ah ah, this ours headline story, the efficacy of pfizer cobra vaccine bold by nearly a 3rd is according to a new is really studying. the findings come in the face of the rapidly spreading delta variance of the virus around the world. and the growing issue of by seen hesitancy, tightening the grip over at tech joy and india essays. twitter is no longer immune from responsibility over a user generated content. the vertical coming 2 weeks after the texas supreme court, they almost the same ruling about facebook and also we

just truly an m p. 's urge washington to withdraw its extra edition appeal to the u . k. the drop all charges against julian. we hear from one of the news live for moscow. this is our team, my names unit o'neill, on 30 minutes of news and views sort of the efficacy of the fines or cobra job has dropped by nearly a 3rd. now it's according to a new study by the is really help ministry. the findings come amid the rapid spread, both in the country and globally over the delta variant of the virus 1st detected in india. the vaccine is still said to be efficient and preventing serious illness . we discussed the issue with the head of the vaccination program of the television medical center. we have data which shows even if the immunity of doses of defy

their job, even if the unit is waning, winging very, very, very slowly. it is possible at some point, everybody will need another dose. obviously, we're worried about the drop. the delta vary and has already been studied in britain and elsewhere in the final vaccine has been found to be less effective against it, but not as less effective as seen in our preliminary data. we will have to watch it closely as the data unfold. meanwhile, europe is increasingly struggling with i've seen hesitancy in the german capital wall. in 5 vaccination appointments has been cancelled or postponed in recent weeks . according to the german red cross, which has suggested a 30 year old fine for those feeling to show up for a shot in an interview to our team ahead of the organizations berlin branch brandon

vaccine ups and t. is them a selfish in our experience every day, 5 to 10 percent of those who have appointments do not attend in the arena bell and area alone around 3000 people vaccinated every day. while the rest of the centers around 15000 vaccinations take place every day of those 3000 every day, 150 total people do not attend. that is quite a lot if you consider the amount of effort that goes into this 1st, this is not fair to those who would like to make an appointment for the vaccination . we cannot do this due to the lack of free time slows. and secondly, a complete waste of our resources vaccine pharmacists and doctors. therefore, i'm calling for those who do not attend their appointments about counseling them to be given a find for absenteeism. on the on the u. s. has been facing the same issue to with more than one and 10 due for their 2nd shot, skipping their appointments. that is,

according to federal health authority data kellum open can pick up the story. almost 15000000 americans. that's how many have missed their 2nd vaccine dose. that's according to a warning from the centers for disease control and prevention. a key and often cited reason it's rather disturbing is that many people believe one dose is enough for protection. now the timeframe for that 2nd dose changes and differs according to the jab it 3 weeks for 50 bio and tack and 4 weeks for mcdermott. regardless, those numbers are alarmingly high. it was just 8 percent missing. their 2nd shot earlier in the year. stop. officials warn that's simply not enough. when you look at the level of protection, if the one dos you can say it's 80 percent, but it is somewhat of a tenuous 80 percent and that comes as the far more deadly delta variance spreads. something that doctor found, she has already called the greatest threat to us, attempts to eliminate coded 19. now we've got new studies showing that the vaccines

are less effective against that strain. this leaves many holding their breath, wondering if the expectation that vaccines would solve this crisis with a bit premature failed mop and r t new york was calling to send health workers door to door to persuade americans of their jobs. after figures showed he missed his independence. they goal of having 70 percent of the country vaccinated by a number 8000000 people. you can read more in the markets, dot com. the power of social media giants has long been seen us on table, but increasingly efforts are underway to rein them in. now our court in new delhi has ruled twitter will no longer be immune from responsibility for content generated by users. in india, it comes less than 2 weeks after the highest court in texas said facebook can be

held accountable for its platform being used for sex trafficking or senior corresponded. murat garcia has been looking at what all that means for relations between nations and big tech. whatever our views and online freedoms on censorship, i do the fact that take johns have run wild boston blew it drunk with power and high and mind boggling revenues. they began to see themselves as king makers, virtual cyber gods, to rule the net, to decide who gets to talk. and what about and increasingly states around the world, the saying i now off and in flood escalation of the risks between the indian government and what the center has told. deli high court is social media, john to speak to comply with in this new id room. so said that if the company's failed to follow the rules there, intermediary status can be ended, and they may be subject to criminal action. the court of it is twitter,

