my, in my name is the 7 o'clock moscow time and headlines this wednesday, the e, you know, accept the digital code. 19 certificates from submarine, who's populations almost fully vaccinated with this. put the vaccine very same brush and job is still a waiting approval from the blog. medical agency. washington says it's concerned this morning about reports of an oil tanker being hijacked off the coast of the united arab emirates. while some british media are already pointing the finger with iran becomes days after a deadly drone attack on another tanker in the ranger. on to moscow not debate rages over how effective wearing a medical mosque is in controlling the spread of corona virus. sweden drop the requirement before recording 0 new cobra cases. while the u. s. though says it is

crucial to wear one panel a guess discuss the conflicting recommendations. they told us to wear the mask, then we won't have locked down to now we're doing lockdown. it's one of the risk reduction nation. we need help with the behavior ah other very good morning from russia this wednesday, the 4th of august, watching out international movie. kevin is breaking news in this one to start. we mentioned it last, but more details coming through. now we're going to people have been killed this morning and a major crush in the czech republic, with 2 trains collided near a town around a 150 kilometers west of prague firefighters say 38 have been injured, including 7 in critical condition, according to check railways one of the trains as an international high speed service to germany, the other apparently a local passenger train police report in the helicopters,

abroad in to the scene to help the injured that as we get more will let you know how to use recognize cove. it nation certificates issued by san marino, a tiny country where the majority of those vaccinated have received russia's v. that means the vaccinated citizens can therefore travel freely within the e u. the digital health passes would be equally valid as those for pfizer or other jobs approved by the use. medical regulates, are already splitting the v, though, has not yet been cleared, and the people inoculated in. for example, russia can't travel to the e. u without a p c r test summary now could legally import the job because it's not a member of the european union as he's done a quarter joined south taylor. but to explain this latest development. while what it does mean basically is that the european union has split a significant demographic of its citizens into 2 groups. those people who have been vaccinated with sport v and can travel freely. and those people who have been

vaccinated with support and agree and cannot travel freely. i mean, it all comes down to these coven certificates that allow for unrestricted movement between you states. now, sam, marino certificates are valid in the e. u and that's a, that's a country that has 90 percent of its population vaccinated with sputnik v. we have had these certificates for several weeks now. europe has had them since yesterday. the signature of the commission chairman ursula fonder lion under the document is dated july 30th. thus, they recognize that the technical characteristics of our certificate correspond to european once this decision is of a technical nature. it does not imply recognition of specific v. it is about a digital signature, our green pass with a q r code is now readable in european apps. so basically, anyone who got the student, the shot in san marino is now considered vaccinated in the wild. those who got it anywhere else in the world. literally are considered unvaccinated or potentially

ill. why hits that? does that mean? is it because russia sending higher quality? sputnik v sharp to send marino or something obviously not in there, but also does up. i mean, why does that you still refuse to, to approve the russian shot? it seems like that you want to get the protection offered by the student, the vaccine where it can, while at the same time, curbing its larger acceptance throughout the continent. i mean, the european medicines agency has been dragging its feet on, like, you know, validating disputing the shot or not validating it for months now. and in the meantime, over $65.00 countries around the world have already given the russian shot the green light, including some european countries that just didn't want to wait for brussels approval. that includes hungry and slovakia, including san marino. and people for you know, hungry in slovakia now can't travel freely between e u countries while others from san marino can at the same time, it seems like there's potentially a bureaucratic problem on the horizon. i mean,

we just also saw reports that the italian authorities are refusing these colbert, 1900 certificates to people from san marino, who got the student to be shot. so it's not clear how this is going to be implemented. it seems like there's just a lot of confusion and that this is a contradiction in the law right now. gary, revolt or international relations expert and former m p. as his own view on the commission's decision. it's not favorable, it is not a matter of what offices i'm afraid that mainly in brussel is a measure of politics. because you see italy, it cannot that rover. if an e n a is not the but the fact sees that the n a use a de la paying approval for release on that, that nobody knows. maybe you know what you need to be. nobody knows why e n a is not a probing that this would be the tension. people that went to san marino for

