a poll finds the top of people in the czech republic modern russia sputnik even europe's medicine agency still holds back from approving the job despite mounting interest from the state's. gender reassignment treatment of young people in a move that has split republicans we hear from a form of transport about the dangers of changing sex too girly. many things are real problems for bone structure natural development of the brain is interrupted. 60 years to the day since russian cosmonaut yuri gagarin transcended the limits of the terrestrial by becoming the 1st man in space to

celebrate the anniversary our correspondent got a taste of 0 gravity down here on earth. it feels unusual. i mean i really can't believe that this is what caused the nuts feel one of the you know floats around the space station and. it's amazing. thanks for joining us here on our international. almost half of people in the czech republic are ready to use russia sputnik the vaccine if it's approved by prague this is amid a spike in interest in the job in europe which the medical authorities have yet to approve go live to our correspondent in berlin peter all of a good morning to you peter was the very latest on the europe's vaccine plants.

well the czech republic could be sent to follow hungry and start using russia's sputnik v vaccine before it gets approval from the european medicines agency the czech president the man made the announcement he was also critical of the slow pace at which the e.m.e.a. approval for the sputnik v. vaccine has taken. if the decision on sputnik the registration is made by our national regulator it will be enough to start using it as happened in hungary as for the european medicines agency it is very slow well new infections in the czech republic have started to relent in recent days that's following the country being gripped by a 3rd wave of the covert 19 pandemic now a recent poll showed that just under half of the czech citizens who were asked the question said that they would take the sputnik the vaccine without a.m.a. approval as long as health authorities from prague had given

a green light now just over the border in austria they're a little further along when it comes to getting sputnik into the country negotiations that have been going on for a little while were conklin over the weekend between vienna and moscow for the purchase of this button in the back the austrian chancellor surpassed the in court saying that sputnik v. would provide an additional turbo boost for austria's vaccination program. michel the e.u. council president has also been speaking he acknowledged that there is differences between member states when it comes to the use of russia's thing. there's a lot of pressure on politicians people are getting impatient they want to get vaccinated governments want to do all they can also control this insensitivity regarding sputnik the among you member states. at the back end of last week from

here in germany against farm the health minister said that berlin would be looking to set up its own deals to purchase footnote v. once it gets the green light from the european medicines agency now the reason germany would be setting up its own deals is because the european commission has already said it's no plans to purchase sputnik v. as part of its joint procurement mechanism for the whole of the european union in response to that statement from germany we've heard from the foreign minister in france who said that he thinks that all a bit of a p.r. stunt designed to. give some confidence to the local market here in germany of course we've got a big election coming up in september election for the bundestag however the french foreign minister did say that he wouldn't rule out taking any vaccine based on where it come from saying that if it's a vaccine it's good it's a vaccine that's good when it comes to this all important european medicines agency approval for sputnik v.

well the process is on the way it started on march the 4th it's expected to run through until the end of may when we should get an answer once that approval comes through of course we may well see a slew of e.u. nations jumping on board deals to get support that v.t. handouts to their citizens thanks for the update peter that's our correspondent live from berlin peter all about the. divisions in the u.s. republican party are deepening as witnessed in arkansas where the republican governor's bid to veto a transgender bill was overturned by party members the law forbids transgender treatment for under-age people it's been called the strictest anti trans youth measure in the country journalist won't reverse his sex change says that it will protect young people from making a dangerous mistake. i reach about 300000000 people a year and help people every day who also have regret or have

a story just like mine and want to do a transition so i've worked with a lot of young people who were diagnosed by a so-called doctor telling him that they had gender dysphoria have gone and met with the children and been around with them and none of them that i've come across had gender dysphoria that was a fox diagnosis and in working with the children i've had them the transition the harm that it's done is that it causes. many things real problems for bone structure oftentimes in a natural development of the brain is interrupted what we know from sweden is that after you go through these procedures share 19 times more likely to die from suicide and you would if you didn't go through the surgery so what they're doing is really horrible the archosaur governor defended his failed attempt to veto the bill

