the stray should mounts in countries that opted for the pfizer job to supply problems in europe and north america with some of the us having to travel to neighboring states just to be inoculated. in other news a legendary figure in the world of broadcasting his career spanned more than 6 decades but larry king has died at the age of 87. and there were riots in several u.s. cities just hours after new president joe biden vowed to overcome the deep rift between democrats and republicans. we must end this civil war. pits really gives blue. either very good morning thanks for joining us this is the week we are not. a mask

over 1000 vaccination campaign kicked off in russia this week every russian citizen now has the opportunity to get an injection or thirty's assert an ambitious goal there i mean for 60 percent of the population inoculated by the end of the constant thing across cough they'd visit a very nice place one of the vaccination centers in central moscow his report. the vaccination out here has to do and as you can see there are people who are lining up to get inoculated i think there are 50 dozens of people who are waiting in the line right now and we're going to go inside and i'm going to give you what they were but before it let me just say we didn't know this is probably the nicest place in moscow right now to get inoculated and you know after all this is russia's iconic and most famous department store but of course it's hard to get through here and get permission for. this. reception for. the reception desk that's where you show your id and this is actually all you need to get back

here to here and that goes for every russian citizen trying to get enough here now today to follow that. no. longer be kept secret how are you in a matter of fact i'm fine i just have a nature throat out of a perhaps you just need to drink some water yeah i already have a feeling that you know you know us are you have you already thought about tango life not changing answers develop antibodies but at the yeah i hope it will change because i work in a museum we have lots of trees a terrace so i hope my life will get better. you know i thought it was hurts more after the injection because this vaccine is supposed to be more serious you know lou just the only source i feel no difference it's just like every of the show this year i decided to get the job of a while ago i was just waiting for the opportunity honestly i should have been inoculated in a local clinic but i just wanted to speed up the process just because i want to be

immune as quickly as possible that this doesn't mean yes yes i has been to my friends took the job i have no reservations so i want to get it as soon as possible and i think the more people that get fixed means it's great to infect the summation is we'll have that in the air and the vaccination is free of charge and that goes for every russian citizen who have decided to take a jab all you need is to show your. id and name your field of war according to russia's top health care officials at the main goal right now is to achieve herd immunity before the next fall and the sure sure certainly it would love to have everyone get the shot and thus have no problems so far we have not been able to be nice people in such a scare from any type of infection like the fact that you will be able to get 60 percent of the overall population inoculated in just the 1st year is a big achievement so in addition to over $800.00 hospitals in moscow where you can get a job in a more traditional setting there are now that summation i would pose to it at

a really popular and trendy places mostly inside shopping malls but also in an exhibition center and even in the theater and according to those in charge of rolling out the jobs there are over a 1000000 people here who has been ready to vaccinated. health care workers at essential workers were the 1st who got vaccinated making the rush to russia's health care ministers the country is planning to run vaccine distribution in all the regions by another $2000000.00 doses of spontaneity and they want to do this by the end of this month. on the spot in the job a skating more traction abroad hungary's become the 1st steam a mistake to try to strike a supply deal for the vaccine the hunger in foreign minister said that the country will receive up to 2000000 doses. there's a lot on your poll book diggy due to the slow delivery of the vaccine and were

forced to find a new source in order to get fast livery of reliable vaccine so it is a great honor and a great pleasure to inform you that we have concluded a treaty today under which russia will deliver a vaccine to hungary in 3 stages like when you shake it water when your wallet comes a month after neighboring serbia started to take deliveries of spinning hate the 1st doses were administered in early january belgrade now in talks to star domestic production in an interview renowned serbian film director students are told is that he'd be happy to get the russian job. i'm very happy to be. exposed to the possibility it's a good. russian rock scene because it's made 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 rules it was 20 years old the idea of getting oxygen was always counting on some percentage that people are not going to react positively but

majority of the people who grow up salute receive so that's an accident is a continuation of the history when i say i want russian locsin it's an ideological laden 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 continuation of production. russian side it's going to be much more spread that you believed before it starts. countries around the world are trying to work out how to get as many of their population vaccinated given limited supplies in the u.k. for example the government's allowing up to 12 weeks between the 1st and 2nd phase a job that people receive doctors are vitally against that day because no studies

have been done to show that pfizer's drug is even still effective and the gap between doses is so long. no other nation in the world has adopted that 12 week delay like the u.k. i mean all those other countries are also suffering similar pressures of lack of vaccine of increasing numbers of cases hospitalization but they have their scientists have adopted their position to try and keep their manufacturers. guidance but also the w.h.s. own proposal of a maximum of $42.00 days in this will be my little is considering filing a lawsuit against pfizer after a delay in vaccine shipments at a time when mortality rates are surging 'd in the city of palermo hundreds of coffins of co victims are awaiting burial in the graveyard severe shortages of the job are being seen across europe and north america our correspondent has the of has more what was supposed to be an orderly vaccination across the western world is turning into a debacle supplier of the desperately needed vaccines is suing to

