so who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers or the governments of. e.u. officials seek to reassure that the answers that make a covert shot is safe and stressing that the vaccine has been see it's costing lives but there are signs that the damage to public trust is already done. for me there is a risk since it has been shown there are people who have unfortunately died after getting vaccinated it would seem the risk is low in their best interest i think we don't know what to trust our view would be to the dark. least funs torch town's water cannon fire riots erupted across northern ireland or the post breaks in trade barriers. and a former u.s. intelligence analyst faces years in jail for exposing america's drone assassination program we speak to

a whistleblower who's in close contact with him. he did it because he was exposing a war crime he's not allowed to see that and so he really doesn't have any chance of acquittal. a very warm welcome you know watching the weekly international bringing you all the latest headlines along with a roundup of the stories that shape the week and we're starting in europe where governments are split on restricting the use of the astra zeneca covert job on thursday the european commission warns that without a unified response public confidence in occupations could fall so we go to reaction in italy and france. you know there are other vaccines so i cannot see the reason to focus only on astra zeneca if it has problems there are very rare but there are problems. it would you know for certain age groups it should be restricted i

personally wouldn't take it i understand that it can be an advantage for the community but if something goes wrong you could get thrombosis and then the personal advantage vanishes. for me there is a risk since it has been shown there are people who have unfortunately died after getting vaccinated it would use of saying 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 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 outweigh 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

really in spain of joined ranks with germany deciding to limit the job to those who are over the age over 60 belgium has followed suit with france now only recommending astra zeneca for those over $55.00 but those differences of 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 trustees to extremely important we want to avoid of course a vaccination as 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 can feel. you know 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 the 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. 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 the government committee is recommending that healthy people under 30 are provided with

a different vaccine 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 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 big to put an end to the cone nightmare jollity will be out see paris sun reno is that to become the 1st nation in western europe to use sputnik the as its primary covert vaccine the microstate which is within italy has just received another $37000.00 doses of the russian jet a senior official told us why they turned 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 test for other solutions on the market through cooperation with the russian direct investment fund we managed to you does it so that's because if the vaccines start our sex mission campaign vaccinations are now primarily being carried out with the sputnik li i mean. 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 are minor reactions we have detected to comply with a standard reaction to do which include low grade fever chills and so on right now we have no problems with the army summary no hopes to complete its maximisation campaign by may then claves home to around 34000 people and most adults are lined

up for the job ministers told us they've been working well with russia. 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 x. sister 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. european medicines agency is still considering whether to

approve sputnik v.a. a process that's been going on for months for my italian m.p. told us the regulator must act faster. i think that europe is the laying tool matcher to give india out through asia and. the utilization over scrutiny in europe under political point of view it is a stupid idea to do and then the commercial point of view i'd prefer to think that it is not so important because or even. if you were a commercial reason it would be in order 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 along and bush is what they want. if only us intelligence analyst faces up to 10 years in prison for blowing the whistle on washington's targeted drone assassination program daniel hale pleaded guilty to

transmitting and retaining national defense information his case comes amid mass disclosure of similar crimes allegedly perpetrated by the u.s. . i have to tell you when he called me a few hours ago he was surprisingly upbeat and optimistic and he he remarked about how much press this issue has been getting since he decided to plead

guilty so in the end i think that he thinks that this is been worth it that americans know more about the drone program now than 8 they did 6 months ago or a year ago and even though he's likely going to go to prison it was worth it the u.s. is flying these drones or at least it was until recently that were used ostensibly to kill terrorists or would be terrorists but in reality to kill anybody who might resemble a terrorist and that included women children the elderly and anybody else who happened to be on the ground i believe that we're we're a nation of laws and we have to abide by those laws whether we like them or not if we don't like them we should change them go through the process and change them if congress has not declared war on a country we don't have a right to attack it we just can't decide that we don't like the politics of whoever happens to be in charge in a place like yemen or pakistan or afghanistan and then launch drone strikes against

them it's a violation of international law. data which hale gave to the online new science the intercept back in 2014 was made available to the public and he's now accused of disclosing classified intelligence information is the porters say these kinds of exposures are essential using the espionage act in this way to prosecute journalists sources as spies chills newsgathering and discourages sources from coming forward with information in the public interest particularly when it relates to national security where government secrecy is at its height these documents detail the secret unaccountable process for targeting and killing people around the world including u.s. citizens through drone strikes there are vital public importance and that to be related to their disclosure is protected by the 1st amendment hell was arrested 2 years ago and charged with violating the espionage act and other related offenses

