either in a very warm welcome to you thanks for joining us here on r.t. international. unprecedented and harsh that's what the kremlin has branded pressure on countries to stop using russia's sputnik vaccine the remarks came after the us health department published a report openly admitting attempts to dissuade brazil from using the russian chap. has the story we've all heard the bat back door deals to secure that shipment countries trampling each other to get those precious japs these seas the 1st start we've heard of backdoor deals to deny people a vaccine the u.s. department of health health and human services boosting that it had denied hundreds of millions of brazilians jab. the office of global affairs used diplomatic relations in the americas region to mitigate efforts by states including cuba venezuela and russia who are working to increase their influence in the region to the detriment of u.s. safety and security examples include using the office of global affairs health a touchy office to persuade brazil to reject the russian copied 19 vaccine and that is what is essentially a grand perversion of simple human decency and moral values they argue that brazilians vaccinating themselves with a russian vaccine is apparently a threat to u.s. security they are explaining how they just say that it is let me put that in perspective for you we will see and hear of the daily death tallies right so one in 5 of those deaths are happening right now in brazil 20 percent of all couvade deaths worldwide are in brazil and these people a boosting that they help prevent inoculations in brazil with one of the objectives the and scientifically proven most efficient vaccines in the world these are the same people who claim that lives in vaccines are above politics and accused russia of undermining inoculation efforts it is very clear that russia is up to its all tricks. and in doing so is potentially putting people at risk by spreading disinformation about vaccines well darden u.s. department of health and human services who feel safe and your organization behind sputnik the has come out and said what any reasonable person already knew this is a pandemic that is threatening and killing people equally these. as a threat to mankind it is above politics saving and we're talking here about millions of lives is paramount but the degree of cynicism and double standards here is astonishing to see when it's about saving american lives they'll take all the help that they can get remember the russian planes carrying aid to new york last year oh they accepted that no threat to national security there apparently but brazilians vaccinating themselves with sputnik god forbid no no no america current allow brazilians to do that some western states are trying not only to politicize the humanitarian aspect of the fight against coronavirus but also to take advantage of the pandemic to punish governments they don't like i'm not sure i entirely agree with the russian foreign minister yes they are politicizing vaccination politicising lives that's obvious but i'm not entirely sure that the countries that the u.s. doesn't like that it's them that are being punished it's the people that they're friends with brazilians who will potentially not receive a life saving job so we're fishes in washington can go to sleep at night feeling good and safe well despite its admission in the report the us health department says it can't comment on vaccines not approved by the f.d.a. and cannot dissuade countries from using drugs they themselves authorized spinny though is still awaiting approval in brazil. you know millions of brits in need of hospital treatment have been forced to wait for months because of the covert crisis and you can hospitals are now warning they could start to cut more services unless they get additional funding. new data reveals 4600000 people were on n.h.s. waiting lists at the end of january the highest number since records began in 2007 or than 300000 have already waited for a year or more to begin hospital treatment gregory metcalf is one such patient who's been waiting a long time for surgery i'm very much jessica ok and because obviously and if even when sure the dislocation is very serious injury on page bill so to have gone through so many like even more so now probably the thoughts of this is very physically painful but i was very shocked as well to find out about the surgeries well because hope is. all types that are not life threatening i really don't know of a donor who's just asked the employees of us. local authorities or the hospital nobody seems to know i feel like the government needs to get more than not out the pocket or. just obviously needs lots of money for the people on waiting lists for the surgeries some are specifically meaning covert patients some more talking about people like myself that are waiting surgeries and all kinds of medical 'd attention surgeries that what we've got in them at the moment and it just management says that hospice need $8000000000.00 pounds of additional funding to cover the day to day running costs without this the n.h.s. may have to further postpone non-life threatening operations despite the name though an n.h.s. doctor told his wife or the delays will lead to a necessary suffering and even death. who knows how much they're spending they say it's something like 27000000000 on on the testing which many people think in many cases is just money that is not not being spent wisely and we have to catch up with these medical issues i mean speak with personal issue i have a negro problem from a long term injury by my operation that is suspended at the moment there's much to catch up on and on though people say well these are not life threatening in many cases a lot of the things that are being postponed