to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines adding up to something wonderful very often or in full effects it up to something terrible. trying to medicate life itself i just think i was in like i was just scared and i was a scared little girl of 24 and like. the didn't have to be so complicated. trainee medics in france are pushed to the breaking point by the pandemic with one in turn committing suicide every 18 days on average according to a doctor's union. pharmaceutical giant pfizer the cost of its coded vaccine by 60 percent in the e.u. in a stark u. turn at a time of severe shortages. the czech republic accuses russia of orchestrating an explosion back in 2014 but rules out of state terrorism and refuses to release any

evidence. or broadcast my direct from our studios in moscow this is r.j. international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. now more than a year into the pandemic trainee doctors and nurses in france are feeling the toll of an intense workload on the front line according to the national union of medical internes that there is now an average of one suicide every 18 days among youngsters working in hospitals dubinsky reports from paris. what we know the in the medical profession it's one of the toughest jobs in the world and we know how much tougher that has go over the last year with the coby pandemic time and time again we've told you stories about how medical staff are suffering under the pressure now we've

been hearing about the situation for medical interns who normally work brutal hours as they try and finish their training to become doctors to be the people that save lives in the future and one union has told r.t. that the situation is so bad that these essentially frontline soldiers in the war against 19 and now a breaking point some people in the rezoned were in a terrible situation now and since the start of january there has been one suicides among medical interns every 18 days just to give you a sense most interns are supposed to be working a 48 hour week that's more than most people would generally in a week but we know they were more than that sometimes around 60 hours in a normal week but that union told r.t. that during the code $900.00 pandemic things are so bad that some interns a working up to 100 hours every week i don't see bucky here this is got worse during the 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 is the sons of trainees attempted suicide and that was before the current crisis before in terms of 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 and then 80 and then 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 and the pressure for the interns now they've met with the health minister here in france in the last few days and he has. but they 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 off which of. taking them like one in 10 taking their life every 18 days how many more will die between now and the end the summer which is by

the way they say something or nothing in the proposals by the minister very and i also want to tell you a little bit about one mother who's also been speaking to see her daughter 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 in different precious different places but they all had one thing in common and the one thing in common was the clothes that they were under the rock back breaking clothes she said this is a situation where intelligent motivated people who are strong in their lives know 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 their. worldwide cover deaths past 3000000 over the weekend with a disturbing 20 fold surge in new infections in india this month meanwhile in europe new delhi cases have stabilized after a 3rd wave but the sluggish vaccine campaign has been dealt a further setback u.s. pharmaceutical giant pfizer has hike prices on future orders of its job for your potentially raising the cost by more than 60 percent that is despite promising last year to keep the price down. if we were to implement. free open markets principles in pricing the products we could go to huge prices and sell everything we can manufacture but it would be unethical i think we will not stew it's because that's really taking advantage of a situation and people will not forget if you do that vaccines are very expensive

they say if human lives the yellow economies to reopen but we saw them at the price of a meal pfizer was already the most expensive covert 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 were revealed by the bulgarian prime minister pfizer was 12 years then it became 15 europe's contracts are now being signed at a price of $19.00 europe's and the cost of the pfizer shot could go up still further with the u.s. firm saying people will be offered 3 doses instead of 2 we spoke with bharat pung kamiya a senior consultant in disease control at exit or medical school he said 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 the supplies of like scenes and the price of the vaccines

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 their vaccines as at 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 a runaway uncontrolled infections in the poorer nations what will happen is that is the right recipe for where it is of concern to emerge so it is in of our own self-interest to immunize the world at pace as fast as possible that's what's called living in a global village it is our duty to do this. several countries are partially opening up the travel for people who have been inoculated against covered but not all

vaccines are being treated equally the european commission has said that once green digital certificates roll out they will only include shots recognized by the e regulator so those who receive alternative vaccines including russian sputnik v are likely to be shut out of the new scheme one italian businessman who traveled to russia to get vaccinated tried to get clarification from his local authorities. and was lending. to them are the last 3 in more school so exactly the day after which was sought i was let's say needed and when i arrived at uni. i was asking to the full use of the. lord it is the checkpoint. for sure. i don't do no more and they said they don't know because they didn't get an instruction from their health. dorothy and they are not i ask what does this situation would surely do because in technically needed

a already got the 2nd goes they send me that at the moment there is no any clarification and extrusion so i have to stay 14 the single and in the situation is i would say in a very. italy said tourism sector has been devastated by the pandemic with losses from last year estimated at more than 120000000000 euros and it has led to more than 330000 job losses robert your early again thinks the government needs to be much clearer when its travel rules if it wants to bring back visitors. even. splitting the is not good. and from. each of us to do we split the new land only it's like if you are not to see me did you substitute greece what do you freshen jude is the solution would speak to. play

here do they have to stay 14 days. i mean nobody would come to visit don't work around for example. anyway so many on the ground. you understand that this is a very big problem you can be a really big problem for the some of today's. ruling communist party has elected a new leader to replace raul castro miguel canal who is already the country's president will now take the post of 1st secretary castro announced his departure last friday and that same day he declassified files that were released showing he had been the target of the cia. as early as 960 or does it was john f. explains. all 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. as to a pilot flying roll castro from prague to have to arrange an unlucky accident the plot can be added to what some say where 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 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 charity in this hemisphere cuba venezuela and nicaragua has finally met its match that you without the secretary of the united states is deliberately lying by calling cuba a sponsor of terrorism this is slander and an insult to gates 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. oh 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 social play what do you want what do you want it i hear every day. gloria riva a member of the cuba and venezuela solidarity committee thinks her vanna is unlikely to make major policy shifts under the new leader. well it certainly is the end 2 of the leadership officially of you know fidel roll and other leaders of what they call the generation of the centenarian those who were involved in 1953 in the struggle against. but as apes explained over and over it is a revolution a continuation and that the new leadership with me again vs can now 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 castro in 160 certainly there must have been others because the us knew that role was a leader of the struggle for the for the revolution and was considered to be a. successor if anything happened to fidel. i'll be back after a short break watching our 2 international stay with us. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person with those words. the

day or thinks. we dare to ask. someone else something seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out these days become educated and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. and.

