12:00 pm
need together, i know the, the, the, the top headlines are not, teens and optional. dozens of criminal cases are opened and hundreds of web pages removed as russia tackle to trade in fake vaccine certificates in the program or report her found out the risks of trying to obtain one for himself. so they put all the information that i gave them, the faith name and date of birth. faith that i would scan and i've lost my money public opinion. it flipped over to statues of georgia, floyd unveiled for june. 18th, that's a brand new federal holiday in america. in the end of slavery. so here on our team,
12:01 pm
we put the issue up for debate. there are many african americans who are, are much more deserving with man with basically a drug criminal. i'm actually, george boy isn't being lifted up as a hero, but a reminder of the institutions in this country that are systemically, raises the last downs protests. a scuffle with beneath in london as crowds bent their fury over the constant extension of covey restrictions. ah, 7 o'clock, monday evening, here at moscow. this is archie international, a busy day for your worldwide headlines. let's get straight into them. so moscow is
12:02 pm
grappling with a new wave of covert infections, 7000 cases registered in just the past 24 hours. that is down record high of 9000 just a few days ago. and russia's president vladimir putin says the pandemic has worsened in certain parts of the country. socially. no. unfortunately, the co with threat hasn't proceeded in the number of regents. it's actually got worse. but in the spring and summer of last year, when the situation was especially difficult, we managed to soften the very 1st hardness blow buying time to mobilize the health care system. as well as for our scientists who developed a vaccine the rock and capital recently made injections mandatory for certain sectors which could explain why it's fake vaccination market is booming right now. here at moscow. correspondent across it in a rush call, found out the risks of trying to score one for himself. $35.00. that's how little a fe, coded vaccine certificate would cost you here in russia. now not only are they
12:03 pm
cheap, but the market for them is huge. so i went on telegram and found land of anonymous groups that are offering you what at 1st glance might seem as real prove that you were inoculated. those certificates even have hospital dams and doctorates a signature. it's fake one of course. but that's exactly what i was looking for. so i went with taliban group that was the quickest to respond and i gave them and made up name, date of birth, etc. and they sent me back a picture of what the final certificate would look like. here it is. so they've already made it look. so they put all the information that i gave them, the faith name, date of birth, be address. and the certificate has stamps that have been dr. a signature, so i gotta give it to them. it really looks like a real one. i know,
12:04 pm
at least to me, they were polite and i didn't notice anything fish. hello. i would like to buy cobra. 900 vaccination certificate. how can that be done? option $140.00 for certificate, not registered on government website. option $2108.00 for certificate registered on government website. how will the courier deliver it? how does it happen? the youngest korea will pass you the certificate in a yellow envelope like a package from eli express. you know, from what i've seen, the business is booming. these people are even trying to learn new customers with discounts and special offers. they sent samples and even warned against scammers, he'd take your money and disappear, and in fact, that's exactly what happened to me. so i transferred the money and we agreed to meet at a metro station, but they screwed me up the well, i think there is no point. me wait any longer because let's face it,
12:05 pm
i would scan and i've lost my money. even if i had gotten the certificate, it wouldn't have helped me much. you've seen russia when you get a covey jab, a record of years on the government website called god, so slugging without this, any printed document about vaccination with all the stamps is just a scrap of paper. but if you're willing to pay more the same people promise they can hack the system and get you a real working q r code. that'll prove you've had the vaccine. even if you haven't been hello. do you provide vaccination certificates? yes. which one do you need? the simple one or with registration on cost louis, i need the $1.00 with the registration on the site. what information do you need from me? your name, address, and date of vaccination which you need on the certificate prepayment is 50 percent . and after putting your date on the government side, you pay the remaining 50 percent. so with that official, yes, of course,
12:06 pm
completely official. you will get a q r code for the government website as soon as we finish it. but how will you do it? we have our own ways, the scheme works. that's why we suggest completing the payment after you get your q r code. so you will know for sure that we did our work. while the cameras i talked to were very discreet about their methods, but we know there are confirmed cases of people get into vaccination certificate registered on the government website without actually taking the jap. that scheme is more sophisticated and it cost way more around. $300.00 us dollars and a requires that corrupt health care worker who has to fill in patients data without seeing that person. and then throw away an unused jap for the record, which, you know, among other things is a waste of all the vaccine is opened and poured out. just in case there is some sudden inspection. it would be difficult to explain where these dozens of extra
