goodall for one whose do you. believe officials seek to reassure people that the astra zeneca coburg shot is safe saying the vaccine hesitancy is costing lives but there are signs that the damage to public trust is already done. by year for me there is a risk since it has been shown that there are people who have unfortunately died after getting vaccinated it would seem the risk is low in their best interest i think and we don't know what to trust life will be to the dark. germany reveals plans for talks with moscow to buy russia's sputnik the job as long as it gets approval from the e.u. regulator and. a soyuz rocket carrying 2 russians and an american as dr the international space
4:01 pm
station just days before the 60th anniversary of the 1st manned space flight. friday evening at 11 here in moscow good to have you with us this is r.t. international money we start in europe this hour where governments are split on whether to restrict the use of the astra zeneca covert job on thursday the european commission warned the without a unified response public confidence in an occupation could falter we've been getting reaction in 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
4:02 pm
after getting vaccinated it is important to get out of this health crisis therefore we have to weigh the benefits and the risks of what 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 right that doesn't surprise me confusing there is a bit of confusion we don't know what to trust 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 side effect not although we're convinced it measures have been taken it's only in spain of joined ranks with germany deciding to limit the job to those who are over the age of 60 belgium has followed suit with province now only
4:03 pm
recommending astra zeneca for those over 55 but those differences a causing a headache for brussels it's worried that without a common policy towards astra zeneca trust in vaccinations could be eroded commissioner he just as member states to ask experts to work with hema to the hokie coherent approach across the region through their guidance and analysis of the issue of the 6 truly important we want to avoid. course a vaccination however it may be that this ship has already sailed here in front there have been reports of people not turning up for they could 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 almost about why certain countries are making unilateral decisions
4:04 pm
against deep voice of the may you know it 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 the previously the u.k. dismissed questions raised about the job now 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
4:05 pm
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 so all of the will be out see paris. san marino is set to become the 1st nation in western europe to use the sputnik v. has it's probably a primary covert vaccine microstate which is ok it ok to entirely within italy has just received another 37000 doses of the russian jap senior official told us why they plan to moscow. ok we thought our borders spread but we face a delayed to supply of the 1st doses of the pfizer vaccine which were covered by protocol agreements but when. the pen demick forced us to settle for other
4:06 pm
solutions on the market through cooperation with the russian direct investment fund we managed to pare you does have some us politically vaccines and start our vaccination campaign vaccinations are now primarily being carried out with sputnik li in. 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 year to date we have had absolutely no problems so minor reactions we have detected to comply with standard reaction to unionization which include low grade fever chills and so on right now we have no problems. no hopes to initially boost its vaccination campaign before bringing it to a close before the end of may young players home to around $34000.00 people and most adults are lined up for the job ministers told us that they've been working well with moscow.
4:07 pm
we are definitely happy with the vaccine and are surprised at how good our cooperation with the russian fund has been the professionalism of the funds 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 to get is coronavirus 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 sputnik the. bigger appear medicines agency is still considering whether to approve the russian vaccine a process that's been going on for several months
4:08 pm
a former italian m.p. told us the regulator needs to act faster. i think that europe is the laying jewel matcher to give india out through asia and about the utilization over scrutiny can you in a political point of view it is a stupid idea to do and then the commercial 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 all of that it is a very bad the i hope that a wheel or speed up but in case they do not i think that any way our government as other governments should go alone or and the bushies what they want the german health ministers announced that his country is in negotiations to buy the sputnik the shot from russia once the vaccine has e.u. approval again spawn hopes that deliveries can start as soon as possible importing next from berlin is peter oliver. well what we are seeing is the early stages of
4:09 pm
talks between germany and the russian direct investment fund for the for berlin buying doses of the sputnik the vaccine these talks are confirmed by health minister yen spon 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 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 the end spun that
4:10 pm
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 you know we're 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
4:11 pm
that's why the german government should finally sign contracts for sputnik we 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 is 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 never mind any debate about whether germany should buy the cobra not could all well prove to be a mirage because what was important was whether germany could receive doses of the
4:12 pm
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 the sputnik vaccine from its 3rd phase trials its face 3 trials receive just over 91 percent effective rate seeing against the covert 19 vaccine that was according to statistics that were published in the lancet medical journal. italian prime minister has called turkey's president a dictator in a feud that's been branded so for gates the european commission chief was left fuming on tuesday after she was refused to seat a top level talks in ankara and relegated to a nearby couch. i
