1:02 am
gathering over astra zeneca it seems. yes that's right as those fresh diets of been raised by a top official at the european medicines agency the may there are now calls for a much better understanding about what these links potentially opportune astra zeneca these rare types of blood clots now we've been chatting to a lawyer who's representing 2 families here in france both families who lost loved ones in the days after they received the job of astra zeneca and he says that these families what they want now are answers. and. they want to understand the investigation has been launched the autopsy has been requested and done the question for the moment is to find out if it was caused by the vaccine itself or by the way it was injected but today it seems highly likely that a link exists between the astra zeneca japp and occurrence of the thrombosis we
1:03 am
want to understand what happened and afterwards to find those responsible. now as i mentioned that lawyers representing 2 cases at the moment here in france one is of a 24 year old medical student who is having their continued investigations into how he died suggesting it was potentially a blood clot in his stomach but the 2nd case the investigation for manslaughter has been opened into that one this is a case of a 38 year old woman who's a from in the south of france so she had the astra zeneca job because she's a social worker on the front line helping people throughout the pandemic and in the days after receiving that job in march she was complaining of having constant headaches as headaches got so bad she went to the doctors she received medication for that but she ended up in hospital and she later died now it's believed she died
1:04 am
from a type of brain blood clot or. rare type of brain blood clot which is the exact type of blood clot that top official from the e m a was linking to astra zeneca this is what the head of the e m a's a vaccine strategy had to say. we're trying to get the precise picture of what is happening to define in detail the syndrome due to the vaccine in my opinion we can now say it is clear there is an associate with the vaccine what causes this reaction however we still do not know now the lawyer says that both the 38 year old woman from toulouse and the 24 year old medical student from not was said to be in good health before it they both believed that they died of red types of blood clots and what he's saying for the families is that they knocked against vaccines but what they want to know is could more have been done and could that mean it could prevent other similar deaths in the future. my
1:05 am
concern and the concern of families is what we are calling preventable deaths in other words for certain people vaccine benefit risk assessment is obvious i'm speaking particularly about people over 55 years old in france the vaccine is restricted to people over 55 years of age so the benefit risk assessment should be made more details. well that concern is being felt more and more as we're finding out that there are additional possible links between. these rare types of blood clots no e.m.e.a. has stood by its decision to give the green light to astra zeneca saying that the risk benefit ratio is still in the favor of astra zeneca and health organization has also come out and said that it believes that the advantages of astra zeneca are
1:06 am
still positive so there is still you know. lot of support behind this type of vaccine but just to give you a sense how much the damage has already been done just here in france last week off to emerge that there were around 30 cases of blood clotting in the u.k. that had a direct impact some say on the inoculation program here across the mare of calis that over the weekend hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of doses of astra zeneca went left unused these were doses where people had appointments to come in and have that vaccine and i didn't turn up and said we don't want astra zeneca so the reputation of astra zeneca was already on the rocks that kalai men now has called for a national campaign here in france to explain what the side effects or a vaccine is not just a faster zelikow but also. the pfizer by on tech one too but as i said the reputation was already in the rocks and it could be this recent link by this top
1:07 am
official from the e m a it means that it could be the final blow in terms of people having any trust in this frank scene. thank you for those details than started speaking to us live from paris. one person's health regulator is mulling restricting the use of astra zeneca as covert vaccine for younger people trials on children have also been put on hold as investigations continue into a link between the jab and blood clots we got reaction on the streets of london. i had my 1st box in the good book problem mom's not get in it because she saw this from some health condition she's not getting it simply because of the butt out clots and we do actually know someone who's had a stroke since get in the vaccines i'm not sure about that you know because a lot of people has been vaccinated they're ok this will be even more side effects that we don't even know about this is just one thing they're picking out they have
1:08 am
no idea what this could cause i guess the fear is a bit bigger don't do you actual problem we've got a good public health system that keep an eye on these things and obviously they'll be looking at the latest research but while the advice to still take the vaccine i would still take the vaccine that pakistan's pushing to manufacture sputnik vs hospitals report massive demand for rations cozied vaccine. reports from the capital islamabad. pakistan has entered a new era in vaccinating its population against covert 19 while free government subsidized vaccines are still only available to the senior population and while doctors the groups of risks private companies have now also been allowed to sell the vaccine to everybody willing the price is steep it stands at about $80.00 per 2 jobs of russia's would need to be but well despite that despite the average salary here in pakistan being below 5 $100.00 a month that we've seen q.
