on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sport i'm sure i'll see you there. in the stories you shake the week here on r.t. frustration manson countries that opted for the pfizer job to supply problems in europe and north america in the us having to travel to neighboring states just to get a knock you liked meanwhile the mouth vaccination campaign kicks off in russia but it sputnik the japanese case number of other countries also wanting to use it ever known serbian film director gave us his take on the backs of a very. good. the russian black sea because it's me as i was told by me. is one that used to receive the same stuff. that's on

a legendary figure in the world of broadcasting whose career spanned more than 6 decades larry king has died at the age of $87.00 comes. to. rights in several u.s. cities just hours after new president joe biden has to overcome the big divisions between democrats and republicans. we must end this civil war. the prince really against blue. clothes are the latest developments in a look back at the last 7 days you're watching weekly here on r.t. international countries around the world are trying to work out how to get their populations inoculated given the limited supply of vaccines u.k. government for example is allowing up to 12 weeks between people's 1st and 2nd

pfizer's jab however doctors are devising against that is no studies have been done to show that the drug is still effective after such a 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 a position to try and keep their manufacturers. guidance but also the w.h.s. own proposal of a maximum of $40.00 to $2.00 days interval it's only me molly is considering filing a lawsuit against pfizer after a delay in vaccine shipments at a time when mortality rates are again surging in the city palermo for example hundreds of coffins of covert victims are waiting to be buried at a graveyard meanwhile across europe and north america there are severe shortages of the chapter you 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 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 given the 2nd doses to the many talents who are already received the 1st phase or 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 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 focused on satisfying america needs this is left canada literally begging its southern neighbor for a handout. murmur my 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 been untrue according to various governors who say there's nothing left vaccine quotas the states a fool it dwindling number of duces of being delivered. the bottom line is that we don't have enough 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 their shot florida for example you know right now on. our reservation to me and it's very. i think i. think we had a real problem last week with trying to get last week. with the traveling was more on you know when we could get to get close to the site last week when 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 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 even poorest states with nothing

and now that they hear there's not enough for everyone. and gas if they will meanwhile russia jab is getting more traction abroad hungary's become the 1st member state to strike a supply deal for the russian banks in hungary and foreign minister said that the country will receive up to 2000000 doses. will be due to the slow to delivery of the vaccine we 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 hungry in 3 stages. and well it comes a month after neighboring serbia started taking to verdi's all the sputnik fane study says were administered in it in january and i belgrade is in talks to start domestic production in an interview there were 9 serbian film director and me. told this who would be happy to receive the job. i'm very happy to be. exposed to the

possibility to get. the 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 the majority of the of the people who grow up salute received ideas so a national accident is a cotton gin you shouldn't of the history when i say once russian oxygen it's an ideological i didn't 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. russian side is going to be

a much more stretch that you believed before it started what a mass vaccination campaign can tell from russia this week with every citizen given the opportunity to get the sputnik jep authorities have set an ambitious goal to get 60 percent of the population in all collated by the end of the year and people can even get the jab a shopping center this is constantine the rushkoff now have reports. the vaccination out here has to do and as you can see there are people lining up to get inoculated i think there are the 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 quickly 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 and get permission for. this. there's nothing. there except invest that's where you show your

id this is actually all you need to get not here and that goes for every russian citizen 90 get enough credit if you follow that you're. right no. one can see how you're doing a i'm fine i just have a nature throat but perhaps you just need to drink some water yeah i already have i feel better now you know us are you have you already thought about how your life will change once you develop antibodies at the 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. i thought it was hurts more after the injection because this vaccine is supposed to be more serious than a flu jump to fully switch i feel no difference it's just like every of the show this year 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 is yes 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 great are in fact that summation it 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 into should 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 hospitals in moscow where you can get

a job in a more traditional setting there are now vaccination outposts that 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 became a rush to russia's health care ministry the country is planning to run off vaccine distribution in all other regions by another $2000000.00 doses of spontaneity and they want to do this by the end of this month. and in some sad news this week the legendary 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 and

a career spanning more than 6 decades he interviewed many world changing figures including kings and queens presidents and movie stars and also everyday people with amazing stories to tell the tale and 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 have a light goes on and goes on. bad man it's like home to me lawrence harry's 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 to roger 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 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

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'd 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 good buy. about. you watch an awakening still to come to an inauguration. is coming to. a huge with presidents and an absence of cry and spoil look back at just after the

birth.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to resist they'll see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down in. welcome back to the weekly now on wednesday joe biden was sworn in as the 46 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.

in portland for example protesters here faced off with riot police officers fired tear gas into the crowd and a mob smashed windows at the democratic party's offices in the city seattle also saw violence with protesters creating barricades and starting fires in the streets meanwhile over in colorado protesters set fire to a large u.s. flag on the state capitol demba scuffles broke axes counter protesters tried to put it out for the inauguration ceremony itself was like no other with security so high that it times d.c. it resemble a war zone an unprecedented 25000 national guard were called in to avoid a repeat of scenes like the one seen 2 weeks ago during the capitol hill riot the armrest seen across the u.s. came just hours after biden stressed that he would strive to bring about unity we must end this on 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. 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 well despite his calls for unity there biden on assuming office did fire off a raft of executive orders designed to dismantle trump's legacy the c.b. us rejoin both a parasite agreement on climate change and also the world health organization biden also rolled back a muslim travel ban for the construction of a war along the border with mexico joe biden's noble 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 but 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 gristle 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 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 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 just poured out and read and this this finding this almost. cult like it is incantations up the stage and do you 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. report this week commissioned by the french government on the country's colonial past now in syria acknowledged historical wrongdoing however it did stop short of recommending an official apology and in fact ahead of its publication emmanuel macron said paris had no intention of saying sorry when the reporters proposed setting up memories and truth commission wants to change the way colonial history is also taught in schools although it fails to look at allegations of systemic torture by the french authorities in algeria now 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 1960 and cost the lives of around one and a half 1000000 algerians however president stance on french atrocities announced here you used to be quite different in fact running while running for presidency he did promise to apologize. colon a zation is a part of french history it is a crime is a crime against humanity is genuinely barbaric and it is part of the past which we must confront 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. you measure to apologise for not enough moreover the time hard to build your 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 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 to do this and also both but could 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. thanks watching we can hear not a that was the week that was it's just coming up to half past 5 here in moscow we're back again at the top of the.