is a conservative step against government overreach what do you hope my veto will call my republican colleagues across the country to resist the temptation to put the states in the middle of every decision made by parents and health care professionals they all console bill bradley stopped just from providing gender affirming procedures puberty blockers or surgery for people under the age of 18 as well as from referring them to other professionals for the transition from the president donald trump blasted the governor after vetoed the bill saying that spell the end of his political career of hair again says the transgender debates become a source of money and political leverage for some. you know big pharma has a great interest in selling hormone therapy to people who don't need it the people who make the hormone blockers the advocates you know whether it's facebook or he said there are big platforms raise money for these advocate groups and

i think it's horrible what they're doing and it's really political it's not a medical thing now it's become totally political because what they're doing is not providing medical care at all they're raising money for these activists to perform unnecessary surgeries and harm kids. 16 years ago today russian cosmonaut yuri gagarin became the 1st human to leave earth's atmosphere his trip into war but is widely seen as starting the space race but it actually helped break barriers in terms of human achievements but between east and west. good afternoon the soviet union announced it had launched big number 2 for.

me are you in the midst of a. kind . of school football game the more. open floor of the blog.

for a. while for the russian market information about why dollars worth of problems facing the soviet. the space flight made to govern the national hero he lived fast and died young at the age of just $34.00 during a test flight accident videos and photos such as these are the only connection we have with the 1st space traveler as well as the memories of those who knew him his interpreter in france shared with us. well at the here pit everyone not only recognized him but tried to get closer to him if that was a crowd god meant the current was in the center of it everyone smiled but there was no other way of looking at him and he has

a special place in everyone's heart because he was our one man the fastnesses and space and suddenly he was standing near molecules which in close to you if i was surprised that everyone recognized even though he wasn't that tall and was just wearing civilian clothes everyone rushed woods him to him what he had to say. we were watching us in top artists and were signed to a helicopter company so my colleague and i were inside helicopter learning the tom enormity characteristics of how to cope has flight range lifting capacity and so on we had to recite it by heart to the french and once we met a pilot who also watched the company he was a decorated test pilot a hero of the soviet union yuri deny it he told us your guard is coming tomorrow he's my friend to be honest we didn't believe him because all the pilots were

saying that garden stuff friend and he was like should i invite him him he said of course because we just didn't believe or she was saying and shortly after we were told the car and had actually arrived connive came to a helicopter and we asked him so was the guard you promise to bring him he said i'll bring him now and he left and came back with him we were shocked the gaar in the legend like a gold to us came into the helicopter and introduced himself we read and stood open mouthed and he smiled then an engineer run over to us and said gulls stand next to current and i'll take a photo with you we went over to a guard who had already left the helicopter and i asked him shyly can you please take a photo of you in the back. round he laughed and responded oh my i'm just a background for them. or really a photo of good current can i have some french people around me was hiding in the building of the is yesterday's paper my friend phoned my mother and said step to

the sitting close to the guard in paris if mom ran over to see it with her own eyes she said it was raining but she didn't care she told me off she said how come you were in paris and you sitting next to darren in a calico dress you brought back so many could dresses with you i tried to tell her that it was an average roman rule that every dates and morning till night was windy and rainy but no she said why are you sitting in a calico dress next to a car and. well the idea of space travel they fascinate and even entice but it does have downsides as microgravity can cause dizziness headaches and other unpleasant symptoms but since governs groundbreaking trip many moons ago scientists have worked on minimizing the side effects by simulating weightlessness down here on earth including with special belts parties on constantine that are scoffed took the plunge.

right off the bat what can i say. it feels unusual. i mean i really can't believe that this is what caused us feel when they you know float around a space station it's. it's amazing you know i was told that those who take part in the study the actually have to spend here inside this tub from 7 to 21 days and yes that means even eating and you're e-mailing another a fact of these conditions is that your body and your spine stretch out a lot of people they actually grow by 2 to 3 centimeters overall i

want to say it's even relaxing if it's not for the cameras and you know and people who always stare at the. dry immersion in there of a neutral water snow can be fun in the beginning and i had fun that's for sure but the pleasure as they say words are pretty quick well for one this might be boring because you know all you do is just float in the tub while scientists conduct their research and you know there's not so much to entertain yourself with on top of that the longer you expose your body to microgravity the more negative effects kick in. in space microgravity can have a serious impact on your body causing muscles to atrophy bones to lose calcium even your internal organs and i can change shape as far as