4:13 pm
absolutely do not agree with no one's behavior and i was very sorry for the humiliation the european commission president wonder lane had to suffer let's call them what they are dictators with whom one nonetheless has to coordinate. the turkish government head back a matter of druggies remarks calling them impudent and ugly and on thursday the foreign ministry suddenly the italian ambassador to express its condemnation meanwhile the european council to shelter shell has defended his own conduct explaining why he didn't try to defuse the situation by vacating his own seat. i was convinced that any reaction on my card could be perceived this paternity lism there was a risk of provoking an even more serious incident which would reduce the already fragile chills of having less negative relations with turkey. we also political analysts in europe and turkey house so forget it could impact the already troubled
4:14 pm
relationship between the sides. of course i think both of these persons are history shows and restored again probably didn't show themselves as a gentleman however there is a protocol in these types of situations and it appears that within the european union they don't really agree who is supposed to be number one and number 2 in this protocol shall be shot that in the protocol both of them should be sitting around aired on what is sure is that in this situation the images are terrible and there is a huge backlash and this spat between turkey and i would say european union is a very bad press for president everyone who is trying to renew his relationship with then you're in your period you need which is already pretty and coming down to once an old school politician and protocol is extremely important to him there's actually no reason to apologize because the turks have not committed any type of mistakes regarding the seating arrangement and this is exactly the conditions that the council protocol team wanted the e.u.
4:15 pm
media was so quick to point the finger at our dorm without even sitting down and investigating what happened when we look at the meeting between both sides there was there was some progress being made we were talking about sanctions we're now talking about more positive things keeping the agenda positive we're talking about more carrots less sticks so it was a step in the right direction but unfortunately we got overshadowed by this whole sofa again up there. this is a tape that he had a soyuz rocket has taken a 3 man crew to the international space station almost exactly 60 years after the 1st manned flight from the same no one site among all stories to the head after the . talks are underway in vienna to save the day c.p.o. way the agreement the trunk administration unilaterally walked away from. making
4:16 pm
the deal whole again is relatively easy for iran but that cannot be said for the united states does the buy didn't ministration have the political will to say yes you could run. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being so. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or
4:17 pm
a maybe in the shallows. all over again israel has ruled out any cooperation with the probe into alleged war crimes in the palestinian territories the israeli prime minister's office accused the international criminal court which is conducting the investigation of hypocrisy the unacceptable interference of the court lacks any legal basis and contravenes the goals for which it was established and its time when idea of soldiers are fighting with supreme morality against terrorists it is israel that the court in the hague has decided to condemn there is no other word to describe this other than hypocrisy and body that was founded to defend human rights has become a hostile body the defense those who trample human rights. i c c launched its official investigation in march after a 5 year preliminary probe found evidence of war crimes committed by both the
4:18 pm
israeli military and palestinian groups the case focuses heavily on the 2014 goals of war back then israeli warplanes bombarded the territory over a 7 week period ending several 1000 people dozens of israelis were killed in rocket strikes the i.c.c. probe is also looking at violence along the israel gaza border in 2018. to the palestinian of ministration of welcomed the investigation saying their actions were justified acts of resistance talking to our table a tickle commentator mosman israel has a long track record of evading responsibility for its actions. israel has never abided by any international law to begin with not starting right now with the international criminal court but any international law at all we've never heard anything coming out of the international community or the i.c.c. concerning for example the. massacre in bed with 1982 we never heard about further behind historic massacres that happened when the british landed in palestine and
4:19 pm
brought about what is now called as the israeli forces who killed hundreds of thousands of palestinians and move forward to 2008 also massacres in gaza when they bombed them with phosphorus and depleted you ran you have a.p. reuters covering all of us incidents why would israel be open to this kind of and that's to be should when no other investigation was opened before and no international was maybe put. illegality on the israelis to follow the issue is to tell the world that there were war crimes and these war crimes need to be dealt with. and a 3 man crew has arrived at the international space station is rocket dock several hours ago after a flight from the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan to russians all the events. also the broad from close calls moss and the american mob vande hei of nasa on the all bold deal between station during that time that they'll be overseeing the

arrival of a new lab module named science a soyuz and i say teen spacecraft the said the trio to space was named after the 1st human in space eureka got it. constantine rosko force out the known sites as the crew took off and. you can see throughout iraq of the war it was that means dad saw those engines or the firing and the rocket is going to the store so you're . going to be doing. wow i mean we had amazing sight to see and everyone here at this viewing area are thrilled to see the rugged heading into space but i'm going to tell you something there are a new 3 people on earth there are more focused than the crew on board that saw use
