join me every thursday on the elec so i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you the. politicians in germany are at loggerheads on the current crisis and public support for tougher restrictions on that. plus local mayors and friends of vent their anger over vaccine shortages and logistics cutbacks we heard from one of the. main thing and this is just a joke we have to go get the vaccine on sales. also this hour health officials in california warned against using a large batch of madonna after a wave of allergic reactions. and drawings of barriers troops and checkpoints washington d.c. looks more like a war zone i had joe biden's inauguration i mean fears of an insider attack coming

from among the 25000 national guard members sent in to secure the 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. watching our 2 international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 4 pm welcome to the program. german authorities are split over how to deal with new corona virus strains and the high infection rates the country has already passed 48000 public support for tougher measures has fallen better all the reports. 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 lockdown is the only option is fears over a new taishan zz 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 those 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 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 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 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 ramp up their vaccine programs the world health organization is warning of a catastrophic moral failure and how supplies are distributed we now face 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 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. the vaccination campaign and friends has come under fire from regional mayors they say there aren't enough doses to go around 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 aiming to vaccinate a 1000000 people by the end of the month and more than twice that number by leap february but so far the figure stands at around 400000. commenting on the delays

the government has promised over half a 1000000 doses a week from next week meanwhile we spoke to a mayor and the suburb of paris is 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 1st for the completely chaotic recording process as well as for the mobilization of doctors medical staff the organization of all 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 ourselves there's no delivery my myself is may drive my own or rent a car to the hospital for $25.00 doses of the vaccine oversee 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. i had of joe biden's inauguration and after the capitol hill for washington d.c. it looks like a war zone and barriers checkpoints and troops deployed across the city but intelligence officials now fear that some $25000.00 national guard troops 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 approach rioters service members are routinely extreme or extremist connections however are to america's correspondent john hardy 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 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 lot of convoys 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. suggests 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 how things are going to progress as we get closer to wednesday we spoke to former u.s. army captain roger hill who says the additional betting 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 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 oath at this point in time. the reason a 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 is the preferred new nazi 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 big tech giants recently banned the social network parlor for hosting violent content platform is popular with right wing americans the parlor ban along with other online purges appears to have given telegram a popularity boost it reportedly picked up 25000000 new users in the space of 272 hours 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 unit 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 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 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 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 any of 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 the independents 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 biden administration is going to be very friendly with them because they say they toe the same party line their global news update continues after this short break.

oh. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those words. no dares thinks. we dare to ask. anyone else to show small seemed wrong all right old quotes just don't hold. any old belief yet to shape our disdain to come out ahead and in games from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when you

choose to look for common ground. welcome back the corona virus 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 shot so far our mass vaccination is not without its challenges as artie's kilmartin 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 availability accident density and pulls the administration of vaccines until the investigation by the centers for disease control and prevention food and drug administration madonna and the state is complete the szell's 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 and the tech jab well those who died were elderly folks with serious basic disorders at this point we've got fires there and. on the tech 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 well that is the 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 the simple thing fines and by intake are aware of 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 coded world finally emerging caleb 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 leaven such reactions for every 1000000 doses so still rather rare but it grouping 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 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. 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 or later complications within months of being discharged on the right one 3rd of patients who recover from the virus are later readmitted to the hospital the study also reveals some severe long term effects including heart problems and diabetes we spoke with one of the scientists behind the study. not only does coronavirus.

cause death and most people are mission but there are clear signals here of associations between the medium. affecting the lungs affecting the heart affecting the liver and also the kidneys and we need to get better seeing and stratifying who are the people that we need to ideally we have void 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 kidney disease we need to do more research to see how that progress is over time. the leader of russia's parliament has accuse pro-democratic forces in the us of cracking down on free speech in the wake of the capital feige and i speak to the state duma he calls for international organizations to look into the issue we cannot provide to our teams

a senior correspondent juan garcia for more on this rod what was said in the russian parliament well this was the opening session of the russian parliament the state do with the 1st session of the year and of course they reacted in disgust to what happened in the united states on the 6th of january the storming of capitol hill the halls of congress they also discussed what happened in the aftermath in the days after when donald trump was removed from twitter for example are the conservative personalities and figures muzzled online on various platforms as well as apps applications where conservatives millions of people communicated with each other were moved from google store and apple's own store. years to assure the acting president who got the votes of almost 75000000 americans

as well as his supporters was stripped of their fundamental right the freedom of speech their access to voters through the largest social media platforms was blocked why did that happen because of a court decision no yet only a court could have taken such a decision it's the opponents of the acting president who stand behind this decision and this is nothing but an invasion of the basic rights and freedoms of u.s. citizens. but it's worth mentioning that many of these platforms and their billionaire owners they were never fond of trumpeting really fond of trump they tolerated him for many years but many of these platforms do indeed have a liberal slant and reacting to these bans and these removals many leaders european leaders for example anglo merkel the chancellor of germany they voiced alarm they were concerned and worried that the power of these giants tech

giants as well as the act the symbolism behind what they did a muzzling an elected president no less the this is a worry inside and here the russians also pointed out the irony of the united states experiencing what it had actively and happily exported for many years which is coups in revolutions where they painted those who stormed parliaments and marched on government officers as freedom fighters and heroes. but it was our worst the race for power that unfolded between the 2 leading parties in the united states led to the storming of parliaments and human casualties we've always opposed violent unconstitutional actions the usa on the country has encouraged and supported these processes in many countries around the world interfering in their sovereign affairs everywhere washington has called participants of unauthorized

political campaigns fighters for freedom and democracy when the same thing happened in the us itself they call these people domestic terrorists who now face 15 to 20 years in prison these will be the real political prisoners washington has to admit that either this is double standards or they have those who are suffering for their political views. there was a point to the speech by the speaker of the russian parliament it wasn't just to mock the united states there are elections coming up in russia parliamentary elections this year and they expect him to ference they expect foreign meddling primarily from the united states and its nato allies attempts to affect the outcome and you know the lessons have been learned about what happened in the united states and their efforts are being undertaken to ensure that voters in russia don't have the sort of questions that american voters did in the aftermath

of the election there and that nothing alike to what happened on capitol hill happens in russia artie's mind as they have thank you for bringing us that report. let's wrap up now with some news in brief from around the world europe's most active volcano mount up on a striking display as molten lava lit up the night sky in sicily italian authorities have issued an ash advisory to airlines it's the latest in a series of eruptions in recent months. the cincinnati zoo has released its penguins in the us not into the wild but to waddle among the visitors social distancing is in place though so guess won't be able to get too close as their king penguins the birds are all named after famous kings in the flooding larry king martin luther king and even burger king. and the loggerhead

sea turtle named connor is finally returning to its natural habitat after being rescued from a canal in september the reptile was found in poor condition and underwent months of care and a florida rehab center he was fitted with a tracking device so his ventures can be tracked online as part of the eternal conservation and research program. that's all for this hour news wise but if you all those stories have unquenched your thirst for news on over to our website or to dot com for countless articles and interviews. is your media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. high salacious community. are you going the right way or are you being led. to. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. of the shallows. taste awful. first game code then a 2nd wave coming now the virus is mutating i'd walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused. meanwhile patients who recovered from covert

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

these researches will cover almost 3000 kilometers in trans polar aircraft and they'll stay here until the antarctic summer returns. snow in the very heart of antarctica has one amazing property. when the temperature drops below minus $55.00 it becomes a drive frozen sand if a plane lands on it friction instantly sheaths it skis which then refreeze solidly onto the runway. that's why planes can only fly.