welcome back this is our t. international now the czech republic has toned down its allegations against russia over 2 explosions that happened more than 6 years ago prague is still saying russian agents were responsible a claim that has caused tit for tat diplomatic expulsions although it has now clarified that allegation saying that it was not an act of state terror and she's done quarter comments. 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 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 businessman that is his and munition 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 when 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 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 check a nuclear power plant in the czech republic has just announced it is barring the russian state atomic nuclear firm rus adam from bidding for the construction of the facility back in january a chinese company was also excluded from the project on alleged security grounds the remaining bidders include french south korean and american companies independent journalist martin sommer thinks that there is a simpler explanation the fact that they're exporting was clearly a political decision. it was a commercial decision and they would all be single and as many different good as

possible in order to get the best products and badly russian chillingly from getting to this work ringback is to do with the general deterioration in relations between russia and china and the western powers we know that tensions are very holy . in ukraine we've got a new administration in the united states that wants to send various messages so it's clearly politics involved. on the eastern ukraine now where the self-proclaimed done at school republic has accused the crimean army of firing 15 mortar shells in violation of the truce technically in place since 2015 hostilities flared up in late march with the warring sides accusing each other of shelling their respective territories artie's or mancow sort of as in the region for us. the residential area around done 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 moved to other places as i understand there are around 7 people living here with thousands of empty houses across town is the suburb of alexander of where i like around the airport people decided to stay despite the constant attacks in the last few months 2 civilians were badly wounded and one man was killed by sniper fire while feeding his chickens that's according to the head of the local administration because i'm almost positive it's i was fully ukrainian positions are only 250 meters away from the nearest house that's where a man was killed recently they are targeting civilians when the sniper shot the man there is no way that he couldn't see that he was a surreal and ukrainian army officials deny the incident ever took place and labeled the details of the man's death as fake news weapons violations have been

accompanied with explicitly fabricated accusations in the media specifically regarding live sniper fire from the ukrainian armed forces fake news is being spread intensively by the so-called media of suits and don't yet screech in districts local electrician alexander lost a son and a daughter in law in this conflict and said that the shooting never really stopped here he was wounded several times while doing his job fixing power lines that were damaged by shelling. where they really were i must have been born under a lucky star the ukrainian army is always trying to prevent us from fixing damaged power lines and shooting while i'm a top of the electricity poles our former colleagues on the other side said that we wouldn't have flowed through city until they liberate us liberate us from woods from our land marina is another local who says she is lucky to be alive because her house was shelled several times. she had surrendered to different place eventually but hasn't left the village currently a mother of 2 girls marina is expecting another daughter in the week despite being

terrified from the endless sound of artillery fire she seems optimistic about the future of her unborn child so if she did you'd as that. people always give birth even during world war 2 people who have been born every day they bash but who will continue given that yes i worry and i'm constantly afraid but it's life and it goes on people i spoke with another all claim that shelling and gunfire have escalated in the last couple of weeks shooting now it takes place not just at night but during the day as well that prompted schools and kindergartens to intensify safety drills for all children they hope it will increase their chances of making it to shelters in time from on cos or have already. in the donetsk region. 3 arab israeli men have been arrested and officers injured as fireworks and rocks were hurled at israeli police amid rival demonstrations over the assault of

a rabbi of the religious leader was attacked as he entered a traditionally arab part of the city in java israeli jews rallied against the assault sparking a counter protest of arab israelis who lit street fires and attacked police. this comes at a time of alarm amid some israeli jews over the country's shifting demographics jews now make up less than 3 quarters of the population compared to 82 percent when the state was founded in 1000 and $48.00 the inflow of jewish immigrants is also out in historic low we asked people on the streets of tel aviv why that's the case . government in the country doesn't cheat or citizen good fairly enough it's really expensive to leave the it's really hard to 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 citizens of israel and it doesn't matter how many jewish or non jewish that's it we spoke with the leader of an immigration and geo in tel aviv he told us that while the jewish influx is declining more and more people of other backgrounds are moving to the country but the main reason for the decline of the jewish population today is due to immigration israel has developed its g.d.p. is much higher than the countries around there are around the area many people in the past did not see israel as a place that they'd want to immigrate to today we're soon 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 a decline in 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 far reaching implications for a country that sees itself as a homeland for the jewish people. russian opposition activist alexina vali has been moved to a prison hospital amid claims of deteriorating health and he's juggling vulgar explains. on monday the russian state penitentiary service announced their decision to transfer of all need to a regional hospital for prisoners now according to their statement his health is currently satisfactory and he has agreed to start taking vitamin supplements opposition activists has been on hunger strike since march 31st protesting the fact that his personal physicians have not been allowed to visit him and he said that he's been having medical issues just a few days ago one of his physicians said that his health is currently seriously deteriorating according to lab results that were shared with him but the state is insisting that all of his medical needs are being met the is currently of course
