are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is r t international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us are now a diplomatic feud has erupted between the e.u. and u.k. over vaccine supplies the european council president is accusing britain of blocking all exports of covert shots prompting angry denials from london our europe correspondent peter oliver has more on the standoff. well we wondered what the relationship post breaks that was going to be like between london and brussels the u.k. in the e.u. the pandemics meant we've got to see that speeded up faster than real time and it looks pretty messy from here on out at the moment the latest incident involves e.u. council president child machelp he put out a statement and what she seemed to accuse the united kingdom of having an outright ban on exports in any covert vaccines that are manufactured in u.k. territory i am shocked when i hear the accusations of vaccination elysium against the e.u. the u.k. and the u.s. have imposed an outright ban on the export of vaccines or a vaccine to components produced on their territory but the e.u. has never stopped exporting the thing is the u.k. says they haven't got any such a ban in place whatsoever the u.k. foreign secretary dominic robb rejected those claims and says that he's written to shell michel for clarification on the e.u. council president's comments the british government has never blocked the exposed to a single vaccine any references to u.k. export bowen or any restrictions on vaccines are completely false clarification may well be necessary because later on tuesday evening michelle puts out a tweet always a way to make sure that the message gets across without any misunderstanding whatsoever in that tweet he didn't repeat the claims that britain had a ban on export of vaccines he also didn't retract any of the statements he made earlier on what he did was. essentially say that his statement it prodded the u.k. towards transparency when it comes to this vaccine issue that caused a lot of upset the most conservative party m.p.'s in the u.k. who've been doing the rounds on the breakfast radio and t.v. saying that this is absolutely 1st radio and t.v. saying that this is absolutely outrageous what we have though is a situation between the u.k. . and the e.u. you look at it a little bit like a divorce or any breakup with one side that seems to be doing better than the other on one glaring issue and not if you vaccinations if we look at the united kingdom just under 35 percent of the population there have received at least one job of a covert vaccine in the u. that number is just on the 10 percent mark difference and what we've seen is these clashes over vaccines this isn't the 1st time this year that they've gone head to head on this back in january the e.u. for a short period anyway said that they would perhaps going to put in place controls on vaccines moving into northern island that would have caused a whole lot of mess that was eventually scrapped that idea but what we are seeing is vaccines becoming an increasingly important issue a little more on what we've seen in terms of the diplomatic fallout from these comments from child michele the u.k. attempted to summon the e.u. on bassett or for talks on this some of them to the foreign office the problem is the u.k. currently doesn't recognise the e.u. ambassador to the u.k. not a good look at this trouble seems like it will continue for a little while yet. political analyst gilbert doctorow believes e.u. officials are pointing fingers to divert attention from their own missteps in the vaccine process. the situation here in europe just to read it was chaotic as regards the vaccination programs. going about to reach the public was what put it in a sense of the little devil of vaccinations seeking and found the cure for the door of the condition president. what we see now is. an assistance by the show to try to relieve the pressure on this probably but the commission to to send up a smoke screen to send up a diversion from the gross incompetence. that is been seen in the european a situation. with actually programs the they are terribly envious here in brussels of the success the stunning success of britain they have to record it going its own way with ins they have done everything possible to divert attention from their own inability to negotiate properly. with proper priorities with the pharmaceutical companies going back to us that this is not. the russian capital is lifting some of its remaining covert restrictions after a drop in case numbers this week moscow ended its stay at home advice for people over the age of 65 and across russia the situation continues to improve daily new cases are down to around $9000.00 that is less than half of the average figure in january and it is partly due to a mass in occupation campaign launched in december we discussed russia's anti covert measures and how they fit into the global picture with the w.h.o. representative to russia. there has been a very good combination of all recommendations a restriction which are not for love of the house although in some regions they were more close to that. and i would say and the various of people but this is very critical at the moment to maintain this there miss and application of the set of measures. the most important thing is to be moderate to monitor the situation and be flexible so in case of need to be flexible of returning some of the restrictions public health measures me prefer to call them and or lack me i have seen in some countries a surge of cases a new growth of cases so we have very cautious everywhere. nobody's safe until everybody's safe stronger torics even coming from any place my power of the trust of the people so it is very important to rollout to go with a vaccination to encourage people especially the priority groups health care workers and elderly to get the vaccine and there are only together we can win this battle around the world health organization did not reply and vaccination passports and evidence to give privileges are enabled travel however good data nation are extremely important and the countries are encouraged to actually have information systems that enable them to long term vaccination. legal and medical professionals are rounding on the british government for refusing to probe chronic failures