the original limit this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy as are power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways the struggle. the headlines this 60 united nations has had at pfizer after receiving fewer vaccine doses than i had expected the company says it's down to manufacturing upgrades designed to boost production also to come a high profile u.s. democratic party toolmaker calls to rein in the media over decision from a shouldn't leading investigative journalist glenn greenwald talks to us about the possible consequences of free speech. there on their knees pleading with. billionaires are always in my model to sort time proudly exists and serve in the

way that they will be best for everybody to be a teacher and are you ready to get cooking with creepy crawlies experts say that meal worms a safe for human consumption. just on 7 pm it will scare you but the international are several you countries a furious after they received far fewer doses of the vaccine than expected 6 countries were say they were given very short notice while pfizer blamed the shore for a manufacturing upgrades to boost production but more details has to meet free. europe is in panic the cobra crisis is far from under control growing numbers of cases keep breaking daily records agreements warriors are overwhelmed and an end to lock downs is nowhere in sight and now to make matters worse by user has announced it

has to temporarily decrease shipments of its covert vaccine and the patient facilities and processes and the factual requires new quality tests and approvals from the authorities as a consequence a few doses will be available for a peon countries and the end of january and the beginning of february this temporary reduction will affect all european countries pfizer added that the delays are necessary to make improvements to its production line meant to boost the amount of vaccines that can roll out but for many european states that are struggling with the surgeon code cases the announcement came as an unexpected blow and health ministers are furious this situation is unacceptable not only does it impact the planned vaccination schedules it also decreases the credibility of the vaccination process the delay has only added to the many issues that european countries are currently faced with now people who have already taken the 1st might not get the 2nd one on time the pharmaceutical giant promised to make up for the delayed

shipments in coming months and it seems to me you brass are happy to take their word for it pfizer and mouths delays i immediately called the c.e.o. of pfizer he reassured me that all guaranteed doses of the 1st quarter will be delivered in the 1st quarter the european commission has been working tirelessly to secure enough doses of the most promising vaccines we have access to enough doses of vaccine to vaccinate over 80 percent of the european population but these reassurances have done little to quell outrage from member states who have been fuming over the sluggish pace at which the vaccines have been destroyed. it especially when compared to other countries the situation is exacerbated by the fact that states cannot get hold of the vaccines directly they rely on the commission to purchase and distribute the jabs among

member states but with a shortage of supplies and difficult storage requirements of minus 70 degrees celsius the approach has not proven effective and countries are struggling to meet inoculation targets experts fear all these shortages and delays could lead to people losing interest in getting vaccinated at all jeopardizing immunization goals it might have. put in 0 new give cause. to fall in the 1st place people all my degrees even more in their interest to get what you need to people we would get there it would get to be more of us who are bothered whether this is a can we give to living if we do this weekend. which is. it really is that the lazy production and believe it or disprove work to do different degrees they would sit surely there. all of

those plans that are different for 30 different countries but really how if you would understand this it's not. all the governments but the fallacy or the producer of the or sees. short of it there is that interest then because if you look for it to be affected that much. donald trump's facebook and instagram accounts have been restored although so far there's been no new activity on them they were suspended following last week's riots which saw from supporters storm the capitol building in washington twitter and other social networks also the platform the president who's accused of incitement in today's edition of artes on contact chris hedges discusses the growing sense ship hours of unelected tech executives with the investigative journalist glenn greenwald you can catch the full show later on r.t. america and also on. i partly it's liberal way and it's

a lot of writing are very much on board with the idea that you cannot have free speech to. whatever they want to call it likes or imus terror is right when your extreme is on because it's simply too dangerous and not only should the free speech be restricted i lost my congress which would have to be amended 1st man and put it well and they're on their knees pleading with. billionaires in iowa garson monopolists and so it's on bally to censor in the way that they believe is politically advantageous if you want to go on twitter and post a link to the new york post reporting on. a lot of information about what joe biden was doing in ukraine what he was doing i don't as an entrepreneur you couldn't even post a link to a band if he spoke out or it leah now wants through

a longtime democratic party operative now works as a spy are never going to process the spread of that story that was stunning intervention on the part of silicon valley let's talk about removing donald trump from social media platforms i think even the shopping was of the shopping network i mean and why that's dangerous a dangerous precedent i've been really interesting. that numerous world leaders including ones famously after known to use relationship with president trump stood up and very ounce twitter's decision. to ban president trump from the popular myth includes chance for merkel who is a center right politician with you trying to. argue for it almost entire presidency why because they're extremely concerned that these private jack nobly who they

