in the day's headlines pfizer slash of deliveries of its coated vaccine in europe and north america production though is prompting threats of legal action from the bully and poland. also this hour serbia enters talks with russia to start its own production of the sputnik the jab we hear from a renowned serbian film director who decided he would take a shot if you could just me as i was told by someone who. is the one though doing. the same stuff to save the troops. and present mccrone promises that students will be able to go back to university

a part time after a wave of protests we hear from french undergraduates about the impact of campus closures where supposed to be a rich country and where and that's when we have all of our students. welcome to the program and a happy friday to you all this is our 2 international bring you your live news update this hour. the polish government has threatened to sue the u.s. pharmaceutical giant pfizer for pulling received only how the promised doses of the company's coming back this week. i think that the decision could be made next month if the supplies are not delivered in accordance with the manufacturer's declaration italy is also considering filing a lawsuit against pfizer after a delay in vaccine shipments at a time when mortality rates are again surging in the city of palermo hundreds of coffins of coated victims are awaiting burial at cemeteries severe shortages of the

jobs are being seen across europe and north america where i got to pick 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 a drip in europe and kavitha and states are collaborating to get their 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 or has decided that the 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. 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 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 from put 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 for the states and fooling the dwindling number of duces of being delivered. the bottom line is that we don't have enough of 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 wall over the country indeed even canadians a driving to states where vaccines are available to get the shot florida for example we know right now based on. our reservation have been to me and it's very late and i think i i we had a real problem last week with trying to get last week. when the traffic was a horror when we could even get close to the site last week but they did just 1st come 1st serve it's been a fiasco from the get go from day one of the pandemic limbo when it all started out 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 believe in poorest states with

nothing and now that they hear there's not enough for everyone. there are serious colleges and museums are reopening and moscow starting today that's after the mayor decided to ease coronavirus restrictions in the russian capital after a study of troponin cases r.t. is constantly of have the details. it is safe to say that the news has been long awaited by moscow residents about d.n.a. 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 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 unchanged anyway this indeed is the most significant relaxation of the lockdown since last autumn moscow mayor sergey said on inside it 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 spirit of coded 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 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 the 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 a single 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. hungary has become the 1st e.u.

member state to strike a supply deal with russia for sputnik 3 the country's foreign minister said that hungary will receive up to $2000000.00 doses that comes a month after neighboring serbia started taking deliveries of sputnik me the 1st doses were administered in early january elbot great is in talks to start domestic production around serbian film director america's story gave us his views on the russian jab. i'm very happy to be. exposed to the possibility to get. a russian vaccine because it's may as i was told by some of the prominent serbian doctors is one of those that he used to receive the same style and the same rules that i was thinking years old the idea of getting bucks ian who was always counting on some percentage that people are not going to react positively but a majority of the people who grow up salute received by so that's an axiom is

a continuation of the history when i say i want russian moxie it's an ideological i didn't strike a ship everything is becoming about politics today whatever you do it the same is with books so let's hope russian job will be in the future since it's a continuation of production a russian side that is going to be much more spread that you believed before it starts the french president has promised extra support for students after an outcry over campus closures due to the pandemic and i know micron said they'll be able to return to class part time you know the student should have the same rights and the same needs is 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. this fall student unrest in paris over the brutal impact of months long

restrictions aside from being confined to their accommodations many have been left with no means of funding their studies and the strain is taking its toll as artificial devinsky found out. 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 coach has turned life upside down and inside out you know there was the governor and this idea that every university would be closed. then i just stayed at my place and dream of caring for the world so mr i want perspective and also having the fitting that some of the best years of my life wasted i have some friends that are really strong handymen but they don't all told me too much about this there's a kind of shame of not being able to properly those concerns have been

heard by the president says he look to ensure universities provide daily meals price to $1.00 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 and i mean i like to talk argument i have chosen to that bergman but i'm not sure i really be able to stay into sub argument after christmas because there is no 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 supposed to be a rich country and where in that event able to of our citizens in this situation i

think the best for me next year if the situation is the same. during a gap year and then go back to my studies my normal cities there is help for 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 even ski r.t. paris. still had more than half of americans believe domestic enemies pose the biggest threat to the country according to a new poll details on that story and more after this break.

