chips and check points washington d.c. to. joe biden's inauguration amid fears of an insider attack coming from among the $25000.00 national guard to secure the biggest. basically every street has this fencing and if you follow me as i walk out on the street there are no vehicles only security vehicles only police peoples. either very good morning this is r t and. the german authorities are split over how to deal with the double whammy of new coronavirus strains and stubbornly high infection rates the country has already passed 48000 deaths public support for tougher measures has plummeted leaving the government in a tight spot correspondent peter all of us has details. with germany looking for

a solution to the covert 19 crisis there are a number of options available to the government in the fight against the pandemic there is a selection of options on the table from the requirements to work from home to where f f p 2 masks in real traffic to clear or contact restrictions or curfews the problem though is the thora t's are all split when it comes to taking measures and far from reaching any type of agreement it seems so messy increasing the severity of lockdown is the only option is fears over a new take shins of covert 90 are rising the leader of the state of the varia wants to see more action being taken in swifter fashion the basic problem in our handling of the pandemic was often that the counter measures were taken too late and then loosened too early it also weakens our if it safe decisions made together in berlin

were any implemented half heartedly and in different ways some are already looking for an escape like german foreign minister heiko muss who's floated the idea of loosening restrictions on those who've already have the job those who have been vaccinated should be able to exercise their fundamental rights again if there are only vaccinated people in a restaurant or a cinema they can no longer in danger each other those comments of put the foreign ministry at loggerheads with the interior and health ministry says as long as it's not clear whether a vaccinated person can transmit the virus they can be no exceptions there will be some agreement from angela merkel's meeting with the leaders of germany 16 states later on tuesday because there simply has to be but it won't be smooth sailing a number of those states are particularly on happy at the moment while berlin officials pulling different directions over restrictions it's clear from one poll

that the public is becoming more fed up. only 28 percent of the population are in support of tougher measures that's down 21 percent on previous polls it's the chancellor who has the job of balancing the bickering when it comes to what's right and what's wrong with dealing with covert 19 and as always it's a case of trying to choose the least bad option peter all over r.t. berlin. of france's mass vaccination programs come under scathing attack from regional mess they say that there aren't enough doses and that the rollout is riddled with logistical problems it saddens me to see it but it's a mess the state decided brutally to transfer all the burden of the organization of local vaccinations to the mayors who found themselves in total distress. france which is one of the countries hardest hit by the pandemic in europe is vaccinated around $400000.00 people so far can be saving to reach

a 1000000 people by the end of the month according to the health minister and up to 4000000 by the end of february commenting on the delays are french officials promise that over half a 1000000 doses a week will take place from next week meanwhile we spoke to a marin a suburb of paris who is very concerned with the situation. you begin to understand that everything is built on improvise ation we have to admit that in fact we are responsible for everything from ages 8 1st for the completely chaotic recording process as well as for the mobilization of doctors medical staff the organization of all the logistical process is up to the orders for syringes and cotton wool but the main thing and this is just a joke of the day we have to go and get the vaccine ourselves there's no delivery my myself as man drove my own zoe car to the hospital for 25 doses of the vaccine obviously everything is built on improvise ation it would be ridiculous if people's lives were not at stake as well as other serious issues such as the possibility for

a country finally getting out of this crisis and returning to something similar to normal life and economic prosperity. ahead of joe biden's inauguration and following the capitol hill riots washington d.c. looks a bit like a war zone with barry's checkpoints and troops deployed across the city but intelligence officials now fear that some of the 25000 national guard sent in to provide security could actually pose a threat and carry out an insider attack. is worried that they may have links to the pro trump riotous service members are routinely screened for extremists connections. well it is an unprecedented situation as far as the security and the amount of national guard troops are my last count 22000 but there's expected to be 25000 troops on the ground here in washington d.c. metro area and so we're at the corner 14th street and street just just down the

just south of here is a national law so basically all of this area has been shut down the streets the bridges the tunnels as we get closer to our gratian day and the fencing that you see behind me right there this is through. at the area basically every street has this fencing up and if you follow me as i walk out on the street there are no vehicles only security vehicles only police vehicles but just over my shoulder here as you look south you see the concrete barriers and then you see a white tent well in order to get through into this area you have to go through various checkpoints along the way on the major surface roads here on the major streets you have to show your i.d.'s in some cases they're checking bags i didn't have that issue when i came from my hotel which by the way is full of national guard members i'm not going to say which one for security reasons but that's really the case here bus loads of them coming in over the last couple days but anyway i

