very sunny saturday afternoon here in moscow welcome to your weekend headlines and . italy's new prime minister says rome will be forced to make its own decision on the use of russia's sputnik v. if it's not approved by the european medicines agency that's off the trust in the astra zeneca shocked in europe has been shaken following recent safety fears here's our correspondent peter on. my draw he's not been long in the job as a prime minister but he's already leading a country that's got an uneasy sense of deja vu at the moment when it comes to cove it 19 it was just over a year ago that italy was at the very tip of the spear when it came to the coronavirus of driving. and now we're seeing intensive care beds in italy filling up at an alarming rate as fears of a 3rd wave have become reality mario draghi has said that he will operate outside the. we use one for all and all for one program if it gets what italy needs let's order sputnik v. and see what happens if europe in coordination especially in health care does not work we have to be ready to act on our own and it's not only me saying this chancellor merkel told me that if the european medicines agency certify sputnik be then ok but if it does not germany will do so itself this is normal pragmatism we have to work on the basis of european unity but if it's not achieved we have to try other ways german chancellor angela merkel has also been talking about vaccines she was speaking after a summit between the federal government here in berlin and the leaders of germany 16 states vaccination dominating those talks and local doctors here will start to be able to give out the jobs in germany at the end from the end of april now under merkel also spoke about russia's sputnik of a vaccine and she said that whether or not it gets approval from the european medicines agency she expects to see it being used here in germany in the fight against corona virus in also sent him stuff and along as fire the russian vaccine is concerned i have held the view for some time that we should use each vaccine that is approved by the european medicines agence singh but if a new such european order were made and i have seen no indication that it will be germany would have to go it alone that is a possibility and this what it would do just. as the head of the berlin branch of the german red cross i hear that many scientists from the berlin charity clinic say that the research documents the studies available about sputnik the give a positive impression facts nation is the only serious way to fight covert 19 and my demands on demand is the following we as the german red cross are impartial and do not interfere in political issues. we would like a non ideological decision on vaccines to be made and that everything that is scientifically based is allowed in germany and on the european market this applies to us and to me and to the sputnik v in this sense there should be no ideological or geopolitical reasons that would dictate selective behavior and my impression is that at least here in germany there is not enough information for scientists to study it properly in recent weeks and days this is change in the most fundamental way and i hear that opinions of many doctors and pharmacists who've been working on this topic including from the eminent sheraton that sputnik very can be trusted and that if the a and relevant departments fail to approve it they will lose people's trust. on friday morning there were reports coming out here in germany that a facility in barton verdant book was being prepared as a potential site to produce sputnik v. in europe that if it gets approval from the european medicines agency now the german chancellor wasn't just talking about the sputnik vaccine while she was speaking to the press on friday evening she also talked about the astra zeneca vaccine said she would take that astra zeneca job herself it's been a tough week for astra zeneca 20 e.u. nations and european nations suspended the use of the vaccine over potential links or concerns over potential links to blood clots in relation to those you've had the job the european medicines agency gave an extensive press conference on thursday in which they said the benefits of taking the astra zeneca vaccine far outweighed any potential risks now that saw a number almost all of those countries that had carried out the suspension of astra zeneca resume using the astra zeneca vaccine however denmark finland norway of all said they're going to hold off reintroducing it norway saying they need more information do you to several serious cases and norway would want to thoroughly review the situation before make a conclusion there is a real mixed state of affairs at the moment with some countries around the world taking strides in leaps said when it comes to vaccinating their populations while others staring down the barrel of a 3rd wave of covert 19. the british government plan to process asylum seekers and overseas territories has sparked anger across her in the isle of man are believed to be 2 options to which migrants could go before potentially being sent back to their original countries local authorities however say they want nothing to do with the scheme although boris johnson is endorsing and defending the idea the objective here. here is to is to save a life and avert human misery because people are crossing the channel who are being fooled who are being combed by gangsters into paying huge sums of money risking their lives people have died beaking this trying to make this crossing and it is a deeply repugnant traffic that we need to stop well that idea was 1st suggested by pretty brutal the home secretary amid the escalating migrant crisis though at the time it was branded a sick joke however that idea has now resurfaced from the prime minister barak johnson well critics have long said that this kind of policy will only make the journey all the more risky and that the government should really be prioritizing legal alternatives and safe passages for migrants to enter the united kingdom but on this latest policy they've branded as exacerbating the hostile environment it is an inhumane paul has said that undermines our nation's proud tradition of providing protection to people fleeing persecution and terror many of whom have gone on to work as doctors and nurses