let it be an arms race of spearing dramatic development only and going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit. in. in our cheese news review of the week pressure approves clinical trials on an express version of its coded vaccine double sputnik light to meet soaring global demand. in the week to grim footage from a german christmas torun piloting the extent of resurgent pandemic in europe as berlin's accused of stockpiling vaccines at the expense of other e.u. members. of the u.s. house of representatives votes to impeach president trump for a 2nd time after an impassioned debate while many on the floor can't wait to see the back of it others say it's more about revenge than justice.

sunday morning here in moscow will malcolm to the weekly with me kevin 0 in our round up of the big stories of the last 7 days as brought by us to you 1st and russia signed off for the week on testing a simplified version of its sputnik vico vaccine with national and global demand growing the new shot dubbed sputnik lite protects for a shorter time but only requires one dose instead of 2 its efficacy was thought to be around 85 percent compared to more than 91 percent for the full version clinical trials involving $150.00 volunteers have been okayed and will continue through the year meantime russia's original covert vaccine keeps gaining traction worldwide mexico is now looking to buy tens of millions of doses and the president of guinea condoms become the 1st african leader to get the job. reports.

the sputnik the vaccine once scorned and maligned is turning into an international bestseller production is surging to an average of 130000 doses a day so $4000000.00 doses over the next month the vaccine has already been approved in algeria and argentina serbia believe in a other countries and move by as a lineup i can say the vaccine is affected more than 90 percent based on the trial doubts and also less allergic reaction that ability skill ability cost all these or the pet me to a better idea for any vaccine to roll out. one of the sputniks biggest advantages over the competition aside from price is that it's easier to transport or to store so a simple fridge will do the 5 of them and then the vaccines they require deep freeze as low as minus 70 degrees celsius so cold storage which isn't widely available in

much of the developing world which is most of the world this is a 1st world problem that they have it has to be stored so cold so we're straight in the ticking of us walls in america but for the continent of africa this is not even start you know even a place to start but if that scene is easier to just store it with maybe less you know sophisticated storage material for another way of getting it out to the population for the globe that is more excessive all is it's very important palestine the night the vaccine by israel has become the 1st in the middle east to greenlight sputnik the main thrust of the uniqueness of this what they will see that it's using a genius does this it's a lot the sims and universe has been used in both those as it is different in order to reduce the immune response to. the other the.

search because of that they believe because it is a good chance to know that the different is in the next in india the russian shot has just passed phase 2 trials without a hitch with only phase 3 to go will read the deals have been signed to produce 300000000 do the sputnik in india the phase 2 study in india showed a very good safety profile we are working closely towards fast tracking the launch of the sputnik the vaccine in india all in all few nations are putting all their money on anyone who saw that see anything could happen from supply shortages to unforeseen side effects. like the pfizer vaccines allergic reactions which is why it makes sense to make sure that you've got different jabs. europe in the week suffering a new surge in covert cases with france germany and spain registering some of the

highest daily rates of the last 7 days and footage of merged from one of germany's worst affected regions to highlighting just how bad the situation has become it wasn't nice to see some 300 bodies piling up in a queue for a criminal room in saxony the coffin stacked one on top of the other often simply only labeled with words like coded and infectious risk. it comes as the european union struggles to maintain unity over covert vaccine purchases to brussels urging member states to keep to the block centralize distribution scheme but not all seem to be holding to the agreement peter all of a told us about that in the week. the european union's one for all and all for one vaccine plan is corp against the problem of members self interest when it comes to obtaining the jobs germany has snapped up an extra $30000000.00 doses of the pfizer and maternal 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 were be sent out until the vaccine has been dispatched across the rest of the european union germany says the real problem lies with problems when it comes to production would see it that 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 and to adhere 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 $27.00 together we are negotiating together we are procuring and together we are bringing forward this vaccination process the commission aren't doing themselves any favors demanding transparency from member states when it comes to vaccine procurement when they aren't 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 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 unsaid disaffection we we indeed have an across the across the whole front we have a very poor performance by the european union a year by the central administration of the european union and 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 the e.u.