are not immediately life threatening but if you're not detecting cancers if you're not having these operations they become life threatening down the line we have less spent any population i think this is true than almost any other western european country. and that's one of the reasons were announced that the disaster at the start of the current crisis you know when the n.h.s. started it was the world's 1st solar hate for health service creature went to the. point of contact and that was a. thing and most people want to see that continued as much as possible but the reality is it hasn't kept pace and another reality is that people who just kind of. thought it's all ok because it's never really broken like this before but i mean now the cracks definitely are exposed and something really has to be done i think as a 3rd wave of coronavirus infections sweeps across the european union forcing countries to tighten restrictions the w.h.o. was published a critical report highlighting floors in europe's handling of the pandemic it has revealed that our existing health financial economic and social care system is square ill prepared and poorly equipped to address sars corvee to effectively. not a lot of surprises in this world health organization report really the ultimate takeaway is europe wasn't ready wasn't prepared for a health emergency of the size and scale of the covert 19 pandemic if we look back through the last year it's been pretty clear from the offing we saw hospitals overwhelmed pushed to capacity and beyond in the very beginning of the pandemic and right now we're seeing continuing problems when it comes to vaccine rollout across the european union the report does highlight that inequality in society exacerbated problems but again this is not something we haven't really heard before we calling on government leaders and international organizations to fix the fractures in our societies and stop turning a blind eye to the conditions that allowed the novel coronavirus to inflict such grave damage on the world another issue raised in this w.h.o. report is a lack of a common approach when it comes to tackling health issues and yet again we do have clear examples of the us if we look back to the beginning of the pandemic we saw e.u. nations going head to head with one another fighting it out to 4 who got the p.p.a. who got the masks and well we've seen since then the united kingdom and the european union clashed over vaccine distribution and then just this last weekend 6 e.u. member states signed a letter saying that they weren't happy with the way the vaccine was being distributed throughout the block saying that the current system left things open for backdoor deals. if the system were to carry on it would continue creating and exacerbating huge disparities among member states by this summer whereby some will be able to reach herd immunity in a few weeks while others would like far behind ultimately though this report points out what went wrong and highlights that not a great deal has been done to stop the same mistakes being made again for those who have been watching what's going on with the european union when it comes that this pile demick thing quite a few people would be saying yeah we know. tensions flared between police and demonstrators for a 4th consecutive day in the u.k. over a recently proposed protest legislation and the bill was introduced after police had dispersed a vigil for sarah everett last saturday i was flouting covert restrictions the $33.00 row was found dead earlier this month a police officer since been charged with a murder the new legislation gives more powers to police during demonstrations it allows them to impose noise in time limits on rallies so far it's only served to fuel tensions you can home secretary though defended the bill saying it will prevent more lies from being lost during the pandemic. and speaking to arties going underground show us actress rose mcgowan said that new protests legislation should not be passed during a pandemic you can watch starts interview in full on r.t. throughout the day here's a preview the way credit jane and her. police force have handled violence against women and violence against our ever art is violence against humans taken from assuming you're probably the man in natural cast as well i would hope so it is isn't hunching of all it's unconscionable or it's wrong and what boris johnson is trying to pass under the guise of coronavirus is absurd it's taking only absurd and we all can see what it is it is about keeping women in their games down so we know that crimes against women in general aren't taken seriously and instead of cleaning up our own house crescent the next response is to connect more violence against well in fairness to the british government which denies its police bill is anything to do it that she she said that while the government says there's going to be an inquiry and she said it's easy for people in their armchairs to watch the pictures being beamed around the world and not realize and understand what was really going on there. well i personally have been and involved intro checks where the police should crack down heavily and i understand what's going on there and sometimes the camera does show exactly what's going on in this case there's always some reason to sustain that and they slash certain like the reality is i should be able to walk down the street and i could get arrested for that certainly but nobody's allowed to greet me in sexual harassment and suddenly does not just when it's are lots. of folks book executives been caught on tape raising alarm over the amount of power the tech job wields this was in an undercover video released by the investor could vest because of journalism group project veritas and in it facebook's