1:09 am
was especially among younger pakistanis and lines to get russia's sputniks be we were vaccinated to even sell seats acosta so everyone seems to be very satisfied the overall experience of good in the sputnik vaccine is very good. it's a very easy process without any pain we will need it and after 21 days we'll get the 2nd dose to finish the process. my motive is to protect myself and my family when we feel safe and secure it will start a trickle down effect there is talk about herd immunity my message is that those who can afford it should be vaccinated as soon as possible. because being offered at this hospital also in a few other hospitals. in the deception has been so positive because people would like to work simply because people realize it is the only way we are for that they have a cool dude now this process of kind of private vaccination isn't going without
1:10 am
a hitch some venues have already reported that they have sold out and in some places like in the southern province of people had to queue for hours to get the job but in general well it is a promising trend given that pakistan has and avoided the fate of so many countries in the world where a certain percentage of the population went this event and the critters. and in general not trusted the producers of vaccination and altogether pakistan has long shown interest in the russian vaccines russia has done an excellent job of helping the world fight the brain damage this vaccine is the poor in this direction we are committed to attract investments to pakistan and if possible producing this vaccine in our country but now that so many people in pakistan have shown that they want to get the vaccine that they are sensible that they want to get themselves protected
1:11 am
against covert 19 this paves the way for further russia pakistan corporation. as we've spoken to a top professor who traveled to china with the world health organization to probe the origins of the pandemic dominic dwyer told r.t. he's going underground it's been hard to get the truth for many reasons you can watch the full interview here throughout the day. what did you find because as far as where we've seen in the media it's kind of inconclusive you can't even conclude it came from china clearly it's inconclusive the minute it was easy we wouldn't have had to go there in the 1st place of course this is terribly complex of the science is complex the politics is complex but look we went through a large amount of data provided by the chinese you know a number of different areas and made a number of conclusions really about what further work needed to be done clearly we can't figure out a patient 0 if you like or 'd virus ciro but we've got to go
1:12 am
a long way to planning what needs to be done did any of the authorities in china say you shouldn't me who you should be in italy given their code without the bodies were circulating in italy in september of 2019 way before december i mean there's no doubt the virus exploded in with them there's no question about that now the issue is was the virus circulating in other parts of the world around that time or even a bit before and yes there is evidence mutually it's a bit from spain and some from france or some from the united kingdom and what did you feel when reportedly you weren't given some of the data you wanted i mean have you got this rule patient going to 174 covert patients from december 21000 the who are requesting that so i said look there are a number of things we are such chinese side to do before we got there including going back to looking through the last couple of months before december trying to
1:13 am
identify potential cases that they might have missed and we insisted on the work being done and they did it and they presented that work there were of course only there for a short period of time so not all the data that we would normally ask for in this sort of outbreak investigation was given to us then but the doubters continue to come forward. a black 17 year old has been rushed to hospital after suffering injuries in an undercover police arrest officers say they got the wrong person i think they quote regret the mistake we spoke to the boy's godfather hearsays the error it was racially motivated he has some injuries and deaths in recent trauma so we're just trying to keep an eye on him and make sure that here is the opportunity to get all of the supports that we see research that experience i believe it's motivated by race to anytime that you profile
1:14 am
a black man. as a black or you are vice versa and united able to differentiate you know the physical features and the solution features but more importantly after the arrest and after the boy identified himself he was injured and he was taken to hospital by ambulance he remained handcuffed so they knew it wasn't who they were looking for but they didn't remove the handcuffs he was handcuffed in the hospital he was asking for his mother. they didn't call her but a 17 year old was cleared and taken to hospital due to the injuries he suffered during arrest he was later charged for failing to comply with a court order not to drive the suspects the police have mistaken the teenager for a 21 year old black man who is wanted for kidnapping and unrelated murder of thora ts for their part say they were gretsch this mistake insisting an internal review to examine these events will be launched will regret this mistake and the distress
1:15 am
this is cause this young man and his family we have since made contact with the family representative to further discussions and offer our support. i was shocked and i was angry and i initially didn't even know where to begin and that you know how to process it i were going to hold them accountable it's a response the family wants justice the family wants the truth is earned their family wants them to acknowledge the wrongdoing and the harm that was caused and to repair it so i'm quite certain we will be engaging with. both police services both toronto and peel region to to resolve this issue on behalf of the family and the community and everyone that's been impacted they're not going to change themselves and they're not willing to yield to public pressure she to to other people change them so no i don't think they can be changed. still
1:16 am
to come 20 blocks or not see america correspondent after she posted a once classified u.s. military video we'll speak to the reporter after this short break.
1:17 am
the world is driven by a dreamer shaped by one person of those but. i am. no dairy thinks. we dare to ask. welcome back to the record number as my going to try to cross america's southern border in march with a report suggesting the massive inflows will continue through to the autumn and on
1:18 am
the other side of the front say the situation's even worse with refugees gathering in makeshift camps off the being rejected by the u.s. . and the fact is i've made it very clear within a 100 days i'm going to send to the united states congress a pathway to citizenship for over 11000000 undocumented people and all of those so-called dreamers those docket kids they're going to be immediately certified again to be able to stay in this country and put on a path to citizenship. label
1:19 am
and i think if we decided to come because the president said that she wanted to he not families that were separated as many know is that it's something we didn't expect even though the president said to us of course he would hope has he still hasn't done anything. but please really the story is very complicated because there's a lot and everything we've been through just to end up here like cats and dogs. we were. originally. leaving and we've been able to eat a. lot more than those that we can collect the necessities bit by bit to provide for our central american brothers who are in need. of.
