12:01 pm
good evening to thanks for joining us here on the international. the president of haiti, giovano mo e has been assassinated at his residence by a group of on the tank is the country's 1st lady was also shot and injured and has since reportedly also died in hospital. what you can see here is unverified video that allegedly captures the very moment the attack is storm. the presidential residence at night following the assassination the haitian military, establish nationwide marshal law st. serenity with army patrols, stopping any vehicles to check documents. we're bringing you the latest pictures from our video agency, which will be bringing to you right now. this was the scene not too long ago on the streets of haiti with r t. the only as we are aware, international news agency covering events 1st and they're on the ground. let's gelato correspondence caleb morbidity in the,
12:02 pm
across the story for us. do we know at this point? kelly, what is the situation in the country now following this assassination? while the prime minister of haiti is calling for call and at this point we understand, marshall law has been declared. the military is out on the streets. everyone is bracing for widespread on rest. take a listen. we didn't identify the group. they spoke spanish or english. they attacked the residence of the president of the republic, the president to come to his room. we condemn the barbaric attack. i call for calm of the population. the situation of the country is already under control. now the white house has condemned the killing. there is now an official statement from joe biden, and earlier we heard from jen saki, the white house spokesperson. here's what she had to say on the situation. the
12:03 pm
message to the people of haiti is this is a tragic tragedy. it's a hereford crime. and we're so sorry for the loss that they're all suffering and going through, as many of them are walking up this morning and hearing this news. and we stand ready and stand by them to provide any assistance that's needed. now it's important to note that the biden administration hasn't been exactly unified and clear on its position regarding the country. there has been ongoing unrest in haiti, many people taking to the streets, demanding that this priest, this present step down. in addition to that, many in the streets, blaming the united states for the economic situation, the country for the suffering blaming, you know, the history of u. s. military interventions, as well as the trade deals and economic policies. so there's been ongoing unrest in the country, and the biden administration has been divided. some in the biden administration wanted biden to back the opposition to the president that was recently killed.
12:04 pm
however, the biden administration at seemed to be fully backing the president at the time that he was killed. now, it's important to note that biden has a history of being rather insensitive when it comes to comments about haiti. this is something he said back in 1994. if haiti, good, awful thing to save haiti just quietly sunk into the caribbean or rose up 300 feet . it would matter a whole lot in terms of our interest. now it's important to note that immigration is an ongoing issue in the united states. many are concerned about the inflow of migrants and if unrest escalates in haiti as many anticipated will that could exacerbate that problem. many americans are looking on the situation in haiti and wondering if this will result in more haitians fleeing the country. so all eyes are really on haiti at this point,
12:05 pm
not just in the united states, but around the world. wondering what the fall out will be. the president and his wife are dead and unrest may soon sweep the country. people are very, very concerned about what the future will be. there's been ongoing unrest in haiti and now we have a very, very, very dramatic event. some and kelly berm open reporting live from new york there with the latest scale of thank you. well, the suspect so brooklyn based editor haiti, liberty, who shared with his his fees on the role of the u. s. in the future, the region this operation, there were 9 brand new nissan patrol. pickup trucks involved, they clearly were very sophisticated. they knew the layout of the president's home, they knew where to go. apparently they had inside information. so this was an operation which had been clearly planned for some time and had a lot of money behind it. so were likely to see an upsurge and uptick of haitian
12:06 pm
refugees leaving the country. and the u. s. is going to say that this is a threat to international stability, etc, etc. and they may, they may try yet another military or military occupation of haiti, which will be the 4th. this would be something that i think would be poor and gasoline on the fire. patients are very proud would be very upset to have their sovereignty trampled once again. washington has been the king maker if you will, in haiti, and in the case of a job now my weeds and his predecessor michelle marcelli, they had a big hand in having them elected into office. many haitians call it an electoral coup d'etat. so washington is very interested in haiti at chairs the island with the dominican republic. it is a neighbor of cuba right across the windward passage. so geo, strategically,
12:07 pm
it's very important. a leading british scientific journalist published an article that says, as mounting evidence, rushes, splitting the vaccine is safe and effective. the jobs currently use in almost 70 countries worldwide. more details for montes constantino's cough major is a weekly scientific journal based in the u. k. it is considered to be the world's most prestigious, well read and quoted. and it has published a story in depth story. and specifically with a title, quote, mounting evidence adjust the coven vaccine is safe and effective. and so in the article, they basically sum of all the latest information that has brought them to these positive conclusion. students has been approved in nearly 70 nations, including brazil, argentina, the philippines are hungry and for instance, in india they are going to produce at least 185-0000 doses of specifically for domestic use. and they wouldn't have gone for this if they hadn't been sure about
12:08 pm
