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 but. in the day's headlines politicians in germany are at loggerheads on the hope of crisis as public support for tougher restrictions on the. local mayors and friends vented their anger over vaccine shortages and with just the facts we heard from one of them. this is just a joke. to get the vaccine. also this hour health officials in california warn against using a large batch of modern and after wave of allergic reaction. and drones barriers troops and checkpoints washington d.c.

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 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. a very warm welcome to the program at 6 pm here in the russian capital let's get started with your life news update. german authorities are split over how to deal with new corona virus strains and high infection rates in the country the country has already passed 48000 public support for tougher measures has fallen here although 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 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. or 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 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 being 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 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 that x. an asian 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 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 a suburb of paris who is current concerned by the current 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 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 i 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 a serious issue 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 not curation and after the capitol hill siege 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 and to provide 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 pro trump riders those service members are routinely screened for extremist connections are to america's correspondent john hunt 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 concrete barriers. 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 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 you know continue to take a look and see you know have how things are going to progress as we get closer to

wednesday we spoke to former u.s. army captain roger hill who feels the additional that ing 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 when we all say we all swore an oath to do so why the loss of trust in that at this point. 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 funding and she 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 a 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 $25000000.00 new users in the span of 72 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 you know neal discuss efforts to topple telegram with our 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 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 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 are able to create and able to do that against the other legal and the legal theory where they can prevail in this lawsuit there's so much trouble stubble standard here i mean there is fine once 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 kind of tax 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 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. 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 vaccines with more than a 1000000 people getting the shot so far over 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 available vaccine and then 3 and pulls the administration of vaccines until the investigation by the centers for disease control and prevention food and drug administration but they're not and the states. complete fishel 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 bile and attack jab now those who died were elderly folks with serious and 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 and 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 sympathy funds and by intake are when reported deaths the number of instances so far is not salome and in line with expectations reports from israel show 13 people developed facial paralysis after getting their vaccination though doctors say the number of cases is actually higher in practice the israeli ministry of health says it is safe to go ahead and administer a 2nd shot so did big pharma corporations rushed the vaccine jumped the gun and perhaps in danger public health that's a question on many minds as the vaccination process continues ahead at full speed offering the hope for a post coated world finally emerging caleb oppen r.t. new york. and factious disease specialist william schaffner wants to see

a full investigation into the cluster of allergic reactions in california we know that these m. or in a bag scenes are associated with more allergic reactions the last number i saw from the c.d.c. was he levels such reactions for every 1000000 doses so still rather rare but it goopy in one clinic that deserves further investigation did something unusual happened in that clinic or wasn't deed it their church vaccines report of adverse reactions gives cause 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 in 8 people hospitalized in britain with a virus dies of related complications within months of being discharged on the early one 3rd of patients who recover from the virus are later readmitted to the hospital a study also reveals some severe long term effects and quitting heart problems and diabetes we spoke with one of the scientists behind the study. not only does corner virus didn't cause death and most people are mission but there are clear signals here of associations between medium term effects effect in the lungs affecting the heart affecting the liver and also the kidneys and we need to get better at seeing and stratifying who are the people that we need to act earlier ideally we're. kind

of us 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 progresses over time. the leader of russia's parliament has a key is pro-democrat forces in the us of cracking down on free speech and the wake of the capital right at artie's where i got to have 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 the google store and apple's own store. but it is the current president who got the votes of almost $75000000.00 americans as well as his supporters were stripped of a fundamental right 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 yet only a court 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 a muzzling an elected president no less the this is a worrying side at the 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 offices as freedom fighters and heroes are worth 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 happens 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 it 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. a recent poll has revealed that nearly every 2nd teacher in france is self censoring on religious issues the survey showed that the holocaust and evolution are among the most contentious topics we spoke to a history teacher kevin will say who says that teaching has become in minefield. also so we all must be affected by this problem or does i personally teach in a department that's experiencing a serious increase in islam is i'm not and where there is also a large muslim community for example when we talk about the events like the holocaust some students might say 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 has extremely difficult for us to talk about specific facts because students of muslim origin of c. take

a very pro palestinian and deeply anti is zionist position because lee criticized we can't teach the curriculum 2 of them. that's come 3 months after the killing of school teacher samuel partier who died and is a mess as hack last year after showing caricature of the prophet muhammad and the lesson on the freedom of expression. i know one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our competitor it was the victim of an islamist terror attack. the killing was followed by a crackdown by the french authorities including raids on mosques private islamic schools and charities present among all micron has also vowed repeatedly to protect

the french model of free speech but some of the statements have been labelled as discriminatory by muslim world leaders history teacher kevin go say again however things that the french authorities can do more what. no i'm not afraid my possum republican values because they need to be passed on if we the french teaches refused to do this the islamists will eventually win look at what for example sebastian cuz immediately did in austria he made political islam and the ideology associated with political islam illegal while france is cautious in the name of friendship of peoples and freedom we ultimately refused to defend own 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 out of fear if stigmatize ation we pass on the problem of fighting radical islam. let's wrap up with some world news in brief europe's most active volcano mount etna put on a striking display as well lit up. the night sky in sicily telling authorities have issued an ash advisory to airlines the 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 guests won't be able to get too close as their king penguins the birds are all named after a famous kings including larry king martin luther king and even burger king. and a longer head sea turtle named connor is finally returning to his natural habitat after being rescued from a canal in september through

greetings and sal you tell you should welcome. to a brand new episode of watching the hawks in the brand new year of 2021 yes we finally we've. 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 the mago raid on our nation's capital capital an exhibition not of freedom patriotism or revolution but of blind idolatry and sky 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 down the middle of the political spectrum were losing their collective minds and either absolute joy 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 gate himself 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 yes the dom's own son.
