sidorov national hero and the other is an evil villain an israeli double 00. because of the word some of these jersey are the big one your deal. in the stories is shaped the way karen r.t. rusher approves clinical trials have been expressed version of its facts seen sputnik light today means to meet rising global demand grim footage from a german crematorium highlights the extent of resurgent pandemic in europe as berlin is accused of stockpiling vaccines at the expense of other e.u. members and also to the u.s. house of representatives in pages president come for a 2nd time while many on the floor can't wait to see the back of in others do say it's more about revenge and justice.

i know that well can you watching the weekly here on r.t. international now russia has started testing a simplified version of its vaccine with national and global demand growing the shop known as sputnik lite protects for a shorter time but only requires one dose instead of tell you he said because it is thought to be around 85 percent compared to more than 91 percent for the full version meanwhile rush's original coded vaccine keeps gaining traction globally mexico is now looking to buy tens of millions of doses and the president of guinea has become the 1st african leader to get the jab but it has the it has more. the sputnik the vaccine once school ended 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 ia 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 all the pet meter that are already in 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 making of us wells in america but for the common 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 what they will see that it's using a genius. 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. verse or because of that they believe yes it is a good chance to know that the 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 well ready deals have been signed to produce 300000000 deuces 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 v. 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 would make sense to make sure that you've got different jobs. meanwhile europe is suffering a new cases with france germany and spain all registering some of the highest daily rates this week in fact video emerged from one of germany's worst affected regions highlighting just how bad the situation has become some $300.00 bodies piling up

here in a key for a credit torreon in sanctioning the coffin stacks one on top of the other and they're often simply labeled with the words and infectious risk it does come as the european union struggles to maintain unity of the vaccine purchases brussels is urging member states to keep the bloc centralised distribution scheme but not all of them seem to be sticking to the green mint with more his our europe correspondent peter out of. 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 $13000000.00 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 it 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 . 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 a 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 biotech and madonna 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 and 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 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 both

in there are a vaccination campaigns and. again no surprise that there is unsaid disaffection we indeed have that across the across the whole front we have a very poor performance by the european union 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 the e.u. population is not very happy with that performance in brussels well despite the problems of distribution the european commission president is demanding that cove it's a typical sign given to everybody who receives. it is absolutely necessary if you

have been vaccinated to 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 or go with passports are being suggested by of the states to for example in poland vaccinated people there will be sent q.r. codes to use public services without extra testing and airlines are also latching on to this idea the survey for australia's quantas to show that 9 in 10 people would get inoculated if it meant that they could travel again however more than half a year of talks around the world have failed so far to get across the border deal and even the head of the world travel and tourism council does say that introducing covert passports could lead to discrimination. they don't we are it sure is totally against the help passports ok and we believe that as well because that can lead to

discrimination fortunately 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 that as the only solution mare's bags 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 mark seemed to travel while at the same time people going to still travel as longer jihad for instance if you're coming from on this to nation we've had cases of quality too and this nation with lowercase is of course we will be helpful to present and this is what 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. now this week just days before leaving office donald trump became the 1st us president to be impeached for a 2nd time on wednesday the house represents. to indict him claiming that haitham

ended last week's riots at the capitol building however almost $200.00 congress members came out against the value to arguing it's no longer about justice but more about revenge is now up to the senate to decide whether or not to convict the president on charges of inciting interaction and despite democratic party calls for urgency the trial might actually happen before from leaves office on wednesday however it could eventually see him banned from ever holding public office again or expert child well this explains now how they could determine his long term future. said she will have already concluded his charm 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 of an actual convergence 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 a search were to decide that they were going to proceed forward with indictment in trial he would get his day in court just like you know the defendant but as congress prepared to debate in page meant these pictures he went viral hundreds of national guard troops to sleeping on the floor in the capitol building with many online seem to government looks more like a military base they are stationed around the clock at the moment following those riots last week which had prompted the impeachment proceedings meanwhile the president says that 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 occurs safely and without incident the efforts to said sir cancel and blacklist our fellow citizens are wrong and they are dangerous well trump orso had a rare quiet week online mainly because though he was cut off by the major social networks he has been permanently banned by twitter and snap chat although his facebook and instagram accounts did seem to be back online on friday mccarran spoke to legal internet and politics experts about whether or not these platforms themselves have become 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 even 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 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 our problem they will credit bardi companies like twitter facebook anonymous and can do this to their own president and 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 or algate it 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 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 this was never