12:07 pm
vials came from, because all the vaccines are numbered. rushing authorities are trying to crack down on the fraudsters and we know of 24 felony cases opened up in the last few weeks over forest vaccine certificates. on top of that, russia is internet watchdog. ross. com that dories for sync scores of suspicious websites and telegraph verbs to shut down. but the black market is expanding its reach, especially now that covert jobs are becoming mandatory for most workers in moscow. service sector transferred in education, and russian officials claims they are out of options here. the country now deals with the delta various which is grad faster and have harder for scammers are sensing this and getting ready to line their pockets. but one should not forget. but if you opt for a fake certificate, instead of a real shot, you risk either losing your money the way i did or what's worse getting on the wrong side of the law. and then there was the matter of deadly virus that you are
12:08 pm
still not protected against all the market for out of it. certificate is a global one in america, the f. b. i has received several 1000 vaccine scam alerts since the thought of this year. and in germany, a special police unit has been set up the account with the trade. we discussed the issue with martin bolts, a member of germany's left party print for document for the nation. this is and asia and people emphasis and accept an acceptable. but i think this is just the result of politics which doesn't lead to equality and the possibility to be in germany for example, if you want to get back to not everybody wants to be seen can be. but sometimes you have to wait for like 3 weeks or 4 weeks or even longer. so i think this is 2 sides of the same metal. the state has to care for medical care for the possibility of a thing for everyone. and the people themselves. they have to can
12:09 pm
americans are divided over to new statues of george floyd, who of course, died during an arrest by a police officer. last year. one bus was put up in new york for june, 18th, a new us holiday marking at the end of slavery in america. george roy brother, who was at the unveiling of the monument called his killing a sacrifice to the cause of racial justice. a couple of days earlier, another statue of george floyd was presented to the public this time in new jersey . now it's been 13 months since the death of george floyd in minneapolis and event the spark months of civil unrest in america and beyond. a police officer was convicted of his killing and april. he'll be sentenced next week. the new statues, though happy and widely criticized on line with some pointing out that the mainstream media continues to ignore or should we say, forget that mr. floyd had an extensive criminal record tearing down statues of our nation's founding fathers and putting upset use of criminals. there
12:10 pm
are many worthy black people to put up statues of, but a violent criminal he was killed while being arrested. is definitely not one of them. some people really building fame, political careers and pocketing money off the name of george floyd. why do i need to know who his brother endorse from new york city? and why is there a statue of him in brooklyn? and josie, this is all nasty to me. earlier my colleague unit and we'll discuss the issue with a social commentator and a political activist. i think it's a big mistake on the part of people who are really just virtual virtue signaling to make this man into a hero. there are many african americans who are much more deserving, who are doing positive things in the community that you could make into a hero and a role model. this man was a drug, basically a drug addicted criminal. i would hope that sister melanie is death is upset and more join me and calling for the removal of the 4 white man who would have been
12:11 pm
convicted of committing war crimes who are currently on a much mount rushmore mountain on stolen indigenous territory. i would also hope that sister melanie would be upset of the fact that there were slave owners, greatest of african women and genocidal maniacs, who currently are represented on us currency. i'd rather see a statue of conduct the rice, a clarence thomas, other other black people who have done a positive thing in the black community. i don't, i don't see a statue of george or somebody who did not do positive things in the black community. i don't, i don't see it as something positive. i'm actually george floyd isn't being lifted up as a hero. but a reminder of the fact that institutions in this country that are systemically races, including i'm a police force that was acted to assist with the theft of store of indigenous land
12:12 pm
. and the capture of black bodies who escaped bondage is why we are writing these statues. one of the main features of last year's protest we spoke about in this program was pulling dine statues that caused the vision. a lot of rage, a lot of hatred out there, wasn't there. why put up more of them? i don't think that we can complete a statue of george floyd to a statue of, of say, robert e lee or, and andrew jackson, george floyd, had nothing to do with the genocide of indigenous people. this act up and didn't plan and the enslavement of defendants of africans. i don't think that it actually does anything for black people to take the battery down. i think again it's just it just virtue they're going and wiping out history. i don't think it's a, i don't think it's a great idea and i think it just, it, it stuff. symbolism. i don't think we should, the reductive of the trauma that it causes indigenous and black people to see statues and street names named after the people who killed in slaves and kept our
