[000:00:00;00] the who's with ours, a top headline. so, and he's an optional disturbing revelation by ball gary was health minister as he admitted covey vaccination failures have crossed the country almost 10000 lives as russian isolated the tokyo olympics. keep knocking gold. it's left the western media and athletes increasingly seeing read a question. the teams are writing to be that the chemical waste, contaminated soil and talk the commission was the environmental specialist outline for us the potential dangers of this weeks. deadly lost in germany for mechanical point of view, it is really possible to imagine a huge catastrophe. and we know that the inhabitants did not know what they might

be exposed to. also in the program for you, the un comes under attack and the latest round of violence in afghanistan on its headquarters. they're attacked by what are being called anti government elements with one security guard confirmed ahh . 8 o'clock on friday night here at moscow in a very warm welcome to you from all of us here. the new team has been lining up your top stores for this our research areas, health minister has admitted that the multiple failures in tackling cove it in the country has had disastrous consequences. and a startling revelation. he said, nearly 10000 lives could have been saved if the election campaign had been organized properly. bulgaria is sacrificing the older generation. we immunized mainly young and active people for 5 months. and the most vulnerable

groups were abandoned for out of 5 covered deaths and bulgaria have been among the elderly. the government claims 10000 lives could have been saved, had the previous administration acted a bit differently. but how exactly? well, 1st off by not prioritizing the cheaper astrazeneca vaccine, the last government decided not to order any of the other 3 jobs approved by the you. and as a result, when oxford astrazeneca experienced furious delays in shipments while guerria became one of the least vaccinated countries at the time even lagging behind other stragglers like romanian lafayette all the while continuing to experience a surge in cases. and that's, but the other issue that caused unnecessary death was that the vaccines that the country did get for some reason didn't 1st go to the people who actually needed

them the most. we did not give parity to people over 60 and people with serious illnesses that were placed in the false category after social workers, employees in mink farms and others at this point. but gary are remains one of the least vaccinated countries in europe with less than 20 percent of the population having received at least one dose. the new government is desperately trying to remedy the situation. but it seems, there are still a lot of hurdles for them to overcome. vaccine skepticism is still high among bulgarians, especially after reports of astrazeneca being linked to rare health complications. the country's poor health infrastructure is also hampering efforts to get vaccines to the population effectively. and the threat of a new wave of infections, courtesy of the delta variance of the corona virus, now looms very large over the country, which in response has extended its coven emergency status until the end of august.

meanwhile, in germany, whether it's been a more successful vaccine rollout, the question now is whether that should mean more freedoms. for those immunized and politicians are deeply divides on the matter. europe correspondent has been looking at how this issue has been hemorrhaging society. now that more than half of the german population have been fully vaccinated against coven, 19 the debate amongst politicians has moved on to whether the vaccination should entitle people to move freedoms. the president of the bond, the stag, things that should, i do not see any constitutional issues for differentiating between those who have been tested on the one hand and those who have recovered or been vaccinated on the other. since the risk of vaccination is extremely low, according to current data, not everyone is convinced of the constitutional fairness of such a device of move though. the german justice minister doesn't think it's right to split society down the lines of the vaccine and the vaccine not should stick to the principle that those who have been vaccinated recovered or have

a negative covered test should retain all their freedoms. the justice minister is against mandatory vaccination, but those believe that everybody who can get a job should get one. the result was in german politics slow who think that the governments and politicians should have no sake and who gets the vaccination at all . it's not the role of the state to eliminate all risks to live. this encroachment would be on constitutional and would clearly contradict the fundamental idea of freedom and our basic law. those who support freedom passes. say people that have have the job shouldn't be held back by those that haven't, but they still a healthy sized opposition against forcing anyone to take a vaccination walk in the state imposed on the individual. my red line is my body by decided on that last that the last word is up to me. the state must not exceed that with an election just 8 weeks away. and some potentially very tricky coalition talks on the horizon, right, so the vaccinated could well end up being