intended to be good those dean going to giants and being exposed to all the actually are this is a mission statement to give everyone the power to create things share ideas and information into 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. meanwhile huge numbers are deserving messaging apps like whatsapp at the moment i have a new concerns over privacy we'll have

a look at the details in a couple of minutes just after this. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. tyson nation whole community. are you going the right way or are you being legs up with. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us

in the depths. aura made in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex simon shore and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. hello again now it is being called the largest digital migration in history millions of users are abandoning whatsapp over new terms to share data with parent company facebook but after a public backlash the company did say that it would actually delay the move until may but its reputation has already been damaged and even global leaders are now switching to the previously centric rivals such as telegram looking at the trend is

to me tree. 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 triggers to recent purge of donald trump and his supporters has laid bare the capacity of the internet's gatekeepers to silence anyone they deem to be dangerous that's got other world leaders spooked a suspect the chancellor considers it problematic as 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 in 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 of the competitors the clear and the alternatives 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 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 or turkey's envoy to the czech republic is one of many politicians

switching to telegram he told us that people are becoming wary of the traditional tech giants i think in the long room facebook what's out there. by the same or brute this isn't makers have to revise the rules because they have. in a way to scare people we know 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 use and they are actually getting your consent for it and and they have double standards if you are a what's yours are 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. the rows of empty shelves at supermarkets in northern ireland are exposing what critics call a botched divorce between britain and europe new restrictions were slapped on good chip from mainland u.k. to northern ireland after britain totally cut the cord with me this month northern ireland though does remain part of europe single market hence the logistical headache and they see my change of name 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 however one question to parliament about the supply issues the prime minister played it down. but the moment goods are flowing. normal volumes between great britain and northern ireland surprise move lorries have been turned back also angry or scottish fishing companies they do warn that their products are going to waste you 2 delivery hold ups and bosses are even threatening to dump their rotting seafood outside parliament if they can't get their produce to market in the coming days former breaks the party any pay bills etheridge told us that in his view britain's government should be ashamed of itself . they should never have got to this point it's absolutely irresponsible and ridiculous that the british government led to this point years ago we should have had the discussion with the you 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 to the last minute and boris johnson gave grants to the because he was terrified of going to go 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 neatly into problems this is people who are trying to deny the will of the people is delayed this to the point where this is now happening they are responsible and the government has a responsibility to sort this out about they created this mess not the people who voted breads it's the government is responsible to deliver the soul today. in much the way to here not international thanks the company this sunday evening will be back again having topping.

the. the world is driven by a dream shaped by our own person. the

day or thinks. we dare to ask. nuclear power become a battleground in the us in vermont people love demanding the shutdown of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no clare 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 palmiotti.

long. term. and on welcome to falls apart is some stables implore us to be chaffed what wish for less to come true after 4 years of the insufferable dylan will trump the democrats in the united states. i triumphantly returning to power not only to the presidency but also to a congressman charging is that a reason for the celebration of all perhaps for caution but to discuss that i'm now joined by walt and bello and international a judge professor at the state university of new york and author all counter-revolution global rise of the far right professor bell it's good to talk to

you thank you very much for your time and thank you for inviting me x. i'm not your joining us from the philippines but i'm pretty sure you know what you get vents in the united states quite closely it's a very very complicated picture and we'll try to adapt some of that for starters let me ask you about your main filling your predominant attitude as you look toward the inauguration off joe biden in a few days is it's one of hold. well actually if i may just give you my sense. a realistic sense of what's going to happen. i think biden is going to be facing a very difficult 4 years. and. i think the united states is entering an era that will be full of social conflict in

which you will not only have elections but you might have many of those elections by disputes under street as i said in an article that i just did and it was like this circulated in the united states the u.s. is entering what i think will be the vine mark era in other words an era very much similar to the weimar republic in germany in the 19th twenties where you had conflicts electoral conflicts mixed with street battles for term and who come out on top absolutely and professor people discuss that article in a great i detail i recommend are of yours to check it out it's a very thought provoking read but bringing you a little bit back to your own political persuasions i am pretty sure that you are

not a supporter of donald trump i think it's it comes out pretty clear.
