fresh protests in europe over covert restrictions as mixed messages from governments leave people confused and angry. we. come together we can see our loved ones anymore and we think this is absolutely against our fundamental human rights the state of vermont defends prioritising nonwhite residence for the japanese a move that is racist. hate crimes in the united states center in california the state by far the worst affected open self-defense classes for the most vulnerable. of another scandal hits you case forces questions are

raised over a probe into 2 british a limp ians and how they were tested for steroids. that live from moscow this season welcome to the program 1st a furious growing in europe and apparently contradictory curfews and lock downs during a 3rd wave of the pandemic a ghost town of reports next on rising resistance to measures that some think 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 bite 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 house to visit friends during the day but if i call 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 really get to sneak in 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 if they 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 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 a reason we won't give this senate vaccine to people over 65. if it has been greenlighted for people over 55 with a medical condition that. 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 believe 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 our 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. and a videotaping criticism over government mishandling of the pandemic some are taking matters into their own hands and it's only a businessman returns to moscow just to get a 2nd dose of the sputnik v. vaccine for an occupation the laid back home we've been covering his vaccination journey in russia since day one bring you more on it i would all went a little bit later in this political. time in the u.s. state of vermont all nonwhite residents over the age of 16 have been offered covert shots something only available that the white people over the age of 50 some a brother the move patiently racist although the governor defended the decision this coordinated vaccination therefore it is an important step in to working with any 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 downright immorality behind such a ridiculous mindset the only way to stem the tide of discriminatory racism is more discriminatory racism of the move came after a letter from racial justice activists demanding officials prioritize nonwhite we put the issue up for debate. 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 a group has equal access to the vaccine there's no real disparity as far as access

if you want you can get it if it's available it doesn'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 lawsuit and at worse possibly more severe penalties 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 equal protection clause or the civil rights act of what it is the institution of good logical sense and good logical strategy to get over

a pin damage that has been inflict in this country for far too long and as well as the people who have been inflicted by myriad other forms of social injustice 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 a health point of view rather than a racist point of view. but it is a flat in eastern ukraine with reports coming in almost daily of firefights and shelling on the frontline rebels in the rest of donetsk region claiming ukrainian drone strike killed a 4 year old boy kiev though insists the rebels version of events doesn't add up of the accusations a crude propaganda designed to stir the hatred you also formed into open possible to corroborate the claims but a team from all ripley video agency attended to the boy's funeral and spoke to his grandmother. that i do understand this grief you have to go

through it it's really hard just parents are beside themselves with grief especially his mother i don't care that the house was damaged but why did this child have to suffer does he should someone have something or did he say a bad thing to someone he was just a child only poor years old ringback and then tional in god's eyes as tensions ratchet in eastern ukraine top officials and military style finky have been laying the blame for the escalation of russia's door here's our senior correspondent for i guess the. the seas far or what there was of it is crashing and burning under a sustained barras from both sides the only see has the numbers more than a 1000 violations most of them artillery exchanges were detected on april 3rd ukraine's propaganda machine is also churning it is now officially calling thousands of its own citizens russian militias who are to blame the party line says

for everything corrina ukraine and its partners are taking note of russia's systemic escalation of the security situation and the nats regions and in the republic of crimea all of this is happening against the background of the russian federation and willingness to reaffirm its commitment to the cease fire or the current escalation by the russian federation the systemic and the largest in recent years a common goal is victory in the war against the aggressors and to ensure a stable peace to restore the territorial integrity of ukraine we will need to consolidate efforts of all the ukrainian people all ukrainian people apart from the ones they now call russian militias in a bid to discredit them their beliefs and their grievances probably not the best idea if you want stable peace but there are 2 major takeaways from their recent statements 1st after years of stalling delaying and torpedoing negotiations here of

seems to be entertaining the idea of a military solution to the civil war victory by brute force the other takeaway is that ukraine has virtually because war and russia officially naming it the russian ukrainian conflict russia isn't even a party in this civil war and its military was involved it would be over there e very quickly that much is obvious if scouting imputing the russian army is moving within lot. territory in the directions it deems necessary in the shape and form it sees fit to ensure the security of our country this shouldn't concern anyone in the slightest russia poses no threat to any country in the world and that of course includes ukraine russia always pays very close attention to its own security clearance to ukrainian president probably not helped by dismal ratings his seemingly bet on calm for a day ship is military has issued