global planning lead bernie thomas even suggested that the authority should be intervening . in the new system. it's a better thing for the world might look. forward to when they ready would ready to . be made that here he will kill you through the one who has the ruler of 2000000 he. was robbed of a group of the issues. that's true worth the holy shit so. he should not have power over g. . that is the. we asked facebook to comment on that project veritas we will keep you updated if and when they respond meanwhile distrust in big tech appears to be rising 15 states and territories joined an anti-trust lawsuit filed against google and facebook by texas it accuses them of manipulating the online ad market something google has denied facebook is has around 2800000000 active users that makes it the largest social network in the world it's also acquired a number of pretty big companies over the years that include whatsapp oculus and instagram the company's revenue last year was roughly $85000000000.00 it's currently worth over $720000000000.00 we spoke big tech we talked to michael rect involved. so that they know what kind of power these big tech companies wield and facebook in particular are going to case wields enormous influence and power over politics they had a tremendous impact over the american. presidential election and they they intend to continue to have that kind of power over the political system so it tells me that if insiders know about this and they're contrasting it out right then it's certainly the case and this is not some sort of a conspiracy theory that's an open conspiracy to him to effect enormous control of the population. still to call the what might feel like a blast from the past u.s. intelligence alleges russia and the 2020 lection a claim the kremlin. is groundless will have to the brits. seem wrong. to me. to see out. and engage with. find themselves. we choose to look for common ground. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the dares thinks. we dare to ask. or come back let's turn to events in russia where the security services have detained an islamic state supporter on suspicion of planning to carry out a terrorist attack in the south of the country here's a video that's been released by the federal security service it shows how the suspect was detained the man in question later admitted planning to carry out an attack on a local shopping center officers discovered bomb making components and an islamic state flag in the apartment where he was arrested. it's a new administration but the same old meddling allegations yet another u.s. intelligence report claims russia tried to sway a u.s. election but the same report also says there was no evidence of vote manipulation moscow denies the allegations the documents prepared by the u.s. intelligence community is another set of groundless accusations against our country of interfering in american internal political processes washington continues to practice megaphone diplomacy with the main goal to maintain a negative image of russia. that report claims russia carried out an influence campaign to denigrate joe biden to support donald trump undermine election confidence and stoke social divisions it didn't however provide any concrete evidence to back up those allegations media reports citing official sources say the white house is considering more russian sanctions than for a former vice chair of the terror in party says we've heard this all before it's just like with any advertising or just like when you have when you have any movie once you have a bunch of fans of a movie right no matter how stupid the movie is if there's a lot of people who like that movie what do you do you have a sequel and when you have a drama there was like this laughably stupid in 2016 but a lot of people got into it and your goal is to you know sell some silly story to the american public of course you would have a sequel not just that's just basic kind of storytelling marketing commonsense it would be the 1st time something that they've done repeatedly that when they want to you know either either create a direct conflict with a country or to increase military spending with the threat of a conflict with other countries they're going to try to vilify that country realistically politically speaking if that evidence was really strong and really present that's exactly the type of thing and they would want to bring to the attention the american people not because they have the interest the american people in their hearts but because they could use that as an excuse to create fear you know raise taxes to get the way to get in front on civil liberties while it theoretically could be classified the the chances that that type of information would be classified though it basically 0. the debate over whether to give up eating meat or not to seem to us states going head to head in the press corps as aggressively declared a pro meet day after neighboring colorado in a statement create one. there is a right way of life or perhaps out of. your of your ward for you to be you are right you would be underway with security or you were part of a it's part healthy. also it's like the street you're our state very part of. colorado said may 20 years would be me sounds day and prescott responded by declaring it meets on the menu day and this guy states carnivorous culture war was a joy is this and a much here it's a competition i just ate a peanut butter sandwich as a tribute to pete these guys need to settle deadbeats. why if people continue until like children. some people who are vegan or vegetarian are so heavy handed and so obstreperous is sometimes rude and we're creating this this battle between mediators and. those who aren't and it's sad how do you explain to somebody whose