nonsense is how the kremlin fresh claims of. this time to supposedly discredit american vaccines in favor of russian show. with global stories and the international insights this is moscow my name's colin brights just turned 10 in the evening on tuesday 9 pm in germany that's where we're going to start with some breaking news german language sister channel. is filing a lawsuit against the german tabloid built after it published a piece accusing stuff of spying for the russian government correspondent. bring us up to date with developments. well what's led this newspaper to accused of spying well let's understand on the other hand why r t is suing the german tabloid bill now ah. just want to make sure that everyone gets to the bottom of this and understands what's going on because the headlines in build are indeed since ational but again let's all get to the bottom of this to understand why our t's suing build we can simply look at the headline of the article that came out and also one of the 1st paragraphs the headline says i had to spy on a life saying of all i was forced to spy on election of ali and one of the top paragraph says the r t. channel the which is sister branch in berlin was used by the russian government to spy on the kremlin clear critical lexy in the volley along with its german 'd 'd staff members who are german nationals and we have to understand that this whole story is about the times when opposition blogger like seeing the volley was treated in the sheraton hospital in berlin and the so-called whistleblower is a filmmaker who worked for r.t. who had worked for t. for several years there in berlin and he's providing screenshots of his chats with the r.t. german management and there are several accusations there what you want to hear and read about though in that article is proof of where is the russian government what's its role here why is it called spike but what you get instead is accusations of starting a secret chat and telegraph about the assignment then. with the assignment to take pictures outside the charity hospital namely pictures of the police and possibly even germans germany's secret service or. other security personnel that was there also an assignment to try and get inside the show at the hospital. to get pictures from there possibly see what kind of people get in get out there get some information about how alexina volley is being treated also this man is talking about discovering a van with the ruptly logo outside the share of the hospital but ruptly is artie's video agency and we remember that what they do is they provide video streaming for its clients and. the sheraton hospital where he was treated this was something that grabbed international attention at the time he was one of the top newsmakers and then like i'm saying you want to read the part in that article where there is proof that this is buying this was something that was ordered by the russian government but you don't see it and then when i was actually talking and looking at the reaction from our. management in berlin and they're saying guys if you look at the bottom of it this is pure elements of investigative german journalism and the assignments that we were giving daniel. that is the name of the person who used to work for a team who was giving all these assignments this is the regular work that we do and according to german law. for now it protects journalists that are investigating stories that are of public interest clearly at the time the story of alexina volley was of public interest it was making global headlines so then again you think what is wrong with all these things and where is the actual proof that these orders were coming from the russian government or whether there's anything illegal in that so it's this wording it's disapproved it's the tone that artie's on happen it's the nuts and bolts the most people the audience is just really get to say and how we get the news together a lot of it as you know is it's. the waiting game you're sitting outside in a press pack waiting for those pictures waiting for that story to happen it doesn't just land on it up or a sensational stuff makes for good copy but it's all in the wording as you say thank you very much for that let's get some thoughts on this now afshin rattansi who is the host of r.t. u.k. he's going underground welcome back you've been in this game as long as i have many different outlets you know what it's like to try and get difficult stories to where do you think these spying allegations being made by build against r.t. have any basis. not nearly as long as you have had a 1000000 in moscow i mean we're all spies are we this is incredibly serious actually. i mean the idea of build magazine all magazines are good as well as it could have been frankfurter allgemeine zeitung which was the editor famously said he'd been working with the cia whilst pretending to be a newspaper editor for years the idea of build magazine accusing one of the largest television stations on earth of being some sort of spying organization is quite something i'm going to remember the editor just the other day was accusing china of a virus and deliberately sending mosques around in some sort of what appeared to be some kind of conspiracy films have been made about build this of $990.00 film called the man inside about the ethical way that their magazine works they are the most reprimanded magazine in german publishing according to the german official press regulator i think what's interesting about this case and of course you know we don't we may not know all the ins and outs is if i was the editor of build i would be very concerned about a law case because this magazine is notorious for breaching german press standards and now it's going to be in court accusing journalists or people purporting to be journalists stringers for r.t. as spies this is very much in a kind of narrative of nato nations we've seen it here of course in britain and the build peace specifically accuses the arty stuff of acting on the orders of the russian government and there's only a couple of degrees of separation between