live from moscow thanks for joining us on the weekly here on our to international ondine hawkins welcome to the park 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 fermented last week's riots at the capitol building almost $200.00 congress members came out against the votes arguing it's no longer about justice but revenge well it's now up to the senate to decide whether or not but to convict the president on charges of inciting interaction despite democratic party calls for urgency the trial won't happen before trump leaves office on wednesday however it could eventually see him banned from ever holding public office again laura expert charles rose explains how it could determine his long term future. she will have

already. one conviction in the senate would do is open the door to an additional majority basis only determining whether he would be banned from. future. office i think the odds are very hard to go would be successful if the larger hurdle is 1st accomplished of an actual conversion and in the state prosecutions if they make it to trial there's absolutely no gore he can't be pardoned for it at the federal level and if the state of new york for its it 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 well as congress prepares to debate impeachment these pictures went viral hundreds of national guard troops sleeping on the floor of the capitol building with many online noting the seat of government looked more like a military base station that around the clock following last week's riots which had

prompted the impeachment proceedings the president says those involved will be punished and promised a peaceful transition there 'd 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 tramples of how to read quiet week online maybe because he was cut off by the major social networks he's been permanently banned by twitter and snap shot his facebook and instagram account seems to be back on line on friday early this week in week out and spoke to 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 drunk with power of they know which way the wind is blowing donald trump is no longer going to be in the white house almost all of these companies face antitrust suits that are going to be decided by the biden department of justice and so now there is going to be less of a priority to maybe make these arguments internally that donald trump and his account should be protected but these are self interested actors it is over years that they are now controlling pretty much the the entire communications system all over the wall that it will be a matter of time before censorship will be moved on to other parts of our problems they will credit bardi companies like twitter and facebook and on us and can do this to their own president if they do it anywhere in the well to any government they don't like oh certainly so. they that the largest

problems within these companies is that there really is no actual basis for which they are operating there is no bible there is no constitution there is no their terms of service are often edited and malleable and even then subject 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 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 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 into the glee we doubt barriers now people used to believe 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 sport and if you code vaccine with national and global demand growing and you shot known as a sport mc lyte protects for a shorter time but only requires one dose instead of 2 it's efficacies thought to be around 85 percent compared to more than 91 percent for the full version meanwhile russia's original covert vaccine keeps getting traction across the world 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 job rog asked if has details. 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 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 me to a better idea for any vaccine to roll out. one of the sputniks biggest advantages over the competition aside from price is that it's easier to transport or to store so a simple fridge will do the 5 of them and then the vaccines they require deep freeze as low as minus 70 degrees celsius so cold storage which isn't widely available in much of the developing world which is most of the world this is a 1st world problem that they have it has to be stored so cold so we're straight in the ticking of us 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 will is is 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 the worse in that it's using a genius. it's a lot the sims and universe has been used in both those as it is different in order to reduce the immune response to. the. 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 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 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 it makes sense to make sure that you've got different jobs. well meanwhile europe is suffering a new surge in covert cases with france germany and spain 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 for some 300 bodies piling up in a queue for a crime a tournament saxony a coffin stacked one on top of the other often simply labeled with the words covert and infectious risk this comes as the european union struggles to maintain unity

over covert vaccine purchases brussels is urging member states to keep to the rocks centralised distribution scheme will most seem to be sticking to the agreement with more here's our europe correspondent beach one of our. the european union's one for all and all for one vaccine plan as colp 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 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 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 the new doses to provide a mass switch to rollout the initial indications were very encouraging but at some point there was a setback in its effectiveness 2 companies came up with the vaccine 1st phase the buying to commit done but the number of vaccines is not enough for rapid mass vaccination e.u. commission president has live on the line is telling member states to cut it out and to adhere to the plan that they all agreed on we have all agreed legally

binding that there will be no parallel negotiations no parallel contracts so the framework we are all working in is a framework of $27.00 together we are negotiating to gether we are pretty sure. 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 unsaid

disaffection we indeed have 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 $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 that the e.u. population is not very happy with that performance in brussels. despite the problems of distribution the european commission president is the man in that code certificates are given to everybody he receives the job. it is absolutely necessary if you have been vaccinated to have a certificate this is a medical necessity a 2nd fresh it is. and this is a political and

a legal decision what you are allowed to do with this or to fit. covert passports are being suggested by other states as well in poland vaccinated people will be sent to q.r. codes to use public services without extra testing and airlines are also lets you out of the idea the survey for australia's quantas shows 9 in 10 people would get inoculated if it meant they could travel again over more than half a year of talks around the world of failed to get across a border deal and the head of the world travel and tourism council says introducing covert passports could lead to discrimination. the dollar it sure is totally against health passports ok and we believe that as well because that can lead to discrimination unfortunately there maxine 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 now as vaccination should not be the only

consideration currently we have a limited supply and we need to where are those the more liberal groups we don't have to wait for a vaccine to travel while at the same time people going to steal travel as long as you have for instance if you're coming from this to nation with high cases according to our newest nation with lower cases of course we will be helpful 2 percent and this is what we have now asking. 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. from an opposition figure alexina valley has a lot of back and russia and was immediately arrested by police on arrival bringing the details of the break.

