fresh protests in europe over covert restrictions as mixed messages from governments least people confused and angry. we go where we work with grant come together we can see our loved ones and the more i referring there's this sort of fear against or from the mental the fear when writes the u.s. state of vermont defends prioritising nonwhite residence for the codes it job moved as some have condemned as racist. amid a surgeon anti asian hate crimes in the u.s. marshall and sons in california the state by far the worst affected open self defense classes for the most vulnerable.

a warm welcome to you you're watching r t international with minichiello. now top story this hour european series growing its apparently contradictory because you sounds knockdowns over a 3rd wave as the pandemic it goes down are reports on rising resistance to measures that some things violate basic rights. businesses shuttered parties banned national holidays canceled social life is in a log down chokehold all across europe as governments struggle to smother the pandemic and while some grit their teeth and the bod others rebel.

it's prohibition all over again but with a twist saloons hidden behind false walls are now in vogue as well as guerrilla picnics as police combed through the undergrowth for party partisans europe is just one big speakeasy. fed up in my opinion a moon favor of holding us accountable individual or rather than banning us from doing anything. the lockdown does not correspond to what it should be because people can leave italy freely while we cannot leave our region we can leave the house to visit friends during the day but if i can launch of the host 10 times to visit 10 friends i can do it through the 1st day because majority of disregarding the obligations for example they're not wearing masks they're not keeping the

minimum distance the 1st wave of covert then a 2nd and now a 3rd wave a traditional way of life has been washed away by what very much looks like a tsunami now the pandemic and there's no sign of the tell you turning anytime soon in germany for instance authorities openly admitted to creating a void of faith between them and the people now to give his name and there is no silver bullets when the pandemic but we need clarity. and resolve we need transparent and pragmatic rules so that people know where they stand mistakes have been made when it comes to testing to vaccinations to digital solutions depending as they hold up a mirror to our country reflecting our compulsion to lay down rules for everything our fear of taking risks the show meeting back and forth of responsibility so during pretty much everything for us to put on politicians to stop the spread of the virus is dissipating with every make signal they send like this one says day

the 1st of april as well as the surge of april should be defined as calm days with extensive contact restrictions and a ban on gatherings from the 1st to the 5th of april. the idea was a mistake this mistake is my mistake alone a mistake must be called a mistake and above all it must be corrected at the same time of course i know that this whole matter trygaeus more uncertainty i regret that deeply and apologize to all citizens. vaccines turned out to be no silver bullet against the corona virus prompting even more contradictions was present when give this mr zanuck like scenes of people over 65. it has been greenlighted for people over 55 with a medical condition. ok let's astra zeneca has a nature stiction from 18 to 64. the standing committee for vaccination

recommends the use of the esters any $1000.00 vaccine and those over 60 and surely over dissidents are only adding fuel to the fire of the pandemic but the more helter skelter the official response to the crisis is the more a narcotic the public mood will get as more people will be pushed and pushed into the ruinous and very very deadly arena of covert denial. we don't want to be the rules that have been imposed on us to impose an arsehole just think how to behave as they impose measures to devastating for our people we don't want to tell the readers any longer we can't go where we want we can't come together we can see our loved ones anymore and we think this is absolutely against our fundamental human rights it's not just some measure of their private lives of our rights and we're reclaiming our rights. the biggest goal we have is to end this corona

dictatorship because i suspect what is still to come. on the mid european criticism over government mishandling of the pandemic some are taking matters into their own hands the tally of businessman returns to moscow just to get a 2nd dose of the sputnik the vaccine of inoculation delays back home we've been covering his tracks nation journey in russia since day one and hoping to do more on how it all went later in the program. all nonwhite residents over the age of 16 have been offered coded shot by the u.s. state of vermont something only available there to white people over 50 now some were branded the movies pated lee racist though the governor has defended the decision. this coordinated vaccination therefore it is an important step in to working with and compensate interested community partner networks to reach some of the most historically marginalized people in vermont this is not even close to legal the 14th amendment for sure is violated here not to mention just the done

