colonialism and slavery. hello there good evening you're watching r.t. internationally she's gone 6 o'clock am. now russia has fast tracked the rollout of its sputnik the vaccine to reach every region for the new year period in some parts of the country the vaccination program is already underway and it is hoped to bring down daily infections which pigs here in russia the start of last month's let's get the latest now with quarter good evening to you just tell us then where does russia stand exactly in its fight against this. good evening and the well today's the day that sputnik vs finally made its way to every single region of russia putin's president putin spokes person said that unlike many countries in the west there

will be no strict lockdown measures for this holiday season and that likely has to do with the russian health ministries latest achievement. the president's order has been executed and vaccines but choose from aspects a nation will deliver today to every region in russia vaccination is the path we should take if we also break the spread of the disease now russia's prime minister has made it clear the vaccine is voluntary however it will be offered free of charge to all russian citizens medics teachers and social workers are at the front of the line to be vaccinated since their work is specifically high risk but we also heard from the prime minister that he promised 480000 vaccinations will be delivered across the country in december although inoculations have already begun in key regions like novosibirsk for example where medical workers have already taken the shot. i know just hosting people get to scoop it stuff this way we're waiting for the vaccine and we're headed to be furious to know and to get the champ

let's not forget sputnik he has an over 90 percent efficacy rate and russia's health minister is also saying that the latest information coming out about it is very encouraging so with over 27000 more cases recorded in the country within the past 24 hours alone this is certainly good news for the russian people. very much needed ok thank you don't know don't court. now in other news the german capital is seeing a massive rise in drug use with entire districts now apparently said to be under the control of data is assisted him and captured the troubling trend that's been building since last year using hidden cameras.

intimidated me a well built young man came into my kiosk i told him to get out but he refused to and they started grabbing me i called the police but they arrived too late so i gave a statement but nothing is changed. if you are you can see them looking out for a potential victim and if somebody is not paying attention they snatched their bag or wallets. that act up on me when i go to the station looking for

a dealer i tell him what i need he takes a rubbed elbows out of his mouth the standard price for a job was just $20.00 euros i give him the money and we go our separate ways. to france and i will hospitality workers there have been gathering in paris against prolonged lockdown measures which they do say a crippling their industry although some restrictions will be lifted on cheese day restaurants bars and cafes will have to stay shut right across the holidays until the 28th of january they say it's threatening not only their livelihoods but also as they put it the french way of life well earlier i spoke with r.t. shout it depends who is at the protest. of individuals from a number of different sectors the restaurant cafe impost sector but also from the tourism sector to and those people who own entertainment venues like bowling venues both come out to tell the government they want to open up the business because they

have had. in 2020 many of them saying they are put to bankruptcy with some recent report showing that some 90200 thousands almost half of the business is. saying that they could be closing up shop for good in the next 3 months things are really that joy another is a solidarity fund for businesses with up to $10000.00 euro's per month or 20 percent of that from last year but many say that that is simply not enough on the cooling on the government because over the situation here in front is consuming the government there are almost 60000 individuals whose be considered to die as a result of 19 every day the infection rate is still around $10000.00 cases that is. what president papa was hoping it would be up to this point the

government is starting a massive screening situation in the 18 some cities across france so there have been criticisms of that and of course the new part choose phase of the decompile it starts on shoes day in frogs many you can see. starting on which means that you could feed that starts at 8 pm in the evening rather knowing him as a racially charged but there is concern that a cultural institutions were supposed to be opening up they won't be opening up because the tradition of many restaurants is of concern that there's a possibility that. and we $28.00 which is the date they would originally projected to be opening may not be the time when there. are many issues are there at the moment in france that spring people latch on to the streets to protest not least at the weekend we saw people. in protest over the new global security law all more

expected at their own more protests expected we've seen this protest over the last few weeks about the global security law and then to add fuel to the fire that there is this new promoting republican values law that many of the protesters who came out of the weekend said that there were certain aspects of that more which used to be known as the separatism will withdraw most they tend to cool article $24.00 from the global security bill which is incredibly controversial this idea that you would criminalize publishing people who publish images where individuals can be identified and there is no intent to harm them now there was also huge criticism of the protest over the weekend with the police using new tactics to try and avoid some law violence we have seen over the past few weeks essentially carrying out what i would describe as a smash and grab this is where the police ram into the crowds and they take out individuals who they think are trouble makers.