in the n.h.s. these absurd ideas show the government has lost control and all sense of compassion well even the united nations has waded into this latest plan of shipping asylum seekers and refugees to remote areas in exchange for cash by calling it a risk to roading international protection for refugees but at this point we have heard from some of those remote territories british remote territories are saying they're having none of it along with ideas to build a road tunnel under the irish sea or a bridge above it this latest idea simply as to the rich tapers tree of life we're dealing with at present april the 1st isn't until next month but nonetheless the idea is expected to be included in policy papers as of next week as part of a wider shake up of asylum bulls in a post brick set britain so the situation is looking critically bleak for asylum seekers here in. united kingdom in fact right now asylum seekers are being housed in temporary accommodation including former army military barracks that have long been described as a prison like we've seen outbreaks and totally. hygiene facilities as well which is also met huge criticism from charities organizations and the labor party as well it seems as though the case of asylum seekers has long been a thorn in the government's side and so now this latest idea to ship them off to remote territories seems as though the government is changing its tactic of lock them up and throw away the key to out of sight out of mind migration expert at the london school of economics joseph downing believes such an offshore processing plant is the end of the day misguided. he's referencing people trafficking criminal gangs which are important right in people reach nikkei as they are in people reaching the whole of europe but whether sticking with asylum seekers to be processed in all of manageable it will save lives about the g.p.s. there's a logic in terms of trying to trying to stop losing people in the general population right this is basically what's happened in the past 1520 years here in the u.k. with people to sign claims have been rejected the rates of deportation are extremely low is extremely expensive extremely difficult extremely cumbersome and the idea between behind this policy is essentially to isolate people in remote areas easier to survey in an easy to remove now how you would get people from the mainland u.k. to due process also the isle of man without significant issues that's the bit for me that remains to be seen and i don't see there being a clear pathway for the british government to do that. president joe biden and his vice president come out a harris have visited atlanta where a gunman opened fire at a number of mass our partners killing 8 people 6 of the victims were asian women biden and harris denounce the atrocities and while the vice president also gave a view on what's been causing the rising levels of hate against america's asian population for the last year we've had people in positions of incredible power scapegoating scapegoating asian americans people with the biggest puppets spreading this kind of hate. while biden and harris only hinted at who they think is to blame the mainstream media has been openly pointing the finger at the trump administration donald trump didn't pull the trigger in atlanta but donald trump certainly was responsible for the anger in the fear in the suspicion that exists in in great degree in this country much more so than ever in the past. and it's not just the shootings in atlanta that are being laid at trump's door as ati's as the reports it is being a tough few weeks for a jew 50 days in office in the problems keep piling up fortunately and thank the polls for these even with trump gone you can still blame your problems on him the last administration left us a dismantled an unworkable system we are dedicated to achieving and quite frankly are working around the clock to replace the cruelty of the passage ministration to put it succinctly the prior administration dismantled our nation's immigration system in its entirety. a solid year democrats and biden praised migrants you remember that don't you citizenship for millions they promised within 100 days i'm going to send to united states congress a pathway to citizenship for over 11000000 undocumented people and all of those so-called dreamers those docket kids they're going to be immediately certified again to be able to stay in this country oh gosh dad who could have predicted that promising millions of people potential citizenship would flood your borders with another wave of migrants more and more migrants who believed biden's populist election rhetoric and people smugglers whom business is booming but biden apparently didn't mean everything that he said thousands of kids are still in detention centers waiting deportation to mexico and you know what biden's white house is telling the crowds at the border who he gave so much hope to. goo way the message isn't done come now it is don't come in this way ever do it to come to the united states is still legal pathways then there's the pandemic which has ruined so much for all of us merica has been ravaged by couvade like nowhere else it is been a disaster trumps disaster if you believe biden my predecessors my brother would say god love the failed order and of axes failed of all the lies the effort to administer the shots failed a set of facts centers at a certain point the trump bashing becomes too much even for the liberal press trump all his scenes newest operation warp speed last year under which the development of a vaccine its production and distribution were carried out i didn't precedented pace that was trump that wasn't biden and even the pundits agreed. even the media acknowledges a top administration troll is spearheading the development and procurement but president biden refuses to say the truth is the biggest scam is biden taking credit for the vaccine remember when joe biden uncommon a hair a spent months lying about not trusting the vaccine simply because president trump spearheaded operation warp speed now they're trying to take credit for it sick people or take and the asian violence that has really had its ugly head over the last year on the one hand trump did say borderline or outright offensive things about china and others i think there's no question