cannot battle the e.u. has been trying to break up you go and break up they split for years and he simply keep searching powerful are also coming from their democracies and they know that if facebook and twitter quad president trauma from accessing the internet they know it could be done to them as well and to their countries as well if they simply destroy a competing platform at the urging of people a congressman roe conn congresswoman alexander cacio cortez the issue demands heard on twitter and within 70. 2 hours are all respond from the internet so it doesn't understand why this is so dangerous that our speech i really don't organize on the internet to be heard is concentrated in a. number of so-called belly our guards who exist from the outside of the realm of democratic accountability who operate no transparency and with no.

leading democrats though and i considering whether those on the did to rein in some elements of the media u.s. congresswoman xandra cassio cool tez has joined a growing group demanding a clamp down against this information republicans the fear now that any come down will actually focus squarely on them. reports the congresswoman who is known by her initials is seen as a rising star in the democratic party a o c is all about diversity social justice and protecting civil liberties she communicates with her adoring public primarily through social media with thousands sharing her tweets and live streams why do we need to change people's well being and ability to survive for yet another corporate bailout we need to be really going out to our elected officials offices. and demanding believe no holding back there

but it seems that now alexandria kazuo cortez is a ok with media censorship we're going to have to figure out. how do we rate in our media environment so that you can't just disinformation and misinformation so bridle the news media and teach people how to properly consume news now you can see where this is heading for a o.c.s. critics let's unpack this proposal she wants to basically establish a ministry of truth we've all read 1904 and you know to determine what is truth and what is not so who sits on this committee exactly i'm curious that she's talking about is fine for a member of congress to blast the media president trump has been known to do that now and again but i don't want some federal commission deciding what is false but what a.o. c. wants the government to do is already being done by social media's gatekeepers donald trump and his closest supporters have been taken off of social media one by

one facebook has even banned any reference to stop the steal the catch phrase donald trump supporters used when they said they felt the election was rigged against them and they're finding online hangouts to be much harder to come by at this point we've seen twitter's rival parlor drop from the app stores before being shut down by amazon completely twitter c.e.o. jack dorsey was caught on tape suggesting this is just the beginning we know we are focused on one and it just is going to be much bigger just on it so. i would. also. much longer term around this over time. but don't believe this is going away and politicians have long been accused of being slow on the digital uptake but they seem to be learning 1st hand who really has the power over what we hear see and read in these increasingly

polarized times mean that open conversation is needed more than ever but the billionaires who hold the keys now have all the cards they love my. r.t. new york was still ahead corporate america appears to be playing its passing dividing the country some of the biggest companies are pulling financial support from lawmakers who backed president trump take a closer look on this a bit later on in the program. now india has planning to inoculate 300000000 people as it starts phase one of the world's biggest covert vaccination program to begin with centers like this one in new delhi will only handle a 100 people a day health care workers are among the 1st in line and asher zeneca and india's coke vaccine are the 2 shots that have received emergency approval the country suffering heavily from the virus with more than 10000000 reported cases. meanwhile

thousands turned out for an down rally in the austrian capital on saturday afternoon it coincided with health officials there suggesting that restrictions may need to be extended later this month austria has been under strict lockdown measures since the end of december in which all non-essential businesses remain shut people are only allowed to leave work sorry leave home for work medical visits exercise groceries the health minister says the. man's the country is now entering the most difficult phase of the pandemic. same with me because a british police force is resorting to a bit of public shaming to try and combat violations leicestershire police have posted body cam video on twitter saying that they use shoot over 140 fines to people flouting the rules across a single weekend. let me give you a point of it because. you come way out.