population is not very happy with their performance in brussels. meantime european commission president ursula vaughn's alone in the way demanding a covert certificate issued to everyone who gets a jerk. it is absolutely necessary if you have been vaccinated have a certificate this is a medical necessity a 2nd question is. and this is a political and a legal decision what you allow to do with this or to fix it will cover passports a ping suggested by other states too in poland vaccinated people will be sent q.r. codes to use public services without extra testing airlines are also launching onto your dear a survey for australia's quantas shows that 9 out of 10 people would get inoculated this if it meant that they could travel again however more than half a year of talks around the world to so far failed to get across a border deal to the head of the world travel and tourism council saying people but haven't the job should of course also be allowed to travel. and they don't we

weren't sure is totally against health passports ok and we believe that as well because that can lead to discrimination fortunately there maxine is not available everywhere there are a lot of the violence in countries that they still don't have access to the vaccine i don't see that as the only solution nasdaq's the nation should not be the only consideration currently we have a limited supply and we need to where it buys the more liberal groups we don't have to wait for a vaccine to travel while at the same time people can still travel as long as you have for instance if you're coming from this to nation with cases of quality too and this nation with lower case is of course we will be helpful 2 percent and this is where we have a nasty in. a test negative for call the survey you're allowed to board a plane with a test in massive testing implemented before boarding or before flying what we say

is a digital certificate gain or a paper certificate should be fine you only reason why the digital certificate gate is a stronger is because you avoid corruption or you. boy. fake certificates but a paper said to think and should also be fine we believe that a digital certificate of having a negative test should be enough and we truly believe that we have to protect the health information for the traveler and for people in general. in other news that made the headlines just days before he leaves office donald trump became the 1st us president to be impeached for a 2nd time on wednesday the house of representatives voted to indict him claiming he fermented last week's riots at the capitol building but almost $200.00 congress members came out against the vote to arguing it's no longer they thought about justice more about revenge it's now up to the senate to decide whether or not to

convict trump on charges of inciting in surat should spike democratic party calls for agency the trial won't happen before the president leaves office on wednesday but a decision against could ban him from ever taking office again the expert charles rose spoke to us about that in the week explaining how it could determine his long term future now. since he will have already concluded his term what conviction in the senate would do is open the door to an additional vote on a majority basis only determine whether or not he would be banned from. future public office and i think the odds are very hard to go it would be successful if the larger hurdle is 1st accomplished an actual conviction and in the state prosecutions if they make it to trial there's absolutely no gore he can be pardoned for it at the federal level and if the state of new york for exits were to decide

that they were going to proceed forward with indictment in trial he would get his day in court just like any of the defendant. as congress prepared to debate impeachment these pictures went viral hundreds of national guard troops sleeping on the floor in the capitol building with many online noting the seat of government looked like a military base for a while they were stationed there around the clock following last week's riots which had prompted the impeachment proceedings the president says those involved will be punished and promised a peaceful transition there is never a justification for violence those who engaged in the attacks last week will be brought to justice in washington d.c. we are bringing in thousands of national guard members to secure this city and ensure that a transition can occur safely and without incident ed the efforts to said sir cancel and blacklist our fellow citizens are wrong and they are dangerous

job also had an unusually quiet week online have to be cut off by the major social networks you've been permanently barred now by twitter and snapchat but it is facebook and instagram accounts seem to be back online by friday and karen spoke to legal internet and politics experts in the week but the platforms that have become maybe just a bit too powerful. they just won an election they're going to see how far they can push this 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 drunk with power of 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 it is over years that they are now controlling pretty much the the entire communications system all

over the wall but it will be a matter of time before censorship will be move on to other parts of our problems that will credit bardi companies like twitter facebook and on us and can do this to their own president if they do it anywhere in the well 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 use 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 saudis this should be a form of duration but it needs to be transparent so this state of affairs at the moment they don't know who makes those were the rationed do you think the creative intended to end like this with a massive bans and censorship. of course absolutely look there was so much involvement in not only private equity but in government sponsored equity if this was never intended to be good those didn't and it giants of being exposed for all they actually are this is a mission statement to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and the information age the glee without barriers now people used to believe this does anyone believe that anymore i don't think so 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 their 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. and talk to those big tech companies then it's being called the largest digital migration in history millions of users abandoning what's new terms which would mean sharing more of their data with parent company facebook even global leaders making the switch to more privacy centric rivals such as telegram looking at the trend in the winter. moving to greener pastures has been one of the key drivers of humanity's survival but if in the past people fled from war dictators and natural disasters today we're witnessing

a very 21st century style of mass migration the already massive influx of new users to telegram has only accelerated we may be witnessing the largest digital migration in human history millions have recently chosen to ditch the old new media as messengers and move to even newer ones like telegram or signal and there are 2 big bug bears behind the exodus privacy is the big one whatsapp snooty and see we'll see who is this little footprint shared more with parent firm facebook and who wants to open up even more of the world's most notorious data harvester 2nd as censorship triggers to recent purge of donald trump and his supporters has laid bare the capacity of the internet as gatekeepers to silence anyone they deem to be dangerous that's got other world leaders spooked a suspect the chancellor considers it problematic because the accounts of the us presidents have now been permanently blocked i don't like anybody being censored it's taking away the right to post

