9:00 am
by entering the future. so watch kaiser, replace ah, vaccines from pfizer and madonna show it's a very dropping efficacy when faced with the delta variance, according to an american study around a 100 asylum seekers or order to self isolate medic, cobit outbreak of british military barracks the migrants they worn conditions are too cramped and fear for their lives and firefighters and volunteers, battle huge wildfires and rushes far east by the state of emergency enforce right now, smoking dash coated huge areas. all correspondence is in the thick of it. firefighters have now created this mineralized zone. this and basically the whole purpose of this is that the fire, if you can see it's still burning there, it will not be able to pass beyond the zone. ah,
9:01 am
that good, happy with us. this is t international uncle and bryan. moscow with a will use the were across for you, this, our 1st of worrying drop in the efficacy for the fighter in the middle. a cobit vaccines has been marked in a new american study showing that they did significantly against the delta strain after 6 months. corresponding alia for trying to join me earlier to explain the findings. this is a so called pre print study, which means that it hasn't gone through peer review yet, but the study contains numbers. the numbers outline the trends, and they are scary. they cannot be ignored, even though they only come from one state of minnesota. but there are about the efficacy and when it comes to preventing infection for the madera vaccine, the efficacy has dropped from 86 percent in january to 76 percent in july. however, with pfizer, it's been
9:02 am
a real statistical nosedive because the efficacy has fallen from 76 percent in january to 42 percent. and experts are linking all this with the spread of the delta various in the us. now i've said that this is a pre print study. however, the overall situation with corona virus in the u. s. is echoing these numbers and it does look scary, because if you look at the daily growth a bit more than a month ago, it was about plus $12000.00 new cases in one day. and you know what they registered on august. the 11th plus $155.00 new cases, southern states are reporting that they are running out of intensive care units beds. and here's what we heard from one doctor who was working with corporate patients in the region of food. we're going back to when you to go, when you don't have where you base or for the we have to put pins lacking work phone, then outside they have to allow 2 people to come on
9:03 am
a while. the spread of the delta variant is clearly set to become a nightmare for. ready american officials, without full vaccination of a vast majority of the population, most likely new variance will keep appearing. and again, perhaps they will be more dangerous. and this is something that senior medical experts have been warning about for, while long as the virus continues to spread. you give it ample opportunity to mutate and when you give an ample opportunity to mutate, you may sooner relate a get another variant. and it is possible that that variant might be in some respects worse than the already. ready very difficult, very, and we're dealing with now. so any thoughts or reassurance from any officials on this was so far in common to the outlet. the 1st reported on the minnesota study as senior joe biden, administration. officials said the following, literally,
9:04 am
if that's not a wake up call, i don't know what is and perhaps at this point these guys aren't that keen to comment on that worsening situation because only a bit more than a month ago during the 4th of july celebrations. joe biden was more than just optimistic about his efforts against colbert. thanks to our roaring facts, seen efforts, we gain the upper hand against this virus. we can live our lives. our kids can go back to school. our economy is rory back. well, this is what joe barton was saying a bit more than a month ago. now the situation is completely different and it could turn into a complete flow for the government, trying to stay positive these. they don't, they need to, vaccines in the mix. how many others holding up? i'm going to give you 2 other names. and in that case, the situation is much more promising. that is johnson and johnson and rushes. sputnik being out for the 1st one i mentioned the efficacy against the delta
9:05 am
variance is at 95 percent, which is impressive when it comes to rushes. sputnik fee, the efficacy drops, just like in the case of but there are no. and pfizer, but it only dropped to 83 percent, which is still an impressive result compared to 42 percent of pfizer. so perhaps this is the reason why the developer of sputnik be suggested and proposed cooperation with pfizer. suggesting starting trials with sputnik as a booster jap. let's see what kind of response they're going to get. because we do remember that despite being allowed and dozens of countries, sputnik, we has not yet been officially approved by the world health organization or micro biologist, dr. simon clark told me the new strains will seriously test and occupation programs . vaccines work best to work against generations against the region we have strayed, which is too long gone in the archives and really doesn't cause