a stumbling block to the formation of the next government. peter, all of her all t in cologne, germany. russian athletes are continuing their impressive metal, a hole at the tokyo games, reaching double figures in gold medals this friday. it doesn't mean the russian olympic committee team now sits forth in the table. however, you would be hard pressed to find many saluting the success earlier. my colleague, you know, neil discussed the story with ortiz saskia taylor. well the olympics should be a huge celebration and the athletes all discipline from all over the world coming together at one event showcasing the skills. unfortunately, for russian athletes competing out this, he has turkey games just hasn't been the case. they might be scooping up towards the russian that the committee will already see. does carney rank stud in total metal, but the atmosphere has been so hostile? it's been filled with suspicion, criticism, and very little good sportsmanship,

both from the global media and of course inside of competitors. for example, u. s. ryan murphy, who lost to a russian, took a veiled swipe by saying that he probably, that it probably wasn't a teen race. a comment that he later tracked on, but by dan a british swim, i'd also come out and couldn't help. may could dig about state sponsor doping out for the russian who beat them. he said my gold medal is the combination of nothing but life from dedication. yes, doubles the sport. i have always stood for nothing but clean competition. i have always been tested and i always go out to my documents. i've devoted my entire life to the sport and i would never be able to forgive myself if i use some doping. so i don't even know how to react to mobile, how well both those comments might not seem direct to the any one particular asking or country. others very openly was quite frankly, the epitome of a soul lose one us row, for example, said that russians shouldn't even be the seen, the crew who shouldn't even be here. walk away with the silver is

a nasty feeling really disappointing overall. and i feel for the other f as in the, a final now tell me might be furious that she's not taking her out when that she was banking on her belief that russians don't have a right to be there. of course just doesn't reflect reality. how much she wants it to. the truth is, russian athletes are allowed to compete. but under certain strict conditions are the result of an ongoing reduced number of historic clean, clean russian athletes are allowed to compete as mutual meaning that they've been stripped of them. the flag out, of course, the country's name hadn't r c and not russia. but despite this, despite that commitment to the very rules that the international olympic committee has set up, and despite the fact that they are the most tested, one of the most tested delegations that they are still daily faced with this wave of bitterness and malice. yeah, new and fair comments, direct or otherwise, as you're saying indirectly the last number of they're including the swimmers. what's the media? how to say? well, unfortunately,

the hostility towards the r a c team is really tenfold in western media. some of the headlines are actually pretty shocking. many of them fairly can disguise that discuss the russians, have been allowed to learn that the actually winning metals, beautiful music. and although window dressing such as calling itself the russian limbic committee to suggest an appearance of neutrality cannot mask the stench of corruption and appeasement. the eye sees entire plan completely backfired. it certainly didn't keep the russians out, and it certainly didn't shame russia were putting, has used the band to pump up nationalistic pride. and that was us, gymnast simone biles had to pull out the media with disappointment, worried about, well, that's paid the way for the russians, which is exactly, of course what happened was they deserved. so one way hoping that the media will kind of take a step back and just objectively report on the ongoing offence on the trying on the losses of those lempke as well. unfortunately, we've been disappointed. i suggest there's

a little bit of back story to this as well, right. what of course, i think most people are why, but this is all the fall out from the uncovering of thought and that you do p scheme amongst fresh enough. he's back in 2014 washer was bound before he has many major international sporting events, and that will delay to reduce to 2 years. no, russian officials did come out. they admitted mistakes had been made in the antidote program, but they also did claim that the band was politically motivated. but the truth is, is that is the past that have been repercussions for that. what's happening now in tokyo was essentially the demonized ation of hundreds of proven clean athletes who are playing by the rules down to a t. you're also getting tested repeatedly in the last number of winter and summer . exactly. they are, they are the 3rd, have to team off on us and china. so it's real beautification by those athletes by the media and not have to say really as a credit to those are the athletes that despite all of this that they've managed to

