well if you believe. as e.u. member states remain. the. brussels fears public confidence in the show could be faltering. why yes. since it has been shown that there are people who have unfortunately died after getting vaccinated the risk is low in their best interest i think we don't know what to trust between the dog. day in space history. american blasted off to the space station

just a few days before the 60th anniversary of human space travel. germany reveals plans for talks with moscow. is approved by brussels. but it's a friday april the 9th and you're just in time for your new international. welcome to the program and we start in europe where governments are restricting the astra zeneca job. without a unified response public confidence and could so we hit the streets of paris for reaction. 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 what he's got 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 and use of same 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 what 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 now weigh the risks but saying that blood clots should be listed as

a rare so i defect not although we're convinced it 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 prudence 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 improved it can be sure just as a member states to ask experts to work with hema to develop a coherent approach across the reasons through their guidance and analysis these are just the 6 truly important we want to avoid. course a vaccination however it may be that this ship has already sailed here in france there have been reports of people not turning up for they could be 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 e m a you know what certain that may be 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 that previously the u.k. dismissed questions raised about the jab now the government committee is

recommending that healthy people under 30 are provided with a different fact seen adults who are age 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 provides 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 big to put an end to the current nightmare shola to be artsy paris. germany's health minister has announced the country is in negotiations to buy the sputnik v. shot from russia once the vaccine has e.u. approval spahn expects deliveries as soon as possible more details now with artie's 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 programme for vaccines that system this all for $11.00 for all system of the e.u. commission by his invite scenes and then distributes them so well this is seen is germany take an independent routes 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 the the green light germany is more than happy to use it the announcement from yen spun that germany as

they couldn't treat would be in negotiations to buy sputnik became shortly after market zada 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 3 men were doing to give sputnik it's approved in europe then bavaria 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. well looking at the reception to the sputnik vaccine here in germany it's pretty positive hugo of polling shows 55 percent of germans say they'd be more than happy to take a sputnik job 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 coronavirus 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 effective fax 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 yen spahn the health minister as he announced that these talks were going on to buy sputnik he said that never mind any debate about whether germany should buy the code by 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 a.m.a. gives that green light for use of it in the european union we're expecting a lot more a u. nations to follow the line that it's being led by hungary who've already started vaccinating using it without that a.m.a. approval expecting many more nations to jump on as well the sputnik the vaccine from its phase trials of space 3 trials received just over 91 percent effective rate seeing against the covert 1000 vaccine that was according to statistics that were published in the lancet medical journal. well a son merinos is set to become the 1st nation in western europe to inoculate

primarily with support. of the state surrounded by italy has just received another 37000 doses of the russian vaccine one senior official told us why they turn to moscow. ok we thought our daughter's friends what we face and delayed the supply of the 1st doses of the pfizer vaccine which were covered by protocol agreements between. the pen demick forced us to session or other solutions on the market through cooperation with the russian direct investment fund we managed to patch a new dose of this politically vaccines and start our vaccination campaign with 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 this job to date we have had absolutely no problems some minor reactions we have detected comply with

standard reactions tonight which include low grade fever chills and so on right now we have no problems with that but 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 lined up for the job now the state is not an e.u. member which means it is not obliged to wait for the e.u. watchdog to approve the usage of sputnik the ministers told us 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. cause 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 thought there are access to 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 sputnik the. one former italian m.p. told us the european regulator must speed up the approval of sputnik 3. being that europe is the laying tool matcher to. give india out through asia. all those can you get a political point of view of jesus. and that point of view i'd prefer to 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 week i go to