9:06 am
a problem any more. what we probably need is new axioms against new strains because that will take time. it will not be as easy as some people have pretended that protection against transmission is, is not as good as we had hoped against the delta variance. so, but that does it mean that an ability to generate her immunity almost vanishes because you need to protect against transmission. nothing else. had immunity does not in and of itself protect you against getting serious really, it protects you against contract in virus. now from north africa to southern europe and beyond months of wildfires becoming a growing catastrophe. 5 fighters and even the military battling to bring the vast and deadly fires under control. the news
9:07 am
and eastern rushes. one of those areas devastated almost 5000 people, fighting the slaves with 700 pieces of equipment deployed to a state of emergency has been declared in the huge acute region where thick smoke is forced airports to cancel flights. dmitri polk is there and sent this report me ah, so we're still traveling to the village where we are expected to meet the firefighters that some of those we actually saw yesterday. but right now on the way,
9:08 am
we couldn't help, but stop at this. scenic location is late covered and smoke a red sky above it. and all we're looking, all of this is a bunch of cows. some dogs, some people who live here, this is their life. and now it's all covered in smoke. and we know how close the fires have gotten to this place specifically, but firefighters. there's a bunch of equipment. there's a lot of volunteers. so i think these guys are safe and these cows and these dogs definitely to now we're going to head back on the road to the village, which is now under threat of fire in if you're wondering what the raj, all of these places looks like. something like this, the last
9:09 am
step which was the full of fire is the most difficult as it encompasses enlarge area. the minimalize area has been created. the longer perimeter in that area has now been dug up from the to there. so we just arrived at one of the locations where the firefighters have now created this mineralized zone. this is basically the whole purpose of this is that the fire, if you can see it's still burning there, it will not be able to pass beyond the zone. also this area has obviously been burned off, which is one of the ways they stop the fires. we know that a fire is coming from the direction, so they burn everything off. so they make that trench the mineralized zone. then the start to burn off. as he can see, the ground hears all ash, all of this is nash. ah,
9:10 am
there were fallen tis an employees from the ministry emergency situation. so everyone is allow plow manage extinguish saw. so while this fire does not represent any immediate threats, any people but so it's still feel just kind of good to have a part in extinguishing it. so now is just a bunch of smoke but there's no me. ah, so we've traveled back to the village that is currently being threatened by the wildfires. there is one coming from one side and the other. it's chaos right now. we tried to go to the fires, but this place is very big. and so we just didn't have enough time to reach and
9:11 am
it's way too far away, and it's through very dense wilderness. the only thing that can get through there are things like this, but they're all packed with firefighters. but we did see the mineralized line that they made. we saw the burn off, and the aftermath of that burn off the burns trees the burned ground. we walked to know for at least an hour through all of the we still couldn't reach the fire. we decided to head back, it was just too much. plus it was taking a hole on our eyes, on her breasts, on our lungs. are very rough out there. the guys are, they're constantly. some of them have been there for 40 days already. and even they are getting tired already. so i think at least now many people have gotten understanding of what it takes to battle these wildfires to battle nature and how chaotic call of this can be. i have information about r t asylum seekers housed in
9:12 am
a former british military barracks has been ordered to south isolate because of a covert outbreak. will the only 3 people tested positive around a 100 and now locked down in the extremely crowded facility? which rights group say is not safe? here's our london corresponded. shoddy edwards dashti. well now notorious maybe for a minute recital folks, i can't. it's on the verge yet. again, of a master cove it outbreak, it comes as around a 100 people have been full to self isolate. following around 3 people contracting the virus, which is now leading to many people, fearing that virus could spread like wildfire in the camp itself. but it really comes as no surprise considering 234 people are living inside ne p barracks, 28 people. chevy, one bedroom and one bathroom. that hasn't changed despite a high call ruling. suggesting that napier barracks is yours, is completely on the north for on, failed to meet a minimum standard, but it hasn't stopped the home office from continuing to use this facility,
9:13 am
