the week's top stories here. e.u. officials. however there. is already. police. on the program. because he was exposing a war crime he's not allowed to see that he really doesn't have any chance of

acquittal. the european medicines agency. job saying the benefits outweigh the risks while noting that blood clots should be rare side effects the regulator has received more than 200 reports of unusual blood clots and those getting the shot. all across europe now over in the u.k. authorities say that people under the age of 30 will be offered alternatives to the . possible risks. but. taking the same line as the european medicines agency or at least. according

to our correspondent what our guest here. the takeaway the message that europe's health authorities want to leave you with is that it's still worth it the benefits outweigh the risks the benefits outweigh the risks and there's become almost a slogan for the astra zeneca proven vaccine earth portrait cases of unusual blood clotting following vaccination with the astra zeneca vaccine should be listed as possible side effects of the vaccine it's unfortunate start both vaccinated people and health care professionals are aware of the signs and symptoms of these unusual blood clotting to cylinders so that they could be spotted quickly to minimize any possible risks so why did it take so long i mean the rumors began months and months ago and it was all in the news on t.v. in the papers and the company kept telling everyone the same thing there's a new link between the jab and the well dive analysis of our safety

data more than 10000000 records has shown no evidence of an increased risk of palm billie's or deep vein thrombosis and a defined age group gender batch or in any particular country unfortunately there was a link and now the astra zeneca job will have either diesel warning or it can cause blood clots and potentially death in people as young as 8 seed the age the youngest deceased and still they say it's worth it unless of course you can go and get another job in which case probably best to go for that their words adults who are age 18 to 29 years old who do not have an underlying health condition that puts them at higher risk from serious kovan 1000 disease should be offered an alternative covert night in fact seen in preference to. the astra zeneca vaccine

where such an alternative is available over a dozen countries only counting the european union have suspended vaccination with the astra zeneca vaccine or that servia can please their marketing department though i doubt that a simple rebranding is going to cleanse their reputation i would definitely say is a stupid move because changing the name which means changing your shop window right in the midst of a crisis rather than increasing trust will increase because it always indicates that there is something you want to hide so i absolutely do not understand how a company comes to such a decision at the end of the day i can't help but partially agree with them the alternative waiting for another vaccine could have cost thousands of lives but only partially they let these rumors steward fester for months before coming out and

admitting that essentially people were rights to be afraid and that unfortunately has done irreparable damage to the vaccination drive worldwide vaccine shortages across the e.u. have prompted several member states to question the block's joint procurement scheme austria is one of them and chancellor sebastian kurtz has already negotiated a possible purchase of the russians sputnik feature. it would help us a lot because the vaccination process would be significantly accelerated i advocate that we do this we are now coordinating this with the federal government i really hope that we will be able to acquire this vaccine as well as use it this is not only my decision but i strongly support it. and germany's health minister says his country is also in talks to buy the sputnik v. shot from russia however the european medicines agency has deferred over the decision and has yet to grant approval for the job the former european commission president are drunk or young says that if sputnik the gets the green light the e.u.

should include it in its procurement program and one cancer surgeon we spoke to things europe has allowed politics to get in the way of saving lives. we need the vaccines and the problem is it was a political initial we many people in europe didn't except the russian black sea and sputnik is a good backseat and yet they were coming out and saying well this is not what we want let's look at the european at alternatives and you see here the problem is the politicians have fields to cover the nations with adequate back seeing dozes and this is the problem we have we don't have enough back scenes and if you see what she right now is that we're going back and asking russia for school next we should have done that much much earlier we need all the players all the players on the table in debt includes the school expects scene which has excellent data out there as has pfizer and as has modern so we should have known that much earlier in order to be able to provide our. nationals with adequate backseat to such as it and

