the headlines this deadly development astra zeneca is reputation suffers another blow is the relatives of a woman who died after getting its jabs saying the vaccine maker we hear from her family's lawyer. told one professor we have all got vaccinated there was no warning about the rest of time both of us on the information sheet on the informed consent for russia's foreign ministry spokesperson told sister channel r.t. deutsche why you failures have damaged the you not kill asian campaign.

politicisation tied their hands e.u. officials tied the hands of industrialists and businesses and ultimately turned their hands of the all the people they you went against the interests of its own members and also to come safety 1st as u.s. calls get louder to quote defund the police any american say that they are terrified that that will leave them in danger on the streets and in their homes. good afternoon you watching r.t. international is just gone 3 o'clock in moscow now astra zeneca faces legal proceedings are from the taliban woman died after receiving their vaccine the family is now taking action against the multinational corporation well the 55 year old music teacher from sicily got her shot on march the 11th but within days medical checks show the blood clots were forming in her body and brain she fell

into a coma and died less than a month later her brother says that she had no previous health issues. my sister was in excellent health some tests were done on her and came back negative she had no diseases and she was perfectly fine the tests also found that my sister was not at risk from bosis she was happy to get the vaccine and then after 7 days all the symptoms mentioned by the enemy began and she develops herbal from brisas she began to feel very ill and after another 2 days during which she was hospitalized her condition resulted in a cerebral hemorrhage and after 3 rounds of surgery she died well the lawsuit there desired to others already filed across europe against the u.k. swedish company it also comes amid the suspension of the rollout to be asked for jenny could jab in some countries over blood clot concerns however medical experts 'd including the world health organization still say that the benefits outweigh the

risks and the deceased woman's brother does say too that her family supports the an occupation program. we are not attacking vaccines absolutely not fact scenes are indispensable i have vaccinated myself i am a doctor my patients also vaccinated and so are my other family members but we want truth and clarity because it should not be possible for a person like mr who is in excellent health to die from the vaccine the warnings from astra zeneca and him a came later and not when my sister received the shot so that's why we're asking for the truth she said. there were deaths before and after professor who's the to the occupy and their investigations into those in this case i can say that after person does autopsy my consultants concluded a lot of previous diseases it raises disturbing questions because one professor got vaccinated there was no warning about the rest of the bosis on the information

sheet or on the informed consent. meanwhile germany is planning to ramp up deliveries of russian vaccines after chancellor merkel admitted fundamental failings in health policy and the need for change with more harm this has paid to all of. germany is set to receive 30000000 doses of the sputnik very vexing over the summer the c.d.u. leader in the state of saxony michael mann arrived in moscow on thursday to meet with the russian health minister he said that the federal government in berlin is expecting 10000000 russian jobs 3 times in may june and july we will see 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 until america has also been discussing the future of health policy across

the e.u. saying that the covert pandemic has highlighted issues that may require a change in you treaties i believe that europe needs great a competency in the area of health this will probably also require changes to treaties i 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. authorities competent so 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 its delivery and contractual agreements for approval may in june astra zeneca could well find themselves sued for breach of contract for supposedly having over promised and

failed to deliver. one company that will be getting involved with e.u. procurement contracts is french austrian vaccine manufacturer never they've pulled out of talks with brussels to provide that job which is currently undergoing stage 3 trials after the company said they couldn't make any progress with the e.u. they'll now seek deals with individual countries with only around 7 percent of the german population fully vaccinated the home pays that with more doses arriving and restrictions on who they could be given to lifting that over the summer germany can

ramp up their vaccination program and get more jobs into more people's arms peter all over r.t. . well our sister channel has talked to the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman marie is a carrier of this and she does say that brussels playing politics has hit its pandemic response. it would. let's be realists the european union simply last time it could have been a leader in an occupation and a leader in vaccine production but they didn't happen why politicisation tied their hands e.u. officials tied the hands of industrialists and businesses and ultimately to the hands of the own people 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 their 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 the u.