a drip in europe and canada 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 a 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 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 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 saddam 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 the states are fooling 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 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 driving to states where vaccines are available to get their shot florida for example we know right now on. our reservation

to me and hearing it i think. we had a real problem last week with trying to get last week. when the traveling was more and when we could get to get most psyched 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. legendary t.v. and radio host larry king passed away on saturday he died aged 87 larry was

admitted to hospital earlier this month after testing positive for 19 in a career that spanned more than 6 decades interviewed many world changing figures kings queens presidents prime ministers movie stars sporting legends and also everyday people but the with amazing stories to tell the new york native became the master interviewer for generations of journalists. taylor looks back at his extraordinary career. a voice on a name at the became an institution larry king was the indisputable maust of the microphone and a case in point the when you find a job you enjoy doing that you'll never have to walk a day in your life are going to have a bad day but it will not affect me when i. goes on. bad man. to me lawrence harris i go was born into a poor family of jewish immigrants and brooklyn the sudden death of his father left the family in dire financial straits and larry badly finishing high school but he

had to pass on to use the voice that had been given to him and i don't know why most of the. a good voice pre-puberty people kept telling me you got to be honorary so i would imitate radio with less than $20.00 in his pocket a 24 year old larry set off for the sunshine state in such of golden opportunities that he said goodbye to lawrence harris i got and became larry king he took a gig as a d.j. all the while freelancing writing columns and trying to get on the air waves and from those humble beginnings he started he walked his way towards his big break came in 1978 when king landed the upon a miss the late night radio larry king show it started in 28 cities 5 years later it was in 118 narry king became a household name radio's number one interviewer larry king thank you very much good

evening everybody on this tuesday night wednesday morning across the united states this is larry king's show 10 years at peabody award later king decided it was time to move on and larry king life was born a smash hit from start to finish the longest running most watched show on c.n.n. pulling in a 1000000 viewers nightly for 25 years king with his trademark baritone sat down with presidents of rappers ballerinas even preachers and even killers mark where you really are with us those terrible moments for you for them the world for a lot of people around and circles close to john lennon some said king was too soft on his guests but his interview style made him a man of the people talk show host his uniqueness was simplicity no gimmicks no skits no long sentences and king insisted no preparation and i use that as questions i never thought about a question of a plan b.

question i had questions written ever not to be outdone by the professional life kings pos no one was also full of flat a brief fall from grace off to accusations of loss and. i saw him once as an announcer at a horse racing truck he was married 8 times to 7 women he went to the same bagel shop with his childhood friends every morning you were locked in we gave up smoking and red meat and even more reluctantly took our routine 4 miles a day he left voice mails for his assistance with what to post on his twitter and he had a flip phone until the very end. of your order that you have a flip phone. but with phenomenal success also came miss fortune king overcame a series of health scares and was stalked by enormous personal grief including the passing of 2 of his children within weeks of each other the very next day king sort

solace in the place he called home the studio where he stayed until the very last because the mohammed ali of broadcast interviews brought his unwavering voice and curiosity right here to r.t. and did what he always done best questioned more on the larry king question being listening learning you know of or several i never learned anything where i was talking it's important to listen to a question of the morning more than 6 decades of success over 60000 interviews numerous awards countless suspenders and one inimitable voice a legend an icon a king is dead i don't know what to say except to you. my audience. thank you and instead of goodbye. i'm out of seoul. earlier my colleague in an o'neill spoke with r.t.

america host rick sanchez who was a longtime colleague of larry king who gave us more insight into the character the legendary interviewer. larry king was the king he was the king. communications in america the even when outside of america i remember there was a time when i 1st started working at c.n.n. and my kids at the time were small and they came up to me and they said dad we're so proud of you now that you're working at c.n.n. and i said why and they said because you're working with larry king larry king is a guy who was so good at his craft that he was able to do what most people in our profession would never be able to do and that is he didn't have to book guests guests book themselves he would have a line out the door of people including presidents and prime ministers of every country in the world including the united states job easily who would be knocking on his door asking can you interview me i want to be interviewed by larry king what

was it then record the thing that laurie brought to modern popular journalism was it just a complete change from the existing format was it is subject matter what your fault . he was curious he was he was curious almost to a fault curious in looking for answers without ever allowing himself or his ego or his story to get in the way of that curiosity he asked simple questions like how. why. where larry talk to his guests the way you talk to somebody you just met on the street and you can't wait to find out more about their story and that's what made his interviews so good when he was on the way see in a moment. join

me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest in the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. i wouldn't quite see this a poor sort of banning of trump per se i think long before we reached this point there should have been enough and there should have been a set of guidelines and rules. technology platforms followed around specific kinds of cheeses by which people might be maybe even not the platforms into steps they're on the way to their view they are stealing information that is going viral that is obviously false and or heat fall. by these

