a, with the russian co, it vaccines predict the, demonstrates a strong protection against the recently emerged on the constraint according to a new italian study and also produces more anti bodies than the pfizer jap. criminal negligence. that's how russia's foreign ministry is describing the work of some western journalists seeking to mislead the public into believing russia wants to invade ukraine. despite continuous denials, from officials in moscow and disturbing the classified video shows the seconds before a u. s. drone. it kills 10 afghan civilians, many of them children who are playing on the street and one of the most appalling incidents in the botched withdrawal from the country. joe biden says he makes no apologies whatsoever for the disastrous pentagon. philip and the ron opposes

american domination. president weaver, i came up pricey. flashes out at the white house pressure, imitate ron nuclear talked in an exclusive interview with the broadcasting lab director studios in moscow. this is our 2 international. i'm john thomas. i'm certainly glad to have you with us. i now a study by italian researchers in collaboration with russia has shown that the sputnik v vaccine is highly effective against the omicron cove it straight. the results have shown that to dose vaccination regimen allows the formation of neutralizing antibodies that can neutralize the am a chron variant. this study together with previous studies gives additional evidence for the need of booster immunization sputnik light booster after sputnik the vaccination induces robust neutralizing antibody response to our micron variant . well, i think is a really important for the wolf because they have dominance poems on the institute,
6:02 pm
which is one of the more threat pickable institute of the world. and basically it compared have to have food with 5 vaccine and shows of me just double the viral neutralization again for me, chrome is on fire like seeing. and it's a very well designed study. because basically they compared sarah, that was the same m attacking who hi rebellions original varian. and then they chose at pfizer declined 20 times against one micron. sputnik declined much less. and basically the status shows that support nick is the best. but in the world right now against armstrong and very important, it's not the competitive message, it's the message of corporation. we believe that we can pfizer shorts will work well together. we believe that we can be universal both the for many of it seems. so i'll message is that the corporation and we are offering with me like both 3rd,
6:03 pm
to strengthen and lengthen immune response on the chrome for many other vaccines. the study shows around 3 and 4 of those vaccinated with student v had antibodies against micron and left people with twice as many antibodies than the pfizer shot the head of split next developers. the gamma layout research institute told us more about the study and it's results are when they all my constrain came to europe and then to russia. of course, there was a desire to look at how sputnik they would protect against it. first, we study the institute serum from those facts night and was sputnik the, the study showed the 75 percent of russians vaccinate with sputnik. it's had enough antibodies to be protective mo micron. and among those, he got sputnik light as a boost the job. the number is 100 percent around 3 months after the booster. after that, italian colleagues from the spell on zoning institute, proposed joint studies of serum from those immunized with sputnik v. and those immunized with pfizer, the conclusions in the article, the result, the 3 week work. the main conclusion is that all studied vaccines are less
6:04 pm
effective against omicron, but serum from those vaccinated with sputnik dell of a micron, 2 and a half times better than those jobs with pfizer. thus, despite at 1st the serum being the same when it comes to neutralizing the woo and strain, this likely happens because sputnik ve provide a wide range of antibodies against different strains of covert. that's how our vaccine was designed. how specialist says from the start that the vaccine should be designed to provide as wide a range of antibodies as possible. while m. r n. a base like scenes were designed to provide high levels of antibodies against the whoop and strain, but not to provide a wide range of antibodies against different strains, full answering his criminal negligence. that's how russia's at foreign ministry spokeswoman has described. western media continuing to insist that moscow's about to invade ukraine, despite a lack of evidence and consistent denials from the kremlin. it's amazing how
6:05 pm
american gen lest speak was all certainty about russia's attack on ukraine. and seemed to have never heard about nato expansion to the east or the obligations of western countries to the indivisibility of security. it is as if they did not know anything about the provocations of the key aversion and washington support. well, is this holy simplicity or impermissible? neva, t, i think it's criminal negligence. will media hysteria that maria's a horrible mentioned there has spread across the west like wildfire over the past several months and bite and seems to be just as captivated by this idea of some sort of russian invasion as his friends in the western media are who seemed to be in lock step with nato. at his 2nd major press conference since taking office, he said that vladimir putin is still calculating. he still waiting for his moment to take some sort of military action. and when does he think this invasion will be? well, with all of the might of the u. s. intelligence services at biden's disposal. he
6:06 pm
