in the stories that shaped their week frustration months in countries that did for the. problems. some people in the us are helping to travel to neighboring states just to. meanwhile i must vaccination campaign kicks off in russia with. some increasing number of. me. to be

used to see the. roots. of the legendary figure in the world broadcast thing his career more than 6 decades laurie king died on sunday at the age of $87.00. with the top stories from the past 7 days on right up to the moment of elements this is the weekly on our t.v. . countries around the world are trying to work out how to get their populations in documented given the limited supply of covert vaccines the u.k. government for example is allowing up to 12 weeks between people 1st and 2nd pfizer job however doctors are advising against the new 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 $42.00 days in this bill is silly meanwhile is considering filing a lawsuit against pfizer ag after a delay in vaccine shipments about so the time as we can see here one mortality rates are again surging this is polar more this city in italy hundreds of coffins of cobra victims there just waiting to be buried at a graveyard meanwhile across europe north america there are severe shortages of the job our senior correspondent morocco's the 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 it has decided that 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 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 focused on satisfying america needs this is left canada literally begging its southern neighbor for a handout murmur mine american friends help us 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 very. seem 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 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 we know right now based on. our record from the beginning and it's very late and i think. i we had a real problem last week with trying to get last week. in the drafting was more on the we we could get to get most psyched nationally 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 or is

russia sputnik the job is getting more traction abroad hungry has become the 1st e.u. member state to strike a supply deal for the russian fixing the hungry and foreign minister said the country will receive up to 2000000 doses. there's a lot on your public diggy due to the slow delivery of the vaccine we were forced to find a new source in order to get foster livery of reliable vaccine so it is a great on 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. it comes a month after neighboring serbia started taking deliveries of sputnik they the 1st doses were administered in early january and belgrade is and talks to start domestic production in an interview with r.t. renowned serbian film director and near custer recess said he's ready to take the russian job 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 roots but i was thinking years old the idea of getting bucks ian was always counting on some percentage that people are not. positively but a majority of the of the people who grow up salute to save so a national accident is a continuation of the history when i say everyone thrushes oxygen 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 a russian side is going to be much more spread that you believed before it

starts. well a must vaccination campaign kicked off and russia this week with every citizen given the opportunity to get the sputnik job for free authorities have said selim bush's goal to get 60 percent of the population inoculated by the end of the year tens of millions of people of course and they can even get that chilled out shopping centers as constantine rushkoff reports the vaccination out here and as you can see there are people lining up to get inoculated i think there will be 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 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 it's for architecture and decoration for. that.

reception desk that's where you show your id and this is actually all you need to get my candidate here and that goes for every russian citizen. pretty fall. no. one can see how you're feeling 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 was hurts 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 a while ago i was just waiting for the opportunity honestly i should have been inoculated in the local clinic but i just wanted to speed up the process because i want to be immune as quickly as possible. 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. legendary t.v. and radio host laurie king died on saturday he was 87 lori was admitted to hospital earlier this month after testing positive for covert 19 in a career spanning more than 6 decades he interviewed many world changing figures including kings and queens presidents and prime ministers sporting legends movie stars and 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 master of the microphone and a case in point the when you find a job you enjoy doing 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 when metal eye goes on. bad man it's like home to me lawrence harry's aigle 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 less 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 most of. 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 zeiger and became nary 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 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 ever had questions written ever not to be outdone by a vivid professional life king's personal 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

thank you and instead of the by. and of saw. the f.b.i. has arrested more than 100 people in the wake of the capitol hill siege many of the protesters all but 100 themselves in by publicly posting pictures of their exploits on social media but facebook sharing of private messages with the f.b.i. has raised serious privacy concerns. confidential source c.s. one identified a facebook account is being utilized by chris kelly confidential source provided to the f.b.i. screenshots containing content posted to and sent and received by this account the materials provided by confidential source c s one included a screenshot of the accounts profile page. confidential source provided law

enforcement with a screenshot of a message posted to this facebook account. well according to a recent analysis social media featured in 78 percent of the criminal cases filed by the justice department while social media posts were used and 38 percent of convictions earlier this week their chairwoman of the house oversight committee also asked the f.b.i. to investigate the role social media site parlor which is largely favored by conservatives and free speech advocates played in the protests high stemmer kratz have set their sights firmly on the big 3 social media platforms asking them to make some radical changes the us you tube to disable also play and stop recommending conspiratorial content at facebook to fundamentally reexamine its recommendation algorithm for twitter to prompt users to out their own comments when we tweet saying. or very happy to welcome all into the program now technology

expert roger kay on your your colon and internet law expert good to have you gentleman roger can we kick off with you does facebook have the authority to disclose users' confidential information in the 1st place. i would. get you have an obligation to respond to a subpoena or a legitimate subpoena from the. us that we really believe you've grown committed crimes you need to show us what you have on not pollute legitimate car now maybe notified the f.b.i. that we are not you with your story i don't think they have any. or all right in that you where you could. lose may or may not cooperate in their own beliefs you really have to respond to a little subpoena though i think that's kind of the strength now. our law is not

