or is it more in the idea of a traditional just. power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle the very real. struggle on r.t. . 10 am here now in the headlines this wednesday grim footage from a german incriminatory i'm highlighting the extent of a surge in covert pandemic europe wide amid claims that the country's ignoring solidarity on corona virus vaccine purchases. you'll see what you see in the ritual record service really i'm sure for good. in the u.k. police. violators but it caught on camera apparently breaking the very rules they're trying to enforce and. you tube has joined the list the tech companies that have decided to purge donald trump and his followers from their platforms the wave

of bands are sparked accusations of media giants becoming just too powerful. even to go as far as the biggest drunk with power like in gorged they are now controlling pretty much the entire communications system all over the wall. quoting from moscow you want to go to international live with me kevin 0 in 30 minutes of the latest from us this wednesday for you good to have you company 1st in europe suffering a fresh surge in covert cases with france germany and spain registering some of the highest daily rates and footage of merging this is grim for one of germany's worst affected regions highlighting just how bad the situation has become some 300 bodies piling up in a queue for a section increment already and the coffin. one on top of another often simply

described with the words like or infectious risk. it comes as european union struggles to maintain unity of a covert vaccine purchases brussels is urging member states to adhere to the block centralized distribution scheme but it seems few heeded the call at the moment as a europe correspondent peter oliver explains. the european union's one for all and all for one vaccine plan as co-op against the problem of members self interest when it comes to obtaining the jobs germany has snapped up an extra 13000000 doses of the pfizer vaccines being criticized by its partners for doing so it is selfish behavior to buy medicine by yourself disrespecting common decisions is another example of the german policy of respecting their own interests above the interests of other e.u. countries berlin insists it is playing by the rules and that those extra doses

won't be sent out until the vaccine is being dispatched across the rest of the european union germany says the real problem lies with problems when it comes to production it's not correct to see the germany secure vaccines at the expense of other countries. don't see it we have ordered enough vaccines and the question is how can they be produced how fast they can be produced and if we would have ordered more it would not have been possible to produce it quicker the shortage is due to the lack of production capacity it isn't just germany that's being accused of looking out for itself cyprus is courting israel for vaccine delivery saying that the european union isn't forthcoming with the new doses to provide a mass switch to rollout the initial indications were very encouraging but at some point there was a setback in its effectiveness 2 companies came up with the vaccine 1st phase the

buy into can be done but the number of vaccines is not enough for rapid mass vaccination e.u. commission president has live on the line is telling member states to cut it out into it here to the plan that they all agreed on we have all agreed legally binding that there will be no parallel negotiations no parallel contracts so the framework we are all working. in is a framework of 27 together and we are negotiating together we are procuring and together we are bringing forward this vaccination process brussels is calling on member states to come clean about any side deals they may have going on the president has asked commissioner this to send a letter to all health ministers asking them to provide us with all the necessary transparency on the way in which they are complying with the provisions of our vaccine strategy in terms of contacts or lack of contacts rather

with with those pharmaceutical companies that we have been or are negotiating with the commission on doing themselves any favors demanding transparency from member states when it comes to vaccine procurement when they are being all that clear on who will get what when the 27 agree that brussels would negotiate on their behalf the accusation is that that is being undermined by member states looking out for number one as we see the the e.u. were very slow compared to other countries both in their regulation approvals bowls and there are a vaccination campaigns and. again no surprise that there is one set disaffection we we indeed have of across the across the whole front we have a very poor performance by the european union here but the central administration

of the european union all they managed was to secure so the $100000000.00 doses for a population of $450.00 so taking into account that you need 2 doses per person this was one 3rd of the population for which the vaccine was secured because of some budget constraints. it is officially said so no wonder that the e.u. population is not very happy with that performance in brussels. meantime the red cross has warned that the development of covert vaccines does not mean people should ease up on basic preventative measures we spoke to the head of the humanitarian groups health care department about it. it's something that we need to be prepared and we need to do is physically sensing is avoiding being in crowded places is making sure that one gets gets isolated and people are in contact with somebody sick we are anti and up for some provide the support that is needed and to

