germany. strength. nationwide the country steps up its fight against the. neighboring local. scene shortage is just the goal said we speak. and this is just a joke we have to get the vaccine. officials in california warned against using a large. wave of allergic reaction. joe

biden's an alteration doesn't. hold. extremist. 1 in the morning here in moscow time to go through the day's big stories my names you know neal your company. germany is to tighten and extend its current. nationwide amid spiking infection rates chancellor merkel manta regional heads on choose the evening to work out the latest battle plan against the pandemic but the decision comes amid rising public. towards locked on. with our latest. this was a long discussion between chancellor angela merkel and the leaders of germany 16

states to try and work out what they were going to do about the corona virus pandemic this meeting had been scheduled for the 25th of january but it was brought forward due to some serious figures coming out when it came to numbers of infections and numbers of people in germany that have died with the coronavirus what we know from this meeting is that lockdown measures that are in place here in germany will be extended through until the 14th of february also private gatherings will be limited to one of the person from a household other than your own medical masks will have to continue to be worn on public transport in shops here specific f.p. to masks very very strong masks they will have to be worn by care home staff when it comes to them dealing with patients until all patients in those care homes have had both jobs of the vaccine against the virus schools and kindergartens

they'll also be closed down until the 14th of february this was we understand one of the big sticking points between angela merkel and the leaders of the local government and people are encouraged to work from home where ever it is possible we also heard from the german chancellor saying how there was real concern when it came to new mutated variants of the covert 19 virus and that something we've heard expressed by the health minister of germany yen spawn just recently as well. this mutation is 1st and foremost transmissible than others transmission means more seriously ill people that's why limiting contact and continuing to bring down infection numbers is so important. when it comes to sticking to the rules that are being put in place germans are pretty much on side but when it comes to toughening

those measures not so much the most recent poll showed that only 28 percent of germans would opt for increasing toughening the covert measures they were put in place upon them that's a drop of 21 percent on the previous poll it being taken the politicians are also split in knowing what course of action is best for the country if there are only vaccinated people in the restaurants or cinema they can no longer in danger each other as long as it's not clear whether a vaccinated person can transmit the virus they can be no exceptions i would consider a curfew after 8 pm to be justified i reject nationwide curfews on principle the vaccine has also been discussed chancellor merkel said that she'll be speaking to leaders on thursday about the century we're all for one and one for all vaccine program that brussels has put forward and is carrying out at the moment there has been a lot of criticism of the way it's been handled here in germany with the health ministry

coming under fire for the slow roll out what we have seen is really quite ambitious proposal being put forward by germany saying that all people in germany who want a vaccine will be offered warm by the end of the summer now that is a colossal undertaking when you think about at the moment just around 1100000 doses of the vaccine of been handed out with only just over one percent of the population having received both doses that are needed to ensure a successful vaccination against covert 19. peter all over it while the head of the world health organization has warned of an impending disaster due to on equal distribution of covert vaccines he's described as quote a catastrophic moral failure 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 equitable axis is at serious risk. more than 79000000 doses of vaccine have now been. in at least 49 higher income countries. just 25 daughters 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. the vaccination campaign in france has come under fire from regional mirrors they say there aren't enough doses to go round 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 more than twice that number by late february but so far the figure stones are 140-0000 responding to the delays the government has promised over half a 1000000 doses a week from monday we spoke to the mayor of a parser. you begin to understand that everything is built on improvise ation we have to admit that in fact we are responsible for everything from aids is a 1st for the completely chaotic recording process as well as for the mobilization

of doctors medical staff the organization of all the logistical process is up to the orders for syringes and cotton wool but the main thing and this is just a joke of the day we have to go and get the vaccine ourselves there is no delivery my myself as man drove my own around ozai car to the hospital for $25.00 doses of the vaccine obviously everything is built on improvise ation it would be ridiculous if people's lives were not at 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. 24 hours from now america will 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. the reasons of national guard troops were bussed into the city at the start of the

week in what really is an extraordinary security presence a total of $25000.00 personnel will be keeping order in d.c. an organization in the wake of the capitol hill riots intelligence services are bracing for trouble. with this our ears have been set up across the city. and the f.b.i. is vetting old security personnel and made concerns of an insider attack officials announcing just hours ago in fact that 12 national guard troops had been removed from related to be integration 2 of them for possible links to the right wing extremist groups. is in washington following the buildup. 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 nonracial 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 secure. reasons but that's really the case here bus loads of them coming in over the last couple days but anyway i went through one of the checkpoints had to show my id had to show my media badge had a bag 9 on me then check it but presumably as we get closer to wednesday the security is going to intensify sold ready very intense is going to be ratcheted up i could

