direct from our studios in moscow this is archie international i'm shawn thomas certainly glad to have you with us. the european medicines agency has confirmed that astra zeneca job is a possibly linked to cases of unusual blood clots and that it should be listed as a very rare side effect of the vaccine artie's show dubinsky takes up the story. well the economy has confirmed that there is a very possible link to red types of blood clots with low platelets what they say is that they think this could possibly be a response to the astra zeneca job but they haven't been able to specifically pinpoint but they think i mean response could be something similar to a new moon response that's known for a drug called heparin which is a blood thinning drug that essentially interacts with aborting the body produces
7:02 pm
antibodies producing extra platelets and not causes blood clots now what they said is they investigated $62.00 cases of brain blood clotting and also a food $24.00 cases of this over the abdominal area or blood bleeding in the stomach area and it said of those cases 18 had been fatal now the majority of cases were said to be in women under the age of 16 with symptoms presenting within 2 weeks of receiving the asters and they could job despite. the e.m.a.'s stands by the fact that astra zeneca is a safe vaccine with the benefits of that job out weighing the risks the benefits of the astra zeneca vaccine in preventing qubit 19 outweigh the risks of trying to fix the problem after an very in-depth analysis has concluded. future
7:03 pm
cases of unusual blood. failing vaccination with the astra zeneca vaccine should be listed as. to facts of the vaccine when you advice will be given out to those to inoculate patients as well as those who are saving the astra zeneca job but if they show specific symptoms within a 2 week period that they should seek medical advice those symptoms include if they have persistent ted takes if there's a shortness of breath or even if they. perhaps swelling in their legs now it's not clear whether the cases that were reviewed by the safety committee include 2 deaths that are being investigated here in france the lawyer representing 2 families says that what they want is own says. they want to understand the investigation has been launched the autopsy has been requested and done the question for the moment is to
7:04 pm
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 want to understand what happened and afterwards to find those responsible who already there have been a number of questions over the safety and the efficacy of astra zeneca we know we're already hearing frogs as well as in germany and in norway the job is not only being recommended to individuals in age groups and it's also been announced on wednesday in the u.k. that under thirty's will be offered an alternative job to astra zeneca as those concerns over safety and this possible link to red blood clots continues what will be interesting now is what decisions if any national health regulators take as a result of this new information by the p.m.a. we know already that the concern over astra zeneca has meant that people are not turning up for their appointments here in france for the job the mayor of color
7:05 pm
saying that over the weekend hundreds of appointments were missed with hundreds and hundreds of doses unused because of a sense of panic over this particular vaccine. meanwhile the origin of the pandemic is still under scrutiny we spoke to a top professor who traveled to china with the world health organization to probe the origins of the pandemic dominic dwyer told our team is going underground and has been hard to get to the truth for many reasons. 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 i mean it's been so it was easy we wouldn't have had to go there in the 1st place of course so 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
7:06 pm
a number of conclusions really about what further work needed to be done clearly we can't figure out haitian 0 if you like or 'd virus ciro but we've got to go a long way to planning what needs to be done did any of the authorities in china say you shouldn't mean wuhan you should be in italy given their code without the bodies were circulating in italy in september of 2019 way before. i mean there's no doubt the virus exploded in and there's no question about that now the issue is was a virus circulating out of the 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 into 174 covert patients from december 21000 the you were requesting. that's why i sort of do a number of things chinese to do before we go through including going back looking
7:07 pm
through the last couple of months before december trying to identify potential cases that are not of missed and we insisted on that being done and they did a search and they presented that there were of course only there for a short period of time so no all that we would normally ask for in this sort of outfront investigation was given to us then but the doctor is continuing to come forward. president biden's migration policy remains under fire this time over the revelation that 2 men on a terror watch list were detained on the southern border u.s. border protection agency gave details in a news release which was swiftly withdrawn u.s. border patrol agents assigned to the al central sector and arrested to yemen a man within the last 2 months that's where identified in the terrorism watch list among the surge of migrants illegally crossing the u.s.
7:08 pm
border and being detained we now find out that among those who were detained were 2 yemeni men who were on the terrorism watch list now white house spokesperson jen psaki says this is not a common occurrence however there is widespread concern about the security of the united states amid the border surge. cartel suman traffickers and the terrorists are all trying to take advantage of biden so open borders president biden strecche list build the security police continue to put americans across the country in danger enough is enough it's time for the biden administration to get serious about stopping the senate now what's even more interesting is the report from the border patrol about the detaining of these 2 individuals has been removed from the internet according to the website and those who manage the border patrol that report somehow violated national security but at this point there are many other concerns that we've seen a 15 year high in migrants crossing the u.s.
7:09 pm
border and as this is going on as 171000 people crossed the u.s. border in march we now have the biden ministration considering options among the options they are reportedly considering is perhaps continuing the building of trump's border wall take a listen the president has communicated quite clearly his decision for the emergency to trigger the devotion of department of defense funds to the construction of the google is ended but that leaves room to make decisions as the administration as part of the administration in particular is over there will need renovation particular projects that need to be finished viewers will recall that when donald trump began building the wall the democrats fought against him pretty hard they declared the wall was immoral that it was racist and they shut down the government for $35.00 days to prevent funding from being allocated for this wall
7:10 pm
let's review what happened oh is an enron levy it's not who we are as a nation 20 times show called for i will shut down the government if i don't get my will none of us if you want to know something you've said ok you want to put them i said i'll take i was a prosecutor for many years and including the attorney general california i specialize in. and national criminal ring is a yeah that's and then wind all stopped them now at this point amid in upsurge of migrants crossing the u.s. border including potential terrorists to individuals on the f.b.i. terrorism watch list at that point and we now have a situation where democrats are possibly considering measures they once declared when donald trump proposed them and put them forward to be immoral quite an interesting turn of events a record number of migrants trying to cross america's southern border in march according to homeland security with reports suggesting the massive inflows will continue through the autumn and on the other side of the frontier in mexico where
7:11 pm
the situation is even worse refugees are gathering in makeshift camps after being rejected by the u.s. . and the fact is i've made it very clear within 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. let
7:12 pm
them know that we decided to come because the president said that he wanted to he not families that were separated as. you know it it's something we didn't expect even though the president said to us of course he would help us he still hasn't done anything. to. please really the story is very complicated it cost us a lot and everything we've been through just to end up here like cats and dogs. and. it. ended up what it was that we can collect the necessities big by this to provide for our central american brothers who are in need but.
7:13 pm
i think. these are people that are once again paying the price of politicians in that you know so you know i think you know who would have won whether it was biden or trample. or you know anyone else who either of their respective parties really the same consequence could be seen and we'd see a continuation of the policies that pushed people out north that pushed people from their homes as well as crack out 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 leadership like joe biden like. and they. are trying to score political points but we see this kind of rhetoric this welcoming open woke nanse. pushed by the democratic party but then when push comes to shove we see them
7:14 pm
backtrack on their words. jobs lost savings run out and a depression just some of the effects on the 10s of thousands of australians stranded abroad for months by one of the world's strictest lockdowns now one group has filed a human rights complaint with the united nations over their country's continued refusal to let its own citizens come home. australians say the country's travel cap means that many still cannot return up 240000 remain abroad according to the government although there are fears the real figures are far higher 5000 are listed as vulnerable we spoke to one australian stranded in russia. originally up until. about october last year i was still actively trying to get home since october i've largely given up my attempt to get to get back to my country because the restrictions is taking place make it impossible for me to buy
7:15 pm
a ticket even if i even if i am i'm looking at paying maybe $10000.00 u.s. dollars upwards and then there's the flight assistance package which the government . offices but all of those flights only leave from places like germany and paris. and someone like made if i was to leave there russia and then go to paris if i was to contract cover of it i wouldn't be eligible for that flight home because they only take people who test negative 2 to carve it on the fly so if i did that i could just be stranded somewhere else completely and i would be unable to even get back to russia if that was the case australian prime minister scott morrison had pledged to bring many if not all of those stranded by last christmas james caan kater says the ongoing situation is simply unacceptable. it says in my possible that i should not be all the terribly deprived the right to return to my home
7:16 pm