well almost $150.00 individuals were detained at the protests on saturday many of these detentions coming in the 1st hour or so of protests before it was really too much trouble and all of those detained 2 would journalists now there's beaty. huge criticism about from many opposition sides also from human rights groups ham journalists groups as well and that the new press freedom index for 2020 shows that france is down the scale yet again it's now what number it's and for the world it

was previously at number 32 in bases meaning how journalists were treated in 2019 the government says there is freedom of the press here in france but these rankings show that that certainly is diminished. in neighboring germany a new set of code with 9000 restrictions will come into force later this week a bit later in the program we'll have the new measures being described as the toughest ever seen in the country. trucks have formed huge cheese as they struggle to enter the u.k. is uncertainty i've been a deal breaks it looms for britain and the european union companies face new rules and terrorists being imposed as the british prime minister again pushes back his deadline to reach a compromise i say to all the doctors. we are going to energize the country we're going to get bricks that dug 30 votes but in the meantime get ready we've called fritz the general the 1st trigger. if we have to panic over breaks it has been made

worse too by the traditional surge in demand at christmas with the government now even morning stores to stockpile food i would as more. sunday's talks were supposed to be final but what we got was another cliffhanger i'm afraid we're still very far apart on some key things and despite the fact that deadlines have been missed over and over we both think that it is responsible at this point in time to go the extra mile so what are the remaining sticking points for one fish specifically the u.k. fishing industry which is tired of having to share its waters with european competitors while abiding by e.u. quotas which they see as unfair we will until basically you know for for us we just want almost backside for an ideal for us that's just a slight it won't work so i think it's official life it doesn't want my day or it will feel as though we've got about 40 years old when they walk in able to when we

can go on fish and catch fish have a drink but i've been out a drink for the last. 46 years old military told. definitely the wrong way or the end of it and boris johnson has vowed to support them he's even ready to send in navy gunships to chase away european fishing vessels in case of a no deal brags that europe's response calm down. i want to say keep cool just because we're at the end of a negotiation doesn't mean we have to lose our temple and go overboard and while the situation of the sea heats up the trucks are standing in line hundreds of them stranded in kent santa might be late this year as the pre-christian is build up has contributed to an already dire situation at the border as elves are stuck with countless toys in their trucks some of which might not reach the children until easter well barbie dolls might not be a necessity food and medicine certainly are u.k.

ministers are even advising stores to start stockpiling food and proper ration for no deal which would see prices skyrocket and some products disappearing from shelves altogether the use says if you want tariff free access to our market we need to maintain the same standards for goods labor and the environment but those are all the things the u.k. wants to decide for itself. and then there's the problem of how to resolve disputes which are balance of come up the you lost the power to retaliate if the u.k. doesn't follow the rules with fines and tariffs the u.k. isn't so keen on that and it doesn't want the european court of justice to be the final arbiter were people who. make you cards but i think in the general public you we tried out because we course we proceeded to lead the new year in 2016 so no i don't agree can many people be strictly surprised that our us are not going to look i think we have to remember the our iraq program to

a person 16 question or 2 leading the it wasn't leaving the e.u. if we had to do so trying to set up a deal yes of course which causes it to try and achieve the most capable law against having a good working relationship with the e.u. what we don't want to do was muscular on the front stoop infer. that you should be sorted out later on i'm just laid on top of the. rules now. and the racism campaign is have set their sights on the leading art gallery in britain over a mural that shows them in slave to black child typewritten now except that the work is offensive the chair of the ethics committee noted that members for unequivocal in their view that the imagery of that work is offensive trustees discuss the need to acknowledge the strength of feeling around that mural and the

