pandemic but it was already a serious before out of also sides among medics 25 percent were insurgents and among attempted suicides it was 70 percent 2 percent of trainees had attempted suicide and that was before the current crisis before and into a 58 hour week much of that in surgery and that's got worse during the pandemic it rose to 60 hours than 70 hours 80 and in paris up to 100 hours so weak so it's exhausting now that union has told r.t. that they need to be immediate action to alleviate the situation the pressure for the interns now they've met with the health minister here in france in the last few days and he has said. but there will be measures put in place to wards the end of the summer to trying to find a solution to that but the union said that's not soon enough and between now and then if we take that average of one student taking their like one in turn taking

their life every 18 days how many more will die between now and the end the summer which is 5 months away this is simply not enough and the proposals by the minister vary and i also want to tell you a little bit about one mother who's also been speaking or see you took her own life back in 2900 so before the could be 19 pandemic that she's now set up an organization representing the families of student interns who have taken their lives in the last few months and she said all of them died for different reasons they took their lives to different pressures different places but they all had one thing in common and the one thing in common. they were the rock back breaking clothes she said this is a situation where intelligent motivated people who were strong in their lives knew me went into a situation to come doctors to become the savior of lives in the future and they

were taken in and they were completely put in this so much strain that they were cracked they were weakened and in the end the only thing they felt that they could do was to take them. on wild wired to covert us past 3000000 the weekend with the stopping 20 fold search and new infections in india this month meanwhile in europe new daily cases have stabilized after a 3rd wave but the sluggish vaccine campaign has been dealt a father u.s. pharmaceutical giant pfizer has hiked prices on future orders of its job for europe potentially raising the cost by more than 60 percent despite promises last year to keep the price down. to implement free market principles. pricing the products we could go to huge prices and so everything we can manufacture but it would be a little cooler think we will not do it's because that's really taking advantage of a situation and people will not forget if you do that. vaccines are very expensive

this if human lives the yellow economies to reopen but we saw them at the price of a meal or pfizer was already in the most expensive vaccine on the market and the firm has been accused of lobbying the biden administration to prevent other countries from ramping up production to push the cost down the details of the upcoming contracts with an even higher price tag were repealed by the bulk aaron prime minister pfizer was 12 years then became 15 year contracts are now been signed at a price of $19.00 euro. and the cost of the fires a shot could go up a father still with the u.s. saying people will be offered 3 doses instead of 2 we spoke with a senior consultant in disease control axa to medical school he said that keeping vaccines affordable is going to be a vital part of ending the pandemic. it's a tragedy it is a tragedy and

a nations are beholden to their supplies of like scenes and the price of the vaccines and we have a global pandemic a very serious global pandemic and it is incumbent upon pharmaceutical companies the world trade organization and the richer nations to keep the vaccines as have a low price as possible and to promote the giving of the vaccines cheap and at a cheaper rate to all the other nations because if you have runaway uncontrolled infections in the poorer nations what will happen is that is the right recipe for wherry and of concern to emerge so it does in their own self-interest to immunize the world at a pace as fast as possible that's what's called living in a global village it is our duty to do this. well several e.u. countries are partially opening up travel for people who have been inoculated against it but not all vaccines are being treated equally the european commission

has said that once a green digital certificates are rolled out they'll only include shots recognized by the regulator so those who receive alternative vaccines like russia sputnik be unlikely to be shut out of the new scheme one italian businessman who travel to russia to get vaccinated tried to get clarification from his local farty. when there was lending in. the last 3 more school. which she. saw i was let's say needed. but it really. was a scheme to the use of the. dollar that is the checkpoint. do you know this they don't know because they didn't get an instruction from helseth. and then i ask you what is this is good for would surely do because i'm technically

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 castro 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 as an attack by the soviet union on the united states things eased 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 u.s.

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 tyranny in this hemisphere cuba venezuela and nicaragua has finally met its match so if i deal with joe the secretary of the united states is deliberately lying by calling cuba a sponsor of terrorism this is slander and an insult against cuba cuba is 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 rolle castro says over his dead body like. 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 doubted that as long as i live i will be ready with my food in the stirrup to defend the homeland the revolution and social they will do you that will want to do it. every day. while i spoke with a coral reef a member of the cuba venezuela some committee she thinks that is unlikely to be any major policy shift on to cuba's new. well it certainly is and 2 the leadership officially of you know fidel roll and other leaders of what they call the generation of the centenary and those who were involved in 1953 in the struggle against. but as davis explained over and over it is a revolution a continuation and that the new leadership with me again vs going l. the president of cuba now becoming the 1st secretary of the communist party of cuba

it is in an orderly organized and politically decided manner it's not a surprise but it is news of this revelation of the attempt on roll cast showing in 1960 certainly there must have been others because the us knew that role was a leader of the struggle for for the revolution and was considered to be a. successor if anything happened to put down. plenty more for you after this short break so stick with us.

well the truth seems wrong. but old rules just don't call. me. yet to see how does this become active. and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

while the czech republic has toned down its allegations against russia over to explosions that happened more than 6 years ago now prague is still saying russian agents were responsible acclaim schools for top to promote expulsions but it's now clarified that allegation saying it was not an act of state tara. korto joined me in the studio with the latest. expelling moscow's diplomats accusing russia of blowing up of munitions factory 6 years ago by the way over 6 years ago by the way with the same 2 people that they accused russia of sending to poison the script balls back in 2018 these are some really bold moves and all of a sudden prague is backtracking on what it was saying so let's take a listen to what the pm said after he was done pointing the finger of russia i'd like to read to read that it was not an act of state terrorism it was an attack on goods belonging to. the agents of the bulgarian businessmen and that is

his ammunition he apparently sold to the contras the blues to russia it just doesn't seem like prague really has its story straight especially when there was no evidence given to back up its claims still prague wasn't wasn't hesitant to risk a tit for tat response over it which we saw in moscow had called these claims absurd and expelled in response 20 czech diplomats and we also heard from the czech embassy and russia which said that as a result of these expulsions their operations here were completely paralyzed so we did also hear though from the european union's chief diplomat that prague did not ask any other countries to follow suit in expelling russian diplomats in their own countries but these expulsions were by no means an isolated incident we also saw poland and the united states having tit for tat expulsions with russia as well while progs beef with russia goes even further it now wants russia to give up some of its embassies land in the czech republic that was given to it back in the soviet

union during the 1970 s. and russia immediately shot back saying that the czech embassy itself has a lot as a huge plot of land in moscow that it doesn't expect it to give up so this is certainly a confusing situation a lot of little political nitpicking. another casualty of the diplomatic rift is a tech nuclear power plant the czech republic has just announced its barring the russian state atomic. bomb from bidding for the construction of the facility and i can january a chinese company was also excluded from the project on a larger security grounds the remaining bitters include friends south korean and american corporations independent journalists martin summers thinks there's a very simple explanation the fact that they're excluded was clearly a political decision. if it was a commercial decision then they would all be single and there's many different good as possible in order to get the 1st prolix and burly brochure in showing it from

getting to this work is to do with the general deterioration in relations between russia and china and the western powers we know that traditions of very holy. crusade we've got a new administration united states that wants to send gary's messages so there's clearly politics involved at. least in ukraine now where the self-proclaimed outscore public has accused the ukrainian army of firing 15 mortar shells in violation of a truce technically in place since 2015 hostilities flared up in late march with the warring sides accusing each other of selling their respective territories artie's or mccosker affairs in the region. the residential area around then as airport is basically deserted every single house here is either damaged or it's been completely destroyed like this one for example we don't know where the local residents are some of them have left the area of the nazca and some of them have
