thank you for. destroying. restrictions eased in the russian capital as. we hear from some of those who got the job. i want to get vaccinated against the coronavirus i'm afraid of. dangers for me as a single because the disease if. we can just be a free. country for the supply problems in europe and north america and some of the us having to travel to neighboring states just to get inoculated. the president. will be able to go back to university part time they took to the streets of paris
5:01 am
and the government is doing little to ease the strain of you hear a firsthand account. there's a kind of shame. very good afternoon thanks for joining us here on r.t. international. nurseries colleges in museums they'll all now be open to moscow residents as of today this is after the decided to ease coronavirus restrictions in the russian capital after there's been a steady dropping cases. 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
5:02 am
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 being 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
5:03 am
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 the sand bar russian president vladimir putin announced
5:04 am
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 jab while a shopping 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 if you 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. first of all is dangerous for me as
5:05 am
a single because the disease effects will kill abilities and the scores 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 sputnik the vaccine is being given the green line to more countries with hungry breaking ranks to become the 1st e.u. country to bridge to the job and sign a shipment deal with russia the u.a.e. is also proved to shop for emergency use the. head of russia's direct investment fund which is behind the global rollout has been easy because of the bt i spoke to r.t. . almost there but 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
5:06 am
highlight a few crucial points firstly the decision was made after sputnik was registered in more than 10 other countries it was based not only on clinical trials in russia but also on 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 the important news that hungry has become the 1st state of the european union to register the speed with the vaccine so we can see that it's being approved not only in the middle east latin america africa and asia but also in europe. a host of vaccines are being rolled out around the world to combat the pandemic each of them with the pros and cons it's the cons though that are weighing on people's minds in europe canada and america countries that are up to for the pfizer drug the main problem right now is simply getting hold of enough doses i guess the effects of the story what was supposed to be an orderly vaccination across the western world is turning into
5:07 am
a debacle supply of the desperately needed vaccines is suing to a drip in europe and kavitha 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 cannot be slowed down especially for given the 2nd doses to the many talents who are already received the 1st phase or has decided that 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 tally and angry ready 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 immediately called the c.e.o.
5:08 am
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 much of the world the plant in the united states for now is solely 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 move that said in this race against their 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 of vaccine we will have
5:09 am
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 fooling the dwindling number of duces of 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 that scene tourism so americans all over the country indeed even canadians a driving to states where vaccines are available to get the shot florida for
5:10 am
example we know right now based on. our record from the beginning and if i think i know you and i we had a real problem last week we tried to get last week. when the traffic was on or on when we couldn't even get close to the site last week but they did it just 1st come 1st serve it's been a fiasco from the get go from day one of the pandemic remember when it all started out allies jumped to very each other to buy up all the mosques and ventilators and even neighbors with nothing and they boosted about buying up billions of duces of vaccines which hadn't even been produced again and 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 this is

a temporary turn to the cemetery a local crime a tourist but out of service since april cemeteries are overwhelmed by covert victims of the weeklies infection rate appears to be slowing the country remains one of the hardest hit in europe and registers around $500.00 deaths per day. french president among your micron has addressed students in the country about ongoing coronavirus restrictions and is promised that they will soon be able to return to university at least on a part time basis you know a student should have the same rights and the same needs as an employee and if he or she needs it's a student should have the possibility to return to university in person once a week and this comes after students took to the streets of paris demanding help from the government over the pandemic many say the government's doing little to ease the psychological strain of lockdown to show the dubious spoke to one of the students. this is emma she's a 21 year old masters student in paris her dream is to become
5:12 am
a history teacher but like students across france and even the world the kovi depend demick has turned life upside down and inside out in october there was their governor in this aging that every university would because. then i just paid up my place and i was remotely earning for the world semester i won perspectives and also having the sitting that. some of the best years of my life wasted i have some friends that are really strong handyman but they don't call tell me too much about this there's a kind of shame of not being able to eat properly those concerns have been heard by the president my corn says he look to ensure universities provide daily 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
5:13 am
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 or from the cramped cell like
5:14 am
sizes of the student accommodation like a prison for me and i mean i like to talk argument i have chosen to that bergman but i'm not sure i really am. well to stay into south argument after christmas because there isn't like so much memories that are in the get evening to this place it's not that easy and i come for peace for more let's say certain years then i have a brain because i don't see anyone. i can't go outside that measure because there is not so much activity outside sometimes i'm ashamed of my country i am in the where and friends where are supposed to be a rich country and where in that event he will talk of our students in this situation i think the best for me next year if the situation is the same. during a gap here and then go back to amazed it is my normal cities there is help for
5:15 am
those feeling that the weight of the pandemic 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 emma 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 teachers 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 r.t. paris. a new report on france's colonial past in algeria has
5:16 am
failed to recommend any official apology for atrocities committed head of its publication president micron ruled out saying sorry but it does propose something of memories untruth. mission and 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 rule in algeria and the war of independence in particular a fierce the disputed by these 2 countries that conflict lasted for 8 years it ended in 1960 but it cost the lives of some one and a half 1000000 algerians rikon stance on the issue of french atrocities in algeria used to be different 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 it's genuinely barbaric and it is part of the past which we must confront including by apologizing to those against whom we committed these acts yes people in both countries what they think about france's refusal to
5:17 am
apologize. apologise and not enough moreover the time hopwood will jury and people were killed by colonialism we must not lie to each other. france 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 . plus our diplomacy is weak and our power is also weak historical troops remain hidden we want to know our real story to prove to the world that france has committed crimes in algeria. only 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 rules here. of course france should have apologized we must recognize that we committed
5:18 am
a great wrong over several generations so one apology is still necessary but not sufficient to do this and also both but i don't think france should apologize for the colonization of algeria after the evian accords france with a jew 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. today new polls found that over half of americans believe domestic enemies pose the biggest threat to the country that story maupin after the break. seemed wrong. just don't call. me. yet to shape out to stay active. and engaged equals betrayal.