harm that injury has caused. well the work which covers the wall of a gallery restaurant is called the expedition in pursuit of rare mates it is by rex whistler and shows the hunting expedition characters in the piece to include a captured black boy being led with a chain around his neck campaigners want the work removed or the restaurant closed and the gallery does say it is considering how to respond. but we're taking this time to consult internally and externally on the future of the room and the room and we will keep the public informed of future plans but this has polarized opinion between those who want the mural to stay and those who call it an unacceptable carry over from britain's colonial past we put the issue up for debate. but we need to debate and leave these things where they are so people can understand history and understand how far we have drawn from these images they may now from

defensive well know the current. situation if you're just going to hide things away and you never going to educate people is passive which is also passive blackish. what you looking out. deeply offensive work placed in one of the most prodigious practices. in the country house black lives matter that the whole paradigm shift in thinking. that what was formerly accepted used to be acceptable is now no longer except. that you can move the goal to some sort of museum of colonialism or reshaping when you can provide the education context that. to have the super soft slavery while you retain your 45 grew up in a premier arts astonishment of the country you can be moved and it can be praised the proper educational context but he certainly not in a public space in the pretty prestigious art gallery or just

a creep saying it's british colonialism is not to mislead an essentially folse because you misleading people of black history it earned because you are to be alone it is a leftwing matches political party which should go to your party now so the actual movement for black lives is lost its momentum as being any credibility will less thank you kate people about the entire history of the slave don't how the fuck up black african tribes were complicit in it well before europeans got there and it wasn't just british colonialism can we just be absolutely clear because you no longer used to be misled that chattel slim chance i'd like to watch. wasn't the periodic it's league of warring tribes that could be released in the negotiation between different villages it was the most brutal long lasting exploitation

probably one of the greatest crimes each human history sorel a $50000000.00 africans exported from west africa and the interior what we will to do we just have a history away so doctrines are built on that channel nine's you. want to hide anything away i want to put it out. in a museum of colonialism and slavery that puts it in the proper context and you my friend would be the 1st customer to get educated because your ignorance is so profound as to be absolutely shocked the. german president has warned of some of the toughest ever restrictions a new lockdown was announced ahead of the christmas holidays following a surge in covert 900 cases in fact 20000 new cases were registered on sunday alone the measures come into force later this week and will stay until the middle of january for me to run. from wednesday onwards our public and private lives will therefore be more severely restricted than ever before in the

history of the federal republic of germany the situation is bitterly serious thousands of deaths in one week an infection that threatens to get out of control we cannot avoid drastic measures. from wednesday then children oh no longer go to school or daycare shops or non essential services will close churches can stay open but we that singing and drinking alcohol in public is also banned so is the sale of fireworks with overstretched hospitals unable to deal with by work related injuries the measures have split the business community. if that really makes me angry the government could have had a lockdown earlier in october and that business worked for these 2 weeks. has the option of us prepared for the 2nd knock down i've expanded my online shop and studies selling new products there i know honestly i was not surprised by these decision will authorities have made

a slight exception for 3 days around christmas from the 24th the 26 for close relatives can join a family to celebrate as well as their children now authorities are also promising up 250-0000 euro for affected businesses and also the self-employed however early early in journalist thomas fassbender things that the measures that will be difficult to enforce. if you read the regulation i read them 3 or 4 times for christmas or you need sort of a law degree to understand really what is allowed and what is forbidden for christmas but you're a jerk christmas in germany in 2020 there will be a lot of. anger and criticism and humourous scepter about it. again government wants to restrict is much as possible contacts knowing of course all these measures will not be fully implemented and they will not be

able to monitor or. there is a certain despair in the government measures that cannot be denied but it is difficult even even with discipline germans to keep 83000000. under strict control in the situation. that the yet british royal family experts consulted netflix on its global hit t.v. series the crime says the royal should hardly be surprised by the negative trials of their behavior robert lacey told hearties going underground that media are only reflecting the reality of their less than perfect lives when you can watch the full interview on our website at r.t. dot com pays a taste of what they set. it's treated almost as a subject of religion i mean i think when it comes to health warnings there should be a health warning about the british attitude towards them on occasion because as i said they are human beings and actually they present themselves to us as

