dramatic development only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down in. t's news review of the week rush or approves clinical trials on the express version of its covert vaccine dubbed sputnik lite to beat soaring global demand. grim footage from a german incriminatory and came in the highlight the extent of the resurgence in europe in accused 2 of stockpiling vaccines at the expense of other e.u. members. of the news the u.s. house of representatives voted to impeach president trump for a 2nd time after the impassioned debate while 'd many on the floor can't wait to see the back of him others say it's more like revenge justice.

hello there early sunday afternoon here in moscow welcome to the weekly with me kevin though in a round of all the big stories of the last 7 days as reported by us great every company so 1st russia has signed off on testing a simplified version of it sputnik the covert vaccine with national and global demand growing the new short sputnik light pretext for a shorter time but only requires one dose instead of 2 it's efficacies thought to be around 85 percent compared to the more usual $91.00 for the full version 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 alpha condoms become the 1st african leader to get the job is a senior correspondent. 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 the a other countries and move as well lining up 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 all the pet meter that are already in for any vaccine to roll out. one of the scrutiny experienced 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 wells in america but for the continent of africa this is not even start you know even a place to start sputnik 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 the worse in that it's using a genius does this it's a lot the sim and universe has been used in both those as it is different in order to reduce the immune response to. the other the. because of that they believe because it is a good chance to know that the lesbo difference 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 this of 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 jobs especially with the news coming in of the week to the europe was suffering in new surgeon covert cases with france germany and spain registering some of the highest daily rates and footage emerged from one of germany's worst affected regions are just the situations become

just a snapshot. but sad to see in this quiet time some 300 bodies piling up in a queue for a crime a tourism in saxony those coffin one atop the other often the last days there's simply worded covert or infectious risk. it comes as 0 opinion struggles to maintain the unity of a coded vaccine purchases then back to that brussels is urging member states to keep to the block centralized distribution scheme but not all seem to be holding to the agreement as our europe correspondent found out. the european union's water for all and all for one vaccine plan has corp against the problem of members self interest when it comes to obtaining the jobs germany has snapped up an extra 30000000 doses of the pfizer and dern of 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. 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 north 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 of biotech 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 together we are negotiating together we approach your ring and together we are bringing forward this vaccination process the e.u. 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 e.u. $27.00 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 both in there are a vaccination campaigns and. again no surprise that there is unsaid disaffection we we indeed have a 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 we 100000000 do. this 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 that it is officially said so no wonder that the e.u. population is not very happy with that performance in brussels but despite all the

distribution problems the rippin commission president demanding to covert certificate speech issue to everyone who does manage to get a job. it is absolutely necessary if you have been vaccinated have a certificate this is a medical necessity a 2nd fresh it is. and this is a political and a legal decision what you allow to do with this or to fit covert passports are being suggested by other states to it in poland vaccinated people will be sold q are codes to use public services without extra testing loans a key to latch onto the idea further a survey for australia's qantas shows 9 in 10 people would get not inoculated they say if it did mean they could travel again any time soon however more than a year or a half a year around the world of trying to negotiate the other brokerage so cross border deals come to nothing versus. the head of the world travel and tourism council

saying introducing covert passports anyway could lead to discrimination. they don't really it sure is totally against health passports ok and we believe that as well because that can lead to discrimination unfortunately the magazine is not available everywhere learn a lot of the violence in countries that they still don't have access to the vaccine i don't see the us 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 kind of still travel as long as you have for instance if you're coming from on this to nation with high cases of quality to learn this nation with lower case is of course it will be helpful 2 percent and this is where we have a nasty in. a test made up before called the survey you're allowed to board a plane with

a test in massive testing implemented before boarding or before flying. just days before he leaves office donald trump became the 1st us president to be in pay. aged 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 arguing it's no longer about justice they said but revenge it's now up to the senate to decide whether or not to convict trump on charges of inciting interaction despite democratic party coals for can see the trial won't happen before the president leaves office on wednesday coming up but a decision against could ban him from taking office again to talk about that in a bit of detail we brought in law experts charles rhodes explaining just how it could determine his long term future now. says 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 would be successful if the larger hurdle is 1st accomplished an actual convergence in the state prosecutions if they make it to trial there's absolutely no gore he can't be part of the federal and if the state of new york for exits were to decide that they were going to proceed forward with an indictment in trial he would get his day in court just like any of the defendant. as congress prepared to debate him pitchman these pictures went viral hundreds of national guard troops sleeping on the floor in the capitol building with many online noting for a bit the say the government was a military base they were stationed there around the clock following last week's riots which had prompted those impeachment proceedings the president says everyone

