me the international in the headlines this evening from moscow, the caribbean nation of haiti imposes marshal law for 15 days after the shock, assassination of a precedent in his home at leading scientific journal and the u. k. colds rushes, looking at job safe and effective, stressing the lack of severe side effects, such as the legend, blood clots linked to other vaccine or through the program we hear from a german red cross member who is raising be over a growing number of those, skipping their appointments for a 2nd corona virus injection, that's a cobit hesitancy. trend. continue to spread all around the world. ah,
5:01 pm
well, it's just after midnight here at moscow. welcome to the program here on our t international unruly sushi. we do start this out with a developing story and do by which was rocked by a loud blast on wednesday night. emergency services all tackling a blaze on a container ship docked at the cities job bell alley port. local authorities have set. the fire is now under control. there are reportedly no casualties, as always, are not into national. we'll bring you more information on the story as soon as we get it. for the meantime, the president of haiti hope and l voice has been assassinated at his residence by a group of armed attackers. the country's 1st lady was also short, an injured and hospitalized. she's been lifted now to miami for treatment. now what we can show you here is unverified video that allegedly captures the very moment when the attackers storm the presidential compound at night. the presidential office has insinuated that the his job was orchestrated with the help of foreign
5:02 pm
mercenaries following the assassination, the haitian military establish nationwide martial law. this will stay in effect until the 22nd of july, and the army is also patrolling the roads to ensure compliance of the country's borders of also being closed. and here's this report now from our correspondent caleb martin. 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. 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 wounds. we condemn this 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
5:03 pm
joe biden, and earlier we heard from jen saki, the white house spokesperson. here's what she had to say on the situation. the message to the people of haiti is this the tragic tragedy. it's a harris, a 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. it's important to note that the biden administration hasn't been exactly unified and clear on its position regarding the country. there's been ongoing unrest in haiti, many people taking to the streets, demanding that this priest. this president stepped 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 us 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 by new ministration,
5:04 pm
wanted biden to back the opposition to the president that was recently killed. 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 1094. if haiti, the 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. many are bracing for the aftermath of these events, anticipating unrest in the country. migration is certainly an issue. it's very important to many people in the united states. there are many concerns and fears that unrest in haiti could lead to more migrants fleeing to the united states. what exactly happens next is not clear, the military is on the streets, and the country is bracing for what could be even more unrest. morty, being a module this morning,
5:05 pm
we'll work up to this terrible news. despite the fact that the president was supported by many fellow citizens, nevertheless, what happened came out of the blue and it's thrown us into a kind of chaos. we're concerned about what's going to happen tomorrow. people are discussing this on every street corner. the opposition is now holding negotiations within its ranks because there is no option to replace them due to the current legislation. this is an unheard of situation. we don't have a president and we don't have an opportunity to pick a new one. the only way to settle this is to conduct talks between all political sides where we spoke to a brooklyn based editor and haiti liberal say he already has suspicions about the assassination in which players could theoretically be involved. 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
5:06 pm
operation which had been clearly planned for some time. and had a lot of money behind it. so we're likely to see an upsurge and uptick of haitian 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 put in 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 that an
5:07 pm
electoral coup d'etat. so washington is very interested in haiti, of chairs the island with the dominican republic. it is a neighbor of cuba right across the windward passage. so geo, strategically, it's very important at leading a british scientific journal has published an article that says there is quote, mounting evidence that russia sputnik v vaccine is quote, safe and effective the jobs currently in use in almost 70 countries worldwide. earlier, my colleague niel harvey got more details from our correspondent constantino raj golf 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 scrutiny covey, the vaccine is safe and effective. and so in the article, they basically sum of all the latest information that has brought them to this
5:08 pm
positive conclusion. student 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 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 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 spoofing li 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 a proper mean response. and i still have
5:09 pm
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 the side effects are becoming clearer. cities so far suggested they're similar to those of other ad bars vaccines with the notable exception of 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 certainly vaccine. among them, there will be some people who would like to travel, say, to europe. now that would become a much easy thing to do. if sputnik had been approved by say, the w h o or by the european medicines agency. is there any suggestion in this article why that has not happened yet? we know that the european medicine agency and the world health organization haven't given the green light to support the yet. and the officials claim that they still
5:10 pm
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. were scrutiny 3 is being manufactured and the flag concerns over one of those sites and the russian side says that they have already fixed the problem. but there are also concerns that food may lose its potency over time, and that even a vaccinated person needs a booster shot. and there are scrutiny light a one day 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 still