gaining the sport niga already months ago. not all right now to receive the green bus. it is really ridiculous because it is a no and that the sport is at least the valley the as the other of assigning at least if not more truck in this this morning to the u. s. as is deeply concerned, that reports of an oil tanker being hijacked off the coast to the 90 there. whether it's little clarity on the case. some in the west are already fleming, a ran to run for its part denies and involvement, condemning those accusations as propaganda. that was not the last, from the case maritime authority said that the hijackers have left the vessel. but again, details still unclear his polar slayer, what we doing from the u. k. maritime authority that a potential hijack has occurred on a, sold off the coast of the united arab emirates. now they saying that the

information they had suggest that between 809 people boarded the tanka, we are hearing from me, which is foreign office that they are investigating this matter. but this has not stopped which media from already pointing fingers as iran at the same time. also in the same area. there are 4 other tang 2 that have been reporting that they are not under command. in other words, they are not in control of themselves. they can't maneuver now, it's not clear exactly what's happening in this incident. and it's also not clear whether the 2 are connected. all of this comes just days off and he's really managed tanka was hit by a drone off the coast of oman. now in that particular incident, she crew men were killed and the u. k. office has been very quick to blame. you read. we have heard from the british prime minister barak johnson saying that there will be consequences for iran because of that attack. i think that the iran should

face up to the consequences of what they've done except that the attribution that the foreign secretary has made not your role and the united states backing the united kingdom in blaming iran. but the thing is that nobody has any conclusive proof as to whether one office has happened. what we are hearing is that these countries will work together on ways to respond to, to read. we've also heard in the last few hours on these really side that tomorrow at a meeting of the united nations security general, they will be providing what they say is evident. the united nations secretary general spokesperson, however, has said that there is no conclusive evidence. and they said no definitive information in terms of who was responsible for that attach. iran has also said that it is not involved, it has a piece of several times. and it is also warned that if it's any kind of wasted

attack, it will retaliate. so all of this searching making the region more chance than it was just a short time ago. yeah. and that was something echoed by habit massage to professor political science at the university to ron. he told us that his ation to that evidence could lead to an escalation between iran and the west. inches are very high right now. so throwing accusations without any evidence might actually lead to an escalation on never that it's an open secret that you on, in israel have been engaged in a sort of like a shadow war in the past few years. and lately, in the past few months, the 2 sides have been attacking each other ships. but they don't think any sides at the moment want war never of the future will really depend on whether you will be able to each nuclear deal with the united states. history has shown us that the re, these are actually very clever in sabotaging uranian negotiations with the

americans. so. busy if, if in fact these re, these are behind the red flag opperation, then i think that will sound the situation and it might lead to a breakdown of the negotiations. now if the negotiations actually break down that i think that would really escalate the tension between iran in israel in the region. it's exactly one in a sense, a devastating chemical blast and by a root the claim, the lives of more than $200.00. it's believed to be one of the largest non nuclear explosions in history. here is again, you may find it distressing. the dish. human rights group, mr. international content. now liberties officials, foot shamelessly obstruct things, have put an investigation into the black, 111, his oldest hospital to what he's saying. here was devastated by that explosion as

well. there one died for the same time, one person was born to the very minute of one year on the baby's report to be doing well. we spoke to a nurse on the maternity unit they told us at the time, panic wasn't an option. there was simply too much to do then i was calling my mother to tell her about my day and the last time i do remember my cleaning alone. feeling very bad that i did not know if i was okay to be able to be kid and didn't have an idea what had what has happened? so i, when i told my husband i was able to cite, actually i supposed to be the one to be where, where are they are they are okay. this is what they would up and

see when they would. and then we just went to bed. i had gone because i had the same way i could, i could not go into panic mode. i had to be able to be in the basement, giving me breathing and they read that and they had to keep going. and they fun to be able to be i have the baby in the go, they doing very well that way. and i went to the bed and every day they send me pictures and they send me everything they how they, how they the thing. so are they doing? they were interested in sweden as mark the last few days with 0 new covey cases. a no more than one death per day over the last 3 weeks, despite the country dropping the mandatory wearing of masks on july the 1st. and

