1:05 am
democrats about the protesters being terrorists is being echoed by celebrities and it's shameful. to keep calling them protesters. protesters are there are people walking around with the flag upside down thinking they're patriotic today was not patriotism today was terrorism and we've got trump supporters who are making light of the situation to some degree and taking a dig at the democrats invoking what happened on capitol hill i'm sure glad that at least for one day i didn't hear my democratic colleagues calling to defund the police so it's important to note for people did die in the scuffles on capitol hill yesterday that seems to be lost amid more divisive rhetoric jokes needed words and calls to remove donald trump and further escalate tensions in the country. in the wake of the unrest seen at the camp but all some t.v. channels vented and given the president a b c's political director said in
1:06 am
a now deleted tweets that while getting rid of trump is not difficult cleansing his fellows would be a challenge and others have accused trump of inciting his supporters violence the president of the united states is clearly a danger and threat to the republic we call them terrorists terrorism mastic terroristic terrorism as a terrorist stronghold joe may * call for me to surrender him against the united states of america you talked about al qaeda what has he done in terms of incitement right i am the son of bin ladin didn't do we will all remember you because when the cool you an able and you supported his final. he melted and you are barricaded inside cowering in fear because it finally affects you before the president trying to go up as they were after him they were against him from the very beginning i mean it's a part of the swamp i mean all this rhetoric about that and all it's tens of thousands of people down there in washington d.c.
1:07 am
terrorists it wasn't them they ate they had it they are going to shake my head video i saw today alone nobody in the mainstream media saying this that video where the washington police were escorting the bus loads of people in in-car the word fitting in with the. from supporters to make america great has and so on and now i believe those people who broke in should be arrested and try but but the rest the vast majority they were not terrorists they were doing it same thing they were sitting there protesting as it is their right to do one of the constitution part of their whole thing if they're trying to keep us quiet this whistleblowers are not letting us get on mainstream media and we've been complaining about that to many different media so it's not just it's not just what their actions they're doing in washington and how they're subverting our constitution they're violating all the constitutions in the state they're finally i mean everything that our country is founded on. and it's the democrats doing the mainstream media regurgitates there a lot that's why i stopped watching t.v. because you know i'm over here on our t.v.
1:08 am
or some other place watching those watching your channels read that to get something honest at least factually reported honestly rather than listen to all the lies and propaganda and the distortions that they push out on mainstream media t.v. you're not us. well trump has been allowed to tweet again after being locked down to his account for 12 hours the media platform gave the outgoing president a final warning saying any future violations of what is rules would result in a poem and. meanwhile facebook has extended its suspension of trump's account for at least 2 weeks meaning no will post from trump until power has been transferred to joe biden the that would see mark zuckerberg says the president's last message pose a threat to u.s. democracy. we believe the risks of allowing the president to continue to use all service during this period is simply too great therefore we are extending the broke we've placed on his facebook and instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least
1:09 am
the next 2 weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete the social media companies are no longer a little bit restrained by the power of government potentially used against them which was what donald trump presidency meant he was the one calling the commissions that interrogating what you're seeing now is their perception that trump has lost his power to do anything to them and they're going after him 100 percent this 2 week ban will turn into a permanent ban trump will no longer be seen on facebook or twitter ever again they're going to succeed at limiting conservative opinion from being spread and the result is the social media is going to lose all sense of restraint and do what they have wanted to do for years and that is completely stifle any viewpoint they don't agree with and all of those people in management and ownership are fairly hard leftists and that is going to be the only acceptable view i think some leftist will be surprised to find there on the target list because facebook and twitter are
1:10 am
