if. it. among the stories that shape the week. country's. problems having europe. some people in the us are having to travel to neighboring states just to get. a must. increasing number of other countries also choose to use a. film director gave us his take on the fact.

is. the groups. seem this week in several u.s. cities just. near president joe biden. visions between. republican. war. with the top stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well this is the weekly n.r.t. a long walk. countries around the world are trying to work out how to get their

populations inoculated given the limited supply of coal in fact scenes the u.k. government for example is allowing up to 12 weeks between people's 1st 2nd pfizer job however doctors are advising against out there being 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 $42.00 days interval. meanwhile is considering filing a lawsuit against pfizer after a delay in vaccine shipments and time when mortality rates are again surging in the

city of polar more hundreds of coffins of covert victims are waiting to be buried on a graveyard meanwhile across europe and north america there are severe shortages of the germs 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 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. 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 and this is left canada literally begging its southern neighbor for a handout. remember my merican 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 for the states and fooling the dwindling number of duces a being delivered. the bottom line is that we don't have enough of 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 reservation to me and it's very late and i think i i we had a real problem last week with trying to get last week. that traffic was more on the way we could get the get most cyclists way but they did it just 1st come 1st. 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 and leave in poorest states with nothing and now that they hear there's not enough for everyone. to have all felt sellers rushes sputnik the job is getting more traction abroad hungary has become the 1st member state to strike a supply deal for the russian boxing be 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 fosterling free 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 and. it comes a month after neighboring serbia started taking deliveries of sputnik's me the 1st doses were administered in early january and belgrade is in talks to start domestic

production in an interview with r.t. renowned serbian film director amir custer reset said he's ready to take the russian job. i'm very happy to be. exposed to the possibility to get. a russian vaccine 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 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 i once russian moxon it's an ideological i didn't through creation everything is becoming about politics today whatever you

do it's 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. nation campaign dolphin russia this week with every citizen given the opportunity to get the sputnik job for free authorities have set an ambitious goal to get 60 percent of the population inoculated by the end of the year tens of millions of people they can't even get out of shopping centers as constantine reports. the vaccination out here and as you can see there are people lining up to get inoculated i think there are at least 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 borders architecture and decoration for. this. reception. the reception desk that's where you show your id this is actually all you need to get not here and that goes for every russian citizen 99 pretty fall. right. on the top secret how are you 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 but 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 jab all you need is to show your id and name your field of war according to russia's top health care officials at 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 kobe. in a career spanning more than 6 decades he interviewed. any world changing figures including kings and queens presidents and prime ministers sporting legends movie stars and every day people with amazing stories to tell some other 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 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 a metal eye 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 a rudderless 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 her. 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 mary kay 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 narry king became a household name radio's number one interviewer larry king thank you very much ira 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

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 our sever i never learned anything where i was talking

it's important to listen to question more and 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 soul. rest in any case and still ahead an organization like no other joe biden is coming to power was marked by a huge military presence. of crowds we look back up just after the break.

those of us who watch carefully the russia gate hoax always worried that it would eventually become the foundation for the by the ministry she has done this what to do with strong supporters or american liberals the bracing is so.

hello again. joe biden was sworn in as their 46 president of the united states bringing to a close donald trump 4 years in office but amid deep divisions in american society people took their discontent to the streets just hours after the inauguration. in portland far left members faced off with riot police officers fired tear gas into the cried a mob had earlier smashed windows at the democratic party's offices in the city and

spray painted america's symbols seattle also saw violence with protesters creating barricades and starting fires in the streets. and all around 0 protesters set fire to a large u.s. flag in the state capitol of denver scuffles broke out as counter protesters tried to put out the flames the an organization ceremony itself took place with the security presence so high that d.c. resembled a war zone unprecedented 25000 troops were called in to avoid a repeat of scenes like the ones witnessed 2 weeks earlier during a capitol hill riot the unrest following this week's ceremony came just hours after joe biden stress that he'd strive to bring about unity. we must end this civil war pits red 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 humanity and if we're really understanding the other person's shoes as my mom would say just for a moment stand in the shoes. well despite his calls for unity by assuming office fired off a raft of executive orders this into this month will the team's legacy be include the us rejoining both the paris agreement on climate change and the world health organization biden also rolled back a travel targeting mainly african nations whole thing the construction of a wall along the border with mexico. well joe biden is an organ all speech was gushed over by the mainstream media the level of praise that never got to enjoy while in office but his words didn't please everyone those lights that

are that are just shooting out from the lincoln memorial i look at 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 if it can't 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 and just pulled out and ran and this this far i mean this most. cult like it is incantation jump on stage and do 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 initially so in the day when he wanted to say we're all coming together we're all coming together the 1st he does is give me that pen iran and there you go there's your unity. the report this week commissioned by the french government on the country's colonial personnel jiri a acknowledged historical wrongdoing however it stopped short of recommending official apology in fact ahead of its publication among your mccrone said powers had no intention of saying sorry the report proposes setting up a memories truth commission and wants to change the way colonial history is taught in schools however it feels to look at allegations of systematic torture by the french authorities in algeria many aspects of french troops in algeria the war of

independence in particular are fiercely disputed by the 2 countries that conflict lasted 8 years ending in 1982 it cost the lives of iran one and a half 1000000 algerians president mccrone stance on french atrocities in syria used to be somewhat different while running for the presidency he actually 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 apologising 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 the jury 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 and war crimes from 832962 with over 10000000 victims . as 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. but i don't think france should apologize for the collision of algeria after the evian accords france with

a jew 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. russian police have launched an investigation nuff to footage emerged on social media of an officer kicking a woman to the ground in st petersburg the incident happened during a protest in support of jailed opposition figure alexina vuln the woman was admitted to hospital with concussion but has no being discharged the policeman in question visited her to apologize naming his actions on the confusion and chaos the point.

was going to. russia was gripped by a wave of demonstrations in support of. the largest element in moscow official figures suggest that up to 4000 people attended the on the 4th of julys protests but in only the kremlin critic figure out 50000 protesters clashed violently with police in the capital over 600 people. a protest against an overnight curfew that came into effect on saturday in the netherlands turned violent in the city of eindhoven. i. the spy had done word trend in new corona virus infections in the country parliament approved the curfew over fears the new more strain detected in the u.k. 8. demonstrators pelted riot police with rocks at least 30 people were

arrested it was also a similar protest in the capital police they're using water cannons to disperse crowds and the day before all votes on t curfew rioters torched the testing facility in a dutch fishing village. in europe moving to copenhagen to. protest against restrictions this. was organized by a group called the men in black who live torches and marched through the danish capital chanting government slogans clashes broke out when the protesters were met by police at least 5 people were arrested also. i take you to israel jews fault with police school closures as part of. their flushes broke out in 3 city police the ploy to break up the had been throwing

projectiles officers the violence occurred after police moved in to close religious schools reopened in violation of law. let's bring in the u.s. west coast portland demonstrations held there over the country's deportation of demonstrators confronted police force the immigration and customs enforcement facility in the city. police responded with tear gas several arrests. a reminder for up to the minute news views and more besides our twitter page is well worth a follow up the top of the hour. well the pandemic no certainly no borders just blind to nationalities.

as america. we don't. need to be. judged as commentary classes. we can do better we should be. everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created the response has been much so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together.
