been born 22 and he won the largest international congress on make it said he development ah, russia is high level economic for him in st. petersburg. it's top deer with president put in the one thing that countries pushing ahead with infrastructure for vaccine tourism industry. when you do it, we are just covering our own needs. we can also provide foreign citizens with the child to come to russia and get effects. and i did here. i would like off the government to analyze who aspect hope is issued by the end of the month. but on that topic, there's consensus up the event that widespread vaccination is the only way to get the global economy back on its face with austria as chancellor showing his support for the russian job sorted came in or doesn't matter where of axiom comes from, from russia from the u. s. from china. every bit of success in the fight against corona virus is a shed success of the entire world for the good of all people. no economy without

energy, the nord stream to gas pipeline returns to the headlines. alas, russia, one of the key section is no company, and the project should be finished, right? by the end of the year. ah, news uses a whole lot more besides, this is our teacher, national. i'm, you know, need to our top story. russia's high profile, economic for him in st. petersburg has wrapped up its events on day 2 full to the rafters schedule was seen on friday, including a speech by plumber putting the russian president offered his thoughts on the fast approaching. in order of summit with his american counterpart, joe biden, artillio, katrinka takes us through the main talking points here in rushes,

northern capital during the st. petersburg international economic form, the biggest offline business gathering since the peak of the pandemic. for the 1st time we heard the russian president vladimir, talk about what he expects of his upcoming summit with the u. s. president joe biden. the 1st one since joe biden came to power process. you got the machine we planned to discuss. so brilliant relations and we need to find ways to regulate them because they are a very low point. at the moment we'll be talking about strategic stability, regulating conflicts in the world, hotspots disarmament that pandemic and the environment. this is our preliminary agenda. it will soon be a year since russia's 1st vaccine sputnik v was registered for use in this country . and the experience in the use of russian jab has allowed watermark to talk about russia's great success in this aspect. according to mister poop, not

a single loss of life has been recorded as a result of the use of the vaccine. specifically, in the russia, as you know, makes its own contribution to the fight against current viruses we have for vaccines develop domestically. and the accomplishments of our scientists have gotten wide recognition across the world. sputnik v has already been registered in 66 countries. opponents more than 3200000000 people. and i would like to highlight that we haven't used all unique technologies. we're not to create the capabilities for manufacturing vaccines in russia. rule for helping other countries to develop their own production capacities. if you're not a citizen of russia, and for some reason you don't have access to the jobs in your country, soon, you will be able to come to this country, pay money, and get the job. this is something that's been announced by a lot of our approved as well, who pretty much gave the green line to vac seen tourism. so to say, when you do,

we are just covering our own needs. we can also provide foreign citizens with the child to come to russia and get vaccinated here. you know, that's given the efficiency of vaccines that high demand for that. so you, moreover, that the widespread practice of people from other countries coming specifically to russia to get the job against corona virus. in this regard, i would like to off the government to analyze all aspects of this issue by the end of the month in compliance. of course, with all safety measures and sanitary requirements to organize the conditions for foreign citizens to get a chance to have the vaccine on a commercial basis. and another leader who was taking part in the discussion was the austrian chancellor, sebastian kurtz during the recession. he thanked the russian president for russia's efforts in fighting the coven pandemic, and also for the proposals for the exports of the russian vaccine and production abroad. besides this, mister kurtz said that he regretted the fact that the european medical agencies

being too slow in approving the use of sporting to be the best sort of canaan or this. it doesn't matter where of axiom comes from, from russia, from the us, all from china, every bit of success and the 5 guys, corona virus, is a shed success of the entire world for the good of all people. and therefore, your politics should not stand in the ways of those developments. i'm very happy that sputnik be has been registered by more than 60 countries around the world. i'm supplied there. which means that the spec seem it will be available for all of us very soon. the nord stream to pipeline project intended for direct natural gas delivery from russia to germany and other european partners has a lot of enemies, the u. s. in particular. but as we heard from sebastian kurtz, austria is one, and actually the offering government is highly in favor of the project. one of the big headlines that came out of this form was latimer announcement that the 1st

string of the pipeline was actually fully completed. only several hours ago, new photographs of germany green policy is in favor of taking american liquefied gas. but if they're really green, they should know that 70 percent of us gas is produced by hydraulic fracturing. what is that for the environment and the conclusions are as follows, st. most and gas is more environmentally friendly. cleaner, cheaper, more reliable partners have made a choice to the north string to project. it wasn't. president also gave a lot of attention to the issues of climate mister proven, said that the claims that russia is not interested in addressing global climate problems is an absolute myth. and also invited international business and investors to take part in the green projects that are being or will be launched in this country. elia,

