barker she's a power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle is very real a. struggle. politicians in germany are at loggerheads on the public crisis as public support for tougher restrictions. local mayors and friends vented their anger over maxine shortages and logistical facts we've heard from one of the. main thing and this is just a joke we have to get the facts you know selves. and also this hour health officials in california warned against using a large batch of modernity after it leaves allergic reactions. and

washington d.c. ramps up security at head of joe biden tonight duration troops and groans are at the ready amid fears of an insider attack. 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 arts international coming to you live from the russian capital this and every hour welcome to the program. german authorities are split over how to deal with new corona virus strains and rising infection rates the country has already passed 48000 deaths and public support for tougher measures has fallen arches peter all for 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 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 any implemented half heartedly and in different ways some are already looking for an escape like german foreign minister heiko muss 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. . the head of the world health organization has mourned of an impending disaster due to an equal distribution of covert back scenes he described it as a catastrophic moral failure we mouth is the real danger that even as vaccines bring hope to some they become another brick in the wall of inequality between the worlds of the world's haves and have nots the problem is of excess is at serious risk. more than 79000000 doses of vaccine have now been. in at least 49 higher income countries. just 25 gorges 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 failure will be paid with lives and livelihoods in the world's poorest countries a 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 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 don't just medical stuff 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 my myself is may drive my owner. 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 were

not at stake as well as of a 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 after the capitol hill siege washington d.c. looks like a war zone with barriers checkpoints and troops deployed across the city thousands of national guard troops were bussed into the city on monday night a total of $25000.00 security personnel will be keeping order in d.c. throughout wednesday earlier intelligence officials warned of a possible threat from service members themselves raising the risk of an insider attack the f.b.i. is worried that some of them may have links to pro trump rioters are to america's correspondent john hardy reports from d.c. . so we are at the corner 14th street and street just just down the just south of here is the national mall so basically all of this area has been shut

down the streets the bridges the tunnels as we get closer to our 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 show. here as you look south you see the concrete barriers and then you see a white 10 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 and 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 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 and we also we all swore an oath to do so why the loss of trust in that at this point in time. apple is under pressure to ban the increasingly popular messaging app telegram a campaign group is suing the tech giant 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 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 rioters and violated apple's guidelines the push to get telegram taken offline comes after tech giants recently banned the social network parlor for hosting violent content that platform is popular with right wing americans the parlor ban along with other online purges appears to have given telegram a popularity boost they reportedly picked up $25000000.00 new users in the span 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 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 parler 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 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 common 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 planned 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 bug 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. 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 art is 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 docs in 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 state is complete their cells in california have called for a temporary halt to the vaccine from the pharma giant known as madonna the stated reason a higher than usual number of adverse effects all of the incidents are reported to have taken place at a single community clinic in california the site was closed down for several hours after the adverse reactions happened is switched to another batch of the drug and currently medina 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 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 well that is the casual

connection there are 13 deaths that have been assessed and we are aware of one of 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 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 infectious diseases 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 olympic reactions the last number i saw from the c.d.c. was 11 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 d. it that their church of vaccines report of adverse reactions gives pause to some people but i think by and large 'd 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 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 a 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 call it a virus. can cause death and most people are mission but there are clear signals here of associations between medium. affecting the lungs affecting the heart affecting the liver and also the kidneys we need to get better seeing in stratifying who are the people that we need to ideally we need

converse attention if we have it we need to make sure that we treat underlying conditions and will want to treat these people to see if they develop and if they do develop for example diabetes or kidney disease we need to do more research to see how that 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 capital riot artist margaret stamp her 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 model 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 story sure but it is the current president who got the votes of almost $75000000.00 americans as well as his supporters was stripped of a fundamental right freedom of speech that 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 angle 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 sign but 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 2000 revolutions where they painted those who stormed parliaments and marched on government offices 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 a sovereign affairs everywhere washington has called participants on all trace

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 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 the 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 and francis self centering on religious issues a survey show that the holocaust and evolution are among the most contentious topics we spoke to a history teacher kevin who says that teaching has become in mine field. more so we obviously affected by this problem because i personally teach in a department that is 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 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 and deeply anti is zionist position we consciously criticize and we can't teach the curriculum 2 of them. this comes 3 months after the killing of a school teacher samuel party who died in an islamist attack last year after showing caricature of the prophet mohammad and a lesson on freedom of expression. on the inside one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compassion he was the victim of an islamist terror attack. the killing was followed by a crackdown by the french authorities including brains on mosques private islamic schools and charities president has also repeatedly vowed to protect the french

model of free speech but some of his statements have been labeled as discriminatory and by muslim world leaders. 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'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 fear of stigmatising this part of society out of fear if stigmatize asian we pass on the problem of fighting radical islam. we had with some news in brief from around the world that europe's most active volcano has put on a striking display as what lava lit up the night sky in thessaly time 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 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 including larry king martin luther king jr and even burger king. and they loggerhead sea turtle named connor is finally returning to his natural habitat after being rescued from

a canal in september a reptile was found in a poor condition and underwent months of care and i florida rehab center he was fitted with a tracking device and his adventures can be tracked online as part of the turtle conservation and research program. that's been our rob up of the day's top news and that's all for me as well today we're not you know neal will be here with your global news update at the top of the hour next to me and. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one from day shouldn't let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

some rumors as soon as you. know i'm chris mccomb you may. remember if you just don't stand for what i believe if you care that oh. i'm talking about is a very international community. meeting you 3 we're going to. leave this to the cubans who keep it as the slow slow slow you. know the pollution that they were used to look at the brazil through their nuclear. is everything produced polluted with the forms of t.v. with. the. 5 they have i would have mexico but i decided not to take physics why.