block out all that noise and still keep mounting when it's podium. so the cursing will only just a full and on the tokyo games and around a week's time before it opens again on the power olympics and team r. o c's final preparations are well underway. a john list and a parallel power athlete, or dmitri ignite of went along to get a taste of one of the toughest disciplines that of power type. quando. hi everyone . me watching a diary about the preparations for the upcoming paralympics in tokyo, which will kick off students. and today we're at the pero minova sports center. he used to train people without any disability, but now you have a whole army of power athletes. what's that like that very cool. ah ah ah,

i read about you why was literally crying. it's something unimaginable. your mother left you when you were born and later your adopted right? yes. i was in the 5th grade when i was bullied to go with my backpack. i said to her, what are you doing? i'll tell my mother and she replied, you don't have a real mom. you are adopted. it was painful to hear that. but then i made up my mind and decided to be strong. there is only one, pardon and pick combat sport. many people have no concepts of how disabled people can fight, but they can do it here. they fight with protect it as much as possible. yes, there are people who got enormous fortitude, there are people who have nothing to lose. they still have to find a job, they struggle their entire life. that's why they throw themselves in sports. people normally retire from taekwondo the age of 30, but disabled people sometimes go on until they're 40. i don't think the top harlem pins are disabled because they could easily take on any one.

the school have a mouth guard and helmet with a face show. we also have handed growing protection, as well as an electronic chest protector, leg pads, and electronic footwear. for the tell us more about the electronics. what did they do? is it like in fencing where it lights up when someone hits you? yes, we have an electronic chest protector with sense of the need, as well as an extra socks with 12 senses. you get points if you hit the sensor, so you can receive even more points. if yolanda spinning kick, i was the when a determined by the number of points. so the number of points is equal to the number of blows, the more points you get, the higher your place. yes, each tried last 2 minutes. now 3 rounds with one minute break. taekwondo is rapid for, it's not only about fighting, it's about. thank you. everyone has reached such a high level to get to the lim,

things that you can't just fight. you have to think about what your opponent is doing. so it's a bit like playing chess. yes, you should be quicker than your opponent dog. she's blows through so explosion that a chemical plot and level cues in germany left, 5 people dead to remain missing. and now locals in the area are coming across pieces of chemical waste formed from so that was created by the smoke released to the incident. the authorities say there are grounds, however, for optimism. yeah, it's my say again, you must say, i want to emphasize some welcome news for the residence of labor crews, and that's even the ross particles that were inspected showed norm, normal levels of de ox in p k w, p. c. b. the green pays says me, sounding the alarm saying, hazardous elements may have filled infiltrated parts of the environment. the situation is very difficult from a chemical point of view. it is really possible to imagine

a huge catastrophe. we have found for the incineration of hazardous waste. that is precisely those substances that, for obvious, reasons, should not enter the environment. they're collected and burned. and it is such a plant that has no stuff. it's an explosion. it was these substances which should not be in the environment that reacted with each other, burned up and spread in these clouds of gases throughout the region. and we know that the inhabitants did not know what they might be exposed to for well than $5000.00 chemicals are made at the site, including nitrogen compounds which is used for making explosives. a contaminated hazardous waste is also handled there as well. and this was the scene on tuesday of pollution levels are currently being monitored off the black clouds below from the side for almost 4 hours off to the blast. a local to remain in a state of shock. after what happened i didn't go out yesterday. we weren't supposed to, but i must say that today i felt like a small cigarette. it's still really smells here today. it did in our apartment this morning as well. i don't know whether it's dangerous or not, but i'm

a bit scared. we have grandchildren, we often go to the playground with and we probably won't do it over the next few days because we don't know yet how the brain has been affected by the smoke. if they're saying we shouldn't eat fruits of food or anything from our garden, then there must be something wrong. and i just hope it's not real. serious. the site is one of the largest chemical parks in europe, employing 30000 workers. the time of the blast locals were told to stay away and stay inside and closed the windows. and the greenpeace export, we spoke to the police people and not being told enough about the possible dangers . uncertainty to rain, people wrote to me asking whether they can go out in the gardens and whether we will take more samples and this worries me. most of all the people remain in the dogs, and this is not only the fault of the enterprise. after all, the main problem is that no one knows what substances have reacted and what actually happened. and here the main question arises,