which quite frankly, a determined that this type of outbreak was only a matter of time. yes again, but it now has re energize the call from campaign is to shop for good with yet another cove it outbreak spreading throughout the camp. once again, the home office is putting the lives of the men held there at risk, as well as those in the wider community. any improvements the home office claims to have made or inadequate, and not care bags must immediately be closed and safe. quoted secure accommodation provided, well pretty patel. the home secretary has loan, defended the use of ne p barracks in light of this court ruling. but also despite the health and medical professionals including public health, england, morning, it's totally not fit for papa, but it's hard to look at science, that history is now repeating itself. again. if we look back to january, nothing has changed since 900 outbreak was some, 200 people actually constructed the virus after about 50 percent of the maximum
9:14 am
capacity of ne p barracks at the time. and yes, the home office at that point conceded and began the process of transferring people out of ne p about by a pool. but just a few days later began the process of transferring people in with a fresh cohort of asylum seekers. but the home office insist that the site is adequate, uncovered, secure, all appropriate covert protocols. so being followed in accordance with public health, england advice to manage the small number of cases. currently it may peer barracks . so around a 100 people in 4 of the blocks that ne p o box were handed a letter by the private company that's running and managing the site on behalf of the home office, telling them they need to self isolate. but that really affects the question as to how can they self isolate the home office. and so these people that tested positive was taken out of the dormitories. but what happens to the rest of those people that were coming into contact with those positive cases? the home office was unable to clarify what this self installation really means.
9:15 am
well, i myself have visited the barracks on numerous occasions over the past few months. and many asylum seekers told me of the conditions inside liking it to prison like conditional but also saying that it impacts on mental health too. with some people even telling me they're on the brink of a suicide attempt. but in relation to coven 19, they say it's absolutely impossible to socially distance. like to learn self isolate. with teaching, we sharing chatting, kitchen, setting, tries to read and share. one thought i do more than the people. not lifting that home some, some people not eating, not going be well the scandal hit facility has been open for almost a year now and it's been totally down with plenty of controversy. we've seen
9:16 am
protest hunger strike suicide attempts even. and now this is a 2nd kind of at 19 outbreak, all of which was knowledge by the high court back in june and ruling it on law for the judges. at that point in time found the asylum seekers will powerless to protect themselves. not still very much the case here today, but what we're seeing from campaign this is our all queueing but it was really just a stroke of luck so they would know death back in january. and how can we possibly see the same thing. now the only way they all get to prevent the west from happening is for the legal proceedings to actually be taken into consideration by the government to change its policy and shot for good laughter. how tomorrow would be catholic, cal, a refugee charity, told me that the authorities are ignoring advice on the migrants conditions. the advice from public housing and on the pier period was that they didn't see how the dormitory could be coded kill despite this to home. office has continued to house vulnerable and see cuz in napier endorse, right. and in the middle of a comic,
9:17 am
the messages that we've been getting her residents today suggest other extremely worried about this. they aren't able to isolate properly. isolation is extremely difficult for them. and now we've had these 3 initial cases of code where extremely worried that more are going to come in the next few days. it's just over the issue ation. as you said, this happened in january as well. and it's an inevitable car, and it's really another environmental headache and all part of the world. russian prosecutors a probing, an oil spill near the black sea port of an overseas. cuz scientists warn that the scale of the disaster is much worse than initially reported. the leak came as crude was being pumped from a terminal onto a greek flag tanker. it was initially claimed that just 12 cubic meters of oil spilled into the sea and that the leak did not spread further. however, russian scientists analyzed satellite data and found that the spell covered an area 400000 times larger than claimed. the authorities say there's not been any
9:18 am
significant environmental damage, but there isn't investigation on the way still to come to still missing after a tourist helicopter crashed in a remote lake in rushes of far race. we'll have the latest off in the break. the driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me dares thing. we dare to ask in
9:19 am
