it's seemed wrong. to me. to shape out just to become educated and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. russia expels 20 czech diplomats and over a tally it's all removed that's not the profiteers mask of being behind a huge explosion at an ammunition depo 7 years ago and through 18 russian diplomats out of the country. is the total number of covert deaths worldwide passes 3000000 we'll look at the u. turn by the maker of the most expensive anti coronavirus jobs as

a plan since the height you prizes. we while the european states of san marino plans a return to normality has all thirty's aim to vaccinate all citizens by the end of may well to russia sputnik the covert job. real give us a breath of fresh air and get us moving towards a sense of normality sputnik the has proved to be a winning choice as every day that passes in recent weeks the number of interactions is decreasing. a warm welcome and a very good morning to you it's 8 am here in moscow you know watching r.t. international with meaning. now russia has declared 20 czech diplomats persona non-grata amid an escalating diplomatic spat between the 2 countries it's in response to prague expelling 18 russian diplomats while accusing mosco being behind

a huge explosion at an ammunition death row back in 2014 the russian foreign ministry says it's an effort to distract attention away from the alleged who attempts in bello. the accusations herb's surge especially as earlier the czech government laid the blame for the explosions at the door of the companies that. this hostile step is a continuation of a series of russian actions conducted over the last several years by the czech republic one cannot also fail to notice the american influence by trying to win washington's favor as the u.s. imposes sanctions against russia the czech authorities have even outdone their american masters so many diplomats were forced to start packing their suitcases in recent days because of expulsions and counter expulsions 1st of all america ordered 10 russian diplomats to head back to russia moscow's response was then almost identical then poland announced

a similar move but they're saying only targeted 3 people and then eventually we heard from the czech officials who announced that prague decided to expel 18 people working for the russian embassy that is even more than that then america originally chose to punish you understand that this is a very significant share of the embassy staff so you'd have to think that there must be a very serious reason for it well the czech authorities have accused this group of 8 thing of working as intelligence operatives and also blamed russia for being behind a major explosion at an ammunitions military warehouse in the czech countryside that happened 7 years ago and killed 2 people no confirmation of the cause has ever been released by the czech authorities it coincides with the decisions on diplomat

expulsions by washington and warsaw that's not all by the czech republic either is it private is seeking some suspects in particular well you know and that is the interesting part because the people the suspects that the checked. police are now looking for actually people with faces that you may find familiar these 2 were once accused by the way of trying to poison the script balls in the united kingdom in 2018 so now when the authorities said that these 2 could be linked to that explosion immediately their names and photos were back and international headlines but the russian foreign ministry though is saying that these announcements and these steps that are taken by the czech authorities could only be a deliberate attempt to somehow distract the attention of the media and the international community from another story which is now in the news here in eastern

europe it looks like when it's actually supported by facts that the west need it to cover up the importance of the information published by both russia and belarus about not just a conspiracy but an actual plan for a constitutional clue we need to speak about it so a coup was allegedly being planned against the leader of the roost what more do we actually know about this this is a story apparently that was happening more or less some real taney as the russian federal security service has announced lately that they have detained 2 men one with russian citizenship another one with dual citizenship del roofs and the u.s. detention happened in moscow and these 2 are believed to have been plotting a coup by attempting to assassinate the ball russian president alexander lukashenko and possibly even members of his family during victory day celebrations that are

upcoming the bell russian president almost instantly blamed the u.s. for it for orchestrating this attempt but washington has denied any involvement now. you may wonder what does frog have to do with all this but we have to understand that the czech republic is a close u.s. ally in eastern europe it's a member of nato not with a central role but still and russian officials very often have blamed washington for using some eastern european countries the czech republic in particular asked puppets of the assumption by the russian foreign ministry is that washington could be pressuring these countries into making political moves against russia to demonize it so that is the message coming out of moscow in the meantime the u.s. state department has already said that they are expressing full support for the

move that's been made by prague. well with the situation increasingly tense experts think further demonization of russia is the goal. that was 7 years ago and that's been brought up you know and then the attendant coup in in bellew's that's been linked as well because the west seems. to is illegal and he's been talking about new elections and so on and so therefore. this and all this because he threw a fit together. and his occasional really good period. and we'll get is a member of nato in. the united states so the americans here seem to have influence and i'm not saying that i can directly will be a thing but it's difficult to resist the conclusion that they haven't improved. the story in the czech republic it's ludicrous i mean 767 years ago our