5:11 pm
has a long way to go even without approval from the m a and the w tro. there are countries that importing and distributing the russian jobs, i'm talking about european countries like hungry and san marino. now, austria and cyprus, they do accept russian tourists who have screwed nick we without asking them to provide a negative p. c r test. so all in all, we're seeing that as need be gradually expanding its reach, gaining recognition, but the same time there are obstacles that still need to be overcome and will probably this article will speed this up or the efficacy of the fines. cobra job has dropped by nearly a 3rd that's according to a new study by the israeli health ministry. the findings come amid the rapids spread both in the country and globally of the delta variant. first detected in india. the vaccine is still set to be efficient in preventing serious illnesses. now, as of now,
5:12 pm
the 5 of by on tech job has been approved for food or emergency use and more than 100 countries, including the u, the u. s. in canada. it also received emergency validation from the w h o. at the end of last year. earlier we discussed the vaccines, the efficacy issues with the head of the vaccination program. at the televi medical center. we have data which shows even if the immunity of doses of defy their job, even if the unit is waning, it 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. so we will have to watch it locally as, as the data unfolds. the full vaccination with pfizer requires to injections,
5:13 pm
like most of the current cobra jobs, but a growing vaccine hesitancy trends. i've seen people refusing to get a 2nd dose in the german capital, for example, one in 5 vaccination appointments has been cancelled or postponed in recent weeks. that's according to the german red cross who has suggested a 30 year old fine for those failing to shop for a shot. at the head of the organizations berlin brown, she 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 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,
5:14 pm
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. my on, according to the world health organization, the delta strain will dominate all other variance globally in the coming months. it was 1st detected in india and october last year. and since spread to more than $100.00 countries, a dozens of countries are implementing new restrictions and travel bounds to stop the spread. and we spoke to dr. joy deep grover and a and e consultant about the dangers of covered mutations is by far the most common experience now to contain it. late is next to impossible. there will be new addition. we don't know where they will come from. they could come from any part of the world so far, all the mutations are still sensitive to vaccine. at least look at the extent. but,
5:15 pm
you know, you never know, you might get the mutation which escapes because unless everyone is vaccinated, you're able to control the spread of the widest. why? no one is actually safe. i suspect good, good pick many years for us to get used to it, find the best vaccinations prevention strategies to make. we keep spreading to be able to pay for that seems to all humanity possibly out here in moscow. 6 months after the us last, it's bit to have julian assange extradited. a u. k. cool, has now given washington the green light to appeal. so we got a reaction from the publisher's partner, stella morris. i was able to speak to julian now about the decision and you know, it's mixed because on the one hand it's been 6 months and we haven't had any news.
5:16 pm
so it's like an endless purgatory. but at the same time it doesn't here. and julian, very well, 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 gets off, but he's been you know, bowman, prison is a horrible place. he won his case in january. why is even in prison? why is even being prosecuted? there is no legal case against him. all there is, is an indictment based on life. julian assange faith is a 175 years in prison and america, which once him expedited from britain on charges of hacking and espionage. in january, a british judge ruled against his extradition of affairs of his mental health. in 2019 s, orange was forcibly removed by police from ecuador, and embassy in london. after quito terminated his 7 year asylum with the editor in
5:17 pm
chief and friend of assange, christian samson says he's outraged by the sheer length of the whole process was a great disappointment for julian phones and for all of those that this is continuing . one would hope that the united kingdom courts would 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. is outrages this decision comes only a week after it is revealed that the indictment li as to the does not have a leg to stand on. the key which says retracted to testimony and says basically the
5:18 pm
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 it and they're still continuing on this track. this appeal is an attempt to pro long the inevitable. inevitable is the freedom of julia. 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 it will be coming soon. meanwhile, australian m. p. 's are urging president biden to drop the u. s. government extradition appeal. the strategy and citizens want juliet us on to be
5:19 pm
free is treatment violates for convention against torture and its persecution threatens journalists worldwide when it comes to lina san celebrated his birthday for the 3rd straight year inside a maximum security prison in the u. k. a lot of his support has poured onto the streets of new york and london over the weekend and lawsuits, 50th birthday and dom on his relations australia. an mp george christianson was among those who filmed the video and support of a fellow countryman, a lot of people were viewing who 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
5:20 pm
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, it's almost pain swept to the side by a lot of the mainstream media. and you even have some journalists to die that 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 to come here on the program on our teeth tightening the grip over the tech giant, india says twitter is no longer immune from responsibility over a user generated content. but then the mixed of your stories still come in. just
5:21 pm
join me every thursday on the alex, silent show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me this is your media a reflection of reality? the in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation, whole community. are you going the right way or are you being somewhere? direct? what is true? what is faith?
