it. is one of the world's largest collections some of them deadly they make over the 19 look like an analogy among the stories that shaped the week this week on our team for national party games exclusive to the high security siberian lab where. the vaccine is being made developers say that the shot is highly effective against all covert strains. the world health organization criticizes the sluggish rollout of covert vaccines in europe speaking to our agency's executive director for europe explained the problem in figures.

to be approaching 1000000000 in the european reach but also because we don't see. a man who's brutally assaulted in the new york subway and an elderly filipino woman beaten in the city's streets in the latest string of engine hate crimes in the us. and a mom in the u.k. warns his community can't be held responsible for the actions of some individuals if muslims are treated with more respect. to a teacher forced to go into hiding after showing his class cartoons of the prophet muhammad we discussed the issue. with cultural debate all. along here is that it. police protection and.

broadcasting live to read from our studios in moscow this is our new international i'm sean thomas certainly going to have you with us as we recap the week's top stories. now in the war on the pandemic russia has an array of weapons among them the epi valve on a vaccine this week it became available in all russian regions as part of the mass vaccination campaign the shots developers say it is safe 100 percent effective at producing antibodies and can fight off mutant strains archie was invited to visit the high security lab 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 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 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 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 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 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 is vaccination program has suffered another blow with

a berlin again suspending use of the astra zeneca job this time for the under sixty's that has left those who have 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. well those under 60 can still receive the shot but only on prescription and after an individual risk assessment this comes as a number of people suffered blood clots after vaccination some in berlin say that they are 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 fost if you look at the side effects they are 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 as 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 fall into pieces. the netherlands also followed suit this week while canada suspended the use of the job for those under 55 after the country's national advisory committee decided it wasn't worth the risk vaccines image has been tarnished over fears of rare but potentially fatal blood clots that prompted an investigation by the medical

regulator which found no direct link and said the benefits outweigh the risks but added it would continue with the probe meanwhile the same organization the european medicines agency recently approved a new name for the astra zeneca job vax. that's been speculation that the company has decided on the rebranding in response to public safety concerns infectious disease expert bob barr not however says 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 dissemination coagulation out the body just terrified and they're seeing it 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 the may have the wrong. efficacy rate had

a change that so a lot of suspicion about this the e.u. vaccine roll out has 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 use efforts unacceptably slow according to the organization only 4 percent of those within the butt block have taken 2 doses of the vaccine so far earlier my colleague neil harvey discussed that and astra zeneca troubles with the w h o's european chief. we're both alarms and frustrates 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 prostrates it 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 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 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. at the astra zeneca about sids 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 not 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 oh here's 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 that aid and support so sputnik they being used to many member states it does not counts 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 boxing will be of use to everybody across the globe. anti-aging attacks in the u.s. show no signs of letting up to shockingly brutal assault happened this week in new york one of the victims was an elderly filipino woman who was brutally beaten while her blackmail aside saillant yelled racial slurs now bit of warning you may find the following video quite disturbing.

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 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 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 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 as killed just mentioned there 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 were stolen amid violence in america's streets some are looking at other ways to counter racism a publisher has pulled a children's book over its depictions of a martial arts instructor called master wong that some have deemed offensive and a form of passive racial stereotyping others have called it a pointless exercise in virtue signaling and 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 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 violence. still have the program a poll has found that most americans are now anxious about losing their jobs over something that they have said online because of the onset of cancel culture and will dig deeper into that after a short break this is our 2 international. any mom in the u.k. has warned the prime minister that trouble is brewing allies muslims are shown more respect he also insinuated the country risks quote becoming like france a statement that many view as a threat it's after a teacher in northern england outraged parts of the muslim community by showing cartoons of the prophet mohammed 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 the school fire him outright however a petition calling for him to be reinstated has gained more than 70000 signatures the u.k. department for education has defended the teacher. it is never acceptable to threaten the wing to mandate 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 included with the challenge in a controversial subject today obligations to ensure political balance. rage over a similar case in france last october led to the brutal death a murder of samuel pavé a history teacher who was beheaded by a terrorist after showing cartoons of the prophet muhammad to his pupils during

a discussion on freedom of expression to pay from christian concern and. 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 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 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 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 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 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 be very clear about this that discussing a cartoon is 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 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 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 issue of council culture is having an impact on people's psychological wellbeing a majority of people polled in the us say that they fear being sacked or reprimanded for views they share 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 2 thirds view growing council culture as a threat to their freedom well more than half see it as in danger in their job security we got opinion 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 difference 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 if you really like the pocket sometimes i think it does scare people and it makes people think and made. sure you know. inappropriate actions. 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. that could really change

the way that a person interacts with the world or using. to also understand like being a fed up with having to respond to people so sorry if you're so low it's always more complicated when it's presented. right political commentator child but more shared his thoughts on council culture and from where it 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 business it 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. discuss an advocate for things that they can for they 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 criticizing cantle coulter 'd can do you can feel. as if performing open heart surgery is not hard enough how about doing it in a burning building that's exactly what doctors in the far east of russia had to cope with on friday here is a video from inside the operating theater during the fire the blaze broke out around midday 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 keep going the surgery went as planned and the patient was later moved to another clinic no one was injured in the

fire investigators say electrical fault may have been to blame. after months of unrest with protesters demanding the prime minister's resignation people in bulgaria have finally gone to the polls for parliamentary elections support for the ruling party had wrote it over corruption poverty and failure to reform the judicial system however despite that exit polls predict prime and. border solves a center right party has secured the largest share of the vote there was a smaller turnout than previous years as the country struggles with a 3rd wave of the pandemic so many took the chance to have their say despite covert fears. that it's more dangerous in the tram or in the supermarket than here voting record it's a bit different but it works if you wish to you can vote you the only difference is the 12 they're in masks everything is very cold which isn't confusing there is

tense and it ties the 2 i think there is no place for panic and every person must go and vote taking into consideration the can you call me to condemn situations in consequence of doubt that we never to be poor but only people good because everything around the globe goes to nations that even. i would say it's easy for all things to 34 minutes that's when i'll be back with another look at your weekly this is arch international glad to have you with us. now 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 to conflict with the 1st law show your identification or should be very careful about official intelligence and the point obesity is to create trust ever on the shia.
