patients doctors manufacturers. as e.u. member states remain splits on restricting the astra zeneca job brussels fears public confidence in the shots could be faltering. the media is going to ask since it has been shown there are people who have unfortunately died after getting vaccinated of one thing the risk is low it's in their best interest i think we don't know what to trust part you'll be to the dark. and emotional day in space history a soyuz rocket carrying 2 russian cosmonauts and the american astronauts last saw off to the international space based station just a few days before the 60th anniversary of human space travel.

gemini were vales plans for talks with moscow to buy a sputnik wii as long as the jobs are approved by pressing. a very warm welcome from our team here in moscow you're watching r.t. international with me to care and. now we start in europe where governments are split on restricting the astra zeneca job on thursday brussels warns that without a unified response public confidence and it'll kill ation could falter we called reaction on the streets of paris. it's confusing yes because to say that the laws change from one country to another while the product is the same we wonder on which study they are based those who had complications were rather young so they said let's stop it for the young but not for the old well i mean it's weird their

management of the thing is not clear. for me there is a risk since it has been shown that there are people who have unfortunately died after getting vaccinated it is important to get out of this health crisis and therefore we have to weigh the benefits and the risks when you do something the risk is low in their best interest i think so they are never going to say that the risk is high and so that's really that doesn't surprise me confusing there is a bit of confusion we don't know what to trust so i feel a bit of the dark concerns over a potential link between astra zeneca and red blood clots is exposing the latest divisions within the e.u. after the book's agency that evaluates in supervises medicinal products that may once again said the benefits of the vaccine weigh the risks but saying that blood clots should be listed as a rare so i diffract not although we're convinced and measures have been taken it's

really in spain of joint drunks with germany deciding to limit the job to those who are over the age of 60 belgium has followed suit with france now only recommending astra zeneca for those over $55.00 but those differences are causing a headache for brussels it's worried that without a common policy towards astra zeneca trust in vaccinations could be eroded commissioner as a member states to ask experts to work with him up to the hokie coherent approach across the region through their guidance and analysis of the extremely important we want to avoid. course the 6 nations however it may be that this ship has already sailed here in front there have been reports of people not turning up with a coup the vaccination if it's astra zeneca and confusion over who should and who

shouldn't have it is right there is also a question to be a last about why certain countries are making unilateral decisions against deep voice of the may feel uncertain about maybe simple the head of germany's vaccine commission said the a.m.a. evaluates vaccines based on what's of benefit to all in the e.u. individual countries though can be more picky in germany we have a slightly different situation because we're not so dependent on the astra zeneca vaccine and we can postpone vaccines and thereby achieve the same effect but in the end we still have the risk of these serious side effects in a certain age group over in the u.k. a new restrictions on astra zeneca or even tighter than those that have been taken by the european neighbors the previously the u.k. dismissed questions raised about the jab now government committee is recommending that healthy people under 30 are provided with

a different fact seen adults who are aged 18 to 29 years old should be offered an alternative covert night in fact seen in preference to the astra zeneca vaccine regulators are now would voicing that astra zeneca provide another update on possible side effects and while for some the idea that they have a toy any chance of developing a fatal blood clot may be too much others say that they will gladly take the risk in a bid to put an end to the country's nightmare jollity will be out see paris germany's health minister has announced the country is in negotiations to buy the sputnik the shock from russia once the vaccine has the e.u. approval inspan expects deliveries as soon as possible with more on the story his r.t. is peter all of. well what we are seeing is the early stages of talks between germany and the russian direct investment fund for the for berlin buying doses of the

sputnik the vaccine these talks were called firmed by health minister yen spahn on thursday. the e.u. has said that the sputnik vaccine will not be part of the joint procurement program for vaccines that system this all for $11.00 for all system of the e.u. commission buys in vaccines and then distributes them so well this is seen is germany take an independent route in which they're looking to you to buy the sputnik vaccine we've heard time and time again from angola merkel that she was keen to use the sputnik the vaccine once it gets a.m.a. approval and certainly that is what we heard from again spawn again on thursday saying that once the european medicines agency give sputnik be the green light germany is more than happy to use it the announcement from the end spun that germany as a country would be in negotiations to buy sputnik became shortly after markets