the person can go out again these are critical measures that can save thousands of flights until vaccines will be widely available in all countries we can not lower the guard right now because the. researchers are worried about what we have been seeing. the u.k. and in south africa where. developed the further mutations occur we may see potentially also reduction of the effectiveness of some of the vaccine the majority of the world unfortunately not started vaccination programs yet and we know that we need to vaccinate people all over the world to assure safety for everybody around the world so we'll we'll have to accelerate the pace at which a vaccine will be distributed around the world ensuring a mechanism to do so even in that very safe safe way and until that moment the best line of defense will be individual behavior and trying to enforce

what can and can't be done you k. police are increasingly swooping in to find people who break pandemic lock down the structure that right now leaving home without a reasonable excuse could mean a 200 pound fine rising to 6400 pounds for repeat offenders but next a shot had been finding out in force one seems to be wildly inconsistent in places with offices sometimes forced about and even apparently a few flouting the rules themselves. despite the u.k. being in a full scale national lockdown kovac 9 6 100 cases a soaring and death rates are constantly hitting records the public has been ordered to stay at home once again but it seems not everyone is sticking to the rules and with rule breakers rule makers have given the place more power to clamp down on the law if you do not play your part ourself with peace officers who are out there risking their own lives every day to keep us safe they will enforce the

regulations and i will back them to do so to protect our n.h.s. and to save lives and england and wales police of issued 8000 penalties since november but leading by example isn't exactly their strong point you know so if you sit down in the restroom very coy service firmly on. the what you're doing right now. some officers are not as eager to abide by the rules as they are to enforce them to women who try 8 kilometers to meet up for a walk and found themselves surrounded by police their offense carrying coffee that made to the picnic so they were fined $200.00 pounds each in fact they were strictly following the rules as police later admitted worsening the fines and giving a half hearted apology look we martin being our crew. is an operational marker and if it's not take out confiscating private it snowballs chop

shipley's of starts and throws with $200.00 pounds fines there have been 2 reports of snow balls being thrown last night between 11 and 11 30 pm this is obviously not a justifiable reason to be out of your house these behavior is likely to result in a 200 pounds fixed penalty notice for breaking the locked on rules the treaters since been deleted after dozens of angry complaints but still the message is stay at home we're going to keep the course with you we have to try. we will but we have rules in place we really need now is the moment for some of the troops some of observation observance of the good of the groups although the prime minister himself was spotted cycling 11 kilometers away from downing street so is it a case of one rule for me and another for you shouting at that stache the.

us house representatives have voted on a resolution asking the vice president my pens to invoke the 25th amendment than to start impeachment proceedings against donald trump however pence's already stated he's going to reject the call adding that attempts at a 2nd impeachment are not the best course of action in his view for the country i do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our nation are consistent with our constitution i urge the congress to avoid actions that would further divide and inflame the passions of the moment for the retreat is really a continuation of the greatest which is your politics it's ridiculous i think it's a good thing for a man they get to our country and it was a tremendous anger. as lawmakers attempt to remove from from the white house than tech giants have already all but to raise the president's online presence now you tube join the likes of amazon and facebook and twitter and suspending don from social media pages as well as purging thousands of his followers claiming they

could incite violence all that following last week's storming of the capitol building in washington d.c. which some leading politicians and mainstream media have branded as domestic terrorism but there's a growing pushback to now at the role and power of big online companies as r.t. america's john hardy reports for your next. the twitter hit list continues the social media site has permanently suspended more than $70000.00 accounts accused of promoting conspiracy theories or violent rhetoric including most prominently banning donald trump from the platform friday concluding his tweets constituted a risk to public safety and could potentially lead to more violence in the wake of these efforts twitter stocks tumbled as much as 12 percent monday and continued to fall today the crackdown has drawn ire and criticism from some republican lawmakers who say twitter is attacking the president's right to free speech and u.s. lawmakers aren't alone

a spokesman for german chancellor angela merkel said chancellor merkel criticized twitter's trunk ban arguing legislators not private companies should decide on free speech and expression regulations european union commissioner terry britton called the chaos on capitol hill the quote $911.00 moment of social media writing in an op ed for politico that by banning donald trump social media companies have quote recognize their responsibility duty and means to prevent the spread of illegal viral content they can no longer hide their responsibility toward society by arguing that they merely provide hosting services yet he goes on to write that the fact a c.e.o. can pull the plug on posts is loudspeaker without any checks and balances is perplexing adding it is not only confirmation of the power of these platforms but it also displays deep weaknesses in the way our society is organized in the digital space for those who either love or love the dons daily rants and raves well it certainly is

