industry has been influencing very deeply the medical and scientific establishment . so what's driving the obesity epidemic it's call for profit. in moscow coronavirus frustrations are easing in the russian capital is the vaccination campaign against momentum we hear from some of those who got the job. i want to get vaccinated against the corona virus which i'm afraid of getting sick and dying it's dangerous for me as a single because the disease effects will kill abilities we can't just sit in school and be afraid waiting for everything to be foreign. countries that opted for the pfizer job to supply problems in europe and north america and us having to travel to neighboring states just to get inoculate. president promises that students will be able to go back to university park type stuff they took to the

streets of paris claiming the government is going to do little to ease the strain of lockdown we hear a 1st hand account and there is a kind of shame. not being able to properly. either thanks so much for joining us mid day here in the russian capital this is r.t. international. nurseries colleges and museums will now be open to moscow residents as of today after the match decided to ease coronavirus restrictions in the russian capital after there's been a steady drop in cases of these consenting adults as details. it is safe to say that the news has been long awaited by moscow residents but do you know who are especially excited now parents distance learning for school children which let's be

honest didn't sit well with a lot of work and parents is over it kids can go back to class again and you know this morning i was a passing by a school on the way to the studio and there were a lot of people comment and parents kids an early sign that the life in europe's largest capital is starting to get back to normal also sports and leisure facilities for children are allowed to reopen or return to regular working hours university students however will have to continue studying from home moscow's struggling entertainment industry will also feel so much needed relief to some extent at least sitting capacity in cinemas theaters and concert halls has been increased from 25 to 50 percent also museums public libraries in our galleries can't reopen there was however no easing up on nightlife with clubs bars and restaurants still been forced to shut down at 11 pm all company owners have to keep

at least a 3rd of their employees working remotely where possible that matter also remains unchanged anyway this indeed is the most significant relaxation of the lockdown since last autumn moscow mayor sergey sit down inside a positive statistics as one of the main reasons behind the move to lift restrictions russia's capital has seen a decline in reported daily infections and in cases requiring hospitalization and that is despite there being a week long national holiday just 12 days ago the spread of code 19 in moscow suggests cautious optimism last week daily recorded cases with between 200-4000 which is significantly less than at the end of december vaccination rates have increased significantly more than 220000. people in moscow have already received reliable protection from the virus the only number of people recovered from the corona virus in russia also exceeds the number of those got infected and that is

another positive sign in december russian president vladimir putin announced the start of the nationwide mass vaccination campaign it's already in full swing there are over a 1000000 people who have taken a job already and the number keeps growing according to the latest official statistics here in moscow inoculation points being set up across the city in addition to regular hospitals and we were filming in side an opera house the other day where they now administer shots but also you can get a job while a shop at a mall or grabbing a bite to eat at a food court so let's have a listen to the visitors of those of vaccination points. well like everyone i want to get vaccinated against a corona virus i'm afraid of getting sick and dying my friends were. some of them even died so i believe in science and medicine through want our lives to be as they were before we need to do something we can't just sit at home and be afraid waiting

for everything to be fine you have to do it 1st of all is dangerous for me as a scene because the disease effects will kill abilities and of course it also has a strong impact on the lungs which is not good of course it's too early to celebrate the further liftin of the matter is in moscow and the rest of the country will entirely depend on whether the positive trend that we're seeing now can continue. meanwhile russia spinning the vaccine is being given the green light to more countries with hungry breaking ranks to become the 1st e.u. country to register the job and sign a shipment deal with russia the united arab emirates is also approved to shop for emergencies made to be welcomed by the head of russia's direct investment fund which is behind the global rollout to put the capital dimitrov spoke to auntie. almost all this partnership means disputant vaccine will be available in the united arab emirates and that's very important not only for the u.a.e. and russia but for the entire middle east and the rest of the world i would like to

highlight a few crucial points firstly the decision was made after it was registered in more than 10 other countries it was placed not only in clinical trials in russia but also in data that the u.a.e. received from its own trolls was. secondly the tests have shown the high safety and efficacy of speech. today we received news that hungry has become the 1st state of the european union to register dispute with the vaccine so we can see that it's being accrued not only in the middle east latin america africa and asia but also in europe. a whole host of vaccines are being rolled out across the world to combat the pandemic each of them with their pros and cons is the cons they're weighing on people's minds in europe canada or in america countries that opted for the pfizer drug the main problem there right now is simply getting hold of enough doses of picks up the story what was supposed to be an orderly vaccination across the

western world is turning into a debacle supply of the desperately needed vaccines is suing to agree put in europe and the cabinet and states are collaborating to get that hands on the few deuces available. the health care of italian citizens is not a negotiable issue the vaccination campaign can not be slowed down especially for given the 2nd doses to the many talents who are already received the 1st phase it has decided to now is the best start to upgrade their european production plant which means for italy for example around 30 percent fewer deuces will be delivered in the foreseeable future italians are angry planning to sue pfizer these are people's lives we're talking about after all and it seems the corporate bosses they never even asked anyone and last friday we were all surprised by the