patricia the pandemic. hello. it's alter the business. environmental of the early focus of many of the forum consensus as emerging not the health of the global economy depends on a swift return to normality through inoculation programs. meanwhile, the review of russia. sputnik v vaccine by the world health organization and european medicines agency is still in limbo, despite the scores of countries worldwide. already having authorized the job, the head of the russian direct investment fund that produces the shall see the bowl is not in the m a's court. we just had a very professional review by him, a technical team and very professionals. and they have not really raised any, be critical issues, and i think they're doing their work in the very professional, you know, positive manner. i think there are some bureaucrats in you who was saying, we don't need support nuclear vaccine. we don't need trash and vaccine. and we believe it's fundamentally wrong to make like seems political. yeah, just all. not

a lot of point. the italian russian trade chambers sees outside influence in the use coven response. it's a shame of politics is limited. the distribution of sputnik and it's not even a shame for russian business on the phone behind the java. it's a shame for us, because we lost pace and leaving the con demik behind. but the major thing is that you will have to lay in accepting the russian vaccine as affected people's lives, some dying because they didn't receive a job in time. i see that some states like hungry, for example, if you're able to make their own decisions in this regard, bypassing you policy, while among the other major issues touched on today, the nord stream to gas pipeline project on the sidelines of the forum, rushes energy minister said it was just 100 kilometers from the finish line, expressed hope that it would be completed totally by the end of the year. despite

constant us sanctions in discovering the project, which were in fact only lifted a fortnight ago by president biden. the pipeline goes under the baltic sea and will deliver gas from russia directly to the e. u via germany. we spoke with the chair of the german economic energy committee. he sees a purely business enterprise, has been dragged into geo politics. for now, i believe no to stream to as a necessity because in europe, we're in dire need of gas for the foreseeable future. we know that the existing gas pipeline no stream one certainly does not have the same capacity as no stream to. and therefore, i am very pleased to this new pipeline is ready and i hope will soon be in operation. the u. s. is in the lead those against the gas pipeline, 50 years ago, they opposed gas supplies and the soviet union because they thought we will become dependent on moscow. but in fact, they only care about selling the liquefied gas. this arguments about dependence on

russia is just nonsense, because this dependence is not one sided and it's 2 sided. russia also depends on revenues from the gas supplies, and exactly the same way as we depend on their gas. and by the way, you know, peons combined gas from other suppliers only it is more expensive, more harmful for the environment like this very liquefied gas from the us. what the u. s. one is on the one hand to promote economic interests in an unfair way. it's, and i think sanctions against other states absolutely unacceptable. on the other hand, it's still trying to keep europe in germany, in particular, from forming a reasonable relationship with russia. and this is an argument that i do not accept . we recently discussed this and upon the spikes economic committee and the majority spoke in favor of a partnership with russia. that's a cornerstone for a strong euro. so i am for creating conditions for cooperation with russia and continuing peaceful coexistence. and that will help build a solid foundation for this cooperation. after the upcoming general federal action

compound may go to those who are more alienated towards russian interests than the interest of other nations. and this is not the best ground for cooperation. in this regard, i hope that the election will lead to pearl and being able to improve relations with moscow and develop mutual understanding. returning to the russian president's speech, he also touched on double standards in the west over their assessment of a treatment on beller roost. protesters, lot them are putting cold nato statements on most goes alleged involvement, enforcing dine a ryan or a plane by minsk dangerous. meanwhile, in a heightened move, the e. u has not been baller russian carriers from it or a space and a report was talking to our team rushes, representative to the blocks with questions with decision making muslims via the, the official airline villers had nothing to do with that particular incidence. so

why should should it be banned? there is no logic in that. and closing the air space of bellows, not before any conclusions have come from eco or the international civilization organization. but even before the investigation really started, that is also void of logic. it reflect. oh i would say a very, what is that end of it is ation of the whole situation and who will suffer? it will be of course, citizens of bella rose, whose fade so dear to the western governments. and it will be ireland travellers from western europe who will have to fly

on a different route. i long, longer root and that will make the air taken of course more expensive the health industry. another big presence at the for this week we spoke to ricardo martin, director of medical products and equipment for russia on the c. i. s at johnston and johnson. oh, i think you're all of us working in health care. there's no space for politics. the patient is at the center of everything we do and this is very faith. and in the same way that the collaboration is at the center of every family, one of the silver lining of the funding has been be awareness and all of us that we must collaborate. we must cooperate whether it's states or whether it's government with industry. this is key and this collaboration is says it's really key and important to success. oh,

we can see that this is actually that's been developed. extremely good safety precaution is approved by the f d, a profile, a number of elemental agencies. so i think one lesson from the, from the peninsula for all of us, that we need to trust the science. it's the science that really saves us and gets us to look at this home, which is a place where we can be in an open world talking to each other, close distances. and this is one of the lessons of the pending. yeah, lot going on. let's just do a quick recap of all that this afternoon flooded me or put in spoke at the plenary session of the st. petersburg. for him, he covered a wide range of topics from getting the global economy back on track to climate change on his upcoming meeting. with joe biden. so indeed, yet, plenty going on in russia's northern capital. there's still a full weekend of debates deals, discussions ahead we'll make sure you hear about them here 1st. ah.