here you can be chillin you can leave home to go to work you can each work you go straight. well if you. or. if you don't watch the news would you think you're impervious or. realize it so. you know you're in the wrong. of the deputy police chief described the reasons given by violate is as ridiculous and inexcusable they range from boozing parties described as business meetings to people venturing out to get their nails done. but i purchased a security expert we told he does say it's a questionable use of police resources which could well back fun just because this pandemic is affecting the country and the government have made a real mess also in a situation now does that mean that we should go out and invade people's privacy

just because they're not my able to follow all of the rules but yes they are breaking the rules but is a good idea so unless the police force already think it's a good idea to publicly name and shame on what we do know from criminologist and psychologist from the broken windows theory this is actually a very poor idea what the theory says is when there is evidence of misbehavior when there is evidence of civil disobedience if you put that to people then you are likely to encourage more civil listen media more criminal behavior and more serious behavior so i don't think this is a policy that's been thought through i think it's a knee jerk reaction somebody is thought it would be a good idea but clearly a very poorly misinformed and is this really need that best way of leicester police bending their time and efforts in the making of videos. so that he decides night time to be a fussy eater the are a pain thing to safety agency says it's not ok to eat these meal worms will chew over the pros and cons just awful.

aesop's fables caution us to be careful what we wish for because it might just come true after 4 years of donald trump the democrats are triumphantly retaking power in the united states is that a cause for celebration or concern. the world is driven by shaped by our own personal there is.

no dares thinks. we dare to ask. him back now they are a healthy nutritious and easy on the environment but would that be enough to convince you to add worms to your daily diet or european food safety authority has done research which does claim that beetle larvae is safe for humans to eat and it's now up to the members to decide whether they should be made available. this 1st european food safety agency risk assessment of a new soup does normal food going to be the way for the 1st e.u.

word approval or risk of illusion is a disservice at the nursery in the regulation of normal foods by supports and policy makers in the e.u. in may concerns because decisions and ensuring the safety of consumers believe it helps to whet your appetite the un's food and agriculture agency says insects are a good source of protein and fiber and the big benefit for the planet is that their production does not produce a lot of greenhouse gases and it's also a much lower risk to of the spread of animal to human diseases so so far so good but researchers do say that studies are still inconclusive and more work is needed they say on missing playing that the worms do you contain case in which is perfectly safe for most people but it can cause a severe reaction for some and is or say found in shellfish either way you still have to decide whether you'd want to try that there are cognitive reasons derived from our social and cultural experiences the so-called yuck factor that makes the

thought of eating insects 3 palance to many a year of beans with time and exposure is such entities again change lower costs and prices could enhance food security and new demand will open economic opportunities to you but these could also affect existing sectors nikki arrant talk to campaigners on sustainable farming poverty and also animal rights to see if they have any bay for bad eating bugs. we've got a rising population globally we have real real concerns about food security i think the issue is about having a 3rd that's sustainable 'd that is for the whole has relatively negative impacts so i think the option is one as very much of navigating in 6 is just served perpetrates yes these are these are necessary in the end because certain cities are needs so if i'm with the matter of going for jobs or in which we have to divide our consumption money several times like we have to needs in terms

less because it is sufficiently cars are very carbon intensive the majority of current footprint of animal or her culture comes from remove them so they chose cheap i think that a lot of been brought in but let's think the cow is worth but the environment recent research oxford university suggested that the calculations that food and agriculture organization the u.n. organization has made about the contribution that ruminant animals that's cows and sheep make towards climate change is being exaggerated so actually if we factor in the way it which house grazing pasture could contribute towards locking up carbon in the store that cancels out then we 'd say their visions i'm familiar with may work because i used to use them for fishing bait and to treat my pets whereas the boy and it's it's good that the european regulators say sake but i don't personally fancy it i'm stuck with

a little bit at the yuck factor intuitively i don't think they're going to part called a major part of the future diet of 21st century humanity i think we really need to settle review this illusion that people have problems with insects in the market is approaching many people that buy a protein drinks across europe at the moment to get a protein drink which says it contains protein. quite often that protein is produced for us more and more people are beginning to sukhumi in should introduce parts of london you can buy. chocolate. flavored salt you carol locusts and all sorts of things oh i don't think it's a matter of if y. or it's just a matter of is. already here and if it would work to give it a trendy name it will be comes on the books more people except. those

who was large parks. major u.s. corporations have pulled financial support from politicians who have spoken out in favor of donald trump that's despite the firms themselves having previously pumped huge sums into the president's party such detail except corporate america's efforts now have to fit in with the incoming democratic administration. donald trump free fall from the american president to enemy number one is always complete but it turns out guilty by association too if you voted for trump you voted for the person who claimed supported you voted for the person who nazis support you voted for the person who the all right supports that's the crowd that you're in apart from being heckled is that nazi having a trump sign a new yard might cost you your twitter account but for lawmakers on the hill

