really you don't lose. because you know you'll be sure you are going to grow up on your deal. would. tories the shape the week on r t the us house of representatives impeach is president trump for an unprecedented 2nd time the one many on the floor can't wait to see the back of him others say it's more about revenge then just did. russia approves clinical trials of an express version of its covert vaccine dubbed sputnik delight it is to meet rising global demand. group footage from a german crime a tory and highlights the extent of the resurgent make in europe as berlin is accused of stockpiling vaccines at the expense of that you know.

very well welcome you are watching the week here on r.t. international with me here and. just days before leaving office donald trump became the 1st u.s. president to be impeached for a 2nd time on wednesday the house of representatives voted to indict him claiming he for men to 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 but revenge well it's now up to the senate to decide whether or not to convict the president on charges of inciting insurrection and that's fine democratic party calls for urgency the trial will top and before trial leaves office on wednesday however it could eventually see him banned from as a holding public office again floor experts 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 hard that that goal would be successful if the larger hurdle is 1st accomplished of an actual conviction in the son 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 any of the defendant well last congress prepared to debate impeachment and these pictures went viral hundreds of national guard troops leaping on the floor in the capitol building with many online noting the state of the government looks more like

a military base the stations that are around the clock following last week's riots which would prove to be 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 occurs safely and without incident the efforts to said sir cancel and blacklist our fellow citizens are wrong and they are dangerous. trump also had a rare quiet week online mainly because he was cut off by the may just social networks he's been permanently banned by twitter. although his facebook and instagram account seem to be back online on friday early this week i spoke to

a legal internet on politics experts about whether or not the 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 are going to go as far as they can because the 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 mater of time before censorship pull be move on to other part of our problem democratic party 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 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 at those just the internet giants of being exposed to all the 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 do 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. vision that i think is something that is closer today than i've ever known it my laptop. russia has started testing a simplified version of it sputnik the vaccine with national and global demand growing the new saw it's known as sputnik like pretext for a shorter time but only requires one dose instead of 2 its efficacy is the to be of around 85 percent compared to more than 91 percent for the full version well meanwhile russia's coverage of vaccine keeps gaining traction globally makes it is now looking to buy tens of millions of doses and the presidents of guinea has become the 1st african leader to get the job my gosh. 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 move by 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 or 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 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 easy to store it with maybe less you know sophisticated storage material for another way of getting it out of 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. 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 because 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 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 covert cases with france germany and spain registering some of the highest daily rate this week and in fact a video emerged from one of germany's worst affected regions highlighting to us how bad the situation has become some 300 bodies piling up in a queue for

a christmas story and in saxony a coffin stacks one on top of the other are often simply labeled with the words covert and infectious risk it comes as the european union struggles to maintain unity over coded lacks in purchases brussels is that aging member states to keep to the blokes centralised distribution scheme but not all of them seem to be sticking to the agreement with more here's the our europe correspondent peter oliver. 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 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 weren't be sent out on 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 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 say. 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 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 contract 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 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 unset disaffection we indeed have of across the across the whole front we have a very poor performance by the european union 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 that it is officially said so no wonder the e.u. population is not very happy with that performance in brussels. despite the problems of distribution the european commission president is demanding that pope it's a difficult sell given to everybody who receives the job 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 fit. every passports are being suggested by other states too in poland vaccinated people will be sent to q.r. codes to use public services without extra testing and the airlines are also latching onto the idea a survey for australia's quantas shows 9 in 10 people would get inoculated if it meant they could travel again however more than a half a year of talks around the world have fell to get across the border deal on the head of the world travel and tourism council ses introducing covert hostels could lead to discrimination. the dog we weren't sure is totally against health passports ok and we believe that as well because that could lead to discrimination

unfortunately the magazine is not available everywhere learned a lot of the violence in countries that they still don't have access to the vaccine don't see the us as the only solution mass vaccination should not be the only consideration currently we have a limited supply and we need to where the vulnerable groups we don't have to wait for a vaccine to travel while 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 to learn 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. home in opposition figure alexina valley has landed back in russia and was immediately arrested by police on arrival we're going keep it details after the

break.

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. welcome back kremlin critic i like say no valley is back on russian soil and was immediately arrested by police on arrival and found he had been in germany receiving medical treatment after an instant's lost some mind which he fell seriously ill during a flight taylor reports for most of a nuke of international airport when a volleys plane was scheduled to land. but here i am a pause just to the southwest of moscow and around 7 30 pm local time russian

opposition forgot it was a cue to land on that flight from by lynn however at the last minute we got word that all incoming flights were being diverted to other ports and the phony flight was set to shut me up to the other side of the capital now we've seen footage of him disembarking the plane we saw him boarding a bus and will just be taken to a tunnel and it was on that bus that the he was taken in to police custody now behind me about an hour and a half 2 hours ago our phones dispatched now it is minus 20 degrees i don't blame them a crowd of supporters had to gather that despite with ortiz all skin people not to gather on mass o.p.c. for coronavirus of related reasons now the terminals actually shocked everyone except the passengers who was very difficult to understand what was going on but we did see footage of people milling about in the arrivals who they were blocking the