which got away with blocking the then president of the us has decided to engage in a battle of wills with india. for example, according to india's new i t rules. so users must be warned if their account is about to be ban. what is twitter do temporarily bands the countries technology minister without warning, or another rule. so india doesn't want content that causes religious enmity. so they asked tweet to remove a picture of a hindu goddess in lute positions posted by use called atheist republic. twitter has taken no steps to remove such content, but an a blatant violation of indian laws has been acting as an accomplice to the crime. and showing such blasphemous and insulting content. these spiteful little acts they go on and all twitter, for example, posting a map of india with entire disputed province is removed from indian sovereignty. so here's the technical part, right,

twitter and facebook and all they get away with this by arguing that they are not responsible for what uses post. because that 3 speech, they're just platforms for free speech. obviously that is highly debatable tech johns, have no problem. cedric, not only people, but in ta, political movements, but more than that, it isn't true because they make money off of it. but for example, running ads for child sex trafficking. plaintiffs was 14 years old in 2017. had traffickers used instagram to advertise plaintiff as prostitute, andrew arrange dates as a result, plaintiff was raised numerous times. a for when plaintiffs rescue from the traffic in scheme traffickers continue to use your profile to attempt to interrupt other minors in the same manner. plaintiff's mother reported this activity to facebook which have respond it. that is from an ongoing law suit in texas, which we reported on numerous victims, assuming facebook for not only ignoring,

but facilitating child sets, trafficking by writing, child grooming ads, making money off of it. the take away is the book never responded. they see themselves these take chances above nations and borders laws and customs above elected officials and representative governments. i mean, what the heck is in the go in to do band twitter, unthinkable. until recently, indian companies be pharma. i t or others that go to do business and united states of america or in other foreign countries voluntarily follow the local laws. then why are platforms like twitter showing reluctance and following indian laws designed to give voice to the victims of abuse and misuse? at the end of the day, what is happening in india is going to set a global precedent. every foreign mission is waiting to see how these end i, the india, will persevere, force big take to acknowledge that, that they aren't great to the nations and peoples. that there are rules and that

they have to follow them or, and he will fold compromise. and as such, recognize the yes, big tech is a digital superpower answerable to a new one and above common law and custom. what is happening is that these big tech social media giants are disregarding all local sensibilities and sensitivities. the have a liberal universal values agenda and they will also taken very parties on positions on very sensitive matters in india on major political development. so i think the public as well as the government are quite upset with the way these social media joins are, are manipulating, or trying to manipulate public opinion. there's no consistency in what they're doing. their content. moderation is very,

very flawed and biased and they are resorting to a kind of like a hit money in the social media sphere because they are larger numbers of users. so i think it's very important that they should be disciplined, or else there is likely to be more gales and more violence and public disorder. and i think in a big complex society like india, they should act more responsibly to another over a headline story to day as truly an m p. 's are urging president biden to drop the u. s. government extradition appeal to the u. k. launched against the wiki leaks co founder julian the such the strategy and citizens want julie at us on to be free is treatment violates for convention against torture. and it's persecution threatens journalists worldwide. we drop the

well, that comes as julian, his son celebrated his birthday for the 3rd year in a row inside a maximum security prison in the u. k. he faces a 175 years in prison in america, which want some extra data from the u. k on charges of hiking and espionage in 2019 son was forcibly removed by british police from the ecuadorian embassy in london. after quito terminated his 7 year asylum there. in january, a british judge then ruled against that moved over fears about his mental health, the u. s immediately lodged an appeal, i spoke to australian n p. george christenson, who was among those who fell in the video in support of their fellow countrymen. a lot of paperwork viewing behind the assange campaign. feeling this is just something that the trump administration was, was doing well,

it actually wasn't the trump administration that was doing it. of course, we know now that don't trump consider issuing a pardon to join assigns for someone that wouldn't. that was going after him. you wouldn't be thinking about issuing a pardon. so this is something that the u. s. department of justice is showing and there. that's why nothing as simple as simply dropped with the change of regimes in the us or administrations in the us. you know, so my, spain swept to the side bar on the mainstream media and you even have some journalist to die that still protest at calling him a journalist will are going to say that job without any sort of opinion that's added to it. he's just giving the raw data to the people and i think he should be applauded for that. or pink floyd co funder roger waters, a long time supporter of julie le sounds told r t the media has been cowed into silence and it's reporting of the case. i was at

