checkpoints washington d.c. looking more like a war zone ad of joe biden's inauguration amid fears of an insider attack coming from among the $25000.00 national guard sent in to secure the event. basically every street has this fencing if you follow me as i walk out on the street there are no vehicles only security vehicles only police vehicles. good morning to you watching. german authorities are split over how to deal with a double whammy of new corona virus strains and stubbornly high infection rates the country's already passed $48000.00 public support for tougher measures that's plummeted and it's left the government in a tight spot correspondent peter oliver has details. with germany looking for
3:02 am
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 actions of covert 90 are rising the leader of the state of the varia wants to see more action being taken and 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
3:03 am
already looking for an escape like german foreign minister heiko must 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 oppa to killie on happy at the moment while berlin officials pull in 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
3:04 am
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 oliver r.t. . those countries around the world. vaccination programs the world health organization warns of what is calling a catastrophic moral failure in how supplies are distributed we now face is the real danger that even as vaccines bring hope to some they become another brick in the wall of inequality between the worlds of the world's haves and have nots the problem is of axis is at serious risk. more than 79000000 doses of
3:05 am
vaccine have now been. in at least 49 higher income countries. just 25 borders have been given in one lowest income country not 25000000 not 25000 just 25. i need to be blunt. the world is on the brink of a catastrophe moral failure. and the prize of this failure will be paid with lives and livelihoods in the world's poorest countries. however it's not always smooth sailing for those lucky enough to have access to the vaccine for example france's mass vaccination programs come under scathing attack from regional mayors who say that there aren't enough doses and the rollout is riddled with just tickle problems it saddens me to see it but it's
3:06 am
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 is one of the european countries hit hardest by the pandemic it's vaccinated more than $400000.00 people so far but is aiming to reach a 1000000 by the end of the month and over $2000000.00 by the end of february commenting on delays a french official promised more than half a 1000000 doses a week from next week meanwhile we spoke to a mare in a suburb of paris who's very concerned by 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
3:07 am
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 a rose 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. here. at a joe biden's inauguration and following the capitol hill riots washington d.c. is looking a bit like a war zone as paris checkpoints and troops deployed across the city intelligence officials there are now some of the 25000 national guard sent in to provide security could actually be posing a threat by carrying out what they're calling an insider attack the f.b.i. is worried that they may have links to the pro trump riotous service members are routinely screened for extremist connections to america correspondent john king
3:08 am
reports from d.c. . so we're at the corner 14th street and street just just down the just south of here is the national mall so basically all of this area has been shut down the streets the bridges the tunnels as we get closer to on the ration day and the fencing that you see behind me right there this is throughout 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
3:09 am
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 of 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
3:10 am
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 continue to take a look and see you know how things are going to progress as we get closer to wednesday and earlier we spoke to former u.s. army captain roger hill who says that the additional vetting of troops is unwarranted think it's a form of censorship this is just a step towards that for 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 who swore 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 and we also we all swore an oath to do so why the loss of trust in that it was at this point.
3:11 am
the recent wave of big tech censorship says no sign of abating with apple now under pressure to ban the increasingly popular messaging app telegram the campaign group is suing apple for failing to remove it from the store claiming that 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 the coalition for a safer web claims telegram was used by the capitol hill rioters and violated apple's guidelines the push to get telegram taken offline comes after a big tech giants recently banned the social network parlor by hosting violent content that platform is popular with right wing americans. the power band along with other online purges appears to have given telegram quite a popularity boost it reportedly picked up $25000000.00 new users in just 72 hours
3:12 am
that brings its total user base to more than half a 1000000000 among them the leaders of at least 10 countries including brazil france and turkey earlier my colleague in a new york discussed efforts to topple telegram the 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
3:13 am
that they're completely in compliance with the you know party messaging the money 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 are able to create and able to do that but i don't see it does either legal any legal theory where they can prevail in this lawsuit there's so much trouble stubble standard here i mean there's 5 months that is common constantly paraded around twitter and facebook these apps these platforms are notorious for left wing threats and
3:14 am
for inciting violence on forums like facebook there have been murders rapes and suicides lifestream g.-mail was infamous when it was being used by islamic terrorists to actually planned 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 about buck 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 independent i would say that big tech is is feeling
3:15 am
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 biden administration is going to be very friendly with them because they say they toe the same party line. stay with and see coming up a survey shows half french teachers are reluctant to discuss religious issues after the recent murder of middle school teachers some of the stories are recent. well today we're going to talk about what happens when. government is. used to gather what corporations want to happen. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in

california becoming the country's 1st state to top 3000000 cases figure there tripling in just the past 2 months hospitals are struggling to meet demand with tens of thousands of patients requiring medical care california has placed its hopes on vaccination with more than a 1000000 people getting the job so far but must fix a nation is not without its challenges the saudis caleb maupin explains. it was the vaccination process brings with it hope that the pandemic could finally be brought to a net 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 the vailable the accident been 3 and pulls their administrations 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 this is in california have called for
3:18 am
a temporary halt to the vaccine from the pharma giant known as madonna the stated reason a higher than usual number of the diverse affects all of the incidents are reported to have taken place at a single community clinic in calif. fornia the site was closed down for several hours after the adverse reactions happened is switched to another batch of the drug and currently medina 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 bile an attack jab now those who died were elderly folks with serious 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 at that or use a casual connection there are 13 deaths that have been assessed and we are aware of
3:19 am
and 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 salome 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 and 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 caleb oppen r.t. new york. infectious disease specialist william schaffner wants to see
3:20 am
a full investigation into the cluster of allergic reactions in california. we know that these m. or in a back seat these are associated with more alert chick 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 of 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
3:21 am
people more quickly. and while across the atlantic in the u.k. research is a published some alarming new findings about coronavirus patients according to one such report one in 8 people hospitalized in britain with the virus and dies of related complications within months of being discharged nearly one 3rd of patients who recover from the virus later readmitted to hospital the study also reveal some severe long term effects that include hard problems in diabetes we spoke with one of the scientists behind the study. not only does call it a virus. cause death and most people are 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.
