focus on domestic air and coal will be us against the e.u. once josina. going to. in germany politicians are at loggerheads over how to solve the worsening kobe 1000 crisis as public support for tougher restrictions drops. also this hour local mayors and friends vent their anger over vaccine shortages and logistical issues as the country's jobber a lot faces teething problems we heard from one of the regional specials main thing and this is just a joke we have to go get the facts you know sales. falling a wave of allergic reactions california calls for a batch of mud there are no jobs to be withdrawn and it comes as

a number of countries also trying to allay vaccine safety fears. and drones barriers troops and checkpoints washington d.c. it looks more like a war zone ahead of joe biden's inauguration amid fears of an insider attack coming from among the 25000 national guard sent in to secure the big event 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. you're watching aren't international coming to you live from the russian capital this and every hour welcome to the program. the german authorities are split over how to deal with a double whammy of new corona virus strains and stubbornly high infection rates the country has already passed 40000 deaths public support for tougher measures has

plummeted even the government in a tight spot our europe correspondent peter all over 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 increasing the severity of lock down is the only option is fears over a new take sions 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 only implemented half heartedly and in different ways some are already looking for an escape like german foreign minister heiko musse who's 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 they're 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 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 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. support of tougher measures that's down 21 percent on the 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. . as countries around the world ramp up their covert vaccination programs the world health organization warns of what it calls a catastrophic moral failure and how supplies are distributed is a 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. is at

serious risk. more than 79000000 doses of vaccine have now been. in at least 49 higher income countries. just 25 daughters have been given in one lowest into 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 trailer will be paid with lives and livelihoods in the world's poorest countries at the same time it's not always smooth sailing for those lucky enough to have access france's mass vaccination program has come under scathing attack from

regional mayors who say 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 pentatonic vaccinated more than $400000.00 people so far but is aiming to reach a 1000000 people by the end of this month and over $2000000.00 the by the end of february commenting on the delays a french official has promised over half a 1000000 doses a week from next week meanwhile we spoke to a mayor and a suburb of paris who is very concerned of by the situation. if 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 1st for the completely chaotic recording process as well as for the mobilization of don't just medical stuff the

organization of all a logistical prices 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 all selves there's no delivery my myself is may drive my own car to the hospital for 25 doses of the vaccine of a z. everything is built on improvise ation it would be ridiculous if people's lives would not stake as well as of the 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. i had of joe biden's inauguration and after the capitol hill riots washington d.c. it looks like a war zone barriers 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 f.b.i. f.b.i. is worried they may have links to the approach from rioters service members are

routinely screened for extremists connections are to america's correspondent and john how the reports from d.c. so we are at the corner 14th street and street just just on 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 dog 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 cons. 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 their 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 to former u.s. army captain roger hill who says the additional vetting of troops is unwarranted. i 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 ministry 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 and 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 oath at this point in time. the recent wave of big tech censorship shows no sign of abating with apple now under pressure to ban the increasingly popular messaging app telegram a campaign group is suing apple for failing to remove it from its store claiming telegram is being used to spread extremist content telegram currently serves is the preferred new nazi white nationalist communications channel finding anti semitic and anti black incitement during the current wave of protests across america the coalition of 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 big tech giants recently banned the social network parlor for hosting violent content platform is popular with right wing americans. parlor band along with other online

purchase appear to a given telegram a popularity boost it reportedly picked up $25000000.00 new users in the space of 72 hours 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 noonan o'neill 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 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 a democratic machinery to consolidate media in the hands of

approved democratic party apparatuses 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 but i don't see any other legal any legal theory where they can prevail in this lawsuit there's so much trouble. and here i mean

there is fine once that is caught constantly paraded around twitter and facebook these apps these platforms 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 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 administration is going to be very friendly with them because they say they toe the same party line. still had a survey shows that how french teachers are reluctant to discuss religious issues after the recent murder of a middle school teacher and i teach you tell that story and more after this break.

lead. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going for indication let it be an arms race is on often scary dramatic development that only really engages uses i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

welcome back the coronavirus pandemic continues to rampage across the u.s. with california becoming the country's 1st state to top 3000000 cases that's triple the number of infections just 2 months ago the state's 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 our mass vaccination is not without its challenges as artist and explains. the vaccination process 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 the available vaccine

been 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 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 exact. took place but not many others would follow suit even when things got more serious in norway people died after receiving the pfizer bile and the 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 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 into 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 sympathy funds 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 showed 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 kaleb oppen 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 bag scenes are associated with more allergic reactions the last number i saw from the c.d.c. was he leavens such reactions for every 1000000 doses so still rather rare but it grew big 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 on coronavirus patients according to the report one an 8 people hospitalized in britain with the virus dies of related complications within months of being discharged on nearly one 3rd of patients who recover from the virus are later readmitted to the hospital study also reveal some severe long term effects including heart problems and 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 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 ideally we. kind of action 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 degrees we need to do more research to see how that progresses over time. a recent poll has revealed that nearly every 2nd teacher and francis self censoring on religious issues a survey showed that the holocaust and evolution are among the most contentious topics we spoke to history teacher kevin but say this says that teaching of the curriculum has become a real minefield more so we obviously affected by this problem or does 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 is extremely difficult for us to talk about specific facts because students of muslim origin of c. take a very pro palestinian in d.p. and designed his position we consciously criticized we can't teach the curriculum 2 of them. this all comes 3 months after the killing of a schoolteacher a summer party who died in an islamist attack last year after showing caricature of the prophet mohammad and a lesson on freedom of expression. i know that one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compassion it was the victim of an islamist terror attack.

the killing was followed by a crackdown by the french authorities including raids on mosques private islamist schools and charities present a manual mccrone has also repeatedly vowed to protect the french model of free speech but some of his statements have been labelled as discriminatory as her teacher of having the say again however thinks that the french authorities can do more. what just an emotion. no i'm not afraid my possible 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 refuses to take further steps to deputies from the party all the manual macro try to introduce a ban on wearing the his job for young girls under this law but the president did not want to do this for a fair of stigmatizing this part of society how to fit if stigmatize ation we pass on the problem of fighting radical islam. let's wrap up now with some news in brief from around the world europe's most active volcano now put on a striking display as molten lava lit up the night sky. in sicily italian authorities have issued an ash advisory to airlines its latest in a series of eruptions in recent months. the cincinnati zoo has released its penguins not into the wild but to waddle among the visitors social distancing is in place though so guess won't be allowed to get too close and as their king penguins

greetings and sal you taishan welcome my friends to a brand new episode of watching the hawks in the brand new year of 2021 yes we finally we finally made it through to the other side of the god awful that was 2020 only to be greeted by who to appear absurdity and violent zealotry of the great january 6th mago raid on our nation's capital capital an exhibition not of freedom patriotism or revolution but of blind idolatry and white privilege that tragically has left 5 people dead and the nation once again on the verge of a nervous breakdown and you could find no better example of that nervous breakdown in the room than in the response to the apparently earth shattering soul crushing

news that twitter permanently banned our brand name and chief one us president donald trump instantly activists from both the left and the right in the middle of the political spectrum were losing their collective minds and either absolute or outrage upon hearing the news of the band from journalist glenn greenwald tweeting out a handful of silicon valley oligarchs decide who can and cannot be heard including the president of the united states they exert this power unilaterally with no standards accountability or appeal. jumped all the way over to mr russia gave him. yes the us representative out of burbank california my good buddy adam ship who tweeted social media companies have allowed this vile content to fester far too long and need to do much more but banning him is a good start naturally donald trump jr you.