if you take 2 good quotes of these what he says my grandfather was just about particularly good but who do you good well who make one a little bit higher you wait a little bit. and then come back and look at them then looks they don't indicate the same time because there's more time up here that time down there. welcome back a report commissioned by the french government on the country's colonial past and algeria has acknowledged historical wrongdoing but stopped short of recommending an

official apology out of its publication present emanuel mccrone said paris has no intention of saying sorry the report proposes setting up a memories and truth commission and changing the way colonial history is taught in schools although it fails to look at allegations of systemic torture by the french authorities in algeria many aspects of french role in algeria and of the war of independence in particular are fiercely disputed by the 2 countries that conflict lasted 8 years and in 1962 it cost the lives of some 1500000 algerians over on stands on the issue of french atrocities in algeria used to be very 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 is genuinely barbaric and it is part of the past which we must confront including by apologizing to those against whom we committed these acts. we ask people in both countries what they think about france's refusal to

apologize. human should apologise and not enough moreover the time half of the 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 . 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 france has committed crimes in algeria all of 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 a great wrong over several generations so one apology is still necessary but not

sufficient it is a loss of both but i don't think france should apologize for the collision 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. former cia director john brennan is claiming the body in the administration is planning some drastic action against the more radical trump loyalists it's an idea that's alarmed republicans the 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 over see if your warning to raise donald trump from the party you're going to get a raised. that focus on internal threats seems to be resonating among the population with more than half of americans saying domestic enemies pose the

biggest threat to their way of life according to a new poll and just 8 percent think the biggest danger comes from overseas we discussed the issue with our 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 ponchos line 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 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 deep platform you we're going to get you fired from your job we're going to get you kicked out of the vents dare idea. if 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 a side that values free speech amazon is offering to help the new u.s. administration speed up its vaccine rollout the proposal from the retail and tech giant came just hours after joe biden moved into the white house 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 19 and we stand ready to assist you in this effort we asked amazon to comment on the timing of that letter however an amazon spokesperson has said that the suggestion that they waited to offer assistance for political reasons is simply wrong adding that they did meet with trump officials to offer assistance but this has not been enough to convince

the online community or some politicians the drug companies have the vaccine they knew it was going to work days before the election but amazon stilling is pretty disgusting if in fact they could have helped the truck that 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 suddenly offered to help the biden administration with the rollout of the vaccine because orangemen data was more important than caring for fellow americans. after a peak earlier this month there were almost 200000 new chrono virus cases reported in the u.s. on thursday it's up to political commentator chadwick moore who has more questions about the timing of that letter if that's 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 and you know i think 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 till 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 put this in 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 buyers so they waited until after biden who sort of make a move on this so it just seems suspicious that amazon even if they were working 'd with a trip to mr ation previously and i imagine they would have to that some sort of role previously they do to sort of ramp up or whatever massive action they're planning to take to help with the distribution as it is wrap up for this hour

thanks for tuning in having a maybe. defenders of big tech often exclaim if you don't like their platforms think you're wrong well on this edition of crossfire we talked with some interesting individuals just against all the odds. some rumors are. true. those who just don't. feel that a. very international community.

you just. need to. push them at their work. is everything. to do with. decided to take his place. with you. welcome to visionaries. that time the most unknown of

all and no thanks to talk about mystery joined by professor got a load of any theoretical physicist and best selling author. professor carlotta of a lease erotically physicist and bestselling author it's great to have you with us today welcome to our show thank you very much for having me all right so let's start with something blunt you say there is no time in an objective sense of the term and correct me if i'm wrong and that time exists only in the i would be holder and depends on what that i wear the beholder is and what they're looking at but we do you feel and experience the passing of time or this sense of something being after something and here i am right i don't know grabbing of phone for instance right and putting it down it was in my hand now it isn't isn't that time yes that is time and of course there is time there is time for us

we wake up in the morning we go to sleep time passes we become older that's real. what when i say there is no time and what i mean is that these no time in nature by itself in the fundamental level let me make an example. if i see. the sun does not move. it still does not move it does not mean that there is no sunset anymore we still see the sun going up and going down and going up and going down. but we understand us in the sun we are sitting on a big rock which is spinning so from our perspective we see the sun moving still the movement of the sun that we see is real but is not part of the sun alone and the same is about time time it's a more complicated story that what we usually think that's what physics has shown

that time is different than what we usually think so the time of our everyday life is not really in nature nature the kind of nature is more complicated. let me give you an example. suppose your clock. or watch. gives time and we all know that the the property of of clocks is as a they measure time for this is the same time for all of them if i look at them and they have the same time and i look again they're the same in time well actually if you measure precisely that's not too. good clocks not this one this is my grandfather watch is not particularly good but if you do good works we make one a little bit higher you wait a little bit and then come back and look at them they're not they don't indicate the same time because there's more time up here the time that.