now we are pretty close political shortcomings with human lives. in northern ireland has been gripped by rioting throughout the week of police fired water cannon for the 1st time in 6 years as pro u.k. loyalists and irish nationalists faced off now the disturbances come amid a wave of anger of a post breaks at trade barriers we'll show you the scene in belfast on friday night protesters torched a trash can a cold rocks in petrol bombs at police northern ireland's the 1st minister involved has urged both sides to show restraint the british prime minister has expressed his alarm. has called for dialogue. i am deeply concerned by the scenes of violence in 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 the northern islands justice minister has blamed the u.k. government for the flare up now in the long accuse the conservatives of dishonesty over the way bracks it would affect the irish border saying that they had promised on effect that access while failing to work through the legal consequences she also slammed the british government's decision to suspend the northern ireland protocol which was a part of the u.k.'s withdrawal agreement with the e.u. aimed at ensuring an open border jonathan tong a professor of british and irish politics thinks the government made a series of false promises to the people of northern ireland. well the british government and bob johnson in particular have to bear a considerable amount of responsibility it was part of johnson who went over to belfast and totally democratic party the largest party in northern ireland told a public party conference 3 years ago that it would be untold for any british government to preside over a boarder in the irish sea for his johnson was attacking his previous us to treason

a society gets to deal with it a year for his johnson we've done that and since then we spent a lot of time pretending that the reason this war between great britain and northern ireland so you just have more of a simple i'm feeling terrible sense of betrayal over what the prime minister was don't think that boris johnson needs to go to northern ireland explain what he's done in terms of of the protocol and try and also meet with the you leaders to mitigate some of the worst effects the protocol and diminish the number of checks get on puts go between great britain and northern ireland otherwise we're looking at a grim some of the tensions of violence in northern ireland. a former u.s. intelligence analyst faces up to 10 years in prison for blowing the whistle on washington's drone assassination program daniel hale pleaded guilty to transmitting national defense information his case comes amid master sgt disclosure of similar crimes allegedly perpetrated by the us.

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 news site the

intercept back in 2014 was actually made available to the public and he's now accused of disclosing classified intelligence information his supporters say these kinds of exposures are essential using the espionage act in this way to prosecute journalists sources and 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 a vital public importance and they related to their disclosure is protected by the 1st amendment but hale was arrested 2 years ago in charge with violating the espionage act among other related offenses our president biden has imposed temporary restrictions on drone strikes in 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 says however justified whistleblowers exposures of drone strikes may seem to be they have next to no chance of proving that to us or for a tease. this is the 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 his son 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. it is often international as we gear up for monday's historic anniversary of the 1st human operate above the planet there in our team we continue our special coverage for you and of russian cosmonaut tells us the personal belongings he'll be taking to space on the perfect hair length to 0 gravity that and much more just about. 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. what is true. is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura maybe in the shallowness. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic to follow only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and

talk. to have you with us on this sunday or the mayor of the french city has been accused of stealing kids' dreams by telling them to drop any ambitions of flying she's also scrapped funding for the aviation clubs well as he is party boy through want to abort my jacket hit the runway and got reaction to the grounding from a flight instructor. how much are you willing to sacrifice to save the world and travel is a major contributor to climate change that's

a fun book and told us to give it up i'm now a green mer in france and still kids to flog about flying. their young environmentalist matter of the french city of what ca one. has said that kids should give up their dream of flying in france of all places the oh you were mad bus the birthplace of the creator of the little prince i'm trying to sign things you can't leave leo and all along called louise who is 31 years old has said and i quote we must protect the children from some dreams sadly aviation must no longer be part of the dreams of the children of today and then she went and slashed government funding through the local flight clubs in her area because in her opinion government money shouldn't be spent on a sport that has

a carbon footprint so i'm off to meet a flight instructor and examiner. to find out what he thinks about the idea of stopping flying 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 oil because everybody knows you still can come short form for. pollution point of view the m 25 in one hour in russia has more pollution than the whole of the g.i. fleet smaller class so the m 25 being the big ring road because it means to keep where you have international viewers to be green right out of the routes of the london so that's more pollution in one hour than what we have in geo i carry it for you ok the a.b.a. general idea is generally easier with it off the printer and this isn't as large as

it would be going to be listed in the minds of wow that's a big claim a big yes a big claim for what you say isn't the young people who just say you're just an old man that loves flying and is obsessed with you know his own past time and isn't thinking about requirement emergent say. but but if you're thinking about climate if you plot the emergence if there were things of more important news of law. something nice to be done for my grandchildren or great but generally the ocean. is just a pimple on the pigs but solid. but i think what really struck a nerve with the liberty loving french was this idea that kids can even dream of flying anymore luckily for 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 taking on creating new nonpolluting models. this week the international space station has welcomed a new a 3 man crew 2 russians and one from the u.s. of a launch come ahead of tomorrow's on a story of the 1st human space flight. the rocket took off from the same site from soviet cosmonaut yuri gagarin and made history on the morning of the 12th of april $961.00 is a false one craft blasted into orbit circling the earth for 108 minutes the flight brought an instant global fame so we sent correspondents all around the world to