zoraida who's the leader of the state of bavaria said that the variac had agreed what he called a preliminary deal with russia to buy 2 and a half 1000000 doses of the sputnik vaccine you know we're doing to give sputnik it's approved in europe and the very it will receive additional vaccine doses i think it's 2500000 doses probably in july through this company that is operating in bavaria to then once again increase the additional capacity for vaccinations. while looking at the reception to the sputnik vaccine here in germany it's pretty positive you go of polling shows 55 percent of germans say they'd be more than happy to take a sputnik jab politicians and local leaders as well also on the side with getting the sputnik the vaccine into the arsenal that germany can use against the corona virus we vaccinate vaccinate vaccinate but when we need is the quantity and that's why the german government should finally sign contracts for sputnik be they should

do their homework. every available vaccine has to be used russia is a great land of science and i don't have the slightest doubt that scientists there are capable of producing an effect of facts ian not everybody is as positive as stefan viol who's the leader of the state of lower saxony said that his state wouldn't be entering into any side deals like that very or done saying they would stick to the agreement that had been agreed with the european union also there was an air of caution from the health minister as he announced that these talks were going on to buy sputnik he said never mind any debate about whether germany should buy the code but not could all well prove to be a mirage because what was important was whether germany could receive doses of the job in the next 2 to 5 months because if they can't they already have deals in place that would provide germany with what they see is enough maxine's to vaccinate

their population what they need is these jobs in the immediate time for in an immediate timeframe in order to get them into people's arms straight away 59 countries have already given approval to the sputnik the vaccine once the made gives that green light for use of it in the european union we're expecting a lot more nations to follow the line that it's being led by hungary have already started vaccinating using it without that even a approval expecting many more nations to jump on as well the sputnik the vaccine from its face trials of space 3 trials receive just over 91 percent effective rate against the covert 19 vaccine that was according to statistics that were published in the lancet medical journal. it's an emotional moment for people well why doubt particularly for the families of those taking off as the is rocket has launched from catholic stands baikonur cosmodrome taking 2 russians and an

american to the international space station so 3 to one pays the moment of lift off . the flights will take more than 3 hours meaning it will dock with the international space station a little after 2 pm moscow time the crew will be busy carrying out around 50 time for scientific research at the station and will also oversee the arrival of a new lab module named science the international space station carries out wide ranging research on everything from biology to astronomy and physics a spaceship has been named in honor of the 1st human in space yuri gagarin and decorated with his portrays well the rockets are come from the same site from where

the soviet cosmonaut made history on the morning of the 12th of april 961 his vostok one craft took off circling the earth for 108 minutes the flight brought to garner an instant global fame and 6 decades later his name lives on well yuri mission it used to be the last person cosmonauts saw minutes before they blasted off from to the stars he says he remains anxious to this day. i'm head of department of the list of transport launch equipment i want to buy i can offer 12 years now the 1st 4 years i was an engineer on the launch team i took part in many crew launches when i started working with the cosmonauts they seem to be more nervous than everyone else worrying that everything went world even after 12 years the nervousness is still there it never goes away the duty of care is always there but it's not so apparent with time because you become more experienced

and you know what to do and how to approach situations that's for the cosmonauts they're always in a good mood they're always smiling especially if there are foreigners among the crew we always passes with jokes and laughter no panic of the operations crew the last people to watch the cosmonauts from ground 0 to the spacecraft and wave them goodbye because minority in a good way because they've been honored to travel to space and carry out experiments serving our country the canteen chief because we're not training centers lifted the lid on the operations of the kitching crew she told as one of her jobs is to make everyone no matter the country they're from that. thank you to go there but as a little they always friendly always smiling no one has ever been unsatisfied or complained about anything sometimes they put on some weight when they arrive and start eating here sometimes a doctor will tell us to serve something with fewer calories that's because they

space us i think is an advance they've already been made so that kind of gaining any weight well it's impossible to lose weight here but sometimes we are asked to stop serving passphrase for example. and you can look at it when they come over to the kitchen it's always such a big moment when the crew comes over and it suddenly dawned on everyone that they're leaving tomorrow and there are so many words of gratitude and so much positive energy coming from them and gratitude because they're happy with us a korean woman it was such a fly one day i don't remember her name we just had lunch and it was served cook so she came over to the kitchen and bowl to the cooks she had tears in her eyes and she said that the cooks it was just like her mother's and that she felt at home that it was such a heartwarming moment there's a holiday sent patrick's day traditionally the festival should be greeting it were told beforehand but didn't know what to do but eventually with figures doubt we had