ah, match guys or financial survival guide, liquid assets are those that you can convert into cash quite easily. but keep in mind, no, i mean to inflation better watch guys report showing me every 1st aid on the alex simon show. when i was speaking to gas in the world, the politics sport business, i'm show business. i'll see you then in mechanics work so well. people don't like to use the word inconsistent. they like to say, oh it's, it's amazing in comprehensible mysterious when i say

it can't be quite right. and this is what direct says, this is what i just showed me . ah, the the hello again. passengers returning to the u. k. are describing chaos surrounding the countries cobit testing rules. with some people even paying hundreds of pounds for tests that arise late or don't come at all. author, nothing. dad can tell such a tale. he paid almost 400 pounds protests when he returned to the u. k. from america, according to the regulations he needed to test on the 2nd on a day after arrival. however, while he was waiting for the results,

the testing company was removed from the list of government approved providers. and he was forced to repeat the whole process, his wife, how stores that campaign to attract attention to the growing problem. the government haven't yet actually, you know, said anything about whether that dealing with this. there's been nothing from grant shops on it. and i just think that something does need to be done to make sure that these private testing providers are held accounts actually do what the people are paying them to do it. small companies that have been able to set up as, as contractors, they don't have the capacity to deal with the amount of customers. it's the huge amount of influx that they had. they will, they don't have the capacity in terms of the laps getting the results back to the one time. obviously that is a big problem where people having massive issues with p c. r tests,

as more people are now traveling since may, the 17th is just getting worse and worse. there's a lot of radio silence on, on this whole issue. and it really does need to be brought to the governments tension more because that they're not really answering to why things have gone so roman and this has been ongoing. now, since while i've been dealing with this since the sort of may indeed from the middle of may, the u. k. open borders for foreign travel, but imposed tough restrictions on people's return, including a test before you fly, and then 2 more on possible quarantine when you're back in the country. plus there's also the option of a 3rd test which releases you from self isolation on day 5. much of this depends on where you fly in from onto onto the confusion. there are slightly different rules in place for england wheels, northern ireland and scotland. the managing director of one testing to see if the system is under enormous pressure travel the stop to take off more and more people

are having tests to fly more more cases of people not getting bad results back on time. i'm not getting that back. it's delivered on time people self swaby using the postal services very the chance it will have major issues or cause major issues around again, around capacity in logistics processing. if both from the bar tree and the private providers don't work together to make sure that well that promising it deliverable. i think one of the challenges here is that providers are coming out would work to make money, which i get not in business, but i don't think that's necessarily the best thing for the consumer intended to building a suitable efficient private sector testing infrastructure that can meet the needs of customers, particularly when it comes to travel. denmark has passed the law that

would allow us to send migrants to countries outside the u. wilder. applications are pending. the moves got big support at home, but has bar condemnation within the block. we certainly confirmed by the un high commissioner for refugee external processing that was fine print raiders from the medical questions about both the access to procedures and effective access to protection. it is not possible under existing e rules. they knew danish immigration bill is aimed at reducing the number of migrants in the country. it's now externalizing the asylum procedure to discourage newcomers from attempting to gain entry. in the 1st place, the law got overwhelming, basking in a parliamentary vote. a spokesperson for the social democratic party said, despite the you criticize and copenhagen for the move, something how to be done. my parents coming from different places in africa,

middle eastern countries. they will probably start seeking our flying class item, and then they know that they will be sent out of here again when the new legislation comes amid rising pressure on denmark after it stripped a handful of syrian refugees of their residency on the grounds that the syrian capital of damascus fell into the surrounding region. they're not considered safe. denmark is the 1st european country to take such a step. the decision immediately ignited outrage among refugee and human rights groups which lead to protest. i hit the country in late. may copenhagen defended the decision, saying the areas in question had been say for almost a year, for your support and the pulling up a new law had to say about it. all you. this government came to power and the minority you'd have to read in the election, especially this go very much against people from the daily, specially the machine background. you know,