went through one of the checkpoints had to show my id had to show my media badge had a bag on me then check it but presumably as we get closer to wednesday the security is going to intensify sold ready very intense is going to be ratcheted up i could tell you this over the weekend i went for a walk in the area saw drones overhead a lot of convoys of vehicles going throughout the city with sirens on basically a show force that's expected to continue all of this as now we hear that the f.b.i. and the army are looking at the backgrounds of national guard members to ensure that there are no warning signs or no flags that there is nobody within their ranks that could possibly try to incite any violence so just think about that for a 2nd the army and f.b.i. looking at basically their own army looking at their own people to ensure that there is no there's no one within the ranks that are going to create a problem at this point i want to be clear there's nothing to suggest that will be

the case but again security they're not taking any chances at this point so all this as the security intensifies here in the d.c. metro area and we you know continue to take a look and see you know have how things are going to progress as we get closer to wednesday. earlier we spoke with former army cancer roger hurley says the mission of vetting of troops is unwarranted think it's a form of censorship this is just a step towards that or troops and i think it's just a prequel to. what we will see with this new by the administration if if we know that these patriots want to take an oath just like i did for the 13 years that i served to support defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic . what do they have to be afraid of when we ask we all swore an oath to do so why the loss of trust in that at this point. the recent wave of big

tega censorship shows no sign of relenting with our poll now under pressure to remove the messaging app telegram from its store its recently seen a surge in users amid an exodus from whatsapp but a washington based campaign group is suing apple for hosting it saying telegram is being used to spread extremist content telegram currently serves is the preferred new not see white nationalist communications channel fanning anti semitic and anti black incitement during the current wave of protests across america or the coalition for a safer web claims telegram violates apple's guidelines on user generated content and that it was used by the rioters who stormed the capitol building in live in the month the group is planning a similar action against google as well meanwhile pavel doer of the russian entrepreneur and creator of the messenger app says that it has blocked hundreds of public calls to violence in the u.s. this all comes after apple google and amazon took the social network parlor offline and using that platform which is popular with right wing americans of hosting

violent content. the parlor ban as well as a spate of social media purges of figures such as donald trump along with plans by whatsapp to share data with facebook seen telegram enjoy a major spike in popularity it reportedly picked up $25000000.00 new users in just 72 hours briggs's total user base to more than half a 1000000000 and the leaders of at least 10 countries including brazil turkey france and israel are known to use telegram early my colleague in an evil discuss the latest developments with a panel of guests. big tel for a long time now has absolutely been acting like a cartel we see coordinated efforts being taken by amazon and google to take down for example parlor which was a main competitor to twitter and when we see them now kind of circling over other apps like telegram you know they'll claim things like oh it's about safety it's about that trying to take down violent threats i think that is absolutely i'm sorry

but but look what we're witnessing here is the attempt a concerted effort on the part of this unipart of democratic machinery to consolidate media in the hands of approved democratic party apparatus is to consolidate all media and information platforms that to make sure that they're completely in compliance with the you know party messaging the modern leading this lawsuit is marc ginsberg a former u.s. ambassador he's claiming the semitic content on telegram puts him in pearl as a jewish person and calls his emotional distress do you think there's any merit to his case there's no merit at all to this case again this case is going against it's trying to utilize the law to go against the 1st amendment that's the freedom of assembly it's trying to limit the freedom of speech is trying to limit that and while these are private companies there are still people that are able to or are

able to create and able to do that i don't see any other legal any legal theory where they can prevail in this lawsuit there's so much trouble stubble standard here i mean there is fine once that is caught constantly paraded around twitter and facebook these apps these platforms that are notorious for left wing threats and for inciting violence on platforms like facebook there have been murders rapes and suicides lifestream g.-mail was infamous when it was being used by islamic terrorists to actually plan attacks by. going into drafts and not actually sending messages this isn't about protecting anyone's safety or emotional wellbeing this is about big tech trying to control the public discourse could this come back to bite the liberal side of the us when the conservative side have more of a say maybe in 4 years down the line they're not going to let this lie there could be a buy back just depends on whoever controls the reins whoever has the power at some

point that pendulum is going to shift i think now we're seeing a greater danger than we thought before because if these people have these entanglements have these and then they can set the rules where does this and is there a merger between big political groups or will there be a concerted fight to keep that independence i would say that big tech is is feeling pretty safe and comfortable right now which is why they're taking so many actions against their competitors because i think they know at the end of the day that by an administration is going to be very friendly with them because they say they toe the same party line. same with anti after the break a survey shows french teachers are reluctant to discuss the religious issues and some of the recent murder of middle school teachers samuel bring you that story very soon.