going to be very serious about what opinions they're going to allow on their platforms and some people who are fairly solidly left and have been for years are going to end up getting into their own traps and those people once they get started banning you they ban and ban and ban until one day they'll look around there's nobody left on either one of their platforms but that day is a long time from now in the meantime it's going to get much worse. all living former u.s. presidents have condemned the violence in the capital barack obama called it a great dishonor and shame for the nation while george w. bush branded it an insurrection worthy of a banana republic is more as our senior correspondent greg as if. these scenes a usually an act of desperation i reproved heston's in disenchanted view does storming parliament and government pub pounds will dwyer from believe year to kyrgyzstan what america didn't expect was to find itself on that least this is how
1:11 am
elections a disputed in a banana republic not our democratic republic but nona republic usually an unstable country with a huge wealth gap and reliant on the export of limited resources so how could this happen to america a nation that exploited regime change and revolution glue we salute the courage and strength to believe in people who have protested against a government trying to steal an election the united states supports the courageous decision by juan puerto the president of your national assembly to assert that body's constitutional powers declare madeira or your serp or and call for the establishment of a transitional government with 15 weeks of protesters in hong kong as centrist john a staring message to the rest of the world about the drains of freedom and justice turns out it's not soufan when it happens to you today was
1:12 am
a dark day in the history of the united states capitol witness yesterday was not the scent. it was not disorder it was not protest it was chaos a shameful chris made or an argument it was an embarrassment and dual sides came out of this looking ugly the right to storming america's quaint temple of democracy the left for pretending they're actually against violent protests despite months of riots and violent b.l.m. demonstrations and fiasco the season the sort of thing that's supposed to happen in america this is banana republic that we're watching happen this is what you expect to see in a banana republic journalists with equally confused a feeling of disbelief seemed to grip them to surreal i feel like i'm talking to a correspondent reporting from the you know bogota c.n.n.
1:13 am
quickly became the subject of ridicule online as they haven't been attempts to storm the colombian parliament in decades to into also had a stellar movement listing who and why do venezuela's self-proclaimed president among the leaders who condemned what happened in capital hill who won why do over the past few years has repeatedly attempted a violent seizure of power attacks an army base and even climbed over the parliament fence him self *. what happened will stay in america's record for good this isn't something that you can just forget 4 people dead the halls of congress should the fault and the terrible precedent since. we spoke with daniel schorr a professor of latin american and caribbean studies he says washington has tarnished his reputation as a bastion of democracy. these very. pro-american
1:14 am
references to a banana republic harkens back to the challenge of colonialism when the us invaded that eye which is 14 salim's in the beginning of the 20th century they want to project that this is a pristine democracy because how can they justify tensions with. one mosque ownby jame in holcim in city if they don't have their own house in order for us let's be very clear we're talking about a democracy for the plutocrats and technocrats and big capital big money then yes the united states is a democracy if we're talking about democracy by and for the people not by and for the rich the ruling class. in the united states is a disgrace in terms of very serious measure of democracy vice

president elect obama harnesses tweeted that they weighed the place went to capitol hill right was very different to how they behaved during the b.l.m. protests. we witness dismissed him suggested when we so wanted let extremists stormed the united states can't deny there that really steer ghassan peaceful protesters last summer. former u.s. diplomat jim gentry says violent protests is tolerated only in certain cases. all
1:16 am
along this year we've been seeing great destruction our city is in the name of you know racial justice and and so forth and there has been sort of a deferential attitude toward these rights like well these people are upset because george floyd so forth they have been able good cars behind them and i think we see mr biden's remarks is not so much an objection to what happened at the capitol yesterday which by the way was nowhere near as destructive as what we've been seeing from black lives matter in 94 all year but rather to demonize the people themselves to say that people who question the conduct of this election and that's what's at fault the cause behind their actions is what's really at fault and i think one with the things we're going to see is they're going through the book and anybody was ever identified as going into the capitol here they're going to be prosecutor they're going to be thrown in jail for decades probably in a way that you know a complete reversal what come along here has said this was not done to the people we're burning down america's cities this summer. and staying with our team when you say after the break.

