this hour's headlines stories. seem to the european union or u.s. health authorities. could meet in person for the 1st time in the forseeable future for the 2 presidents a full conversation touching on current issues. they still virgins see is the. curfew for a 2nd straight night following the fatal shooting of a block by police. to
2:01 pm
the world this is r t pleasure to have your company my name in the. u.s. health authorities are advising against the use of the johnson. seen after 6 recipients in the country develop blood clots the american company says it is aware of the rare disorder decided to delay. johnson and johnson have described this as a proactive delay to their vaccine being rolled out across the european union they had expected that they would be giving vaccines to people 'd by the end of this week however that is not going to happen it follows a move by regulators in the united states to suspend the use of the vaccine there are 6 people who would have the vaccine developed what was called a rare blood clotting disorder out of an abundance of caution decide to see an
2:02 pm
f.d.a. have recommended a pause in the use of our vaccine in addition we've been reviewing these cases with european health authorities we have made the decision to proactively delayed the rollout of our vaccine in europe but this news comes after the european continent has passed a grim milestone on monday that $52.00 countries that make up the european landmass passed $1000000.00 cove the deaths in total now in the european union the $27.00 member states there they're paying close attention to what's happening when it comes to this johnson and johnson suspension the vaccine program in europe of course hasn't been well particularly successful at least certainly not particularly quick and there's a lot of criticism of it here in germany the talk has been less about vaccines and more about lockdowns in particular who has the power to lock down german chancellor angela merkel wants to have more power to do just that the way it works in the
2:03 pm
german constitution is the chancellor can say we all should be doing this but ultimately it's up to the 16 states that make up germany to decide individually how they are going to implement measures that have been decided from the top well what angela merkel wants to be able to do is to have more power to not just be able to say this is what we should be doing but to say this is what you are doing. and in the uniform national right emergency brake is all. would you because even though it's difficult to hear this again the situation is serious and all of us have to take it seriously well the idea of taking power away from the local authorities and giving it to berlin hasn't gone down well with some germans. i think it's nonsense on a national level complete nonsense the region should decide for themselves and to put the whole country in lockdown a curfew i think is completely exaggerated from the bullet on at the end of the day
2:04 pm
i think these measures sol coming the too late i think it's also a bit of a serfdom to them i mean the state has failed so often in many places especially in the area of testing creating testing capacities and so on as if in this kind of force well i think it's terrible when one person here decides what we have to do and what we don't have to do that's very very scary for me the move has to be voted through the bundestag parliament here in germany there's no exact time frame set for that just yet but those in the know talking about it happening before the end of this week. vaccine tourism is on the rise amid faltering rollouts distrust in certain shops we follow one frenchmen script all the way so moscow to get the sputnik job that is ahead later in the. second day of race riots in the u.s. state of minnesota seen national guard troops the ploy to the city of brooklyn
2:05 pm
center. i don't know how. i. gathered outside the local police station in violation of a curfew which had been imposed as the demonstrations grew violent several areas were looted protesters threw concrete blocks at officers reportedly leaving at least one injured police disperse the crowd firing tear gas and flush grenades a state of emergency has also been declared people also rallied in new york washington d.c. in portland on monday to demand justice for don't say right he was fatally shot by police on sunday after attempting to flee a traffic violation stopped sparking on the streets. they call them over who got your personal opinion from the war. was. 0 over i.
