3:05 am
whether the approval and acceptance of this vaccine is as high everywhere else as it is in saxony and eastern germany maybe we'll even get more then the news about sputnik comes amid reports that from the end of may all adults in germany could be able to get an appointment for a vaccine angela merkel has also been discussing the future of health policy across the e.u. saying that the code pandemic has highlighted issues that may require a change in treaties i believe that europe needs great a competency in the area of health this will probably also require changes to treaties have always been open to treaty changes if they make sense this is not an end in itself and you can also do a lot of things through coordinating policy at the intergovernmental level but it certainly makes sense to also have european level competency for certain situations especially pandemics the problem is for months now europeans have seen the e.u.
3:06 am
authorities competence or lack of it in securing doses but they say they are the ones to blame i have joined ireland as one of the parties to the legal case specifically around astra zeneca is complete failure to meet it still agree and contractual agreements for may in june astra zeneca could well find themselves sued for breach of contract for supposedly having over promised and failed to deliver. koeppen either getting involved with the procurement contracts is french austrian vaccine manufacturer. they've pulled out of talks with brussels to provide that job

3:08 am
officials tied the hands of industrialists and businesses and ultimately to the hands of the own people they you went against the interests of its own members and i don't know whether you are allowed to talk about this in the e.u. but that's the objective reality it's a fact just like the fact that called it in 2020 highlighted the immense problems in the european union and in the west in general they use has not been able to deal with a world wide catastrophe but it's not like we haven't had them before yes the world hadn't dealt with the ground in of planes and border closures and such scale but the world has dealt with fund damage before. and in turn our the those who call themselves leaders of the world are and that at all is just chest thumping in terms of the european union specifically germany france and many other countries and also the us couldn't offer anything to the world as an example of dealing with the pandemic unfortunately they didn't live up to the task neither in the economic

terms nor socially nor in terms of development and implementation of vaccines that's not how a real leader does it. new u.k. report finds 1000000000 pounds covert contracts have been dished out to companies tied to the ruling conservative party including those with no a track record of supplying relevant goods or services it is very surprising for the u.k. government prioritise recommendations from politicians given to most of the areas of economic activity this type of association raises red flags and they are not known for their expertise and procuring medical equipment what is even more surprising is that it did not engage professionals such as the british medical association and the royal college of nursing their reports looked at thousands of contracts worth almost 20000000000 pounds handed out last year transparency international says it has identified scores that urgently need scrutiny adding that 20 went to those with known political connections to the conservatives but the
3:10 am
party insists everything is fine all people procurement went through the same assurance process and due diligence is carried out on every contract ministers have no role in awarding them the priority list was widely advertised across government as a way of more quickly tree arching offers of support but the co-chair of the advocacy group keep our n.h.s. public disagrees he notes the government has serious questions to answer. i think few people would complain. that they made good decisions for good reasons and with good results alongside transparency but in fact they've made very bad decisions and a very bad reasons including this cronyism friends and political allies and terrible results you'll be aware the public accounts committee looked at the impact
3:11 am
of the private contracts for example on on contact tracing for curb it and they could not find any discernible impact on the spread of coronavirus through the contracts that have been awarded by the government in this privatized. diversion of money from the public to the private sector this is a really desperate time of the government has claimed that they are the saviors of the country and actually they've to to me they've betrayed public trust. us is under heavy activists pressure to slash police funding in the wake of high profile killings by officers but here are numbers of americans say such political agendas leave them vulnerable to criminals artie's have more pronounced story. there are children is now behind bars but many americans don't seem to view him as simply a bad apple the idea that all police are irredeemable seems widespread among liberal
3:12 am
politicians it wasn't an accident policing in our country is inherently and intentionally racist no more policing incarceration and militarisation it can be reformed congresswoman elano maher laid out what her agenda is for dealing with the police 1st demilitarize the police with protests becoming more intense some argue now is not the time to tie the hands of the officers then there are steps to criminalize violence against protesters now we can all agree about peaceful protesters but what about those who burn buildings or engage in property destruction next stage disband and deconstruct police stations now in some parts of the country they are taking that literally and portland we saw protesters disengage and the light of police union building on a grand scale if it's what they want which is the reduction or elimination of law enforcement you can see on the streets you will get survival of fittest you will get the american who knows them to find themselves defending against those who
3:13 am
don't in the lesser of it you're going to get a complete lack of morale which is going to lead to just men and women who sit in their cars and collect a paycheck and the proactive law enforcement which will be done by presence only will only completely lead to more crimes are the only people going to urge the community so people are not really thinking they're thinking out of motion and the politicians are 100 percent capitalizing office and it's going to be the people who suffer the most now police chasing down suspects on foot is something you can see in all kinds of t.v. and movies but the mayor of chicago now says it may be time to give that a rest no one should die as a result of a foot chase now of course this raises some questions say a woman's purse is so that the police then have to call and ask permission before chasing down the perpetrator. police feel that they are being demonized and in some cases they are resigning saying that the atmosphere is too restrictive that we had
3:14 am
a sergeant in office job gun and badge removed who wants to live under that type of scrutiny morale is gone in the albuquerque police department they don't trust their leaders they don't trust the city and they're tired of being managed by politics polls show that a large percentage of americans do fear that a shortage of police officers could result in chaos nationwide los angeles has seen an 80 percent increase in shootings we now have the mayor a democrat calling for an increase in the police budget reversing the cuts in the police department made at the height of the black lives matter protests last year this is purely political for the reason that the systemic racist problem in law enforcement isn't the american police officer it's just the system is the politicians who make the laws it's it's to the prosecutors in the defense attorneys but nobody wants to talk about that so the easiest pawn to play in this whole game is the police officer or the easiest one to wind up attacking because they're the front line in between the community and ultimately what happens to the community
3:15 am
member the police and the public have a relationship and if one party is always a used to size and the other party refuses to take accepting accountability for what they're doing you're going to get the one side that just ultimately throws up their arms and walks away so to be honest whatever the american police choose to do if it stand down or if it's all in all give up for tire was sign walk away then nobody should really be shocked what's happening the morale is going to be massively low and you're going to get men and women who are completely unappreciated walking and good luck to whatever happens in america we have all seen the horrendous videos of police shootings anger is completely justified and reform is long overdue but there is still another question what will replace them that is what has many americans very nervous caleb mop and r.t. new york. without fleets taking. mini world wide in support of the black lines marta movement eyes are on the olympic games in tokyo body representing international sportsmen and women who seem to be encouraging dissent at this