it. safety right? there is data coming from the russian researchers, but then there is data coming from all those nations that are importing and distributing the vaccine. and it also shows that food nuclear safe and it's working, the united arab emirates have conducted their own study that showed 97.8 percent of figures. see argentina's, health care officials claim that even one dose of food think we gives antibodies to a person in 78.6 percent of cases. and this is, by the way we're, i have personal experience. i didn't have antibodies after the 1st shot, but after the 2nd one, that's when my body produced the proper mean response. and i still have a significant amount of antibodies even 8 months after the inoculation. but let's get back to the article and see what they say. about the possible side effects of the vaccine. splitting side effects are becoming clearer. cities so far suggested
12:09 pm
they are similar to those of other ad bars vaccines with the notable except red blood clotting conditions. unlike for both the oxford astrazeneca and johnson and johnson vaccines, there been no reports of these disorders from russian health authorities, or from the other nations using sputnik be. millions of people already taken the splitting the vaccine. among them, there will be some people who would like to travel, say, to europe, and that would become a much easy thing to do. if sputnik had been approved by se, the w a show or by the european medicines agency. is there any suggestion in this article? why that does not happen yet? we know that the european medicine agency and the world health organization haven't given a green light to picnic the yet and the officials claim, but they still have reservations, for instance, over the quality of surveillance of the possible rear effective specifically. and we also know that the w h o inspectors have visited 9 sites across russia where scrutiny be, is being manufactured and the flag concerns over one of those sites. and the
12:10 pm
russian side says that they have already fixed the problem. but there are also concerns that student may lose its potency over time, and that even a vaccinated person needs a booster shot. and there is no light, a one days version of the same vaccine that is being already rolled out in moscow and other major cities. exactly. for this, but as the russian producers claim there are a lot of red tape in the m a. and that they have to jump through a lot of hoops in order to get their vaccine registered properly. and they've never done this before. they do make mistakes, they admit this and even typing errors. so that shows you that the student is still has a long way to go, even without approval from the m a and the w tro. there are countries, stat importing and distributing the russian jobs. i'm talking about european countries like hungry and san marino. now, austria in cyprus, they do accept russian tourists who have food. nick,
12:11 pm
we without asking them to provide a negative p. c r test. so all in all, we're seeing that, asked brittany, be gradually expanding its reach, gaining recognition, but the same time there are obstacles that still need to be overcome. and what probably this article will speed this up. advocacy of the pfizer covey jump is dropped by nearly a 3rd according to use the divide, these early health ministry. the findings come amid the rapids spread both in the country anglo believe the delta, very into the virus 1st detected in india. the vaccine is still said to be efficient in preventing serious illness. as of now, the fires of building take job has been approved for full or emergency is more than a 100 countries across the globe, including the u, the u. s. and canada. it also received emergency validation from the w h o. at the end of last year, we discussed the vaccines efficacy issue with the head of the vaccination program. the television medical center,
12:12 pm
we have data which shows even if the immunity of doses of defy the job, even if the immunity is waning, is winning 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. so we will have to watch it closely as the data unfolds of the full vaccination. we find the required 2 shots, like most current codes of jobs, but a growing vaccine hesitancy. try to see people refusing to get the 2nd dose. for example, in the german capital, one in 5 fascination employment has been cancelled the post bone in recent weeks, according to the german red cross who have suggested a 30 year old fine for those who fail to turn up for the shots. the head of the organizations berlin,
12:13 pm
bryan says vaccine absenteeism is selfish. in our experience, every day, 5 to 10 percent of those who have appointments do not attend in the arena bell in area alone, around 3000 people have vaccinated every day. while the rest of the centers around $15000.00 vaccinations take place every day of those $3000.00 every day, $150.00 to 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, but cannot do this due to the lack of free time slots. and secondly, it's complete waste of all resources, vaccine, pharmacists and daughters. therefore, i'm calling for those who do not attend their appointments about canceling them to be given a fine for absenteeism on. now according to the world health organization, the delta strain will dominate all other variance globally incoming months. it was detected in india in october of last year. and this is spread to more than
12:14 pm
a 100 countries. dozens of countries are implementing new restrictions and travel bonds to stop the spread spring. and dr. barton county, a senior clinical lecture at the university of xterm medical school. very good evening to dr. just been talking there about the delta variance it's, it's been getting all the headlines in the media. is there still a belief that this strength can be contained? this variant of course we will contain it. i mean, the good news is that it isn't more severe disease causing, and we've noticed that it is slightly less effective against the current vaccines. the good, the bad thing about it is it is more infectious. but if we continue with our immunization as well as infection control measures, of course we can get on top of it, but we need to work together. we need to immunize in other parts of the world. do.