family is in the cattle business that there were people who want to put them out of business there is such contempt between carnivores and vegetarians if i go out to eat i say i. have and they see what you're not you're not one of those v good things are you you're not a vegetarian. and immediately i go through the question and answer with surgery what are you going don't you know you need protein. in a year of lockdowns in isolation the virtual world may appear to be filling the gap in people's social lives but research from stanford university suggests that may actually have the opposite effect with too many online calls leaving you feeling somewhat drained political takes a closer look so this video calls they pretty much old going out well together during the time that x. amazing that the internet hasn't broken the law i think you have to break the internet one year down the line and the novelty of secret is that online called princeton's has worn pretty thin and this meditation is great for bringing us a sense of relaxation. in town. to stern and just quickly by breathing and. after analyzing the impact that video conferencing and on mental well sampling reste at that point 0. so surprise surprise down wins we have found that our own long b.t.o. rules make you feel mentally and physically exhausted oh oh. how did. the reception that sound bed explain that this is because of be expressive close stuff. the cognitive load being basically constrains and increased. cell evaluation after being forced to see your digital reflects in staring back. 6 good looks to. a. 3rd stared at. what you. didn't touch it was clear to us was tried it was you're not going to do was to as it's no wonder requests for plastic surgery won't be there since the pandemic began xoom thanks one look like a potato. axe when will the only living thing that media roles are abdal times out there also ravaging writing. and america will decimate that one hour of video conference was dreaming images between 180 and 1000 grams of scene you know it also you are not well needs and wants at our end to end aaron hernandez around the size of an i do not mean that is a loaded and then you'd see what does not stand around. no that can't be such a vice chair she. read the stuff they noticed reagan don't understand are now well then maybe it's not that much when you take into account and since 3 of viral dundas that we get. mr parton i believe you have a filter turned on in the video settings. you might want to pick your bind up with the new me george i can hear you i think it's a filter it and there's a no no how to remove it not my sister she's trying to but all i'm required to call were 3 months on here live on it's not i'm not a child. what do you think you'll see me with the cat filter on reading the news just to fill in is an email if you would i'm interested so for now i'll do that with more and half an hour. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that. we are told the deal jase capital it right investigation is one of the largest in american history the f.b.i. has made it clear it will not leave one stone unturned to prosecute what it calls domestic terrorists all of us want to answer surrounding this horrific event but is this also a purging of trump loyalists. i'm after a town sr what you can have a lot of them a vision of going underground as britain's boris johnson government tries to pass a law that cracks down on protests the bill was recommended by the boss of britain's biggest police force president dick who has self is facing calls to quit because of how she responded to one of her police officers allegedly killing sarah ever audit in london protests and commemorations were violently put down by dick's offices joining me now via skype is one of the 21st century's most well known activists rose mcgowan rose thanks so much for coming back on i should say the police do say that the crackdown was because of coronavirus but you've been campaigning against male violence against women for forever what have you made made of the scenes coming from london the police breaking up the demonstrations. the way tresidder jane and her. police force have handled violence against women and violence against our ever art is violence against humans because i'm assuming you're probably man enough for a test as well i would hope so it is it's unconscionable it's unconscionable it's wrong and what boris johnson is trying to pass under the guise of coronavirus isn't service taking lee absurd and we all can see what it is it's about keeping our women in taken his down so we know that crimes against women in general aren't taken seriously and instead of cleaning up our own house crescents yanks response is to connect more violence against well in fairness to the british government which denies its police bill is anything to do it that she she said that while the government says there's going to be an inquiry and she said it's easy for people in their armchairs to watch the pictures being beamed around the world and not realize and understand what was really going on there. well i personally have bank involved in trying chess with the police of crack down heavily and i understand what's going on there and sometimes the camera does show exactly what's going on in this case i'm not sure whether you may have seen some of the newspapers in the media here and the protests have occurred around the world partly because of the killing what have you made of it i mean there were some comments that people were talking about sensible shoes and so on in relation to this tragic killing in south london do you think the victim survivors shaming has gone away. or shaming is absolutely not i mean i'm sure he's the turned a democratic candidate every day 1st there's always some free.
