our lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle very real. struggle. politicians in germany are at loggerheads on the crisis says public support for tougher restrictions. and they bring the whole marriage spend their anger over vaccine shortages and logistical settlements we speak to the. main thing and this is just a joke of the day we have to go and get the vaccine ourselves. health officials in california warned against using a large bunch of. stuff for a wave of allergic reactions their. east coast washington d.c.

ramps up security ahead of joe biden's inauguration troops on checkpoints are reading. 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 nobody would be in the ranks that could possibly try to incite any violence. one minute past 8 pm here in moscow this tuesday december the 9th to welcome to our team my name's. german authorities are split over 100 to deal with new coronavirus strains and rising infection rates the country has already passed 48000 debts and public support for tougher measures house fall into our europe correspondent peter all of our picks up the story. 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 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 pull in different directions over restrictions it's clear from one poll that the public is becoming more fed up only 28 percent of the population are. 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. . meanwhile the head of the world health organization has warned of an impending disaster due to an equal distribution of covert vaccines he described it as quote a catastrophic moral failure we now face 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 equitable axis is at serious risk.

more than 79000000 doses of vaccine have now been. in at least 49 higher income countries. just 25 good years 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 of the vaccination campaign in france has come under fire from regional mirrors they say there aren't enough doses to go around on the rollout is riddled with the just the core problem. it saddens me to say 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 well these are the figures france is aiming to vaccinate a 1000000 people by the end of the month and more than twice that number 2 by late february so far though the figure stands at around 400 percent responding to the delays the government has promised over half a 1000000 doses a week from monday we spoke to the mayor of a participant. 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 the logistical prices 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 as man drove my own zoe car to the hospital for 25 doses of the vaccine

obviously everything is built on improvise ation it would be ridiculous if people's lives were not steak 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. now exactly 24 hours from now joe biden will be in oregon rated as the 46th u.s. president a must have security operation is underway right now in washington d.c. thousands of national guard troops were bussed into this city at the start of the week pretty astonishing total to hear $25000.00 personnel will be keeping order in d.c. throughout whedon's day well in the wake of the capitol hill riots intelligence services are bracing for trouble from from protracted us no checkpoints have been set up across the city v.f.p.

is betting all security personnel amid concerns of an insider attack r.t. america correspondent john hardy reports from washington. 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 an operation 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 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. john hardy earlier we spoke to former u.s. army captain roger hill hussein's the additional vetting of troops is on warranted 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. ok moving me program or no apple is under pressure to ban the increasingly popular messaging app telegram a campaign group is suing the tech giant for failing to remove telegram from its store claiming the service is being used to spread extremist content telegram currently is the preferred see white nationalist communications channel fanning anti 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 violated aapl guidelines the push to get telegram taken offline comes after tech giants recently bombed the social network parlor for hosting violent content that platform is popular with conservative americans now the parlor along with other

online purges appears to have given telegram popularity boost it reportedly picked up $25000000.00 users in the space of 3 days that brings its total user base to more than half a 1000000000 among them believe years of at least 10 countries including brazil turkey and fronts earlier i discussed efforts to topple a 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 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 any 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 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 these people had 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 run page across the u.s. with california the 1st state to top 3000000 cases that's triple the number of infections compared to just 2 months ago hospitals in america's most populous states are struggling to cope with command tens of thousands of covert patients require medical care california has placed its hopes on vaccination with more than a 1000000 people getting the job so far however not everything is going to. kill up in reports. 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 close the administration of vaccines until the investigation by the centers for disease control and prevention for. 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 and 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 at that or use 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 incidents so far is no 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 coded world finally emerging caleb oppen r.t. new york i also got some reaction from infectious disease specialist william schaffner who wants to see a thorough probe into the cluster of allergic reactions in california. we know that these m. oron a back scenes are associated with more allergic reactions the last number i saw from the c.d.c. was he leavens such reactions for every 1000000 doses so still rather rare but a grouping in one clinic that deserves further investigation did something

unusual happen in that clinic or was indeed it that vaccines reported 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. the leader of russia's parliament has accused the authorities in the us of cracking down on free speech in the wake of the capital riots artie's morocco's the picks up the 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 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 of almost 75000000 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 it 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 side and here the russians also pointed out the irony. 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. 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. almost half of school teachers in france are self censoring on religious issues according to a new poll the holocaust and evolution are among the most contentious topics we spoke to a history teacher who says that simply doing his job has become a minefield. also so we all must be affected by this problem because i personally teach in a department that is experiencing a serious increase in islam is a myth and where there is also a launch 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 that 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. well this comes 3 months after the killing of a schoolteacher some your party he was beheaded by an islamist extremist after showing caricatures of the prophet muhammad during a lesson on freedom of expression. on the inside one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compassion it was the victim of an islamist terrorist.

the murder was followed by a crack done by french authorities including raids on mosques on chara te's a clear east of promoting radical islam president has repeatedly valued to protect the french model of free speech but history teacher kevin bush way again thinks the government could do more. what the us and then more. 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 sébastien cuz immediately do. 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 fight 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 that 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 of stigmatize ation we pass on the problem of fighting radical islam. europe's most active volcano might put on a striking display as molten lava and that help a night sky in sicily volcanic ash was blown up to 4000 meters into the air italian authorities have issued an ash advisory to our lives it is the latest in a series of eruptions in recent months nobody was injured in the. cincinnati zoo has released its penguins not into the wild but to waddle among the visitors social distancing is in place though so this won't be able to get too close to their king

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 move his arms off and spearing dramatic development the only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days become educated and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