3:22 am
converse affection if we have it we need to make sure that we treat underlying conditions and will want to treat these people to see if they develop and if they do develop for example diabetes or kidney disease we need to do more research to see how that progresses over time. recent polls reveal 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 to history teacher kevin basu a who says that teaching the curriculum has become a real minefield more so we obviously affected by this problem more girls i personally teach in a department that's experiencing a serious increase in islam is about 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
3:23 am
holocaust really happen when we go through the palestinian israeli conflict it's extremely difficult for us to talk about specific facts because students of muslim origin of the take a very pro palestinian and deeply anti is zionist position we consciously criticise and we can't teach the curriculum 2 of them. are scum 3 months after the killing of schoolteachers samuel party he died in an islamist attack last year at the showing characters of the prophet muhammad in a lesson on the freedom of expression. i know one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our competitor it was the victim of an islamist terror attack.
3:24 am
his killing was followed by a crackdown by french authorities including raids on mosques private islamic schools and charities as the micron also repeatedly vowed to protect the french model of free speech but some of the statements have been labeled discriminatory about the muslim world leave its history teacher kevin per say again thinks that the french authorities could do more. than emotion no i'm not afraid my possum republican values because they need to be passed on if we the french teaches refused to do this the islamists will eventually win look at what for example sebastian cuz 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
3:25 am
refuses to take further steps to deputies from the party all the manual macro try to introduce a ban on wearing the his shop 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 if stigmatize ation we pass on the problem of fighting radical islam. secretary rice will use in bringing for you starting with europe's most active volcano mount etna is put on a strike. display as molten large as litter the night sky in sicily italian authorities the harbor shoot an ash advisory to airlines it is the latest in a series of eruptions in recent months. cincinnati's news releases penguins not to the wild but to waddle among visitors social distancing is in place guests won't be able to get quite too close these are king penguins so the birds are all named after famous kings that include larry king this is martin luther king

3:27 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development the only posts really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. some rumors as soon as. you move. them on those who just came up with it if they didn't feel that oh. i'm talking about is a very international community. meeting yesterday we're going to. leave
3:28 am
this job to keep it as the slow slow slow you need to eat. as the position of the world food used to look at the business for their new country. is everything produced polluted with the forms of t.v. with. the. 5 they have and with effect ago they decided not to take this life with my good to tell you that. i'm max foster this is the kaiser report well today we're going to talk about what happens when governments fuse together with corporations
3:29 am
what happens. if they say well it's certainly no country for small business remember that film no country for old men well we have become no country for small businesses as everybody knows and like all of the tech giants have been raking it in during this lockdown and coded pandemic the small business says were allegedly there were some of these like p.p.p. loans that were meant for them and most of it went to friends of the big banks and bigger clients of the big banks that got all the free money that the end got discharged so we'll show you a headline from the summer this was from august in bloomberg news and they said small businesses are dying by the thousands and no one is tracking the carnage big companies are going bankrupt at a record pace but that's only part of the carnage by some accounts small businesses are disappearing by the thousands amid the koven 1000 pandemic and the drag on the
3:30 am
economy from these failures could be huge this we've of silent failures goes uncounted in part because real time data on small business is notoriously scarce and because owners of small firms often have no debt and thus no need for bankruptcy court. yeah this is curious what sticks out is that they are not tracking this information so the small businesses are the lifeblood of the economy is like saying i'm it's like saying the country decided not to keep track of its children right it's like saying we had 10 kids but they want our off one day and we found out a year later that they all died but we don't care because we were busy. doing whatever was watching netflix or something so it's interesting especially down in.
