in the stories that shaped the week your nazi the us house of representatives impeach president trump for an unprecedented 2nd time but while many on the floor called to see the back of him others say it's more about revenge than justice. russia proves clinical trials of one express version of its covert vaccine to spawn a blight today to meet the rising global demand. and the grim footage from a german approach to the extent of a resurgent pandemic in europe as well as accused of stockpiling vaccines at the expense of other e.u. members.

from moscow you're watching the weekly here this morning on r.t. international daniel hawkins welcome. now just days before leaving office 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 fomented at last week's riots at the capitol building but almost $200.00 congress members came out against the vote on doing 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 selection and despite democratic party cools for urgency the trial won't happen before trump leaves office on wednesday it could however eventually see him banned from ever holding public office again. charles rose explains how it could determine his long term future. she will have

already concluded his charm one conviction in the senate will do is open the door to an additional majority basis only determining whether he would be. from. future public office i think the odds are very hard to go 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 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 intro he would get his day in court just like you know the defendant was congress for had to debate impeachment these pictures went viral hundreds of the national guard troops sleeping on the floor in the capitol building many online noting the seat of

government looks 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 occurs safely and without incident the efforts to said sure cancel and blacklist our fellow citizens are wrong and they are dangerous in iraq quiet week online mainly because he was cut off by the major social networks he's been permanently banned by twitter and snap chat facebook and instagram accounts seem to back online on friday earlier this week mccarron spoke to legal

ins and outs on politics about whether or not the proper forms 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 obvious 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 censorship will be move on to other parts of our problems they will credit party 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 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 of being exposed for 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 we dealt 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 to 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 sputnik vaccine with national and global demand growing a new shot known as sporting life protects for a short time but only requires one dose instead of 2 its efficacies thought to be around 85 percent that's 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 where i guess the if has more. 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 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 meter that are already out 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 the most then the vaccines they require a 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

to the king 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 oil is 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 does this 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 other the reverse 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 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. 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 a video emerged from one of germany's worst affected regions harnessing just how bad the situation has become some 300 bodies piling up in a queue for a crowbar tory i'm in saxony coffins that one on top of the other are often simply

labeled with the words coverts and infectious risk it comes as the european union struggles to maintain unity over covert vaccine purchases brussels is urging member states to keep to the rocks centralized distribution scheme but not all of them seem to be sticking to the agreements with more here's our europe correspondent peter all of. the european union's one for all and all for one vaccine plan is corp against the problem of members self interest when it comes to obtaining the jobs germany has snapped up an extra $30000000.00 doses of the pfizer 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 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 and 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 unsaid disaffection we indeed have of 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 $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. it is officially said so no wonder the e.u. population is not very happy with that performance in brussels. despite problems with this tribute one of the european commission president is the mining and cope with difficult is given to everybody who receives the chap. 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 allow to do with this or to fix it. or 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. lines also lots are going to the idea a survey for australia's qantas 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 have failed to get across the border deal and the head of the world travel and tourism council says introducing covert 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 learned

a lot of the violence in countries that they still don't have access to the vaccine i don't see that as the only solution mass vaccination should not be the only consideration currently we have a limited supply and we need to where 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 would 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. problem critical accent of ali is back on russian soil and was immediately arrested by police on arrival novelli had been in germany receiving medical treatment after an incident last summer in which he felt seriously ill during

a flight so skewed toner reports from moscow's milk over international airport where the volleys plane was originally shows will follow. 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 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 got that despite with ortiz all skin people not to gather on most of the seat 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 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 the value of sports as well have 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 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

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 issued 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 a 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

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 knees retired to russia has gone and 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 never the last we've seen 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. i'm going to say that arsenal has condemned of all these arrests calling it

a political move and that you council president has proclaimed the opposition figures arrest on acceptable reactions also coming from washington with the u.s. state the problem to asking for the volleys immediate release and an advisor to president elect the whole case is an affront to the russian people russia's foreign ministry has 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 regions. so there is little surprising neurotypical on which one is to appear or. on the conditions of his or they 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 loose political. the political use 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. that it might take even longer the government had said that people might have to wait more than 23 months to get the 2nd job that's far longer than the time scale in which the drugs have been tested but even that gap cannot apparently be fully guarantee. 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 they w h o f d n fires they don't want the seriously willing to concede they are 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 well the different vaccines have been tested with different lead times between the 1st and 2nd dose they range from 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 for the full 12 weeks in order to get at least some vaccine into as many people as possible with that decision was met with widespread criticism and concern as well from both the public and the medical profession one british doctors

campaign group has appealed to the health secretary to make an exception at least for the pfizer vaccine that recommends the shortest gap between jobs in a statement the drugs for points out there's no data to say the 1st those kids protection beyond 21 days british infectious diseases expert dr bharat pollack near 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 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 worlds apart with r.t. 6 out of work are coming up next that's when i retired in hoff allowed to keep your right up to speed on the global news headlines join us again but. the other financial survival today was all about money laundering 1st to visit the status of the 3 different. oh good this is a good start well we have our 3 banks all set up something in europe something in america or something overseas in the cayman islands it will hold these banks are complicit in their tough talk pursued a softer did not fall it's

a money to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did well we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacey old beautiful jewelry and how about. luxury item bill again from that you know what money laundering is highly illegal here for a large class of course. so we were. going to name chris mccomb to. be nothing. came of those he just can stuff it up with if they didn't care that oh. i'm talking cars and very international community. media used to try to

play. with the kids who confessed this study says he didn't eat. those who pushed them but the one who used to cook in brazil so there nuchal script . is everything produced polluted with it if one comes to do with any of the. 5 they have that would affect it all day but i decided not to take people's life. with my grandpa a few that. it seems inevitable the new security regulations fast into law in the wake of the events on capitol hill the original day parade act was made to legitimize the so-called war on terror the patriot act $2.00 focus on domestic care and how will the u.s. engage the e.u. once chosen oh.

god. hello and welcome to well it's a part of the some stables implore us to be cattle what to fish for less to come true up to 4 years of the insufferable dylan all tromped think democrats in the united states triumphantly returning to power not only to the presidency but also to a congressman gertie's is that a reason for the celebration of all perhaps for caution but to discuss that i'm now joined by walt and bello and international a judge professor at the state university of new york and author all counter-revolution global rise of the far right professor bell it's good to talk to

you thank you very much for your time and thank you for inviting me up so i'm not your joining us from the philippines but i'm pretty sure you know what you get vents in the united states quite closely it's a very very complicated picture and we'll try to adapt some of that for starters let me ask you about your main filling your predominant attitude as you look at the inauguration off joe biden in a few days is it's one of holds. well actually if i may just. give you my sense. a realistic sense of what's going to happen. i think biden is going to be facing a very difficult for years. and. i think the united states is entering an era that will be full of social conflict.