while fears grow about the new, highly contagious del to variance around the world, sweden's chief epidemiologist, the less argues that more data is needed before the move is made against any new strains. it is difficult to say how contagious delta is asked when it comes to chicken pox. we have been able to follow that disease for several years. the effectiveness of delta seems to be very uneven. in some cases, one person effects a 100 people. then we have other occasions we're an effective person does not affect anyone at all of the european countries on the us or however skeptical about that approach on i'm intending restrictions because of the search and this spread of the delta strain just last week, american centers for disease control and prevention more than that, there is an urgent need. they said for both those unvaccinated and crucially vaccinated to wear masks. guest debated the conflict and guidelines tweeted, didn't do any mask ban dates and there's a lot of literature out there that shows that mass don't work. so if the w h wants

to let us believe in mass that i would like to see the data that shows that makes a big difference. wearing a mask, reduce the risk of transmitting by 20 percent since she and even a one find for unity. in fact, yes, we should overall reduce the transmission of the virus on my prevent sponsored, the other risk addiction measures that they told us get back soon as we get off the mass. well, we ever got vaccinated and we're still, we're in a mass. so i'm not really sure with respect to that because they told us to wear the mask and then we won't have locked downs. and now we're doing locked downs, meaning no school or things like that. a lot of countries now are, you know, protesting germany had tremendous protests, australia had to protest, france and tremendous protests. so, you know, we got to bring the people on cuz it's all about public health. it's selfish not to enter a mask when you should be whatever i'm asking when there's a chance to actually infect somebody else. we need to present powerful images and

the actual voices of doors. we need to protect their mobile phone, their balls, and the message should be boxing and protect others. what has happened with the buyers? it's already gone to the community. and those people who survived, which is the majority, now have antibodies and have heard immunity. it's one of the risk reduction measures. we need to several help protect the behaviors, wash our hands, where mosque gives social decency and the old use the percentage risk. the question is how could be persuade people who now see mosque wearing as a belief choice. the single biggest influence across all reasons for wearing a face mask abuse would be the law coming up more controversies running covert to stick a run can going to tell you about it in the midst of the global pandemic still far from over. nonetheless, us fama jones fight maternal decide. it's a good time for

a price hike for coven vaccines in europe. what you think about that when we look at the implications, gotta guess, talk about it to pull off this break. ah, join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me this is your media a reflection of reality the in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? relation for community you getting the right way,

where are you being somewhere? direct? what is truth? what is in the world corrupted. you need to this end. ah. so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah the ah ah, i good morning, this is art international. my name is kevin o in. so as we said before, the break, the american pharmaceutical jives pfizer mcdonough, reportedly taking a controversial step by hiking the prices for cobra vaccines in the e. u. while member states still struggle with the pandemic, it comes, his health passes became mandatory for visiting enclosed public spaces. in several

states in the block, the financial times and reporting that a shot of madrid is fox, who needs to go up by 2 euros and fighters by 4 phases, raising its annual learning for cause to mean time up a $1000000000.00 to $33500000000.00, the company also plans it says to provide $500000000.00 doses to the us so it can dispense them to some of the world's poorest countries. 5 from the commissioner, yet to comment on the jump in price. beyond the redacted contracts, published by the european commission, the content remains confidential and so we won't be commenting. okay, they're not. but nicholas markovich, please atlanta list, going to hopefully from paris morning. yeah. what about this, that is it ethical for these companies to raise their prices right now, and we're only through the end of this pandemic? yeah. what do you think about that? how bizarre is this? we're in this situation today. we're countries like france, germany, italy are thinking about making vaccination mandatory. so we should be ordering

