overwhelming fraudulent narrative being forced on the american people and that created the atmosphere in which a legitimate compelling i would say overwhelming evidence of voter fraud insider manipulation of the vote was dismissed as conspiracy theory people who want to be in and silence others that simply means that they cannot win a fact based debate that they're not interested in honest electoral competition or a battle of ideas they have no ideas other than central control and socialism rather than doing away with our constitutional rights and now what we see is an effort to take what happened tragically at the capitol and use it as an excuse to curtail our civil liberties even further this is a dangerous dangerous slope for america. well you can watch the full interview with roger stone on our team or the press and online as well portable dot t.v.

12:18 pm
europe correspondent peter all over takes up the story. the commission president is on the phone the line is struggling to keep the states in line when it comes to vaccines she's warned the nations not to try and do their own deals the only framework we are negotiating in is as $27.00 we do this together and nonmember state on this legal binding basis is allowed to negotiate in parallel or to have a contract and parallel the loudest voice unhappy at brussels being in sole charge of banksy procurement is coming from hungary with prime minister viktor orban saying the current plan could lead to months more of a lock down if we only rely on western vaccines the restrictions will have to be maintained for several more months if we can find a safe and proven vaccine elsewhere we can speed up the process mr all bonds wants budapest to be able to choose its own deals i don't think we have to wait for the
12:19 pm
vaccine as part of the union we agreed that we'd wait but the process is going so slowly that i think it's time to act and get the vaccine ourselves all the vaccines that have been tried in other countries have to be considered so in addition to the west we are also negotiating with the israelis the chinese and the russians the e.u. commission says that their plan will provide enough vaccine to cover everyone in the e.u. and then some of the whole portfolio covers $2300000000.00 doses of vaccine so this is more than enough to vaccinate the whole european population ever the euro skeptic in the block the hungarian prime minister also pointed to a fresh she breaks that in britain the vaccine program there is something to emulate the british instead of letting brussels do its negotiated for themselves
12:20 pm
and are in a much better position now earlier in the week the e.u. approved the u.s. money for truth majid. if i see that use it will be rolled out on monday across the e.u. alongside the pfizer take see peter all of that r.t. . well let's go to neighboring france from there where the covert crisis is showing no sign of letting up with a rhonda 1000 new cases being recorded every day restrictions they have been tightened across the country in recent weeks heaping pressure on business owners charlotte tube and ski reports. france remains under couvade restrictions the border with the u.k. will also remain closed for the moment for all but essential travel reasons the prime minister confirming what many fear that. the time cause and come to return to normal was to meet one person to intensive care every 7 minutes and one in 2 people in intensive care their focus of 90. that means the curfew currently set at 8
12:21 pm
pm in most parts of france will continue at least for the next few weeks while a further 10 departments saying there could be tightened that will not start at 6 pm borders restaurants cultural places all hope to be opening in the next 2 weeks that's now been pushed back with mid february looking more likely another blow to a sector which says it is all new verge of collapse. from 5 to 7 pm least where people leave work so there's obviously a lot of turnover because when people leave at 5 they want to have wandered around so the situation has now been complicated. this 2 hour difference has a serious effect in revenue it's the time when people come in and try things so as a bakery clients no longer come in but nutritionally decimated 85 percent of our sales revenue between $5.00 and 7 pm so there's
12:22 pm
a restaurant we try and get by we're now being hit even harder so we look for new solutions to survive front which has been criticised for being slow to roll out the vaccine program again 19 is also seeing a roy's in a new variant that was detected last month in the u.k. variant is said to spread much faster now the government says it's stepping up its vaccination campaign and there will be 600 centers open by the end of january but is also struggling to convince the many citizens that they need to her. the jab. and i wish we i'm a dentist so why was it is important to shore call and say no patients that works in nation make sense if you want to stop have endemic we need to go through this it

12:24 pm
virus like all viruses in general is constantly mutating all of its varieties both the one that was identified in the u.k. and the one that was noted in south africa could also go through the path of mutation as a result the virus becomes more infectious meaning it spreads faster not more powerful but more contagious but this may well happen in france in the case of those who have not traveled either to the u.k. or south africa do not know anyone who would associate themselves with these so-called patients 0 so in the end the mutated virus is more or less infectious wish justifies the control measures the risk. strictures the masks and all the precautions in general to reinforce. well the pandemic has spell disaster for many businesses not only in france of course but across the globe we talk to some struggling owners about the challenges they are facing. if there is nothing we will be shutting down probably by march that's the realistic
