4 shots, the different stories behind the bullets. the moscow said a grim record, a daily number of kobe 19 cases, stores to an all time high. the city's mirror as the raft of new measures. also i had on the program, you a straight delica boat claim victory and a legal battle over a vaccine supply delays. the court orders the pharmaceutical charge to deliver a $50000000.00 more doses by the end of september. devastating floods leave at least one person dead and 8 injured in. southern rushes, crimea province after torrential rains, cause rivers to breach their banks or districts subject to state
1:01 pm
ah, broadcasting i from the regime capital every hour of the day. this is the news r and r t. a little moscow has registered a daily record in new cove with infections with more than 9000 cases in the past 24 hours. the city mur saves a host of new restrictions are being brought in, including limiting non emergency medical care for on vaccinated patients. are teeth li, up a tranquil as the latest forest. less than 2 weeks ago. the numbers in moscow were plus $2900.00 cases. and there you have it this friday, and new sad record of more than plus $9000.00 in a whole country like mexico for example. this figure is 2 times smaller. so what is
1:02 pm
going on? it looks like the new delta varian, which is taking its toll on the russian capital, according to the mayor of moscow. almost 90 percent of the new infections in the city are the new delta variance because also we're going to see them. the delta strain spreads foster, and the worst thing about it is that the person needs strong immunity twice as many antibodies to resistance compared to the original hand viruses. so essentially we're going through the same thing again, but with more severe consequences, the government has come to the understanding that the pace of the vaccination has been very though, and now they're rushing to change that. now, here's one of the groundbreaking decisions introduced by the medical authorities and the washing capital. in moscow, free non essential care in the hospitals will only be provided for those who have
1:03 pm
been vaccinated. everyone will still get the emergency treatment if it's required. if you are a patient with the cancer or with blood diseases, you will still get all the necessary treatment. but in other cases for non essential care, like i said, a jab will be required. patients have a weekend immune system for them could be 900, is especially dangerous. it is impossible to avoid all contact with them or to isolate them. all those who can have the jet for special reasons will still be admitted to hospital and emergency medical care will be provided with exception to everybody, regardless of vaccination, stay this i campaign in the city to promote booster jabs will also begin in the near future. at a couple of days ago, the moscow's mayor office announced mandatory vaccination for 60 percent of the staff in the service sector. so it looks like the russian capital is bracing itself
1:04 pm
for nothing less but a real vaccination boom. when vladimir putin as press secretary dmitri pascal was asked about what the kremlin makes of the new spikes and the measures. here's what the spokesperson replied. don't get even worse. and a he tuition is due to 3 things, the absolute nihilism. that is people failure to comply with restrictions, the low vaccination rate and the slide nature of the virus. in the meantime, the existing anti cove measures in the russian capital have been extended till the end of june name leave the closure of bars, restaurants and clubs. during the night and also a 3rd of staff members being required to work from home. in addition to that, the moscow mayor's office has also bad mass gatherings of over 1000 people. besides this dance floor and football fans owns will also have to be shut down for now. once again, i'd like to point out that so far,
1:05 pm
these are the measures that have been announced for the washing capital. this isn't on a federal level just yet, but we have received a warning from the authorities that all. busy of this could be extended to other regions of russia if that is required. so this is a possibility in the near future as well. ok to another of our headline stories today. a court in brussels has ordered astrazeneca to deliver 50000000 more doses of its covert vaccine to the european union. by the end of september, the ruling follows a long running legal parcel over supply delays both sides by the way, or claiming victory or power a space correspondence charlotte duban ski digs deeper into the issue both sides claiming victory in this court case over whether or not astrazeneca broke its contract to deliver supplies of cobra. 1900, that's at least will you repeat the commission alleged to and it's lewis went to
1:06 pm
called a few weeks ago. it was demanding in cool that astrazeneca before, to supply some extra doing meaning. you have to bring a 120000000 doses of 900 jobs to the european union by the end of june. so in the next 2 weeks. but the belgian court rejected is that unsettled a completely different time table for astrazeneca. the judge also rule that the european union european commission didn't have the exclusive right. it didn't have the priority to any of the astra seneca jobs that were manufactured to here also in the u. k. which is also something that the commission lawyers had claimed. and additionally, the court recognized that astrazeneca had had problems with its manufacturing processes. that's what i presented because lloyd's. he said, what's the reason for this delay, therefore, astrazeneca see this being a win astrazeneca has fully comply with its agreement with the european commission