in its handling of the pandemic and they have ranged their own public inquiry now this comes after the u.k. death toll from covert past 124000 the highest figure in europe it includes more than 40000 care home residents had hundreds of health care workers chairing the inquiry is that formidable human rights lawyer michael mansfield who says many of those fatalities could have been avoided. people's inquiry is the 1st inquiry of any kind that is taking place in 2 cove it pandemic and the handling of it by the government right now the public who want art and particularly the bereaved of which there are thousands unfortunately but others who are the relatives of plainly the relatives of those who fortunately haven't died also have questions because of the been a lot of hospitalizations as well and it's no use waiting we need the answers now and they can be provided people have a very strong views about what should have happened in the 1st place and what is continuing not to happen many of the families do believe that their loved ones did die in the street not everyone obviously but a large number but eagerly those who work on the front line who've been susceptible everybody knows that it's being lurching from crisis to crisis that's no way to do it and so we need to know now because it's not going to be over in june the lockdown may be eased by then but of course the virus that stole self will still be present somewhere in our room. a british woman has come forward asking for her father to be recognised as the country's 1st coronavirus victim. we just saw remember him as far as a loving father a lot of our he was a lovely man he would have done anything for you and we can't. understand but we need to learn some serious lessons from this so this doesn't happen again back in january 20 2083 year old peter tork passed away long before cave it became a national diagram and when the concern was limited mostly to china the only just come about in china so we we were told you know without a shadow of doubt it was not in this country at the time so there was no why it was on our radar at the time the tipping point for me i think was the inability to get off the oxygen you struggle so much as time went by and we knew more more about cars and we saw these patients in hospital with the brain the. public health experts claim peter afterwards case lays bare the case failure to monitor the virus in its early stages and that there may have been many more deaths in the early months of 2020 than was 1st thought the 1st covert death in the u.k. was recorded on the 5th of march of 2020 weeks before the government succumbed to lockdown on the 23rd of march by that time the pandemic had already sunk its teeth into the country but jane's father passed on the 30th of january of 2020 and that was only days after the city of rwanda where the 1st case of credit were detected went into lockdown she is now calling for the world health organization and the n.h.s. to publicly recognise the historical significance of her father's passing as the u.k.'s 1st private fatality just through that he should go down in history as the part of history now isn't there you know it doesn't matter what you read in the books you know there's always that day of that 1st person and i think my dad should really have remembered well 2020. 19 will go down in history as being totally unknown and president jane says it's not just about her father's. but about correcting the official records but the government says there was little transmission present at the time of peter. every death is a tragedy there is no evidence that there was sustained transmission within the community in january 2020 we acted swiftly to curb coronavirus and are told times we have been guided by the best available evidence to deliver a strategy designed to protect the n.h.s. and save lives put jane questions still remain unanswered about what actually happened and if anything would have been different had the government acted sooner to the country. our german sister channel r g deutsche has filed a lawsuit against the build after the german tabloid claimed artie's reporting was actually spying for the kremlin ask you taylor has details. on the face of it a sin sation old story it's got all the words 7 to draw or read to read spotlight public enemy number one russia but a closer look at not sensation apart basically daniel lined up an r.t. to each employee claims he was essentially used as a spy for the channel and then all the information he was gathering on kremlin critic alex anan found me when he was recuperating in a bill and clinic for legit poisoning was being put straight into the hands of russian president vladimir putin since ational rights were not quite because the evidence seems more taken from a manual called john ism water one inspiring want to one as proof screenshots of a chat with editors i'll tell you these chats a common practice that the easiest way for reporters producers cameraman tech guys to coordinate and also tell you that pretty boring filled with the logistical stuff and despite claims his chart was pretty boring too yes he was also to go inside the shower take clinic one found he was schooled investigative journalism it's called trying to get ahead of other outlets so that you get the scoop in fact build was one of the most active moles inside the hospital as the head of our to do each reminds us to accuse us of spying and at the same time to post images of the every little step develop he makes including pictures of his garden to host a word if russian intelligence wanted to get any additional information they would buy a subscription to build plants and of course we want to remind our colleagues of german that you slay ssion that for now at least protect the media and lowering it to collect information and metis that are considered to be of public interest so bill does that it's a rule john as it's trying to get the latest on a top developing story our team does that it's more than a tinge of hypocrisy that claim that this work. group was filled with nefarious spying requests is also undermined by the fact that when he questions whether getting a hidden camera recording of what's inside toward one volume has remained to be which is on german military and is appropriate his boss writes clearly no i don't think so not exactly the most