seems to think that it all hinges on putin having a bad morning. one day. the only thing i'm counseling is that decision is totally soley, completely food decision. nobody else can make that decision. no, no, school, in practice. he's making that decision. he and i suspect it matters which side of the bed he gets up on the morning as to exactly what he's going to do . although the side though binding did not pull any punches when he was talking about threats against russia, he promised that there would be sanctions, the likes of which vladimir putin has never seen before. he confirmed that $600000000.00 worth of sophisticated military technology has been deployed to ukraine and other nato and nato countries in eastern europe. so, and that was all echoed by a number of republican lawmakers who said that biden should give prudent, bloody nose if he takes any action against ukraine. so we've got 2 sides here,
6:07 pm
both saying that they're looking for a diplomatic solution, but washington just seems to be disregarding all of russia's negotiating points with what is going on. what's the word from russia? while these accusations of an eminence, russian invasion of ukraine, they've been going around for months now and time and time again. moscow has said that it's just a fantasy. they've said that, you know, russia has the right to move its own troops around in its own territory. and that should not be a threat to anyone. we stress once again, russia is not going to attack in the practice of moving troops on our own soil is a sovereign right. we call for an end to the serious, so as not to pile on tensions around the down this problem. and most importantly, not to push hotheads in key of towards new provocations. now to make the whole situation even more tense intelligence services from the self proclaimed done yet the people's republic have said that ukraine is actually planning to attack and sabotage key points along the point. the front line, the line of conflict between
6:08 pm
a key of controlled territory and don boss and ukraine. so far there has not been any comment from kiev on these developments. but this combined with the west's attempt to stoke hysteria around and the legit russian attack. i mean, they're not doing anything for the escalations. the conflict there to harvard, noted that by contrast, the west continues to send weapons to kim nato plans to deploy arms near russia's borders and the u. s. plans to ship $200000000.00 worth of missiles, ammunition, and other equipment to ukraine in the coming days with similar plants from allies. the escalation, if it's in ukraine, bring in more lethal weapon. if also, if the key is within the 7 lodge military aircraft fly filled with
6:09 pm
empty tank weapons on board, ukrainian officials don't hold back their excitement. this military assistance will strengthen our forces and increase our defense capabilities. i want to stress that we will only use these weapons for defense purposes to protect the critical infrastructure and civilians from any actions that may lead to escalation. roy left for bringing peace and stability to europe. since the bill played bombing, we got reactions from former british ambassadors, craig moraine, peter ford, who believe the saber rattling is politically beneficial for western leaders. the course that isn't going to be a russian invasion. this is a foss concocted. i said nothing. and in the united kingdom you have a government in deep trouble and very unpopular. you have the same of joe biden. joe biden is clubbing, depth, one popularity that note as lever plums before. accept the donald trump. so a fun distraction. fabre that name,
6:10 pm
war mongering is always something which politicians turn to and was generally they can, they can rely on their media to, to deflect and take up. so we're seeing this doesn't phobic war mongering propaganda. largely, i think as a distraction from the internal weakness of these key western government, i'm afraid to close a moment is not thinking about long consequences. they're thinking today, tomorrow, no further than next week. when johnson may hope that clinical domestic crisis may be over, in the meanwhile, and his internet to ramp up or to drive up the temperature, which is exactly what was done by announcing the day, sending
6:11 pm
a new record to you. craig. meanwhile, russian foreign minister sergey la rob has arrived in geneva for upcoming talks with us secretary of state anthony, blinking. the meeting of the 2 ministers is scheduled for friday. lab robin blinking are expected to discuss the security guarantees between russia and the united states over to america. now, where the us state department has released a document accusing both the r t channel and student agency of propaganda and disinformation, claiming they are critical to moscow's goals. of changing global public opinion about russia's actions in ukraine and other countries. for this less cross live now to our very own corresponded daniel hawkins. den tell us more about this document. what it says. well, this is the latest report released by the state department on all to you, the documents about 30 pages long and is titled all genes put next row in rushes, this information and propaganda ecosystem. we have seen similar reports before. of
6:12 pm
