i gave you that. in the stories that shaped the week the u.s. house of representatives impeach president trump for president of the 2nd time while many on the floor can't wait to see the back of them others say it's more about revenge and justice. russia approved clinical trials of unexpressed version of its covert vaccine sport nicol lights it aims to meet rising global demand. and the grim footage from a german highlights the extent of a resurgent pandemic in europe as it is accused of stockpiling vaccines at the

expense of other e.u. members. live from moscow thanks for joining us tonight here on our to international the weekly rundown of top stories in this welcome to the program. just days before leaving office thought all 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 that he fermented at last week's riots at the capitol building but almost $200.00 members of congress 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. despite democratic party calls for urgency the trial will not happen before trump leaves office on wednesday however it could eventually see him banned from. the holding public office again. 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 with 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 gore he can't 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 in you know the defendant but as congress prepared to debate impeachment these pictures went viral hundreds of national guard troops leaping on the floor in the capitol building but many online

ones in the seat of government looked more like a military base station that around the clock following last week's riots which had 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 occur 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 major social networks he's been permanently banned by twitter and snap chat his facebook and instagram

account seemed to back online on friday earlier this week mccarran spokesman legal internet and 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 his 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 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 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

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 this 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 the internet giants like being exposed for all they 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 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 started testing a simplified version of it sport and covert vaccine with national and global demand growing a new show known as sporting light cortex for a short 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 gaining 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 a job where i guess the if has the details. the sputnik the vaccine once

scorned and maligned is turning into an international bestseller production is surging to an average of 830000 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 as a lineup i can say the vaccine is effective 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 sputnik speakers the advantages of 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 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 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 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 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. weed while the 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 a video emerged from one of germany's worst affected regions harnessing just how

bad the situation has become some 300 bodies piling up on a queue for a comment or even saxony the coffins are stacked one on top of the other and are often labelled simply with the words covert and infectious risk. well this comes as the european union struggles to maintain unity over code vaccine purchases brussels is urging members that it's the key for the rocks centralized distribution scheme not all of them low seems to be sticking to the rules with more here's our europe correspondent piece on over. 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 won't be sent out until the vaccine has been dispatched across the rest of the european union germany says the real problem lies with problems when it comes to production. 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 roll out 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 a buy into can be done but the number of vaccines is not enough for rapid mass vaccination e.u. commission president has live on the line is telling member states to cut it out and to adhere to the plan that the. we 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 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 bowls in their backs in asian campaigns and. again no surprise that there is unsaid disaffection we indeed have a across the across the whole front we have a very poor performance by the european union here but the central administration of the european union all they managed was to secure so 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. despite the

problems of distribution the european commission president as the monument difficult are given to everybody who receives its. 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 certificate. a covert passports are being suggested by other states as well in poland vaccinated people will be sent q.r. codes to use public services without extra testing and airlines are also lots of on to the idea a survey for australia squanders shows 9 in 10 people would get inoculated if it meant they could travel once again however more than half a year of talks around the world and failed to get across the border deal and the head of the world travel and tourism council says introducing covert possibles would lead to discrimination. and 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 bank scene is not available everywhere learned a lot of the violence in countries that they still don't have access to the vaccine i don't see the us as the only solution 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 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 on this to nation we've had cases of quality to learn this nation with lower cases of course it will be helpful 2 percent and this is where we have a nasty in. a test made up before called the survey you're allowed to board a plane with a test in massive testing implemented before boarding or before flying. from an opposition figure alexina valena has landed back in russia and was

immediately arrested by police upon arrival ringing the details after the break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the barriers. we fear to ask.

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 family retaking power in the united states is that a cause for celebration or concern. welcome back to the program. back on russian soil and always immediately arrested by police on arrival the volley had been in germany receiving medical treatment after an incident last summer in which he fell seriously ill during a flight school taylor reports from moscow's international airport when alys plane was originally show. 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 the lead however at the last minute we got word that all incoming flights were being diverted to other ports and the psalmist 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 in will to be taken to a tunnel 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 of the sea for corona virus 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 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. 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 prisons services say that he failed to do so on at least 6 occasions over the past here 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 failure 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 well 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 novell needs over ton to russia has gone and so much attention. all on.

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 never the last we've seen the e.u. sanctions senior russian officials over the novell needs saga which looks like it might still be a continuing scene of army 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. well mr international has condemned the vollies arrest calling it a political move and the e.u. council president has proclaimed the opposition figures arrest on acceptable reactions also coming in from washington with the u.s.

state the fall but asking for all these immediate release of the divisor to president elect biden saying the whole case is an affront to the russian people russia's foreign ministry had this response. 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. so there's little surprise in neurotypical on which one is to appear or. on the conditions of his or they or. in iraq is asians were in this book and the ones. that is a substantial. role of other theories was invented in the worst to 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 conservative court to power so loose political. the political use of of our will by these. other series of russian forced. scientists were left stunned when britain revealed it was significantly lengthening the time between covert vaccine doses and now a senior minister that it might take even longer for the government had said that people may have to wait more than 3 months to get a 2nd job far longer than the time scale on which the drugs themselves have been tested but even that gap called apparently before the guaranteed. guarantee that on 5 for example you will be able to get a 2nd one 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 m fires they don't why are they seriously willing to concede their gambling with the nation's health by playing fast and loose with vaccines this is dangerous 2nd charges 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 the 3 weeks up to 3 months and other government originally planned to stick to the shorter timeframe but now it has it's ok to delay for the full 12 weeks in order to get at least some vaccines into as many people as possible or that decision was met with widespread criticism and concern from both public and the medical profession's a british doctors campaign group as appealed to the health secretary to make at least one exception for the provides

a vaccine that recommends the shortest gap between jobs in a statement the drugs points out there is no data to say the 1st those gives protection beyond $21.00 days british infectious disease expert dr biden tonia says the 2nd job can't be held up indefinitely. the 2nd dose is crucial in boosting the immune levels so if you are sub optimally immunized and then you never get that boost that immunity will eventually start to frayed and you become one rable to infection we hope 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

forces tried to overthrow the regime and used the international terrorism phenomenon in to advance their agenda human rights of syrian people were sacrificed for the sake of someone's ambitions. for an countries involved in the syrian war. and pursued their conflicting goals seeking their own political economic or military interests. but who has been suffering the most in this almost a decade long conflict regular syrian people. they are the ones paying the highest price in this endless war the prize is their lives and the lives of beloved ones. their country is destroyed and bleeding. i'm a journalist from kazakhstan i have been following the tragic events in syria from the very beginning i have also been covering just on