join me every day simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of sport i'm sure. i'll see you then.

the corona virus pandemic continues to rampage across the united states with california becoming the country's 1st state to top 3000000 cases figures tripled in just the past 2 months the state's hospitals are struggling to meet demand tens of thousands of patients are requiring medical assistance california's places hope some vaccination with more than a 1000000 people getting the job so far but must vaccination is not without its challenges this explains the vaccination process and brings with it hope that the pandemic could finally be brought to an end however as people across the world are

getting the jab problems are arising take the u.s. state of california fewer than 10 individuals required medical attention over the span of 24 hours we are recommending that provide its use of that and they will build accident in 3 and pulls the administration of vaccines and field investigation by the centers for disease control and prevention food and drug administration but they're not and the state is complete their cells in california have called for a temporary halt to the vaccine from the farm and giant known as madonna the stated reason a higher than usual number of adverse affects all of the incidents are reported to have taken place at a single community clinic in california the site was closed down for several hours after the adverse reactions happened is switched to another batch of the drug and currently madonna is investigating what exactly took place but not many others would follow suit even when things got more serious in norway people die after receiving the pfizer bio tech jab now those who died were elderly folks with

serious and basic disorders at this point. we've got fires there and violent attack conducting an investigation along with the norwegian regulators it is important to remember that about 45 people die every day in nursing homes in norway so we does not a given that this represents any excess mortality on that or use a casual connection there are 13 deaths that have been assessed and we are aware of of the 16 deaths that's a currently being assessed all deaths of those links to this vaccine many have noted that the official corporate response came across as rather cold and lacking the simple thing fines and by intake are when reported deaths the number of incidents so far is not a looming and in line with expectations reports from israel show 13 people developed facial paralysis after getting their vaccination though doctors say the number of cases is actually higher in practice the israeli ministry of health says

it is safe to go ahead and administer a 2nd shot so did big pharma corporations rushed the vaccine jumped the gun then perhaps in danger public health that's a question on many minds as the vaccination process continues ahead at full speed offering the hope for a post coded world finally emerging hale bopp and r.t. new york. infectious disease specialist william schaffner wants to see a full investigation into the cluster of allergic reactions in california. we know that these m. ore in a back seat is are associated with more allergic reactions the last number i saw from the c.d.c. was 11 such reactions for every 1000000 doses so still rather rare but a groupie in one clinic that deserves further investigation did something unusual happened in that clinic or wasn't deed it that their church vaccines report

of adverse reactions gives pause to some people but i think by and large the vaccines have been shown to be safe and are wonderfully effective so across the country at the present time we have more demand than we have vaccines and so our program is rolling out and becoming more efficient we're trying to vaccinate more people more quickly across the atlantic in the u.k. researchers have published some alarming new findings about coronavirus patients according to that report one in 8 people hospitalized in britain with the virus dies of related complications within months of being discharged on the early one 3rd of patients who recover from the virus are later readmitted to hospital the study also reveals some severe long term effects including heart problems and diabetes and spoke with one of the scientists behind the study. not only

does call it a virus. cause death and most people mission but there are clear signals here associations between medium. effect in the lungs affecting the heart affecting the liver and also the kidneys and we need to get better at seeing and stratifying who are the people that we need to act ideally we. converse affection if we have it we need to make sure that we treat underlying conditions and we're monitoring these people to see if they develop and if they do develop for example diabetes or can exist we need to do more research to see how that progresses over time. the. recent poll has revealed that nearly every 2nd teacher in france is self censoring on religious issues the survey showed the holocaust and evolution are among the most contentious topics we spoke with history teacher kevin basu a who says the teaching of the curriculum has become

a real minefield more too so we obviously affected by this problem because i personally teach in a department that's experiencing a serious increase in islam is a muslim and where there is also a large muslim community for example when we talk about the events like the holocaust some students might say course we're talking about the jews again what's going on it's always the same it's their power we never talk about muslims did this holocaust really happen when we go through the palestinian israeli conflict it's extremely difficult for us to talk about specific facts and the students of muslim origin of c. take a very pro palestinian and deeply anti is zionist position we consciously criticized we can't teach the curriculum to adam. this comes 3 months after the killing of a schoolteacher samuel party who died in an islamist attack last year after showing caricature of the prophet muhammad in a lesson on the freedom of expression. on