course, they come out with fairly regular intervals. the last one came out in august 2020. in fact, titled pillars of russia. this information and propaganda ecosystem. one of the report back in 2017 part of a piece by the us intelligence community, a part of which was the classified, an accused r t of the russian government meddling in the us presidential election. obviously in favor of the presidential candidate donald trump. but back to this latest report, it studies allegedly several case studies of audio coverage, ranging from the 24 team, my da revolution, to ortiz reporting on russian tuckers. relation to this latest reporting on tensions on the ukrainian or russian border and beyond effectively accuses all of being unbalanced, all effectually disseminating disinformation and propaganda to influence public
6:13 pm
opinion on global affairs in russia's favorite. does it give credit to r t, some of the quotes they're saying that our big online reach is comparable to other pan arab channels. it says all to you go to significant audience in latin america and also highlights all growth on social media. so it does give all the credit in terms of its growth and influence. a lot of the quotes here though, again state for example, instead of providing a balance to count the r t present totally one position that selectively the covenants position on the issue. and covers that makes the criminal look good and it's about 3 look bad as opposed to other so cool, independent media outlets, whatever those of course may be. so really, having had a cursory glance at this report, as we say, it does bring up a lot of old media coverage share,
6:14 pm
focuses on this latest coverage concerning the tensions in ukraine. it, of course, comes on the back of those talks between russian officials with us officials with native officials which have been taking place over the last few days. and of course ahead of that all important negotiations to morrow in geneva, which form and again elaborate was attending, alongside the us secretary state anthony blinking. so perhaps a bit of old timing. they're out of time when negotiations are taking place when hope and diplomacy is meant to be there. and state department officials have said the diplomacy is not dead. so again, the slightly old timing of course, for this report, but perhaps to be expected and will certainly bring you some more response when, when we do get a close look at that report. all right, lots of moving parts, all happening, all the same time, very fast. and in fact, you know, as it developed dan hopkins, you'll stay ahead of it for us. thanks. no terrorist from islamic state,
6:15 pm
also known as dash, have attacked a prison in northern syria run by kurdish militia in an effort to release those inside to car bomb blasts have been reported. gunfire has been heard and several inmates are understood to have been killed. curtis authorities have confirmed the attack, but have not specified how many prisoners have escaped. local media reports around 20 detainees have already fled with authorities on the lookout for them. with more heres mohammed ali it corresponded based in syria. the incident happened day when a huge blast was heard around the look where on prison, which is also known as a left, in oper than in a government which turned out to be attacked by sleepers over the ice using a car bomb. they tried to attack the prison classes were reported over there between to dash to terrorists attacking from the outside. and the guards of the
6:16 pm
prison affiliated, of course, would be so called through democratic care forces. also the reports or they're coming out of that area to just that project from the us coalition. carried out stories over the area over there, and also choppers were engaged in open gunfire around in the vicinity of the prison . according to some curtis media outlets about 20 dashed prisoners were able to escape and according to the coordination and military operation center of the aquatic forces, they said that currently engaged in operation to retake control entirely of the prison. also, search operation are currently underway and the neighborhoods around and wait on and it has like in order to attract those who escape ah,

despite the appalling ongoing consequences of the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan, including humanitarian catastrophe, jo button has insisted he has absolutely nothing to be sorry for. there is no way to get out of afghanistan after 20 years, easily, not possible in the matter when you did it. and i make no polish when i didn't. meanwhile, newly declassified footage shows the seconds before one of the most disturbing moments of august pull out as a us drone mistakenly kills 10 cable, so civilians, most of them show children, and you can see children walking round and playing on the street. as the pentagon prepares to strike, and this is the moment of the blast, as a civilian can be seen crossing the road while the missile was fired. and there are growing questions about accountability for that strike despite issuing an official apology. the pentagon maintains that no one will be punished for the deadly mistake was defence spokesperson, john kirby,
6:18 pm
and claiming that there is not enough evidence of personal accountability. the national coordinator for the anti war answer coalition says military chiefs think that they are above the law. the young child just beat away from the man that's about to be destroyed by the drone attack by the u. s. military. clearly that is a war crime. the pentagon cannot simply say, look, international law doesn't apply to us. we can hold international criminal court events in the hague, for other people, for the targets of american imperialism. but we ourselves are exempt. we have a waiver. no, that's not how international law works. there is never been accountability. i mean, when you kill tens of thousands of civilians and there's not one criminal prosecution, that means it's not simply the drone operators, quote mistake close quote. it's the decision of the war makers. they prefer to shoot and kill 1st and ask questions later or ask questions. never because as long