that we posted on facebook or. i mean it's hard to say that that's not how it was already there we were all over the world. really. it's an interesting time year one of the things we've seen repeatedly over the past decade or so was this constant battle between big tech and government for information is that surprising facebook didn't put up more of a fight over surrendering the private information in particular i think you know just just to iraq where you can come in in a moment. facebook had an opportunity to shine during nearly 5 years of islamic state heads had been beheaded. people had been drone alive in each and every case was a struggle. to try and obtain some information from from from facebook and

then. the go u.k. government was almost begging the social media giant please do something about it please intercept those messages please of the moment to us and google declined those all those all 1st citing free speech it is very surprising they suddenly facebook has become a champion of national security. willing to very very confidently. disclose information without saying a warrant. roger it's a tough you know lying to walk her face but you've got see i suppose government pressure or at least the new you had a from the republicans now you're getting it from the democrats you've got people thinking what about my personal information here was it not promised to have

a protective privacy policy and so you know people are still my information is i don't want to be out there. i mean i like to think of the hotel analogy you know if you go and rent a room in a hotel you can pretty much have any guest you want as long as you're really relatively discreet but if you start trashing the place it's ok for the hotel management to one throw you out to call the police to come have you arrested so there's there's a point where the situation changes and i think what young was kind of referring to last year's news you know the weight used to be a kind of free speech championed. and you know that was sort of the arab spring i think was the way they look all hopeful and what have you and they all the social media platforms look that way but it's but i think that it sort of came closer to home and that we finally had january 6th i think you would see it was actually a pivot almost everybody literally it was a moment when people said ok things are different now and i'm glad frankly the u.s.

reacted the way it did and the way i see it the social platforms are under pressure anyway to change or they're they're going to get they have not been they have not been disciplined properly you know they got pretty fast and loose with people's information and they're being chased down now by various federal authorities and others saying look you guys have to come back into line but i also think the social media platforms themselves struggling for rule in the future are changing so i think it's a different environment than it was before january 6th yeah or. interesting that we are seeing a new struggle now between who did the question and now it's the wood at the internet is going to be censored no twitter facebook it's going to be to to to interfere or i mean they did use this previously but always going to do this 1st is is censorship going to be the role of government or censorship is going to be the

role of say facebook. and there rees going to be a very heavy struggle there because at least in the e.u. governments would like to take this role of sense to save governments would like to decide who is going to be saying so and who should be able to speak and the reason for this is because european leaders are not very happy about facebook taking the role of making a decision that say the president is not its head is not able to communicate we the people and they are very seriously worried about it because tomorrow there is going to be dinner election in june in germany or in france and those people are very concerned that facebook will will take sides and will make a decision to to only allow one side to communicate with the voters roger yeah yours point pretty much leads to my next question the other aspect to our story

heise democrats asking facebook you tube twitter to make sweeping changes to recommendation and sorting algorithms you know is government interfering too much in how these companies are run you know i think those are all half measures i mean the a.b.a. do something to slow the velocity you know good information bad information and information i think what's interesting is section 23 so far protecting these platforms from being responsible under site and there's a kind of the understanding in u.s. law is that if you touch it you own so editors route you know who would love to put up stuff and never look at it and there's no we didn't look at it you know. it is sort of the commentary line it goes back to the 19th century you know if you carry this packet you're not obliged to know it's inside the sender send something illegal and they're the ones who are in trouble not you the carrier so the carriers will be protected but i think the story in in this world now is that it's soon as you touch it you're ending it now you become a publication and you have

a whole different sort of lives that you know who are so i think the really the platform to be very reluctant to touch their content one because it slows down the last year their content that's what they live on and the other is once you touch it you own it and you become responsible for the content that's coming out or sites. for you know just just just for the sake of accuracy it is not quite a position a social media companies and web site operators are allowed to go to to filter through content allow to remove contain to change content in scale not in still receive the protection of section $230.00 i think the question is is a much bigger the question is who is in charge all is good the ability to decide what contin should be disclosed what clinton should be a publish and what contingent would be published and by making global decisions

that that that we can see a leaning sometimes toward what toward towards $11.00 political views opposed to another and this is where the real danger is. where we just need to wrap up soon but if you want to offer your final thoughts starting with you roger what do you think well you know i think there's the question of you know who's content gets moderated and i think the problem we've had here in the united states and maybe you have over there as you do with the kinds of truths and is in fact there any truth or is are just opinions and people put up say 2 different versions of the story and you say well i vote for this one as far as i can see there actually is a truth there are journalists who try to get it and typically if you're a good publisher those are the journals that you promote you don't promote ones that are putting out this information and so on and so yeah you're the final 10 seconds the. well i can say is a lawyer the truth quite often is in the eye of the beholder different people see different things have different way of thinking different experiences that did

impact on the way to see the truth and give the oval the truth too to say facebook or google would be a very scary prospect for everyone in technology expert roger k. anya your co internet law expert very interesting indeed thank you very much. and that's all the news we help here.