a statement warning moscow that the us promised it won't leave ukraine alone and it won't let russia's aggressive plans materialize the state department has confirmed this ukraine's own aggressive plans it seems get a pass the americans should not be concerned by what russia is doing but rather look at kiev's unacceptable behavior which not only fails to implement them and set of measures but even denies degree mous in a manner that has become an ever more provocative if i were us colleagues were to focus and it would really facilitates to belittle a lot all hope is yet lost there is still a chance that cooler heads will speak out that they'll stop this escalation and will cause countless lives and achieve nothing but that's going to take an international effort rather than egging ukraine on with promises of support and righteousness as has been washington's policy so far. last hour i talked to former

u.n. weapons inspector and u.s. marines intelligence officer scott ritter he thinks the flare up of the fighting is being driven by cancer economic concerns the cravings also understand that they could very well be being put in a very difficult economic situation in the months and years ahead if north stream too is completed and russia decides to stop transmitting gas through ukraine depriving ukraine of billions of dollars in revenue there will be an economic crisis so i think ukraine is anticipating this and seeking to promote a euro or at least advertise the kinds of to a military solution in hopes that nato in europe will intervene politically and diplomatically on their side to get a resolution to this issue or to stop north stream to unless is in support of the ukrainian objectives of ukraine is being led to believe that there will be support and there will be but the support will be military the support will be diplomatic or political but the united states is not going to deploy military forces to fight

on the soil of ukraine against the russian army it just isn't going to happen. this is out say still to come another scandal hits u.k. support as questions are raised over a probe into 2 british and opinions and how they were tested for steroids we'll talk you through that upon our stories after the break. ukraine is back in the news and not in a good way escalating rhetoric which could lead to more conflict within ukraine who is driving this impending conflict again block or is this all about isolating russia. the world is driven by shaped by one person.

in a day or thinks. we dare to ask. you know a lot of people speculate why they're not god exists or not. the one thing that i can guarantee does not exist financial regulators. hello again protesters have rallied in central new york over a spike in violence against the asian community has the city seen an increase in anti asian attacks over the last few weeks people are about to show you video of

some attacks which you might find upsetting. from march 2020 to february 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 report found that 2 out of every 3 incidents took place in california martial arts center in the state is now open special self-defense classes for the most vulnerable in the community. it would be still good for our

seniors and the one who are vulnerable to be equipped with something that they could lose the ability to influence it is. trying. to learn to be different i don't know that our family not only that but something comparable if you know a little bit and show it to my friends so they know how to do this that would make themselves. a class organizers say that while it's unlikely that an elderly person could take on a serious attack and there are a few secrets that could prevent more brutal assault. we taught them. you know find a weak point where you can counter attack you only need one effective counter attack that would be attack go off wait a minute this person can write maybe i don't want to push you 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.

it's been revealed the u.k. anti-doping agency led a little impugns investigate themselves after testing positive for steroids and subsequently cleared the athletes then holcomb to get more details earlier from correspondent jacqueline booga. well right now we have front and center to a british 2012 a limp ians that would be hurdler rhys williams and the runner gareth warburton now back in 2014 they both tested positive for steroids but they blamed supplements that they had taken saying that they had been contaminated so of course at the time tests were carried out and it was found that those supplements had been contaminated and the 2 were let off with a 4 and 6 month suspension respectively and you can decision at the time said that the athletes were victims but they had brought the matter on themselves thus the suspension so case closed right well it was until right now the mail on sunday has come out with a report that has turned all of that upside down 1st of all they say that the pair

themselves arrange the testing of those supplements and allowed that had been recommended to them but had no you cats over vision of it whatsoever there was no oversight of those testing facilities at all and as i said that analysis at the time came back saying that the supplements had been contaminated but here's the kicker the manufacturer of the supplements at this point has come out saying at the time we did testing as well and found no contamination of ourselves at least while the supplements were still on our premises so then why is there that discrepancy now you can't spokesperson has told the mail on sunday that they weren't aware of that part of the story that the manufacturer had done their own testing but of course underwater code you can't should be the one carrying out these investigations themselves not allowing possibly guilty parties to be doing that we contacted wada who said that they have been made aware of these latest developments largest independent intelligence and investigations department has indicated to us