join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by a. 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. welcome back to the program from an uncritical accent of ali is back on russian soil and was immediately arrested by police on arrival of ali had been in germany receiving medical treatment after an incident last summer in which he felt seriously ill during a flight saskia taylor reports from moscow's international airport one of all these plane was originally. but here i am. 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 found his flight was set to shut me up to the other side of the capital now we've seen footage of

him that disembarking the plane we saw him boarding a bus in will to be taken to a terminal 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 got that despite all stories all skin people not to gather on mass of the sea for coronavirus of related reasons now the tunnels 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 who actually had flights to board so authorities were forced to push them out into 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 home and not that related to the so-called eve for a shut case that goes back to 2014 now the terms of that is a suspended sentence to mont it that he regularly report to an office but russia's presence serves to say that he failed to do so on at least 6 occasions over the past year 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 byelection 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 a reason for the failure to appear for a dissertation now this is not the only at legal challenge ahead for novell 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 well what happens on to it will have to wait and see blessed and remind ourselves why it is exactly what's led up to this moment and why

novell needs a ton 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 berlin 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 needs saga which looks like it might still be continuing on he 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. or amnesty international has condemned the vollies arrest calling it a political move saying the authorities want to saunas him and the e.u. council president has proclaimed the opposition figures arrest on acceptable calling for his immediate release and advisor to joe biden has also reacted on twitter calling the whole case an affront to the russian people russia's foreign ministry had this to say. in response to mr sullivan as well as many other foreign figures who publish pre-prepared comments respect international law do not encroach on the national legislation of sovereign states and you would problems in your own

country regions. of the world so there's little surprise in the arctic a challenge. is to appear. on the conditions of his day or. in iraq is asians we are in this it owns the ones. that is a substantial. role of world was invented in the worst moments of serve the purpose of. this new war of confrontation. really was to find compromises with russia and to do it it was another form of. 40 hour news political. the political use of our will by these organs. and other series of rushes in the last.

scientists were left stunned when britain revealed it was significantly lengthening the time between covert vaccine doses now a senior member of the minister saying that it might take even longer for the government had said that people might have to wait more than 3 months to get the 2nd job far longer than time scale in which the drugs have been tested but even that gap caught apparently before the guarantee can guarantee that on 5 for example you will be able to get a 2nd more we absolutely are aiming for that we should be able to deliver it and i think we can be quietly confident. does the government know something they w h o f d n fires they don't want the seriously willing to concede their gambling with the nation's health by playing fast and loose with vaccines this is dangerous 2nd shot as critical and 12 weeks already stretching it not sure what to make of this let's hope this is a rare under promising rather than a real risk all the different vaccines have been tested with different lead times

between the 1st and 2nd doses ranging from 3 weeks up to 9 months now the government originally planned to stick to the shorter timeframe but now says it's ok the delay for the full 12 weeks in order to get supplies to at least some vaccines into as many people as possible or that decision there was met with widespread criticism and concern from both the public and the medical profession a british doctor's campaign group has appealed to the health secretary to at least make exception for the pfizer vaccine which recommends the shortest gap between jobs in a statement the drugs for points out there's no data to say the 1st those gives protection beyond $21.00 days british infectious disease expert dr bharat says this 2nd job can't be held up indefinitely. the 2nd dose is crucial in boosting the immune levels so if you are some optimally immunized and then you never get that

boost that immunity will eventually start to frayed and you become one rable to infection we have to immunize as many as possible as fast as possible and i accept giving the one vaccine prevents severe illness in more people by using up the 2 doses to give to double the number of people accept that but if we then fail to boost their immunities in a given time span then we may be losing the protective effect of the 1st vaccine that we gave if that is the case it's very unfortunate therefore the 2nd vaccine ought to be given within a good time frame not an indefinite time interval. up next all the documentary explores one death row prisoners struggle for justice up next their we'd written off with the latest news updates to join us again that.

the world is driven by shaped by our own personal. dares thinks. we dare to ask. it seems inevitable the new security regulations fast into law in the wake of the events on capitol hill the original day parade was made to legitimize the so-called

war on terror well the patriot act you can know focus on domestic care and how will the u.s. against the e.u. once chosen a. nuclear power become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people are demanding the shutdown of a local plant for my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no claire 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 is it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more. and the idea of a traditional just during democracies or power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real way our struggle on r.t. .

today as i was outside on the audience rather this next to me he said maybe the show will be good to just feel the rain i haven't felt any rain all my body and so now. i see a chip you see the grass that there just wait until you get the opportunity to walk on the grass when you step on grass for the 1st time again it's going to feel like you walking on air wow. this is great. and how do you feel about you know reading. the trail of. isabel to get married and have a true. that's the biggest hurdle.