entrance stopping people for who actually had flights to board so authorities were forced to push them out onto the streets it seems that around a dozen arrests have been made or of these people came here supporters journalists even some critics of novell and he was spotted as well had come here to new cover to see what fate awaited the 44 year old now we know he has been detained why well at the end of december he served out a suspended sentence on charges of best moment not that related to the so-called eve for a shut case that goes back to 2014 now the terms of the us suspended sentence to mont it that he regularly report to an office but russia's prison service to say that he failed to do so on at least 6 occasions over the past kid that was before he fell sick on that plane from siberia to moscow and even after he was discharged from. hospital. and because of that he was actually put on the federal most wanted

list and russia's potentially service said that they are now looking at potentially commuting thoughts that sentence into a real time prison he said they gave him fair warning about the potential consequences of consistent evaluating his probation official warnings about the possibility of cancelling the conditional sentence and replacing it with a real prison term or issues for each violation by alexian of only official confirmation of his treatment at a hotel in germany was not provided and the very fact of current rehabilitation procedures is not the reason for the fray they are to appear for a just ration now this is not the only at legal challenge ahead for need the kremlin critic is also facing fresh allegations of flawed investigators say the key misappropriated always took $5000000.00 worth of donations that were given in good faith to his non profit organization and that could see a penalty of up to 10 years behind bars so

a lot of people again i said have got that hit to see what exactly would be the situation it now seems clear that he will be facing at least he's been taken into custody and what out of woe what happens on to it will have to wait and see blessed us remind ourselves why it is exactly what's led up to this moment and why navarro nice return to russia has gone to so much attention. all old.

not just on that last point about requests from german authorities it became clear that palin had said something to moscow but most of. the material that was said was so latino and substance that really it couldn't be considered anything useful or worthy of anything of cooperation nevertheless we've seen the e.u. sanctions senior russian officials over the novell nice saga which looks like it might still be continuing. has been taken into custody and it looks like around that on the 29th of january a decision on his future will be made in court. honest international has condemned the arrest calling it a political move saying russian authorities want to silence him as the e.u. council president proclaims the arrest of the opposition figure unacceptable calling on russian officials to immediately release him we can cross that live

right now to kill to talk to our independent political analyst thank you for joining us on the program what do you make of the reasons that no valen he was arrested on arrival. the reasons were well known so there's little surprise and there are technicalities. but this is merely to appear or he or at least one of the conditions of who is going over there will. work is a technicality iraq is asians regarding misappropriation of funds the rules down here so that is a substantial. whoever nonsmoker court will be the this is the channels we are because it will be the overriding picture is a political case this is a good principle boats once the home of our own haters was invented in the west and it's to serve a purpose of keeping russia wants to meet with the war more ground of confrontation

in 20 girliness to find compromises with russia and to treat it as another form of european spiritual power so it is political where the essence of the political use that no one will buy is by organs or. ringback other serious aggression. i think a lot of people are wondering why it never found he still made the journey back knowing the likelihood of a rest what do you think. well risk is not the 1st. who are so into a difficult if not dangerous situation he must have a martyr complex because the man is. exposed and so critical danger and no to the possibility of a long term solution for. the wrong term cursory which is. to him but immediately. at least until we get whom of the actions we can see here is

a possible he idea would be to car to the movement because although he has only one percent or 2 percent of support in russian federation he has a lot of support in the west where he is a very useful tool much the people on the front pages of our newspapers russian propaganda. yes they can have when the standard german officials provided security to no felony making sure he gets on the plane safely using security caras school he did not go through possible control either so there i've been such a high level of security and doesn't make germany look too involved well i think this is another example of the whole government's handling of of russia where she is trying to avoid any substantial damaging relations particularly economic relations with students come out of the family in nordstrom

to is most important element in russian german lucian's with substance she was on the right side of the side of the engine which just a cover that buying these up was felix they support giving him a limousine service when not as mr said is not substantially in the plan or the way . or the same scale it's as if you know what were the american government is continuing to sit with your shoe. and now that germany has had information about the valleys medical situation with russia how might that affect the investigation into what happened last august. we haven't seen what germany has devolved the 4th that you provided serious ago on the station suggests that it was not of significance. but people are speaking about form as opposed to

form steppers or germany as it was to provide such information. in dungeons on him and he'd done so. but you did so. independent political analyst thank you very much for your time. thank you for joining us here on aussie international we're back with more at the top of the alice knew that. elderly forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the 1st law show your identification or should be very careful about official intelligence and the point is to create trust the shia.

areas with artificial intelligence will summon the demon. the obama must protect its own existence as. it seems inevitable the new security regulations fast and too low in the wake of the events on capitol hill the original tape was made to legitimize the so-called war on terror the patriot act you claim no focus on domestic there. will be us against the e.u. once. 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 minute so without ber's of 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 the mood on the review got that essential going to continue doing what you've seen you know neal curiosity is like a petrol motion machine it lives on without a lunch break and then suddenly i saw him stop.