1:07 pm
. and we will continue to focus on the urgent task of supplying an effective vaccine which we are delivering at no profits to help protect people in europe and around the world from the deadliest pandemic in a generation. well, the european commission is also crowing that it had a victory in court by this ruling, by the belgian judge is well, why? well, that's because of the court outlining this new time table for extra deliveries of the job to come here to the european union. basically what the court said is that by the end of september, astrazeneca supply an additional $50000000.00 doses to the book. and if it doesn't, it receive a fine of around 10 euros per dose that is delayed, but not 10 years per day. a delay, which is what the european commissions lewis had actually asked for. but this ruling was welcomed by lavonne delaine the commission precedent. this decision
1:08 pm
confirmed the position of the commission astrazeneca did not live up to the commitment made in the contract. it is good to see that an independent judge consensus. this shows the european vaccination campaign not only delivers for our sits since day by day. it also demonstrates that it was founded on a sound legal basis. but this is a pretty hollow victory if it is a victory in any sense because european commission and perhaps it's just trying to save face by saying that, why? well, the deadline that's been set by the court, which is the end of september, is a deadline. the astrazeneca said it was looking at working towards any way towards the end of this year, delivering all of the doses that it was supposed to. and, and rebuttal of the idea that the european commission is wanting court today, after seneca has said that it's going to smash that deadline set by the court anyway. and many will be perhaps wondering,
1:09 pm
given the circumstances surrounding astrazeneca how it's been seen hearing you report for the last few months why this case even went to court. and i say that because across the european union, many countries have put severe restrictions on who can have astrazeneca and lots of countries. it's only age groups over a certain age. and in some countries it has been rejected from use all together. and that's because of those links that we keep hearing about with very rare but fee to blood clots. and also in the last few days, we heard from the head to the cook, with 900 task force. this is for europe in medicines agency, which is the use of the truck regulator. when he was asked whether the idea that astrazeneca should just be entirely ditch now is a job. he said, yes, it should, begging the question why this went to court in the 1st place.
1:10 pm
the european union is trying to free up travel with its new coven 19 certificates, but things have gotten off to a shaky start with the controversial program. a consumer group in belgium said this scheme as it stands isn't going to work. the grid cold test usher pointed to key differences in our members states regulate coban trouble. for some countries, p. c r test for entry should be no longer than 72 hours. but others, spain and poland, for example, of a 48 hour deadline. also some nations, including austria and denmark, are unwilling to accept anti jan test from those coming from red zones and not include britain. if you are troubling with children, the minimum age requirement for testing varies as well from state to state. we spoke with simon november they to sports person for test shot. we had a concern is they have been working to ensure that european travels, certificate isn't effective, not discriminatory,
1:11 pm
and free certificates fargo's numerous. so it took us, it took a lot of work. and now in fact, we feel we have to be able to to unify that to be an effective general tool. so we got to have the countries use different different rules. we mentioned that you go in all day by a car and you have to travel to a different countries in europe. and there are different rules applicable concerning explanation. time or n, v g or d r as hoster you can struggle. so if the other guy ask situation we leave for uniformity, so it's a build towards the members. they make it an effective generally restore to move. so that means that all the members, they have to have to speak the same language. and that's not the case to make 2 more world news today. swiss voters have approved a new anti terror law and
1:12 pm
a reference. it allows police to keep tubs on people and children as young as 12, without a court order. however, there's plenty of concern about the new law, un special repertoire and torture. needles melcher, let's call it unprofessional. inefficient and dangerous. last year, experts appointed by the un human rights council said the legislation, such a dangerous precedent on the sea. international said its open de niro, of general eyes suspicion. your senior correspondence are not guilty of reporting from switzerland. the 3 jews for balance of the tax and stabbings in recent years have rattled society. while the thing led to another and switzerland is now home to the most draconian counted terror laws in europe. it was the will of the people. that's the thing with suisse direct democracy, new middle met. i've people want to give police state, uncheck powers,
