something in history of the british and we want regulation i was interested in. the week's top stories on our vaccine has a. major obstacle for the e.u. is already stalling rollout with regulators struggling to convince people that the astra zeneca is safe. since it has been shown people who have died after getting vaccinated the risk is low in their best interest. trust. dark. rising in decades with. bombs and torching police cars amid fury of a post trade barriers. the former u.s. intelligence analyst faces years in prison for exposing america's drone warfare program we speak to
4:01 pm
a whistleblower who's in close contact with him. 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. and that means we're taking you through some of the biggest stories that we've covered here over the past 7 days some calling bright welcome to the program. this week's been struggling to revive public trust in the astra zeneca covert vaccine it's one of the 2 leading jobs being used across those 27 nations but after initially claiming the shot was entirely safe the european regulators now saying severe blood clots should be listed as a side effect we asked people in italy and france how they view the mixed signals. i mean you want to be 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
4:02 pm
. you know for certain age groups that should be restricted and i personally wouldn't take it as i understand that it can be an advantage for the community but if something goes wrong you could get from basis and then the personal advantage vanishes. for me there is a risk since it has been shown that there are people who have unfortunately died after getting vaccinated it point to subsume the risk is low in their best interest i think so they are never going to say that the risk is high and such but that doesn't surprise me there is a bit of confusion we don't know what to trust so i feel a bit of the dark concerns over a potential link between astra zeneca and red blood clots is exposing the latest divisions within the e.u. after the book's agency that evaluates in supervises medicinal products that may once again said the benefits of the vaccine weigh the risks but saying that blood clots should be listed as a rare so i defect not although we're convinced it measures have been taken
4:03 pm
it's only in spain of joint drunks with germany deciding to limit the job to those who are over the age of 60 belgium has followed suit with prudence now only recommending astra zeneca for those over 50 full life 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 a member states to ask experts to work with him up to the coherent approach across the region through their guidance and analysis the trustee speaks truly important we want to avoid of course the vaccination as however it may be that. this ship has already sailed here in front there have been reports of people not turning up with a coup the vaccination if it's astra zeneca and confusion over who should and who
4:04 pm
shouldn't have it is why there is also a question to be almost about why certain countries are making unilateral decisions against evolution of the may yet 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
4:05 pm
recommending that healthy people under 30 are provided with a different fact seen adults who are age 18 to 29 years old should be offered an alternative covert night in fact seen in preference to the astra zeneca vaccine regulators are now would voicing that astra zeneca 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 current nightmare so all of the will be out see paris. meanwhile supply shortages continue to plague the news an occupation effort and attention shifting to an alternative vaccine the russian made so far just one nation and western europe has fully embraced the job the microstate of summary know we spoke with a senior official there. ok we thought out of

doors fred we faced a delayed 5 the 1st doses of the pfizer vaccine which were covered by protocol agreements between. the pandemic forced us has 4 other solutions on the market through cooperation with the russian direct investment fund that we managed to pay you does so that's because if the vaccines start our sex mission campaign vaccinations are now primarily being carried out with. we had an opportunity to receive scientific proof that this is a good and reliable vaccine as 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 detectives comply with the standard reaction to. which include low grade fever chills and so on right now we have no problems with the. summary no hopes to complete its vaccination campaign by

the enclave which is located within its elite this home to around 34000 people the most adults there are lined up for the sputnik jab 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 and the jobs it has been a very good experience of cooperation and i hope we will do it again and the course of future vaccination campaign. 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 exist to vaccines on the european market is limited which complicated the start of our vaccination campaign we decided to contact the russian direct investment fund
4:08 pm
regarding sputnik the. on the european medicines agency is still considering whether to approve as a process that's been going on for months now former italian m.p. told us the regulator needs to act faster. being that europe is the jewel matcher to. give india outgrew we. do seizure or worse in europe under political point of view with visas to be there do you go and learn that point of view i refer to being 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. that a wheel is screwed up but in case they do not. do that anyway our government is that governments should go along and choose what they want. developments this sunday a blackout at a nuclear site in iran's being described as an act of terrorism by government