isn't even acceptable to place this as it were, a powder keg near large settlements. united nations says its headquarters in western afghan nathan have been attacked with rocket propelled grenades and gunfire. one, god is confound killed and several others injured. no, un personnel have been heard the area and the compound has seen fighting between government forces and the taliban. at the headquarter attackers, though, so far, so far, being described as are only anti government forces. the us already said it will hold those responsible to account this attack against the united nations is deplorable, and we condemn it in the strongest terms our 1st towards her with the family of the office of slain. and we wish a speedy recovery to those injured commerce. i was asking the forces managed to rest by control of a key northern district. from the taliban of the treaty, the retreating militants, i should say, have been leaving behind a trail of deliberate destruction. despite this afghan forces victory,

the taliban has been largely on the rise. the terrorist group taken more territory in the last 2 months than in the last 2 decades. now has a dominant presence in the north, northeast on central provinces, and it's closing in on key cities including couldn't do. it's an kandahar and you report her ledgers. the us back to collective of musicians and the artist is sewing seeds of descent in cuba. an effort to destabilize its government. the group in question is called the sun a seed movement comprises of cuban wrappers, musicians, artists, and journalists. the u. s. has allegedly spent millions of dollars on them to gain sway among cuba. marginalized young and movement members have spoken out in support of american sanctions, a former president, trump, and even military intervention in cuba. and earlier we spoke to the author of the investigation editor in chief of the greys on mike's blumenthal. what amazed me

aside from the fact that the wall street journal in rolling stone have credited this group of artists and performers with providing in their words, the catalyst for the day of protests we saw in cuba. was that the national endowment for democracy in arm of the u. s. government. that bank role is regime change operations abroad actually laid out in explicit strategy in 2009 to weaponized marginalized and di, socialized youth. and that very same year, usa id, another arm of the u. s. government, which is an intelligence front in many cases, began approaching to anti government hip hop wrappers in cuba. promoting them and even creating social media platforms to promote their anti government lyrics. and this is a program that has continued today and culminated with the rise of the senate seizure movement and this anthem pottery evita, which has become the slogan of these anti government anti communist cuban protests

. on friday, the u. s. government agency closed as $2000000.00 funding program to any new applicants. and the goal of the project was to bring about social change in cuba and support young people, women, l, g, b, t groups, artists, and individuals of afro cuban descent. but while the us to finance its cultural programs in cuba, the island remains under severe economic sanctions. acute has been on the us embargo now for more than half a century since $962.00. some estimates per cubic economic losses from that at around $150000000000.00. it was also the biggest obstacle to buy medicine and equipment during the pandemic. this year, the un general assembly voted overwhelmingly against the embargo saying it violates human rights. this month. cuba source largest protest in decades, people were demanding more freedom and a better response to the pandemic. he was president accused washington of inciting the mass demonstrations for the us. it says it was

a stable country. max blumenthal again, claims the americans are meddling more than ever in cuba in effect, while there's nothing there, there's nothing surprising about this except the, at the intense interest in the you among the u. s. intelligence fronts like usa id now run by samantha power in weaponized in a group that will soon become the demographic majority in cuba, which has suffered enormously under the blockade. and that's afro cubans. and they spell this out explicitly in their documents. and that's why hip hop is becoming a vehicle that the u. s. likes to use it budgeted $110000.00 for a here part n g o in columbia to go and train hip hop artists in cuba to become quote unquote, democratic leaders. and so what we see is the u. s. actually exploiting and trying

