i the russia is high level economic form and st. petersburg. it's a top gear with president putin announcing the country is pushing ahead with infrastructure, pre vaccine tourism industry. we'll just covering our own needs. we can also provide foreign citizens with the chance to come to russia and get vaccinated here . i would like off the government analyze aspect of this issue by the end of the month. there's consensus at the event that widespread vaccination is the only way to get the world economy back on its feet with aussie as a chancellor showing his support for support. and the v as part of the global rollout sort of canaan doesn't matter where of axiom comes from, from russia, from the us or from china. every bit of success in the fight against corona virus is a shared success of the entire world for the good of all people. and no economy without

energy. and the north stream to gas pipeline returns to the headlines as russia announced as a section is now complete. and that the project should be finished out, right, by the end of the year. ah, for broadcast live direct, more studios in moscow. this is art international. i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. are now russia's high profile economic form in st. petersburg revved into gear on day 2. a full to the rafters schedule was seen on friday, including an extensive speech by vladimir putin. there were a lot of topics for the russian president to get through. not usually katrinka has the main talking points here in russia, 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 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 vaccines sputnik v was registered for use in this country . and the experience in the use of russian jabs 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 corona virus. 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 just creating 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 group as well, who pretty much gave the green line to seen tourism. so to say, when you do, we are just covering our own needs. we can also provide foreign citizens with the chance to come to russia and get vaccinated here. you know,

that's given the efficiency of vaccines that high demand for that. you moreover, that the widespread practice of people from other countries coming specifically to russia to get a job against corona virus. in this regard, i would like to ask the government to analyze all aspects of this issue by the end of the month in compliance. of course, with all safety measures and sen 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 splitting the v w sort of canaan. or this,

it doesn't matter where of axiom comes from, from russia, from the us or 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 austrian 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 for

germany green policy is in favor of taking american liquified guess, but if they are 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. musson gas is more environmentally friendly, cleaner, cheaper, more reliable partners have made a choice to the north string to project. watching president also gave a lot of attention to the issues of climate. mr. 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. the pandemic and how it has altered the business environment was the early focus of many of the

forum. a consensus is emerging that the health of the global economy depends on the swift return to normality through inoculation programs. meanwhile, the review of rushes put new v vaccine by the world health organization and of the european medicine's agency is still in limbo, despite scores of countries worldwide. already having authorized the job, the head of the russian direct investment fund, who is behind the production of the chart, says the ball is now in the m a court. we just had a very professional review by him, a technical team and they are 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 sense. political. the head of the italian russian trade chambers says, regrettably, there is outside noise affecting the use covered response. it's

a shame. the politics has limited the distribution of sputnik and it's not even a shame for russian business on the phone behind the job. it's a shame for us because we lost pace and leaving them behind. but the major thing is that you don't have to lie in accepting the russian vaccine has 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 or kind of waco, the host of our team worlds apart also spoke to brazil's former president, lulu silva, he shed some light on washington's pressure on brazil, yet not to approve russian jobs, the full interview will be shown later on r t. but here's a teaser will tell you who it is. i'm greatly interested in vaccines from the whole world, from any country including sputnik v. many brazilian officials are fighting to get the vaccine and place the orders for it, but there seems to be

a problem with production and distribution and also with its acceptance here in brazil. but many people are suspicious that there was criticism from former president trump. and there is documented evidence of this that he recommended president both and not to purchase the russian vaccine in the same way that they heavily criticize the chinese vaccine. if the brazilian president was really committed to the people of his country, he would have talked to president putin. he would have set up a bilateral committee with russian and brazilian expert. and we would have sold the inoculation problem a long time ago. however, the president does not take any measures and the truth is that they are under pressure. i cannot prove it, but it's largely visible, but there is a political impediment to purchase russian vaccines in brazil, this ignorant attitude has to be eliminated. so we can have all of our things in brazil including sputnik, which, what we have been hearing from experts is

a high quality cobra vaccine. brazilian people certainly won't. the russian vaccine . the national congress has already announced that if the russian vaccine is approved by other countries, it can be approved in brazil. the agency that supervisors health in brazil and visa is placing many demands and requirements on the russian vaccine. people defend that, all russian friends submit necessary documentation because people in brazil need vaccines. and we cannot give reason to those who oppose the russian vaccine. it seems to me that this is all about economic interest. it's an ideological war. obviously, the u. s. defends american companies and the u. k. u defends british companies, but brazil does not need to worry about defending the us. it needs to worry about the but 230000000 citizens, brazil, if possible should buy the american vaccine, the russian vaccine, as one of the chinese tobac or any vaccines with scientifically proven quality.

