job to supply problems his sure and also in north america and some in the us having to travel to neighboring states just to get to know he liked it and the legendary figure in the world of broadcasting he's curious spanning more than 6 decades larry king has died at the age of 87 also took up. rights in several u.s. cities to status off the new president joe biden values to overcome the rift between democrats and republicans. we must end this civil war. the pits really against blue. collar welcome the latest developments and a look back at the last 7 days to you watching the weeklies here on r.t. international. our mask ovid 19 vaccination campaign kicked off in russia this week

with every citizen now having the opportunity to get the jab authorities have set an ambitious goal to to get 60 percent of the population inoculated by the end of the year. constantine's rushkoff is it is one of the vaccination centers in central moscow the vaccination out here as you can as you can see there are young people lining up to get inoculated i think there are at least 50 dozens of people who are waited 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 quickly know this is probably the nicest place in moscow right now to get inoculated you know after all this in russia iconic and most famous department store but of course it's hard to get through here decoration for. this. except for. yourself unless that's where you show your i.d. and this is actually all you need to get back here to here and that goes for every

russian citizen he thought he was actually pretty follow that. one he kept secret how would he i'm fine i just have a nature throat perhaps you just need to drink some water yeah i already have i feel better now. or you have you already thought about how your life will change once you develop antibodies. i hope it will change because i work in a museum we have lots of researchers 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 show in the series i decided to get the job 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 woman i mean you know 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 vaccinated the greater impact folks who may should have 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 fault institution 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 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 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 round off a vaccine distribution in all other regions by and another 2000000 doses of spontaneity and they want to do this by the end of this month well russia is a sputnik the jab is getting more traction abroad to you hungry has become the 1st team member state 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 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 hungry in 3 stages like many here when it comes a month off the neighboring city started taking to have results but make thing the 1st study says were administered in early january and i belgrade is in talks to stop domestic production in an interview there are 19 film directed that it's told us he'd be happy to get the russian japanese. are 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 20 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 accident is a continuation of the history when i say once russian bucks in it's an ideological i didn't through 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. russian science 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 their populations vaccinated given the limited supplies u.k. government for example is allowing up to 12 weeks between people's 1st and 2nd pfizer's jab although 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 until italy meanwhile is considering filing a lawsuit against pfizer after a delay in vaccine shipments of the time when the rates again surging in the city palermo for example hundreds of coffins of coby victims here are waiting to be buried at a graveyard meanwhile across europe and north america there are severe shortages of the jam to our senior correspondent war against the f picks up a 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 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 soon refocused and satisfying america needs this is left canada literally begging its southern neighbor for a handout murmur my merkin 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 of 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 vaccines 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 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 think i. think we had a real problem last week we tried to get last week. when the traveling was more a year when we could get to get close to the site 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 what it all started out allies jump to very each other to buy up all the mosques and ventilators leaving neighbors with nothing then they boosted about buying up billions of duces of vaccines which hadn't even been produced again even poorest states with nothing and now that they hear there's not enough for everyone. but they can treat t.v.

and radio host larry king died on saturday he was 87 larry was admitted to hospital early this month after testing positive for 19 in a career spanning more than 6 decades many world changing think is leading kings and queens presents a movie stars and also everyday people with amazing stories to tell saskia 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. 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 a raja laurie 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. 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 that the professional

life king's possible one was also full of flat a brief fall from grace off to accusations of grand larceny. 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 sought 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 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 good bye. above soul. but my colleague keenan unable to speak with america host rick sanchez who was

a longtime colleague of the late and i came larry king was the king he was the king of 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 but yes guests booked 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 the thin record the thing that laurie brought to modern popular journalism was

it just the complete change from the existing format was it is subject matter what your fault. use 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. still ahead for you on the way it was in the north gratian like no other joe biden's coming to power was marked by presidents and some absent some prime to look back at that just off the press.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confront case let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic to follow only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by a dream shaped by from person. who

dares thinks. we dare to ask. welcome back now on wednesday joe biden a sworn in as the 46th president of the united states bringing to a close donald trump's 4 years in office but amid deep divisions in american society just hours after the inauguration people took their discontent to the streets. important for example protesters here faced off with riot police officers fired

tear gas into the crowd in a mob smashed windows of the democratic party's offices in the city seattle also saw violence too with protesters creating barricades and starting fires in the streets and over in colorado protesters there set fire to a large u.s. flag in the state capital demba scuffles broke out as counter protesters tried to put it out for the inauguration ceremony itself was like no other with security so high that d.c. resembles something of a war zone and unprecedented 25000 national guard were called in to avoid a repeat of scenes like the one seen 2 weeks earlier during the capitol hill riot the unrest seen across the u.s. came just hours after biden stress that he'd strive to bring about unity we must end this civil war the pitch really goes 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 the. really understanding the other person's shoes as my mom would say just for a moment staring. where despite his calls for unity there biden on issuing office fired off a raft of executive orders designed to dismantle trump's legacy the see the us re rejoin both the paris agreement on climate change and the world health organization by north a rollback a muslim travel ban and further construction of a war along the border with mexico joe biden's in a speech was gushed over by the us 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 grisel regret out of the privacy of our hearts if just for a moment so that we all could share he doesn't have 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 word to somehow ingest some poison and you rush me to an emergency room and you had to induce emesis vomiting for those at home if you don't have any syrup of it pick out please play 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 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 fair is fear itself and chris wallace said with a straight face that 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 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 trumpets initially so in the day were the words they were all coming together were all coming together the 1st he does is give me that pen and there you go there's your unity. our report this week commissioned by the french government on the country's colonial past known shiria has acknowledged historical wrongdoing however it stopped short of recommending an official apology in fact ahead of its publication monument crum did say that paris had no intention of saying sorry when the report proposes setting up or memories and truth commission and changing the way that colonial history is taught in schools though it fails to look at the allegations of systemic torture by the french authorities in algeria many aspects of french rule in algeria and of the war of independence in particular are fiercely disputed by the 2

countries that conflict lasted 8 years ending in 1962 and it also cost the lives of around $1.00 and a half 1000000 algerians however present my stance on the issue of atrocities used to be very different while running for the presidency he said he would recognize them. colonna 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 it including by apologizing to those against whom we committed these acts but we ask people in both countries what they think about france's refusal to apologize so where do you measure to apologise and not enough moreover the time hard to build your in 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 in a war crimes from 832962 with over 10000000 victims.

plus 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 sufficient. and also both but i don't think france should apologize for the collision of algeria after the evian accords france with drew 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. and watch and wait here not

international just come after half past 3 moscow we'll be back again with more stories for you from the last 7 days at the top of the hour. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sport i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.
