very good morning to you this is r t international. unprecedented and harshness of the kremlin has branded pressure on countries to stop using russia's sputnik feedback seen those remarks came after the us health department published a report openly admitting attempts to dissuade brazil from using the russian jab. as the story we've all heard the bat deals to secure that shipment countries trampling each other to get those precious japs these seas the 1st start we've heard of back door 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 a 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 qubit 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 ease of 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 dissin from ation about vaccines well darden u.s. department of health and human services who feel safe and your organization behind sputnik v. has come out and said what any reasonable person already knows this is a pandemic that is threatening and killing people equally. this is a threat to mankind it is above politics saving and we're talking here about medians of lives is paramount but the degree of cynicism and double standards here is astonishing 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 of 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 us 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 fishelson washington can go to sleep at night feeling good and safe. but despite his admission in that report the us health department says that it can't comment on vaccines not approved by the f.d.a. and cannot dissuade countries from using the drugs they've authorized themselves but in feed though is still awaiting approval in brazil. millions of brits in need of hospital treatment have been forced to wait for months because of the covert crisis and u.k. hospitals are now warning they could start to cut more services unless they get additional funding you data reveals 4600000 people were on an n.h.s. waiting lists at the end of january the highest number since 2007 and more than 300000 have already waited almost a year to begin hospital treatment gregory metcalf is one of the patients who's been waiting a long time for surgery i'm very much sickle code because obviously and is. sure to dislocation is very serious injury and code. to have gone through so many like 30 even more. so the odds of this is very physically painful but i was very shocked as well to or find out about this surgeries would be caught hold these are all types that are not life threatening. i thought this is a little bit crazy. and it has management says that hospitals need $8000000000.00 pounds of additional funding to cover their day to day running costs without this the n.h.s. may have to further postpone non-life threatening operations gregory metcalf again says the government should start to help people more. i feel like the government needs to get more than not out the pocket out there and just they obviously need 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 awaiting surgeries and all kinds of medical 'd attention surgeries that what we've got in them at the moment but i've not been told when i will have the surgery and i have written an email storage of local and tearfully hillary to ask him if he knows anything about how long the situation is going to be even he gave a very negative reply to a mail there was no information regarding whether it would start again so i really don't know i don't know who's asked. and trees are asked local authorities or the hospital nobody seems to know. as a 3rd wave of corona virus infection sweeps across the forcing countries to tighten restrictions the w.h.o. has published a critical report highlighting flaws in europe's handling of the pandemic it has revealed that our existing health financial economic and social care systems were 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 this 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 pilot demick thing quite a few people would be saying yeah we know. to a developing story coming out of the united states shootings 3 spars have left 8 people killed and several others injured 6 of the dead are women of asian descent to the attacks occurred in northeast atlanta the other in nearby cherokee county the attacks began around 5 pm police have not determined yet a motive in either of the attacks nor whether they were connected the 21 year old man suspected in the shootings has been taken into custody in southwest georgia will bring any updates as they come in. tensions flared between police and demonstrators for a 4th consecutive day in the u.k. over recently proposed protest legislation the bill was introduced after police had dispersed a vigil for sarah for art last saturday that was for flouting toba destructions this 3 year old was found dead earlier in the month a police officer has been charged with her murder new legislation gives more powers to police during demonstrations allowing them to impose noise and time limits on rallies but so far it's only served to fuel tension. defended the bill though saying it's needed to prevent more lives being lost in the pandemic. speaking to artie's going underground show american actress rose mcgowan said that new protests legislation should not be passed during a pandemic you can watch the full interview tomorrow here's a preview. the way cressida dick 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 the man in natural cast 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 one white house is absurd it's taken lee i'm certain and we all can see what it is it's about keeping it going and taken his down so we know that crimes against women in general aren't taken seriously and instead of cleaning up her own house crescents yes 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 well 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 have cracked down 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 shane that they slash their life the reality is i should be able to walk down the street naked i could get arrested for that certainly but nobody's allowed to bring sexual harassment saji does not just when it's all us. the facebook executive has been caught on tape raising the alarm of the amount of power the tech giant wields in an undercover video released by investigative journalism group project veritas facebook's global planning lead but he thomas even suggested or thirty's should intervene. in the new system. it's a better thing for the work. to. be made. here he will kill you through the would be ruler of to believe the. word was out of order was the issue. that's to worthing holy shit. you should not have. just. we have a facebook comment on much project photos video will keep you updated if and when we get a response meanwhile our distrust in big tech appears to be rising 15 states and territories have joined an anti trust lawsuit filed against google and facebook by texas it accuses them of manipulating the online and market something google has denied facebook has around 2800000000 active users making it the largest social network in the world it's also acquired a number of companies over the years including what's up oculus in instagram the company's revenue last year was roughly $85000000000.00 it's currently worth over $720000000000.00 we talked big tech with dr michael rectum about. it shows that they know what kind of power these big tech companies wield and facebook in particular in this case wields enormous influence and power over politics they had a tremendous impact over the american presidential election and. 