russian agents and by the way they must be changed bonds because russian change sponsors because there were you know in salt spring 2018 they were in prague in 2014 to 2 seoul discord and begin to make an explosion that this can include across its chickens bought stuff going to it will be a film very soon this story about the nation didn't pull off to check army which is not the 1st thing in nato with small army and it's not clear or deadbolts newton you know it's just not your mission they exploded this sounds like demonizing russia you know as much as they can now. as requested by biden's white house that has expelled 10 russian diplomats one of the interesting aspects the story of 2 alleged russian agents for who or what became public school hopefully

there were people who thought the church would do instant war going to russia in 2100 so it's very all this information that some checked. it was. 2 years ago. so there's an element. which is. the number of global deaths from covert 19 past 3000000 at the weekend with a particularly disturbing 20 fold surge a new in sections since last month in india meanwhile in europe the daily new cases have stabilized somewhat after a 3rd wave of infections and u.s. pharmaceuticals giant pfizer has hiked each year prices on situ orders of its anti coronavirus vaccine potentially sending the cost more than 60 percent higher to some $23.00 a dose it comes as brussels seeks a new short supply contract with pfizer from next year artie's taylor has the

details. you wouldn't think that big pharma and ethics go hand in hand but you clearly haven't met by is that if we were to implement a free open market principles in pricing the products we could go to huge prices and so everything we can manufacture but it would be unethical i think we will not do it's because that's really taking advantage of a situation and people will not forget if you do start it must have been hard that when the 3rd wave started coughing through europe more curfews and lock downs were announced hospitals were overrun and 5 that couldn't take advantage even though it's sitting on the thing they say is the only way out of vaccine but no that would be an ass the cold the people will never forget turns out though pfizer doesn't really care about people it cares about fresh dollar bills so it hiked its prices after all vaccines are very expensive this if human lives the lot of columns to

reopen but we saw them at the price of a meal a very nice meal in a very nice restaurant after all pfizer's vaccine is the most expensive on the market and it can start handing out this. counts just because it's a once in a lifetime global pandemic some countries that who can't afford pfizer's prices but still want the citizens to live full well that's fine we'll just produce it ourselves while no because pfizer and co are not only lobbying the biden and mr asian to stop low cost vaccine production to help out low income countries they even want those countries to be sanctioned are ethics but even for those who do have the cash purchasing pfizer is beginning to break the bank pfizer was 12 years then it became 15 year contracts are now being signed at a price of $19.00 points 50 euro and with the e.u. signing off on a future order of 900000000 doses those extra euros really add up but as pfizer

well knows the block doesn't really have a choice because brussels is fast pick astra zeneca has become vaccine non-grata after it's linked to red blood clots at this point it would probably struggle to hand out its vaccine for free let alone charge for it johnson and johnson's hit the pause button over the same concern and the european medicine agency is not keen on approving any of the shots at the moment so the pfizer job stands as the sole savior all 12 no 1519 and a half years of it but if you don't count those 3 surprise a likely scenario is that there will be likely a need for somewhere between 6 and 12 months and then from the there will be an annual leave oxidation but all of that needs to be confirmed. a vaccine with reduces in the 1st year and a booster annually after that what a tidy little way to keep those billions coming in to hell with the corporation to

hold morality to hell with humanity you really have to hand it to pfizer even in a pandemic it's just another day another dollar. for me. meanwhile the tiny european country of san marino is enjoying a return to pre-code normality thanks to sputnik the schools museums and gyms have reopened our school cinemas and theaters on april the 26th as the enclave is not a formal member of the e.u. it was able to turn to russia for exact seed sputnik is currently under review by the e.u.'s medicine regulator meaning it cannot be deployed in member states until it is approved. the.