right immorality behind such a ridiculous mindset the only way to stem the tide of discriminatory racism is more discriminatory racism the month move came after a letter from racial justice activists demanding that officials prioritize nonwhite we debated the issue with expert. you know what we have here is a combination of definitely racial justice but also being strategic as we are trying to fight this pandemic and let's be honest we're developing nations the united states is simply not cutting it for how far along we should be when we compare the rates of infection going down in places like australia taiwan and even china the bottom line is that the best way to really get through this pandemic is to treat the people who have been disproportionately impacted and affected by it and that happens to be black brown and indigenous people each group has equal

access to the vaccine there's no real disparity in access if you want it you can get it it is available it isn't matter what color you are just go ahead and get it so this whole thing is not necessary at all this is not at the expense of white people in vermont it is simply saying that the people who have been impacted the most are the people that we should prioritize this is most certainly discrimination based on race and you cannot do that at all especially from the state level this is a violation of many different fronts it's completely illegal and i would be surprised if he was get away with this without at least a lot. possibly more severe penalties you have the constitution that's involved the 14th amendment prevents this type of thing from happening so i don't think this can actually happen in america or at least it shouldn't be able to according to what the law says this is not. a protection clause or rights act what it is

the institution of good logical sense and good logical strategy to get over a pin damage that has been inflicted in this country for far too long and as well as the people who have been inflicted by myriad other forms of social justice is about science and try to stick to a science as our glorious science is over here say i think the best thing to do would be to approach a problem from my scientific poll. if you from the health point of view rather than a received point of view. protestors have hit the streets of central new york over a jump in national violence against the asian community the city alone has reported these seen more than 30 anti asian attacks and warning you may find the following footage disturbing.

from march 2022 february of this year almost 4000 racially motivated attacks on asian americans have been reported nationwide those are those on chinese ethnicity were by far the worst affected and report found 2 in 3 incidents took place in california a martial arts center that has now open special self-defense classes for the most vulnerable in the community. believes it would be phil gordon for our seniors and the women who are vulnerable to be equipped with something that they could lose the gold influences it is variable right now the owner of a little gold here on the lawn believe it i don't know that we can call it that

ours is going to learn a little bit of new comparable not really like them you know there have been in charge of my friends so they know how to do this that would be a remarkable i answered. class organizers say while it's unlikely an elderly person could take on a serious attacker there are few secrets that could prevent more brutal incidents. we taught them. you know find the whip points for you can. you are we need one if like to counter attack why would you go paul wait a minute this person maybe i don't want to push it then you run them over the next 2 weekends we are going to be. giving them more techniques that they can use and then inspiring them to also once they are home to practice. the italian man has made a 2nd trip to russia in 2 months to get his 2nd dose of the sputnik the vaccine he told r.t. taylor why. the vaccine rollout has been

a debacle hard to miss for months now it's been a regular in the headlines and with more production and delivery plays on the cards it still looks like a fun piece weren't heads now waltz most e.u. citizens are waiting and hoping that the brussels somehow gets its act together always have taken things into their own hands on a sunday for nearly a boon and bread talian has decided that nuff said nuff and he wants his job now but where in the world can you get a covert vaccine at the drop of a hat while right here in russia so back in march he got on a plane from rome to moscow to get his fosters and now he is back in the capital for a round if you would have to. shift the should be verse you need to be noted it is too long to sleep europe is very

developed at the county i mean community. is good. but. because some. of those adored is not good he screws the. production year of very soon. and we have sort of big delete so this thursday we could be absolutely. wrangling and frying a few hours all waiting until the autumn even longer until he's eligible for a vaccine in italy. it was a tough choice especially what he thinks about his large family many of whom are in the at risk category getting the job was just as much about protecting them as himself talking to me feel so waved away any misgivings about sputnik v a vaccine that has despite being registered in round 60 countries in the world and

having positive reviews. in top medical journals been met with suspicion and skepticism by many for alexandria though it's easily explained because even in a pandemic there's space for a little bit of politics. because that is maybe a russian. i don't see any other problem i don't want to see any kind of course. that is produced. immediately find here in europe. there is no real zone. do not approve a. community already speak very clearly that no one. no one will see you that is not a war is not if you should i just hope that you know. priority.