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 it's not some sort of a conspiracy theory that's an open conspiracy to. to effect enormous control of the population. some news just coming from russia where security services have detained an islamic state supporter on suspicion of planning to carry out a terrorist attack in the south of the country is a video that the f.s.b. has released which they say shows how the suspect was detained the man in question later admitted planning to carry out an attack on a local shopping center security services discovered but making components in an islamic state flag in the apartment where he was arrested. and staying with r.t. more news after this short break. join me every 1st week on the alex salmond shill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. come back a new administration same old meddling allegations though yet another u.s. intelligence report is claiming russia tried to sway a u.s. election but the same report also says there's no evidence of 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. the report claims russia carried out an influence campaign to denigrate joe biden to support donald trump and undermine election confidence while stoking social division 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 are the former vice chair of the libertarian party though says it's nothing not heard 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 that 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 they would want to bring to the attention the american people not because they have the interest the american people and their hearts but because they could use that as an excuse to create fear you know raise taxes to get in 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 that way is basically 0. the debate over whether or not to give up eating meat has seen 2 u.s. states going head to head the press corps aggressively declared a pro meat today after neighboring colorado had announced a meat free one. that's right where life rafts ask. you if you're bored you mean you are right you would be under way security where you work hard for. heart healthy. also this lying in the street here our state park. and. colorado said may 25th would be me sounds day and rescue responded by declaring it meets on the menu day and this guy states carnivorous culture war was a joy is this and a much purity competition i just ate a peanut butter sandwich as a tribute to pete these guys need to settle deadbeats. why have people continue into like children. some people who are v guinn 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. and they say 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 3rd degree what are you going don't you know you need protein. in a year of lockdowns and isolation the virtual world may appear to fill the gap in people's social lives but research from stanford university suggests it may actually have the opposite effect to many online calls leaving people feeling drained it 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 zebras is that online called princeton's has worn pretty thin and this meditation is great for bringing us a sense of relaxation. to stern and just quickly by breathing and. after analyzing the impact that video conferencing on mental well something reste at that

began zoom thanks and one look like a potato. axe when will the only living thing that video rolls are abdal times out there also ravaging writing how do you know vast and america will decimate that one hour of video conferencing or streaming images between 180 and 1000 grams of c.e.o.'s hearing it also you are not well needs and wants at our end aaron hernandez around the size of an i do not

into account and since 3 a viral dundas that we get. mr parton i believe you have a filter turned on in the video settings. you might want to. go buy into the new image or i can hear you i think it's a filter it and that is of no know how to remove it about my sister here she's trying to put off i'm required to go forward with it and that's a mere lie about snuffing i'm not a cat. then you go you're up to date so everything you haven't needed to know about with more and often. debate is is it fair for transforming our plates to compete in women's categories and sports. as a society we have decided to categorize sports based on sex i definitely do not think that it's fair for athletes that when porn is pile article males to compete in the women's category on the run. why do we have gender in sport do you have gender categories in sport because we do treat men and women differently. every single soul beat athletes will we all have biological advantages over each other. are the same use a lot of media and i think friends are the subjects of a little here as a whole to do it. and develop confidence and belief in myself and i've learned the value of hard work and dedication i'm gonna put on doubt. that these men say that they feel like a woman and they will not ever know what it's like to feel the loss of a baby there are many biological free home of these that they will never do they really think this is fair. i just don't believe at. least. while the barbed wire and barricades still throughout the united states capitol there are. seems to be a less members of the national guard patrolling the area we're going to bring you up to date on this continuing story now speaking of our military are new dress code standards making the united states more feminine why does that imply weaker to say we're going to discuss with our $360.00 panel plus the washington post is having to correct a major detail on what they said happened on the december phone call between president trump and a georgia election official but as a correction i am scared out of use in all of these stories with our expert guest on today's edition of a new future right here on r.t. america i. a cable t.v. news host is under fire from some military groups after criticizing the decision to allow pregnant women to serve or to correspondent natasha suite has more on what exactly was said and their reaction to the outspoken commentator fox news host her curls and is known to share his opinions even if they go against the mainstream he's also famous for his criticism of the military and what he calls non-essential wars now he's been found upon by some in the military after saying this so we've got new hair styles in terms of the flight suits pregnant women are going to fight our wars it's a mockery of the u.s. military well china's military becomes more masculine as it's assembled the world's largest mv our military needs to become as joe biden says more feminine whatever feminine means anymore since men and women no longer exist and the hairstyles carlson was referring to was the army's decision in late january to allow women to wear their hair at any length in a ponytail or even opt for buzz cuts the decision often included allowing women and men to wear nail polish but no extreme colors several military groups fired back at carlson highlighting the fact he never enlisted when leader of the u.s. space command calling carlson's show drama. i remind everyone that his opinion which he has a right to is based off of actually 0 days of service in the armed forces pentagon spokesperson john kirby said the department of defense would not be taking advice from a talk show host or the chinese military kirby adding the military is better and more effective when representing all americans but senator ted cruz of texas says he is deeply troubled by the military for igniting political attacks to intimidate those who criticize their policy under the biden administration in a letter to u.s. secretary of defense lloyd austin cruz points out military officials have launched attacks on carlson including through official d.o.d. platforms and accounts while in uniform crews asked for an in person meeting to discuss the matter but carlson isn't the own.