a perplexing time though maybe not exactly surprising twitter and facebook were already flagging trump's posts and seemingly moving in the direction of suspending and or banning him altogether but another question critics of the social media slaughter are raising is why so late in the game with less than 2 weeks in his presidency many contend the social media crackdown should have been. and sooner or not at all others contend it's a dangerous power play by big tech flexing its digital muscles knowing full well that president trump's powers on the eve of his departure from office are more limited in that he doesn't have the time or ability at this point to attack the social media platforms that have launched a full scale war on him and the hits keep on coming for trump deutsche bank now reportedly cutting ties with the dawn of a move that would be a major cut in funding for his hotels and golf courses and speaking of which the p.g.a. announced it would strip trump's new jersey golf club from a major championship tournament next year

a move that reportedly gutted the president for our t.v. john hardy yes on the other side of this nicky had been speaking to a panel of guests whether action must be taken against increasingly powerful tech companies. they just won an election they're going to see how far they can push his this is a stress test to see how far the law will go how long how much people will tolerate and are going to go as far as they can because the drunk with power like it in gorge to kick that is filled with blood just can't get enough of this so where it ends who knows they know which way the wind is blowing donald trump is no longer going to be in the white house almost all of these companies face antitrust suits that are going to be decided by the biden department of justice and so now there is going to be less of a priority to maybe make these arguments internally that donald trump and his account should be protected but these are self interested actors eighty's over the years that they are now controlling pretty much the entire communications system

all over the wall which is unprecedented but we are going to see it please. because it will be a mater of telling the full censorship will be move on to other part of our problem they will credit bardi companies like twitter and facebook and imus and can do this to their own president if they do it anywhere in the well it's to any government they don't like. oh certainly so. they that the largest problems within these companies is that there really is no actual basis for which they are operating there is no bible there is no constitution there is no their terms of service are often edited and malleable and even then subject to vague enough to be subject to the whims of internal discussions within the company this it means that we have to rewrite the 1st amendment in this country because this is a quote private company that 99 percent of all the people on the planet using our

laws are outdated and unless that is changed nothing will change at least in this country now the question who should be more the rating perhaps the series this should be a form of duration but it needs to be transparent so the state of affairs at the moment they don't know who knows what the rationed or mix of the city. is no going to be certainly acceptable when social media platforms where created do you think the creative intended to end like this with a massive bans and censorship. of course absolutely look one of these days we're going to find out that this this this fraudulent story about these kids these nerdy kid who came up with the idea there was so much involvement in not only private equity but in government sponsored this was never intended to be good this isn't some kind of a scrapbook that we keep this was one of the biggest cons that we fell into

line and sinker those dean going to giants and being exposed to all the actually our this is a mission statement to give everyone the power to create things share ideas and information infinitely without barriers now people used to believe this. and you won't believe that anymore i don't think so ai russian made messaging out telegram has seen a surge in popularity in recent days 5600000 downloads since wednesday and 5 people ditching whatsapp which is owned by facebook and in fact turkey is president has just joined telegram as well is that an encouraging sign you think yes rising social media is going to be a benefit the question that i have is are we now bifurcating the internet are we going to totally solve select from the point of adolescence or before or to be handed down by our parents to our children that we now only go on social networks

and only interact with people and they're only hosted on servers that either are liberal or conservative or possibly even more extreme versions of that that to me is a vision that i think is something that is closer today than i've ever known it my laptop. this wednesday well who needs proof when the u.s. secretary of state critics say there is 0 evidence for my poem pios claim that iran is sheltering al qaeda terrorists will tell you more. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

when almost seemed wrong. just don't call. me. yet to say proud disdain become educated and engagement equals a trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. as the trump presidency comes to when the country stares into a political abyss divisions are different now than ever before and dialogue is almost nonexistent talk of compromise is deemed to be treasonous by many this will hardly change.

