and. i think it does care people it makes people think and make. sure you know. inappropriate. the idea of canceling canceling is bad.
3:24 pm
is not a good way of. creating difficult conversations because difficult conversations are very important to making difficult topics less difficult. to 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. if you're solo it's always more complicated and it's presented all political commentator chadwick were shared his thoughts on council culture from where it emerged. in the past we've always sort of focused on the government and bogus 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 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
3:25 pm
that we really experience in culture before it's you know and it's such 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 their criticism that maybe what's going on in culture and in government and even cancer called yourself as you see just criticize example coulter can do you can feel. just in case you thought your job was overly stressful as if performing open heart surgery isn't enough how about doing it in a burning building that's exactly what doctors in the far east of russia have to cope with on friday here is video from inside the hospital's operating you for joining the fire the blaze broke out on the run may day with most patients and
3:26 pm
staff quickly evacuating the building but a team of surgeons who are operating on a patient at the height choice to keep doing the surgery went to the patient was later moved to another hospital no one was injured in the fire and it has to go to say intellectual short circuit maybe to blame for the police. after months of on rest with protesters demanding the prime minister's resignation people in boulder area finally headed to the polls for part. elections support for the ruling party how to root it of feel your to fight corruption poverty reform the judicial system however despite according to exit polls prime minister boy called center right party looks to help secure the largest share of the votes there was a smaller turnout though than in previous years as the country struggles with
3:27 pm
a 3rd wave of the pandemic though many did take the chance to have their say despite covert fears. it's more dangerous in the tram or in the supermarket than here voting. it's a bit different but it works if you wish to you can both. be the only difference is to have their masks everything is very call newton confusing there is tense and ties it to you i think there is no place to panic and every person must good and will take each of the stories in the kenyan government that condemns the creations in. consequence of doctoring never to be the only people be able to do everything wrong because all those nations and even. i would see it seems that all things buffalo wing vast the black holes in the remote siberian region a mystery that even mulder and scully would struggle with see if you can offer any ideas into the tale of your miles cavernous craters in moments good bye for now.