5:19 am
when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. i think this is a 3rd of ministration we've been doing this show for going on 12 years anyway you know a big steaming $22026.00 team was dollars they should do globalisation and now it's all coming to. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.
5:20 am
amid ongoing division in the u.s. the democrats wasted no time in what they call a war on domestic terrorism critics have said though that the policies only trying to quash old tentative views public and senator lindsey graham has argued that donald trump's legacy cannot simply be iraq. if you're wanting to race donald trump from the party you're going to get a race that members of the biden team are now moving and laser like fashion to try to uncover as much they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements that we've seen over sea that focus on internal threats seems to be resonating with the population with more than half of americans thinking domestic enemies pose the biggest threat to their way of life 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
5:21 am
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 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
5:22 am
black lives matter type folke. the starbucks in the my office was burned out we had violence last night in portland in seattle again not 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 what to 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 d. platform you we're going to get you fired from your job are going to get you kicked out of the vents 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 electricity of a group like parlor and those are normal behaviors in a civilized society in a democratic society in
5:23 am
a side that values free speach. in the 1st hours of joe biden's presidency amazon sparked outrage online for what critics called a delay in an offer to help distribute coded vaccines the company has written a letter to biden offering assistance apparently leaving a number of trump administration 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 when we have asked amazon for comments they've yet to respond but a spokesperson for the company said the suggestion that they waited to offer assistance for political reasons is simply wrong adding they did meet with trump officials to offer assistance 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
5:24 am
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 amazones certainly are for to help the biden administration with the rollout of the vaccine because orangemen baton was more important than caring for fellow americans after a pink earlier this month there are almost 200000 new cases reported on thursday joe biden a certain ambitious goal of vaccinating 100000000 americans in his 1st 100 days in office he spoke to political come to chadwick more he believes amazon has benefited from the pandemic. if that's credible that amazon had been secretly working with the trump ministration good for them but of course the fact that they wait to
5:25 am
announce it and you know i think that the question there would be how long had they been working with the trumpet ministration you know certainly if it was before the election you know and then they wait so still 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 the to the country that has made them so badly run rate while the by the way the lock down has made amazon incredibly wealthy ok so amazon profited so much out that virus so they waited until after biden's who sort of make a move on this so it just seemed suspicious that amazon even if they were working with the trump of mr a shouldn't previously and i imagine they would have to that some sort of role previously and do to sort of ramp up or whatever massive action they're planning to take to help with the distribution so tuning in to wanting to nationalise often even cutting jaclyn think it will behave with the latest headlines at the top down
5:26 am
. taste awful like absolutely awful 1st then a 2nd wave coming now the virus is mutating i'd walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused as to how to give not. meanwhile patients who recovered from covert started to report some unusual aftereffects the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think. it's one of those things are at play research is all over the world are trying to determine the many takes pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers showing my hair. 1113 there this is throughout the day my hair just. various reports that
5:27 am
didn't just leave a 35 percent of recovered patients. there have been many complaints of heroin vision loss joint pain and fatigue in the us these patients are referred to as post coded long holos i talked to multiple doctors in my doctor and they said we have a feeling that you're going to have a hard time in recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider a long haul or. is your media a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. the isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being

5:29 am
in washington coming up the new biden ministration is getting to work and wall street is on a high but how long will that last with jobless claims still above $900000.00 will discuss plus labia majora growth in 2020 and the trend could continue with political officials as former president trump revoke his only rule on his way out the door. china's top telecom companies are calling on the new their stock exchange to reverse a plan to ban them from trading in u.s. market the request comes just hours after biden takes office we have a lot to get to so let's get started. the north stream to pipeline could be hitting yet another roadblock lawmakers in the european union are now considering dropping their support for the project following the arrest of activists alexina vonn the and moscow the proposed resolution aims to halt construction of the pipeline stretching from russia germany which is now 94 percent completed and it calls on
5:30 am
the e.u. to review its relationship with moscow based all on of all news case german chancellor angela merkel said the arrest of the activist which was highly anticipated after he was accused of violating his probation has not changed her support for the pipeline as for the ongoing threats of u.s. sanctions merkel said she is still waiting to talk it all out with the new biden ministration within the 2 dismissed and of course we will talk about this with the new american administration because this is a very critically across party lines in the united states of america and is also viewed from. in parts of europe but we must talk about what economic relationships with russia in the gas sector are acceptable and what are and. speaking of relations between europe and russia hungary just became a 1st.