glares for southbridge and they usually covered it was chuckling but when the green icing with food dye and put it on the eclairs they were delighted it was such a surprise for that they even took photos. thank. 6 hours before the launch they leave the hotel 7 hours before it's breakfast time they have breakfast and then leave and go out to see them off was sent outside the hotel then they walk out and we've told them we'll wave them off when they're on the bus yes that happens is a touching moment and you get used to seeing them around one way or another and then to sit in 6 hours they're off. and as we gear up for the historic anniversary of the 1st ever space flight there we'll have special coverage for you over the coming days.

when almost choked something seems wrong. just don't hold. the world yet to shape out this thing comes to educate and in games from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. it welcome back 1st they came for the gas guzzlers then plastic straws and cutlery and now they're literally coming for children streams them out of the french city of prior years literally called warned quote kids shouldn't even dream of flying and she scrapped funding for the aviation club artie's polly boyko through on her bomber jacket hit the runway and government action to the grounding from a flight instructor and examiner. how

macho you are willing to sacrifice to save the world's air travel is a major contributor to climate change somebody told us to give it up i'm now a green mer in france and still kids to fly jets about flying. j. young environmentalist matter of the french city of what ca one. has said that kids should give up their dream of flying in france of all places the oh you were mad bus the birthplace of the creator of the little prince i'm trying to son

to visit dad leave leo and all alone cournoyer who is 31 years old has said and i quote we must protect the children from some dreams sadly aviation must no longer be parts of the dreams of the children of today and then she went and slashed government funding through the local flight clubs in her area because in her opinion government money shouldn't be spent on a school that as a carbon footprint so i'm off to meet a flight instructor and examiner. to find out what he thinks about the idea of stuffing flying in this french madness french politician has said children shouldn't even dream of. what you think about that as an idea. but some point in the future it might be a little before we pursue future it's just people can live. without god because everybody knows you still can come to it so you think the dream of. flying is still

alive and kicking dreaming of flying should be allowed more of us are for good poet said once more in his experience flaw it would be with the earth with his eyes cosco i would cause once he was there and there we will check into the form from a pollution point of view and then $25.00 in one hour in russia has more pollution than the whole of the g.i. for a small aircraft say the m $25.00 being the big ring where it is a mistake if we have international viewers to be green right out of there are so little and so that's more pollution in one hour what we have in g.r. i care for you ok the a.b.a. general idea is generally easier off the printer this isn't as large as it would fail to be listed no one is over wow that's a big claim at a yes a big plane this is the 21st century engine is called a rotax powers a lot of things. that try to keep mission it doesn't need the additive cool to use the best or lead which is the normal fuel for aircraft because it is very toxic and

that is a pollutant this doesn't use if. it we're moving closer to these ingenious for the future by the ocean we are looking at batteries that there is a certified have very heavy batteries there right but it's a saw it before they can be flown if you look at the concept of electric cars we've got mail is completely different to what we had one of the people that say you shouldn't fly anymore gretz done back said you shouldn't fly anymore people have said it was sort of a race you know travel you know trains like the orient express in agatha christie novels what would you do for you couldn't find anyone who isn't going to half of what you say is now young people who just say he just an old man that loves flying and is obsessed with you know his own past time and isn't thinking about requirement imagine say without the right. but thoughts if you're thinking about cloning if you plan to. if there were things of more people than this i'm not

looking include something nice to be done for my grandchildren or great but generally ocean. is just a pimple on the expect saw it. that way then we found on the end and pressed back at the earth right through the floor i have both i think what really struck a nerve with the liberty loving friends was this idea that kids can even dream of flying anymore luckily from now all kids dreams of being policed just yet and for those of us still wishing to take to the skies well play manufacture is both big and small are working on creating a new us nonpolluting models. and to the u.s.

