the oxford astra zeneca vaccine uncomfortable scrutiny medicines regulators in the u.k. and the e.u. have judged that its benefits outweigh any possible risks but they haven't ruled out a causal link between the vaccine and rare blood clot conditions in a tiny number of recipients based on the current evidence the benefits of the covert 900 facts in astra zeneca against covert 90 and its associated risks hospitalization and death continues to outweigh the risks for the vast majority of people. our review has reinforced that the risk of this fresh suspected side effect remains extremely small in arms today the european medicines agency said there was insufficient data to isolate risk factors like age and gender and that blood clotting should be listed as a possible side effect of the jab this case also shows us that our pharmacovigilance system is working these very rare and unusual events have been picked up identified analyzed and loudest to come to science based recommendations to allow the safe and effective use of this vaccine investigations into the astra zeneca vac

well 1st of all it's been a communication disaster and i do think that astra zeneca did not do a good job in promising doses to every state's u.k. also the e.u. but also other countries all over the world well not being able to produce enough of the vaccine and if the e.u. had known it in a box that asked the senate to would not be able to fulfill its promises then i probably would have ordered more vaccines from other companies the number of countries in europe are already using the russian v. vaccine germany is about to start negotiations with russia on the back seeing. it hasn't been approved by the by the european medical medicines agency what does this say about unity in the european union that there's a scramble now for the for that vaccine well as for germany it has been make perfectly clear that putting it will only be finally if a gives authorize ation and i think that is the right way to choose because the end a does a very thorough examination of all of the data and i cannot understand the approach of other e.u. member states saying well never mind about the e m a we just b

have given in to pressure to release those astra zeneca vaccines. the u.s. is sending the astra zeneca vaccines and we should point out they're not even a use in the united states and that's why there was pressure given the fact that 53 percent or more of the u.s. population now has been vaccinated with the dirt of the pfizer even the johnson and johnson vaccine there were real questions about why the stockpile was just sitting there when other countries particularly india right now are in crisis so responding to that global pressure the white house announcing that it will be releasing this vaccine and we should point out that given the fact that it hasn't been approved in the united states it is going to be going through a strict quality control procedure are processed through the food and drug administration but again this is something that has been announced just in the last couple of hours by the white house press secretary and also we should point out that in the united states not only is 53 percent of the population been vaccinated but in some cases in

and we start in europe where governments are split on restricting the astra zeneca injection on thursday brussels warn that without a unified response public confidence could falter so we hit the streets of paris for reaction. it's confusing yes because to say that the laws change from one country to another while the product is the same we wonder on which study they are based those who had complications were rather young so they said let's stop it for the young but not for the old well i mean it's weird their management of the thing is not clear. for me there is a risk since it has been shown that there are people who have unfortunately died after getting vaccinated it is important to get out of this health crisis and therefore we have to weigh the benefits and the risks of saying the risk is low in their best interest i think so they are never going to say that the risk is high and so that's right that doesn't surprise me confusing there is a bit of confusion we don't know what to trust so i feel a bit of the dark concerns over a potential link between astra zeneca and red blood clots

because the conflicting advice information on the astra zeneca vaccine now e.u. governments have really been a pains over the last weeks to say this vaccine is safe its benefits outweigh the risks never the less all of that criticism has shaken the reputation of this vaccine in the e.u. at a time when it is needed as i said as part of this vaccine rollout. of the live in paris thank you natasha. also russian know where there looks to be another setback for kremlin critical action of only a prosecutor's office has asked the russian courts to suspend its of its use of foundation for combating corruption which he set up with army was jailed for a parole violation earlier this year recently did a hunger strike in prison he says the charges against him are politically motivated spurted smith joins us live from moscow bernard what work each of us about this. however later this week prosecutors will ask a moscow court to declare. corruption organization and his regional political organizations as extremists putting them on the same level in russia al-qaeda what prosecut