your. welcome back this is arch international pakistan is pushing to manufacture russia's new could be covered as hospitals report massive demand for the shot artie's it was done of his in 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 prices keep it stands at about $80.00 per 2 jobs of russia's need to be but well despite that despite the average salary here in pakistan being below 500 dollars a month that we've seen q. especially among younger pakistanis and lines to get russia's sputniks be we were

vaccinated to in seoul city hospital everyone seems very happy or very satisfied the overall experience of good in the sputnik scene is very good. it's a very easy process without any pain we will box unaided in up to $21.00 days to get to 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. it's partly because being offered at this hospital also in a few other hospitals. in the deception has been so positive because people would like to see it because people will realize that this is the only real forward you know and they have googled it now this process of kind of private vaccination isn't going without
7:20 pm
a hitch some venues have already reported that they have sold out and in some places like in the southern province of kharaj people had to queue for hours to get the job but in general well it is a promising trend given that pakistan hasn't avoided the fate of so many countries in the world where a certain percentage of the population went this event and the criticized and in general not trusted the process 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 pandemic vaccine is a step forward 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 against covert 19 this paves the way for further russia pakistan corporation. america's c.b.s.

news is under fire for what has been described as a deceptive edit of a press conference with florida governor ran the center says he as the clip apparently misses most of the answer the segment in the current affairs program 60 minutes featured an exchange in which a reporter effectively accuses the governor of a pay for play in florida's vaccine distribution efforts the part when the governor explains the state policy was a minute in the final cut and critics say it looks like he dodged the questions run the census is now accusing the media of lying. these are. that's why nobody trusts corporate media they're a disaster and what they're doing they knew what they were doing was a lie the republican governor was quickly defended online including from a democrat to the florida state emergency situations manager who explained in a fiery tweet that no connection should be made between
