in the stories that shape the way here and i see a mass coded 900 vaccination campaign kicks off in russia with an increasing number of other countries also watching for the country's sputnik when i am serbian film director gave us his take on the facts of. freedom be. exposed to good. question because it's me as i was good for me. no one will do. the same stuff the same routes. frustration mounts in other countries that opted for the pfizer job to supply problems here europe north america some in the us having to travel to

neighboring states just to get unlucky like to. the legendary figure in the world of broadcasting these career spanned more than 6 decades larry king has died at the age of $87.00 or so to come. riots in several u.s. cities just hours after new president joe biden was to overcome the deep rift between democrats and republicans we must end this civil war. the pitch really gets blue. but i welcome the latest developments in the back of the last 7 days to you watching the weekly here on r.t. international now maskaev 19 vaccination campaign kicked off in russia this week with every citizen having the opportunity to get the job authorities have set an

ambitious goal to get 60 percent of the population inoculated by the end of the year artie's constantine visited one of the vaccination centers in central moscow. the vaccination out here has to do and as you can see there are people 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 if you're like me just with me know this is probably the nicest place in moscow right now to get inoculated and you know after all the russians iconic and famous department store but of course it's hard to get through and get permission from. television. sets. yourself investors where you show your id and this is actually all you need to get enough here and that goes for every 4799 you know pretty follow that. no. one can see how you're

doing a i'm fine i just have an h. a throat perhaps you just need to drink some water yeah i already have i feel better now. are you have you already thought about how your life will change once you develop antibodies that you know i hope it will change because i work in a museum we have lots of visitors so i hope my life will get better. i thought it would hurt more after the injection because this vaccine is supposed to be more serious than a flu jab but i feel no difference it's just like every of the shot this year i decided to get the job but 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 because i want to be immune as quickly as possible that this year my husband and my friends took the job i have no reservations so i want to get it as soon as possible i think the more

people that get it the greater impact that summation will have in the end. the vaccination is free of charge and that goes for every russian citizen who have decided to take a job all you need is to show your id and name your field of war according to russia's top health care officials the main goal right now is to achieve herd immunity before the next fall certainly it would love to have everyone get the shot and thus have no problem so far we have not been able to be nice people on such a scale from any type of infection but the fact that it will be able to get 60 percent of the overall population 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 vaccination i would pose it at 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. healthcare 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 off the vaccine distribution in other regions by and another $2000000.00 doses of spontaneity and they want to do this by the end of this month well russia is getting more traction abroad to hungary has become the 1st e.u. member state to strike a supply deal for the russian banks saying the hungary and foreign minister said that the country will receive up to 2000000 doses. there's a lot on your public 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 aunt and a great pleasure to inform you that we have concluded

a treaty today under which russia will deliver a vaccine to hungary and 3 stages like me but it does come a month after neighboring serbia started taking 10 of results but nick i think the study says were administered in january and i belgrade is in talks to star domestic production in an interview there are now being filmed direct to a man who stood it told us he'd be happy to get the russian jet. 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 rules when i was thinking years old the idea of getting bucks ian was always counting on some percentage that people are not going to react positively but a majority of the of the people who grow up salute received by so

a national accent is a continuation of the history when i say once russian moxon it's an ideological laden 3 creation everything is becoming about politics today whatever you do 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. well countries around the world are trying to work out how to get as many of their population vaccinated given their limited supplies u.k. government for example is allowing up to 12 weeks between people's 1st and 2nd pfizer job however doctors are advising against that is no studies have been done to show that the drug is still effective after such a long gap 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 that scene of increasing numbers of cases hospitalization but they have their scientists have adopted a position to try and keep their manufacturers. guidance but also the w.h.s. own proposal of a maximum of $42.00 days in civil well it is considering filing a lawsuit against pfizer after a delay in vaccine shipments of the time when mortality rates are again surging in the city palermo for example hundreds of coffins of victims are waiting to be buried at a graveyard meanwhile across europe and north america there are severe shortages of the jab our senior correspondent picks up the story what was supposed to be an orderly vaccination across the western world is turning into a debacle supplier of the desperately needed vaccines is slowing 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 cannot be slowed down especially for given the 2nd doses to the many talents who are already received the 1st phase it has the side the now is the best style 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 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 deaths and in this race against our own losing we will have literally nothing left to give as of friday what does that mean it means if we don't get more vaccine quickly our new supplier vaccine we will have to

cancel appointments this is crazy this is not the way it should be we have the ability to vaccinate a huge number of people we need the vaccine to go with it the way it's handled in the states is that the federal government every week ships out that scene quotas to various states trumpet boasted that they have millions in reserve but that may have been untrue according to various governors who say there's nothing left vaccine quotas the states are fooling the dwindling number of duces a being delivered. the bottom line is that we don't have enough bank 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 based on. our reservation

to me and it's very clear i know you and i we had a real problem last week we tried to get last week. when the traveling was more on the way we could get to 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 remember what it all started out allies jump 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 poorer states with nothing and now that they hear there's not enough for everyone. now the legendary t.v. and radio host larry king died on saturday he was $87.00 and larry was admitted to

hospital early this month after testing positive for cave 19 in a career spanning more than 6 decades he interviewed many world changing figures including kings and queens presidents and movie stars and also every day people with amazing stories to tell just a tailor who expect now of 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 it's like home to me laurence 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 a rod 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 larry 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 live with us those terrible moments for you for 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 will 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 a vivid professional life king's pasta one was also full of flat

a brief fall from grace off to accusations of loss and. i saw him walk 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 he reluctantly gave up smoking and red meat and even more reluctantly took up walking 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 larry king questioning listening learning you know our 7 i've 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 of soul. you're watching a week here or not he's still ahead for you it was an inauguration like no other joe biden's coming to power by huge military presence and an absence of crowds