2:06 pm
was. putting my brother in law for the ride because they were. known to the bottle. i. rocks here and other objects thrown at the police department there were reports of shots fired in the area of the police department. was that i don't want all of the all of the above the moment the morning of all of all
2:07 pm
that i want to know. well former police officer dominick is though told us the incident shows there are serious problems within the force. this is either bad training or this is a scared police officer story the problem i'm going to have for me personally as you're going to see a lot of blue live supporters who are going to be jumping to the aid of this police officer saying that it's a high stress circumstance we don't know what she was thinking we you know you can you cue can mistake this was this was this was apparent this was absurd to go to a pistol have it in your hands. obviously have tunnel vision on the suspects how you can mistaken mistakenly grab your pistol instead of your taser after you have had training that makes no sense to me whatsoever you use your hands usually at that taser has been proven over and over and over again to be not a complete tool and there's going to wind up helping the scene out and it is just
2:08 pm
done this is put more cops under the false a false security that a tool is going to replace words and physicality and this is a problem. president putin has held a phone conversation with his american counterpart joe biden one proposal came from the cole is a summit between the leaders which would be held in the near future it would have the aim of making by latrobe relations more stable predictable among the topics discussed where the recent escalation in tensions in east ukraine weapons namely nuclear weapons and specifically the by latrobe strategic arms reduction treaty known as new start well to discuss the cold i'm not joined live by a boy co-host of artie's worlds apart show exotic good to have you on the show moscow reacted positively to joe biden suggestion of a face to face meeting does that mean though it's going to happen and where would it happen. well nothing is certain and this day and age
2:09 pm
i think that most go quite frankly was taking a little bit of back by reach out probably by the end ministration i want to add remind our viewers that these call was placed why they had american outside. it was quite a surprise and it's a waste i mean rising tensions in russia and the west at. the very difficult situation as they are not me it's ukraine but generally speaking out i'm sure there is quite a think he's here in that russia about this. not just bilateral relations that's relations international relations and having some sort of magic dialogue definitely not going to be 2 sides but it will also be a larger international community. you had the 2 leaders examine recently exchanging
2:10 pm
quite a few barbs as well did you what do you expect the meeting to be like on a personal level furley frosty or a chance to break the ice. well you know if you wired it's a very diplomatic. wire that again it was that recent controversial engine you are given by joe biden in which he characterized his russian counterpart as a killer and also down to or rather stated quite affirmatively that we have a soul of this issue cause why disturb here in russia so high so that they russian ambassador in the united states was recalled back to moscow for consultations and even before that even though i if you buy that i. have know each other quite a few years. there is little luck lost it and she goes down.
2:11 pm
some of those tensions that mean from. the bidens time that i didn't work for that bomb administration but i think most specifically dealing with biden visits moscow in 2011 during which he told lies in their words in no uncertain terms that he should not consider running for russia presidency which i think was taken as that as an insult personal and national insult and. you know that. an example of. an acceptable interference in russia is the message that's here's what you just being laying there with in mind do you think there's likely to be any breakthroughs or is this more about perhaps laying foundations for a future working relationship what are the biggest hurdles to overcome. well there are many hurdles and 1st and foremost is the personal one because they're very concerned. by any stretch in particular the sounds and into your position also
2:12 pm
. not just lash arrangement hattery russia on all sorts of issues that there is also an understanding in moscow that this situation in the world has become very very dangerous and there is practically no dialogue between our countries on issues that matter that. kind as a whole what i'm talking about strategic stability here. environmental protection and climate change cyber security it. various conflicts be it in ukraine in syria. it can damage the call it 900 pandemics obviously there are lots and lots of issues and we shout russian mission out you mention there east ukraine in recent weeks we've been seeing reports of rising tensions there do you actually think today's talks could play a positive role in averting a natural military flare up and done by us. well i definitely hope so i want to
2:13 pm
mention that this call i am apt to invite and comes up on the heels of another conversation it's been the. chief says how do you know that both american and russian military had 2 weeks ago and that's called also a place at the end merican initiatives and its size didn't say much about it and they only said that they discussed issues of mutual concern but i don't for a mild source that it was why they're in death and all discussion on this iteration in your brain russia believes that ukraine is doing everything to drive away at its . most. western community for russia i ukraine's membership attentional membership in nato is an absolute right line and this is something that was definitely communicated to the american side but
2:14 pm
obviously the american side also has its grievances. he laid out before i met before russia the one thing i want to say on the ground is that. i doubt. that if it's from. the war on dating a more active turn so if there is any silver lining to come out from the recent flare up of violence that has taken several dozens of lives it's july and reaching out to life in the sense that i have to tell you that very few people who are in moscow believe that something like that would be possible especially after you know joe biden so castillo we call it. accusing his russian counterpart of being killer oksana grit to see you again thanks for sharing your thoughts with us the host of artie's worlds apart show oksana parker.
2:15 pm
fake news or a failure to fact check those are the accusations moscow is leveling at c.n.n. comes after the channel broadcast footage claiming to show russia bolstering its military presence along the border with ukraine russia's foreign minister was quick to point out some clearers. cell phone footage is a merge of armored columns like this one. and of military hardware being transported by rail towards the border. do c.n.n. and its friendly team we understand that you have no time for fact checking they are so deeply involved into the ideological struggle for the triumph of liberalism but not that deep to present ukrainian tanks at a ukrainian station with a ukrainian train behind as the background for russia preparing for war. yeah well let's go through it the real way station you can see here which c.n.n. is in russia is actually located in eastern ukraine in its 4th largest city of you
2:16 pm
can see the same roof the columns in this photo of the station us for the train here well it supports the blue yellow livery of ukrainian trains on the outside of the courage you can in fact see a ukrainian insignia as for the tanks moving past in the footage well they're a soviet era type still in widespread service around the world in fact several years ago the previous ukrainian president published a video of a similar time going auction it was at the end of last month about the situation in the conflict zone known as the donbass region once again began to escalate ukraine the self-proclaimed republics of done yet skinned lugansk blame each other for intensifying military activities in the area at the same time kiev then accused moscow of increasing its military presence near the border the kremlin responded by stating it can do whatever it wants within its own boundaries in while c.n.n.