even more vaccines. and just at that moment, major companies like medina and pfizer are increasing their prices were normally, if you are respect supply and demand, the prices should go lower. so this is something there's something fishy behind this. i'm not even speaking about the fact that the whole contract between the european union and these companies is secret. the fact that they're rising prices quite more than 20 percent. it's nothing which is definitely not normal. nicholas selling it back in my head. maybe you can confirm it or not so much has happened to the last 18 months or so, but didn't they all agree initially? if it was a written agreement, or kind of a verbal agreement, that they wouldn't make a profit out of this while the world was suffering so badly with cove it around the world, you know, as they rushed to get these vaccines out. ok, a heck of a lot of development went into it. it was very expensive and costly but wasn't a sense of gentlemen's agreement that no over profits will be made or of. i just dreamt that up, these are no n g o is a company like fighter that does not forget that they made a lot of money during the, the u. s. civil war developing penicillin developing,

developing painkillers in 1st one more 2nd world war. they're here to make their public companies, they're here to make a profit. i don't believe that at all. i think that they have to be cautious now because everybody's looking. they're going to be making 30 over 30000000000 dollars this year alone. why are the increasing the price? i think there's something which is normally if they're going to be increasing the price, because that's why the demand, but they're not supposed to be. they're not supposed to be making a profit. so maybe they're not asking for money more money because they think that the vaccine is not maybe yet already not forget that interest. official information from this relevant health ministry, which is one of israel, is one of the countries which has got the most vaccinated people in percentage on earth today are saying that the ticket here, the pfizer vaccine is below 40 percent. it's gotten down to the 939 percent. so we're going to see that we take today with an efficiency of 39 percent. i think that pfizer is asking for more money today because it product is not ready yet. so this is very contra, this is very much country. we don't know the file size,

it would donate vaccine supplies to pull countries. in fairness to it may be the price sykes in affluent are supposed to call it that compared to poor countries around the world. europe could be intended to offset those losses. maybe is that what they're thinking? well, why don't they communicate on that? they can say, listen, we're going to increase the price. but why by doing this are going to enable 3rd, 3rd world countries or 4 countries to get the fact they're not communicating on that. why is there the shroud of secrecy around the negotiations? and all of a sudden we discover that this price type, which is huge to the, i don't know, many companies that which can increase their practice by 20 percent. especially during the pandemic. if they're going to be doing something which is going to be altruistic. and they have to communicate on that, and i don't believe that. and also i disagree with, i don't know why. countries today are imposing the vaccine with such a stress or price increase. who's thinking, i mean, we will know who is the profit for, is it for the people getting the vaccine? was it for these companies? right. question. the same time we'll talk about the, the you still seems to be stalling stonewalling. we're whatever you want to call it the approval of russia. sputnik v vaccine could the dr. european into

a russia splitting it v vaccine volt. if you like, by putting the price up is going to make the russian job lot less expensive or more attractive. well, of course, why, since the beginning is do we still don't have any result from the risk that your medical association on this exact thing which has been sold over 70 countries in the world today? this could be a game changer will only supposed to be there will society and we believe in an open market something we need to get the validation for the for this particular maxine and at least there would be some competition between the different companies . we've got an analytical fully situation today was just a couple of companies which got this illegal on, on the, on the vaccines in the market. it has to be open to other other, other back think of course these vaccines have to go through treatment as the ones which have been validated by why the european union taking so much time to validate the russian vaccine or chinese vaccines or countries. vectors for from other countries, this is something which is not normal. why are we committing ourselves only to

visor madana astrazeneca? don't forget, also this shift, in your opinion, every week about 300000000 vaccines in june of 2021 after venica. and then all of a sudden we changed and said, always us does and it does no good anymore. we're going to pfizer. a madonna with the pilot in the european union say, now these questions are going to be here to come out to this on the nuclear markovich pleaseland list for now that we're going to leave it. thank you. time have a good day. thank you, you too scooters. next modern, popular eco friendly. you say more and more of them, especially in moscow? will every city around the world electric scooter? fast, great way to get around cities in theory, but it turns out the course in the wrong hands because it getting faster, faster, but the looks of it. maybe i'm just getting older and older. they might not be that safe with more, more accidents being reported. we took a test drive that into cities foss, convenient and environmentally friendly. e scooters massively growing in popularity here in the u. k. over the last few years,

