but i decided not to take physics like. i gave you that. germany politicians are at loggerheads over how to solve the worsening. crisis that has public support for tougher restrictions plummets. in france vent their anger over vaccine shortages and the just because the country faces teething problems you hear from one regional official. the main thing and this is just a joke we have to get the vaccine ourselves. following a wave of allergic reactions california calls for a batch of madonna jabs to be drawn this comes as a number of countries tried to rely vaccine safety fear. the drones virus

troops and checkpoints washington d.c. is looking more like a war zone these days ahead of joe biden's inauguration amid fears of an insider attack from among the $25000.00 national guard sent in to secure the event. basically every street has this fencing up if you follow me as i walk out on the street there are no big pools only security vehicles only police vehicles. here in moscow thanks for joining us on r.t. international. the german authorities are split over how to deal with the double whammy of new coronavirus strains and stubbornly high infection rates the country's already passed $48000.00 public support for tougher measures that plummeted and it's left the government in a tight spot our correspondent peter has the 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 and to wear the f f p 2 mosques in rail traffic to clear a contact restriction 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 increasingly 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 must use floated the idea of loosening restrictions on boats who've already have the job those who have been vaccinated should be able to exercise their fundamental rights again if their only vaccinated people in a restaurant or cinema they can no longer in danger each other those comments of put the foreign ministry at loggerheads with the interior and health ministries 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 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

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 dealing with covert 19 and as always it's a case of trying to choose the least bad option peter oliver r.t. . as countries around the world ramp up their covert vaccination programs that will help organizations warning of what it calls 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 equitable axis is at serious risk. more than 79000000 doses of

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 prances mass vaccination programs come under scathing attack from regional mayors who say that there aren't enough doses and 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 is one of the european countries hit hardest by the pandemic its functionality of more than 400000 people to date he's aiming to reach a 1000000 people by the end of the month and over 2000000 by the end of february. commenting on delays a french official promised more than half a 1000000 doses a week from next week and while we spoke to a mare in a suburb of paris he'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

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 or rent a car to the hospital for $25.00 doses of the vaccine of a z. 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. that of joe biden's inauguration and after the capitol hill riots washington d.c. looks like a war zone with barriers checkpoints and troops deployed across the city and intelligence officials now face some of the $25000.00 national guard sent in to provide security could actually be posing a threat and carry out well the calling an insider attack the eyes where they may have links to the pro trump riotous service members are routinely screened for extremist connections to america correspondent john reports from d.c. . so we are 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 our large 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 way. 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 9 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 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 have how things are going to progress as we get closer to wednesday earlier we spoke with former u.s. army counter raja hill he says that the additional vetting of troops is a warrant. bigots 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 ministry 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 when we ask we all swore an oath to do so. why the loss of trust in that at this point in time. the

recent wave of big tech censorship shows no sign of abating with our poll now under pressure to ban the increasingly popular messaging app telegram campaign group is suing apple for failing to remove it from its store and claims 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 have telegram taken offline comes after a big tech giants had recently been the social network parlor for hosting violent content that platform is popular with right wing americans the part about along with other online purges appears to have given telegram quite a popularity boost it reportedly picked up 25000000 new users in just 72 hours

bringing its total user base to more than half a 1000000000 among the leaders of at least 10 countries including brazil france and turkey only my colleague in the neil discussed efforts to topple telegram 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 what we're witnessing here is the attempt a concerted effort on the part of this unipart and 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 mullen 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 against their 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 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 draft 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

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. stay with aunty international law coming up a survey shows the french teachers are reluctant to discuss religious issues and so after the recent murder of a middle school teacher some people say we get our story very soon.

crazy. welcome back the corona virus pandemic continues to rampage across america

california's become the country's 1st state to top 3000000 cases figure tripling in just 2 months so it's hospitals are struggling to meet demand tens of thousands of patients requiring medical care for new was placed its hopes on vaccination with more than a 1000000 people so far getting the job must fix a nation is not without its challenges to scalable can explain. 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 pharma giant known as madonna the stated reason a higher than usual number of adverse effects 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 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. so we does not a given that this represents any excess mortality or that is 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 us linked 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 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 coated world finally emerging caleb oppen r.t. new york infectious disease specialist william schaffner wants to say

a full investigation into the cluster of allergic reactions in california we know that these m. ore in a bag sales 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 little creeping in one clinic that deserves further investigation. did something unusual happened in that clinic or wasn't de it there there of vaccines reported adverse reactions gives pause to some people but i think by and large the vaccines have been shown to be safe and or 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.

and researches there of published some alarming new findings about coronavirus patients according to one such report one in 8 people hospitalized in britain with the virus dies of related complications within months of being discharged are nearly one 3rd of patients who recover from the virus or later readmitted to hospital 30 also reveal some severe long term effects that include heart problems and diabetes we spoke with one the scientists behind the study. not only does call it a virus. cause death and most people emission but there are clear signals here and associations between medium. affect 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 would 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 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 to history teacher kevin basu who says that teaching the curriculum has become a real minefield. more so we obviously affected by this problem because i personally teach in a department that's experiencing a serious increase in islam is an awful lot 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 the students of muslim origin of c. take a very pro palestinian and deeply and zionist position we consciously criticized we can't teach the curriculum 2 of them. and this comes 3 months after the killing of school teacher samuel patti who died in an islamist attack last year after showing caricature of the prophet mohammed in a lesson on the freedom of expression. i know considered one of our compatriots was murdered because he taught our compassion and was the victim of an islamist terror attack that. that last thought. that. the killing was followed by a crackdown by french authorities that included raids on mosques private islamic

schools and charities as in the new micron's also repeatedly vowed to protect the french model of free speech but some of the statements have been labeled discriminatory and muslim world leaders strategic kevin again thinks that the french authorities could do more. what yes and no more. no 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 look at what for example sebastian kurz immediately did in austria he made political islam and the ideology associated with political islam illegal while francis cautious in the name of friendship of peoples and freedom we ultimately refused to defend our values and refused to actively fight 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 of emanuel macro try to introduce a ban on wearing the 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 around the world news in brief now 1st of all europe's most active volcano mount put on a striking display as walton larger lit up the night sky in sicily italian authorities have issued an ash advisory to wear lines it is the latest in a series of eruptions in recent months. turning our attention to cincinnati zoo which is released this penguins not to the wild but to what will among visitors social distancing is in place i guess won't be able to get too close and as they are king penguins the birds are all named after famous kings think it larry king martin luther king. burger king.
