the by the ministry she has done this. from supporters liberals the bracing themselves. in the stories that shaped the week frustration mounts in countries that opted for the pfizer vaccine. north america some people in the us are having to travel to neighboring states just to get. meanwhile a mass vaccination campaign kicks off in russia with the job as an increasing number of other countries also choose to use it a renowned serbian film director gave us his take on the vaccine.

to see the. roots. riots are seen this week in several u.s. cities just hours after a new president joe biden valid to overcome the deep divisions in the country. we must end this on the civil war. broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow recapping the week's top stories with our weekly program this is our international. countries around the world are trying to work out how to get their populations inoculated given the limited supply of covert vaccines the u.k. government for example is allowing up to 12 weeks between people's 1st and 2nd

shots however doctors are advising against that approach saving no studies have been done to show the drugs are still effective after such a long gap no other nation in the world has adopted the 12 week delay like the u.k. i mean all these other countries are also suffering similar pressures of lack of vaccine of increasing numbers of cases hospitalization but they have their scientists have adopted their position to try and keep the manufacturers. guidance but also the w.h.s. own proposal of a maximum of $42.00 days in this bill. is only 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 of palermo the coffins of hundreds of victims are waiting to be buried at a graveyard meanwhile across europe and north america there are severe shortages of the shot as art is what i've got to have comments what was supposed to be an

orderly vaccination across the western world is turning into a debacle supply 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 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 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. european production plan supplies europe and canada and much of the world the plant in the united states for now is to refocus than satisfied america needs and this is left canada literally begging its southern neighbor for a handout. or 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 for the states and fooling the dwindling number of duces of 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 record from 5 to me and it's very late and i think. i we had a real problem last week with trying to get last week. that traffic was a horror when we could get to get close to the site nationally but they did it 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 and even neighbors with nothing then 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 meanwhile

russia's sputnik v job is getting more traction abroad hungary has become the 1st eva member state to strike a supply deal for the russian vaccine with the country set to 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 me 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 vein in the 1st doses were administered in early january and now belgrade is in talks to start domestic production in an interview with our team renowned serbian film director and mir. said he is ready to take the russian vaccine. 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 he used to receive the same style and the same rules that i was thinking years old the idea of getting bucks ian was always counting on some percentage that people are not going to be exposed to really but a majority of the of the people who grow up salute received by do so and that's an accident is a continuation of the history when i see it once russian locsin 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 of it is going to be

a much more stretch that you believed before it sucked. a massive vaccination campaign kicked off in russia this week with every citizen given the opportunity to get the sputnik shot for free authorities have set an ambitious goal to get 60 percent of the population and documented by the end of the year and they can even get that shot at shopping centers as constantine orosco reports. the vaccination point here is up and running and as you can see people are lining up for the knockhill ation i think there are at least a few dozen here but before i give you a quick tour around here let me take a moment and just to point out that this is probably the nicest place in moscow right now to take a jap i mean after all this is russia's iconic most famous department store right in the heart of russia's capital now let's get inside. all right we're in so this is the reception desk morning and this is where you need to show your

passport and that's about all you need to do to get a vaccine here the entire procedure should take around 45 minutes so 1st doctors need to verify you're in good health you're feeling well and then if you qualify for the you not collation then you should follow to that room over there i hope it will change because awakening is seem we have lots of visitors so i hope my life will get better. i thought it was good small off the injection because this vaccine is supposed to be more serious than the flu jump but i feel no difference it's just like every of the shot is 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. but oxidation 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. tributes have been paid to the legendary t.v. and radio host larry king who died on saturday he was 87 king was admitted to hospital earlier this month after testing positive for coded 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 to 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. goes on. bad

protesters set fire to a large u.s. flag in the state capital denver scuffles broke out as a counter protesters tried to put out of the flames. the inauguration ceremony itself took place with a security presence so high washington resembled a war zone and unprecedented 25000 troops were called in to avoid a repeat of the capitol hill riot 2 weeks ago yet rest following this week's ceremony came just hours after biden stressed that he would 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 to harden our hearts if we show a little tolerance and unity 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 on assuming office biden immediately reversed to some of trump's policies by signing a raft of executive orders they include the us rejoining both the paris agreement on climate change and the world health organization biden also rolled back a travel ban targeting mainly african nations and halted the construction of the mexico border wall joe biden's inaugural speech was warmly welcomed by much of the media with a level of praise donald trump never actually got to enjoy while he was in office but his address did not please everyone 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 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 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 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 read and this this finding this almost. cult like it is incantations of the stage at the u. 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 the president trumpets 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 and there you go there's your unity. russian police have launched an investigation after 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 the jailed kremlin critic election avali now the woman was admitted to the hospital with concussion but has now been discharged the policemen in question visited her to apologize blaming his actions on the confusion and chaos of the protest. what. are you going to. russia was gripped by