2:17 pm
has now deleted the photo of the tanks from its website a little the video report can still easily be found online we have contacted the network asking for its response to the story legal media analyst it's likely c.n.n. will turn. to them to think. it's pathetic it is journalistic malpractise nonfeasance misfeasance there is no excuse to get the the only innocent to party used to get them correct i mean this is they should be if this was the real world they should be horrified heads should roll but you know what's going to happen. nothing nobody cares you know why and this is very interesting because it's c.n.n.
2:18 pm
they're in there to to is their excuse it's their their kevil are there they're there i guess their immunity if they're getting that wrong something a view that grave nature think of the little things they're getting wrong and you're paying absolutely nowhere tension to. japan's government has announced it's planning to dump contaminated water from the fukushima nuclear power plant into the pacific ocean more than a 1000000 tonnes will be released the process will only begin in some 2 years time and is expected to take decades to complete the water will be filtered diluted to reportedly safe levels 1st of the move has provoked anger from neighboring countries. despite downs and opposition from home and abroad japan
2:19 pm
has unilaterally decided to release the fukushima nuclear waste water into the sea before exhausting all safe ways of disposal and without fully consulting with neighboring countries and the international community this is highly irresponsible and will severely affect human health and the immediate interests of people in neighboring countries. you're wondering where you've been on the japanese government's decision is absolutely unacceptable the decision to release the fukushima tank water into the scene not only threatens the safety of neighboring countries and the marine environment but also as a measure unilaterally decided without sufficient discussion agreement with our country which is the nearest neighboring country. there's aster at the fukushima nuclear power plant struck in march 28th 11 when a powerful earthquake hit japan's east coast that led to a massive tsunami which triggered one of the worst nuclear catastrophes on record so far the plant is still not being completely decontaminated the way the
2:20 pm
government plans to tackle the issue has received flak including at home but people have rallied the prime minister's office calling on the government to reverse its decision along those strongly opposed to tokyo's plans to dump waste water into the sea is the japanese fishing industry they fear trace radioactivity contaminating fish which then end up on people's plates. my 3 sons will followed in my footsteps and a fisherman if they contaminated water is discharged into the sea how can they make a living in the future i strongly oppose the decision to dump the waste water into the ocean. i'm in shock i'm originally from fukushima and so i think i feel it more i'm very shocked i do not wish a tool for it to be released into the sea logical. when the disaster happy. and you had to act to treat the area through decontamination but then don't foolishly
2:21 pm
spread the contamination further after the disaster. the japanese government though stands by its this isn't claiming it's the only feasible way to tackle the consequences of the 2011 disaster in the country has the support of the us the international atomic energy agency which sees the waste water will be treated using internationally accepted technologies or let's not bring in this layer a senior scientist at the woods hole oceanographic institution which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ocean research exploration and education welcome we hear the water is going to be treated diluted but how effectively can that actually be couriered after water curd can cut it still pose a threat to the marine ecosystem or what you are hearing a lot about thanks is one form of hydrogen is radioactive $21.00 and that is very difficult to move out of the very low without them and so the concerns are quite
2:22 pm
more that's what their plans are but i do own results there are many other we've got to be counted still in those tanks and that's what i'm more concerned about is what else is in the tank how much will be additionally removed before disposal and the feed of that between it is quite different in the you shouldn't the 2 of them that they've been talking about yeah it's hard to know exactly what to say if you don't know what's in the tank as you say that's left over but there is a fear over people potentially being contaminated fish how concerned would you be about that aspect. well currently you know the last 5 years things have gotten so much better that none of the fish of health comes off the coast of japan but city not sure now that 1000 thanks so not of we do have to contamination if it were released without additional cleanup this would hose that has been so kind of saying trust us we'll take care of it and i was in a more let's do the cleanup and then at independent analyses before you make
2:23 pm
