one of those people that they consider a long haul or. politicians in germany are at loggerheads on the covert crisis as public support for tougher restrictions limits. local mayors and friends vent their anger over vaccine shortages and logistical setbacks we've heard from one of the. main thing and this is just a joke we have to get the vaccine ourselves. on for this hour health officials in california warned against using a large batch of medinah jabs after a wave of allergic reactions. and drones barriers troops and checkpoints and

washington d.c. looks more like a war zone i had of joe biden's inauguration amid fears of an insider attack coming from among the 25000 national guard members sentences for 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. come to the program and happy tuesday to you all this is our 2 international bring you your live news update this hour. the already is are split over how to deal with new corona virus strains and high infection rates the country has already passed 48000 deaths and public support for tougher measures has fallen bitter over 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 increasingly severity of lockdown is the only option is fears over a new take actions of covert 19 are rising the leader of the state of bavaria 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 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 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 excess is at serious risk more than 79000000 doses of vaccine have now been. in at least 49 higher income countries just 25 gorgeous 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. in all the vaccination campaign in france 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 late

february but so far the figure stands at around $400000.00 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 a suburb of paris who is very concerned by the situation. today 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 aids is a 1st for the completely chaotic recording process as well as for the mobilization of don't just medical staff the organization of all the 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 is no delivery myself as may drive my own or rent a car to the hospital for 25 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 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. ahead of joe biden's not curation after the capitol hill riot of washington d.c. looks like a war zone with barriers checkpoints and troops deployed across the city but intelligence officials now fear that some of the 25000 national guard troops sent in to ride security could actually pose a threat themselves and carry out an insider attack the f.b.i. is worried they may have links to the approach trump riders although service members are routinely screened for extremist connections r.t. 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 our 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 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 lot of convoys of vehicles going throughout the city with sirens on basically a show of force that's expected to continue all 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. 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 believes 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 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 in time. the recent wave of big tech censorship shows no sign of abating with apple now under pressure to ban the increasingly popular besting out 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 funding and semitic 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 writers 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 ban along with other online purges appears to have 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 are there my colleague you know neil discussed efforts to topple telegram with a panel of our 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 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 perl as a jewish person and calls his emotional distress do you think there's any merit to

his case there's no merit at all to this case again this case is going against it's trying to utilize the law to go against the 1st amendment that's the freedom of assembly it's trying to limit the freedom of speech is trying to limit that and while these are private companies there are still people that are able to or are able to create and able to do that i don't see 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 when 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 a bug bug 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 the independence i would say that big tech is is feeling pretty safe and comfortable right now which is why they're taking so many actions against their competitors because i think they know at the end of the day that by an administration is going to be very friendly with them because they say they toe the same party line of more on the latest grim milestone coming out of the united states when it comes to coronavirus after the short break.

join me every socially on the all excitement and i'll be speaking to us of the

world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. come 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 vaccines with more than a 1000000 people getting the job so far our mass vaccination is not without its challenges as are 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 that and they leave the accident 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 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 well 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 well that is the casual connection there are 13 deaths that have been assessed and we are aware of of the 16 deaths that's a currently being assessed all deaths of those 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 vaccinations 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 salem oppen r.t. new york and factious disease specialist william schaffner once to see a full investigation into the cluster of allergic reactions in california we know that these m. or in a bank scenes are associated with more olympic reactions the last number i saw from the c.d.c. was he leaven such reactions for every 1000000 doses so still rather rare little grouping in one clinic that deserves further investigation did something unusual happened in that clinic all wasn't d.

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 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 in 8 people hospitalized in britain with a virus dies of related complications within months of being discharged on the only one 3rd of patients who recover from the virus are later readmitted to the hospital a study also reveals some severe or 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 of the mission but there are clear signals to associations between medium. effect in the lungs affecting the hot throat in the liver and also the kidneys and we need to get better at seeing stratifying who are the people that we need to ideally we need kind of us attention 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 accused pro-democrat forces in the us of cracking down on free speech in the wake of the couple riots artie's modesty of has a story. 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 and they also discussed what happened in the aftermath in the days after when donald trump was removed from twitter for example other conservative personalities and figures muzzled online on various platforms as well as apps applications where conservatives millions of people communicated with each other were removed from google store and apple's own store. but the current president who got the votes will miss 75000000 americans as well as his supporters were stripped of a fundamental right to freedom of speech their access to voters to the largest social media platforms was blocked why did that happen because of

a court decision no it only a quote could have taken such a decision it's the opponents of the president who stand behind this decision and this is nothing but a violation of the basic rights and freedoms of u.s. citizens reacting to these bans and these removals many leaders european leaders for example engler merkel the chancellor of germany they voiced alarm concern and worry that the power of these tech giants as well as symbolism behind what they did the muzzling and elected president no less the this is a worrying side and here the russians also pointed out the irony of the united states experiencing what it had actively and happily exploited 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. as

the race for power that unfolded between the 2 leading parties in the united states led to the storming of congress and human casualties we have always opposed violent unconstitutional actions the united states on the country has encouraged and supported these processes in many countries around the world interfering in the sovereign affairs everywhere washington is called participants of unauthorized political campaigns fighters for freedom and democracy when the same thing happened in the us itself they called 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 like what happened on capitol hill happens in russia. last thing we turn to some world news in brief europe's most active volcano mount etna put on a striking display as more of a lit up the night sky and telling authorities have issued an ash advisory to airlines now this is the latest any series of eruptions in recent months. the cincinnati zoo has released its penguins not into the. but to waddle among the visitors social distancing is in place though so guess won't be able to get too

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