for a politician will be to see you for life of people and not to i don't know to support some of the coming out of the clinic after his appointment alessandro looked like the poster boy for putting health over politics the world was. so funny vaccinated and with a certificate to prove it us andro can now fly home and safely hug his out of the parents of course getting a visa in cuba times isn't that easy alexandra invited his russian wife from being allowed into the country but a small story like his could become something much bigger given the country's vaccine. production delays no wait lists and the fact that there are hundreds of vaccination points business owners have pitched the idea of easing travel restrictions and inviting foreigners for some kind of visa free vaccination vacation they say it's

a win win we are still. just the possibility of allowing visit free travel to russia for foreigners who want to get vaccinated against covert 19 it's good to be as it was organized during the fifa world cup too but not only will it help foreigners in. russian businesses across all spheres which continue to flow its economic fallout from the pandemic i agree with 100 percent the. policy should be this one to open all possibility. which can of us need people soon as they can take a not a business idea for a test run alessandro straight off to his start here and a few of his italian friends who've also put their faith in sputnik he met up for a celebratory lunch and all of the sundry has been told to hold off on the alcohol for a few days that didn't stop his friends from toasting day's good health his future antibodies and of course international co-operation. still to

come britain will announce a covert possible scheme later today despite opposition even from the ruling party lawmakers. and hundreds of radical islamist terror group members serve prison terms of russia we ask why top u.s. based rights group considers that sentence is too harsh this story is after the break. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those with.

things. we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race based on often spirit dramatic development only really engage in disease i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back at least 300 members of a terrorist organization outlawed in russia are currently serving prison sentences

the group reportedly educated one of eisold the most notorious execution as yet it's human rights watch that is russia should not be locking up such people for their quote beliefs right ghastly have examines what some of those beliefs are. there are hundreds of his members in the penal colonies and jails like this one cross russia the problem is when you put too many of their senior figures in any one colony they full cells they begin to spread to other inmates with their fanatical ideology their recruits their accountants their radical preachers but inside also with the other junior members say they were misled and didn't realise what they were getting into one of them agreed to stick to us but of course they would approach you with a mosque they would gauge you see if you're

a recent convert who easier to work with is simple to condition a person to believe that black is white and white is black. this is does a hard life play a part and that there's always a hard life does but there are many factors to it and when a person experiences difficulty in life and you offer support to him he will trust you entirely i mean says that he had 7 no idea that he is but back live it was bad then russia it heard of. isis but his look back and he has kept the lower profile but he that has side of that was another former member that we found she was part of the leadership overseeing the female side of the local cell it woke up his horse at the now they recruit mostly the young they lack critical thinking they're trustful when you're on your rival with no parents nearby no friends it's very easy to fall under their sway their ricky says when his book would egg the youth on they would say we have to do something the introduction everywhere and this would

energize the youth with negativity push them into traveling somewhere and doing something about it his book dr dear is like college for jihad ists you graduate to do greater and more grisly things remember jihadi jordan the star of many of the ice. this beheading videos guess who helped him 5 himself yes reportedly a regular at his book the events before going on to do greater things other notable graduates include the mosque that marked behind the september 11th attacks on the twin towers and the once head of al qaida in iraq and still his maintains that it's peaceful. pounds. the most person cult imaginable moving grass was forbidden to avoid harming ferries that live in the grass indoor plants were also banned because while part of science needed something to feed on but that didn't stop them from killing 50 people with

certain gas and plumbing the murder of 4000000 his mood here is bad in germany and russia across much of the muslim world but it is largely flown under the radar in much of the west that megalomaniac out big seem almost comical but there is nothing to laugh at he's. clearly slimy presents a serious threat it's a well structured are going to zation which aims to dispose secure governments through violent uprisings with the goal of declaring an islamic state its members are trained in war zones and the legs of others are going is a chanson there especially active in crimea where the organization operated without restrictions up until 2014 so imagine the confusion when the human rights watch comes out in support of his book doctor the other members calling them quote political activists a russian military court sentenced 7 crimean tatars to prison terms ranging from 13

to 9000 years it is part of a pattern of political march of 88 prosecutions that has been happening in russia occupied crimea for the past 6 years we are human rights watch to explain how arresting here's what that. the members is politically motivated persecution they ignored the request i mean it is a difficult thing to do one argument that they made is that his look at here is legal in ukraine so i would like human rights watch to now justify one of the leaders of the group in ukraine calling for the extermination of jews and the burning of the l.g.b. t.q. community and that's over there is only one solution to israel with the blessing when all muslims united we will end this problem nothing those who know the joint statements nor old maps to the peace of mind about will that we should find the

