in a story to shape the way karen r.t. the us house of representatives impeach a president for a 2nd time while many on the floor can't wait to see the back of him of this to say it's more about revealing than justice will start to come rush reprise clinical trials about an express version of its vaccine. lighted aims to meet rising global demand and grim footage from a german from a turion highlights the extent of a resurgent pandemic in europe as berlin is accused of stockpiling vaccines at the expense of other e.u. members.

even just on 7 o'clock in moscow you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international now this week just days before leaving office trump became the 1st u.s. president to be in page for a 2nd time on wednesday the house of representatives voted to indict him claiming that he for mantid last week's riots the capitol building but almost $200.00 congress members did come out against the vote arguing it's no longer about justice but revenge but it's now up to the senate to decide whether or not so you convict the president on charges of inciting insurrection and despite democratic party calls for urgency the trial won't actually happen before trump leaves office on wednesday however it could eventually see him banned from ever holding public office again or expert charles rose explains how it could determine his long term future. 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 high that that goal would be successful if the larger hurdle is 1st accomplished of an actual convictions in the state prosecutions if they make it to trial there's absolutely no bar he can't be pardoned for it at the federal level and if the state of new york for instance were to decide that they were going to proceed forward with indictment in trial he would get his day in court just like in you know the defendant but as congress prepares to debate in page one things pictures went viral hundreds of national guard troops say sleeping on the floor in the capitol building with many online 1000 the seat of government now looks more like a mini train base they are station that iran the clock at the moment following the

riots last week which had prompted the impeachment proceedings the president says those involved will be punished and promised a pace will 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 the efforts to said sir cancel and blacklist our fellow citizens are wrong and they are dangerous or trump or so how to read quiet we call 9000 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 politics experts about whether or not these

platforms themselves though 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 it is all 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 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 are outdated and unless that is changed nothing will change at least in this country now the question who should be more the rating perhaps the series this should be a form of duration but it needs to be transparent so the state of affairs at the moment they don't know who 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 of being exposed for all they actually are this is a mission statement to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information infinitely 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 that are only hosted on servers that either are liberal or conservative or possibly even more extreme versions of that that to me is

a dystopia. asian that i think is something that is closer today than i've ever known it my laptop but we have got more text tourbillon story tech to tell you about later on in the weekly huge numbers are deserved messaging apps like whatsapp over new concerns over privacy we'll take you through some of the reaction in a few minutes time. rush restarted to test a simplified version of its vaccine with national and global demand growing then you shot known as sputnik lite protects for a shorter time but only requires one dose instead of its efficacy is thought to be around 85 percent compared to more than 91 percent for the full version. original came in fact keeps gaining traction globally makes it was now looking to buy tens of millions of doses and the president of guinea has become the 1st african leader

to get the jap but it can see it as more 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 bolivia other countries and more buyers are lining up i can say the vaccine is affecting more than 90 percent based on the trial doubts and also less allergic reaction really ability skill ability cost all these all the better meter that are ideal 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 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 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 works as a bill is it's very important palestine the nih the vaccine by israel has become the 1st in the middle east to greenlight sputnik the main thrust of the uniqueness of this would be worse in that it's using a genius. it's a lot the sims and universe has been used in forth does this it is different in order to reduce the immune response to. the other the

reverse of the cause of that they believe because it is. just another to be different into 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 duces 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 i would make sense to make sure that you've got different jobs. meanwhile europe is suffering a new surge in cave cases with france germany and spain registering some of the

highest daily rates this week in fact video emerge from one of germany's worst affected regions highlighting just how bad the situation has become some 300 bodies piling up here in a key for a predatory in sanction a coffin stacked one on top of the other are often simply labeled with the words covert or infectious risk it comes as the european union struggles to maintain unity over with vaccine purchases brussels is urging member states to keep to the broadest century distributions again but not all of them seem to be sticking to the dream and with more here's our europe correspondent peter all 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 $30000000.00 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 who live and insists it is playing by the rules and that those extra doses were 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. the 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 of biotech can be done or but the number of vaccines is not enough for rapid mass vaccination the commission president has left 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 on doing themselves any favors demanding transparency from member states when it comes to vaccine procurement when they are being all that clear on who will get what when be you 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 both in their backs in asian campaigns and. again no surprise that there is unsaid disaffection we indeed have an 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 $100000000.00 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 judges. constrains 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 certificates are given to everybody who receives the. it is absolutely necessary if you have been vaccinated still have a certificate this is a medical necessity a 2nd impression is. and this is a political and a legal decision what you allow to do with this or to fix it by covert passports are being suggested by the states to you in poland for example vaccinated people will be sent q.r. codes to use public services without extra testing and airlines are also latching on to this idea a survey for australia's kwanza studies 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 to fail to get a cross border deal and even the head of the world travel and tourism cancer does say that introducing cable passports could lead to discrimination. 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 or 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 mass vaccination 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 seem to travel well at the same time people going to still travel as longer gee how for instance if you're coming from on this to nation with cases of quality too on this nation with lower cases of course we 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.

still ahead for you on the weekly empty shop shelves in northern ireland does groceries here get held up by bricks in red tape although the prime minister says there's not a problem with taking. through that just after the break. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person those with. no dares thinks. we dare to ask.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this spirit dramatic development the only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. hello again now it is being called the largest digital migration in history millions of users are abandoning whatsapp at the moment so it would need to to shed data with parent company facebook for public backlash the company did say it would

delay the move until my but its reputation has already been damaged and even global leaders and i switching to privacy 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 spec 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 turkey 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 of 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 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 well turkey's envoy to the czech republic is one of many politicians switching to telegram he told us people are becoming wary of the traditional chimes . i think in the long run facebook well it's out so it's are controlled by the same corporate decision makers have to revise their rules because they have in a way scared people 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 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 incorrect 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. by rows of empty shelves supermarkets in northern ireland are exposing what critics call a botched divorce between britain and europe the restrictions were slapped on goods shipped from mainland u.k. to northern ireland after britain totally cut the cord with the this month northern ireland does remain part of europe single market and it's the logistical headache and basing for market chains are now calling on the government to sort out the red tag. 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 increased bureaucracy and certification in such a short timescale are unworkable however when questioned in parliament about the supply issues the prime minister played it down. but the moment goods are flowing effectively and normal volumes between great britain and northern ireland so far no lorries have been turned back. but a lot of angry a scottish fishing companies they warn that their products are going to waste cheating delivery hold ups and bosses are even threatening to dump their rotting seething outside parliament if they can't get their produce to market in the coming days. party any people etheridge told us that 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 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'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 you because you're terrified of god alone and feels like the country down a bit without enough to lease the rig 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 is 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 gregg's it the government is responsible the government has sorted it was. washing out international that was the way clean will be back again at the top of the.

nuclear become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people are demanding the shut down 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 limits 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 powerline with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways our struggle on r.t. . is your media

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 the monuments and all poster of the hollywood premiere of town without pity and a fight in a market so without versus. 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 the wood on the. ground in you know what you see 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 0 on a super spy who some consider a national hero and others and evil villain an israeli double o. 7. i need because it's bad some. good at the one. still. 50. and no one would ever see this footage if it wasn't for an old acquaintance of mine but collector from st petersburg alexei marco. he has an incredible eye.