12:13 pm
black people really that emotionally weak that it's, it's traumatic to see the batteries i've been to the black, the 3 museum and philadelphia that that period was not traumatic for me. it was no, but it's certainly was not for matter. frustration is building and the u. k. over relentless lockdown expansions, coby restrictions were supposed to be east today. that last week the government pushed back the target date by 4 weeks until july 19th. so a large riley lot in london today, an anti lockdown raleigh started peacefully with then ended up pretty agitated. the world today was supposed to be freedom day here in the united kingdom, but in the heart of central london, it seems to be anything. but of course,
12:14 pm
of the month of the month, the prime minister, far as joseph was hailing june 21st as the day that old 19 restrictions would be lifted. but just last week he had known a full week delay to that freedom day. and many people here in central london are absolutely furious that this poses a prison sentence will be extended even longer so much. so we've even witness and scuffle between the protestors here today and the police are mostly price as a chanting freedom. and shame on you is they believe that the government is trying to control them. they could, by the time in months that they vaccinate the 1st 15000000 most that read, that would be great. and then the movie again until april. and then they said, let's do the 1000000 and then, but the notes here for or you know, probably said that no matter what 21st to june would be free. and we're not great.
12:15 pm
these ridiculous restrictions which across the board or anything from dr. old say, entertainment. not justified by the medical evidence taken to freedom individual. so now the due date for the diary is july, the 19th that's the day, the bar stools and hope to lift all of these are kind of data restrictions, but it also came with a warning from the prime minister that doing so any soon us could result in 1000 little people dying instead, there's a huge focus on i'm saying that the vaccination program, things that all adults will be off of the vaccine by that date. needless to say, many people here that all protesting throughout the day will probably decline that invitation because they all do it. it's got a lot to do with population control. now as we know, the government has always said that the policy would be guided by the data and not the day. so certainly makes messages coming from government,
12:16 pm
especially considering the chief scientist advisors to the government has said that the u. k. would be living with private 19 forever. so many people have protesting. today are worried whether or not there's lockdown will last forever run. sure. and pretty much doubtful. so the government can really stick to this new freedom day on july. the 19th for remember, far as johnson has always said that this lockdown would be the very last for people here today, say stephanie to and you can believe that should have been one of them. that's great. in the 1st prize and allegations of sexual abuse, certain e u funded migrant camp in libya. here was the testimony of one of those that you have to offer something in return to go to the bathroom to call the family or to avoid beating. it's like we're being held by traffickers while it's not the 1st time a suffer from sexual attacks. this is more painful as it was by the people who should protect us. will be allocations,
12:17 pm
are really likely to cause some concern and really raise questions for the you. and that's because it partly funds around 20000000 if these detention centers in libya that that teenage girl from somalia who made those allegations says it's the 1st time she'd been subjected to sexual violence. and that's because she had already suffered at the hands of human traffickers, human traffickers who were well known for torturing and abusing migrants to try and leave the new and african she was to get to europe. and she says that when she was liberated and taken to one of these detention fences, she thought her deal was over. but sadly, from those allegations, it was far from that. now some human rights group say that these centers are known for being rife for sexual abuse. sexual violence and exploitation are rife in several detention centers for migrants across the country. women migrants reduced
12:18 pm
to sex, slaves and libya. the dangerous journey leading to libya are not gender neutral. victims of trafficking and slavery deserved internal protection, whether migrants or refugees. in fact, an own report which is written back in 2019 highlighted the massive issues in these detention centers. thousands of men, women, and children remain arbitrarily detained in d. c, i am centered in libya, mix migrants in overcrowded detention centers a reporter to suffer from various abuses and deprivation, including forced labor, torture, sexual and gender based violence. this raises even bigger questions about the use own role in this cycle of gender and sexual based violence because the, he was helping to fund the libyan coast guard, which is working to intercept migrant boats before they leave the coastal waters of libya. now just this year alone, around 13000 men,