tell you this over the weekend i went for a walk in the area saw drones overhead a lot of convoys vehicles going throughout the city with sirens on basically a show of force that's expected to continue all this as now we hear that the f.b.i. and the army are looking at the backgrounds of national guard members to ensure that there are no warning signs or no flags that there is nobody within their ranks that could possibly try to incite any violence so just think about that for a 2nd the army and f.b.i. looking at basically their own army looking at their own people to ensure that there'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. particularly are of u.s. army captain roger hill and the ses the additional vetting of troops is on warrant it. 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 so why the loss of trust in that oath at this point in time. let's move from the east to the west coast of america where the corona virus pandemic continues to run page indeed across the u.s. but concentrating on california which has become the 1st state the top 3000000 cases that has tripled the number of infections compared to just 2 months ago hospitals in america's most populous state are struggling to cope with the 10s of thousands of covered patients require medical care california has placed its hopes

on vaccination with more than a 1000000 people getting the jobs so far however no it's everything is going to play as artie's kill it market 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 rising take the u.s. state of california fewer than 10 individuals required medical attention over the span of 24 hours we are recommending that provide its use of that and they will build accident density and pulls the administration of vaccines and field investigation by the centers for disease control and prevention food and drug administration but they're not and the state is complete this is 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 the diverse affects all of the and students 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 and that is the casual connection there are 13 deaths that have been assessed and we are aware of of the 16 deaths that's a currently being assessed all deaths of those 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. to meet political pressure as they said to be sued for failing to remove the telegram messaging app from its store we look at the realm of fake ations of such a move in and stay with. social

media platforms today function as the public square key to almost everything we do when society the same plot please continue to keep talking to you essentially disappear you should private companies have that kind of power is it tough. to get . one else to show seemed wrong rowles just don't call. me old but yet to shape out just being active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to get off of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. look in up all is pressure to the increasingly popular messaging up telegram a pressure group is suing the tech giant for feeling true remove telegram from its store claiming the service is being used to spread extremist content telegram currently serves is the preferred neo nazi white nationalist communications channel fanning anti semitic an anti black incitement during the current wave of protests across america. you know that statement comes from the

coalition for a safer web which 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 bombed the social network partner for hosting violent content the platform is popular with conservative americans. well the parlor along with other online purges appears to have given telegram a popularity boost it reportedly picked up $25000000.00 new users in the space of 72 hours that brings its total user base to more than a 1000000000 among them the leaders of at least 10 countries earlier i discussed efforts to topple telegram a puddle of gas. 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 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 is to consolidate all media and information platforms that to make sure that they're completely in compliance with the you know party messaging the modern leading this lawsuit is marc ginsberg a former u.s. ambassador he's claiming the semitic content on telegram puts him in perl as a jewish person and calls his emotional distress do you think there's any merit to his case there's no merit at all to this case again this case is going against it's trying to utilize the law to go against the 1st amendment that's the freedom of

assembly it's trying to limit the freedom of speech is trying to limit that and while these are private companies there are still people that are able to or are able to create and able to do that i don't see it does either legal any legal theory where they can prevail in this lawsuit there's so much trouble stubble standard here i mean there's 5 months that is caught constantly paraded around twitter and facebook these apps these platforms that are notorious for left 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 a concerted fight to keep that independence i would say that big tech is is feeling pretty safe and comfortable right now which is why they're taking so many actions against their competitors because i think they know at the end of the day that biden administration is going to be very friendly with them because they say they toe the same party line. the leader of russia's parliament has accused the authorities in the u.s. of using this month's chaos and more sinton to crack down on free speech here's our senior correspondent rob goes to. 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 mazel 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 year story sure but he did the current president who got the votes of almost 75000000 american mice 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 angler 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 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 has actively and happily excluded good 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 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 alike what happened on capitol hill happens in russia. a lot of people talking about this next story 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 secondary school history 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 we consciously criticized we can't teach the curriculum 2 of them. well this comes 3 months after the killing of schoolteachers some your party was beheaded by an islamist extremist after showing caricatures of the prophet muhammad during a lesson on freedom of expression. i know one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compassion it was

the victim of an islamist terror attack. the murder was followed by a crackdown by french authorities including raids on mosques and charities accused of promoting radical islam president mike kroll has repeatedly followed her protect the french model of free speech but history teacher kevin and goose way again thinks the government could do 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 it 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 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 how to fit if stigmatize ation we pass on the problem of fighting radical islam. europe's most active volcano munt has put on a striking display as molten lava up the night sky in sicily this week volcanic ash was blown. up to 4000 meters into the year italian authorities have issued an ash advisory sewer lines it is the latest in a series of options in recent months nobody was injured in the ocean.