ruthless of spying attempts than evidence number 2 is the video agency ruptly 247 outside the shower take clinic yes that's true in fact for a long time it was a live streamed on you tube talk about money to cover in the same way our tireless ruptly cameramen camped night and day outside the ecuadorian embassy in london to counter the truly sensational moment the jury and a son was dragged out we were the only ones to get these pictures and every outlet in the world was behind them they appreciate a drop in his journalism back then but not now and the final damning allegation the anti employee in charge of lying does assignment was photographed with the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov at a public christmas party the horror never mind that this was one of hundreds of photos taken all that that were hundreds including foreign journalists apparently this one photo is incontrovertibly proof that are on the russian government are in cahoots you also have to ask yourself do you believe in coincidence not long ago on t.v. deutsche announced it's opening a channel in germany shortly after problems started headline summed up a smear campaign appeared then. told that the bank accounts in germany would be shot within months fast forward and now are being labeled a kremlin spies like i said coincidence you decide for that part of colleagues in germany convinced. seemed. clear attempts to see. this is an attempt that is being constrained to me that i was going to was staring and in the media at every turn against me and fools allegations and suppressing our journalistic freedoms and make an impossible task this is what it means to be an alternative voices in germany it's also walk mentioning that doesn't exactly have the best track record between 20152028 was hit with 72 reprimands from the job and media regulator that's almost a thought of the toll in that time frame something to bear in mind when you jump head 1st into this latest offering from the top lawyer and offering that promise is spiced sensation a bombshell and a juicy spy story but actually delivers well a day in the life of any journalist anywhere in the world broadcaster neil clark sings archie dortch was merely following standard journalistic practice by keeping track of the volley. seems the the the the the great crime but our 2 daughters are actually doing journalism proper journalism of course this was a story that they had to cover about not army in a german medical facility that would mean doing investigations that would mean going to places that's what journalism is about and to and to sort of a quite with spidey i think it's quite ludicrous because build we're following this story extremely closely putting up photographs of about the in hospital you know really making this a major news story and then life seems to be well we can do this but russian media outlets operating lawfully in germany better allowed to follow the story than latter to try and find out what's going on i mean egypt the hypocrisy really is off the scale here i think. still ahead in the program russia's media regulator cracks down on twitter accusing it of spreading illegal content and that's coming up in less than 2 minutes the international. joe biden famously said nothing will fundamentally change just appears to be the case when it comes to u.s. policy regarding the middle east coast we ask the question what is the strategic value of commuting least any benefits from all these forever wars. when you have a government that's be able to print money willy nilly without and without any accountability and whatsoever you need some barca reaction to that used to be in the form of the bond market. that would all my gosh they're printing so much money we're going to drop bonds or of the gold the bugs would say oh my god you know gold's going to go higher because the government's out of control but both of those 2 have been euthanized we don't have bond vigilantes or gold with these anymore is a more big coin is confiscated and nobody is going to put a big coin but point what to do because it is saying you know what this money printing is out of control and we're going to. this is arch international now russia's media regulator has slashed the speed with which twitter users can view videos and photos on the platform accusing the social network of repeatedly breaking the law so roy sushi earlier discussed the story with correspondent dan hawkins. well disagreements between twitter and the russian media and telecommunications regulator go back a number of years the social media giant has previously received both warnings and fines for failing to add here to russian laws and this slowing down of twitter here in russia is a step taken by the regulator to encourage shared pressure twitter to comply with those laws the slowdown will affect all mobile devices and half of non mobile devices here in russia largely affecting videos and streaming services that action was taken because of twitter's apparent refusal to remove thousands of pieces of content largely relating to the protection of children that these requests go back several years and the regulator says if twitter does fail to comply and continues. to to not remove such images and such content further measures could be taken from 2017 to the present time twitter has not removed contents inserting minors to commit suicide child pornography as well as information about the use of drugs in order to protect russian citizens centralise response measures have been taken in initial slowdown of the service speed if to it it continues to ignore the requirements of the law the measures will continue up to and including blocking of the service and i will usually take taken this measure rather than opting for financial penalties to push to or to comply then both sides will be hoping these legal issues can be resolved before such action does need to be taken daniel does this seem to just be like some sort of internal the conflict between russia and twitter or does is perhaps spread beyond russia's borders this very much goes beyond russia's borders just one example if you take australia very recently the government there has said it's willing to take action against twitter if it fails to comply with a new code of conduct on the spread of this information on the platform as well as harassment and bullying