12:19 pm
children and women have been intercepted menu of whom have then been taken to these types of senses for processing all kept for longer periods. now the u. n h d r and others such as m s. s, they are advocating for the release of this teenage girl who made this allegations and those other girls that she said will also be at. but the realities until that happens, these schools and possibly even many more fear that they torturous deals are far from over when they make simple a basic human request to go to the bathroom that they could be subjected to this type of sexual assault and violence, something that clean nobody can deem acceptable and manual microns particles what's being described now was a slap in the face in the 1st round of french regional elections. early results
12:20 pm
suggested came 3rd or even 4th. in most regions. however, the vote was also significant for its very low turn out. 67 percent of voters just stayed away from holding stations. the french president's party managed to gonna oh, near on 10 percent of the vote, which is about half as much as as rifle marine la pens, national rally. the 2 are expected to face off for the next presidential election in 10 months time. we spoke with a french political analyst, alexi pooler, who told us to what these results could mean for the french president and his party . those is, this reflects a feverish state that has gripped in the executive branch of government, including a manual micron and this national vote is the only way the french have to say stop or go on about manual macros policies tonight. they said clearly enough, we don't want that any more. in terms of ministers, 5 ministers who did not pass the 1st round, our historic. this is a snap in the face. this is a historic vote. what does this mean?
12:21 pm
this means that macros party completely failed. it simply does not exist for the french. this is a media policy. it served as a vehicle for manual microns become president of the republic in 2017. but outside of that, it does not exist. and other european leader was also facing a hard time as the swedish parliament has just voted through a no confidence motion against the prime minister. social democrats, stefan lafayette, is the 1st pm in the country's history to be ousted in this way is due to his government plans to deregulate sweden's housing rental market that has been hit hard by the pandemic. if he refuses to resign, the country will face snap elections later this year has spilled out onto the streets in brazil after the country's cove it dest told top half a 1000000 anti government protesters, and dozens of cities across the country marched to condemn president j. e. are both and not the handling of the pandemic. the far right brazilian leader has been
12:22 pm
widely criticized for playing down the pandemic opposing locked downs and casting doubts on the efficacy of vaccine bottom. and your inquiry is currently underway into the government's cobra. to respond and alleged failure to acquire enough jobs to protect the brazilian people. here's what some of the protesters had to say. 500000 desks is a big setback. brazil with wants an example. when it comes to vaccination, we have great institutions that are internationally recognized and very said that we are in this situation. they say, well, we have a president leading the country who's completely oblivious to the brazilian people's names that were in the middle of a panoramic. and everything the president does is damaging to the brazilian population promotion going out without miles and drugs without scientific evidence for him, i just give him a couple of us on average of brazil has reported more than 2000 daily deaths over
12:23 pm
the past week. the country has a grim lead in the daily number of infections over the same period of time, and accounted for one in every 5 cases. globally, 11 percent of the population now has been vaccinated, and we spoke with a roughly alec and a r s. a public health research, he's been campaigning, the to speed up the pace effects donations. he told us to pandemic must be better dealt with 1st to hear the major issue and then the to us. but i guess from then it's more ever social and political problem here. since we, we have a president with the knife, the board of this, and then we also are in the middle of like a process of the legislative trying to, to understand what happened from the, from then contraction. just stablish. what, what did both now to get wrong all these months, maybe get the major reason why brazil now is doing some actions. but at this point,
12:24 pm
it's really hard to have success and is actually not short. or the president, both in our claim that the pandemic is being exploited to undermine him. politically . he argues that locked down to do more harm than good and insist that he's done everything possible to get people vaccinated. a daniel valencia, vice president of the work as part of the state, rio grande date, in order to says bolton, ours claims are aggravating public anger. they also said they studied people say that the both scenarios government is more dangerous than the virus itself. and as a result, there have been about 478 protests across the country against the both. now government and millions of people are taking to the streets throughout the country . the president commits a crime every time he says something, this is nothing new. what happens is that the more people we lose, the more public anger and resentment grows because everyone knows that the back things like putting,