president biden has imposed temporary restrictions on drone strikes outside most countries but there are reports he aims to boost exports of unmanned weapons to countries including those with poor human rights records john kiriakou again ses however justified whistleblowers exposure of drone strikes they have next to no chance of proving that to us or thirty's. this is really the worst part of the of the espionage act this is the reason why ed snowden can't come home this is the reason why i couldn't go to trial this is the reason why jeffrey sterling the other cia whistleblower was convicted because there is no affirmative defense we are prohibited by law from going into court and saying i did it but i did it for this reason and in the case of daniel hale this was a war crime he did it because he was exposing a war crime he's not allowed to say that and so he really doesn't have any chance of acquittal the best thing to do for daniel as it was for me as it was for so many

others here charged under the espionage act is to take a deal and to hope for the lightest possible sentence the decision that was made early on even before joe biden was inaugurated to pursue the appeal against julian assange it was that decision that made it clear that joe biden was going to pursue national security leaks just like barack obama did and just like donald trump did after him. twitter has moved to correct reality once again this time the platform has targeted a once classified video showing alleged to us war crimes the account of a naughty america correspondent well suspended off the posting the footage with twitter agreeing to lift the ban only off the rachel blevins to me to the post that blevins told us the real issue is that those responsible have still not been held to account. they said that they were doing this because i violated their graphic content policy essentially because in that video you were watching civilians and

journalists lose their lives and the context that they give behind that is to say that for the families of those victims that would be hard to watch that would be hard for that footage to be out there and to that extent they're correct about that i mean this is disturbing footage and yet at the same time it's also even more disturbing for those families to know that even though that footage has been out there the attackers the murderers who are responsible still have not been brought to justice 1st released by wiki leaks in 2010 the once classified pentagon appears to show the indiscriminate shooting of more than a dozen civilians in a suburb from an american helicopter among those killed were 2 employees of the reuters news agency we can leak said it obtains the video from a number of whistleblowers over the years the video the twitter claims breaks these rules has been posted by many other uses but it's. journalist the trick is the system but blevins insists that all the graphic footage still needs to be brought

to the public's attention. here in the united states are major media organizations like say c.n.n. or fox news they don't show you footage like that they don't show you how horrific it is a when the u.s. military commit these terrible war crimes in other countries they don't tell you what is actually going on with this so-called war on terrorism and yet it's people like us on to have taken the steps to put that information out there to bring the actual footage to light to show the public public that and now at the same time you see the u.s. government going through from obama to now by even attacking us songs going after him trying to get his head on a platter more alas i think that what we're seeing is. increasing moves on the part of these digital corporations and we know nothing about them they're completely opaque they know everything about us as forms of censorship for the ruling elite in

particular the establishment elites in the republican in the democratic party who are blocking their critics on the left or the right you have to remember that during the obama administration and barack obama's vice president was of course joe biden expanded the targeted assassinations through militarized drone drones and there's complete continuity between republican and democratic administrations on this issue which is why the biden ministration has supported the appeal in london to get julian a songe extradited to the united states. as we gear up for monday's historic kind of 3 of these times human obit off the planet is because he continues on special coverage for you later in the program a veteran space traveler says the workouts you need to be fit for liftoff so stay with us.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person of those. who dares thinks. we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going foundation let it be an arms race is on offer and spearing dramatic development only i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very

critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back northern ireland has been gripped by rioting throughout the week please find water cannon for the 1st time in 6 years as pro-u. k. loyalist sound irish nationalists faced off the disturbances come amid a wave of anger at the post bragg's it trade barriers well this was the scene in belfast on friday night protest is launched to trash tossed a trash can and a car and held rocks and petrol bombs at police northern ireland's 1st minister on insults to has to both sides to show restraint the british prime minister has

expressed his a lot uncalled for dialogue. i am deeply concerned by the scenes of violence northern ireland especially attacks on the p.s. and i who are protecting the public and businesses attacks on a bus driver and the assault of a journalist this way to resolve differences is through dialogue not violence or criminality. meanwhile northern ireland's justice minister has blamed the u.k. government for the flare up now i mean longer queues the conservatives of dishonesty over the way bricks it would affect the irish border saying they had promised unfettered access while failing to work through the legal consequences she also slams the british government's decision to suspend the northern ireland protocol which was part of the u.k.'s withdrawal agreement with the aimed at ensuring an open border we're only i spoke with jonathan talking to professor of british and irish politics he thinks the government's made a series of false promises to the people of northern ireland. the british

government bonds johnson in particular after a considerable amount of responsibility it was part of johnson went over to belfast and total the democratic party the largest party i'm told look how the party conference 3 years ago that it would be untold for any british government to preside over the border in the r.t.c. or johnson was talking is precisely treason make the signing of such a deal within the year for his johnson not and since then he spent about a time pretending that the risk would be great. so you disagree with a single terrible sense no betrayal over what the prime minister has done think that boris johnson needs to go to northern i'll explain what he's done in terms of of the protocol and try and also meet with the you leaders to instigate some of the worst effects the protocol and diminish the number of checks go on between great britain and northern ireland otherwise we were looking at a grim summer potentially of violence in northern ireland. this week the