6:19 pm
as the bleeding and dying is done on the afghan side, there's no political liability in washington or in the united states. that's the logic of a criminal war and war crimes in a criminal war. and for more on the consequences of the us war on terror, you can add to r t dot com there. you can find and comment on our special project on heard voices where we speak to those on the ground hit by america's war in afghanistan. in an exclusive interview with rti, iran's president has said that he wants a group of nations free of us control. the comments come amid heightened attentions with washington over nuclear talks with iran, and he does have outlines the key points that were raised. this interview was the iranian president's 1st such interview to, to foreign press, or we were fortunate it went on for a while, the better part of a now, and those are a lot covered. obviously, one of the 1st things we talked about is relations with russia, between
6:20 pm
a rod and russia, the strategic corporation deal. that is, that is still being in between the 2 countries that goes way into the future. 20 years into the future envisioning all sorts of cooperation between iran and russian . i of the rainy president, why, why russia? and he says that the 2 countries have a lot that they agree on. there is a lot that they can mutually benefit or, and that ultimately they are both countries that want to be free. one solitary main principal is that we do not want to accept domination over other countries and do not want to be oppressed. we want to be an independent country, just like russia wants to be here. it is these countries that want to be independent, but being attacked by their rival. the americans don't want to independent countries. we're close american domination. the gist of what he said is that the united states and its allies think again, any that they want to crush any nation that wants to charge that its own course in
6:21 pm
infancy. and that is what we have seen with syria, with libya, with, with other nations you. i also asked them about cyber crime about the constant accusations against iran, of conducting cyber attacks to get a sub a nation cyber espionage, which the radiant president replied, well look at what is happening in iran. we are regularly targeted with some of the biggest cyber cyber crime operations. the world has seen where all our petrol stations are, nuclear, nuclear power objects. how did it before and saw the attacks which drew no condemnation from the international community. he also, he also spoke about his ties, the countries cause to china, for example. and i also asked them about a recent video where the radian military would seem conducting a more mock attack against donald trump. this is all tied into the murder the killing of cuz he said
6:22 pm
a monday and iranian commander who went to great lengths to come back isis in the middle east. you forgot to little bit. miller asked him to a money and his associates were heroes in the fight against terrorism in the wrong, and they were killed that someone wants to be oppressed, it will be seen as being oppressed and the price to be seen as being the oppressor . it's all people understand that they know who is committing oppression in the world and what the radians had to say is that there must be responsibility. this is a matter of principle for that that an international investigation must be launched . and donald trump must answer for that killing. in court. russia central bank wants to ban both trading and mining of all crypto currencies, such as bitcoin warning that they are ponzi schemes that on productively waste vast amounts of energy. along with the u. s. and cars exxon russia is one of the world's top, big claim miners and energy intensive process that adds new transactions to the network . numerous western states are also moving a ban, warning that the practice is

a climate change threat. the friendship teachers are staging in unsanctioned mass, walk out and demanding the education chief is fired. after handouts, district, a new covered rules for schools, while relaxing on the spanish party island of the visa. charlotte davinsky reports from a demonstration in paris. hey chest. as it's not the north weiss hasn't seen this or to support we saw in the protest just a week ago when around the 80000 education workers came back to the streets across frogs, to show their discontent with the ever changing. they say covert regulations, the protocols in school would say, say, have been chaotic. figures today say that fewer than 2 percent of teachers were out today, this protest, but it's not the last one. there is another one that is scheduled for next week that has been given the approval by the authorities. however,
6:24 pm
what we have seen is huge and get from the teachers. we've spoken to you about the fact that those ever changing rules came from an education minister. it was on holiday in ib. she'll go on furious that in 2 years of the pandemic, nothing has been done to adapt to it. we are not protected. we don't have masks, we have nothing. birth, nor loss of his vacation as shocking. we have the right to a vacation as much as every one else. it's not us teachers who are causing the problems. it's them who don't listen to us or have a dialogue. we, every one has to write to a vacation. lisa, for the minister is of course, very symbolic. when it says that the minister is disconnected from us, he prefers to talk not with his teachers, but with the media. this confirms the bad relations between us. what happened was, at the beginning of the year, there was a decision taken that if a child in a class testing posted to go with other children in that class, have to go and have several concrete tests that have to be taken at pharmacy. some