a wheel a speed up but in case they do not do that anyway our government is that governments should go along and choose what they want. so it is an emotional moment for people worldwide and particularly for those families of those on board it's a soyuz rocket launch from kazakhstan is baikonur cosmodrome and is in the midst of docking at the international space station the space ship is carrying 2 russians and american astronauts as well now the 2 russians we can tell you about on board we've got a ski and pot of gold but of course cosmos and the american is mark vande hei of nasa they're all part of the crew it is a particularly special moment for drop off as this is his 1st ever space flight the team will be busy carrying out around 50 types of scientific research at the station they'll 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 spaceships being named in honor of the 1st human in space. and decorated it with his portrait so 3 to one here is the moment of liftoff. wow i mean we had amazing sight to see and everyone here at this viewing area are thrilled to see the rocket heading into space but i got to tell you something there are no 3 people on earth there are more focused than the crew on board that saw use rocket because the 1st 10 minutes after takeoff are considered to be the most dangerous of their entire 6 or even 10 month stay in space now let me tell you few

words about the crew so this time we have 2 russian cosmonauts elect peter do broth and then one american astronaut mark bundy hey despite investing heavily in space x.'s dragon program the united states and nasa are still dependent on russia and pays the country to sand their astronauts into space earlier today they follow the same traditional route that each cosmina takes while at baikonur 1st they left the hotel to the famous soviet song usually this is a very emotional moment because this is when family members get to say their final goodbyes to the cosmos before they leave our planet but this time they were not even allowed to come to the cause of a drone because of the pandemic and for the 1st time in history the traditional press conference with the crewmembers was held without us without media presence online only also because of the safety reasons but we were managed to pass our question to the crew members anyway in. one hand i very much like our families from

relatives and friends to be here to at least communicate with them through the glass so they could see a lift off when the other one the 2 makes me a little relieved because the situation is still difficult everywhere and i would not want to risk that because we can safely flown to do a job without worrying that something happened to them when we were all having to deal with the challenges associated with. i just feel very fortunate that i have loved ones like my fam. 1000000 friends. even though they can't be here they're still able to communicate with me and share their support both main and backup crews were vaccinated in advance of the american stigma dearness shots while the russians. bottom line is that at this point no one wants to lead covert which has caused a lot of trouble on earth into space now of course this launch comes at the 60th anniversary of yuri gagarin slide which made him 1st ever human in space and this

date april 12th is going to be widely celebrated across russia anyway you know this place baikonur were yuri gagarin journey started is by far the most the bast place to feel this connection with the history of space exploration which as you just saw is still unfolding so the rocket to take off from the same side from where the soviet cosmonaut yuri gagarin made history on the morning of the 12th of april 961 is vul still one croft took off circling the earth for 108 minutes the flight brought a guitar an instant global fame and 6 decades later his name lives on. well you remission used to be the last post in the cosmonauts sold minutes before they blasted off to the stuff he says he remains anxious to this day. i'm head of department of the lift of transport launch equipment over to buy can offer 12 years now the 1st 4 years i was an engineer on the launch team party 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 for the cosmonauts that are always look good mood they're always smiling especially if there are foreigners among the crew you always passes with jokes and laughter no panic some of the operations crew the last people to walk the cosmonauts from ground 0 to the spacecraft and wave them goodbye because minerals in a good way because they've been honored to travel to space and carry out experiments serving our country. for this is r.t. international good for you to be with us here today news coming in right now from the u.k. the husband of queen elizabeth the 2nd of prince philip has passed away at the age of 99 just 2 months short of his centenary and he was the queen's partner for 6

decades at the prince retired royal duties 4 years ago he has been suffering failing health there all family has released a statement saying that philip died peacefully this morning at windsor castle in southern. the world is driven by. dares thinks. we dared to ask.