a street protest last february and we march from the australian embassy to parliament square. and we made fun speeches. and we made all the points that we've all made again and again and again and again. the government took absolutely no notice. has it got through to to a large section of the public? yeah. has. are there many decent people in the general population? yes, they're all. have they now heard the story? yes, they have what they terribly moved and tainted by the smear campaign against julia . early days where he was labeled massage and they just didn't write based and that there's some that the other and how he used to wipe is pcs with the cat and spread it over the door. and i'm always would complete lies spread by mainstream media.

that should know better, and where are the journalists, should he's in the streets demonstrating, day and night and to lead call a gives release, know where to be. see. unfortunately, the mainstream media is cowed by the ruling process by the power back by the government. all those of us who care about human rights and who actually care about free to men who actually, ah, against the murder of civilians and against torture. and all of those things find it very difficult him face of the mainstream major that keeps. it's every mouth shut. so step call judy in assange is, is knight in shining armor. this is the man who almost single handedly has started the movement that might save the world. we are strong and we're not going away. and we will not go away. and we will stand shoulder to shoulder until june, and the sound is free because until judy and a sanchez pray,

none of us ship free. we can all be locked up in a heart beat and left incarceration. so she is 1611 am here in moscow. still ahead in the program. discord in the 3 week old is really governmental, contentious law, preventing palestinians married to his release from getting is really citizenship is not renewed. going against the wishes of prime minister ballot or not after spring. oh, i joined me every thursday and the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guests in the world. the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me the media a reflection of reality in

a world transformed what will make you feel safer? type relation or community you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? which direction? what is truth? what is faith in the world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths. will remain in the shallows. ah ah, ah ah,

logan. it is only 3 weeks since the new is really government was finally formed, but it's already running into difficulties. it's failed to extend a contentious law which bars palestinians murray to his release from getting is really solution ship on prime minister enough. totally bennett has been blaming other parties for his problems and forms the times of the opposition to exhaust us with a 1000 exercises infringe. and that it is okay that democracy and we know how to do both of them. but there are points when even in the opposition national responsibility must be shown. the security of the country is the red line. the much held in unity health in its new coalition had failed, added the very 1st attempt, the government vote to stop that kind of spins merry to ladies, getting citizenship. funk split white down the middle, 594, and 59 against. as 5 members of the ruling coalition immediately broke

rank. and that's despite bennett early a warning that this was an important vote of confidence in his new government. so what went wrong? however, the votes in favor of the legislation is expressing confidence in the government. whoever votes against it is expressing no confidence in the government. the citizenship and internal was initially passed in 2003 at the time of the 2nd palestinian uprising following militant attacks in israel. since then, it has repeatedly received a parliamentary majority that it needed to be approved until now. even the party of the opposition needed benjamin netanyahu could, that has repeatedly supported the law voted against it. critics charge that this is a case of politics over principles. we've received proof of the problematic nature of a government that doesn't have a distinct design. this majority, israel needs

a functioning design, is government, not a mishmash that depends on rom and merits votes. this is a fight the. the stakes are extremely high, right? the stakes are, who is going to govern the state of israel. and i think what the good is trying to do now is to get a hold of power and then the out by opposing this law plays a risky game and the risky and the risk that he, the calculated risk that he took, is probably saying that despite the fact that ideologically, they're not wide in favor of opposing the law are actually quite the opposite. undermining the government, undermining the coalition would be even more appealing with their borders. the a pocket coalition is a hodgepodge of left wing, interest and parties. cutting alongside been its alternation that not surprisingly, they were really struggling to speak with one voice. we asked people on the street what they made of the sailed vote, and also where we are there. i think there is

a different it alone makes it difficult for someone to get israeli citizenship. it's difficult. it's not easy. there are 2 different sides. there is one country, palestine, and this is another country, israel and we arabs or something different. it's difficult for everyone. the real reason is strictly to avoid and to if you'd like, create an issue with the current government, hoping that somehow they will manage to display after such an embarrassing failure at the 1st hurdle. questions when inevitably growth as to whether or not the fragile lock will be able to function when it becomes the latest is really coalition to forward policy i r t. jeff, let's bring you to southern russia where 4 people have been killed after