has not been able to deal with a worldwide 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 on such a scale but the world has dealt with fund damage before and it turned out the those who call themselves leaders of the world aren't that at all is just chest thumping turns out 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 pun demick 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. the united states is under heavy activists pressure at the moment to slash police funding in the wake of high profile killings by officers huge numbers of americans to say to you that such political agendas do

leave them vulnerable to crime in a small 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 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 a light a 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 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 a 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 get that arrest 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 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 the 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 the 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 member the police in the public have

a relationship and if one party is always abused and criticized and the other party refuses to accept 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's stand down or if it's all in all give up or tire resign walk away then no one 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 r.t. new york. ok let's return to the pandemic because the situation in india has taken a sharp turn for the smaller than 300000 new cases have been registered for

a 2nd day in a row now amid the shocking coronavirus spike that a massive fire safe has broken out. in an intensive care unit apparently killing 13 of the 18 patients there hospitals had already raised the alarm over chronic shortages of equipment oxygen and beds the doctor burst into tears while making this emotional plea for people to follow coronavirus roofs. we have. to leave my bitch patients at home with oxygen and this is not something we are drawing so i do you or do i do you or do all of you want to follow a few things that i do only and requesting your to follow so most importantly be used to get off your sense that i now go where does everybody read i don't do you believe these keep yourself very well masked. dave's well the doctor added there that such suffering was unprecedented a word of warning to you might find the following footage disturbing it does show here open

a crime atory ims overwhelmed by the influx of victims and facilities are said to be working around the clock with grieving relatives having to queue for hours to cremate their loved ones we spoke to the doctor who made that emotional plea you just saw there and she gave us some insight into the distressing situation. what's really distressed thing for most health care workers now is just the lack of intensive care bits in not just in the brain but across the country now there is a huge shortage of ice and a huge shortage of oxygen cylinders and an acute shortage of drugs and this situation just something that we've never seen before and it's depressing it's fear and it does kill the morale of a lot of. conspiracy produces the only people dying and so many people still reeling out save the hospital and we're not sure we're going to i think right now in this situation everyone has either somebody or something who was stranded trying

to find you going to hospital bed or medicines. especially in the one so january and february even cases in a nest or down home people thought that we had heard was a little bit about. all the gods came down masts were down socialization stopped it and it is that you know we got this stuff and you didn't street which is my actual transmission in the fetus can be had so it was this do and do was not told it was going to wait and it just didn't lie and now i've stated we have is way past what we saw in the 1st. the washing out a step that sat by the clashes in downtown jerusalem lead to dozens of injuries and also a rest we'll have a look at that they tiles on the story just after the break. geysers

financial survival guide look what it does that you can convert music that is quite easily. to keep in mind though as it may be

a place. for. hello again now the iranian president has said that u.s. sanctions are preventing his country from receiving faxing supporting millions of lives at risk to run signed a contract in january for almost 17000000 vaccine doses through the show's kovacs scheme but 3 months on only a tiny fraction of those have been delivered at a time when the deaths of worryingly high as that rouhani says that is entirely down no to the trade restrictions being enforced by the u.s. 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 juran 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 fire in the united states continues to pursue the same policy iran can't transfer the money of the united states is blocking it and the iranian backed team program has been delayed for months as a result iran doesn't need their health iran wants them to stop trying to harm iranians. well this does come amid reports of cautious progress at talks in vienna on reviving the iran's nuclear deal the biden ministration wants revive the pact which previously gave iran sanctions relief in exchange for the scaling back of its

nuclear energy program but there is a sticking point too because washington wants around to act 1st and limited to iranian enrichment before sanctions can be lifted while iran says that the u.s. which left the pact unilaterally underdog trump needs to take the 1st step on the arabic spoke to a candidate for next year's iranian presidential election and he does say that 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 u.s.