5:22 pm
in a world corrupted, you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah, good to have you with us for the program here. when i see the power of social media giants is long been seen as unpaid mobile, but increasingly efforts are underway to try and wrap them in. and now the government in new delhi has stated that twitter will no longer be immune from responsibility for content generated by users in india does come less than 2 weeks off the highest court in texas said facebook can be held accountable over its platform being used for sex trafficking, it would be if it's been looking at what this old means for the future relationship between countries and big tech,
5:23 pm
whatever our views and online freedoms on censorship, i do the fact that tech johns have run wild boston blew it drunk with power and high own 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 risk between the indian government and what the center has told. deli, high court and 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 tibbets 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
5:24 pm
about to be ban. what does 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 with it to remove a picture of a hindu goddess in lieu 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 an odd twitter, for example, posting a map of india with entire disputed problems is removed from indian sovereignty. so here's the technical part, right, twitter and facebook, and all they get away with it is by arguing that they are not responsible for what uses post. because that free speech, they are just platforms for free speech. obviously that is highly debatable. tech
5:25 pm
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. plaintiff was 14 years old in 2017, had traffickers used instagram to advertise plaintive as prostitute and to arrange dates. as a result, plaintiff was raved numerous times for when plaintiffs rescue from the traffic in scheme traffickers continue to use your profile to attempt to entrap other miners. 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 said trafficking by writing child grooming at making money off of it. the takeaway is, the book never responded. they see themselves these take chances above nations and
5:26 pm
borders laws and customs above elected officials and representative governments. i mean, what the heck is in the go in to do ban twitter, unthinkable. until recently, indian companies be pharma. i t or others that go to do business in the united states of america or in other foreign countries. voluntarily follow the local laws . that wire 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 n i, the india will persevere, force big take to acknowledge that, that they are greater than nations and peoples. that there are rules and that they have to follow them, nor, indeed will fold compromise. and as such, recognize the yes. big tech is a digital superpower answerable to
5:27 pm
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 flock and biased, and they are resorting to a kind of like a hit money in the social media sphere because they are large numbers of users. so
5:28 pm
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. western powers, all rounding on iran. it's off the tariff announced watson reaching uranium for research purposes. iran has no credible civilian need for uranium metal research and development and production, which are a key step in the development of a nuclear weapon. with its latest steps, iran is threatening a successful outcome to the vienna talks, despite the progress achieved in 6 rounds of negotiations. to date, it is worrying that iran is choosing to continue to escalate its non performance of it's tracy p. o, a commitments, especially with experiments that how the value for nuclear weapons research.
5:29 pm
it's another unfortunate step backwards for iran continue to urge ron to stop this brinkman ship. the span comes and made efforts between iran and 5 world powers to revive a nuclear agreement. this aims at stopping to iran developing nukes, it's something it denies trying to do. under the deal, iran kept it's nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. it almost collapsed off the donald trump took the us out of it a few years back. us sanctions were reactivated and terran then reportedly violated some of the terms. and we spoke to psych mohammed mirandi from the terror on university what the americans and the trump were trying to do was to get more than what was agreed upon in the nuclear deal. biden, and his supporters criticized from when he did this. but then when they came to power, they pursued big exact same policy,
5:30 pm
a trump as we expected in iran. so ultimately, the only way forward is for the europeans and americans recognize that they cannot get confessions from iran by killing ordinary iranians through barbaric sanction. iran has an agreement with western government. and if western governments think that the iranian nuclear program should be contained or that its scope should be limited, then they should go and implement the deal is all enough. and also the fir has literally been flying. and the russian military with an elite selection of military dogs put through their paces and a power of shoot drill. i will look at the special harnesses strapped through developed by the russian tech. no dynamics allows.