a no vision also deteriorates if you stay in space for a long time therefore a lot more research needs to be carried out to help close went on. at this point scientist want to focus on women and what a fact weightlessness has on their bodies after decades of space exploration well there are still relatively few female causes. and there was limited data available on how women react to space travel. the experiment takes place at an institute in moscow known for long term simulations of trips to space and one of its trademark features says this mole type compartment facility that is used to play out would be missions to moon and mars and see how crewmembers are going to act together in isolation and confinement so let me actually give you a quick tour inside. so

this 1st area is a refrigerator or facility and those are the actual fridges huge ones. those are used mainly for food because you have to realize that while in space no one's cooks you have to take food with you and. because of that it needs to be frozen so here we have a storage facility and you know this place is used for everything cloves equipment and you know everything that is needed for space mission here it's a greenhouse this is where they have plants this room over here it's obviously a gym and it's also a very important part of every space station or every space mission so there's another passage let's have a look. while

this appears to be a kitchen i guess because of the microwave and by the way look at the c.c.t.v. cameras there are average where all over 123455 cameras just in one kitchen well that is because everything that people subjects of. an experiment everything that they do is being constantly monitored by scientist who you know gauge their behavior and you know make certain conclusions so let's move on ok so this is were cosmin on for those who take part in experiments they live. so this is yeah this is the light control the mirror yeah but yeah it's not too off it's not to be 3 crumpets space here but. yeah this is what you get when you are

on a very important space assignment right it's not a 5 star hotel. they're in an enclosed space where they can't talk to their family they're deprived of communications and isolated from the outside world above they don't receive news and have no idea what's going on they can't go outside for a walk they don't know if it's day or night and the biorhythms get thrown out of sync by staying in this environment with all this has a negative effect on their psychological wellbeing right now the institute is going to ready for another round of experiments both in this markup station and in 0 gravity tubs you know after decades of space exploration there is still a lot of the and know and the more you research it on the ground the safer is going to be out there in space. ok let's return now to the topic of sputnik the $20000.00 doses of the russian vaccine will arrive in the philippines this week a total of $500000.00 going to be delivered by the end of april the 20 1000000

doses to be delivered in all last months but was approved for emergency use in the country along with china. which is already being rolled out philippines of 30 same to vaccinate up to 70000000 people this year. please to say that i'm joined live on the line now by jr who is the secretary of foreign and foreign affairs for the philippines very good to have you on r.t. mr secretary thanks so much 1st of all you tweeted that you were turning every stone to get sputnik the in you said it's the one that you would even trust your life to the review of spin even the lancet has been pretty definitive they called it safe and effective why do you have such high confidence in it. well it came from there from the original interview there's a. friend of mine who's a businesswoman she's a one of the biggest. liqueur manufacturers in the country and she's got on her

businesses and she's a very close relations with the russians and she says that you've got to talk to them get a book to become a lawyer groups etc so then they put us and zoom and their government their group on the other side of the screen and the screen and me here and they start talking about the militias features and then suddenly i'm looking at them and then the guys really is this good that the president of the company and all of that the one speaking incest and this is really good this is going to build up our fears about those who are all myself being all those who are who are to young and so on and he says all of it often lead us from from very young little earlier to nearly but you look and and and then he says and then he looks at my face and he says i don't think you really believe me and he and he says when i tell you what you don't have

to be into didn't just pick up the last of june and you can see for yourself if you really know that he was the only one since he reviewed buck scene and you read it for yourself lead 2 days i think up the lancet then and that set off like a rocket and i said we need. it is the risk to have it be reviewed that it passed with flying colors and i know there was a bit of a resistance because we're kind of a western oriented country i was myself as a congressman bush for for. generic medicine because the pharmaceutical companies were charging them in fall or all our medicines and then i had to hide i was trying to bring on the price of medicines but even the public said no no. only for western brands but in this case it might that encountered that and perhaps there was a little hesitation on the part of the government but i kept pushing for it because