a wave of demonstrations in support of the volleying on saturday with the largest held in moscow officials claim around 4000 attended the unauthorized protest but opposition activists claim it was closer to 50000 protesters clashed violently with police in the capital and more than $600.00 arrests were made. it's now get a quick run through of some global news in brief now and they've all got one thing in common protests anger with an overnight curfew that came into effect on saturday in the netherlands has led to violence scenes in the city of eindhoven. despite a downward trend in new corona virus infections in the country parliament approved the curfew over fears the new more virulent strain detected in the u.k. could cause another spike the demonstrators pelted riot police with rocks at least 30 people were arrested there was also

a similar protest in the capital amsterdam with police using water cannons to disperse crowds there a day earlier anti curfew rioters torched a covert testing facility in a dutch fishing village. in israel orthodox jews have fought with police over the issue of school closures as part of the covert lockdown clashes happening in 3 cities police deployed water cannons to break up the crowd who had been throwing projectiles at officers the violence occurred after officers moved in to close religious schools that had it reopened in violation of lockdown orders. and demonstrations have been held in the u.s. city of portland over the country's deportation laws protesters confronted police forces outside the immigrations and customs enforcement facility in the city demanding its closure police responded with tear gas and several arrests were made

there. a report this week commissioned by the french government on the country's colonial past in algeria acknowledged the historical wrongdoing however it stopped short of recommending an official apology in fact president mccraw on had said france had no intention of saying sorry the report proposes setting up a memories and a truth commission and wants to change the way colonial history is taught in schools however it fails to look at allegations of systemic torture many aspects of french rule in algeria the war of independence in particularly are fiercely disputed by the 2 countries that conflict lasted 8 years ending in 1962 it cost the lives of around one and a half 1000000 algerians but president micron's stance on french atrocities in algeria used to be somewhat different while running for the presidency he did promise to apologize colin a zation is opposed french history it is

a crime is a crime against humanity it's genuinely barbaric and it is part of the post which we must confront including by apologizing to those against whom we committed these acts. we've got reactions in both countries about france's refusal to say sorry. and you measure to apologise and not enough moreover the time hard to build you in people were killed by colonialism we must not lie to each other. this is a clue near this 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 francis committed crimes in algeria. 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 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. but well that does it for me and for the weekly for this week but don't worry my colleague kevin i will be here in about let's say 34 minutes with another full and fresh look at your news looking ahead this is our 2 international glad to have you with us.

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 is what you do with some supporters are american liberals raising this. in 2040 you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just. put me in the. school and you go to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2040.

those who took part in this today over 5000000000 dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. i'm after a time she welcome to a special edition of going underground the king is dead legendary broadcaster larry king passed away in the past 48 hours after being diagnosed with coronavirus today we're going to look back at an interview i conducted with him at the i.c.a. in london when he launched a brand new show on our team after a lifetime spent within the confines of nature nation media larry king. talk to me and bianca jagger in front of an invited audience about the 4th estate new liberal inequality and the race for the white house. i spoke this week to

someone who has interviewed every president since nixon it was part of our tease celebrations of a decade of international broadcasting very king is yours politicking and larry king no come to artie on british t.v. he's from next week spoke to me in front of an invited audience at the institute of contemporary arts in london larry let's begin with that something that malcolm forbes said the owner of forbes magazine the founder at least said you created a vacuum and then you filled it one of them me i don't know what it meant by that. and i was being our dinner in new york and not conform said been on my show quite a bit the late forty's and. my radio show had really taken off and we started 36 stations and we were then about 600 stations and i just started on c n n. and i had written like 12 books at the time so he says i guess he meant that i

had there was nothing there i created a vacuum and filled it i guess they all left perhaps he was getting at the idea that you change formats just when formats are getting going like for instance obviously cable television new zealand satellite is so much of. of life is timing and luck what right turn left turn if you went out here you made bad move and didn't make that move and so i was there at the right at the right time anyway so then along came national radio which was unheard of there was no network national talk show and the mutual broadcasting system. of a like my work is another thing they have to like you this is very subjective business so they like me and i got a national radio talk show and then ted turner used to be on that show and he liked me and he had an opening and he called and that led to c.n.n. and that lasted.