the people making the production call and the people in charge of the country do you expect bill to provide anything solid to back that up or is it just doing what tabloids do. well of buildings like reuters or the b.b.c. according to recent reports there have been 5 eyes network of u.s. intelligence to back them up in court i think the important thing about journalism and to realize here or to me is i think i think i have to say you know it's it's a truism that most journalists seem to forget in so-called mainstream media it's not a case of organizations telling their journalists what what to write and what to say obviously r.t. is funded by mandate of the russian duma the fact is if you're a journalist and see what you do how you work if they like it. if they like what you're doing you do well that's a similarly organization no journalist should ever think they are truly independent of who backs them so then we have to look at build and its connections with with nato links and why this would suit the organizations linked to build these kinds of things if they came out in court i think will be interesting to build readers perhaps as to why tabloid magazine focused on celebrities similar tamia slee arguably not only mystifies what is happening in today's germany it mystifies what's happening geopolitically to benefit powerful elites it's a part of its complaint being quick to point out build our own problem snooping alexina valmy posting pictures from inside the charity hospital for example but given what r.t. is as he explained there should more care have been taken or is that just a bit too much apocryphally at the level of build. well i mean i don't know why these particular text messages even your real hopefully text messages are going underground and telegram messages and signal and god knows what else that we use will not see the light of day no journalists are always talking all the time with sources desperately trying to get that scoop to question more the difference between our t's questioning more it relates to geopolitical events and power battles that really do concern life or death on planet earth not celebrities and ways of mystifying population so they focus on information that allows powerful leaders to do what they what they want and you know the point that the the point that the press or produce press council the 3rd all reprimands are from build so i think here it's a very shaky ground for for the magazine and you know. it's an international broadcast it's not a tabloid newspaper in in germany and we face these kinds of threats against us from media that purports to be independent but actually we soon discover is allied to power structures that are redolent of the so-called cold war so i think it'll be very interesting to follow the story anyway very something we're going to get used to as they were always going to have that extra level of scrutiny not afford it or anybody else actually very much looking forward to the next edition of going underground thanks for joining us this evening there. next a french school girl whose allegations against history teacher summer party led to a deadly online campaign against him and submitted that she made the whole thing up but he was murdered by a terrorist last october child of 2 penske has more on the case and the revelations from the 13 year old girl. i know what that entailed and what sparked all of this is a class that he taught which was to do a civics getting the children to discuss issues in france as part of that class he decided to show the controversial images of the prophet mohammed now that sparked a chain of events that led to his death it started with a teenage girl a teenage girl who admits she lied about what she said she went home that day and said to her father that she had been asked to leave the class because she was a muslim and when she disagreed with the teacher she had been suspended from his class the fall though was furious as you can imagine called to the school and demanded that samuel patti be struck off the teaching staff there to offer him to resign when that didn't work he started an online campaign which became a hate campaign towards samuel party describing the teachers being discriminatory against his daughter what's now emerged is that the 13 year old fabricated all of that she was sent in his class on the day that she showed those controversial images she hadn't been asked to leave because she was a muslim and she hadn't been suspended for the fact that she'd spoken back to the teacher she was in fact trying to cover up 1 for the fact that she had been playing truant that day so her father wouldn't find out a lawyer says that the things just spiraled out of control and she was lost in that . she lied she shouldn't have been she deeply regrets she never wished for mr death she never called his murder she never to be spilled beheaded looking for the public to know this 13 year old girl bears responsibility for her but not for the death of samuel patti. well the lawyer for some. parties families say that they thought convinced about this they say that the evaluations that she gave that she was a spokesperson for the individuals in the class are just not satisfactory everything in the investigation showed very early that she lied she was a spokes person a want of lies have events that never happened this explanation does not convince me and makes me rather angry because the facts are serious here tragic but it's also had much much wider consequences here in france it once again raised tensions between the muslim community and of the communities in the government here in france we saw in the weeks that followed his death that there was a crackdown or mosques that would be deemed to have been radicalized there was a crackdown on muslim association france and that then led to diplomatic tensions between france and some muslim majority countries france even then forward legislation that it was working then decided to incur late watered happened with some real party and that draft legislation which is now being passed by the national assembly and will soon