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. facebook is reportedly downplaying enormous data breaches an elite member in the tech beam of his ordered its p.r. team to normalise the mass leak of users personal information as an industry issue earlier this month the personal data of 533000000 users including names and phone numbers was posted on the hacker 4 of europe's leading privacy regulator is now proving it facebook broke the nor in its handling of the leak if found to have violated the data rules it could face a fine of up to 4 percent of its $86000000000.00 annual revenue facebook's reported to be cooperating fully with the investigation. assuming press volume

continues to decline we're not wanting a distance statements and this is you won't get turned away expect more scraping incidents and think it's important to both frame this is a broad industry's normalise the fact that the 60 that it happens regularly. well are in state protection commission says it believes that the rules quote may have been and or are being infringed the company said it has not notified dates affected it's not sure they are internet nor expert yet cohen gave us his views. well it seems that. the full time being at least the deep pockets of facebook allow the company to get away with pretty much anything and everything i'm not quite sure why facebook hasn't been a challenge seriously by european data regulators facebook says well you know let's see how we can manipulate the mind let's see how we can

engage in consciousness engineering out to manipulate the mind or for users a so all day thing that i what actually happened didn't happen all the data that had been stolen was a really stolen leave it was stolen don't worry about it it's something that happens all the time what facebook does it uses it's all ability to control what information has been communicated to facebook to manipulate the very same information did the users need to know. find clashes in downtown jerusalem have left at least 100 people injured huish an arab demonstrator squared off as police struggled to keep them apart. the. the. i.

was. the incident occurred when hundreds of demonstrators shouting anti arab slogans were confronted by palestinian protesters security authorities kept a heavy presence in the city amid the violence with dozens of the rest being made but she stun grenades and tear gas against the demonstrators some of whom threw stones and bottles the a rest comes amid a surge in violence during the muslim holiday of ramadan which has seen tit for tat attacks and also reprisals. how u.k. reporters found that 1000000000 pound coded contracts were dished out to companies tied to the ruling conservative party including those with no 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. the report looked at thousands of contracts worth almost $20000000000.00 pounds handed out last year transparency international does say it has identified scores that they were gently need scrutiny adding that 20 went to those with known political connections to the conservatives but the party does it says that everything is ok. 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 however the co-chair of the

advocacy group keep our n.h.s. public does disagree and says the government does have serious questions to answer . i think few people would complain if they made good decisions should be good reasons and with good results alongside transparency but in fact they've made very bad decisions and for a very bad reasons including this scrutiny as them friends and political allies and terrible results you're be aware that the public accounts committee looked at the impact of the private contracts for example on on contact tracing talk of 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. now the russian political activists like in the valley says that he is ending his hunger strike after 3 weeks and it's doctors warn that it could be fatal let's get more news story now and i think it i think you're going to die for us a good afternoon in this news as we said they're coming after serious concerns about his health what more do we know. well alexina valley he announced that he was going on a hunger strike on the last day of march and now just over 3 weeks on he has said that he's and during the strike in a statement though published on his instagram page the opposition activist has said that he is not retracting his main claim his main demand i should say to allow civilian doctors over he's choosing to the premises into the prison into the prison

where he's being held so that they could examine him but right now he has said he's ending the hunger strike as a measure of compromise and now as for the overall health of the opposition activist recently he had been transferred to a different prison in the russian town of lattimer with a large prison hospital where several doctors examined him several prison doctors examined him and deemed his overall health to be stable and satisfactory this was their verdict he also agreed to receive vitamin treatment from prison doctors now this announcement comes just a couple of days after thousands of people all across russia joined the mass protests which weren't sanctioned by the government to demand freedom for the opposition leader and to voice their support for alexina. ok thanks for that if you can stand there with the latest on an election about he's just

announced that he's ending his hunger strike. it is coming at a half past 3 moscow thanks to company and he will have more stories in about half an.

psychiatric drugs are essential for millions of patients. they want that pill that they hope will take care of their problem thoroughly and rapidly in the short term they really work the problem is in the long term and mostly disastrous suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdrawal symptoms most serious than the condition it was meant to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines ending up to something wonderful and very often there are in full effects it up to something terrible. trying to medicate life itself i just think i was in like i was just scared i was a scared little girl of 24 and like. the didn't have to be so complicated.

greetings and sally. you know just when you thought that the united states postal service couldn't fall any further or take any more hits after 2020 well sorry humans can post man but it appears 2021 isn't going to be any kinder to one of the united states of america's oldest institutions yes not even a year after former president donald trump and postmaster general louis de joyce scorched earth war on the credibility and trust we have in our u.s. postal service here.