involved will be punished and promised to peaceful translation 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 the city and ensure that a transition can occur safely and without incident the efforts to said sir cancel and blacklist our fellow citizens are wrong and they are dangerous trumbo also had an unusually quiet week online having been cut off by the major social networks he's been permanently barred by twitter and snapchat but his facebook and instagram accounts seem to be back online by friday in the we spoke to legal internet and politics experts about whether or not the platforms themselves have become 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 eighty's over the years that they are now controlling pretty much the entire communications system all over the wall but it will be a matter of time before since she pulled the move on to other part of the will credit party companies like twitter facebook anonymous 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 thirty's 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 makes those were the rationed do you think they created they 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 this was never intended to be good those dean going to giants and being exposed for all they actually are this is a mission statement to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information into the cli 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 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 dystopian vision that i think is something that is closer today than

i've ever known it my lifetime. this is. what she was this weekend i was talking about big tech and it all fits into our everyday lives these days coming up after the break huge numbers are reported to be ditching a top messaging app over its previous emo's we'll talk about that and more about 90 seconds. 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 trying on friendly retaking power in the united states is that a cause for celebration or concern. the

world is driven by shaped. thinks. we are here to ask. good afternoon from moscow now it's being called the largest digital migration in history millions of users are abandoning what's up over new terms to share data

with parent company facebook for public backlash the platform did delay the move till may but it's already tarnished what steps reputation and even global leaders it seems are switching to more previously centric rivals such as telegram looking at the trend in more detail dimitri poke. 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 bears behind the exodus privacy is the big one triggers to recent purge of donald

trump and his supporters has laid bare the capacity of the internet is gatekeepers to silence anyone they deem to be dangerous that's got other world leaders spooked . the chancellor considers it problematic that 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 censorship and the big platforms we know what you want better than you do approach is the last straw for many not that tech titans are prepared to lose business to the competitors the clear and the alternative is nothing short of a. 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. has made the switch and seems turkey's envoy to the czech republic one of many politicians making the move to messaging up a telegram he told us people of his view become wary of the traditional joists. i think in the long run facebook well it's out so it's are controlled by the same or put this is in makers have to revise their rules because they have in a way scared people the knowledge that there are already a lot of the nation 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 exposing more critics call than a botched divorce between britain and europe new restrictions were slapped on goods shipped from mainland u.k. to northern ireland after britain become a quarter of the e.u. this month of law and remains part of brussels single market which is the problem

hence the logistics headaches heads of the big supermarket chains were calling on the government learn to sort out the red tape. we recognize the european commission needs to see increased compliance to support the concessions granted through the northern ireland protocol but the current proposals increased bureaucracy and certification in such a short timescale are unworkable maybe no great surprise to hear that the prime minister was questioned in parliament over these supply issues but he rather chose to play down the problems. but the moment goods are flowing effective you do normal volumes between great britain and northern ireland so far no lorries have been turned back. what that pacify those scottish fishing companies also furious their warning their products are going to waste because of a huge delivery hold ups bosses or even threatening to dump their rotting seafood outside parliament in the next few days if they can't get their produce to market soon former breaks it party m.e.p. bill etheridge told us in his view britain's government 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 court years ago we should have had the discussion with the do you want to do try it with us and keep out of our business if the answer was no we should've left or we'll try to 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 go it alone and he has left the country there a bit without enough to lease the rig the very reason we're in this position as i said earlier was that would be delayed for too long. this is people who are trying to deny the will of the people delayed this to the point where this is now happened they are responsible and the government has a responsibility to so they created this mess not the people who voted bret's it

the government is responsible the government saw today. and is here now for now that's the way the new shapes up over the last 7 days as reported by r.t. international here in moscow so reminds me to say is thank you for watching this program i'm kevin 0 in for me in the team here have a great rest of the week. nuclear power plants have become a battleground in the us 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 prayer 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 is it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of

a traditional. disappearing democracies are power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways our struggle on r.t. . is you'll be via reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. tyson nation will community. are you going the right way or are you being led. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or

a made in the shallowness. 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 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 that time anderson those who worked there alone would reveal. any you know what you see neal curiosity is like

a perpetual 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. 7. i need because it's but it's them and they at the. at the one. still. if but. it's no one would ever see this footage if it wasn't for an old acquaintance of mine but collected from some pieces good alexei marco. he has an incredible eye for n.t. . he once invited me to his antique shop to show some of the boxes he caught from an apartment on science. it's simple the owners were getting rid of things they

didn't need. so all of their little. you money and there was only one word syria they gave the boxes to us they say along with the own video camera they said take it we don't need it. because you want the. i don't dump. why young boy and then. you know which show up are often rayman you partial or you see order which you move then you come with your media player for a bar out on the move there you know. who you are when you know. the post you know as i walked over to the show but on closer the last. clear with the bomb was surely. no. doubt and when you lost people need to take you.