and. chancellor angela merkel has warned the most difficult months in the fight against the corona virus pandemic still lie ahead earlier in the week the country's national law down was extended until the end of january germany's also started a mass vaccination program but the rollout has been slammed for being too slow and speeds not the only hurdle to getting people inoculated to all over explains. germany's vaccination program had been criticized for moving at a glacial pace but once it got under way just over a week ago it was to much fanfare. this is the beginning of the end of the pandemic
1:19 am
then we started to see expectations begin to be road back i mean we have delivered 1300000 work seems to the federal sees 200 than 65000 have been vaccinated but you have to take into consideration that there is still room to improve that then turned into angular merkel's government coming in for harsh criticism for the way they've handled this. in the face of the high infection numbers and the dramatic number of deaths it is rights to extend the lock down and we will surely only see a change after we have started properly vaccinating we have excellent vaccination centers but far too few vaccines health minister again spahn has come in 1st something of a roasting in writing this week from his party's coalition partners the social democrats their leader germany's vice chancellor and finance minister all up schultz demanding to know why it appeared that the country hadn't ordered enough
1:20 am
doses of the vaccine other developed nations have ordered significantly higher vaccine quantities in relation to population mr schultz isn't the only one putting the boot in on angler merkel's government's handling of this phase of the pandemic there have been further calls from within the ruling coalition for a full investigation at bundestag and european parliamentary level. ms merkel and mr spawn a swore in the oath of office to prevent harm to the german people he had both entrusted the procurement of the vaccines to amateurs hundreds of thousands of elderly people and can home staff who are waiting for their vaccines and the european idea itself and now suffering from their failure this scandal must be cleared up health minister yen spahn insists that enough doses of the vaccine were ordered and that germany having not received them is down to production issues not
1:21 am
a lack of preparedness he has made the promise that everyone in germany that wants a vaccine will be able to get worn by the middle of this year despite that promise it's hard to deny that it's not everything has gone smoothly. germany was held office wall of those nations that handled the early phases of the pandemic best but there has been a sharp increase in the number of deaths connected to covert 19 here in recent weeks and with an election coming up in september everything the current government does is being tracked and traced her all over r.t. . the u.k.
1:22 am
is also struggling with the pandemic with a new strain of kovi tearing its way through the population in their bid to stem the spread and to increase the vaccination rates the authorities have decided to increase the gap between the 2 jabs required for inoculation from the usual 3 weeks to 12. in terms of protecting priority groups a model where we can vaccinate twice the number of people in the next 2 to 3 months is obviously much more preferable in public health terms than one where we vaccinate half the number but with only slightly greater protection new studies have shown that in the short term the effectiveness of just one dose of the pfizer vaccine is 90 percent the world health organization recently changed its advice regarding vaccines recommending greater flexibility in how they're administered it is important that such a decision that it presents a safe compromise between the limited global production capacity at the moment and

the imperative for governments to protect as many people a sponsible whether reducing the burden of any subsequent of a for the health systems we spoke with the w.h.o. special envoy on covert 19 about the new advice. each time a mutation occurs in a bar s. and they are cursed so but often there will be the possibility of new strains emerging mostly after a mutation the virus just dies but very occasionally it survives and you get a variant the variants that have been discovered are associated with sudden changes in the part of the virus that scott the spike on it that sticks on to human cells. lockdown is designed to reduce transmission by reducing contacts and the new
1:24 am
variant that is being discovered in kane. is now clearly why widespread is small transmissible so that does mean that if you want to get the same effect from the lock down with the new variant it has to be eban tougher but you know there's a limit as to how tough you could make a lot down in any society without then damaging the society so that's why all governments have really very very tricky choices right now they have to decide to what degree they're prepared to ask their citizens to put up with pain and inconvenience for the sake of getting the transmission to stop. one position being taken by the u.k. based on the realities of the situation in the u.k. there's another position taken by a group called say in w.h.o.
1:25 am
which is based on the protocols that were used for developing the back saying and that difference is ok any government has the right to say of a back seeing the day will adopt the basic rules for its use because of some circumstances inside the country. and that's what's happened in the u.k. in their guidance for how their back scene is going to be used they have shifted from what was in the original trial specification for the vaccine the w.h.o. has not come out saying that is a desirable thing to do as is correct but at the same time the people involved in the w.h.o. devise a very clear that sometimes governments will adopt their own roles because they have to. numerous key technologies also to further disrupt

1:27 am
everything in their lives and when it comes to all it takes will be using social media even more. every nation right now wants to become a technology and to do that we have to attract this talent in the world of talent engineers scientists. but. when you look at designer babies you look at the idea that very soon we did being the personality with the skin color or the i.q. both your children this these kind of beliefs are going to push countries in very different order and then again the established rules based order gets disrupted