to create racial divisions in cuban society. in fact, doing what many liberals and democrats in the united states accused russia of doing with no evidence with black lives matter. that's actually the operational program in cuba right now. in order to paint this state that has been racially progressive, which is given asylum to black, american dissidence, which fought apartheid south africa to paint it as racially regressive, and even structurally racist discrimination and sucking. these are at the center of a slew of new lawsuits in america taking aim at the so called critical race theory . the subject looks at society from the perspective of a systemic racism. and its teaching in schools has been a matter of heated debate at the head of the legal for representing the plaintiff's praise what he called bet bravery. our clients are bravely confronting critical race theory, inspired bullying,

indoctrination and retaliation which is not training or persuasion. in 2 of the cases of the complainants say they lost jobs for opposing critical race theory. and a 3rd brought by parents. it's argue that alternative viewpoints are being excluded from schools. but while racial studies and schools are proving divisive and higher education, inclusivity seems to be winning the day. and you study of $65.00 universities found that are on average, they had most off dedicated to ensuring equity and diversity than a history professors themselves. let's get more of this study now. caleb mop and joining us live on the program. caleb so i could email is apparently more interested in diversity than history these days. well that's the numbers we're getting from the heritage foundation, which is a conservative think tank in the united states. their new report sites, the large prevalence of what are referred to as di,

i or diversity equality and inclusion staff. and many universities have have more of them than they have history professors. there's roughly $45.00 such staff at universities in the united states. that's 4 times there's more than disability services staff, only 2 thirds. as many history professors are hired in many instances as their r d. i staff, for example, georgia tech has 43 d i. teachers, compared to only 13 history teachers. you have louisville university of louisville, kentucky and they've got 50 d, i, professors, and only 17 historians now. you add into this that around the country. there are many students who are saying they are dissatisfied with the political climate on the campus. 72 percent of students at the university of michigan so that they are dissatisfied. 55 percent of under represented minority graduate students also say that they are dissatisfied. here's what the heritage foundation said after

presenting this data. this research suggests that large diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucracies appeared to make little positive contribution to campus climate. rather than being an effective tool for welcoming students from different backgrounds. diversity equity inclusion personnel may be better understood at a signal of adherence to ideological political, an activist goals. now this comes amid an uproar across the united states about the teaching of critical race theory, not just in universities, but in high schools and, and around the country to students to children. 8 states have actually banned the teaching of critical race theory. there have been a number of law suits. there have been parents speaking up, you know, viral videos of parents getting up and complaining at school boards across the country. this critical race theory, which is being taught in us schools is quite controversial. and this,

this anger that we're seeing this divide between conservatives who oppose it, and liberals who seem to be more open to it. it comes at the same time as this heritage foundation report about the prevalence of the staff at u. s. university's . i caleb, thanks for that. the more details on ok lives report right there online at r t dot com. in the meantime in about half an hour, we are back with more of your writing worldwide. mm me and i make no borders under my number please. as emerge, we don't have authority, we go to the back world needs to take action and to be ready,

people are judge, you know, come crisis, we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in our own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenges for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are together in the

ah, me in the wake of the 2nd high level meeting, where does the fraught china us relationship stand? the 1st meeting in anchorage alaska was an embarrassing failure for secretary of state, blinking at the 2nd meeting. the chinese presented the americans with a set of demand. it would seem to stay just set for real negotiation and not just the app through this in any way can it's 2027 new 20 every

new. the new one in 2027. sarah takes care of everything fully, pigeon. just because you will get that daniel denise on t joker when sarah is a virtual assistant, who knows exactly what's best for you about this question. the image in the was it to me? it's not just wanted to swap additional penalty process everywhere you go. artificial intelligence like sarah predicts your needs and does the work for you. ah, usually. busy you do with all of these machines working for you?

is life wonderful in 2027. ah, but let's not get carried away. before sarah changes your life forever, there's another story to tell. one with less special effects. this story takes place behind the scenes of those businesses who are working to invent our future. for now, it's hardly this wonderful world where machines are working entirely for mankind. in fact, you could say it's exactly the opposite. humans are involved in every step of the process when you're using anything online. but we're sold as this miracle of automation. google, facebook, amazon. these digital giants are using a completely invisible workforce to keep their applications running with