a crash trillions of dollars that they send to chinese workers and chinese factory owners who make the world goods that they shipping containers into amazon warehouses and wal mart stores where millions and millions of americans work at a less than survivor. wal minimum wage and are for the 1st time in america, life expectancy is going down. the hello again had tourist helicopters crashed into a deep lake in the can chat, company ensure and rushes far east. a people have been rescued, but another rates are still missing. medic say that those who have been rescued over no stable condition right now. 13 taurus from moscow in st. petersburg,
9:20 am
including a child were on board of the time along with 3 crew members. one survivor described the terrifying experience. use of mobile mobile for, for, for, for those to be with me since i was dozing along to the time because visibility was very poor. and so i realized something that happened with only when i felt was my face becomes hard to talk about it because there was a boy sitting next to me, the son of my friend, because i was sleepy. i didn't have time to say, you know, i removed my into that i was in lifted up by the water and there was a small f. okay. so i managed to take a breath up, but it wasn't the, the water was cold. visibility was poor folk was everywhere, i'll feel the survivors who managed to switch to the stuff and cried out for help. but i couldn't even help myself. my shoes dragging me down. i tried to find something to climb up because in minutes we don't be frozen to death with the waterfalls also. okay, we heard about the cold water the out. in fact, it was reportedly down to 6 degrees celsius. the thick fog at the lake. it also
9:21 am
still posing a huge obstacle to the emergency services. we heard the sound of an approaching helicopter. that was very thick. folk visibility was about 100 meters. we couldn't see it, but we heard how it hit the water. we launched boats, and after 3 or 4 minutes, we were at the crash site. we found 8 people. with 2 of them were in a serious condition. the deputy director of the company that owns the helicopter, told us the aircraft was inspected before departure and underwent a major level last year. preliminary data suggests the crash was caused by pilot arab, but that still under investigation. the remote mountainous region on the cam chatted convention. it was a popular draw for tourists, but it's only accessible by a divers at the scene of so far. being unable to reach the helicopter, the helicopter is more than 100 meters below the surface. but the divers only have equipment for working at the depth of up to 20 meters high school students in the
9:22 am
us state of oregon will no longer have to prove that that proficient in reading, writing, and mathematics in order to graduate, according to a new law, signed off by the governor, catapult and explains a bit more about the theory behind it. according to the bill that was signed into law in the state of oregon, last month, students in order to graduate from high school in the state of oregon will no longer have to prove that they're capable of reading, writing, or performing basic mathematical operations. this is don, according to the bills language, to help students from communities that have quote, historically experienced academic disparities. the testing that we've been doing in the past doesn't tell us what we want to know. we want to have kids getting a chance to do and learn and be curious about everything. and what we've been doing is stopping that curiosity. now the bill from what it's supporters say is about trying to help students who are from immigrant populations or refugees who have come to the states who the examinations and the tests required for graduation are
9:23 am
seen as kind of a barrier to them getting the high school diploma now, reportedly these rules will now be in place for the next 5 years now. the bill was signed into law without much fanfare. there was no signing ceremony. there was no press release announcing the bill, and it was added to the database a few days after it was signed. and now i was last month. now there's been quite a strong and negative reaction. this is the progressive left form of education, dummy down kids. you are taking away the only tool to get to break the poverty cycle. this is the type of legislation that they want to make black people a permanent underclass. these requirements were suspended during the pandemic due to the circumstances, but now the suspension of those requirements has been fully signed into law in the state of oregon. now it's possible that the federal department of education could
9:24 am
step in to overturn these requirements. but many see this as a trend of lowering standards. there needs to be standards at what level you need to have reach in high school in order to get that the diploma is to represent something. so if we take out and dumb it down, then what is it really peanut, the more organs graduation rates a bad. but the solution to that is not by taking away all the high school standards solution to make this work better for attending the accountable for the same aspect . like i think if you come from different backgrounds, you should be able to have the same as you know like the requirements should be a little bit more level than what they are the best intentions. but gifts that we've been hearing from believe that the new law could track down the states entire education system in the process. i think that there's plenty opportunities. there are what we have head start systems here in oregon. we have tutoring system. we got
