problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see me 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 at their dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer soon is to blame patients doctors manufacturers the governments of . the. french protests in europe over covert restrictions as mixed messages from governments leave people both confused and angry we go over we work we can't come together we can't see our loved ones anymore we think this is

absolutely against our fundamental human rights the u.s. state of the monks defends prioritising nonwhite residence for the codes it job moves as some have condemned as racist. my decision nancy asian hate crimes in the u.s. a martial arts center in california the state by father was defected open self-defense classes for the most vulnerable. a warm welcome to you you're watching us he international with me nicky aaron. now you appeared serious drawing that's apparently contradictory cus you sounds lockdowns over a 3rd wave of the pandemic it goes down those reports on rising resistance to measure is this something violates 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 abide 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 youths are fed up in my opinion

a moon in 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 host to visit friends during the day if i call out of the host 10 times to visit 10 friends i can do it the vast 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 tide turning anytime soon in germany for instance authorities openly admitted to creating a void of faith between them and the people. 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 vaccinations to digital solutions the pandemic is the hold up a mirror to our country reflecting our compulsion to lay down rules for everything our fear of taking risks the shunting back and forth of responsibility so during pretty much everything trust put in 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 and 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 triggers more uncertainty i regret that deeply and apologized to

all citizens vaccines turned out to be no silver bullet against the coronavirus prompting even more contradictions we won't give this senate vaccine to people over 65 it has been greenlighted for people over 55 with a medical condition 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 are pushed into the ruinous and very very deadly arena of covert denial. we don't want to obey the rules that have been imposed on us they impose on us how to think

how to behave they impose measures that are 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't see our loved ones anymore 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 and amid european criticism of the government's mishandling of the pandemic some are taking matters into their own hands italian businessman returns to moscow just to get a 2nd dose of the sputnik the vaccine over in the kill asian delays back home we've been covering his vaccination journey in russia since day one and will bring you more on how it all went later in the program. all nonwhite residents over the age of 16 have been offered covert shots by the u.s.

state of vermont something only available there to white people over 50 some are branded the move paid to legal racists though the governor defended the decision this coordinated vaccination therefore it is an important step in the 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 vermont's move came after a letter from racial justice activists demanding that officials prioritize nonwhites we debated the issue with experts. 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 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 a group has equal access to the vaccine there's no real disparity access if you want you can get it if it's 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 completely illegal and i would be surprised if he was get away with this without at least a lot of. 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 should be able to according to what the law says this is not. a violation of the protection clause. rights act what it is the institution of good logical sense and good logical strategy to get over a pin damage that has been looked 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 point. view from the health point of view rather than a received point of view. protesters have hit the streets of central new york

over a jump in national violence against the asian community this is he alone has reportedly seen more than 30 anti asian attacks a warning you may find the following footage disturbing. from march 2022 said be wary of this year almost 4000 racially motivated attacks on asian americans have been reported nationwide those of chinese ethnicity were by far the worst affected or report found 2 in story incidents took place in california

a martial arts center that has now opened special self-defense classes for the most vulnerable in the community. believe 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 ali moore and i love a. lot of the leader but i don't know that we're going to want that ours is going to learn a little bit up with some people not really like them you know there have been and shards of my friends don't even know how that is that would be a remarkable number 7 our. 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. you know find the weak points where you can't counter attack you only need one if i counter attack i would be attacked go off wait a minute this person can write maybe i don't want to push then you run 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. and i talian 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. saskia taylor why. the vaccine rollout has been a debacle hard to mess 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 word ahead now waltz most e.u. citizens are waiting and hoping that the brussels somehow gets its act together others have taken things into their own hands on a sunday for nearly a boon and bread talian has decided that monopsony off and he wants his job now but

why 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 no 2 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 and the screen is that we don't own 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 the vaccine that has despite being registered in round 60 countries in the world and having positive or. 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. i don't see any other problem i don't want to see any kind of course. cedar. fire is a model that is produced. immediately find here in europe.

there is no reason. to not approve a. community already speak very clearly that no one. no one will see that is not water that is not if he should i just hope that you know. priority. for a politician will be the life of people and not to i don't know the support of some of the coming out of the clinic after his appointment alessandro looked like the poster boy for putting health over politics. it was. so funny vaccinated and with a certificate to prove it us andro can now fly home and safely hug his ultimate parents of course getting a visa in cuba times isn't that easy alexandra invited his russian wife 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 just a possibility of allowing visit free travel to russia or foreigners who want to get vaccinated against covert 19 it could be as it was organized here and officials but not only will it help foreigners in desperate need but it will russian businesses across all spheres which continue to fight economic fallout from the pandemic i agree with 100 percent the. policy should be this one. to open them all to see believe or we can of us need people soon as they can take

a not business idea for a test run alessandro straight off to his shop he 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 to his good health his future antibodies and of course international co-operation. still to come britain will announce a cosy possible scheme later today despite opposition even from ruling party lawmakers. and hundreds of radical islamist terror group members serve prison terms in russia we all see why a top u.s. based rights group considers their sentence is too harsh this story after the break .

the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person those. who dares thinks. we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy the infante shouldn't let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to resist 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 the most notorious execution as it has human rights watch says russia should not be locking up such people for that quote beliefs. examines what some of those beliefs are. there are hundreds of his members in the penal colonies and jails like this what across russia the problem is when you put too many of their senior figures it anyone calling it the full cells they begin to spread and who is that other inmates with their fanatical

ideology their recruiters their accountants their radical preachers but inside also with them the junior members say they were misled didn't realize what they were getting into one of them agreed to speak 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 is always there is 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 no where provocative but he that has side of it 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 their trustful when you're on your arrival with no parents nearby no friends it's very easy to fall under their sway their ricky says when his buddha would egg the youth on they would say we have to do something the internet 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 ice. this is beheading videos guess who helped him find himself yes reportedly a regular at his book the events before going on to do greater things other notable graduates include the mosque that marred 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 wild parra 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 has largely flown under the radar in much of the west that megalomaniac at bisham 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 chanst they're 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 dr 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 the. 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 all or nothing those who know the joint statements know roadmaps to peace of mind about will that we should find the house small to rock on the homosexuals 1st the wall we have to 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 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 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 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. buttons prime minister will unveil plans for domestic vaccine passport as a news conference on monday afternoon barristers and 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. and their chest apple or paper certificates would call on 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 moves that is 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. parliament approved a similar system last week with the so-called digital green certificates are expected to simplify travel within the european union last despite a poll finding that 7 in 10 french people see the pass as a privacy threat is 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 the exceptions so it creates

a very very unhealthy situation within society which is why it is rejected by a majority of people it is not the best option i think other such a short term solution many seeing is 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 worst whichever way you look at it is merely a temporary measure there is about conflict it is because in britain we never had id cards we've never had any real control we don't have to show in the past or health your sort of record 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 vaccination and also don't because the logical being equal the argument of privilege argument is that healthy people

in general are privileged over 6 people but that's like that's the way the world works you know and that's a problem that exists not just in the in the pandemic but throughout to our lives. well thanks for keeping us company here on r.t. international that's all from me for today but daniel hawkins will be here in 30 minutes with all the latest news from across the world.

problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see me very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids oids invaded 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. seem wrong. just don't all. get to shape out. and engage.
