e.u. officials that seek to reassure people that the astra zeneca coded shot is safe saying that vaccine has a tendency is costing lives but there are signs that the damage to public trust is already done. what to me there is a risk since it has been shown that there are people who have unfortunately died after getting vaccinated eclipsing the risk is low in their best interest i don't know which trust i feel will be to the dog. germany reveals plans for talks with moscow to buy russia's wouldn't it be a jab as long as it gets approval from the e.u. regulator and.

it's no use rocket carrying to russians and an american has docked with the international space station just days before the 60th anniversary of the 1st manned space flight. of broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our to international i'm john thomas certainly glad to have you with us and we start in europe where governments are split on whether to restrict the use of the astra zeneca covert jab on thursday the european commission warned that without a unified response public confidence in an occupation could falter we got 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 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 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 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 member states to ask experts to work with hema to the hokie coherent approach across the region through their guidance and analysis they should just use the extreme important we want to avoid. course the 6 nations 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 may yell at 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. new restrictions on astra zeneca are even tighter than those that have been taken by the european neighbors the 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 that 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 so all of the will be out see paris. san marino is said to become the 1st nation in western europe to use sputnik v. as its primary covert vaccine the microstate which is within italy has just received another $37000.00 doses of the russian jab a senior official told us why they turned to moscow.

ok we thought out of doors fred we face a delayed the supply of the 1st doses of the pfizer vaccine which were covered by protocol agreements but when. the pen to make forced us to says for 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 vaccinations are now primarily being carried out with sputnik the. 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 safety and efficiency of the up 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 san marino hopes to initially boost its vaccination campaign and

bring it to a close before the end of may the enclave is home to around 34000 people and most adults are lined up for the job ministers told us that they have been working well with moscow. we are definitely happy with the vaccine and a 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 the vaccination campaign we decided to contact the russian direct investment fund regarding

splitting the. european medicines agency is still considering whether to approve the russian vaccine a process that has been going on for several months now in former italian m.p. told us that the regulator needs to act faster. i think that europe is the laying tool matcher to. give india out through asia in a. seizure or worse would mean can europe and their political point of view it is issue you'll be there did you and then the 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 i hold that a we are screwed up but in case they do not i think that any way our government other governments should go along and here's what they worked the german health minister has announced his country is in negotiations to buy the sputnik v.

shard from russia and once the vaccine has the e.u. approval yan's spahn expects deliveries and soon as possible reporting from berlin has artie's peter alving. 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 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 is in vaccines and then distributes them so well this is seen is germany take an independent roots 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 a country 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 is 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. 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 that very are 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 announced that these talks were going on to buy sputnik he said 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 a knock back scenes 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 the vaccine from its 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 air to one a dictator in a few that has been branded so for gade it comes after the european commission

chief was left fuming on tuesday after she was refused a seat at top level talks in ankara and relegated to a nearby county. i absolutely do not agree with their no one's behavior and i was very sorry for the humiliation the european commission president under lane had to suffer let's call them what they are dictators with whom one nonetheless has to coordinate the turkish government hit back at mario draghi remarks calling them impudent and ugly and on thursday the foreign ministry summoned the italian ambassador to express its condemnation meanwhile european council chief charles michel has defended his own conduct explaining why he had not tried to defuse the situation by vacating his

seat. i was convinced that any reaction on what card could be perceived just put them 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 asked political analysts in europe and to turkey for gate could impact the already troubled relationship between the sides. of course i think both of these persons mystery shows and research 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 shut that in the protocol both of them should be sitting around edited out what it is sure is that in this situation the images are terrible and there is a huge backlash in this bet between turkey and i would say your opinion is a very bad press for president everyone who is trying to renew his relationship