1:13 pm
they can and they did 57 percent voted in referendum for these. the question is that people fully understand what they were voting for. thank you. feler noticed me. i think a lot of people are not aware how dangerous the law as and as it is cutting into the freedom of all activists in this country. and now you can be imprison, want to get put under house arrest or put under suspicion of terrorism without a court order. and i think the people were not sufficiently aware before the referendum. police can now monitor those as young as 12 years old, limit their movements force them to take part in interviews which means interrogate the for any reason that they deem good enough. i able to put suspect as young as 15, and the house arrest for months and months and rights groups have been ringing. alarm bells about this. let me sit, do. i'm the international. this law is extremely problematic because winter,
1:14 pm
and generalized suspicion where any person can be targeted by this definition of terrorist activity. a different person that does not correspond to that providers and the criminal code and does not correspond to international standards, which always includes an element of violence. the crux of the matter is that these new laws, apart from the ethical complications of going off the 12 year olds, that preventative by design. and preventative is a very controversial thing. he ordinarily, if you commit the crime, for example, you get punished right. while preventative means you're stopped before you can commit the crop before it's a hobb before you do something you might regret. and the sweets is still very much divided over this. i voted against it. of course what dis me give authority is it gives them ground to take measures against citizens before. busy a judge
1:15 pm
has ordered those measures a voltage in favor to protect our population. exactly. i think it's necessary unfortunately, because some people in class don't have exactly the same manner of thinking, respectfully to one. so terrorist can be everywhere it's. it's really the terrorists come from government, never, never terrors. come from everybody. nobody. no, no, no. on the government id. vote for that. i know i was not very sure, but i did the vote for voted against because of civil liberties restrictions which go pretty far under that low. and that's the thing making all, all of us become prospect so wide and vague is the definition of terrorist activity . if you google something that someone might construe as dangerous view cracked,
1:16 pm
or a bad joke, if your friends fall in a law enforcement reva, you can become suspect. i'm the freedom loving us with. for me, i mean, it's a, it's a shame. it's an absolute shame that we have, that we have to vote for such a law. and it's even the big shame except the people accepted it. everyone that is, that don't agrees with you know, the strategy from our account to, for example. but what is coming that their basic can lock away everyone. so i mean, it's even harder than the patrick back. i think it will be used most likely against this climate activists. but i think the much bigger problem that i see because the place except that, that kind of accurate act is that a lot of other countries might take it over and say, you know, switzerland period as well. so we can do it also over here in saudi arabia, wherever and this is, this is a terrible sign for the rest of the world. and so i'm very, very much shame to be with, oh, some people are planning to fight it,
1:17 pm
but chances are great at the end of the day. so it's authorities on monsters lay care for their people. the question is, the future, how future rule is we'll, we'll this lot, and that's what worries people here. let's head state sides where the inmates of a texas prison are being relocated to make room for migrants after a spike in crimes committed by people illegally crossing into the u. s. from mexico . the texas governor has just defined the decision by saying that the state has to have all the rule of law by its own means and reiterated the claim by the ministry is ignoring the ongoing monitoring crisis. at the border. ortiz kill up open reports, branches destroyed threats to resonance. lots of chaos, texas border sheriffs say in the 30 years they've been guarding the border. they
1:18 pm
have not seen anything like it. crimes related to illegal border crossings by undocumented workers are now on the rise. i've never seen it quite like this. we have always had a fence. got here. fence got there because they're hauling dope or small kids or something. but we've never seen the intentional big 4 by 4 holes in the fans or now and 10 foot section just can't completely out. that's really starting to bother me . it's a mess. that's what it is. nobody seems to care about is down here. we're 6065 miles away from the border and they say that everything's okay. no, it's not. ok. conservatives are voicing outrage that amid the situation. restrictions are being loosened and not tightened. trump era. 2 restrictions on asylum seekers intended to curb gangs and domestic violence have just been lifted. the numbers are big in may. 180000 people were apprehended at the border. the biggest monthly total since april of 2000 border states are now pleading for help.