be discussed by the senate is looking at promoting the republican values of france but many people see it as being in anti muslim law so you know this was one lawyer one lie that not only left to teach it day but there's really uncovered a hornet's nest of problems here in france we spoke with from space journalist and political commentator and others are both moto she thinks the schoolgirl father bears a large degree of responsibility for what happened to samuel party. i think she also wrote some responsibility i think what's really interesting is that i think her father consulate quite a great deal of it 1st of all because the daughter knew exactly what would work with her father she knew that her father and a word had sympathy for the people who denounced us from her for buying and turns she put things to him so that he would literally erupt and it's more a question of what is acceptable and why it would. be so easy to be accepted and then whenever people said but she's lying he called and this lot of i think you know at the very least that child sponsibility which is not nil is shared with her father and the girl whose father started the process towards a modern that girl is still in school and we don't want to know her name i don't want her to be punished in in such a horrendous way but i think that there's a kind of cowardice on one side and. not on the other. the head of the european commission so she's become a scapegoat for europe's extremely slow covert inoculation right and lay the blame on the vaccine maker astra zeneca reporting next to his peter all of. well the e.u. commission are not happy at all with vaccine manufacture astra zeneca care it's got to do with deliveries of the jobs to the e.u. as a bloc they were told that for the 1st quarter of 2021 they'd receive 100000000 doses they have received 10000000 doses even i can do the mathematics there 90 percent is the shortfall the e.u. commission has come in for a lot of criticism over failures in logistics and planning in its vaccine program underlying the e.u. commission president though is saying that astra zeneca needs to bear some of the responsibility as well we see esther's any case delivering below 10 percent of what had been contracted for the 1st quarter we are tired of being the scapegoat the european commission president did say that we could see repeats of vaccines being blocked from leaving the european union we saw this last week when italy stopped a shipment of around 250000 doses of the astra zeneca job for heading to australia the australian trade minister called that vaccine protectionism what we don't want to see is a repeat of the well scramble we saw for resources at the beginning of the pandemic where everybody was trying to outbid everybody else when it came to mosques and p.p. and everything else on the line though has said yes there have been problems with the way the vaccine program is being rolled out there's been problems with the way the e.u. commission has handled things we aren't where we want to be in combating the virus we were late in granting authorization we were to optimistic about mass production and maybe we also took for granted that the doses orders would actually arrive on time we must ask ourselves why and what lessons we can draw from it even when you have vaccines there's still problems in austria they've suspended the use of one of the astra zeneca. up to one woman died and another person was taken seriously ill after they received it it's until a full investigation can be carried out as it stands at the moment they say there is no direct link between them having the vaccination and becoming ill but they want to make sure that that's definitely not the case when it comes to getting the vaccines into the country though there is one of the avenue that the european union could be looking at not importing them from the united states but in order to do that they're going to have to convince washington to overturn their own protectionist rules that don't allow vaccines to be exported outside of the u.s. . well still to come starting with vaccines the kremlin dismisses u.s. claims of the shot to disinform ation as nonsense as washington accuses russian websites of spreading lies you've got more on that for you in just a bit. join me every thursday on the alex salmond sure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. look at russia's dismissed claims of spreading disinformation about u.s. vaccines calling them nonsense the state department earlier flagged for russian web sites supposedly trying to discredit the pfizer intimate jobs in favor of sputnik feed. the wild changed big time over the last year but some things stay the same remember a russian mad loz well that our global engagement center has identified 4 russian online platforms that are directed by russian intelligence services and spread disinformation about 2 of the vaccines that have now been approved by the f.d.a. in this country we are aware of it we are monitoring it and we are taking steps to address back a just in time to wage oh vaccine war because while hacking the bit passe and electing foreign presidents is a bit wild being that not vaccines are where it's at in 2021 and when it became clear that american scientists might now vaccine the russian ones the kremlin bolts had no choice but to raise that disinform in head again. the emphasis on denigrating pfizer is likely due to its status as the 1st besides it wouldn't be to see mass use resulting in a greater potential threat to sputniks market dominance who said a global pandemic couldn't be politicized now some would say these madness a bit late to the game i mean sputnik freeze already registered in around 40 countries many of which didn't even consider pfizer not because they'd been brainwashed by mean anti pfizer notes left by undercover agents but because pfizer is logistically a much trickier vaccine it used to fall apart if it wasn't kept in specialized freezers minus 17 degrees celsius that's now been improved to minus 25 while sputnik v chills out to plus 8 and is around hof the price and then there are