a growth in short fraud finding fake injections often particularly in poland and mexico. we are cognizant that in this type of environment fuelled by the ease and convenience of e-commerce and anonymity afforded by the internet there will be an increase in the prevalence of fraud counterfeit and other illicit activity as it relates to vaccines and treatments for covert 19 the counterfeit doses were seized by author and dozens in mexico paid around $1000.00 for what turned out to be a fake covert shots though there were no reports of adverse side effects meanwhile in poland a bounty rinku treatment passed off as the pfizer job was discovered before it could hit the streets dr john dombrowski from the washington pain center says it's a tragic case of supply and demand. there's a lot of demand out there and there may not be enough supply so people will have to fill that hole what happens in the country of mexico there prophecy is a lack of supply so maybe the government is supporting it or not but obviously

people money always go to the head of the line that's what happens because it's all about corruption there's a lot of money out there it's a lot of money sloshing around and we see this all the toy and obviously when you're buying things outside of the pharmaceutical industry you really don't know what you're getting in thankfully to your point no one was hurt or damaged and obviously in poland you know day thankfully those products ever get out to the public i think you want to be the thing is like let the buyer beware if it sounds too good to be true believe 'd it if you give me a $1000.00 you learned they had a why really so perhaps it's one of those things just follow the system follow the guidelines you know make sure are you really are at risk that you want to get this vaccine already or you are not so it's ok you know and obviously we need to use your judgment but use the governmental systems follow the system of the guidelines so try to jump the line because you're probably losing a $1000.00. violent clashes in downtown jerusalem have left at least

a few minutes of. j. . airings blankly at one another from this green zone i thought that that was well provided for by me it's quite ironic it's utterly express the tension that existed between the 2 sides but at the end of the day here you know who's in spoke here expressed his point of view and this time it went on so it's on a what about the actual content of the summit honest on there were some strong differences in how various world leaders want to address the issue of climate crisis what what was said about there are lots of talk about mother nature and things like that but at the time being the americans and their european colleagues have committed to you cutting greenhouse gas in the sense you know the steps will set america on a path of nodes 0 emissions economy by no later than 2050 but the truth is america

a major disagreement on the chinese side because the chinese along with our developing countries how been somewhat late to the industrialization party so are for them the commitments should not be as stringent do you think this whole climate conference is an issue that will unite the country together or are we going to see more briefs down the road as a lot of suspicions in this country and also around the world americans the europeans i trying to use the climate their gender to sensually. kickstarter the globalization to point out all of that they want to use this issue to keep their control. over the labor distribution around the world and just pointed out the suspicion. john kerry. with the violence that administration special envoy on climate has not so long ago that no government can efficiently deal with this subject and that it should be essentially allowed to be private sector meaning turn

flesh and all corporations and i think in many parts of the world it is those transnational corporations that. make a huge our horses are all over it consumption that lead to the degradation of the environment in a different place so i think what we are going to see are emerging geopolitical differences in who should lead this process who should contribute to this process and whether it should be about. corporate average or state average. iranian president has said u.s. sanctions are preventing his country from receiving coded vaccines putting millions of lives at risk to run signed a contract in january for almost 17000000 vaccine doses for the w h o's kovacs he but 3 months on only a tiny fraction of those have been delivered at a time when deaths are worryingly high president rouhani says that's entirely down to the trade restrictions being enforced by the u.s.
3:28 am
and its allies. there were no sanctions we would be getting deliveries through the scheme and today millions of people could get their backs and i would like oh people to clearly realize that this is a crime by washington what the united states has done since day one of covert 19 was that it blocked iran from using the international financial sector and that basically blocked iran from importing test kits. importing. all sorts of hospital supplies in order to combat covert 19 now under by in the united states continues to pursue the same policy iran can straus for the money of the united states is blocking it and the iranian vaccine program has been delayed for months as a result iran doesn't need their help iran wants them to stop trying to harm iranians. not the arabic spoke to

a candidate for next year's iranian presidential election he says the country is ready for dialogue with america. our relations with america are based on mistrust this goes back to before the iranian revolution even then the actions of the us government caused people to lose trust in the americans if the united states wants to establish relations with iran will welcome that we want relations with all countries of the world except for the zionist entity which is our red line america must atone for its past mistakes regarding iran washington must earn back the goodwill of the iranians the way the nuclear deal has played out shows that the americans don't keep their word so i advise the us administration to return to a relationship based on mutual respect iran is a big proud and independent country if america wants to restore interaction with iran it has to change its position on the nuclear agreement. many thanks for joining us here on r.t. international we'll be back in 30 minutes with the latest. gadgets
