delivered in accordance with the manufacturer's declaration. of poland well it clearly is also considering filing a lawsuit against pfizer after a delay in vaccine shipments out of time when more tell us the rates are again surging in the city of political here hundreds of coffins of covert victims are awaiting burial at a cemetery severe shortages of the job or being seen across europe while north america or senior correspondent 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 a drip in europe and canada and states are collaborating to get that i have and 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
1:03 pm
has decided 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 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 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
1:04 pm
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
1:05 pm
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 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 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 example we know right now based on. our reservation 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. that traveling was more on the way we could get to get close to the site last week but they did just 1st come
1:06 pm
1st serve 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. not just you have taken us through the hungry has become the 1st member state to strike a supply deal with russia for sputnik me the hungry and foreign minister said the country will receive up to 2000000 doses. there's a lot on your public diggy due to the slow delivery of the vaccine we were forced to find a new source in order to get foster livery of reliable vaccine so it is a great aunt and a great pleasure to inform me that we have concluded
1:07 pm
a treaty today under which russia will deliver a vaccine to hungry in 3 stages and. it comes a month after neighboring serbia started taking deliveries of sputnik 3 the 1st doses were administered in early january belgrade is in talks to start domestic production renowned serbian film director and mere history to give us his views on the russian job i'm very happy to be. exposed to the possibility to get. a russian rock scene because it's may as i was told by some of the prominent serbian doctors is one of those that we used to receive the same style and the same crude but 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 a national accent is
1:08 pm
a continuation of the history when i say i want russian oxygen it's an ideological i didn't through creation everything is becoming about politics today whatever you do is the same is with books so let's hope that 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. well let's keep our attention in europe where chancellor merkel is threatening to close germany's borders if all the e.u. countries fail to take better precautions against the spread of the coronavirus or europe correspondent peter all over brings us more from early in. well during the height of the 1st wave of the coronavirus pandemic last spring european member states did shut down across border travel in germany was one of those that did that
1:09 pm
now there's a huge effort taking place right now to stop that happening again on thursday night there was a summit of e.u. leaders that took place of the truly where they they tried to work out what the situation is regarding this following that we heard from on the line the e.u. commission president who said that all nonessential travel around the block must be put to a stop saying that anybody who didn't need to make a journey shouldn't be making that journey there's also a new color coded system mapping system for the e.u. with a dark red section now being introduced for those areas that have the highest infection rate of covert 19 is also new rules from people for people traveling from bo's areas you'll have to have a covert test before you set off and you'll have to quarantine when you arrive at
1:10 pm
your destination there's a lot of concern across europe and here in germany in particular we've heard senior figures from the chancellor herself to senior members of her cabinet as well saying how worried they are about the mutated strains of covert 19 that have been doing the rounds mutations from the u.k. from south africa from brazil that have been prominent ones that have been discovered so far what chancellor merkel has said is that she's willing to keep the borders open for now but that could change in the future we can do anything we like but we will not succeed if others are not working in parallel we need to make sure that everyone around us is doing the same otherwise we have to look at measures such as entry restrictions or one of those neighbors is looks and burgh one of the smallest member states of the european union their foreign ministers being on the race. you know here in germany pleading with angela merkel to keep border trip cross border travel open saying that if it was closed down then looks and burke's
1:11 pm
health service would grind to a halt saying 60 percent of those working in hospitals and other front line medical services in luxembourg well they commute in from other e.u. states france or germany or elsewhere what we've also heard is from the european council president sharma shell he said on thursday night as he wrapped up the summit that was taking place that the borders would stay open for now at least. we have to keep borders open to keep the internal market functioning but at the same time there need to be restrictions on non-essential travel closing borders is being viewed as a last resort by european leaders but a resort that they're willing to go to should they feel it be needed. ok to another story generating a lot of interest today the french president has promised extra support for students after an outcry over compass closures due to the pandemic and money will
1:12 pm
mccrone said they'll be able to return to class part time younger students 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 the announcement follows student unrest in paris over the punishing impact of months long restrictions aside from being confined to their accommodation many have been left with no means of funding their studies on the strain is taking its toll t. charlotte devinsky found out. this is emma 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 combe very dependent makers 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
1:13 pm
place and i was remotely earning for the world semester i want perspective and also having to sit in that. some of the best years of my life wasted i have some friends that are really strong handymen but they don't call tell 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 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
1:14 pm
a 3rd of france's $2700000.00 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. cycle of online lessons and isolation all from the cramped cell like sizes of the student accommodation prison for me. i mean i like to thought partment i've chosen to that burden but i'm not sure i will be able to stay in the south argument after christmas because there is no like so much memories that are
1:15 pm
in the get you into 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's not so much activity outside sometimes i'm ashamed of my country i mean where in friends were supposed to be a rich country and where in that event he will 2 of our students in this situation i think the best for me next year is disagree the same with. doing a gap here 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
1:16 pm
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 r.t. paris. a report commissioned by the french government on the country's colonial past in algeria has acknowledged historical wrongdoing but stopped short of recommending an official apology ahead of its publication of money well mccrum in fact said paris has no intention of seeing sorry the report proposes