1:19 pm
florida is sending officers to arizona and texas to help out texas is now putting $250000000.00 of their own state budget into building a border wall. busy of their own, the texas governor blames joe biden for dropping the ball. texas is going to do with the by the ministration is refusing to do. we will be using every tool available to us under the law. and we will ensure that we build the wall, arrest people, and make texas safe. many border state residents feel like the white house just doesn't care. it's been over 85 days, but vice president common harris has still not visited the border. i write to invite you to the us to the board to observe the ongoing humanitarian crisis and share the perspective of americans who lived. i encourage you to join me and other members of congress, while we visits with the people in the ground who deal with these issues every day . house democrats were able to block a bill,
1:20 pm
but forward by republicans that would have actually prevented comma le harris from taking any international trips until she visited the border. pri, of border state residency is one of the outrage at government mismanagement. what i believe is that the democrats are playing a long game of obscure and confuse while they try to get as many illegal immigrants . i'm still going to call them back into the country as possible. well, the democrats haven't taken any action that will actually solve probably on the border. those are actions that trump took during the ministration that solved problems at the border. wonderfully well, the combination of the fence and the working with the mexican president to get the immigrants to stop before they get to the border. all that was taken care of and working very well during a trump era. harris was put in charge of the border by joe biden, but she hasn't gone to visit because she doesn't want to tow a group of reporters around taking pictures and asking questions about the chaos she doesn't want to draw attention to it. she'd rather embarrass herself by talking
1:21 pm
in circles and flying off to europe and doing other things and saying that she must do those instead of going to the board. she doesn't want to go to the order because it will draw attention to how much of a failure it is in normal viewing terms. now the biden white house has certainly offered up a change in rhetoric and policy is when it comes to the us mexico border. but so far things have not really gotten better. in fact, they've gotten quite a bit worse. many are wondering when the white house will step up and offer some real solutions. caleb mob been r. t new york the your to district in the russian province of crimea declared a state of emergency amid severe flooding which is left at least one person dead. and 8 others injured. hundreds, being evacuated from the city center after torrential rains caused a river to burst this bank. the area surrounding the local power station has been inundated. there are years of a likely block on one local,

1:25 pm
things like taking the ne, demonstrating that you have a commonality of view with the protesters. the policing is compatible with the standards of service that people require. if they're police, i think we're past the high watermark the public a getting a little bit fed up virtue signaling police offices when they really rather we just locked up burglars last summer. so a wave of b l m. protests across the u. k. following the movements rise in america during the rallies, pictures emerged of officers taking the knee in solid door at c with the demonstrators . back in spring, this year, the country's independent police authority heard the force to think very carefully before making such gestures. well, that's the case being hit by a spike and burger reason. recent years, in many cases, going on, salt manchester's police chief has voted to change the situation and investigate even minor crimes. however,
1:26 pm
a former police officer we spoke to has little confidence that will happen. the police service does not have sufficient resources to do everything properly. it doesn't even have sufficient resources to do most things. reasonably. something is criticized. the police service react to that by moving resources from elsewhere into it. it gets better for something else and starts to 5. a nice criticized. we will just go round and round and round in circles because nobody's actually diagnosing the fundamental problem. and doing anything to trade is essential that the police are seen to be biased. that is a concern about taking the ne, happened a couple of times with a few officers the particular place, i think the place service has been affected. like virtually everything. every other institution is controlled by a change in attitudes, particularly deciding and then towards the signaling sort of things and welcome them, whatever it's something that is happening and why does society in fact, across the world,