12:15 pm
this might not be at all true. so please correct me, learn the hearing very early on in the whole coven situation that, that actually diseases tend to mutate and become less deadly with time. is there any truth to that? how afraid should we be of new mutations? no, it can go in either direction. so one day a time will come when a replacement to the delta emerges, which is a lot less disease causing a lot less of concern to us. but the dominant one, it will use up the delta variant and become the dominant one, but not cause disease, not cause any harm. and that day will be a good day. but on the other hand, where you can also arise in the other direction, which are more disease causing younger age group and any other permutations we can think of. so it can go in either direction. but i am looking forward to the day when it goes into the innocuous direction and stays that i was thinking of the
12:16 pm
situation we have say with the smart phones, computers, where we're used to updating our software to get it to the very latest level. will it be something similar with getting vaccinations that we'll, we'll be having the latest top up, so to speak, to, to get as, you know, secured against the latest variance, all without a doubt, without a doubt. and you're absolutely on the right lines to use the analogy of software update. so what we would do is we would find, for example, the dominant strains, the dominant variant and, and if it is the delta variant, we would code in the m r. and we would code to code for the spike proteins on the delta variance and then use that as the new booster vaccines. so with regard to reformulating, or as you say, software update off the, the vaccines that is an easy task to do, the harder task is then bottling it and sending it to different parts of the world
12:17 pm
to put it into people's arms. to this pandemic ever and or do we just learn to live with it? we do, but it will and mark my words, of course it will end. none of this is for ever. so what happens is, eventually all the worst is what they want to do is they want to survive without killing it's, it's patient or the person it has infected it, eventually it will peter up, it just takes time. and in the meantime, we also learn how to best live with it. and the best way to live with it is to getting the nice. but more importantly, also now is to enable other countries to allow their population to also get immune i, we do it together because if we are just going to be selfish and immunized the rich european nation, the united states, then them wary and will keep on rising and the few then become endemic and it
12:18 pm
becomes what is the, what in the animal population and then make in the animal population. then you have created a problem where you will keep on getting recurrences, introduce from the animal population into the human population. and then you get an outbreak, you're based in the u. k. doctor, where restrictions are set to be lifted anytime in the next few weeks. as i understand that the number of new cases is actually on, on the rise. how do you feel about then, you know, reducing restrictions? is it a good time to do this? no, i'm very concerned. i'm very concerned because whilst a large proportion of our population is now fully immunized, we still have the younger population not immunized. and we have arising number of cases. i know that the link between cases and hospitalizations is sort of weakening and may be broken what is may be. so of course i'm concerned and i'm concerned with
12:19 pm
that sudden release of no restrictions. i don't want young people to be infected because they can also go on, having recovered from their infection to have long coded and long cove. it costs money to, to, to treat and manage. and if you can treat it, if you can manage it, how you feel about the current situation with the way the government is dealing with, with things because it does seem rather inconsistent. we've heard of people saying they couldn't attend a wedding with all family members that you know every of the seat had to be in the church. busy and yet at the same time, using tens of thousands of football fans allowed into stadiums, which as i understand is some kind of controlled experiment. do you think that's the right way to go about things? and indeed as much being learned from such experiments. while i hope things are being learned, and i think we will, we will know in time what the learning was. and i do feel very sympathetic for
12:20 pm
people who had to have all those seats empty for their wedding, special days and funerals and not being able to see their elderly grandparents in nursing homes. it doesn't make sense. in fact, what will then happen is if they can go to the football match and have a good party like you appear to be having one, i'm going to also break all the rules and i'm not going to follow my infection control advice. so i remain concerned that people will become disillusioned, disenfranchised that you. on the 19th of july, i wish to suddenly switch off all infection control measures. the virus isn't going away on holiday. is it possible? because we've seen it before. bars, jones and loves a good you turn. he might come to regret this, is it, can he, you turn again if things get worse after reducing restrictions. well, you see the heartache for me will be a, you turn equals,
12:21 pm
a lot of people have been suffering. and many will, may have died, so it will be a heartache that we told you soul and now you're having to do it. so i hope we never get to having to make a u turn. but if you carry on like this, you may need to, you turn the saving grace, which prime minister johnson is relying on is that the vaccines have saved the day . so if the vaccines have saved the day, hopefully we want neither. you turn, dr. broadband connie's, my guest senior clinical lecture at the university of x does medical so real pleasure to get your inside. thank you. thank you until the news. now 6 months after the non to say lost its bit. julian songs extradited the u. k. course given washington the greenlight to appeal, we go reaction from the publisher's partner, stella morris. i was able to speak to julian now about the decision and, you know,