9:25 am
everything in place to help a student, the struggling to succeed. that's what education is about not to bring the whole system down. it's somewhat races. i mean, you're putting a class of people down and you're bringing everybody down in time. are you forcing colleges to lower their standards in order to get students to pay their bills? the whole system of education gets damaged by this. this bill will create an evacuation out of public schools in the private schools and homeschooled, and that in turn will hurt them financially. when you take away the primary ability for persons who are kind of themselves out of poverty, which is education. and then you start the bigotry who effort faces into basically dumb down all requirements. not only are they going to have a problem getting into congress, they're going to have a problem with procuring employment in more than anything this, this harms every last say that kind of america,
9:26 am
because you're just totally dumbing down our future, which are the jordan republican us senator, who wants defended the right of private companies to do what they wished. his found himself blocked by one of the youtube run, pulls accounts now suspended for a week for supposed misinformation about coded masks. we remove content from senator polls channel for including claims that masks are ineffective, and preventing the contraction or transmission of cove at 19. in accordance with our coven, 19 medical misinformation, policies. we apply our policies consistently across the platform, regardless of speaker or political views of the video he posted contain claims the cloth mask, the ineffective, and can't prevent the spread of infection. just remember, the health officials insist that mosque can guarantee a certain level of protection. so as you might imagine, senator polls not happy you to maybe a private entity, but they're acting like an arm of the government, censoring those who present an alternative view to the science deniers in
9:27 am
washington. what i said in that video is actual science. most of the mask you get over the counter don't work. they don't prevent infection. now when it comes to end 5 basks. i have always said that those do or youtube frequently on the scrutiny binding or suspending the content of its users through the pandemic. any violation of its coven policies could get your videos dropped rules on other sites, such as twitter and facebook is similarly controversial. we also members of the us libertarian policy. well, they thought about big tex crackdown. i will say that government is using big tech as a proxy very often in the censoring of specific opinions that they don't agree with on. and that's something that's been going on for quite some time. any roughly 5 or 6 year period. we have gone from where there's been almost no center ship of opinion, except for maybe like hate speech and even not much censuring of that,
9:28 am
to where an increasing number of things are simply verboten. you just cannot see them. if you do say them, then there's a good chance you're going to be removed, not just from one platform, but if you say it on any of them removed from all of them. and you're effectively silenced on the internet. that is a problem. when you have any kind of a scientific opinion, you're often going to get multiple views. and those views are going to be challenged, both in open political debate and open social debate and, and scientific debate. and the way that the truth rises is both through and by scientific evaluation, along with additional oversight from the community, from society as a whole. remember, while the views inside the united states are fairly diverse, the reasons i feel like and valley or anything but, and you're going to find a lot more preference toward big government status in among the very
9:29 am
people that are controlling these big tech networks. so yes, there's no question that conservatives libertarians are being di, platforms much more quickly and much more aggressively. then, progressives are liberal democrats that have ideas that are equivalently outside of the mainstream. i only have been busts on the way next after which i'll be back here with the latest global update from r t. m. moscow for now that thanks for watching the ah, the ah . ah.
9:30 am
one of the worst ever mass shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy a close a little of the real last vegas where many say elected officials are controlled by casino owners. the dangerous shooting revealed what? the l v m p. d. really is, and now it's part of the spanish, in most of the american public, barely remember that it happens that just shows you the power of money in las vegas . the powerful showed that true colors when the pandemic had the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades. and then you have a mayor who doesn't care to. here's caroline goodman offering the lives of the vegas resin.