announcement of pfizer down biotech to have a delay a mediately called the c.e.o. of pfizer and i explained to him that it is of utmost importance that we get the doses that are fixed in the contract pfizer's european production plan supplies europe and canada and much of the world the plant in the united states for now is focused on satisfying america needs this is left canada literally begging its southern neighbor for a handout murmur mine american friends help us so we need help once again you have a new president no more excuses we need your support. unfortunately for canada things aren't rusian the southern side of the border either the highest number of infections in the world the most deaths and in this race against time they're losing we will have literally nothing left to give as of friday what does

that mean it means if we don't get more vaccine quickly our new supplier vaccine we will have to cancel appointments this is crazy this is not the way it should be we have the ability to vaccinate a huge number of people we need the vaccine to go with it. the way it's handled in the states is that the federal government every week ships out that scene quotas to various states trumpet boasted that they have millions in reserve but that may have been untrue according to various governors who say there's nothing left vaccine quotas the states are full of the dwindling number of duces a being delivered. the bottom line is that we don't have enough banks since it's a jewel problem we need more and we need to get them out more quickly it's soo bad that people have engaged in what's being called vaccine tourism so americans all over the country indeed even canadians

a driving to states where vaccines are available to get their shot florida for example we know right now based on. our reservation to me and it's very clear i know you and i we had a real problem last week we tried to get last week. when the traveling was on more and when we could get to get close to the site last week but they did just 1st come 1st. it's been a fiasco from the get go from day one of the pandemic remember when it all started our allies jumped to very each other to buy up all the mosques and ventilators leaving neighbors with nothing and they boosted about buying up billions of duces of vaccines which hadn't even been produced again leave in poorest states with nothing and now that they hear there's not enough for everyone

meanwhile in the italian city of palermo hundreds of coffins are awaiting burial in a temporary return to the cemetery the local criminal jury has been out of service since april cemeteries are simply overwhelmed by the number of covert victims although at least infection rate appears to be slowing the country is suffering maine's one of the hardest hit in europe registering around $500.00 deaths a day. french president among the micron is addressed students in the country about ongoing coronavirus restrictions and has promised that they will soon be able to return to university at least on a part time basis if you don't a student should have the same rights and the same needs is an employee and if he or she needs it as a student should have the possibility to return to university in person or once a week. comes out to students took to the streets of paris demanding help from the government over the pandemic money so the government's doing little to ease the psychological strain of lockdown. he spoke to one of the strong. this is

she's a 21 year old was a student in paris who dream is to become a history teacher but like students across france and even the world the co-moving dependent mic has turned life upside down and inside out in october there was the governor and this idea that every university would because then i just stayed at my place and i was remotely learning for the world said mr i one perspective and also having this sitting that some of the best years of my life wasted i have some friends that are really strong and demand that they don't call tell me too much about this there's a kind of shame of not being evolved to it properly those concerns have been heard by the president says he look to ensure universities provide the meals price to one euro a day it's a picture playing out across the higher education system in france and for some the

distress is manifesting in tragic ways one student threw himself out of a 4th floor window in little he remains in a critical condition another student was restrained off the threatening to do the same according to the observatory of student life a 3rd of france's 2700000 university students are suffering from depression anxiety and loneliness many also run the risk of dropping out and tells me she's had enough and now with other students they are taking action. universities are in limbo the government to suggested a limited number will be able to return to the lecture hall soon but for the

majority life will remain a constant cycle of online lessons and isolation all from the cramped cell like sizes of the student accommodation like a prison for me. i mean i like she thought partment i've chosen to that burden but i'm not sure i really be able to stay in the south argument after christmas because there is no like so much memories that are negative into this place it's not that easy and i come for peace for more than let's say certain years then i need to have a break because i don't see anyone. i can't go outside that measure because there's not so much activity outside sometimes i'm ashamed of my country i mean where friends were supposed to be a rich country and where in that event able to our citizens in this situation i think the best for me next year if the situation is the same we're. doing

a gap here and then go back to my street is my normal cities there is help for those feeling that the weight of the pun demick is too much one student union has taken to twitter to advertise where students can get help the health service says the number of people suffering from depression doubled between september and early november last year the majority of cases from those aged 18 to 24 the government is committed to increasing the number of psychologists available to help students must says she would benefit from speaking to a psychologist but there is a long wait the students we've spoken with are angry and despondent. they see 3 years they've been raising issues over their living conditions a lack of resources and teaches with the government and nothing was done they feel that this is a crisis that could have been avoided but instead they've been left high and dry

charlotte even ski r.t. paris. a new report on france's colonial past in algeria has failed to recommend any official apology for atrocities committed ahead of its publication president micron ruled out saying sorry but it does propose setting up a memories and truth commission in changing the way colonial history is taught in schools yet it fails to look at allegations of systemic torture in algeria many aspects of france's role in algeria and indeed the war independence in particular are fiercely disputed by the 2 countries that conflict lasted 8 years it ended in 1962 and it cost the lives of some one and a half 1000000 algerians micron stance on the issue of french atrocities in algeria used to be very different note or running for the presidency he promised to recognize them. colon a zation is a part of french history it is a crime is a crime against humanity is genuinely barbaric and it is part of the past which we