countries like iran which own exactly buddy buddy with the us so why buy their fraxinus when there's another $1.00 on the market without the political trauma logical right well unfortunately political games and logic on friends and paranoia is alive and well it's nonsense russian special services have nothing to do with any criticism against vaccines if we treat every negative publication against the sputnik the vaccine as a result of efforts by american special services then we will go crazy because we see it every day every hour and in every anglo-saxon media the wall street journal's resurrected descend from ation for the sake of a few critical articles but just imagine what all means over madly as it would have had twin vent if had got the onslaught of doubt criticism hate the sputnik the god back in the day the speed of the rollout is a concern for some health professionals it's a new kind of global race that. russia wants to leave there are concerns about its safety with questions of how much of it russia can produce now timing is everything the e.u. struggling with its vaccine rollout paid by production delays and shortages ready to help sputnik 3 so the block started the approval process now 5 in the us who obviously love healthy competition in a way that twitter loves paula or trump loves music is probably looking at bought and seeing a chunk of that money party just fall away never mind that it's for the good of humanity the sputnik vaccine will not go back to russia it will save lives in slovakia i would never give it up our country is a fundamental part of the european union but i cannot turn down a quality vaccine that will save our people because it's made in russia i'm not a murderer you'll hear the good news is that 280000 doses of the vaccine arrived from russia and we need vaccinations 1st as possible under valving more people so yes the pandemic might have changed the walled but some things never change madness and disinform ation back in the game did you miss them. but most of europe still under heavy restrictions due to the pandemic the authorities here in moscow are taking a much lighter touch with most businesses operating as normal and according to the deputy met that stand to the sitting success in countering the pandemic over the past year she spoke to r.t. about lockdowns and the major inoculation campaign that's now happening in the russian capital where it's a minute ago sort of the let's get straight to the main point to vaccinations in moscow so how is it going. at the moment it's going very well with what exactly is going so well we have vaccinated more than 700000 people in moscow since the beginning of the campaign this means that approximately 121-5000 are vaccinated every day depending on the day of the week we always have 3 slots we have made the widest range of possibilities for muscovites in order to choose a vaccination point for everyone out of this total number 300000 are elderly we have vaccinated 93 percent of all nursing home residents with the 1st and the 2nd doses let's go back than to when it all started where matter a year ago when corby was already in moscow how did we 1st understand that the big epidemic would begin in moscow it was clear from the middle of february last year that it would be not only chinese but the whole world this year despite the fact that we have the longest border with china we were not the 2nd country which was infected our turn was later italy and spain were 1st new york next so we could observe how the situation might develop we did have a time lag so we can make the best seas of this time therefore from the beginning of march we're polite to 1st restrictive measures it is clear that moscow is a huge hope with a high population density and that we would not be able to ignore the situation the only question was when and to what extent we would be ready for their arrival of the pandemic can you compare moscow with some metropolis for the better or for the worse. is that if we take comparable things then it could be new york you can compare us with new york did we do better or worse than new york i believe we did well enough compared to new york and to chris tricked of measures on time starting lockdown in march we imposed lockdown in march with $1200.00 cases per day when new york close and $20000.00 infected per day basically it did not make sense because it's not only about introducing a lockdown it's important to make it on time but why did they close why did they choose. these tactic or almost gone russia's chose a different one i mean yes many countries are doing locked and but the problem is that they did not open during lockdown many european countries have chosen a tactic in which they have been close for a 2nd year and therefore any attempt to open up to reduce restrictive measures automatically leads to an explosive increase in cases we had looked in last year on these printing after that there were no locked as in moscow there have been certain reasonable restrictions but despite the whole of europe from september moscow has lived a full life everything worked everything was open and gradually over these 6 months i said population immunity was formed a lot of people have already been ill do you think the 3rd wave will come. when not making predictions for the 1st 2nd and 3rd wave it all understand that today we are ready for any scenario and i certainly hope normality is returning in your part of the world that's it for us for now thanks for watching and we're watching the whole next on r.t. international i'll be back right here to update you on our developing stories from ati in moscow. this is crude oil. so they need to actually physically pump it out of the ground he would have well well well well well. there's a lot of money with the oil and with that comes. a lot of a lot of people from all over the country. if you don't make a $100000.00 of your. position. here maybe. they were told 16 hours a day it's hard work well work it's not easy work and so they want to relieve their stress of how do they relieve their stress these men that outweigh that comfort.