a message on twitter facebook i don't agree with that i don't accept that 10 world leaders including the presidents of circ and brazil have already made the switch to telegram much to the appreciation of the firm's founder we are honored that political leaders as well as numerous public organizations rely on telegram to combat misinformation and spread awareness about important issues in their societies unlike other networks telegram doesn't use opaque algorithms to decide whether a subscriber will see content they subscribe to or not as a result telegram channels are the only direct way for opinion leaders to reliably connect with their audiences the internet has represented freedom since its inception it's supposed to be a place where you can read what you want say what you want but arbitrary says. the ship and the big platforms we know which you want better than you do approach is the last straw for many not that titans are prepared to lose business to the

competitors declaring the alternatives nothing short of a threat to society before stamping them out we have always supported diverse points of view being represented on the apps too but there is no place in our platform for threats of violence and illegal activity we cannot provide services to a customer that is unable to effectively identify and remove content that encourages our incites violence against others parlor one of the biggest alternative social networks was wiped off line in a matter of days following the capitol riots and now even telegram is facing accusations of being a haven for conspiracy theorists and far right extremists and that's despite the fact that the company recently removed dozens of groups containing calls to violence but while big texts and to take out competitors might occasionally yield success it doesn't change the fact that social media space is evolving and fast and for many free speech will be the deciding factor in choosing a platform so who will make the move well it seemed turkey's envoy to the czech

republic was one of many politicians switching to messaging up a telegram he told us people have become wary of the traditional tech giants i think in the long run facebook what's out there. by the same or put. have to revise the rules because they have. in a way to scare people we know that there are already a lot of. cases against them for misusing information and there were a lot of court cases but now they're making it public so in a way the secret is now coming out that the information is in you and they are actually getting your consent for it and and they have double standards if you are a what's yours or in germany you have a different conditions but if you are in russia or if you're in turkey if you're in azerbaijan if you are in is that you are entitled to different rules this is not fair we now live in a global village and these kind of forms connect all of us so

technology should not be discriminative technology and communication should be embracing everyone and i think these policies are going to make people feel that they have been isolated and they have been discriminated against. rows of empty shelves at supermarkets in northern ireland expose what critics called a botched divorce between britain and europe in the week new restrictions were slapped on goods shipped from mainland u.k. to northern ireland after britain totally eventually cut the cord in the e.u. this month northern ireland remains part of brussels single market is the issue for logistics here and heads of the big supermarket chains are now calling on the government to sort out the red tape. we recognize the european commission needs to see increased compliance to support the concessions to grant a through the northern ireland protocol but the current proposals in greece

bureaucracy and certification in such a short timescale are unworkable. maybe no surprise to hear the prime minister was questioned in parliament over the supply issues but rather chose to play down the problems. but the moment goods are flowing effectively into normal volumes between great britain and northern ireland so far no lorries have been turned back but that pacify those scottish fishing companies are also furious and while their products are going to waste because of e.u. delivery hold ups bosses are even threatening to dump their rotting seafood outside parliament if they can't get their produce to market in the coming days for breaks apart the emmy people etheridge told us britain's government in his view should be ashamed of itself this should never have got to this point it's absolutely irresponsible and ridiculous that the british government led to this for 8 years ago we should have had the discussion with the you do you want to do trade with us and keep out of our business if the answer was no we should have left off world

trade organization terms with a transition period which was built into what had been agreed that could've made all of this absolutely not no chance of happening instead of that they drove it for the last minute and boris johnson gave grants to the because he was terrified of god alone and he has left the country there a bit without enough delays the really the very reason we're in this position as i said earlier was that we'd be delayed for too long this in the winter this is people who are trying to deny the will of the people delayed this to the point where this is now happens they are responsible and the government has a responsibility to sort itself out they created this mess not the people who voted reds it the government is responsible for the for sore today was. the most the way things shaped up over the last 7 days really are news to you as reported by art international moscow thank you for watching this program my name's kevin owen for me in the team hope you have a great rest of this weekend. nuclear

power become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people are demanding the shutdown of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no care power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational 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 is or powerline with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways our struggle on r.t.

. joined me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to get off of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us

in the depths. or remain in the shallows. i can't show you my face but i'm going to teach you must store 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 with his turn of the 23. but. confined within 4 gray walls the phone it's using. are to help him to leave this room. 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. so what we've got to do is i don't. to fight the threats that we have it's crazy to. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only closely and going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful at very critical time to sit down and talk. 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 pity and a fight in a market so without present this. 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 worked there alone would agree. on any going out which will see no deal 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 cohen a super spy who some consider a national hero and others and evil villain an israeli double o.