must confront it including by apologizing to those against whom we committed these acts. as people in both those countries what they think of france's refusal to apologize. splendid machine to apologise and not enough moreover the time hopwood will do in people were killed by colonialism we must not lie to each other. runts is a colonialist country and without colonialism france would not have succeeded france has committed genocide and war crimes from 832962 with over 10000000 victims. who have our diplomacy is weak and our power is also weak historical truths remain hidden we want to know our real story to prove to the world that france is committed crimes in algeria and i'm going to our history has already been falsified historians say a nation without a history is an ignorant one moreover through the history books we know that france

still rule here. of course france should have apologized we must recognize that we committed a great wrong over several generations so one apology is still necessary but not sufficient to do this and also prospected i don't think france should apologize for the collision of algeria after the evian accords france withdrew from algeria so from that moment on contracts were made between the 2 countries and it's not for a country to apologize for what was done in the past. which if you poll is found that over half of americans believe domestic enemies pose the biggest threat to the country that story about after the break.

defenders of big tech often exclaim if you don't like their platforms think build your own well on this edition of crossfire we talked with some interested individuals just against god's will they succeed.

amid the ongoing division in the u.s. democrats are wasting no time in what they call a war on domestic terrorism critics that said though that the party's only trying to quash alternative views public and senator lindsey graham has argued that trumps legacy cannot simply be a right if you're warning to a race donald trump from the party you're going to get a race that members of the biden team are now moving in laser like fashion to try to uncover as much they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements that we've seen overseas. why focus on internal threats seems to be resonating among the population with more than half of americans thinking domestic enemies pose the biggest threat to their way of life that's according to a new poll just 8 percent think the biggest danger comes from overseas we discussed the issue with a panel of guests. donald trump's followers who were participating in over $600.00

rallies and protests and events for the last 5 years without a hint of violence suddenly are called the violent terrorist wing of the trump supporting part of the republican party the number of people in anti foreign b.l.m. or about 7 percent of the democrat party the number of people who attacked the capitol if you are stipulate that that is indeed what happened is like point 003 percent of the republican party the idea that we need to predicate an entire national movement toward laser like focus on domestic terrorists is to me a giant joke but it's got a sad part because people are going to be made to suffer for that who had nothing to do with it and don't want that the trumpet ministration has been protecting the american people from violent groups both on the left and the right unfortunately i think part of it is it's biden is trying to politicize what has happened we have

had looting and violence in the throughout 2020 by black lives matter type folke. the starbucks in the my office was burned out we had violence last night in portland in seattle again done by people on the left side so i think it's unfortunately the new president trying to be political instead of actually focusing on whether it's be done you have right here that usual leftist belief which is unification it just means agree with us and if you don't agree with us we're going to deep platform you we're going to get you fired from your job are going to get you kicked out of events dare idea of unification just means agree with us or shut it it's not normal in a civilized society to try to get people fired who disagree with you politically as happened in google and and other big tech companies it's not normal for a tech backend processor to basically cut the elect. kristie of

a group like parlor and those are normal behaviors in a civilized society in a democratic society in a side that values free speech. in the 1st hours of joe biden's presidency amazon sparked outrage online for what critics have called a delay in an offer to help distribute covert vaccines the company has written a letter to joe biden offering assistance apparently leaving a number of trumpet ministration officials feeling left out we are prepared to leverage our operations information technology and communications capabilities and expertise to assist your administration's vaccination efforts our scale allows us to make a meaningful impact immediately in the fight against covert 19 and we stand ready to assist you in this effort we have asked amazon for comment and await their response but and i was a spokesperson said the suggestion they waited to offer assistance for political reasons is simply wrong adding they did meet with donald trump officials to offer assistance but this is not been enough to convince the online community or some

politicians that drug companies had the vaccine they knew it was going to work days before the election what amazon stilling is pretty disgusting if in fact they could have helped the traffic ministration amazon is now offering china joe help to get the vaccine out to america so in other words amazon chose to let americans die instead of doing this cheering the trump admin. obviously it's politics and optics over people shameful amazon suddenly offered to help the biden a ministration with the rollout of the vaccine because orangemen battle was more important than caring for fellow americans well after a peak earlier this month there were almost 200000 new cases reported on thursday joe biden said tonight basis skull of vaccinating 100000000 americans within just his 1st 100 days of office we spoke with political commentator chadwick moore who believes amazon has benefited from the pandemic if that credible that amazon had

been secretly working with the trump administration good for them but of course the fact that they wait to announce it you know i think that the question there would be how long had they been working with the transit ministration you know certainly if it was before the election you know and then they wait so til after the biden operation to announce it that's a little shady that seems like a big deal you know if they had just been always sort of planning to go behind the scenes and help with this and the kind of benevolent service to their the country that has made them so incredibly right while the by the way the lock down had made amazon incredibly wealthy ok and out of property did so much up its wires so they waited until after biden to sort of make a move on this so it just seemed suspicious that amazon even if they were working with the chamber mr ation previously and i imagine they would have had some sort of role previously they do to sort of ramp up for whatever massive action they're