loyalty to the president has come at a much higher price over we're not yet making contributions to this point in the election cycle nike's political action committee will not support any member of congress who ignores these principles of democracy including those who voted to decide to fire the electoral college results for some it was news that mike even donated to the red tape and they did 150000 dollars in 2020 while the democrats got handed over a 1000000 so besides being a monster crossan jumping on the boat onto our gun nike's move it was also a mosque across in forgetting that when your going to take the moral high ground you better make sure you will clean as some whistle yourself nike uses slave labor politicians should be refusing their donations like anyone cares nike got rich off the backs and sweat of child labor and pittance wages in asia all good americans should refuse to support them or accept any donations from them and you also better

make sure you're consistent i'm sure that the osa guts of donations to the democrats that objected to the electoral college vote in 2016 asking for a friend after the 200-200-4016 elections democrats cried foul and contested the outcomes as is that constitutional right. don't remember nike pulling its millions than fox because it didn't and neither did any of the dozens of other companies that have now decided the constitution's wrong and republicans need to be taught a lesson disney wal-mart and be amazon and general electric morgan stanley the list goes on some have even gone a step further and ask for a refund take josh hawley to fossella to commit to objecting he's been asked by greeting cards jayakumar to pay back past donations season's greetings seditionist we want our money back who is also being called on to resign and had

a contract for an upcoming book canceled counseling being something holy is generally not a fan of this could not be more william let me be clear this is not just a contract dispute it's a direct assault on the 1st amendment only approved speech can now be published this is the left looking to cancel everyone they don't approve of we'll never know of course but i'm guessing that if trump was still on twitter around about now wads * which would probably be making 8 caps lock parents. unparalleled to see the democrat party acting like such sore winners instead of celebrating and instead of 'd moving forward with their agenda they've instead become even more slight fall and nastier than they were during the 4 years of trim if this is what it truly to be like everyone should be terrified their mission now is engines and blood and i think people are rightly scared you know these people

have absolutely the entire media and big tech industrial complex in their pockets and all i can dimia they have all a big business and they won the election all bets are off. now new earth gemini's mind governing party has chosen. into september's election and potentially become the country's johnson it is 59 year old aman in a shot hey he's currently in charge of germany's most populous state he's also a loyalist who says that a change of direction for the party would be wrong. counsel. people emotionally can be summed up in want to work trust will need this trust as a trust is not to give them this it's not something you can just you have to work for this trust i want to do everything i can to make sure the the c.d.u. c.s.u.

chancellor in the federal election wasn't an entirely clear run to victory for the scheldt he came a narrative 2nd in the 1st round of voting then in the runoff he managed to kill a convincingly to his face his rival the conservative cold. german political science that for martin says the shot may have the party's backing but the polls to tell a different story. he was the only candidate was significant permanents experience and he was indorsed by nearly everybody in the c.d.u. leadership blush it among the 3 who ran today is clearly the most pragmatist on foreign policy in the sense that he also pretty much like uncle merkel sees german policy towards china through the lens of an export nation exporting high end to industrial products lush it among the 3 was the one who is i think prole the completion of north stream 2 pipeline the other 2 were either undecided or against it so i think we won't see

a complete reorientation but i think among the 3 what's the least sort of transatlantic assist at the moment in the poles who the german public would like to see chancellor replacing uncle or markel from the. camp of the c.d.o. and it's been very and sister party see as you keep a very in state premier marcus souter is well ahead of flush it the decision will not happen tomorrow think they decided to do this in april and there are important state elections for the c.d.u. and some of the german lenders so we'll see what the polls say in april when that decision comes. to 7 here in moscow so that brings up later this hour back again in about 30. so we've got to do is identify the threats that we have crazy confrontation let it

be an arms race is on all fronts very dramatic development the only way i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and tom. i got this 8 millimeter film purely by accident. time period 963 to 65 place damascus. i was old don't know why young. i've watched it many times a man posing new monuments an old poster of the hollywood premiere of town without pity and a fight in a minute so 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 the time and most of those who worked with the would on radio. which will certainly know neal curiosity is like a petrol motion machine did 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 cohen a super spy who some consider a national hero and others an evil villain an israeli double o. 7. i need because it's bad some. good at the one sure still.