a family don't they they call themselves the royal family they're supposed to be an exemplary family we pay them to be an exemplary family so when they are not i think we're entitled to to look at that establishment in britain was quite happy with the 1st 3 seasons which are about coronations or happy marriages and jubilee is now in the fall season the marriages are going wrong 3 of them are breaking down in particular the marriage of di to charles brought about there's no secret by charles it's obsession and infatuation with camilla that state history while in the book you say that camilla parker bowles used to brief the murdoch sun newspaper so he detected a change now i mean we've got coronavirus may be a new type of austerity though denied by boris johnson coming is there have greater fear of republicanism than there has been in recent years i think there is because

at a time of national disunity people look to the crowd of the royal family for a display of unity in the queen did that modestly at the beginning of the crisis with her great speech will meet again and so long since then the truth has been more divisive and of course the problem with camilla is that until season 4 of the crown came out she was headed serenely to becoming queen camilla with king charles the 3rd everybody forgotten about what happened in the 1980 is what got her there now suddenly being reminded of it and 'd it's not untrue. suddenly people are saying do we want to wave the golden coach carrying the woman who displaced diana all the friends of charles are protesting about this they are of course in fact also friends of camilla and they don't want to be reminded of this pleasant history that's got us in our current state.

now health workers in garza ho warning that israel's blockade is causing a severe shortage of coby testing kits and other essential equipment is making a bad situation worse too with infection numbers in the palestinian territory continue to rise with the israeli siege imposing as this thread has a very bad effect on the call of virus the poverty which is prevailing is one of the main cause if it picks up the siege on gaza strip and the closure of the borders of course which is preventing medical stops and hateful from outside to come in to help us in gaza strip while we have the israeli continuous illegal. we have the coronavirus with the. health system and very difficult. conditions however his rail doesn't says that it is providing masks and equipment and doctors in gaza israeli authorities also reportedly are getting ready to

join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. and in 1996 something happened different a company called purdue pharmaceuticals came out with a drug called oxycontin and they started a mere and falsely promoted that opioids were rarely addict maybe only one

percent of the time could you get addicted to no. that was not true. and it is not true and never was true that was a false statement and the other companies jumped on the bandwagon of making money in the false lies spread in the false marketing spread that they are guilty of lying about these tricks they cause this. i believe with every fiber of my being. back in 1906 the 1st promotional at campaign for and it was broadcasted we found it. we doctors were wrong in thinking that opioids can't be used a long time they can be and they should be we used to think they'd stop working all the patients would become addicts or they'd be sedated and. these 6 cases show how

wrong those views were. in this little film the public was assured with certification that content would show no risk of addiction despite its high concentration in opium to make it believable a real doctor and real patients with this. feeling that this treatment usually reserved for patients in the terminal phase of cancer can be used without any danger for common pain. i can enjoy every day you know you can really enjoy must say i have been on this new pain medication. i have not missed one day of work and this medication is not turning you into a zombie it is turned me into an active person again. whereas addiction is the 1st known risk of an opioid the figures shown by pretty farmer a purely and simply unreliable some patients may be afraid of taking opioids

because they're perceived as too strong or addictive but that is far from actual fact. less than one percent of patients taking opioids actually become addicted. since 1988 doctors have observed patients developing addiction yet in this internal memo a laboratory keeps on encouraging us representatives to sell the cost that miracle pill using bonuses premiums and all sorts of gadgets in only 5 years oxycontin went from 600000 prescriptions a year to more than 6000000. nowadays perjury pharma is the 1st company standing accused in the lawsuit filed by the state of oklahoma in order to prove its responsibility the team relies on doc to kalani. in the 1st 6 years of the release of oxycontin produced sponsored 20000 educational programs

across the united states they gave money to the professional societies to advocate for more opioids the organization that regulates hospitals took money from them the organization that regulates doctors in different states took money from them from all of these different directions we were told to prescribe much more the opioid lobby the manufacturers and distributors of opioids spent 880000000 dollars over a 10 year period a walking efforts for more cautious prescribing that they spent 8 times more than the gun lobby in the united states in has spent in trying to block gun regulations . the manufacturers of opiates are spending more money trying to block regulations on opioids. and is disseminated year after year during that time the epidemic takes root.