we'll look back at it just after the break. join me every thursday on the all excited i'm sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm sure. i'll see you then. i wouldn't presume to support sort of the banning of trump per se i think long before we reach 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 cases by which people might be maybe not the platforms to enter steps

they're on the way to their view they are stealing information that is going viral it is obviously false and or hateful. by these algorithms they're influencing blue visibility of content that is he for and viral in those cases we need to intervene. welcome back now on wednesday joe biden was sworn in as the 46th president of the united states bringing to a close donald trump's 4 years in office but deep divisions in american society just hours after the inauguration people took their discontent to the streets. the. important here

protesters faced off with riot police officers fired tear gas into the crowd and the mob smashed windows of the democratic party's offices in the city seattle or social violence to with protesters creating barricades and starting fires in the streets and then over in colorado protesters set fire to a large u.s. flag in the state capital of denver scuffles broke out as counter protesters tried to put it out when you know gratian ceremony itself was like no other with security so high that de. resembled something above or zone an unprecedented 25000 national guards were called in to avoid a repeat of the riots on capitol hill 2 weeks ago the arm rest seen across the us came just hours after biden stress that he'd strive to bring about unity. we must end this civil war the pits really 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 know lead and if. we're willing to stand in the other person's shoes as my mom would say just for a moment stand in the shoes or despite his calls for unity there biden on the shimming office then fired off a raft of executive orders designed to dismantle trump's legacy the sea the u.s. region both rejoined the piracy agreement on climate change and also the world health organization biden also rolled back a muslim travel ban on further and further construction of a war along the border with mexico joe biden's inaugural speech was gushed over by the u.s. mainstream media a level of praise that donald trump never got to enjoy while he was in office but

the speech did leave a bad taste in some people's minds 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 grin fell 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 play today's media coverage because i think i would upchuck it was the worst saccharin this does and

a dying nonsense the best of the best was a fellow by the name of chris wallace who was on fox news facts 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 fear is fear 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 pulled out and read and this this finding this almost. cult

like it is incantations up the stage at the you unity and what did he do within the 1st he went straight to the white house walked in and basically reversed a number of serious executive orders that president trump had such 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 and there you go there's your unity you can watch the weekly here not international thanks for the company to soften and we'll be back with more stories from the last 7 days at the top of the hour. l. look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders would conflict

with the 1st law show your identification we should be very careful about artificial intelligence and the point of view screen is to face a trance every other than fear. of inflicting on various chozen with artificial intelligence will summon the demon. robot must protect its own existence as a mixer. right now there are. people who are overweight or obese it's profitable to self. and sugary and salty undertake to it's not at the individual level it's not individual willpower and if we go on believing that never change this obesity epidemic that industry has been influencing very deeply the medical

and scientific establishment. so what's driving the obesity epidemic it's called for both of. our. welcome to worlds apart the departure of donald trump from the white house twitter and many other social media platforms has left many americans ecstatic but astonished many more of just how much power of the big tech companies have accumulated over our lives love or hate trump isn't he's jack order executed at

such a politically opportune moment a warning shot for all of us not only in america but everywhere in the world well to discuss that i'm now joined by ramesh 3 a bus and a professor of information studies at the university of california los angeles press is good to talk to you thank you very much for your time it's nice to meet you thank you for having me i know that you fully support removing trunk from social media platforms and yet you also find twitter is and the other big tech companies decision to suspend his accounts somewhat problematic why is that yeah i wouldn't quite say that i support sort of the banning of trump per se i think long before we reach this point there should have been enough there should have been a set of guidelines and rules every big technology platform followed around specific kinds of cases by which people might be maybe not deep platforms take into

steps they're on the way to there and that is not what happens and i think those cases and just a kind of weird out should be for folks for individuals who have huge viral it meaning what they say what they share can go very viral it's for those kinds of individuals if they are stating information that is going viral that is obviously false and or he'd fall. it is by these algorithms that are influencing the visibility of content that is heat fall and viral in those cases we need to intervene 1st process a and i'm sure you know better than i do that obviously false and hateful and very very subjective definitions in this day and age and i speak to you from russia i have covered a number of wars and hurricane leftwards before and i can tell you that you know.

there is almost never an agreement on what is good and what is bad when it comes to your highly politically sensitive issue is why are you comfortable with all your criticism of the big tech companies and we will go into more details later but with all your criticism of the big tech companies why you're comfortable giving them this right to decide what's good and what's bad what's right and what's wrong oh no no i'm not that's actually the complete opposite of what i'm saying i think we need 3rd party regulatory systems in place i mean of course in the big if the tech companies themselves who are going to make decisions and disclose them to the public and we can all be on the same page and we can trust them and they'll do the right thing and so be it i mean that would obviously be ideal to be more collaborative and co-operative i don't believe in inherently trying to be imposition all however to the earlier point you need a. president trying to use twitter and other mechanisms as loughlin

mechanisms as well to incite a riot that took over the capitol building and killed multiple people ok and so sir it's these kinds of conditions that we have to be extremely careful about and that's not just anybody i'm all for the unit being a supporting free speech that is the foundation of our country actually just one sect it's also the commission of the country and the best parts of the country and it's the foundation of the internet it's content that directly leads to violence that is likely to go viral which are clearly is where we need since your but professor you know that the united states has a pretty solid legal system this is one thing that many countries out of 8 and your definition of hate speech is also. very well tested and there have been legal precedents before and i think if you actually study those legal precedents i'm absolutely sure i mean like oh pretty confident at least that.
