that's. right bob boy. that was. the headlines this hour deadly development astra zeneca his reputation suffers another blow it was the relative of a woman who died after getting its jabs through the vaccine maker we hear from her family's lawyer. one professor we are called got vaccinated there was no warning about the rest of the term process on the information sheet or on the informed consent form. russia's foreign ministry spokesperson told sister channel r.t. torch y.-e. failures have damaged the in occupation campaign. politicisation thai if they have not e.u. officials tied the hands of industrialists and business states and ultimately to

the hands of the own people there you went against the interests of its own members . and safety 1st the pressure builds today from the police many americans do say that they are terrified that there will be left in danger on the streets and in the hopes. that afternoon is just gone for coke here in the russian capital you're watching r.t. international now astra zeneca faces legal proceedings after an italian woman die after receiving the vaccine her 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 did show that blood clots were forming in her body and brain she fell into. coma and died less than

a month later the 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 developed cerebral from bruce's 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 does that to others already filed across europe against the u.k. swedish company and it also comes amid the suspension of the rollout of the astra zeneca jab in some countries over blood clot concerns however medical experts including the world health organization to say that the benefits still weigh the risks and medicines woman's brother says that her family supports the inoculation

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 the inmate 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 that to put died 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 us on the information sheet or on the informed kids. meanwhile germany's planning to ramp up the liveries of they

differ in vaccines after chancellor merkel admitted fundamental failings in the health policy and the need for change but one story is peter oliver. 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. has also been discussing the future of health policy across the e.u.

saying that the coverts pandemic has highlighted issues that may require a change in treaties i believe that europe needs greater 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. 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 its the literary 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.

one company that will be getting involved with 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 arbs peter all over r.t. . well our sister channel r.t. torch to talk to the russian foreign ministry spokesperson raise the cat of a bad this and she did blame brussels for playing politics. 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 there's the objective reality it's the 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 scale but the world has dealt with fund damage before and it turns out the those who call themselves leaders of the world aren't that at all is just chest thumping it 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 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. he stays on the heavy activists pressure at the moment to slash police funding in the wake of high profile killings by officers but huge numbers of americans do say to you that such political agendas

leave them vulnerable to crime. reports. 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 their step 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 besiege 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 that it is 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 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 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 and 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 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's stand down or if it's all in all give up or tire resign 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 r.t. new york. ok well let's return to the pandemic because the situation in india has taken a sharp turn for the sport in 300000 new cases have been registered for a 2nd day in a row now made the shocking coronavirus spike

a massive fire his friend can i do. intensive care unit apparently killing 13 v 18 patients inside hospitals has already raised the alarm over chronic shortages of equipment oxygen beds the doctor burst into tears while making this emotional plea for people to follow coronavirus rules. we have to believe manage patients at home with oxygen and this is not something we are drawing so i do you know literally or all if you want to follow a few things that radio and requesting you to follow so most importantly please stick it off yourself now corbet is everybody rare and only you please keep yourself very well masked at times. well the doctor there did add to that such suffering was unprecedented a word of warning you might find the following forces were about to show you disturbing because it shows open

a crime atory ims overwhelmed by the influx of victims facilities is 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 and she gave us some insight into the distressing situation. what's really distressed for most health care workers now is just the lack of intensive care and bates in not just in mumbai but across the country now is a huge shortage of ice and a huge shortage of oxygen cylinders and a huge shock to just droughts and this situation just something that we've never seen before and it's dressing it's fear and if it does spill the morale of a lot of what this conspiracy produced these only people die and so maybe reading outside the hospital and we're not sure what they're going to do with them i think right now in this situation everyone has either some good or did i sound today who was

stranded even trying to find even a hospital bed of medicines and oxygen especially in the one # so january and february when this is it and yes they were down people thought that we had the cord was already put out. all the gods came down masks were down socialization started and it is that are we had this done and you didn't really wish is my actual transmissibility and i feel this pain we had so it was this 2 and 2 was not thought it was going to wait and it just magically and now i've stated we have this is. what we saw in the 1st week your snotty still to come few just clashes in downtown jerusalem lead to dozens of injuries and arrests we'll have more details on that story plus others tell you just after the break.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. in the day or thinks. we dare to ask. stuff certainly that china disagrees of america's foreign policy or the china disagrees with america's domestic policies that china disagrees america's monetary policy they don't want all that money printing so a few things are going to happen number one it's a hash war or a global race to procure as many big quite as possible now on the geo political level china is leading the way this is the sputnik moment for