twitters pushed back saying such regulations could give. australian authorities too much oversight so this agreement is there if you take the united states and europe issues that have gone far beyond that into far darker territory where twitter's been accused of failing to tackle. relating to child sexual abuse child pornography in fact one of us to geisha in the u.k. found that twitter was responsible for over half of such content online relating to child abuse and this really raises 2 questions one why twitter in recent times has been very quick to moderate certain content largely political relating to political conspiracy theories for example get failed to tackle content which is a much more direct and imminent threat to minors and secondly how exactly in an increasingly online media landscape and social media landscape the relationship between social media giants and government authorities are going to develop political commentator and very walker things social media giants use their monopoly position to disregard local laws. i have a significant amount of sympathy with the russian authorities and the simply on this point of hypocrisy what we see all the time is twitter and indeed companies like facebook hound reading about their inability to deal with problems instead of breaches of the law instead of breach of their own terms of service when it comes to criminality but when it comes to the sides of politics they are perfectly happy to intervene politically and most of those could own could you see the facebook alone fake similar to most people who will tweeted not wait could only use twitter pala was effectively taken down and destroyed and so consequently it's not legal puts off these products there's no alternative and therefore these companies have way too much power and i think it's disturbing the idea that you can affect to have a competent the publish the serious side material publish his child all over face and get away with it is just an old believable folds certainly if you were to tell somebody 20 years ago that was going to be the case they would laugh at you. residents have given a mixed response after plainclothes officers began patrolling the streets of the belgian capital to stop a shocking rise in sexual harassment cases the measure follows women complaining that they now fear leaving their homes over the growth and sexual assaults brussels police and say they hope to catch assailants in the act as attacks are rarely reported by victims it women's rights activists welcomed the initiative. i'm too so even a bar on this idea because finally we are seeing you know this police went to court and asked for it to end a budget into this you know horrible emergency that is violence and harassment against women finally we men have a voice and they're speaking loud and they're saying you know no i don't accept harassment i don't accept to bind you know this isn't just is we need to change and our pretty sure they're finally releasing to this voices and that's why they need it to could have bought a big one in order to tackle this problem and find all the best solutions like this one trolling the streets in order to help women however it turns out trust in the police is so low that many residents fear officers more than the threat of assault . i don't feel safe around police i see police as a grasses and violent people and repressive people that protect me. i prefer the police intensify themselves as officers that's clear for me i don't want police dressed like civilians. police play an important role but we should find a way to communicate with the police won't be there when you really need them. and i think it's a good idea because there's a lot of. history. for sure when this policeman is uniform. and the women's rights activist we heard from warns the root of the problem goes far deeper. so we need to not only to repress and this is good to protect our oppressed but we should also think about programs that prevent these problems to happen and that's why we need education when indication of for our children problem always in our girth and we need to do cation of for immigrants ringback who come to our contras especially if they come from kountry where they don't respect women as we do in the western countries we need to be all engaged more to tackle this problem because women's rights are human rights and in trying to trying to one we should and once and for all violence against women. 32 and a half minutes that's when i'll be back with another full and fresh look to news this is our international stay with us. there are tactics that can be used to get innocent people to confess to crimes they didn't commit i don't even think people in the us really get that the police are allowed to lie to the person who falsely fast actually came to believe the lie that they were told about their own behavior once a false confession is taken the case is closed and nobody really can tell the difference between a good confession and one that is a. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being that. way. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. some can fall from middle class to homeless overnight muslim are very hard working people who want to get ahead that have either have some some health issues or have some of it out of strict about luck a full time job won't always pay for a place to live and missing just a month's rent can get you a victim to gunpoint if anything bad happens to any thing that just throws your budget off slightly. you better catch up real quick or you're going to have a judgment of possession against you and get addicted anyone that's homeless is history like garbage people look at you like a monster or someone bad or you chose to be there most of the time it's not the case see how it is to be paul in the world's richest country. one of the worst ever mass shootings in america was in less vigorous in 2017 the tragedy exposed a little of the real last vegas where many say elected officials are controlled by could see you known these days as shooting reveal where the l.g.m. p.d. really is and now it's part of the standard sheen. the american public barely remembers that it happened just shows you the power of money and. the powerful showed that true. the most contagious contagion we've seen in decades and then you have a mayor who doesn't care so