house. small to rock on the homosexuals 1st the wall hopes or burn them and them throw rocks at them and this is the right way to punish them sometimes his butt back here is a little more conspicuous in mosques we've heard their leaders publicly call for muslims to join isis and jihad distant syria and iraq we've heard promises that the caliphates army would raise paris and decimate frogs yet no such thing in their brochures and pamphlets websites send podcasts is the group and yet it is a teacher there is such a thing as an esoteric organization it say's one thing but doesn't others and his but is an example is for external ears they speak of pacifism but to their own brothers baby talk of exterminating jews and christians and conquering the world the united states human rights watch and others of all piped up in support of

crimean tatars arrested for membership of his book the clear as they did decades ago when the soviet union fought the taliban was only when the twin towers fell and that they realized that perhaps the taliban weren't quat the heroes they were made out to be or chechen hardest freedom fighters they called them as they blew up apartment blocks and metro stations in russia of course the cheering stopped when the same ideology detonated 2 bombs at the boston marathon. i just hope that in 10 years that someone doesn't have to make an emergency services call about his with the clear blowing up a bomb. person's prime minister will unveil plans for a domestic vaccine passport as a news conference on monday afternoon barstow's then says it can help prevent another lockdown it is definitely going to be. a world in which international

travel will you. see so you can see the already other countries in the aviation industry are interested in those and there's a logic to that an n.h.s. apple or paper certificate would grant people access to public places and potentially open up international travel there are still no details on how exactly the system will work but a backlash against the move has already gathering covert status certification would be divisive and discriminatory with high levels of vaccination protecting the vulnerable and making transmission less likely we should aim to return to normal life not to put permanent restrictions in place as we start to get this virus properly under control we should start getting our freedoms back vaccine passports essentially covert id cards takers in the other direction it would be divisive effectively creating an underclass of people who are not vaccinated many of whom will be vaccinated for medical reasons it's

a major infringement on civil liberties. the parliament approved a similar system last week with the so-called digital green statistic it's expected to simplify travel within the european union as a sponsor poll finding that 7 in 10 french people see the pass as a previously throughout it and there's also skepticism as to whether the system will even work. it obviously creates a 2 tier society whereby some people will be allowed to go about their daily lives in all sorts of areas and then others will be discriminated against and be forced to remain at home forced to promote any exceptions so it creates a very very unhealthy situation within society which is why it is rejected by the judge of people it is not the best option i think of the searched short term solution many as seeing it as an option but obviously as a long term one it is a very bad idea and i think this is why it's important to see these m.p.'s hold the

government to account and ensure that this is at the very best very was which i believe that it is merely a temporary measure your back's needed and my son who's 20 years and i don't know he's going to see all dead you know it's not fair that you try will because because because i can't i think you actually do see well good on your future you can try to work hopefully will go back and it's you know we can try will i do that to convincing argument i think that. conflicted with using vaccination passport is not for the privilege there is one conflict it is because in britain we've never had id cards we've never had any real control we don't have to show in the past or health you know sort of records to complete strangers that's what i'm conflicted about rather than the fact that if there's a inequality between those people that have the backs nation and also don't because the logical being equal to the argument of privilege your argument is that healthy

people in general are privileged over 60 but that's like them that's the way the world works you know and that's a problem but i just i just i'm in the pandemic but. tomorrow i. hope you have a great day so far we'll be back in 30 minutes with the latest headlines. i'm afshin rattansi we're going underground on easter monday for

a very special episode looking at some of the biggest questions posed by both science and religion from the very beginnings of life to our place within the universe pentagon advisor neil de grasse tyson has just published cosmic queries and i asked him about myths from people believing the earth was flat to the n.t. vacs as of the coronavirus pandemic age at the time people long ago thought earth was flat it's because because to look that way and it felt that way and it kind of made sense and there's no reference for example in the bible that identifies perth as a spherical 3 dimensional object and all references that it does make have it as a flat disc or right and in one case perhaps metaphorically it referred to corners but the point is the methods and tools of science that we now embrace that involve hypothesis then testing the hypothesis no matter what your senses might otherwise tell you became so important that.