i know this works. and they're confident that this girl so ready to submit themselves to the strictest peer review possible know what they're talking about and of course in the course of that time was that was given you put it over you know having a hole in. the finally you know who fired so i called up. just foreign minister and most the news that it is you would call it for the new sanogo they had a good. no nonsense guide and said ok. we're bit late but let me see what i can do about it and then minutes or by my hung up there is the response comes we're getting a sample 1st of that the thousands and the brahmas from the very start even when we were just thinking about was a 20 percent of our population would be addressed by government and i'm perfect confidence that. he talked about cooperation that with russia presidents to putin

a shuttle to discuss further cooperation on battling the kind of virus pandemic do you know this point what areas of cooperation they might be discussing. what did we actually do original proposal with the very generous it was that the who put up the manufacturing facilities here nothing a lot but it something that would focused. on the coronavirus 1st and that the good because what i am what i think you're both we're both getting from from the from the world media responsible one saying that well this is going to be with us for a long time it will become endemic of there being and so we're going to need to have a manufacturing facility here to produce 'd buckskins what i'm sure the best research will continue to take place in russia but still the capacity to put it out with it

will will need to be local and that was russia's offer immediately from the start not them who will you don't monopolize the production up in this and put it up there. that's but that's down the road. of the of coffee. factory but that's it that's also in the works. and i'm sure that are based this much i do know. people will say well i should play should russia have this. well i just not until well but i am fascinated with russian history currently reading shots of it since august 1014 wow that's what in piece for the think it said shit. and i don't know that that's russia struggled out of this after the 1st world war and then the revolution came there were things they were they promised to improve the lives of the people some within their control some not perhaps i recall don't want to defend

it with something better than the weather but science and the ability to focus and . you know singularly enough was something of which russia was very good and if the us felt for the war after the. war owes them a small boy when my father taught me to look at the sky at night sky and there's something blinking and that's a remember of we were in the garden. outside. of russian science let's create a story think thanks for sharing just looking back at the beginning of when vaccines started to emerge. i think it's fair to say that there was a concept that's been described as vaccine nationalism some countries maybe out of fear. looking to kind of hoards allocations of vaccines or maybe out of a perception they could use it as leverage do you think there's been enough

collaboration between countries and is there more that still needs to be done to make sure that everybody around the world gets access. well when i discuss this with other foreign leaders with other circuit bodies or ministers of foreign affairs i never think that the row ducks in nationalism box in diplomacy i've never encountered i remember when china when i was talking to my good friend one he and we were discussing about but since that you know he he never said you'd have all you want or anything like that he said you know what i'm going to we're going to meet the philippines because my president told your president that when this thing gets it's really bad we're going to be there but i'm telling you we are not offering it for sale because we need it for ourselves you know $1300000000.00 chinese we're going to need this so nobody was that lee and now it's true that in

europe there seem to be trouble within the e.u. about the regulations and how to handle the vaccine and that may have cost a shortage or a delay in the deployment of the vaccines and that suddenly i can supplies but i don't think it was deliberate vaccine nationalism every government has to think of itself and perhaps if we were not going to admit we were not so overly cautious in their conduct since we might have we might have got them firm commitments early on because i was studying this even though the western foreign minister i'm not one of those who are going to call on we're going to make it the best for bussy nationalism but there you have this weird but yes you mean this vaccine nationalism i think there you want that within the western capitalist system. contract is a contract and that secret if we had signed early we'd be getting you even with nazi nationalism but they did a song now we have we formed our own friends among those friends is

rush. mr secretary really appreciate you taking the time to speak to us and most of all you have a very frank views that thanks so much to dora looks into a nearby guest secretary of foreign affairs for the philippines. thank you. ok there we should run out today to appreciate you being with me here this morning with updates for you see you in 30 years.

i think one of the worst things as a kid is what you want to do it's not what you want to do it's why do you do the things you do you could design a life that is focused on your being aware of work as a way of expression people ask me what motivates me every day and i look i'm just being me i started my company because it was an expression of myself i am just painting on a canvas but i think if we can teach them that think of their work and their life as a place to express themselves and then dream of what they see themselves becoming having that strategic mistake makes you think more long term rather than the short term what athletes are told to picture making the shot before they take the shot and i think that the same thing is true for.