devastating floods hit the crust door region this week. the area has faced a deluge of rain since sunday, with many homes left flooded. while more than a 100 people had to be rescued elia patricia filed us this report. the me we have just reached the location which became the at the center of the entire disaster in russia south. just by looking at this booth, you can imagine what was happening here. the closer you get to the sea side, the lower the lands get, the more damage you witness. so let's take this painful and dangerous walk. the

flash floods hit this town overnight and it seemed the people were completely unprepared. now we'll show you some of the most typical damage. so you can see over here for example, full and or outright destroyed fences. this place right here used to be a bustling cafe and other a typical damage element, right. their cars turned around after being turned over and the kern, people say they don't even know where it came from, but that that's all the water is flowing. and course the floating car is barrels gas cylinders, everything was floating. we were just watching. i'm telling you now and have good bumps to you and if it is within 50 minutes, everything was flooded. nothing could be saved at all. you know, now this scar. i can show you what happens with the inside of the vehicle after it was stuck in mud and water for a couple of hours. now, what is this if not apocalyptic theme? this used to be a restaurant inside a hotel, now completely empty,

submerged in water. there's no way i can call the whole day makers lucky at all. they're shocked, but at least they're walking in clean clothes, and like those who are trying to save their businesses, complete, slee covered in mud. we have finally reached the sea side. this used to be a beach with cafes, loungers and so on. now as you can see, clearly most of the devry ended up on the beach and, and the see waters. and nobody's even daring to guess how long it will take to clean all this mess up. saudi arabia's deputy defense minister was in washington on tuesday. the visit comes and months after a us intelligence report linked his brother crime, prince mohammed, ben, selma, to the killing of journalist jamal cash. charging the white house said the issue could be raised during the talks. during the meeting, fell discuss the long sending partnership between the united states and saudi

arabia, regional security, and the u. s. commitment to help study ravia defended territory the horrific death of jamal. surely, of course, this could be a topic, but i'm not going to discuss additional details. in october 2018, washington post columnist jamal could show and she was killed and dismembered inside saudi arabia as consulate in turkey. after initially denying that control and she was killed, saudi officials blamed a rogue elements within the kingdom, security services, and sentence, the number of officials to death, or wherever. during his presidential campaign, joe biden promised some tough action against a soda crime. prince could show he was in fact, murdered and dismembered and i believe in the order of the crown prince would make it very clear. we were not going to in fact, sell more weapons to them. we were going to in fact, to make them pay the price and make, and in fact, the pariah that they are. we discuss the visit with ali archman who is director of

the institute for gulf firs. he thinks biden's administration is not as worried about human rights as the claims. this is the very much the same playbook that the by the administration has been using since he took office, it would say it would sing humor i tunes, but it will dance with, with those who commit crimes against the people, including the saudi. we must know that the holiday been so fun, the brother of them b. s. his, him self involved in the murder of jermel hush, watching. he is the one who convince jamal casualty not to get his papers in washington, but to go to turkey to do it. so he is involved and he helped lower your mom to turkey to the saudi embassy, then to be killed and dismembered. so this is

a very clear cut case to me and we will not do anything about it. they are out of pressing humorous cases that the saudi government can be pressured to, to handle, to, to resolve. but the, by the end, the station in fact, and the reality has not taken even the time to learn about them. they have proven just another administration with who are not serious about human rights over those people. you know, over there. the fur has literally been flying in the russian military with an a leak unit of military dogs, both through its paces and partially drill. take a look at this. it's a special harness. the dogs are in. it was developed by the russian firm tech, no dynamics. it allows the level to be safely attached to the part trooper before jumping from the aircraft. the per can then partially done directly into

battlefields. it's designed to carry dogs weighing up to $45.00 kilos on the teams and are working on breathing apparatus for the dogs, so that the jumps can be carried out. even higher of to choose plenty to give you some polls 1st thought there are and the german shepherds like this if they enjoyed it. well, that's how our mid week news roll up is looking for. now i'll be back with all your updates this wednesday, are some more great programs getting started in moments to stick me the we're used to hearing, he will lead messaging about the importance of values. not everyone in the block agrees. in fact, a growing number of conservative and populous forces are speaking out against what