sheriff's put it could be has proved to be a winning choice as every day that passes in recent weeks the number of interactions is decreasing. 3 openings give us a breath of fresh air and get us moving towards a sense of normality without sporting veit submariner would probably not have had these reopening so sued and it set me helped with that and also because the e.u. agreements were failing to deliver the phase of vaccine to us thanks to the russian vaccine able to move our reopening timetable for would. think that. the

future of us cuban relations is up in the as a raul castro steps down as communist party leader marking the end of an era that's story and small after this short break. i'm max kaiser one more of my guide to financial survival this is. a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these shows are simply not accountable and we're just getting more and more to the. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get informed as we look. at the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person those.

things. we fear to ask. welcome back the u.s. state of michigan is to start herrings on a bill package to change it selection of those this week is just one state to boost confidence in the process following president trump's allegations of electoral

fraud some michigan reforms that being labeled as even more restrictive than those recently introduced by the state of georgia meanwhile joe biden is imposing a raft of sanctions on russia for alleged election interference the house not connected. explains. round and round we go another election now the scandal scandals least of which had nothing to do with russia but again and it's moscow's fault more sanctions more accusations and more changing the subject during a campaign for the for the presidency i was unequivocal that if i was elected president i would respond to any attempt to influence our elections to the last election and because elections are sacred are sovereign undertakings their expression of the world the american people and we cannot allow foreign power to interfere in our demand democratic process with impunity there is

a sense that american elections attending almost into we need just undertaking sacred only a divine affair where the free and the faithful in the streets to cost to god to give and ballot in the name of all that is good and america but all is not well in the land of the free there is a crisis of faith where as many as 40 percent of american citizens but leave the last election was rigged it. art. of course it's all a shadow presidential elections of the united states or

a broken outdated mess that may have claimed that there was no serious fraud but the system itself is soo broken that in any other country they'd be calling it election fraud the reason nothing sacred about the electoral college. and the electoral college and the filibuster time to give the majority of moons. enough for you to believe they were actually college it's a way to steal the voice of the people. if there's one thing that america is

unified on right now is that we all hate the electoral college so let's abolish the dumb thing. it isn't sacred when some people's votes count more than the votes of others depending on where they live there is nothing holy about people's votes being rounded up or round the down by delegates it's an old ugly mess that frankly should have been obviated some time ago the electoral college is just the tip of the iceberg the mail in votes in 2020 were all over the place hundreds of thousands of votes lost and miscounted threw away were covered and recounted and about a 3rd of all state voters didn't even need to show that aidid to vote and this isn't a country with roughly 12000000 illegal immigrants speaking of medians means of americans with a criminal but even of they've served their sentence and not allowed to vote none

of this counts of fraud because see it's negro even mistakes of kosher or how load by the blessin constitution. the validity of an election is not voided by honest mistakes or emissions unless they affect the result or at least render it uncertain but hey america all it's talk of democratic processes never was a democracy it's a federal republic where corporations and billionaires can have mother into debt and the airwaves and the radio waves with billions of dollars worth of propaganda unabashed republican or democrat propaganda blasted at you from every side from a cab ride in new york to a country fair in iowa vote team red vote team blue and best of luck if you're running as an independent america hasn't elected an independent president in a 170 years we face tremendous mainstream media shout out we know this is

a 2 party system so the greatest difficulty is just making sure that people know we're here without the law that we only have these 2 options and i believe that's really at the weak to keep us coloring behind party lines at the end of the day russia doesn't need to interfere to make a mess of american elections all it has to do is sit back and watch the show unfold but america america needs russia to interfere they can needs to blame someone else for this mess it needs a scapegoat in all of it on and avoid having to say hold on we have a problem so they make up more nonsense about sacred elections and blasphemous russian hackers and you think they keep the faith in the deck rip it divisive electoral system from collapsing political pond cost host justin roberts the untold is that on no real solutions for the us voting system yes is the electoral

college still relevant. here. it may or may not be but it will never go away because these are the rules everybody understands what they are and to be totally honest the electoral college is never going to go away until one party consistently wins the fact that both the republicans and the democrats seem to switch to the seat of power on a fairly regular basis either once every 4 or every 8 years means that the electoral college will probably stay in place because everybody's just a couple years away from being in the top spot the question that really needs to be ask with any critics of the electoral college is not how is this broken but rather what would replace it because if you think the b. complaints are going to be bad now the complaints at the replacement would likely be something that would drown out any ability for it to be reformed or change. 3