that it will include a few elements in the investigation it launched 2 weeks ago into historically geishas in the u.k. because it was built the 1st other gratian sort of come out over the last couple of weeks regarding the doping allegations what investigation is water talking about and making the statement well it's. you cat is having a really rough time of it as of late it would seem what they're referring to there is the fact that even before this latest appeal of all with this hardware and the runner cat was being looked at already over a very very similar case only difference is the sport itself it turns out that british cycling was also apparently allowing to conduct their own investigations a few years back as well again after positive test had occurred so of course there are now investigations by wada everyone's looking at this very closely to see what happens and now we know that the chain of custody is possibly been completely called into question in these cases and it's a question of in how many other cases as well and we can just sit back and wait and

see how big the fallout is almost kobe sports columnist out of more says the whole process seems some will be that there are many other issues in the u.k. spalted warrant examination divine beings in war were very very weak because if we see original order although if you were are you going to face. it you need to upgrade your own to the dentist so it's relatively standers whoever it is of the true or the sort of going pixel to. it is very very unique will again it's not going to all towards where you would go to cause for example the court of arbitration for sport this would just be you know we're seniors so in one way it looks a bit dodgy we're going to wait it is going to. us not a great draw says process as it is we don't ask what's been there in the system what else is there to be found by saying you don't do or soused course it's not just the point that they don't these are the sort of audit they should be. all just

. or you could support. the taliban's made a 2nd trip to russia or in 2 months to get his 2nd dose of the sputnik the covert vaccine he's been telling us he's saskia taito 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 2 days on the cards it still looks like a fun piece words i had no 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 rather 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's back in the capital for

a round if i have to. shift the should be verse you need to be no tune. to a long time honestly europe is very developed at the county i mean community. is good. but. because some. of those a door is not good and the screen is that we don't do our 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 she's eligible for a vaccine in italy for her son drew 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 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. the. problem is that these media russian. i don't see any other problem i don't want to see any kind of course. that is producer the united states immediately find here in europe. there is no real zone. do not approve a. community already speak very clearly that no.

no one will see you that is not water is not if he should i just hope that you know . priority. for a politician will be to save 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 everybody was. so funny vaccinated and with a certificate to prove it us andro can now fly home and safely hug his out to the parents of course getting a visa in cuba times isn't easy on a sondre you can buy his russian wife for 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 the 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 official rules but foreigners in desperate need to produce is 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 all possibility. which can of us need people soon as they can take a not business idea for a test run alessandro straight off to his shot he and a few of his atari and friends who've also put their faith in sputnik we met up for a celebratory lunch and while alessandro has been told to hold off on the out. a

hole for a few days that didn't stop his friends from toasting day is good health his future antibodies and of course international cooperation. makes one of the world's best known scientists shines a light song so the biggest questions within the universe let's meet american astrophysicist neil de grasse tyson he's a prolific t.v. and radio show host and also the author of a popular series of science books called cosmic queries and he's been talking at length to return sea in the latest edition of going underground which you can watch any time on r.t. dot com. powerful elites come up again and again in your latest book trying to trying to stop science as it was very aware about the power of master visit if your discoveries conflict with prevailing political cultural religious forces these are forces that historically have always controlled society

yeah they'll be resistance for you can you have to expect that because people in power do not relinquish power easily but at the end of the day or at the end of the decade or the century or the millennium nature is the ultimate judge jury and executioner of any idea what is the boy of spending money on a telescope think of the repair being sent off like that let alone what's happening on mars in the freezing cold martian surface when there are people in your country freezing to death literally in texas that on the 40000000 on food stamps maybe the real answer is that nasa should run texas. if nasa can put a probe on mars they could run texas in a way that people will not be without heat i guarantee it all right so i think the problem is not do we do this or that it is are the right people making the right

decisions in the right place what's missing in our society and perhaps in other places around the world is people see it in some cases as some kind of handout here's a handout to nasa here's the age keep the scientists happy without thinking of it as an investment in the economic stability of your future and if you do not feed that pipeline from the beginning and keep it going throughout you are sowing the seeds of bankruptcy well let me just say of economic hardship of your nation because you are of your priorities have valued things that do not think about the future the way stem investments do. so you can watch that on. you tube channel right now for us in the moscow newsroom finale is going to update in a little.