12:25 pm
being others arrived in the country earlier. we would have had a way, few deaths, and we have now and every week, both scenarios statements just make people angry or and you cove it, a mutation is causing alarm. and india, with a highly infectious delta strain, already causing havoc scientists to take a 20 cases of an offshoot of that, which they now calling delta plus salt health officials in india. so the new version appears to be weaker than its predecessor, but that keeping a close eye on it, the existence of the new strain has not been officially recognized by the world health organization. and there's still some doubt as to where delta plus came from . some british scientists say it came from mountaineers and nepal. nevertheless, it's been getting plenty of attention due to the global spread of the original delta variant, which has reportedly claimed almost 400000 lives in india. we're looking across live to talk to about out of time cardio senior clinical lecturer at the university of exit medical school. thanks for coming on the program today. indian health
12:26 pm
officials are saying the original delta is the dominant and stronger variance. so is this delta plus? is it worth panic? do you think? no, we always have a cautious approach to variance, variance will always arise. and in fact, the emergence of variance is a clear signal to the rest of the world, especially to the richer nations that unless and until you allow and support poor countries to suppress infections, we will keep on getting bearings. so we are where we are, and what we've got to do is suppress said wherever it occurs. so as you say, viruses mutate, this is what they do to propagate and extend their lives. and there are countless strains out there as they continue to mutate. the thing is when people hear a new variant with it, with a scary name, is it possibly causing unnecessary alarm? dr. yes, i think so, and we've got to get our clear messaging, right?
12:27 pm
which is that the natural biology of viruses is that they replicate. and when they replicate, they make mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes are advantages to the virus. and that advantages mistake becomes the new delta virus, for example, and then it takes hold and it spreads across the globe. so talking about the go to virus, what's good, what's bad about it? what's good is that it is not more disease causing. what's also good is that it's not bypassing the current vaccines. what's bad about it is it is more infectious. therefore, you need few wireless particles to get infected. so if your infection control is not good, you will get infected. if you are in covered places, not wearing your muscle properly, you will get infected. now doctor, you are in the u. k, and i've just been reading on line that are top n h s official. mr. chris hopson is saying that people will need annual coverage
12:28 pm
shots every year for the next 10 years. can you think of any past epidemic, or pandemic? this require people to have a shot every year for the next 10 years. well, no, but let me expand on this. personally, i would say that as the pandemic has been going on for over a year, now, there is clear evidence that immunity lasts beyond one year. to either people who were naturally infected. therefore, i would say that on the basis of the immunity lasting beyond the year, i don't see the need to give booster doses. on the other hand, i would say, save your energies and fully immunize the population. and then with your spare energy, how countries like brazil in your previous report and india and africa to at least get going with the immunization. so i would much rather hold back on boost says,
12:29 pm
and go forward on immunizing the rest of the world. because that, as we've seen today, talk to in the u. k, that was, it was supposed to be freedom day today. now we've got tens of thousands of people in london protesting against the, basically a perpetual state of locked down as we were just saying, the n h. s official. chris hopson saying that people might need to have a shot every single year for the next 10 years. i guess some might ask, is it about the welfare of humanity or the welfare of big pharmaceutical companies? i personally would like to end that line by saying, i don't think we need annual boosters because the evidence is you are immune immune beyond the year. why do you want to keep on immunizing? considering the rest of the world has not been immunized at all. and the line is very, very clear that if you do not suppress infections in india, africa, brazil,
12:30 pm
etc, you will get variance. and unfortunately, one of these variants may bypass vaccines and put us back to square one or a very, and that is more severe disease causing in all age groups and younger age groups, etc. so that's where our energies should be immunized, immunize the world. i talked about up antonia senior clinical at the university of exit medical school. we appreciate it. thank you for your time. thank you and thank you for your time as well. i appreciate you joining us for the monday program. my colleague a union o'neill is here in half an hour's time with more of your stories. ah, ah, ah ah, ah.