arab israeli men have been arrested and officers injured as fireworks and rocks were held at israeli police separating rival demonstrations over the assaults of a rabbi their religious leader was assaulted as he entered a traditionally arab part of the city of. zionist jews rallied against the violence sparking a counter protest of arab israelis who lit street fires and attacks and law enforcement officials who had formed a human barrier between the demonstrations. it comes as the jewish population of israel hates all time lows they made up less than 3 quarters of the country down 8 percent on when it was founded in 1948 the proportion of jewish immigrants is also an historic low wealth people on the streets of tel aviv why they thought that was the case. government in the country doesn't cheaters citizen good fairly enough

it's really expensive to leave it's really hard to grow and to create new businesses and actually to succeed i think it's easier to do it in different countries it is very simple the natural growth of the non jewish population was the higher rate of the jewish one that's just simple math count the number of children per jewish family count the number of children jewish family you add the numbers they are citizens of israel and it doesn't matter how many jewish or non jewish that's it. the head of the israeli immigration policy center told r.t. the consequences of a fall in the proportion of the jewish population but the main reason for the decline of the jewish population is due to immigration israel has developed its g.d.p. is much higher than the countries around there around the area many people in the past did not see israel as a place that they want to immigrate to today we're seeing people from over 100 different countries wanting to come to israel. and that has bring into

a decline in the jewish population we are seeing the decline of the majority which may bring in the future for a situation where the most growing minorities will demand to change the status of israel as a jewish state even if we don't reach a situation with the jews or absolute minority and that can have of course forages implications for a country that see themselves as a homeland for the jewish people. monday marks the end of castro rule in cuba raul castro who led the country's communist party for the last 10 years after succeeding his brother say dell and also its resignation on friday this was the same day the classified documents revealed raul has been the target of cia assassination attempts r.t. zeke wished on of explains. raul castro reveals he's stepping down what better time to disclose your country meal the idea of assassinating him this is the perfect

metaphor of cuba u.s. relations as the cia has published once top secret cables describing how in 1960 the agency offered $10000.00 to a pilot flying roll castro from prague to have to arrange an unlucky accident the plot can be added to what some say were the hundreds of assassination attempts on rolls brother legendary el commandante fidel providing a glimpse into just how big a thorn in america's side cuba was and even remains to this day clearly the carriage drew regime. will not change by its own choice. but cuba must change not me i don't care how i die but rest assured if they invade us i'll die in combat. you don't make friends with uncle sam by overthrowing

a dictatorship ruled by his appointee or by building a socialist state right in his backyard for del castro did both his relations with the us started with a trade war escalated into a naval blockade of the island and climaxed with something that had the world staring into the abyss over nuclear apocalypse during the cuban missile crisis and island nation smaller than the size of florida found itself squeezed between 2 superpowers in the thick of what almost became an all out atomic war it would be the policy of this nation to regard any nuclear missile launched from cuba or against any nation in the western hemisphere present attack by the soviet union on the united states things eased up a little since then of course the us is a very different country the soviet union hasn't existed for nearly 3 decades but

cuba cuba remains the same along with its ever so poor relations with the us we will not live saying actions on the cuban regime we will enforce the embargo. was reaffirmed today that any strategy that seeks to destroy the revolution either through coercion and pressure or by using subtle methods you will feel. the troika of charity in this hemisphere cuba venezuela and nicaragua has finally met its match. the secretary of the united states is deliberately lying by calling cuba a sponsor of terrorism this is slander and an insult to gates. curious no closer to freedom and democracy than it was 4 years ago the age of castro is coming to an end but is the anticapitalist cuba heading the same way well raul castro says over his dead body. but it does nothing nothing obliges me to make this decision but i

firmly believe in the strength and value of example and the endor standing of my fellow countrymen and let no one doubt that as long as i live i will be ready with my food in the stirrup to defend the homeland the revolution and socialist it may well be right but what do you do it i hear every day. cuban revolution will continue to be. like. the symposium to know when exactly by. the by their ministries and. he promised during the election campaign that he was going to restore normal relations with cuba. yes and that he is going to you know as already said several times and given. several times that one normally isn't within one's ability to handle. and really going to be valid but at. the moment he doesn't seem to be the case that there is not

a need to gauge you know the aggression on the part with.
