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 shins 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 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. 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. . the head of the world health organization has warned of impending disaster to 2 all equal distribution of covert vaccines he's described as 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
3:05 pm
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 are just to speak of another country for the vaccination campaign has come under fire from regional mirrors they say there aren't enough doses to go around on 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
3:06 pm
aiming to vaccinate a 1000000 people by the end of the month and more than twice the number by late february but so far the figure stands at around 400000 responding to these 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 logistical prices is up to the orders for syringes and cotton wool but the main thing and this is just a joke of the day we have to go and get the vaccine ourselves there's no delivery my myself 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
3:07 pm
lives were not stake as well as other serious issues such as the possibility for a country finally getting out of this crisis and returning to something similar to normal life and economic prosperity. less than 24 hours from america we'll have a new president joe biden is said to be an organ rated as the 46th u.s. leader on wednesday a must have security operation is underway in washington d.c. thousands of national guard troops were bussed into the city at the start of the week and in what is an extraordinary security presence really a total of $25000.00 personnel will be keeping order in d.c. through a total aeration day in the wake of the capitol hill riots and television services are bracing for trouble from pro trump activists our ears have been set up of course. and the f.b.i. is vetting all security personnel amid concerns of an insider attack officials have
3:08 pm
just announced that 12 national guard troops are being removed from 2 things related to the inauguration 2 of them for possible links to right wing extremist groups john hardy is in washington and he's been following the build up. so we're at the corner 14th street and street just just down the just south of here is a man. national mall so basically all of this area has been shut down the streets the bridges the tunnels as we get closer to on the ration day and the fencing that you see behind me right there this is throughout the area basically every street has this fencing up and if you follow me as i walk out on the street there are no vehicles only security vehicles only police vehicles but just over my shoulder here as you look south you see the concrete barriers and then you see a white tent well in order to get through into this area you have to go through various checkpoints along the way on the major surface roads here on the major
3:09 pm
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
3:10 pm
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's no there's no one within the ranks that are going to create a problem 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. earlier we spoke to former u.s. army captain roger hill who sees 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 and 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
3:11 pm
so why the loss of trust in that at this point in time. and let's move the program all now up all is under pressure to bomb the increasingly popular messaging up 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 extrusion the content telegram currently serves is the preferred see white nationalist communications channel fanning anti semitic and anti black incitement during the current wave of protests across america the coalition for a safer web claims telegram was used by the capitol hill rioters are violated guidelines the push to get telegram taken offline comes after tech giants recently banned the social network parlor for hosting violent content the platform is popular with conservative americans in the parlor along with other online purges
3:12 pm
appears to have given telegram a popularity boost it reportedly picked up $25000000.00 new users in the space of 3 days that brings its total user base to more than half a 1000000000 among them the leaders of at least 10 countries earlier i discussed efforts to topple telegram with the panel of guest. 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 and democratic machinery to consolidate media in the hands of approved democratic party apparatus
3:13 pm
has 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
3:14 pm
twitter and facebook these apps these platforms that are notorious for left wing threats and for inciting violence on platforms like facebook there have been murders rapes and suicides lifestream g.-mail was infamous when it was being used by islamic terrorists to actually plan attacks by. going into drafts and not actually sending messages this isn't about protecting anyone's safety or emotional wellbeing this is about big tech trying to control the public discourse could this come back to bite the liberal side of the us when the conservative side have more of a say maybe in 4 years down the line they're not going to let this lie there could be a buy back just depends on whoever controls the reins whoever has the power at some point that pendulum is going to shift i think now we're seeing a greater danger than we thought before because if 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
3:15 pm
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. 1115 here in moscow we keep the news rolling in the seconds from not hope to syria.

with california becoming the 1st state to help 3000000 cases triple the number of infections compared to just 2 months ago hospitals in america's most populous states are struggling to cope with the 10s 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 and 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 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
3:18 pm
not and the state is complete there's holes 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 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 or that or use
3:19 pm
a 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 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 salem oppen r.t.

3:21 pm
the current president who got the votes of almost 75000000 americans as well as his supporters was 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 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 a muzzling an elected president no less the this is a worrying side and 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 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 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. here to a story about shock quite a few people today almost half of school teachers in france are self centering on
3:24 pm
religious issues according to a new poll the holocaust and evolution are among the most contentious topics we spoke to a secondary school teacher who says his job has become a minefield. also so we also see affected by this problem because 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 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 because lee criticized we can't teach the curriculum 2 of them. well this comes 3 months after the killing of a schoolteacher sami while he was be headed by an islamist extremist after showing

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 own 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 the hijab for young girls under this law but the president did not want to do this for a fair of stigmatizing this part of society how to fit if stigmatize ation we pass on the problem of fighting radical islam. europe's most active volcano munt
