united nations special ramp on to put forward a number of conclaves about what happened to alexina vile me last summer from the investigation that they carried out the un special operators say that 5 laboratories of unequivocal improvement in their eyes that missing a volley was poisoned with a novel talking nerve agent of a type that was only available in the russian federation and could only have been administered by somebody with expert abilities namely a state actor russia denies any involvement in his poisoning this report wasn't just a look at what had happened to mr novelli that would also serve as a tacit statement of support for the opposition figure as a politician and as a man something i question the un weapons has upon when put alongside statements that have been made by. 'd amnesty international have said that they will no longer consider alexina vilely a prisoner of conscience after it became clear that he advocated violence and discrimination against ethnic minorities and migrants in russia human rights belong to all of us the best of us into the worst us and there is no

that goes without saying, and the attacks on her were vile. they just were. they were repugnant. they don't have any place in our society. but she's going to keep doing her job as well as she does every day. >> so the republican party is looking more like the party of resistance as former president trump tightens his grip. cnn's john harwood is live at the white house. i'm not sure what that means, john, exactly, because they're the party of adulation for donald trump if you base it on the cpac response, your thoughts. >> that's right. but the question is why the adulation. the answer to that has to do with the core message of donald trump, make america great again. he's looking backwards. donald trump gave that remark at the insurrection on january 6th, saying if you don't fight like he hell, you're not going to have a country anymore. what does that mean? well, the core of the republican party is white christians who for most of the united states history have been the large majority of americans. that is no longer the case. white christians are now fewer than half of the americ

now that statement also said that selig saying the vile they had already been served several reprimandsfor refusing to follow the prison. the prisons daily routine and rules as well. meanwhile, the blogger's followers have appealed to the german doctor, so come and treats a day here in russia for his ailments and that those same issues were raised during the briefing with the letter of putin's spokespersons meets with this gulf. who said that it's not the matter of the kremlin, but that of the prison authorities. he also said that it's unheard of in the history of the, the russian core that are for insults or will come and treats the russian inmates say, here in prison. also, there's been an outcry from european officials to release alex a violently unconditionally. and so that the presidential spokesperson said that the case of the violate is russia's internal affair and has to do with the russian prison system and has nothing to do with any foreign country. not to give you a little bit of a bad grounds about alexander violating why he's in prison in iraq right now. while he was found

these shootings are a vile act that compound the fear that asian-americans face every day. and then the democratic congressman saying, an attack on asian-american women is about racism and shows how u.s. demonization fuels violence at home. we can win the 21st century without replicating paradigms of division and hate. marco rubio, the senator from florida, saying the increase in violence is alarming, vile, and un-american. congresswoman michelle steele saying this is senseless and tragic. hate crimes against asian-americans must stop. i'm praying for these victims and families and our pacific islander community. just some of the reaction on capitol hill, highlights this issue, the rise in anti-asian attacks. regional lines, if you're on the eastern or the different time zones, and that special line for asian-american and pacific islanders, 202-748-8002. with that, your thoughts. james in new york, good morning. >> caller: good morning. my thoughts and prayers are with my asian brothers and sisters. i'm a 74-year-old black man, a vietnam vet. history doesn't always repeat i

he's just a vile, vile, evil man.lantation owner and slave owner, his most infamous act came at the battle of ft. pillow. four soldiers massacred a bunch of union troops, many of them black and many of whom were attempting to surrender when they were killed. the confederacy then abandoned the position that night. they didn't even need to hold the fort. it was an atrocity, and it was recognized as such at the time. this is from the "new york herald" on april 14th, 1864. tales of a horrific massacre, the dead and wounded burned by confederate force, reported massacre of the white black troops. it reverberated as one of the most vile, despicable war crimes of the civil war. but nathan bedford forrest wasn't done yet. after the confederacy was defeated, he escaped justice. he was not imprisoned or executed. he went back to civilian life and became an early member of an organization you've perhaps heard of, the ku klux klan. in fact forrest was the first and most notorious grand wizard of the kkk which dedicated itself to

of the n—word, use of the word, you know, i can't say these words but, you know, vile racist terms beingoffensive comments, and homophobia as well. and it worries me sick because i think sellafield is a ticking time bomb because of the cultural issues, and no one seems to be holding them to account. allison mcdermott�*s contract was terminated days after she submitted an internal report critical of sellafield's hr department. she is now taking the organisation to court alleging she was dismissed for whistle—blowing. sellafield is contesting the case. the vast site in cumbria deals with some of the most hazardous raw materials in existence. the worry, from people we have spoken to, is that the culture here at sellafield can make it difficult for workers to come forward if they have concerns. and that, they say, could have a knock on effect on safety. at once the largest nuclear waste site in western europe. an internal staff survey commissioned by sellafield in 2018, and seen by the bbc, showed that 54% of employees agreed they can speak out about doing the right thing without fear of rep