the relatively cheap to run and use electricity. so that perfectly invoke with a current focus on renewable energy. although russia is a relatively low lead boomer in the market of shareable electric scooter, this service has spread rapidly across the country where the number of users doubling. since the beginning of the pandemic, as more people are being encouraged to use individual means as transferred. it's also become an all time favorite among all kinds of delivery companies. these goodrich, i available for rand, for a number of different smartphone apps and can be found pretty much on average 3 corner. yes, not everyone is so keen on them the british government, his band excuses from public roads saying they can only be used on private land. it is not currently possible to get appropriate insurance for privately own e scooters,

meaning it is legal to use them on the road or in public spaces. it is legal to use and excuse her, on private land with the permission of the landowner from specific companies on the road. this part protective measures up 220-0000 accidents involving excuses are protected by the end. the here are also concerns around the impact that you're having on vulnerable people in society, especially the visually impaired leaving me to wonder exactly. well, understand the question of a, you know, people actually had to go to school because a sofa as a driver. my so, but the thing that really dangerous it depends on what it is clued up that didn't nothing quite the trouble far too far. and there's no oversight. there's no guidance for these people. they just buy them and, and they're just allowed to get onto the road in the footway without any guidance a few weeks back. just going so fast. and then i think the honda at the top just

came off in the middle of the road. the guy just fell off by lucky, there wasn't another call. it could've been a fatal accident. yes. as the number of people whizzing around moscow parks and pavements gross. so does the number of accidents involving e scooters count. people have died within the past 2 years. many believe that the reason is that e scooters operate in a legal gray area and it's true. according to the current legislation, a person on an e scooter is a pedestrian. but in reality, this is a person on a fast moving object. the city council has so far responded by introducing the so called flow zones, limiting the speed for rent, it actually scooters to 15 kilometers per hour down from 30 to 40 kilometers per hour. but clearly that's not enough. yeah, i think it's good or are fun. but moscow is not well suited to mother

a few places who can write safely, fish and cycling, and pretty narrow side walk the most i can see to the east. we do to be a mood of draws for that and is quite dangerous if so the people who don't have driving lights and just don't lie with tropicals, which can result in doing local infrastructure is not thought through. scooted, there are no special zones, but there are lots of config is ok to right on the side or should you cycling? they should be regulated a legislative level. the infrastructure should definitely be modified to suit the traffic lights and special zones created. the metropolitan police are concerned about the use of excuses in crimes with the forces figures saying that excuses were involved in 574 recorded crimes in london such as robberies or assault between the 1st of july 2020 and the 30th of april 2021. perhaps the reason why rental services such as this one require you to provide your biometric data including facial

recognition in order to hire one, i think was more important is the safety rather than face recognition. i'm let people use that bank card like they use a bar 5 to 6. take them out. i think the 1st thing they need to think about is safety. i personally don't think it's necessary. i mean, it's obviously like you said, that's a crime. surely they have ccb and i'll say probation. i don't think you need to guide your face to use it by the way the school applies. you do that with that, but maybe it's unnecessary to get a snapshot, i think would be better for public safety if they had some means of id like credit card, debit cards, something like this over the place. because if you've got someone's pitch on information about that person and be quite easy to, to, to get the people making a menace with regard to the schools. many believe it's the task of police to regulate and control how people use scooters. but in fact,

it's more complicated and all sides should be involved, the rental companies, the transport authorities, and the users themselves. and while it can take months to work out a proper legislative base for the service, the scooters will continue to zoom along the streets of our big cities. well, at least until winter for sure. that in the last time he related you to breaking story, come in from central europe this morning to people have been killed in a major crush in the czech republic, with 2 trains collided 10150 kilometers west of prague. 5 fighters say 38 have been injured, including 7 in critical condition, according to chat railways, one of the trains is an international high speed service to germany. the other part of your local passenger trade police reporting the number helicopters for we think we're on the scene there to help people happen to the russia about 8 o'clock this morning, 830 this morning. so get more, we'll let you know, but that's what we're talking about so far. thank you for watching auto

international me the the new gold rushes underway, and gunner thousands of ill equipped workers flocking to the goldfields, hoping to strike it. rich children are torn between gold and education. my family was very poor. i thought i was doing my best to get back to school, which still will have the strongest appeal the .