when i was told small seemed wrong all quite all goals just all. the old beliefs yet to shape our disdain to come to educate and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. it is 20 past the hour here in moscow russia's foreign ministry has warned ukraine against the use of force in its south east this comes as fee is a raise that a military buildup on ukraine's borders made lead to an escalation in hostilities

that's get more details on this now across like donald porter joining us here on the program donald what do you know well rory we just heard from russia's foreign ministry that kiev is creating hysteria around an imaginary russian threat near the conflict zone of don boss it comes after ukraine has built up its own military forces on its line of contact with the self-proclaimed people's republic of done yet scandal guns let's take a listen to the spokeswoman from the russian foreign ministry of and see what she has to say about it. and then yesterday even at the g. if you can even de lucia of the possibility of a military solution to the conflict in the southeast of the country on the troops and equipment being drawn in there and she steered by the mythical russian threat but isn't actively whipped out in the media for much zahar of also mentioned that the military drills that are taking place in russia on its border of near the conflict zone are not being conducted on a scale any larger than what we've seen over the past several years now this is likely a response to accusations by nato of quote large scale russian military operations

there now we also heard from a kremlin press release that there was a meeting between them or putin and the german chancellor angela merkel apparently both leaders are quite concerned about this situation with putin laying the blame for the recent escalations on recent provocative actions at the line of contact putin also said that direct communication is necessary with done yet and lugansk and that there are special status should be. legalised moscow and berlin all did agree though that negotiations need to be intensified and this kind of talk of resolution is something that is really a welcome change to the tension we've been seeing over the past several weeks what with joe biden promising unwavering support to kiev and russia saying it will protect its people in the event of an all out military assault by kiev against the people's republic so this may may very well be an escalation of tension that we're seeing in this armed conflict in done by us all right donald thank you.

for the gas guzzlers then plastic straws and cutlery now they're literally coming for children's dreams the mayor of the french city of prophecy is literally warned quote kids shouldn't even dream of flying as she scrapped funding for the aviation club so i want to go through a bomber jacket hit the runway and go to reaction to the grounding from a flight instructor and examiner. how large a show you are willing to sacrifice to save the world air travel is a major contributor to climate change question somebody told us to give it up i now agree maryn france has told kids to flood about flying.

stuffing flying in this french madness french politician has said children shouldn't even dream of fly. what do you think about that as an idea. but some point in the future it might be relevant but for the pacific future it's just people. without god who is 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 you for good poet said once more his experience flaw it would be with the earth with his eyes car sky would cause once he was there in there eventually to form from a pollution point of view and done in $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 being the big ring where it was i was thinking if we have international viewers to be green right over there are still in london so

that's more than a one hour what we have in g.r. i can for you ok ga be a general idea generally easier off the printer ness isn't as large as it would be a good estimate it would be less than the lines of wow that's a big claim a day yes a big claim this is the 21st century engineers go to write checks piles a lot of things. electronic ignition it doesn't need the additive call to you. as the lead which is the normal fuel for aircraft because that is very toxic and that is a pollutant this doesn't use if. we are moving closer to the using for the future of the ocean we are looking at batteries that there is a certified have very heavy batteries there right but it's a song for the can be flown if you look at the onset of electric cars we've got mail is completely different to what we had one of the people that say you shouldn't fly any more aggressive than max said you shouldn't fly anymore people

have said it was sort of embrace you know travel you know trains like the orient express and agatha christie novels what would you do for you couldn't find anyone who isn't going to have what you say is now young people who just say you just an old blue man that loves flying and is obsessed with you know his own past time and isn't thinking about requirement imagine say would that be right. but thoughts if you're thinking about cloning to clone human. if there were no figures of more people than this i mean on looks like eucalypts something nice to be done for my grandchildren or great but just the way the ocean. is just the people on the expect saw it. that way they can without on the engine press truck i've not heard about the right

exhibits acquired harpo's i think what really struck a nerve with the liberty loving friends was this idea that kids can even 3 month flying anymore luckily from now all kids dreams are being policed just yet and for those of us still wishing to take to the skies well play manufacturers both big and small all while taking on creating new nonpolluting models as your program for this half hour one international those fast turning into a busy day with breaking news here at this travel we are back soon with much. talks are underway in vienna to save the j.c. peel away the agreement the trump administration unilaterally walked away from