4:10 pm

4:11 pm
minister's expressed his alarm and 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 northern ireland's justice ministers blame the u.k. government for the flare up i am a long accused the conservatives of dishonesty over the way bracks it would affect the irish border saying they promised unfettered access while failing to work through the legal consequences she also slammed the british government's decision to suspend the northern arc of the protocol which was part of the u.k.'s withdrawal agreement with the e.u. they ended ensuring an open border jonathan tong professor of british and irish politics thinks the government made a series of false promises to the people of northern ireland. for the british government johnson in particular after a considerable amount of responsibility it was part of johnson who went over to
4:12 pm
belfast it's only democratic party the largest party in northern ireland told the public party conference 3 years ago that it would be untold for any british government to preside over the border in the irish sea for his johnson says hockey's previous that's the reason many signing a deal with it a year for his johnson done that and since then he spent a lot of time pretending that the real world between great britain and northern ireland so you just said one of the single 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 leaders to mitigate some of the worst effects the protocol and diminish the number of checks good on puts good between great britain and northern ireland otherwise we were looking at a grim some of the tensions of violence all the time you're. 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
4:13 pm
at national defense information and his case comes amid mass disclosure of similar crimes allegedly perpetrated by the united states. 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
4:14 pm
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
4:15 pm
them it's a violation of international law data which gave to the online news site the intercept back in 24 tape was made available to the public and he's now accused of disclosing classified intelligence information his supporters say these kind of explosions 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 that related to their disclosure is protected by the 1st amendment hale was arrested 2 years ago and charged with violating the espionage act and also other related offenses president biden has imposed temporary restrictions on drone strikes in most countries but there are reports that he aims
4:16 pm
to boost exports about manned weapons to countries including those with poor human rights records john kiriakou again says however justified whistleblowers exposure of drone strikes they've got next to no chance of proving that to the u.s. authorities. 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
4:17 pm
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. this is the way to say you know as we gear up for monday's historic out of us 3 of the 1st human and space we're going to continue our special coverage at little bit later in the program russia's 1st woman on the international space station tells us about language problems on the return to earth. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy
4:18 pm
confrontation let it be an arms race. hearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. in my ear and a misguided believe by many of that by locking down the whole society you can somehow protect all high risk people but we're seeing those sort of on years that wasn't the case did not present. the high risk pool of people because in the u.s. we were. over half a 1000000 deaths most little of people there was a complete failure to think about these large dance would actually protect all the high risk people.
4:19 pm

4:25 pm
a small elf every cosmonaut is an inch near as well as a researcher i also had an additional function i was the cruise doctor our functions were interchangeable all of us did the routine tasks into and there was also plenty of research work for our crew carried out more than 60 experiments in areas including biotechnology astrophysics and chemistry our crew work together in harmony and we had no language problems as there are 2 international languages on the i assess russian and english and we communicated by mixing languages a board you could call it. our brains are always trying to remember shorter words so sometimes when i was back on earth i found myself remembering an english word but not the russian so we worked in unison everyone has their own mission at the weekends we would get together we celebrated some holidays or just fridays watched movies listen to music talk to each other there was work and saturdays and sundays
4:26 pm
but not as intense as the weekdays sometimes we even saying to a guitar as there is one on the r.s.s. . but almost it's just i miss being in space the feeling of the space flight is very special just to give you an idea in the u.s. orbital segment there is a glass more chill as we make 16 fool orbits around the air each day we often fly over the night side and when you're in that more turn off the lights so you can feel you're flying over the earth and you do not feel like you're in the station and that's a great sensation like being in and it is something i miss. now ultimately scientists year later was none too pleased as you might imagine with reporters asking her how she'd look after her hair in space pointing out that male cosmonauts would get no such questions even so it is something that all crew do need to consider so we got the lowdown from the person in charge of interstellar styling.
4:27 pm