brazil simply has to also news about 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 and expressed hope it would be completed by the end of this year. that despite repeated us sanctions aimed at the scott bring the project which were only lifted a fortnight ago by president biden. the pipeline goes under the baltic sea and will deliver gas from russia directly to the youth through germany. we spoke with the chair of the german economic and energy committee. he says, a purely business enterprise has been dragged into geo politics. for now, i believe no extreme to as an assassin. because in europe, we're in dire need of gas for the foreseeable future. we know that the existing gas pipeline no st mom certainly doesn't have the same capacity is no extreme to and therefore i am very pleased 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, must be 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 the gas. and by the way, you know, pins combined gas from other suppliers, only it is more expensive, more harmful for the environment, like this very liquefied gas in the us. what the u. s. one is on the one hand to promote economic interests in an unfair way. 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 election power may go to those who are more alienated towards russian interests than the interest of 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 russian that president speech, he also touched on double standards in the west. over there, assessment of the treatment of bella russo protesters vladimir putin called nato statements on moscow's alleged involvement, enforcing down a ryan air playing by minsk dangerous. meanwhile, in a heightened move the you have now band bellow russian carriers from its airspace

and airports talking to r. t rushes, representative to the block question, the decision via the, the official airline villers has nothing to do with that particular incident. 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, the international civilization organization. but even before the investigation really started, that is also void of logic. it reflects, oh, i would say a very, what is that end of? well, it is says ation of the whole situation and who will suffer? it will be of course, citizens of bella rose,

whose faith so dear to the western governments. and it will be travellers from western europe who will have to fly on a different route along here a longer route. and that will make the air a big it's of course more expensive. right. so all in a busy day at the forum on friday. but let me a speech that was put in his speech, excuse me, to calls for fair recognition of the covert busting drugs wherever the vaccines originate from. and there is still a full weekend of debates deals and discussions still ahead of north. we will make sure that you don't miss a single thing right here on our to international the the

heroes daycare, but for our annual summer solutions. when we look at the solution of the problems today, we're talking to simon dick's, the bank for the future. he's been around since almost the beginning. he's got a wealth of knowledge. ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? type relation. community. are you going the right way or are you being somewhere direct? what is true?

what is in a world corrupted. you need to this end. the so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows ah, in the welcome back. this is already international. know france has announced to the suspension of joint military operations with molly in the wake of last week's military coup in the african nation. paris says it will maintain the measures until it receives guarantees of a return to civilian rule. while awaiting these guarantees, france has decided to suspend as a temporary measure, joined military operations with marley and forces as well as national advice. remissions for the benefit president cron has also threatened to withdraw. frances

5000 soldiers from the region placed there as part of an anti terror operation in 2013. but some experts now fear a french withdraw could boost the influence of radicalism. next historian gerald horn says, the move could spell whiter problems for parish. i think that frances, in a quagmire, this temporary withdrawal, it seems to me, will be quite brief. because already the religious zealots control about 60 to 75 percent of the country. the french back regime only supports the remainder, sadly, and unfortunately, the french back regime and bama cope also is deeply and messed in religious fanaticism itself. president mcroy has not helped matters with regard to his maneuvers and neighboring shad. recall that when the leader eaters debbie was killed in a conflict with rebels just a few weeks ago,

rather than follow the constitution. the military and shad decided to promote interest. debbie son to be head of state rather than objecting president and the chrome show up at the interest debbie's funeral and sat next to this the legitimate leader. so it seems to me that france was on the verge of losing control of its neo colonial empire. and what used to be call french west africa passengers returning to new k r, describing chaos. surrounding the country's coven testing roles. with some people even paying hundreds of pounds for tests that arrive late or don't come at all. now, arthur, not t, v dot can tell such a tale. he paid almost 400 pounds for the test when he returned to the u. k. from america, according to the regulations, he needed to test on the 2nd and 8 day of arrival. how,

while he was waiting for the results of the testing company, was removed from the list of government approved providers and he was forced to repeat the whole process. his wife has started a campaign to attract attention to the growing problem. the government haven't. yeah, 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, how 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 that the huge amount of influx that they had. they also 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 pci 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 solve may well 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 and possible quarantine when you're back in the country, depending on where you fly in from. and to add it to the confusion that there are different rules in place for england, wales, northern ireland, and scotland. the managing director of one testing clinic says the system is under enormous pressure. travel is starting to take off more and more people are having tests to fly more and more cases of people not getting bad results back on time on