iran's no harboring the al qaeda terrorist group that's the new claim from us secretary state my pompei 0 who didn't provide any evidence for his allegation though al qaeda has a new home base it is the islamic republic of iran my proposal a geisha and has not been backed up by any publicly available intelligence assessment iran was quick to reject the claim saying it's doing more than any country to fight terrorism indeed the iranian foreign minister had some harsh words for his u.s. counterpart the. from designating cuba to fictitious surrender classifications and al qaeda claims mr will lie cheat and steal is pathetically ending his disastrous career with more warmongering lice it comes a day off the trumpet ministration put cuba back on the list of state sponsors of terrorism of honor been removed from the black list back in 2015 we heard from side

mahabir and the from the university of tehran who said that iran's problems with washington right now predate trump and the country will be taking a cautious approach therefore to the incoming administration as well. as their obama regime that created the maximum pressure campaign in the 1st place that trump repeated although more harshly and it was during the obama regime that iranian scientists were murdered during trial only one was murdered during obama 4 were murdered and of course cyber attacks on iran took place as well during obama so we biden was his vice president know when he runs trust him but if he decides to do the smart thing and implement the nuclear deal and fully iran will do so as well but iran will accept no preconditions and it will not accept any changes to the nuclear deal nor will it negotiate its defense capabilities especially with american bases surrounding iran and it will not negotiate its regional alliances.

footage is a merger to moscow of the like cohen israel's top spy of the 1960 s. who became a senior military advisor to syria and helped israel win the 6 day war that captured the golan heights lollywood stars such a baron cohen betrayed his amazing story in the western streaming series the spy you can watch our new documentary live footage here of various times throughout the day and also on our site r.t. dot com. this is key like cohen a super spy who some consider a national hero and others and evil villain an israeli. it was handwritten on the boxes. and then step by step i began to unravel the story back in 1963 couldn't even imagine whom he had probably caught on camera. phone was close to the highest authorities of syria he was around the soviet spies

and was proficiency in transmit a signal interceptions in the center of damascus was where all our protagonists could run into each other at some point and considering they lived there for about 3 years is a very good chance that it indeed happened. actually the own town was where bodies lukin used most of his 8 millimeter film stock. and then one day but he's lukin turned his camera on and he is who it caught. it was january 19th 65 when israeli agents in like oh i was tracked by intelligence services. soldiers and several plainclothes to me entered cowan's apartment right when he was using a radio to transmit some messages to tel aviv cohen was caught red handed his execution in damascus was broadcast live. there is no direct evidence that bodies lukin personally played

a part in exposing cohen said it was he who narrowed down the area where the israeli spy was found that he was in the car that scoured the city of course not. but he's looking was in damascus at that time people formed his duties as a military signalman and his tour in syria ended in 1965 the year that cohen become a serious adverse 3 for syria and the soviet union was executed. town without pity. that was what damascus had become for israeli spy be like home. encourage more of the various times for the day now a couple of brief news stories to tell you about this 1st a man smashed the glass at the main entrance to new zealand parliament building enormous hurts in what went on there the suspects been arrested on the spot the 31 year olds being charged with possession of an offensive weapon and intentional damage of faces up to 7 years in prison. and what we've got here look at that

i got this 8 millimeter film purely by accident. time period 963 to 65 place damascus. i don't don't know why young. i've watched it many times a man posing the monuments and all poster of the hollywood premiere of town without pretty and a fight in a market though without bruises. i had my doubts if i should waste my time on this but i came back to that film over and over again tracing a sequence of events happening in syria at that time and most of those who works there alone would only give. me an run in which incidentally neal curiosity is like a petrol motion machine it lives on without

a lunch break and then suddenly i saw him stop let's take another look now at low speed this is key like 0 on a super spy who some consider a national hero and others an evil villain an israeli double o. 7. i need because it's but it's them and they at the. at the one you're still. if. i can't show you my face but i'm going to teach you must. in 9093 this man was sentenced to death. they could charged with capital murder even though he didn't have the gun didn't pull the trigger didn't intend to kill anybody imagine living in your bathroom for the week which is the end of the 23 years. i felt that it deserved to be but it added. confined within the green. folks using.