6:25 pm
authorities that put huge pressure on the testing system here in branson, so massive keys outside of pharmacy for parents waiting for hours in the cold and rain trying to get their children tested. under these regulations, teachers say that they've essentially become the test in trace managers having to check every day that children are negative. and this is why they say that they're angry. that these change came at the last minute from a minister who was on holiday john michelle john blanca, who they've asked to now resign from his job has though defended his actions for 2 years. i have been working 7 days a week for the management of schools in the health crisis. thanks to the work of everyone, especially teachers, france has been a country of open schools. i took 5 days off. i was in contact every day with my ministry in the service of the school, the prussia put on the government from that protest last week. the biggest education protested some 20 years past,
6:26 pm
seen by the government in terms of some of the demos we've heard from teachers. the prime minister is saying that they will supply teachers with mosques, and they will look to hire more stuff to compensate for those who are eliza results . concrete, there is a sense about that not just by teachers, but across other weights of the population because of the changing rules in regard to co fonts is battling this current wave of the pandemic. i mean, just give you a sense this week we broken all reco code, the positive numbers we've more than 450000 post to pace is being recorded in one day. i see you can see at the moment which is intensive care, he said about 76 percent. as the government is trying to deal with a steroid huge scrutiny at the decisions that have been made over the last few years. but also the last few months. and weeks, and this is particularly important because we are in a very, very crucial election year. here. joe biden is present,
6:27 pm
secretary has appeared to contradict the president's repeated inflammatory claim that this year's a key mid term elections could be illegitimate. if the senate doesn't pass huge changes to the voting system, i'm not saying it's going to be legit. the increase in the prospect of being illegitimate is in direct proportion to us not being able to get these reforms past . perhaps, unsurprisingly, republicans are also passionately against the move to create national voting standards that would override state level republican voting laws. the proposal would also scrutinize election campaign financing and require federal approval if states want to change ballot regulations. the senate has yet to pass the 2 bills with even democratic senators warning it could further split us society, journalist and author, daniel lazar says the american political system is breaking down control over the elections is turn into a, into a political political issue. so therefore,
6:28 pm
essentially, both parties are grappling for control parties want to stop the other from, from, in any way reforming the system. which basis back will be to that part is advantage . america is an a very unique position. it's government is 235 years old and it's refundable and consequently it's, it's extremely dysfunctional. it is working more and more poorly. so yes, every, every time a president comes to office, he promises grand thing. he will, he will accomplish this and accomplish that. it's that are et cetera, et cetera. and it quickly becomes obvious that the, those, those promises are meaningless because congress will refuse to cooperate. congress is really incapable of cooperating. it is so dysfunctional. so. busy american american government, the basic structures of american government are completely broken down. it has been a year since joe barton took office as american president,
6:29 pm
but despite numerous problems and sagging approval ratings has remained relatively a bit and claims with the mid term elections coming up. he's actually doing better than expected. i don't leave the post. i didn't know or promise it, but i have probably upper form and anybody thought would happen. however, most americans don't seem to share buttons optimism about his management of the country. a recent poll shows that most voters think the president has taken the us down the wrong path, richard becker of the anti war organization. the answer coalition says that instead of tackling problems had on biden holds ineffective meetings and fails to come up with solutions. we're trying to today, to cru, somehow or can people that are succeeded. and in fact, what the 1st year of is and ministration has been, has been crisis after crisis. and those prices have not been south instead of reaching out to the public. and i tried to invoke popular support for
6:30 pm
the legislation instead just repeatedly carried out these meetings, but led to nowhere. looking back with commentary on biden's 1st year and officers are chief, kill him up. madame tussaud's, as presented, joe biden was quite an honor to celebrate his 1st year in office. he and his vice president had been immortalized in wax. ah, common harris is the 1st vice president to go in with some joking that she was added simply because joe biden can't cope on his own. now, there are hollywood smiles recreated almost to realistically for some put them in the white house. it will have the same results or probably better, can we put them in the oval. they are about as useful as the real things, as standing job of capturing the likeness of both prison biden and vice president