algorithms that are influencing blue visibility of content that is heat fall and viral in those cases we need to intervene. welcome back home wednesday joe biden was sworn in as the 46th president of the us it brings to a close donald trump's 4 years in office but amid deep divisions in american society just hours after biden's inauguration people were taking to the streets to show their discontent. with. the scene in portland as protesters faced off with riot police officers fired tear gas a mob smashed windows of the democratic party's offices seattle also saw violence

protesters there were creating barricades and starting street fights. the one in colorado protesters set fire to a large us flag this was in the state capital then the scuffles broke out as counter protesters tried to put the fire out. integration ceremony itself was like no other security so the scene of the bit like a war zone and unprecedented $25000.00. the national guard were called in to try to avoid a repeat of scenes like we saw 2 weeks earlier in the capitol hill riot in rest seen across america came just hours after biden had stressed he would strive to bring unity. we must end this civil war pits red against blue rural versus urban or rural versus urban conservative versus liberal we can do this if we open our souls to so harden our hearts if we show

a little tolerance and you. and if we're really understanding the other person's shoes as my mom would say just for a moment stand in the shoes. despite his calls for unity biden on taking office 5 of a raft of executive orders all designed to dismantle donald trump's legacy they see the u.s. rejoined the paris agreement on climate change the world health organization biden rolled back a muslim travel ban on plans to build a wall on the border with mexico buns in all good speech was gushed over by the u.s. mainstream media a level of praise donald trump certainly never got for the speech left the taste in some people's mouths those lights that are that are just shooting out from the lincoln memorial i look it's like almost extensions of joe biden's arms embracing america president elect joe biden and vice president harris told the grief and

regret out of the privacy of our hearts if just for a moment so that we all could share it he doesn't keep a lot of things secret when it comes to his emotions and his and his family and his love for his family i've instructed my family in the event i were to somehow ingest some poison. and you rushed me to an emergency room and you had to induce emesis vomiting for those at home if you don't have any syrup of ipecac please played today's media coverage because i think i would upchuck it was the worst saccharin distance anadan nonsense the best of the best was a fellow by the name of chris wallace who was on fox news fax news much which used to be considered conservative whatever that means and he said that he's been covering inaugurations since 1961 says j.f.k.

ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country when we had stentorian oratory the only thing we have to fair is fair itself and chris wallace said with a straight face this was the best inaugural address. he's ever heard. i'm in a parallel universe imagine every cliche everything you've ever heard thrown into a hat and just poured out and read and this this finding this almost. cult like it is incantations up the stage at the u. unity and what did he do within the 1st he went straight to the white house walked again and basically reversed a number of serious executive orders the president trumped initially so in the day when he were to say we're all coming together we're all coming the other the

1st he does is give me that pen around and there you go there's your unity. firmly today marks exactly 10 years since the terrorist attack in mosque is done instead of porter killed 37 people and injured 170 just on the floor so what progress russia's sense made in the war on terror. it was supposed to be one of the safer places a major airports of the russian capital serving millions of passengers a year and yes that was when tara struck $37.00 people were killed in the suicide bombing which followed a string of extremist attacks in russia since the late ninety's russia's the north caucasus became a festering ground for radical islamists who sought to break away and create a caliphate by any means necessary schools theaters public transport hospitals

trains you name it no place was off limits for them.

it became the biggest security threats russia has faced and it's more than history . i saw what chechen militia looked like before they were farmers honestly armed farmers on the war only a few of them served in the military nor they were very ideologically charged with time people from the united arab emirates joining the they were serious trainers and slowly the level of their equipment and training grew and i count even say that their equipment was any different from ours or even that over special forces

gradually they formed into a very very good for the worse so it turns out to 1999 in those 3 years we geared up to be even better formed an army during that period of about if when they entered dagestan they were units under a bus a year van houten there was an intense influx of money it's not like they were promoted just like not to act no there were involved islamic state the caucasus emirate or it can't be that they just by their own violation took action no i think they certainly would have done that but there was a sturdy and organize front on when you thought about all the thoughts and open your volunteer stomping out discourage of jihad became the government's top priority to the existing special services like the f.s.b. vladimir putin created the national anti terror committee the lead security units targeted terrorist commanders and foreign mercenaries drawn in from the middle east

by the lure of extremist ideology that material more serious is an ideological opponents of them they are the hardest to persuade or it's more serious when they have had blood on their hands even more serious if they just spilled a load right before taking a hostage over a vehicle or a building or what does a negotiator do it's not just walking over to talk but it's. also an intelligence survey you go to look at available weaponry at the location if there are countless as you sometimes you're riding in a car with local operational personnel who know the community and everything else it's the same technique all of us are military in the end we look at maps aerial photographs but we also use our own methods secret agent stuff but my bit. but then i say to keep its own conquests to build a so-called caliphate in iraq and syria and some chieftains in russia.