1:20 am
a new. piece of people that are once again paying the price of politicians in that so you know i think the matter who would have won whether it was biden or crump or you know anyone else either of their respective parties really the same consequence would be seen and we'd see a continuation of the policies that push people up north that push people from their homes as well as crack down here in the united states is kind of part of the bigger problem in the democratic party i think the democratic party likes to position itself as this kind of alternative to the quote unquote white nationalist republican party etc and so they say things particularly those at the top the leadership like joe biden like our parents and they are trying to score political points that we see this kind of rhetoric this welcoming open woke nance.
1:21 am
pushed by the democratic party but then when push comes to shove we see them backtrack on their words. twitter how suspended the account often are tea america correspondent only lifting the ban often rachel blevins deleted this video showing alleged a u.s. war crimes warning you may find the following footage disturbing. finest released by wiki leaks in 2010 the once classified u.s. military video appears to show the indiscriminate shooting of more than a dozen civilians in a panic attacks up a from an american helicopter among those killed were 2 employees of the voice has news agency wiki leaks set it up saying the video from a number of whistleblower as rachel blevins explained what twitter told. so i was simply given a notice in which is that i was locked out of my account and the only way to get back into my account was to take down that tweet with that video and now they said
1:22 am
that they were doing this because i violated their graphic content policy essentially because in that video you were watching civilians and journalists lose their lives and the context that they give behind that is to say that for the families of those victims that would be hard to watch that would be hard for that footage to be out there and it's also even more disturbing for those families to know that even though that footage has been out there the attackers the murderers who are responsible still have not been brought to justice over the years the video that 20 claims breaks its rules has been posted by many other uses but it posed as a nazi journalist trickett it system but blevins insists that a low ground sake still needs to be brought to the public's attention. here in the united states are major media organizations like c.n.n. or fox news they don't show you footage like that they don't show you how horrific it is when the u.s. military commits these terrible war crimes in other countries they don't tell you
1:23 am
what is actually going on with this so-called war on terrorism and yet it's people like us on to have taken the steps to put that information out there to bring the actual footage to light to show the public public that and now at the same time you see the u.s. government going through from obama to now by even attacking us on going after him trying to get his head on a platter more or less i think that what we're seeing is. increasing moves on the part of these digital corporations and we know nothing about them they're completely opaque they know everything about us as forms of censorship for the ruling elite in particular the establishment elites in the republican in the democratic party who are blocking their critics on the left or the right. you have to remember that during the obama administration and barack obama's vice president was of course joe biden expanded the targeted assassinations through militarized
1:24 am
drone drones and there's complete continuity between republican and democratic administrations on this issue which is why the biden ministration has supported the appeal in london to get trillion songe extradited to the united states. residents of more than $300.00 homes in southwest florida have been under threat of flooding from a waste water reservoir the local authorities had to take drastic measures to stop the leak it including pumping out waste water as i.q. way says it's closing roads entire way it's now 3 days later the risk of catastrophe has lowered and the residents have been allowed to return home however the potential risk for people as well as ecological concerns remain. or earlier.
1:25 am
this is one of the catastrophic failures of our with our mismanagement the government should be doing a cleansing per episode like this to prevent. so that mrs what happens when they don't we are. we're out of things like that going on we haven't been doing our job environmentally for number of years now and in florida has been this is the same way we were we were behind on protecting the environment we're not are even keeping up with that with assaults on
1:26 am
florida's ecosystems. from development see that iraq is. a soyuz rocket as is imposition on the launch pad at the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan is due to blast off for the international space station are friday a few days before russia marks the 60th anniversary of you or guarin becoming the 1st person and space constantine rushkoff is following the latest mission. well for those who are not involved in the space program itself this is arguably the best moment to see the rocket up close when they transfer it from an assembly hangar to the launch pad and you know i mean wow just look how look how big it is and you know i got to tell you something that i watched this on t.v. many times but this is absolutely different when you see something like this in
1:27 am
person by the way the sawyers rocket is 50 meters long and it weighs over a 300 tons and of course it takes a base to retrain even to haul it they move it slowly and carefully because as you can see we can move along in more alaska pop with it there's no need for haste at this moment because it's important not to disrupt the assembled rocket just days before liftoff the reason why the soyuz rocket is so big because it needs a lot of fuel to overcome gravity and that's what a space rocket basically is is just a massive fuel tank up to 90 percent of it burns out during the flight see it was in the past and then used parts simply fall back to earth and that's why by the way that was one of the reason why baikonur was built. in sparsely populated steps of kazakhstan because you don't want used parts of rocket to fall on someone's house the spacecraft itself is much smaller if you compare with what the rest of the
1:28 am
rocket sits right on the tip of the rocket inside a capsule let's go in to protect the space crew while they're going to make blast their way to orbit. and this time we have 2 russian cosmonauts and want to merican astro. despite a vastly have in space is dragon program this still dependent on russia and pay the country to stand its astronauts into space and a way to preparation is in full swing now his passion for russia's peter dubrovsky this is going to be his 1st ever space flight leg novitsky now the russian crew member and space ships captain on the other hand has more experience he's already has 2 space missions under his belt the same goes for mark bonner hey who's not