state of texas now where a shooting has claimed the life of one person and left 5 others injured the suspects has been out for handed out the scene in what is just the latest in a stream of gun violence cases in america and i've attempted to address the problem joe biden has unveiled 6 executive orders them to tightening firearm controls his label be issued an international embarrassment gun violence in this country is an epidemic whether congress actually not i'm going to use all the resources my disposal treasure to keep the american people safe from gun violence but there's much more of the congress can do to help that effort. and they can do it right now . the 1st proposal we heard from the white house was an effort to crack down on how guns are sold he referenced ghost guns which are guns that people manufacture by they they purchase kits to make them in their homes he talked about gun show

loopholes and background checks furthermore joe biden discussed what he calls the red flag legislation that exists in a number of states where if a person is deemed to be a threat to themselves or to others they are temporarily deprived of their guns at this point biden has been facing a huge amount of pressure from gun control supporters due to the fact that there has been a surge in gun violence that you saw last year there were 20000 gun related deaths that took place and that is a 25 percent increase since 2019 that we've seen this surge of gun deaths other was recently an event where 5 people were killed in south carolina including 2 children and that was certainly not the 1st mass shooting that happened in 2021.

it's important to note that there is certainly not unity around these moves that joe biden has proposed we've seen in the governor of the state of arizona put together a piece of legislation prohibiting sheriffs and police officers from carrying out any order that was deemed to be in violation of the 2nd amendment of the us constitution which guarantees the right to own a firearm. the state of arizona and its political subdivisions are prevented from utilizing any financial resources were state personnel to administer cooperate with or enforce a new law act order rule treaty or regulation of the federal government that is

inconsistent with any law of the state regarding the regulation of firearms gun control is yet another example of how polarized the united states is becoming in 2021 this is typical double speak by joe biden this is a joe barton who's putting if he's really interested in gun control who should be interested in government gun control i don't like the the idea of red and blue states there are plenty of democrats who are barry very strongly in favor of the ownership of firearms very very strongly in favor of the 2nd amendment and in fact that's why he can't get gun control passed through the senate because it's evenly divided and many democratic senators are in favor of this just like many republicans. centrist republicans may be in favor of gun control at the end of the day this is starting a slippery slope i think it's waking people up to the real agenda of the vide administration he's going to get a lot of pushback not only from red america but from red and blue america where

there are strong support even in the senate among many democrats to preserve our 2nd amendment freedoms. some arena set to become the fascination in western europe to inoculate primarily with sputnik v the state surrounded by italy has just received another 37000 doses although russian vaccine as seen the official told us why they tend to moscow. ok we got out of doors we face a delayed to supply of the 1st doses of the pfizer vaccine which were covered by protocol agreements between italy and 10 merino the pen demick forced us to session or other solutions on the market through cooperation with the russian direct investment fund we managed to pair new doses of this politically vaccine and start our vaccination campaign vaccinations are now primarily being carried out with sputnik li we had an opportunity to receive scientific proof that this is a good and reliable vaccine and this is also confirmed by our own internal research of antibodies which measures the safety and efficiency of the jab to date we have

had absolutely no problems some minor reactions we have detected comply with standard reactions to muniz ation which include low grade fever chills and so on right now we have no problems in the country hopes to initially boost its vaccination campaign and bring it to a close before the end of may and total $33000.00 people are lined up for the job the state is not an e.u. member which means it's not obliged to wait to watch drug approval so you may very well this is told as they've been working well with moscow. we are definitely happy with the vaccine and are surprised at how good our cooperation with the russian fund has been we saw the professionalism of the fun's workers and their willingness to help as well as quick supplies of the jobs it has been a very good experience of cooperation and i hope we will do it again in the course of future vaccination campaigns. of course our fight against corona virus has some

particularities because we're a small states with limited resources our health system has limited capabilities to confront the situation caused by cove it this is where it's crucial for us to immunize our population as soon as possible when we saw there are existing vaccines on the european market is limited which complicated the start of our vaccination campaign we decided to contact the russian direct investment fund regarding spinning the. former italian and paul told us the european regulator messed speedups but make the approval i think that europe is the laying tool matcher to give india out through asia about to use asia. and europe and their political point of view it is ish. and their commercial point of view i'd prefer being that it is not so important because or even. if you were a commercial reason it would be in order it is a very bad the whole. a wheel

a speed up but in case they do not i think that any way our government other governments should go along. is what they want. thanks for keeping us company here and i'll see international this friday we'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest. we are segregated in there by social class lower middle class people also in poverty by 1st place if you're born into a poor family. born into