a big point america can enter the house race or it can be left behind. again now off to 3 weeks russian political activists alexina valley says that he is ending his prison hunger strike he had be complaining of ill health from poll medical treatment however russia's human rights commissioner reported that he was receiving necessary you could on off brings us up today. well the election of ali 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 is 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 they should say to allow civilian doctors over his 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 that this was their verdict he also agreed to receive a vitamin treatment from prison doctors and 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 valmy.

iranian president has said that u.s. sanctions are preventing his country from receiving vaccines putting millions of lives at risk to run signed a contract in january for almost 17000000 vaccine doses through the world health organizations kovacs 3 months on only a tiny fraction has been delivered at a time when the deaths are worryingly high. says that it's entirely down to the trade restrictions being in force by the u.s. and its allies. there were no sanctions would be getting deliveries through the scheme and today millions of people go. i would like o. 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 fire 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 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 where this does come amid reports of cautious progress talks in vienna on reviving the iran nuclear deal the biden ministration wants to restart the pact which previously essentials on iran in exchange for the scaling back of its nuclear energy program but there is a key sticking point here because washington wants to act 1st and limits its uranium enrichment before sanctions can be lifted while iran says the u.s. which left the pact unilaterally under donald trump needs to take the 1st step r.t. arabic spoke to a candidate for next year's iranian presidential election and he says 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 in a leaked memo the tech be a myth has ordered its p.r.

team to normalise the mass leak of users personal information as an industry is she really this month the personal data of 533000000 users including names and phone numbers was posted on a hacker forum europe's leading privacy regulator is now probing a facebook broke the law and 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 is reported to be cooperating fully with the investigation. assuming press volume continues to decline and we're not planning additional statements on this issue longer term though we expect more scraping incidents and think it's important to both frame this is the broad industries you normalize the fact that this if it happens regularly. well instead the protection commission says it believes the data rules quote may have been and or are being infringed meanwhile the company has said it has not notified those affected as it's not sure who they are internet lore

expert in. 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 challenge to 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 soul 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. i violent clashes in downtown jerusalem have left at least 100 people injured jewish and arab demonstrators squared off as police struggled to keep them apart. i i i. i i i i i. i. i. i. well it happened when hundreds of demonstrators shouting anti arab slogans were confronted by palestinian protesters security authorities kept

a heavy police presence in the city amid the violence with dozens of arrests being made police chief stun grenades and tear gas against the demonstrators some of whom threw stones and bought force the arrest comes amid a surge in violence during the muslim holy month of ramadan which has seen tit for tat attacks and the prize the worse. the u.k. reporters fanned that 1000000000 pound covert 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 that the u.k. government prioritize recommendations from politicians given and 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 pounds handed out last year transparency international says it has identified scores that do originally need scrutiny adding that 20 went to those with known political connections to the conservatives but the party insists that everything is above board. all p.p.p. procurement went through the same assurance process in due diligence is carried out on every contract ministers have no role in awarding them that priority list was widely advertised across government as a way of more quickly tree arching offers of support however the co-chair the advocacy group keep our n.h.s. public does disagree and says that the government has serious questions to answer. i think few people would complain if they made good decisions for 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 crooners them friends and political allies and terrible results you'll 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 can it help us for the afternoon here in moscow good to have a company that's how the news is that we say far don't forget they were website put of stories tailing you can find out about it up.

it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime but old wounds still haven't healed. me from a go. at us as mean older than just that they seem to you know. of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption i don't know. to this day mothers still search for grown children. hope for their birth parents. and his annual address to the nation russian president vladimir putin reminded his citizens and the world in fact russia has red lines when it comes to foreign policy

interests and those red lines need to be taken seriously and there lays the problem the west refuses to acknowledge russia as its own national. 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 more serious than the condition it was meant to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines up to something wonderful very often. get up to something terrible. trying to medicate life itself i just think i was and i was just scared i was a scared little girl i was 24 and like. they didn't have to be so complicated.
