r v the protesters the youngsters that have been here as we know to be consecutive night of violence here in jerusalem policy or r.t. jerusalem. the while hundreds of people rallied outside the israeli consulate in istanbul on monday in support of palestinians demonstrators called for the unity of muslims in the wake of recent events. israel's former permanent representative to the united nations danny done all and palestinian political analyst nor oday shared their views on the recent escalation. we've been working for years that israel is playing with fire it is testing the. religious chanting methods at least and here is our muslims and christians in palestine around the world a daily reality of palestinians is one of violence and repression and now there is more international attention being given because of the nature of the events of
3:08 am
where these events are transpiring the fact is this is you know that the natural deterioration of things. of things that have been accumulating for months because of israeli practices would mean. for our one of the only government to be. at the beginning that he did not gloat. or you mom. that they. would want to celebrate. and instead it was we are going. to more violence more threats and this is going to be based on mars and. moves think about religion includes of freedom for riots or violence we have to go in there with all the religion i'm calling you to on the side allow anybody to break peaceful you

continue to be vigilant you don't use the same voice coming from the palestinian leader has. the job and pig has slammed his country's government over its dependence on the e.u. to approve the use of a russian covert vaccine there were words came during a visit to moscow the left parties did today he was in the russian capital to receive the sputnik vaccine himself he claimed berlin's hesitancy is but the lives of germans on the line in early april the russian direct investment fund open negotiations with the german gov. about it buying spinning for the stocks came after russia applied to march to the european medicines agency to get the job approved in the e.u. that is still pending today spoke to r.t. and shared his view on the current state of play with vaccine balance. as an arm i know i'm a doctor of psychosomatic switches
3:10 am
a combination of psychology and medicine and based on my limited medical knowledge the russian vaccine is one of the best in the world it is a vector vaccine rather than m r n a and it's a completely new approach to access in the mechanisms of our body the time available for testing has really been too short so in this sense the russian vaccine has become the best in the vaccine race i believe but i came here and got back to the natives and i also paid tribute to the memory of the red army that defeated hitler's fascism making it possible for me to speak freely with you today . as is here. when sputnik v. was approved for use in russia on august the 1st the newspapers wrote in unison in large letters that it is putin's trash the vaccine is not trash our federal government and health minister trusts he has human lives on his conscience because he did not ask for the russian vaccine another federal government administers a saying the russians should have come like a beggar begging for money and knocking on the door and said they have
3:11 am
a vaccine that they can sell us no if you want to save human lives your secretary of state should get on a plane flights in moscow and ask them to give you the documents so you can independently make a decision on this matter serbia has done this hungry has done this along with many other states only the germans turned out to be too scrupulous and simply lost time between august the 1st ingenue the 17th that's when mr spann said for the 1st time . the russian vaccine could also be very good as a result people have not received the vaccine so people could have been saved if the russian vaccine it received approval in the year in germany would not vaccinated it is not necessary to receive approval of the use you can give an independent approval only for germany as serbia did or hungry which is an e.u. member state my trust in the federal government is low my trust in sputnik is greater in. this have needed. this is due to the most mundane geopolitical reasons simply because now both the
