this is one of the worlds to. collections some of them. they make. gains. all. over the world health organization chris. in europe speaking.

in the new york. filipino. asian hate crimes in the. community. it's in response to a teacher forced to go into hiding after showing his class. with

police. bringing you the recount of the past 7 days and up to their minutes of elements this is their weekly n.r.t. a little welcome. in the war on their pandemic russia has an array of weapons among them the f.b.i. . this week it became available in all russian regions as part of the mass vaccination campaign a job that developers say it's safe 100 percent effective at producing antibodies can fight off mutant strains r t 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 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 is isolated 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 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 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. thin the vaccine develops

a 3 line defense like to enter a room you need to open a door the vaccine forms on tea parties 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 wild then you response destroys the infected cell several high profile russian officials have already chosen after iraq as 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 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 coronavirus fact scenes 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. or germany is about summation programa suffered another blow of berlin again suspending use of the astra zeneca this time for the older sixty's left many in the age group who've already had their 1st shot in a state of limbo. is this all of 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 vento strombo this had been reported after vaccination with the astra zeneca jab 9 of which were unfortunately fatal. those under 60 can still receive the shot but only on prescription after an individual risk assessment it was a number of non elderly people suffered blood clots after vaccination some in berlin say they're tired of the government's flip flops on the vaccine. but 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 there is very good that the vaccines were is a valid so fast and then 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. been this week also followed suit suspended the use of the job for under 55 aged people was after the country's national advisory committee decided it was

not worth the risk of vaccines image has been tarnished over a few years of rare but potentially fatal blood clots no one has prompted an investigation by a b e use medical regulator which find no direct link the benefits of the job outweigh the risks but added they would continue with the probe meanwhile the same organization the european medicines agency recently approved a new name for the astra zeneca job vioxx is everywhere there has been speculation that the company behind the vaccine has decided to rebrand in response to public safety concerns infectious disease expert bob arnot there's 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 lay shoe out 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 corrected the dose the may have the wrong. efficacy rate had to change that so a lot of suspicion about this. the e.u. vaccine rollout as a whole has been best said by problems with several states not seeking to break away from the joint purchase scheme the w.h.o. has also expressed concerns calling the e.u.'s efforts on except the police low according to be organizationally 4 percent of those within the block have taken 2 doses of the vaccine so far earlier my colleague neil harvey discussed that and a stress seneca's troubles with a w h o's europe had. we're both alarms and frustrates 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 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 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 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 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 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 years in some cases years to build in just a few minutes to erode and diminish so it will undoubtedly and has undoubtedly impact it's the 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 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 kind 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 box in that it's come to that aid and support so sputnik very being used to many member states it does not count 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. asian attacks in the u.s. show no sign of letting up to shockingly brutal assault happened this week in new york while of the victims was an elderly filipino woman who was brutally beaten while her block meal assailant yelled racial slurs 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. in

. 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 and 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 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 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. just mentioned volunteers are giving out whistles

to elderly asian people throughout the u.s. in san francisco though the project has been dealt a blow after some 700 whistles meant for distribution were stolen. well made violence in america streets some are looking at other ways to come to racism a publisher has pulled a children's book over its the picture of a martial arts instructor called muster one that some have deemed offensive on the form of puffs of racial stereotyping others have called it a pointless exercise in virtue signaling bypassing the real problems facing asian people we spoke to historian gerald horne about joe biden's role in the issue at large. he needs to realize that by launching this new cold war against 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 leads into anti asian american anti pacific islander america violence. still lots ahead of looting a poll has fallen that most americans are not about losing their jobs over something vague said online because of the onset of soul culture to be printed out to the right. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the

dares thinks. we fear to ask. this and you know became the bottleneck is a valid excuse your movement and you know full well you see there is a government you should let yourself through we call to this vision we said action on this lead before is not to go out. and socially. at least the so-called peace with the palestinians all against between so you can you know those who say only.