international space station has welcomed a new 3 man crew to russians and want from the us the launch came ahead of tomorrow's anniversary of the 1st human spaceflight. the rocket took off from the same site from west lafayette cosmonaut yuri gagarin made history on the morning of the 12th of april 961 his vostok one craft blasted into orbit circling the earth for 108 minutes the flight brought could go an instant global fame where he sends global correspondents to find out if the memory is still alive.

when you should give it you get the idea you're going to have a pop up on the golf ball but no doubt in your. and i think here you could go right recognizing me and i wish i knew armstrong i'm sorry i don't know what. face recognition this feels in the wild actually your car is now if you. had a better solution. and steve thomas who produced the piece to tell you to good god it was true but it was the speech that jesus is coming for good judgment to be a judgment is fairly good i mean if you're getting. 5. stumbling stone out of it all i'll see for the least.

little bit of good you know i don't know if you'll be got ready for this trip out at lord's time how far you've ever been you've got to feel what it's what i did. but he. did name is he going to. pull him out they say how do you know it. will be a good rifle not there we'll see a picture of your book you are going to have these are the goldberg of the invisible world. became god really all. i know about fullest. 2000 and she had to tell me to go to a lot of the shelf and all of the. you get me now a. lot of mr looney to go to and i want you to stop with out of all the on the.

you already judge the flame kidney or do you want to go getting. caught up on a little bit of the kitchen i don't i don't know judy i got it. in the. movie and that's something a lot more money they made with the mugello but i'm not sure they were. really big easy anything we don't operate on what they. embed in. the unit it's. good to merkel when i. got for my dog who are all this one here you have to be here during the.

thing that. live right here guy the 1st guy and. something right. it's real i get out there he was in that movie with my chevy chase down at words like that in the eighty's. miracle the mystique. mystery. and let. me take you to remember and. you will be. sporting the. why do you think that you've got what it takes to survive 0 gravity as veteran russian cosmonauts revealed the holocaust fitness regime fall space travel as but a warning to the queen see it involves some us all saying it's

a little dizzy. physical preparation is necessary for us to be able to withstand everything before and during flight pressure and 0 gravity to do that our body needs to be prepared there are special physical exercises which ensure normal functioning of the muscular carry vascular and bell and sisters all to feel well on the ground and in the year. this is an exercise to strengthen the blood vessels of the brain hatstand so you should do it for about 10 seconds before you get back on your feet with speed the exercise 10 times put your hands on the floor lift your legs stand up and count to 1123 blood flows well to your head creating pressure. other exercise for the brain vessels is the arm staff so you don't have to stand long the most important thing is to put your feet in this position and then straighten up the exercise also needs to be repeated 10 times it's better to make it fast so the blood can quickly flow

to the had and back vessels expand and contract rapidly the next exercise is to develop your balance it's good for blood vessels as well that's basic forward rolls you have to repeat them several times before you get a little dizzy but when you get up and listen to how you feel are you dizzy or not or if you are repeat the same number of forward rolls and if not increase the number. thanks for joining us our nazi international today that's all from me they were always things say will be here in 30 minutes because. it is 3 pieces in the state of you know the. daily beast and i

will be in the hall. making money making profits in some of the corporations international markets import export do you imagine the number of printing diseases that are out in every community to do it is new due to new viruses all new microbes and the fact is not true so it is due to environment. though that moment of disability of this really just accumulate could only come into use even though to be so in the list that. the legacy 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 outset that we are british and we want regulation i was interested in these we don't behave as in the astronauts who must find.

all. the. time on welcome to worlds apart of the 2nd year into the global pandemic called. the mysterious 2 scientists and doctors in the public domain it's surrounded by just as many dog mice challenging which may prove more isolating than the disease and south given how politicized the issue of combinations has become is there still drawn for scientific discourse to discuss that i'm now joined by the. to mars and

gould or a professor of medicine at harvard medical school professor good to talk to you think you very much for finding the time thank you is great pressure you know what's interesting about your area of expertise is that you're essentially a big data guy you've been recognized for your ability to map out all the breaks before they even happen based on you know number off the initial cases and yet throughout this been damaged i think you found yourself somewhat at odds with other big data companies like twitter. what conclusions can or cannot be drawn from big data don't you find beside brawny. yes very strange and i think it's troubling for for science and society for a couple of decades been doing research on.