so they don't want them to come to the syrians game. now they want to kick them out . also, they are trying to, to make laws where they can send people are back to see the problem is that this government, 1st democratic government knows that it is impractical and not a see you believe you have. and they don't want to leave her away because if they did, they could just side by the far right parties. brussel house proposed bringing in a digital identity system across the block, storing multiple kinds of data on citizens. we want to offer to euro pins and new digital identity and identity that ensures trust and protect uses online. nobody should be forced to give more data away than is necessary for the purpose at hand. with our proposal, we're offering an alternative to the modals of big online platforms. we believe in a human centered digital transition. you have a digital wallet called

e. i. d will hold information including a user's passport, driving license, payment details, and passwords also offer online access to public services. the idea is part of a post cobit recovery package. the id system was announced as the blocks cruel. the virus digital passport scheme for travel officially went live. let's discuss this half of the se, horace based attorney at law philip devolve, joins us live. no good to have you. will this system meet? it's go, let's propose goal of avoiding cross border bureaucracy. what's your take on the entire thing? well, good afternoon. do you see the new invention for europe, a community to restrict our freedom, to restrict the from them fundamental lows regarding the european cities and in fact so we are all going on the chinese way to check everyone to,

to find that the best way to, to go inside your product life. i think we already everything. regarding id, national id, passport. we can show you our vaccine if that or not the can get the we don't know . i think the president would not be attacked by europe in new york. the union is our slower vander, line correct in calling this fellow turnitin to the big online platforms, data programs. well, i think it's a, it's a new id for controlling the european citizen. i'm not against to be controlled the f. i have not nothing to be reproached, but i thing to go through europe in union to tend to people to,

to go to cheated in entity. there is a risk of, of the freedom provision. and it's, i think it's in, in their goal to control all european citizens. this is the way i see that. no, maybe they could give another explanation. but as a lawyer, i think it's a came of for freedom restriction. can i put this point you as well, philip, is there a sense of a time when the block looks as fractured, perhaps as an ever has brussels, seize the pandemic as a chance to turn crisis into opportunity? an attempt to bring countries into an ever closer union under the guise of health issues and recovering from co bid. yes, in fact could be the kind of opportunity for europe in union to to take

more control on the people inside we could see by europe and you know, a lot, a lot of this on this from strangling of the european system. for example, the french government was waiting you was watching from you. none europe, your opinion on to get hold of i think and in fact, we didn't get the vaccine at the right time. i think the strike of so very default country it's kind of lose of our freedom crunch freedom on of course august the that the coffee is a way to get more of the privacy on to take more of the freedom of the people. it's a good use, but it's really, this is a reality. we're just waiting for the exact details of the opt in our diet section of this. but we're potentially talking about hundreds of millions of people and without comes another issue. potential cyber security breaches which are the main

risks the days, aren't they to digital id systems? are they inevitable? we're talking about something as large as widespread on something that's never really being done in practice like this. it's true for, for, for as far as i'm concerned, i think it's the new it's a new aggression of the european commission to propose these kinds of, of all for on could be, as i said before, could be the best excuse to port unity to restrict the freedom but to fight if they go through the security, i think i think it's not by controlling people by the legit, all but in 5 if they want security in european union, this will cross the border or something they should stop immigration because you

don't need the digital to cross frontier burners and who, who controlled the frontier. just as an aside to that, phillipe is there. is there no alternative, is there any alternative to what looks like a hastening, speeding up ever growing digitalization of our data? our whole lives are right there, aren't they? and you know, it does seem at times that there are malicious actors who can take advantage of it . we don't really have the security to defend ourselves yet. you've got the block saying let's put more and more information about ourselves out there is about digital. but the next step from the european union would be a control the exact,

the all the personal information. i think that would be the next step. but i think it's that belonged to the european citizen i've done belongs to all countries belonging to europe and you know, to say no because we can go, it was not the deal from the beginning of europe and union. european union was value to share. it was some opening doors for the, for the trade and the park. now, we can see it's a kind of detector ship, not really that they're she, but you see they're following for the full china control by the party and europe and is taking the 70 the same way. so let's forget it was to talk about an e. u r. made discuss not so very long ago repeatedly but in your, your army. in fact, we don't need because we're nato already. nato in america was controlling the

european army. we are from making some a military exercise with ally, great british people that was germany in fight. you know, your friend army are no chance to, to, to, to happen one day because the, the guy we met the europe and army was shot night and you met, shot my met europe. but after all, the people want to make your european army, this them to see was not put on that you could see with hitler, the old thing. so i think europe in the union is the broken dream. i like europe. but that way, i think it's a violation of our dreams on violation of our right fundamental right. that's also felipe deval attorney at law from the french capital life and art international. thank.