with in your in your opinion you need which has already been pretty and growing down our wants and old school politician in protocol is extremely important to him there is actually no reason to apologize because the turks have not committed any type of mistakes regarding the seating arrangement this is exactly the conditions that the council protocol team wanted the e.u. media was so quick to point the finger at our go on without even sitting down and investigating what happened when we look at the meeting between both sites there was there was some progress being made we were talking about sanctions we're now talking about were positive things keeping the agenda positive were talking about more carrots less sticks so it was a step in the right direction but unfortunately got overshadowed by this whole sophie gate affair. israel has ruled out any cooperation with a 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 at a time when idea of soldiers are fighting with supreme morality against terrorists and it's israel that the court in the hague has decided to condemn there's no other word to describe this other than hypocrisy a body that was founded to defend human rights has become a hostile body the defense those who trample human rights the i.c.c. launched its official investigation in march after a 5 year preliminary probe found evidence of war crimes committed by both the israeli military and palestinian armed groups the case focuses heavily on the 2014 gaza war back then israeli warplanes bombarded the territory over a 7 week period killing several 1000 people and 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 hamas and the palestinian and ministration have welcomed the investigation saying their actions were justified acts of resistance political commentator marc one thinks israel has a long track record of the vague and responsibility for its actions israel has never of by and by any international law to begin with not starting right now with the international criminal court but any international law at all and we've never heard anything coming out of the international community or the i.c.c. each concerning for example the. massacre in bed with 982 we never heard about further behind historic massacres that happened when the british landed in palestine and 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 uranium you ran you have

a.p. reuters covering all of us incidents why would israel be open to this kind of and as to gays 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. well disclaimer space is cool and a new 3 man crew has arrived at the international space station there so use rocket dock to several hours ago after a flight from the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan to russians are they getting of its key and. of cosmos and american mark vanda hey of nasa are now on board the orbital station during their time there they will be overseeing the arrival of a new lab module named science the soyuz and s 18 spacecraft that sent in the trio to space was named after the 1st human in space you're

a good artes constantine was at the launch site as the crew took off. you can't throw out your foot on the water if that means a tad sobber changes or a firing and the rocket is going to do things you're. going to do. 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 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 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 to of 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 questions to the crew members anyway and. someone handed very much like all

families from relatives and friends to be here to at least coup. 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 see a few florida 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 russian sticks bottom line is that at this point no one wants to lead kobe which has caused 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 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 as constantine just mentioned there that 60 year milestone is approaching on the morning of april 12th 1961 of a stock spacecraft blasted off carrying the soviet cause minute cosmonaut yuri gagarin it orbited the earth once on a journey that took 108 minutes the flight brought gagarin instant global fame and 6 decades later his name lives on one thing has not changed since good time there is always a single launch specialist who is the last person the cosmonauts see before they blast off your emission filled that role for several years at baikonur and told

us about how it all works. i'm head of department of the lift 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 i 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 include mood they're always smiling especially if there are foreigners among the crew you always passes with jokes and laughter no panic 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. the latest flight to the i.o.c.

has continues an enduring relationship between the world's leading space powers russia and the united states which has gone on regardless of political differences now executive ken gave us his perspective on that cooperation and the garron anniversary. 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

a fairy fairy heart i can just 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. and as we gear up for the historic anniversary of the 1st ever manned space flight we will have special coverage for you over the next couple of days stay with us.

because the slowness of the mood of them so moving. to build your school board local was before. much of those who heard it's a preview are few other movies to see him win or lose north we will forgo. the bulk move really. small show you just look beautiful the book i mean it's a good looker a good. movie muslim also his girls will review films for good girls. don't go to shows a look but look the same you believe kiss will explore the you should go. to starbucks to. get to meet until it was a little mist makes you look it is it's. your stash the understand just need to mount the mashed on truck to stop the president from the speech from this project

not going to say you know the momentum disappeared out of the sort of muscles are really just accumulate could only come in to seeing them to be any less than. the blackness of the sky if the so food industry is successful it will create more jobs it will create more value added it will create more growth so i don't see why we shouldn't also fight for the interest something into st cloud said that we have regulation we want regulation i was in the industry and if we don't behave in your screen all to you that's fine.

so we'll raise the question what if we could get every kid to follow 3 simple. graduate from high school. get a job and continue work and don't have the room till you're $21.00 and right now we've walked out at the entire country and we classified people according to

whether they broke all those rules or they followed one or 2 or all 3 of the rules the results are astounding. so i started talking to judges and lawyers and doctors and health providers and interviewing people and literally asked thousands of people how many of you had the course istria part of the united states and. we are segregated in america by social class if you just think about it what a middle class people hang out with. most middle class people don't know someone in poverty by 1st name and fit in down to dinner together.