4:21 pm
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 11 of the skin 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 i 2 of the cosmos before they leave our planet but these 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
4:22 pm
online only also because of the safety reasons but we were managed to pass our question to the crew members anyway and. very much like all families from relatives and friends to be here to at least communicate with them through the glass so they could see our lives on the other hand the notes here makes me a little relieved because the situation is still difficult everywhere and i would not want to risk that because we can safely fluid do a job without worrying that something happened to them here. we are all having to deal with the challenges associated with. i just feel very fortunate to have loved ones like my family and 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 cost
4:23 pm
a lot of trouble on earth into space now of course this launch comes at the 60th anniversary of yuri gagarin's flight 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 where your 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. as constantine mentions that 60 year milestone is approaching the morning of the 12th of april $960.00 of all stock spacecraft blasted off carrying the soviet cosmonaut yuri gagarin and orbited the journey that took 108 minutes but that flight got an instant global fame and 6 decades later his name lives on. one thing that hasn't changed since they go into time there's always a single specialist who is the last person because before they blast off you're
4:24 pm
a machine fill that role for several years at baikonur and he's been telling us about how it all works. head of department of the list of transport launch equipment 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 as for the cosmonauts they're always in good mood they're always smiling especially if there are foreigners among the crew we always passes with jokes and laughter no panic over 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. the latest flight to the i.s.a.'s continues and
4:25 pm
enjoying a relationship between the world's leading space powers russia and the united states which is going on regarding political differences along the way that's exactly of canberra's sachs give us his perspective on that cooperation and the bigger new universe. we have a great working relationship with our russian counterparts we love working with them we've worked together for a long time now we know each other's weaknesses we know each other's strengths you know and just like in any any friendship sometimes you don't agree about things that happens and and then we have this great way of working through those types of disagreements we talk to each other we try to convince each other one way or the other and we find a good resolution to the problem. i'm so proud to have been able to be here in kazakhstan and see the launch pad were a year you could garden launched it was a wonderful experience you know that 1st step must have been
4:26 pm
a fairy fairy hard. imagine but it's also hard to take next steps right sometimes on a journey it's the most important step to starting but then it's hard to do each step after step after step after step and we're in that process now and it's great to have partners to work with as we support each other as we keep each other going down the road so that we can go further and further out into space together. as we gear up for that historic out of a story of the 1st ever manned space flight we're going to have some special coverage for you over the coming days both from us.
4:27 pm
we're segregated. by social class. people also in poverty by 1st place if you're born into a poor family odd you're born into a minority family if you're born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your life chances people die on average 15 years if you're born into generational poverty. it's a tough fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family. it's the same wrong all right old roles just don't call. any new world belief
4:28 pm
yet to shape out disdain becomes to educate and in the game equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. choose to look for common ground. hello and welcome to cross up where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle talks are underway in vienna to save the j c p oh wait the agreement the trump administration unilaterally walked away from making the deal whole again is relatively easy for iran but that cannot be said for the united states because the
4:29 pm
by didn't ministration have the political will to say yes. cross talking that way i'm joined by my guest in washington he is chairman of the market group a consultancy on middle east affairs in vienna we have. he is the former head of the verification and security policy coordination office at the international atomic energy agency and input and we have mohammad marandi he is a professor at the university of turin. in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it let's go to down 1st professor marandi . initial reports from the meetings in vienna are a little bit more upbeat than i would have expected a little i'm surprised i have to say here what is your perspective from 10 because as i said in my introduction it's the u.s. is going to have to do
4:30 pm
a lot of things to get back into this deal that it walked away from unilaterally iran is going to have to get to tweak a few things here so how do you see things playing out go ahead. that's the reason why i am very cautious because the iranians are not going to give any new concessions to the united states and the deal of the g.'s e p o 8 is signed it's done both sides know what they have to do so the iranians are prepared to implement the deal in full as they have been doing so in the past but only if the united states you alluded to this point in attitudes in the past wrote one something on paper the signs are there on april but in reality they didn't do it never allow iran to use the international banking system which was the most important part of the deal.