getting that becket delivered on time people self swapping home using the postal services very the chance it will have major issues or cause major issues around again are capacity in logistics processing if both from the power tree and the private providers don't work together to make sure that they're promising it deliverable. i think one of the challenges here is the providers are coming out of the woodwork to make money, which i get not in business, but i don't think that's necessarily the best thing for the consumer in terms of building a equitable, efficient private sector testing infrastructure that can meet the needs of customers, particularly when it comes to travel. denmark has passed a law that would allow it to send migrants to countries outside the e u, while their applications to stay are pending. the moves got big support among

citizens at home, but has sparked condemnation within the block. we shut the concern expressed by the un high commissioner for refugee external processing that was fine print rated under member questions about both the access to the procedures and effective access to protection. it is not possible under existing e rules when the new 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 backing in a parliamentary vote, a spokesperson for the social democratic party, which had the government says, despite the criticizing copenhagen for the move, something had to be done, migrants coming from different places in africa, middle eastern countries. they will probably start seeking our buying class item

and they know that they will be sent out of europe again. you legislation comes and made a rising pressure on denmark after it's stripped. a handful of syrian refugees of their residency on the ground that the syrian capital damascus and the surrounding region are now considered safe than market the 1st european country to take such a step. the decision immediately ignited outrage among refugee and human rights groups which lead to protests that hit the country last month. copenhagen defended the decision, saying the areas in question have been saved for almost a year. here's what an opponent to the new law, had to say. all this garment came to power and the minority that threw in the election freshly this call is very much against people from the daily, specially with muslim background. you know, so they don't want them to come this when the syrians came. now they want to kick them out. also, they are trying to, to make laws where they can send people back to see the problem is that this

government, 1st democratic government knows that it is impractical and not a feasibility of and they don't want to leave this way because if they did, they could you side by the far right parties. 34 and a half minutes. that's when i will be back with another full and fresh look at you news. this is our t international. certainly. glad have you with the the news. join me every thursday on the alex, silent show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in

the segregated all along my social class. last, last people also covered by 1st name. if you're born into a 4 family, you're born into a minority family. if you're born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your life, chances people die on average. 15 years old, born a generational poverty. this is a fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family. me when i was the wrong when i was just don't the room to fill out the scene because of the after an engagement equal betrayal.

when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look for common ground in the room, but the one business show you can't afford to miss. i'm been one in washington and coming up facebook says donald trump is suspended from their platform until at least 2023 will talk about the legal implications and the big power that tech has overpowered that. and the north st pipeline reaches yet another milestone. as the u . s. continues to walk back its opposition. then dividing the ministration takes aim at chinese companies, expanding the blacklisted, whitening economic rift between the 2 countries. it is

a pac show. so let's get started. and we begin with this announcement from facebook on the suspension of former us president donald trump. trump will not be allowed back on facebook for at least 2 years. that's the official sentence. if you want to call that handed down by the social media giant, facebook said it would revisit the suspension 2 years from the date of its initial move to suspend him on january 7th. do the math on that conveniently. it means that trump would not be reinstated until at least after next year's mid term elections. i say at least because after those 2 years, facebook may revisit the issue, but they might not let them back on. facebook original suspension was open ended, but their oversight board rule that it was not appropriate. facebook released this statement today saying in part, quote, given the gravity of the circumstances that led to mr. trump suspension, we believe his actions constituted a severe violation of our rules, which merit the highest penalty available under the new enforcement protocols in quote. so here is a twist on

a big tech story going from facebook to now facebook and amazon and twitter and google because all of them are suing the state of florida over a law that bans d platforming. yes, it's tech suing so that it can be platform can be platform. here's the breakdown. florida governor run ascentis on a new bill into law. it is designed to prohibit social media companies from willfully de platforming political candidates. it also let's florida find florida as a state find a company, $250000.00 a day if it does de platform someone. the law also allow florida citizens to sue a tech company for up to $100000.00. if they believe it's breaking the law, the lawsuit which is been filed by 2 groups representing big tech call the law a quote, she mortgage board of constitutional violations. while we barrels, as a contributor with americans while you're going to. now, molly, a smorgasbord of competition word to say it's an incredible word and you don't hear

. i know many lawsuits. what specifically are these companies claiming violates their rights? essentially they're saying that the republican lead legislature and de santis which pushed for this and eventually got it signed and it will go into effect july 1st. they're basically saying that they through every 1st amendment violation at the wall to see what would stick and wrapped it all up into this legislation. and in essence, they basically list a litany of what they feel like are objectionable rules. that they're asking these social media platforms to follow, which is one, like you said, they must host all candidates running for office, regardless of what they say or do, or how objectionable some of their content may be, or if it conflicts with their own social media policies they've also got a list. what the written rules are for what's allowed, what isn't allowed, give users notice if they're going to make any changes. i don't think that is so much if he, but it's just taken as a whole also that they can take almost any.