a plan to dispose or not in the ocean yeah as a lay person just looking at this story myself it seems some some we have an over kill situation to deal with it are there any can other say for yet practical ways to dispose of the contaminated water. well one is simply storage sort of tritium the isotope of greatest concern because the concentrations are high the case of it from yours by 50 percent this radioactive decay which if you stored it outside to 60 years now you start it's gone so no we are used to the illusion of at least no expensive cleanup so for some isotopes just hanging on to the water actually is a solution that might be very effective you've got the water i perhaps you know there's no way to stop it spreading to other countries is there and there have been pretty strained relations between countries in the area is that a for a situation given that other nations have no say in the decision to dump contaminated water into the ocean if it is contaminated. well i will say that we
2:24 pm
looked at the 11 over that we get today when the ocean and it really spreads quickly to the east often japan with the krrish current does not return to its china. who year coastline so the 1st place it will happen is the west coast of north america really are so i don't think there's a big local concern but i do think we also have to realize that all nuclear power plants in america and russia will ease some amount of radioactivity to the ocean and. so we have to look at these relative to each others but i just need a lot more information as case more transparency and planning put into this particular local concern though is coming from farmers fishermen who are likely to be impacted as people could stop buying products once they know where it comes from its source they say that the japanese government is refusing to heed their call 'd
2:25 pm
that's just your thoughts on that aspect you know absolutely it's a very big social issue right you're telling people that now you're going to deliberately redirected to the ocean which before you would clean up would it happen that's a disaster in 2011 so very different situation and it will probably be various you know the last decade and certainly last several years of rebuilding that fisheries to the point we're going through i go to japan it's but now i've been told that deliberately releasing this even if it's at a very low level i told you that's a scientist you may still choose not to buy fish from those markets and you're such an important industry for the for the workers for the people or ken thanks for your time appreciate that ken busier senior scientist at the woods hole oceanographic institution my pleasure. stuttering vaccination programs and diets about some of the jobs on offer have led to a rise in fact seen tourism among europeans with some people traveling here to
2:26 pm
russia to get an accurate. micha do flow is a lawyer from leon and he has his own opinion about the vaccine situation of all who will mean there aren't currently enough vaccines in france and not everyone can get vaccinated where they want to without waiting 1st of all i don't trust the vaccines offered to us whether it's the american vaccine all britain's astra zeneca they don't fill me with confidence so why i chose the russian sport nick the jab which i think is much safer and more effective the russian vaccine has not yet been approved by the european medicines agency so it's not in france and that's something to flo is not too happy about stores or great could be i regret that my country france is denying its citizens access to the sport make a vaccine for reasons unrelated to health or medicine so if support nick doesn't fly to me i'll fly to get it out of access while on a business trip to moscow to flow decided to get inoculated against corona virus he
2:27 pm
didn't seem nervous before getting his long awaited job. no i'm not concerned i might have been more worried if it was a different vaccine i won't name it but in france it's being heavily criticized now in this case i might have been more afraid however maître do flow things is still a long way to travel for an injection but on them can force despite the fact that there is a vaccine shortage in france they have to decide who should get vaccinated 1st which also shows that we don't have enough doses even though there is a vaccine available it's their choice and i think that this is a criminal choice. despite his technology and experience france has not developed its own vaccine. i really regret that we're in this situation i think it's because france no longer has the scientific potential to develop such things we are the country of the scientists. may and go on to really change the health situation in the world for the better and today we're lagging behind france is the only power
2:28 pm
wouldn't member of the un security council that has not developed its own vaccine. do flu will get the 2nd sputnik 3 job in 3 weeks during his next trip then he can go home with one less thing to worry about. a lot is a lot for an hour but some great programs are just about to get there or start find out what showing where you are in moments.
2:29 pm
the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. thinks . we dared to ask. some explaining the truth of what's happening in america so you've got these tens of trillions of dollars worth of debt and having to 50 trillion dollars worth of
2:30 pm
debt which is just another way to say u.s. government treasury bond yeah which are currently 30 years are roughly 2 percent now out of the coupon or the interest on those 30 year paid they're paid from taxes collected from taxpayers and they taxpayers pay those taxes to the federal government who in turn pay off the bondholders who own those bonds the richest 110th of one percent so while transfer mechanism so it's not inflation it's not deflation it's feudalism. the national guard has a once again been deployed in the state of minnesota this is a violent protest and eluding has erupted following the shooting of a dante right but is the anger justified we're going to bring you the facts of the situation as well as our expert analyst ways.