the inside one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compassion and was the victim of an islamist terror attack. the killings followed by a crackdown by the french authorities including raids on mosques private islamic schools and charities president matter on as also repeatedly found to protect the french model of free speech some of his statements have been labeled as discriminatory by muslim world leaders history teacher kevin boss you again thinks that the french authorities could do more. what just a little more. you know i'm not afraid i pass on republican values because they need to be passed on if we the french teachers refused to do this the islamists

will eventually win it look at what for example sebastian kers immediately did in austria he made political islam and the ideology associated with political islam illegal while france's cautious in the name of friendship of peoples and freedom we ultimately refused to defend our values and refused to actively fights political islam president emmanuel macron who in 2022 when he presents his candidacy for the elections will need to solve this problem refuses to take further steps to deputies from the party forward republic that is the party over manual macro try to introduce a ban on wearing the he's out for young girls under this law but the president did not want to do this for fear of stigmatising this part of society out of fear of stigmatize asian we pass on the problem of fighting radical islam. ok this wrap things up now some lighter news in brief from around the world starting with cincinnati zoo which is released its penguins not into the world but

to waddle among the visitors social distancing is in place though so i guess we'll be able to get too close they are king penguins and so the birds are all named after famous kings including larry king martin luther king and burger king. a log ahead sea turtle named connor is finally returning to his natural habitat are being rescued from a canal in september the reptile was found in a poor condition and under one months of care in a florida rehab center he was fitted with a tracking device so his adventures can be tracked online as part of the turtle conservation and research program. and finishing in italy where europe's most active volcano. now has a rep did again in the thirty's issued an ash advisory to our lines is the latest in a series of eruptions that have been wrong going for several months. not quite

cheery finished there but i think you got the point of about with more for you in half an hour. well today we're going to talk about what happens. to gather what corporations what happens. taste awful. then a 2nd wave coming now the virus is mutating walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused. meanwhile patients who recovered from covert started to

report some unusual aftereffects of the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think. one of the things like research is all over the world are trying to determine the many pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers. 1113 there this is throughout the day my hair just. various sources reports that didn't just leave for 35 percent of recovered patients. so. there have been many complaints of peril vision loss joint pain and fatigue in the us these patients are referred to as post coded long holos i talked to multiple doctors in my doctor and they said the feeling that you're going to have a hard time in recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider a long haul or.

i. this is the one business show you can't afford to miss i'm rachel blevins in washington coming out with unemployment claims hitting their highest point since march tobit 19 earnings recession isn't over yet could there be an end in sight we'll discuss what we're getting a look at the incoming by the administration plan for getting the phone virus back on to the public and it aims to keep the national guard after the inauguration is over then china is slapping you think is on the u.s. this time in a bid to keep washington away from taiwan but what will it mean for future talks

between the world's 2 largest economies we have a lot to get to so let's get started. in the latest controversy over the nordstrom to pipeline it appears eric insurance group one of switzerland's largest insurers is dropping out of russia's project this would make it the 3rd firm to pull out following threats of u.s. sanctions according to reuters the outgoing trumpet ministration is preparing a final round of sanctions on companies involved with the pipeline zurich insurance did not comment specifically on customers but said they have a comprehensive compliance framework in place and are committed to fully comply with any applicable sanctions regulations while the north stream 2 backers said the pipeline can proceed german media reported the group has delayed completion once again the 1200 kilometer pipeline running from russia to europe across the baltic sea is now 94 percent complete. speaking of pipelines the future of the keystone

x.l. could soon be in jeopardy president elect joe biden will have the authority to cancel the permit for. the 9000000000 dollar project does soon as he takes office while construction of the pipeline is already underway from canada to nebraska and has hit several road blocks since it was revived by president trump and then concerns from environmentalist and native tribes a judge put a hold on the permit back in april arguing that the u.s. army corps of engineers did not take into account the impact it would have on endangered species but in an attempt to garner bind and support the pipelines developer has promised to make a series of changes which include a pledge to power the pipeline using only renewable energy to complete its construction using a union work force and to eliminate all carbon emissions by 2030 biden has yet to say whether it will be enough. more 4th quarter.
