i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. in the stories of the week here on r.t. frustration mounts in countries that opted for the codifies a cap a supply problems in europe and north america some in the us having to travel to neighboring states just to get inoculated. backs like you campaign kicks off in russia this building with an increasing number of other countries also didn't use it when i'm serbian film director gave us his take on the banks. be that be. exposed to the possibility. of boxing because it's me as i was told by. one of.

the sea routes. and a legendary figure in the world of podcasting his career spanned more than 6 decades very came his die at the age of $87.00 also his. rise in several u.s. cities just hours after the president joe biden to overcome the deep divisions between democrats and republicans. we must end this civil war. preach ridiculous blue. hello there the latest developments and i look back at what's been happening over the last 7 days to watch the weekly here on r.t. international countries around the world are trying to work out how to get their populations inoculated given their limited supply of vaccines u.k.

government for example is allowing up to 12 weeks between people's 1st and 2nd phase a job 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 days in school where literally meanwhile 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 cope with 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 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 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 that now is the best start to upgrade their european production plant which means for italy for example around 30 percent fewer duces 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 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 and 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 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 are fooling the dwindling number of duces a being delivered. the bottom line is that we don't have enough of the accidents 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 a 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 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 there are ghastly there will russia spinning fee chappies getting more traction abroad and greece become the 1st member state to strike a supply deal for the russian vaccine hunger in foreign minister said that the country will receive up to 2000000 doses. there's a lot on your book diggy due to the slow 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. but it does come a month after neighboring serbia started taking they have resolved sputnik thing the 1st study says were administered in early january and i belgrade is in talks to start domestic production in an interview there and i am to be in film director i

mean that it told us he would be happy to get the russian jap. 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 20 years old the idea of getting box ian was always counting on some percentage that people are not going to react positively but majority of the people who grow up salute received by so a national accident is a continuation of the history when i say i want russian bucks in it's an ideological laden 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. the russian side is going to be much more spread that you believed before it started. but also this week a massive vaccination campaign kicks off in russia with every citizen given the opportunity to get the sputnik jab authorities have set an ambitious goal to get 60 percent of the population inoculated by the end of the year and people can even get a job that shopping centers is constantine rushkoff now have reports. the vaccination out here and as you can see there are people lining up to get inoculated i think there are 5050 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 we know this is probably the nicest place in moscow right now to get in not too late and you know after all the russians iconic and most famous department store but of course it's hard to get through here and get

permission for. this. 740. 7 s. that's where you show your i.d. and this is actually all you need to get back here and that goes for every 4799 you know pretty fall that. one can see how you're feeling a i'm fine i just haven't each 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 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. 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 vaccinated the greater impact that summation will have in the end. the box nation 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 just as certainly it would love to have everyone get the shot and thus have no problem so far we have not been able to mean nice people on such a scale from any type of infection but the fact that we will be able to get 60 percent of the overall population in the uk you laid it 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 is that really popular in 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 vaccinated. health care workers at essential workers were the 1st got vaccinated became a rush to russia's health care ministry the country is planning to run on 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. and 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 in a career spanning more than 6 decades he interviewed many will changing figures including kings and queens presidents son movie stars and also every day people with amazing stories to tell. 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 goes on. bad man. lawrence harris i go was born into a poor family of jewish immigrants in brooklyn the sudden death of his father left the family in dire financial straits and. 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 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 are 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 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

a vivid professional life king's pasta 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 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 course ever i never learned anything where i was talking it's important to listen to question more the 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. of soul. larry king who died yesterday aged $87.00 now still to come for you tonight on the

weekly it was an inauguration might know whether joe biden's coming to power was marked by huge military presence and also though an absence of crowds will look back at that just after the break. 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 presume to do support of sort of the banning of travel 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 even not the platforms to enter steps they're on the way to their view they are stealing information that is going viral that is obviously false and or hateful. by these algorithms that are influencing the visibility of content that is he for and viral in those cases we need to interleave i. again now on wednesday joe biden the 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. the.

important protesters faced off with riot police officers there fired tear gas into the crowd a mob smashed windows 2 of the democratic party's offices in the city seattle also saw violence with protesters creating barricades and starting fires in the streets 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 the inauguration ceremony itself was like no other with security so high that these. it times did resemble something of a war zone and i'm precedented 25000 national guard were called in to avoid a repeat of scenes like the one seen 2 weeks ago earlier during the capitol hill riots the young wrest seen across the us came just hours after biden had stressed that he would strive to bring about unity. we must end this civil war

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 where despite his calls for unity biden on the shipping office did fire off a raft of executive orders designed to dismantle trump's legacy lisi the u.s. rejoin both the paris agreement on climate change and also the world health organization by the north to roll back to a muslim travel ban for the construction of a wall along the border with mexico well joe biden's normal 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. to 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 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 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. now report this week commissioned by the french government on the country's colonial past now interior did acknowledge historical wrongdoing however it did stop short you are recommending an official apology in fact ahead of its publication my new mccrone did say that paris had no intention of saying sorry while the report proposes setting up a memories and truth commission and also wants to change the way colonial history

is taught in schools although it fails to look at allegations of systemic torture by the thread thora sees in algeria where 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 cost the lives of around one and a half 1000000 algerian however present macron stance on french atrocities in our area it seems to be very different while running for presidency he did promise to apologize. 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 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. when you measure to apologise and not enough moreover the time half of

those you're 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 and war crimes from 832962 with over 10000000 victims . 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 is committed crimes in algeria. want to 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. but i don't think france should apologize for the colonization of

algeria after the evian accords france withdrew 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. without a thanks for watching the way we'll be back with more stories from the last 7 days at the top of the.

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 spirit dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

hello and welcome to world of 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 the big tech companies have accumulated over our lives love or hate trump it isn't his 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 graham nash the new boss and a professor of information studies at the university of california los angeles press aides 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 you

know we don't quite see that they support sort of. trump per se i think long before we reach this point there shouldn't. and there should have been a set of guidelines and rules then every big technology platform followed around specific kinds of cases by which people might be maybe if 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 to kind of lay it 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 it false.