12:22 pm
it's mixed because on the one hand it's been 6 months and we haven't had any news. so it's like an endless purgatory, but at the same time it doesn't here. and julian's very unwell he's happy when, when he i went with our eldest this morning. and so it's not representative when i see him because obviously it's a, it's a one rest fight. he get off, but even belmont prison is a horrible place. he won his case in january. why is he even in prison? why is he even being prosecuted? there is no legal case against him. all. there is an indictment based on life. julie, the social is 175 years in prison in america. america wants him extradited from britain on charges of hacking and espionage in 20. 19 assault was forcibly removed by police from the equity embassy in london, the key to terminated his 7 year asylum. in january,
12:23 pm
a british judge ruled against that move the fears about his mental health, which makes editor in chief and friend of a son's kristin harass and says he's outraged by the sheer length of the entire process. well, it's a great disappointment for julian sounds, and for all of us that this is continuing, one would hope that the united kingdom courts would to recognize how ridiculous this case is and not to grant the appeal. this means that this will drag on for some time for a prisoner to have to wait in a prison cell for 6 months for half a year, just to get a decision of whether the appeal is allowed to to his opponents or not, if rages this decision comes on the week of the it is revealed that the indictment against sudan does not have
12:24 pm
a leg to stand on. the key which says retracted to testimony and says basically that testament, which was cited by the business judge numerous times as truthful allegation doesn't hold true. it is a fabrication and the americans now know if they're still continuing on this track . this appeal is an attempt to pro long the inevitable. inevitable is the freedom of julian. if he does not get his freedom, it is such a load to our society and what we believe in that it is almost amount to turning off the light. so this must come to an end, and i can fence in my bones that is, will be coming soon. in the meantime, australia and pays, urging president biden, to drop the us government's extradition. the pale lodged against the wicked legs co
12:25 pm
founder, the strategy and citizens want julie at us on to be free. his treatment violates the convention against torture and its persecution threatens journalists worldwide comes, as julian assault, celebrated his birthday for the 3rd straight year. inside a maximum security prison in the u. k. lots of support is poured onto the streets of new york and london over the weekend market fifty's birthday and to demand a song. his release australia and george christiansen was among those who filmed the video in support of the fellow countrymen. a lot of people were viewing who are behind the signs campaigned viewing. this is just something that the trump administration was, was doing well. it actually wasn't. the trump administration that was dying, and of course, we know that donald trump considered issuing
12:26 pm
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 their that's why nothing is simple as simply dropped with the change of regimes in the us or administrations in the us. you know, it's almost pain swept to the side by a lot of the mainstream media. and you even have some journalist tonight still protest at calling him a journalist. will are going to say that julian assigns is form of journalism. is probably the most pure it comes with any spin. with that, 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. and finally, the sound, the fir has literally been flying, and the russian military and elite selection of military dogs have been put through the paces in a parachute drill. let's have
12:27 pm
a look the special harness that strapped into that was developed by a russian 1st tech new dynamics which allows dogs of up to $45.00 kilos to be safely attached to a paratrooper. and then they jump out of an aircraft. compare, shoot down directly into the bathroom field. so far, tests have been carried out from a height of 13000 feet, but breathing operators is being developed for the dog. so the jumps could be made even higher. and that as they say is that it brings right up to day. appreciate your company this evening on our team . do join us for updates and my colleague 30 minutes. me the join me every 1st day on the alex summon show and i'll be speaking to guess on the

12:29 pm
but this time the government is turning over their dirty work to a 3rd party bench, one in line or joined us to discuss the new extreme stratification system. being implemented by your favorite social media platforms and attract star shop carry richardson suspension from the us olympic team for failing a drug test, had drawn a bi partisan outrage, however, is the anger justified and directed at the right place. we will discuss this with steve chris tockets from the rti sports h q. and it's the 1st day of the gathering of the world's most influential in film technology, design and sport in idaho. but you can bet they will be discussing arts and crafts or singing songs around the camp buyer. we will bring you the details of what has been termed the billionaire summer camp. i'm getting a huge and a you were watching this edition of a news views. right here on our to america. ah,