find out if the memory is still alive. to produce. your gathered up of the finest confidence 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. have it are supposed to. be focused right now but it was the p.c. 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. a few. stumbling stone out of it all of us people are below you know what i'm going to get you i don't know if you'll be got ready for this trip i did last time how far you've ever been to start to feel what if what i did. probably. his name is he put it. off for now they say how do you know. it will be a good the film out there will see a picture of your book you are going to be with the goldberg of the world. became god really all. i know about fullest and such will be in 2000 and she taught me to go to

a lot of the shuffle from all of them. now the. above listed movie you're going to watch of some of the on the. you already judge. not. kidding me or do you want to go to any. kind of hole in a little bit of the kitchen and on that i don't know judy id. you know. that's something. made with the middle of it i'm assuming there would. be a big easy anything we don't operate on what then do you have. invented in.

the. lead to merkel. who are bogus when you have to be hearing the. i think. of russian guy the 1st guy and. something right. is real i get out there he was in that movie with my chevy chase down at words like that in the eighty's. miracle. mystery. and let. me take you to the never and. here we go we're. sporting the. well

a russian cosmonaut has told us whether getting along with other crew members is entirely necessary and other various secret self space travel. but also of course this is an impressive date 60 years and the 1st flight of a man from our country will always be remembered all around the globe. the challenges you went through what you've learned do you feel completely different now than before starting space training 9 years ago was everything the way you expected it to be here i can't say i expected something specific had an idea about the cosmonauts training regime but it turned out to be even more intense apart from the physical exercises and work with specialized equipment a lot of attention is paid to education fieri and a huge number of continuous tests and exams i didn't expect that if you compare me with me 9 years ago i can definitely say that i got pumped up the system pumped me

the conditions around me my education my training of course this is the goal to acquire skills to strengthen the person to get him ready for flight this is how the system works i love our special training like surviving in different nature conditions it impressed me it's exciting i happily do those every time we fall in different teams i really like that because i have an opportunity to work with various cosmonauts. teams are always different does that mean a cosmin out is ready to adapt to be not just a leader but a subordinate of course it is a requirement when you are assigned to a team you get your role you can be a flight engineer or maybe a commander the lead to has the most responsibility he makes the decisions and it is important to fulfill your role to know your place does await a successful safe and quality missions there's

a cosmonaut candidate think about empathy whether they like a person or not no matter if you are a woman or a man is it important to feel that the person you're working with is your friend. we are all human and we always have someone we feel more or less comfortable with everyone evaluates the commander in their own way it is normal there is also professional ethics competency in work when there is problems crop up usually people can make suggestions but the final decision is up to the commander and it is not negotiable and no one tries to start a conflict over that you will only make the situation worse and eventually you will achieve their objectives late with the worst resolved or won't finish it all and that is in no one's interests people are invested in the team's success you have to keep your own ambitions in check cosmonauts always take something personal with them on a flight i think you can take about

a kilo can i ask you what would you take with you we haven't thought about it but i think something maybe a picture that would remind me of those close to me the part of the story is it true that it is better for a cost not to have a short haircut yes dear if we look at russian foreign cosmonauts we can see that in fact there aren't a lot of them with short him and i see a tendency of not causing the hair short i think it might be that suits have a break for example then you have one fly apart and will be tied neatly in the only bothersome. are some news just in from iran government officials are now describing a block out of a nuclear facility as a terrorist incident the not tons of nuclear sites suffered an outage earlier on sunday which was initially described as an electrical grid failure happened just hours after iran launched a new set of brand new advanced centrifuges for foster your aim in richmond last

year there was an explosion at the very same facility which authorities called an act of sabotage and so far tehran has given no indication as to who may be responsible for. we will keep you posted on this we're keeping a close watch also any details you can always catch him online at www dot call. with more of your weekly stars.

i mean. this is. the 1st one to open. the border in the world. to. see if it was my. pleasure from the films. he's.