one thing to have enough of the vaccine sitting in viles.ther thing to make sure that it can get into enough americans. if production will be that much faster than they thought and fixed enough of the bottlenecks we will have enough for every american by the end of may we better have a distribution system to get it into enough americans by the end of may to, well, change everything. i want to know more about that and this part of it. president biden said that in his first 100 days he wanted the u.s. to add minister 100 million vaccination doses. 37 days in we are over halfway there and well over 50 million doses administered. it does look like we are ahead of the target to hit that. language side the 100 million doses. he wanted all elementary schools reopened. there is a lot of concern if for what it will take to get schools to the point where they do meet the criteria. the money will help, but that is a way off and hasn't passed the senate yet. so teachers and school staff have been worried about what it means. everybody agrees it is an im

does every hour a new truck of viles come people are kind of fascinated how you can do 100 million of anything in a month. >> to be clear, if you look at the four steps, jim, of the manufacturing and delivery process and by that i mean manuf manufacturing the vaccine i itself that's what we're focused on then filling the vaccine in the container, whether prefilled syringe or vile. our focus is on the first and because of the large scale infrastructure we put in place, we were able to take both j&j and astrazeneca's product, tech transfer it into our facility and be able to scale it at a very significant level to produce that kind of through put. >> i know astrazeneca, there were several articles saying there is an abundance of but that's not in our country, that's over in europe, correct >> that's correct. >> don't really understand that, frankly. just seems -- i guess that's administration, right? they're not administering it correctly. >> well, i think it's a very complex issue, jim, when you look at the regulatory approval, so that will come in its time. >> the are now, something c

and stiff competition from the administration but one of the most vial of the things they have -- vile of the things they have done. and it should be on love of children rather than political points or red meat for the republican base. let me say one thing about asylum seekers. four years ago, around now, then president putal muslim ban in place. the same women who marched the day after the inauguration saw the power of their presence and many of them marched to the airports and to other venues to protest the muslim ban. but not only them, they were an example to others. and you saw an outpouring of disapproval of what the president was doing. we then had a session here, couldn't be a hearing because we were in the minority, but we had a meeting about asylum seekers and proposition to the muslim ban. we had the military come and say how could they do this. we hired interpretors who were in iraq and afghanistan that they could come to the united states and hurting our security. there were diplomats, 1,000 signed a letter who testified it was bad for our national security from a diplomat

so to juxtapose our lives is sort of the hate, and the vileness seems to be deliberating out there in the word seek to violence and if you watch the video you see them go into aggressive assaults it goes in a hard-core violence and then finally i think these things escalate, i really do. >> but, used to tell stories as a journalist, but now you choose filmmaking, do you feel like the new approach gives you more freedom >> virtually every moment you get a point in your career where you hit a ceiling, if you're asian-american you get so far, were given a place at the table but we want the big promotion, we don't find the pot of gold . >> the bamboo ceiling hit the ceiling, or at least we suspect we had it. when i was a journalist i started to feel undervalued and underutilized and i was [ inaudible ] to get a buyout. the other element to that was there was no creative fulfillment. when i left the paper it seemed to be a natural extension to going into film. >> please don't apologize, i wish the show was an hour so we could keep on talking, but i do feel like the psa is so powerful and w

, grotesque racism warning of more so-called caravans at the border and allowing trump to repeat a vileast night when referring to the pandemic even as anti-asian hate crime, especially against women have skyrocketed. this is a time when we need to support, stand in solidarity with the asian-american community and condemn virulent racists who repeat vile slurs that lead to hate crimes, instead of giving them air time on television. and we need to call them what they are, hate crimes. and as for the gop and fox news, when ever someone politely suggests wearing mask or taking the vaccine or you know, tells them to stop being racist, they need to stop acting like they have been kicked >> in the groin. >> seth: this has been "a closer look." ♪ we'll be right back with dr. anthony fauci. ♪ ♪ >> announcer: for more of seth's closer looks, be sure to subscribe to "late night" on youtube.

merck will expand the production of johnson and johnson's vaccine and putting those vaccines into the viles. while these companies are competitors most of the times, they are undertaking war-time effort to come to the table for the good of the country. as many of you know when we arrived on january 20, we learned from johnson and johnson they were behind on manufacturing. we immediately got to work to fix this and accelerate the process and think about big. we set out to do two things, increase the production of the vaccine itself as the drug substance and senged, expand our ability to safely transfer the vaccine from drug manufacturing plants into the little vials that are shipped all over the country a process called fill and finish. the biden administration agreed to initial investment of more than $100 million that will help expand the drug substance manufacturing and convert a merck plan to perform the production of the vaccine. with the encouragement and support, johnson and johnson agreed to take several steps to increase production of the vaccine in the u.s. they are now operating 2