19 minutes into the program welcome back. in the u.k. has one the prime minister that trouble is brewing on less muslims are showing more respect he also insinuated that the country risks quote becoming like france a statement that many view as a threat and so after a teacher in northern england to bridge parts of the muslim community by showing cartoons of the prophet muhammad to us 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 however

a petition calling for him to be reinstated has garnered over 70000 signatures the u.k. department for education has defended the teacher it is never acceptable to threaten the intimidates 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 to they obligations to ensure political balance you'll recall rage over a similar case in france last october which led to the brutal murder of some your posting history teacher he was beheaded by a terrorist after showing cartoons of the prophet muhammad to his pupils during of the sky on freedom of expression from christian concern. a political social commentator locked horns over the issues raised. this could be very easily turning into some kind of a power 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 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 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 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 had 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 idea is 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 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 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. ok to a story which got a lot of people talking when we 1st arrived earlier in the week the issue of council culture is having an impact on people's psychological well being a majority of people polled in the us no say they fear being sacked or reprimanded for views they share online it 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 close to 2000 people surveyed some 2 thirds of you growing council culture is a threat to their freedom while more than half see it as an danger in their job

security we canvassed opinion on the subject among new yorkers. people are creative and have a different mindset some artist decide to do different things people you next door neighbors affected the 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 harsh and it could really go like a pocket sometimes i think it does care people and it makes people think and make. sure you know. when appropriate. the idea of canceling canceling is bad and 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 it. to also understand like being fed up

with having to respond to people sorry if you're so low it's always more complicated when it's presented. with this thing with this story political commentary chadrick where he shared his thoughts with us on council culture and from word emerged. 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 anything else. that we really experience in culture before it's you know and it's such a lot of this has become a social media mob aying and threats to docs and get people fired and it's not it's right to upgrade them on many levels and most importantly it has a chilling effect on public discourse and i'm people being able to speak their

minds to openly. discuss and advocate for things that they are the things that they truly believe in and their criticisms and maybe what's going on in culture and in government and even cancel culture itself as we've seen just criticizing cancel culture 'd can get you canceled. pretty incredible story this if performing open heart surgery isn't enough how about doing it in a building that's on fire that's exactly what doctors in the far east of russia had to cope with on friday is video from inside the operating theater during the outs are the blaze broke out at a run mid day with most patients and staff quickly evacuating the hospital but a team of surgeons were operating on a patient at the time and had no choice but to eat or go into. the surgery went as planned by the patient was later moved to another clinic no one was injured in the fire investigators say electrical short circuit may be to blame for the.

now after months of unrest with protesters demanding the prime minister's resignation people in bulgaria finally headed to the polls for parliamentary elections support for the ruling party had a rooted after accusations of feeling to fight corruption poverty and reform the judicial system where the spike that's according to exit polls prime minister boy cooper center right party looks to have secured the largest share of the vote there was a smaller turnout in previous years as the country struggles with a 3rd wave of the pandemic though many took the chance to have their say despite covert figures. 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 you can. be the only difference is the 12 there in masks everything is very cold which isn't confusing there is tense and

ties it to i think there is no place to panic and every person must go and vote taking into consideration the kenyan government dependency cases in the long consequences out there inevitably but only people here because everything around the world those nations and even. i would say it's easy for our thinking there when the countries confirmed in bulgaria will of course bring you the final results well that is some of the stories that shaped our past week too hope you can join me for more in 30 life from moscow every hour of the day this is art. look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders that conflict

with the 1st law should your identification for should be very careful about official intelligence and the point obesity is a great trust in shia. areas with artificial intelligence will some of the demons. must protect its own existence was mixed. with. drugs has come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we've seen very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids invited america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after

dose and really became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers all the governments. and i can remember when it would flood one time in the fall and then one time in the spring you know a break up and now i mean already 3 times this year they said you know when people get nervous about the flooding of their houses and need to stay in school or even get out of new talk because they're worried about that kind of stuff and just these last 2 storms have take. in so much a way you know you went measure the last couple storms and they're like knocked off 20 feet in 11 day yeah and so there's a better margin and also i have to do you know the students in iraq and the kids right now journals about their worries about the floods but i don't think.
