the city where the. one minute past 11 at night here in moscow this choose the 13th you are welcome to r.t. my names you know the. u.s. health authorities are advising against the use of the. after 6 recipients in the country develop blood clots the american company is aware of the rare disorder decided to delay the vaccine in europe. 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
4:02 pm
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 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
4:03 pm
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 and the 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. do you because even though it's difficult to hear this again the situation is few us and our vets 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 yards from the i think it's
4:04 pm
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 i learned at the end of the day i think these measures sol coming there too late i think it solves a bit of the surfed on to them i mean the state has failed so often in many places especially in the area of testing creating testing capacitors and so on as if innocence for 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 are talking about it happening before the end of this week we spoke to dr an author of markham kendrick who sees a vaccine supply still isn't keeping up with demand in europe. i don't think
4:05 pm
there's any doubt there's there is on lack are seen as if you really wanted to use all of them were there's not enough. and so supply is going to catch up with the moment figures as you probably know that yourself and i think everyone has or almost impossible to did to make sense of you know how many people have already been infected initially have been noted around 60 to 70 percent of people have to. in order to create herd immunity then we should be getting quite close and i want a country so i think yes we're clearly mean and within a few thing was good in europe well vaccinated enough and enough it will be infected to put a lid on lists current when the correct. meantime faxing tourism is on the rise amid faltering rollouts and distrust in certain shops

4:09 pm
a pistol have it in your hands. obviously have tunnel vision on the suspect 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 then taser has been proven over and over and over again to be not a complete tool in totality is going to wind up helping the scene out and it is just 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 that 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 love through relations more stable unpredictable among the topics discussed where the recent escalation in tensions and east ukraine
4:10 pm
a nuclear weapons specifically in the bilateral strategic arms reduction treaty known as new start i discussed the call with exile of boyko the host of parties worlds apart. moscow reacted positively to joe biden suggestion of a face to face meeting does that mean though it's going to happen nothing is certain and this day and age i do think that most go quite frankly was taken a little bit aback by reach out these call was placed by dead american sides it was quite a surprise and it's a waste i mean rising tensions that in russia and the west what do you expect a meeting to be like on a personal level fairly frosty or a chance to break the ice well there are many hurdles and 1st and foremost is the personal one that because every kind of ad bought in a recession in particular have been sounds and going to position of. not just slash arrangement tax every russian on all sorts of issues there is little luck lost and
4:11 pm
she goes down again it was that recent great controversial interview by joe biden which characterizes russian counterpart as a killer and also stated by deferments that but he doesn't have a soul some of those actions that mean from i don't work for that bomb administration but i think most specifically dealing with biden visits moscow in 2001 during which he told lies in their words and in no uncertain terms that he should not consider running for russia's president which i think was taken as that as an insult personal and national that there is also an understanding in moscow and that the station in the well has become very very dangerous and there is practically no dialogue between our countries. fake news or a failure to fact check those are the accusations moscow is leveling at c.n.n.

and not sell through 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 clear errors. cell phone footage is a merge of armored columns like this one. and of military hardware being transported by rail towards the border. do you c.n.n. and its friendly team we understand that you have no time for fact checking the us 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 let's go through the claims the railway station you can see here which c.n.n. is in russia is actually located in eastern ukraine in its 4th largest city of
4:13 pm
dinny you can see the same roof and columns in this photo of the station as for the train well it supports the blue yellow livery of ukrainian trains and on the outside of the courage you can in fact clearly see a ukrainian in sydney at this one as for the tanks moving past in the footage well they're a salvi it era type still in widespread use around the world in fact several years ago the previous ukrainian president published video of a similar tank in action it was at the end of last month the situation in the conflict zone known as the donbass region once again began to escalate ukraine the self-proclaimed republics of. lugansk blame each other for the intensifying of military activities in the area at the same time kiev them accuse moscow of increasing its military presence near the border the kremlin responded by stealing it can do what it wants within its own but andries. meanwhile c.n.n.

france has lost a significant amount of its harvest it's estimated that we have possibly lost around 50 percent nationwide we're talking about $12.00 to $15000000.00 hits a liters at least that's roughly equivalent to what france exports almost every year but there are also people who have lost 90 or even 100 percent of certain types of vines some of my friends are living in a real nightmare well just like me i'm odd lucky and wins affected so badly when you look at the situation on the whole it's a really big problem at the same time there's also been other problems especially covert and the shutdown of our main markets especially for wine make is small why make his work a lot through the restaurants the centuries closed restaurants are closed and it's

not clear when they'll reopen. japan's government tells announced its planning to dump contaminated water from the fukushima nuclear power plant into the pacific ocean more than a 1000000 tons in all will be released the process will only begin in 2 years' time and is expected to take decades to complex as the water will be filtered diluted to reportedly safe levels 1st the move has provoked anger from neighboring countries. despite doubts and opposition from home and abroad japan 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. even on the japanese government's decision is absolutely unacceptable the decision to
4:20 pm
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. disaster at the fukushima nuclear power plant struck in march 20th levon 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 plants are still being completely decontaminated the way the government plans to tackle the issue has received flak including at home. people rallied there outside the prime minister's office calling on the government to reverse its long will strongly oppose to tokyo plans to dump waste water into the sea is the japanese fishing industry know they fear traced radioactive be contaminating the fish which then end up on people's plates. my 3 sons will followed in my
4:21 pm
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 to tool for it to be released into the sea logical. when the disaster happened you had to act. area through decontamination but then don't foolishly spread the contamination further after the disaster. the japanese government stands by it's the solution tokyo claims as the only feasible way to tackle the consequences of the 2011 disaster in the country has this supports of the us the international atomic energy agency which sees the waste water will be treated using internationally accepted technologies.

border the trail goes straight back to the white house the united states says moral leadership on refugee issues was a poor in a bipartisan consensus for so many decades when i 1st got here we shine a light into lamp a lot of liberty an oppressed people were offered safe havens for those slain violence or persecution and our example pushed other nations to open wide their doors as well it's not exact. clear what the end goal is and there's not really a record of success here foreign aid to us aligned regimes in central america that have free market economies is certainly not a new concept in fact the u.s. state department has been showering the region with money for decades $750000000.00 was provided to central american countries between 20142017 now the stated goals of all that foreign aid was roughly the same as what biden is proposing and people remained poor desperate and they continued fleeing 2019 donald trump took the

4:26 pm
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 flow is not too happy about stores or grade b. i regret that my country france is denying its citizens access to the sputnik 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 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 a despite the fact that there is a vaccine shortage in france they have to decide who should get vaccinated 1st was
4:27 pm
also shows that we don't have enough those says 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 never really i really regret that we're in this situation but i think it's because france no longer has the scientific potential to develop such things with a 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 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. or that is where they are to international news team signs off for the next few hours for some essential maintenance but we'll be back bright and early on wednesday morning with all your midweek news updates and join