that some of the damaging rhetoric that we saw. during the prior administration blaming you know calling coded you know the virus or other things. lead to you know perceptions of the asian american community that are inaccurate unfair have raised . you know threatening has elevated threats against asian americans on the other you just call and trust barden's all jove's but it comes to trump babs responsible for the ads the asian violence that is also arisen in britain and europe elsewhere and how do you blame trump for a spree of attacks in atlanta as the white house hinted when police themselves say it was not racially motivated the suspect did take responsibility for the shootings he does claim that it was not racially motivated he apparently has an issue what he considers a fiction and sees these locations as something that allows him to to to go to these places and into the temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate we're going to be honest here barden inherited a mess that pal long are they going to heap sweeping all their problems. and of the trump rug as opposed to you know try solve them especially considering that a significant amount of that mess and grow on the democrats created themselves or are still ahead of you in the program on the president biden admits that the us is unlikely to meet trump's promise deadline for pulling troops out of afghanistan we put that story and many more saturday afternoon stories here on our c returning in just a. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic. only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit. in. the world is driven by a dream shaped. thing . we ask. you with us today for the program recently published t.v. ratings in america appear to show that the post white house is well a bit of a ton off the figures show that c.n.n. has lost almost half of its primetime audience following the former president's departure from office almost 2 and a half 1000000 viewers with tuning in daily that's between election day on november the 4th and biden's inauguration day in january after that the numbers drop significantly down 47 percent in the key demographic of 25 to 54 year olds a media and legal analyst lionel believes donald trump was a golden goose when it came to media writing. it's the only reason they existed every day people would tune in to hear the anti trump rhetoric but also to listen to what insane connections they can make between everything and trump and it was it was brutal it was exciting it was it was it was interesting that's done this is just reality who wants to hear i didn't tire day a program he said wasn't that fantastic did you notice the show to chewed did you notice how great this president was when he's not and meanwhile fox and newsmax to an extent annoying and others are enjoying incredible ratings because they can turn that venom and excitement against the biden administration what i think people want to hear more than anything else is is confrontation but if somebody said we really are going to give you an honest to god of fair and balanced attack an appraisal they would love it we live in a world now of social media of trolling of immediate reaction there's no such thing as milk toast they could have done wonders by attacking if you will anybody who deserved attacking but what they are is these are apparatchiks these are shot puppets for the democratic party and everybody knows that but now that there's no trump to attack there's nothing there. but a posture in moscow president joe biden has admitted it will be tough for the u.s. to meet its deadline for pulling american troops out of afghanistan and with his administration now considering a 6 month extension of their presence in the country earlier donald trump had promised to withdraw the remaining 12000 troops by may the 1st of course the toll of the war in afghanistan has been very tough on civilians. i mean in the with the other my husband was a vendor selling street food and then after a hunger and a bad when the explosion happened my neighbors didn't want to tell me that my husband had been killed because they saw i'm a woman with 3 paralyzed children and have

aiming at reaching a negotiated settlement and comprehensive cease fire russia the us china and pakistan acted as mediators the talks resulted in a statement urging the taliban to refrain from a spring offensive parties also called for a continuation of the peace negotiations in doha we spoke to one of the participated one of the participants i should say of the talks here in the russian capital he seems optimistic our expectation was that when the talks started to doha violence will be deduced big deal that has not happened as a few act. unfortunately dialogue continues in all the major players. asking for association of violation hopefully this meeting in clear the message is given through this meeting to both sides what has to pass in moving in that i did action it is certainly complementing the doha or any future talks which takes place it is reenergizing it and it was that i thought i'd write time but eventually it's affordable to act this law makes the public of afghanistan and the taliban as long as the islamic republic of afghanistan is concerned i can assure you that it was very helpful in that will it will it will help us. within that country also throughout the negotiations. it's loss of parliamentary immunity jail and even alleged ties with r t's editor in chief well these are just a few of the things former catalan leader and member of the european parliament karla's put him on speaks about in the latest episode of artie's going underground accoutrement was a key figure in catalonia in the province referendum back in 2017 which was

spewing fountains of lava very close to the capital of reykjavik covered an area of about one square kilometer but as we understand it didn't pose any immediate danger to the local population but the eruption didn't come as a surprise though the country has recorded more than 40000 earth quakes over just the past 3 weeks the volcano had previously dormant for 6000 years and the last time an eruption took place on the peninsula was 800 years ago. thanks for sharing some of your saturday with us here at aussie international we are back soon with. one of the worst mass shootings in america
