members. here in moscow you want your audience a national with me. today welcome to the. now just days before leaving office donald trump becomes the 1st u.s. president to be impeached for a 2nd time on wednesday the house of representatives voted to indict him claiming he fomented last week's riots at the capitol building but almost $200.00 congress came out against the vote arguing it's no longer about justice but revenge it's now up to the senate to decide whether or not to convict the president on charges of inciting in. and 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 experts. rose explains how it could determine
9:02 pm
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 to go it would be successful if the larger hurdle is 1st accomplished of an actual convergence in the state prosecutions if they make it to trial there's absolutely no gore he can'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 well as congress prepared to debate impeachment these pictures went viral hundreds of national guard troops sleeping on the floor in the khalil building the with many

online notes in the seat of government looks more like a military base station that around the clock following last week's riots which have prompted the 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. well trump also had a rare quiet week online maybe because he was cut off by the major social networks he's been permanently on of course via twitter and snap chat though his facebook and instagram accounts appeared to be back online on friday earlier this week

nikita and spoke to legal internet and politics experts about whether or not the platforms themselves have to come to powerful they just won an election given 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 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 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
9:05 pm
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 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
9:06 pm
moment they don't know who makes those were the rationed do you think the creative intended to end like this with a massive bans and censorship. of course absolutely look there was so much involvement in not only private equity but in government sponsored this was never intended to be good those dean going to giants and being exposed to all they actually are this is a mission statement to give everyone the power to create things 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 their only hosted on servers that either are liberal or conservative or possibly even more extreme
9:07 pm
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 lifetime. russia started testing a simplified version of its sport code vaccine with national and global demand growing a new shot known as sport mc lyte protects for a shorter time but only requires one dose instead of 2 and 7 as he's 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 globally mexico is now looking to buy tens of millions of doses and the president of guinea has become the 1st african leader to get the job but i guess the if has the details the sputnik the vaccine once scorned and maligned is turning into an international bestseller
9:08 pm
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 either other countries and more buyers are lining up i can see the vaccine is affecting more than 90 percent based on the trial doubts and also less allergic reaction. the 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
9:09 pm
a 1st world problem that they have it has to be stored so cold so we're straight in to the king of us wells in america but for the continent of africa this is not even start you know going to place start sputniks exene is easier to just store it with maybe less you know sophisticated storage material for another way of getting it out to the population for the globe that is more excessive all this is 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 this would be 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 yes it is a good chance to know that the difference is in the next in india the russian shot
9:10 pm
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. when wall europe is suffering a new surge in covert cases with france germany and spain registering some of the highest daily rate this week in fact video emerged from one of germany's worst affected regions highlighting just how bad the situation has become some 300 bodies piling up in a queue for

a criminal in saxony the coffins stacked one on top of the other often simply labeled with the words covert and infectious risk. well this comes of course as the european union struggles to maintain unity over covert vaccine purchases russel's are urging member states the keeper of the rocks centralized distribution scheme will know seems to be sticking to the agreement 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 $13000000.00 doses of the pfizer vaccines being criticized by its partners for doing so it is selfish behavior to buy medicine by yourself disrespecting common decisions is another example of the german policy of respecting their own interests above the interests of other e.u.
9:12 pm
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 a buy into can be done but the number of vaccines is not enough for rapid mass
9:13 pm
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 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 bowls
9:14 pm
in there are a vaccination campaigns and. again no surprise that there is unsaid disaffection we we indeed have a 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 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 the monument codes to difficult given to everybody who receives in germany. it is absolutely necessary if you have
9:15 pm
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 allow to do with this or to fit. 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 are going to the idea so if australia's quantas shows 9 in 10 people would get an ocular that if it meant they could travel again however more than half a year of talks around the world have failed to get across the border do you and the head of the world travel in qatar and tourism council says introducing code passports could lead to discrimination. they don't we are 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
9:16 pm
learned a lot of the violence in countries that they still don't have access to the back scene 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 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 still travel as long as you have for instance if you're coming from on this to nation we've had cases of quality to our newest 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. from a critical accent of ali is back on russian soil and was immediately arrested by police on arrival the valley has been in germany receiving medical treatment after
9:17 pm
an incident last summer to which she fell seriously ill during a flight so i ask you taylor reports from moscow as we look over international airport word of ali's plane was originally shows will to land. 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 the zombies 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 to gather that despite all stories all skin people not to gather on mass of the sea for corona fires related reasons now the terminal is
9:18 pm
actually shock to everyone except the passengers who it's 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 the value of sports as well that 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 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 year that was before he fell
9:19 pm
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 that saw 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 dissertation now this is not the only at legal challenge ahead for need the kremlin critic is also facing fresh allegations of fraud investigators say the key
9:20 pm
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 had gathered here 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 off to his will have to wait and see blessed us remind ourselves why it is exactly what's led up to this moment and why novell knees are tough to russia has gone at so much attention. all old.
9:21 pm
not just on that last poor 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 never the last we see in the e.u. sanctions senior russian officials over the novell nice 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 as the international has

condemned the belize arrest calling it a political move and the e.u. council president has proclaimed to the opposition figures arrest an acceptable reaction also coming in from washington with the u.s. state department asking for the volleys immediate release. of 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 have problems in your own country in the regions. of the world so there's little surprise and the article in which one is to appear or. on the conditions of his or they are or. who he work is asians with in the book 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 conservative court to power so we use political. the political use of of our will by these organs or. 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 ministers hinted it might take even longer for the government had said that people may have to wait as long as 3 months to get a 2nd job far longer than a time scale in which the drugs have been tested but even that gap caught
9:24 pm
apparently he got 20. can 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 that w h o f d n 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 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 they range from between 3 weeks to as long as 3 months now the government originally planned to stick to the shorter timeframe but now says it's ok to delay it for the full 12 weeks in order to get at least some vaccine to as many people as possible or that decision was met with widespread criticism and concern from both the public and the medical profession or one
9:25 pm
british doctors campaign group has appealed to the health secretary to make an exception at least for the fires a vaccine that recommends the shortest gap between jobs in a statement the drugs firm points out there's no data to say the 1st dose gives protection beyond $21.00 days british infectious diseases expert dr brought out particular year says the 2nd job copy 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 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
9:26 pm
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 mysterious film footage shot at a moscow flat sheds light on long forgotten spy games in syria back in the light and 6 this coming up at r.t. documentary shuttle of we are of course back in half an hour the latest news updates join us again that.