1:17 pm
setting up a memories and truth commission and changing the way colonial history is taught in schools although it feels to look at allegations of systematic torture by the french authorities in algeria what many aspects of french rule in algeria and of the war of independence in particular are fiercely speeded by the 2 countries that conflict lasted 8 years ending in 1962 no it cost the lives of around one and a half 1000000 algerians no president mccrone stance on the issue of french atrocities in the area used to be quite different while running for the presidency he promised to recognize them colonna zation is a part of french history it is a crime is a crime against humanity he 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 or we are people in both countries what they think about france's refusal to
1:18 pm
apologize. apologise for 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 . as 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 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
1:19 pm
sufficient. and also 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. president biden in seeking to extend the new start treaty with russia which was to to expire in just 2 weeks time it is the last remaining nuclear pact between the 2 nations the white house press secretary made the announcement it has been cautiously welcomed by moscow. i can confirm that the united states intends to seek a 5 year extension of new start as the treaty permits the president has long been clear that the new start treaty is in the national security interests of the united states and this extension makes even more sense when the relationship with russia
1:20 pm
is adversarial as it is at this time new start is the only remaining treaty constraining russian nuclear forces and is an anchor of strategic stability between our 2 countries that's great news providing that this stance won't be accompanied by any additional conditions and if what is going to be prolonged is the current version of the treaty will be a strategic arms reduction treaty took effect in 2011 and is set to roll out as we say in a fortnight february 5th that kept each country's strategic nuclear warheads at $1550.00 the agreement also limits the number of missiles on bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons the target ministration said it would not prolong the arms pact with russia not in recent years moscow has repeatedly voiced the larm over a lack of dialogue with washington saying the loss of crucial treaties code spark a new arms race russia has also accused the u.s.
1:21 pm
or british shaping accords to its own advantage former pensacola's michael maloof told us extending the treaty is necessary but not enough. i think it's a minimal step it's just to keep your toe in the water as it were but it's not a full blown away let's let's work things out and and come to terms on spheres of influence or working together on counterterrorism none of those things this is the bare minimum it's my understanding that it's going to be just a mere extension of the existing treaty there are other areas that should be covered but maybe if relations can improve over time they might be able to open up discussions into those other areas and some of those other areas would include your tactical nuclear weapons which are not covered by the existing treaty and delivery systems and perhaps they could even agree to cut back on the number of warheads over time and that's something that did occur when the obama negotiated new start
1:22 pm
1st a. former cia director john brennan is claiming the biden ministration is planning some drastic action against the more radical trump loyalist looking forward is that 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 overseas that focus on internal threats alleged to turn tread 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 just 8 percent think the biggest danger comes from overseas and i discussed the issue with a number 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.
1:23 pm
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 folk. 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
1:24 pm
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 left this 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 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 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. or staying stateside is offering to help the new u.s.
1:25 pm
administration speed up its vaccine relied 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 an 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 or we want to comment on the timing of the letter especially help offered immediately after the trauma team part of the oval office. spokesperson said this a gesture they waited to offer assistance for political reasons is quite simply wrong they did mean to a truck officials to offer assistance but that the fence was not convinced that real the drug companies had 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
1:26 pm
helped the track 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 tour in the trump admin obviously it's politics and optics over people shameful amazon certainly 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 paper earlier this month their world most 200000 new crawl of virus cases reported in the u.s. on thursday we spoke to political commentator chadwick were there some questions about the timing of the offer. if that's credible that amazon had been secretly working with the temple ministration good for them but of course the fact that they wait to 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 till after the biden operation to
1:27 pm
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 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 to sort of make a move on this so it just seemed suspicious that amazon even if they were working with the trump ministry shouldn't previously and i imagine they would have to that some sort of role previously and do to sort of ramp up for whatever massive action they're planning to take to help with the distribution. another pic from our t. stable of docs coming your way in moments find out what is being served up to the shortest of bricks so you.
1:28 pm
think this is a 3rd of ministration we've been doing this show for going on 12 years anyway you know the big thing the $22026.00 team was dollars station d. globalization and now it's all coming to. do good. movies well this is my grandfather watch us both particularly good but who do you good when we make one a little bit higher do 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 the time down there.
1:29 pm
this will taste awful like absolutely awful 1st game coded then a 2nd wave is coming no the virus is mutating and i'd walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused as to holly gets 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. that's one of those things are at play research is all over the world are trying to determine the many aches pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers showing my hair. if you would care to date the 1113 there this is throughout the day my hair just. various sources reports that didn't just leave for 35 percent of recovered patients . so you don't look as the bush white. house there have been many complaints of feral vision loss joint pain and fatigue in the us these
1:30 pm
patients are referred to as post coded long holos i talk to multiple doctors and 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. amanda. were maybe will go somewhere. never mind for me. just amanda finley has lost her driving confidence i have not driven my car in the last 3 months. i've just been there. it looks like someone took some ground and then put it in your life. and i had on both sides of the. contract.
