a 10 year old girl filming a black challenge for the popular social network. 1101 moscow time for good morning for me kevin though in this 25th of january watching r.t. international hope you can stick around for the next half hour as i go through those headlines in more detail 1st locked protests have swept across europe thousands hitting the streets in the weekend against covert restrictions violence broke out at times between protesters and the police.

european states have been putting their hopes of course on vaccines but manufacturers and a warning of massive delays covering that side of it our europe correspondent peter oliver. supply chain issues with vaccinations are causing headaches for e.u. officials we've heard from me even health commissioner acknowledging that there is a problem and saying that manufacturers need to provide some casting guarantees when member states will receive their jobs the leader of the irish government mccann martin has said there could be a delay in the vaccine roll out in his country due to the knock on effect of the delay that they're not getting the jobs from the vaccine manufacturers on time while the italian prime minister just sepic conte is accused vaccine manufacturers

of breach of agreement and putting lives at risk these delays in deliveries constitute serious contractual violations which cause enormous harm to italy and other european countries with direct repercussions on the life and health of citizens no astra zeneca puts every problem in enormous we're going to do it and i think the over 70 is more generally will be delayed because of our stress on 2. depends on these negotiations and earlier this month pfizer announced a 3 to 4 week delay in their vaccine arriving in a u. member states while astra zeneca the u.k. based manufacturer that vaccine could well be approved for use within the e.u. by friday of this week have said that there will be a 60 percent reduction in the number of vaccines arriving in european union member states in the 1st quarter of this year. well there is no shared jewel delay to the start of shipments of our vaccine should we receive approval in europe initial

volumes will be lower than originally anticipated due to reduced yields at a manufacturing site within our european supply chain this is prompted some nations to look elsewhere hungary has purchased enough doses of the russian sputnik v vaccine to inoculate 1000000 of its citizens budapest's saying they want vaccines not excuses about why they're not coming out on your book will be due to the slow delivery of the vaccine we were forced to find a new source in order to get fast slivery 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 sputnik very could well be set for approval for use across the european union by february the infrastructure to give out vaccines is in place in most member states the problem is they've not got the jobs to put in people's arms. he is coming into us this morning the construction of the vast north

stream to gas pipeline from russia to germany has been restarted after u.s. sanctions had forced its suspension the project should never completed by the summer is going to cross this big but it is that it goes down of a correspondence on its a morning ago so positive vibes coming from project chiefs that at last again well indeed kevin the russia's special by playing ship called for tuna has been spotted in the territorial waters of denmark which means it has resumed its work to lay the pipeline in those waters indus in defiance of the u.s. imposed sanctions now thing is the united states they have been trying to deal real this pipeline for a long time if completed it would allow russia to double the supply of natural gas that goes into germany right now. so with burleson being one of the main if not the main beneficiary of this project it has been saying that these sanctions they're

just part of foreign interference into a project that strictly between russia and europe. says we have to put everything on the table and talk about whether we want to have no more trade with russia in the gas sector or what kind of dependence is tolerable also things said extraterritorial sanctions at general are not acceptable from my point of view. as we've reported several times these the sanctions directed at german and european companies and we fundamentally opposed them. now this is not the 1st round of sanctions that the u.s. is using to try and deal rail this nordstrom project it's just the latest one and in fact they are so desperate to world cancel this project that they have included this particular ship this particular vessel called for tuna again onto this newest list of sanctions along with the company that owns it so essentially they are directly trying to prevent this vessel of working and you know constructing the

pipeline but so far of course. this vessel has resumed its work but this whole thing has little to do with political pressure and rather is more economic the u.s. pursuing its own economic goals and trying to push russia out of the market that the u.s. has its own interest in because the united states and washington they have been promoting this idea that europe should be buying natural gas from the united states and not from russia but the russian president vladimir putin has lately expressed hope that with a new president in the white house probably the u.s. would be more reasonable and more understandable of the economic world pursuits of other nations. i hope they didn't your administration of the united states would treat it like it's partly it's respect not be trying to

force them into neglecting their own national uterus and i hope to be the administration will work following the principle of fair competition. now these sanctions that the u.s. keep rolling out against companies and now just ships taking part in constructing nord stream too is their last ditch really and their last chance to stop nord stream 2 from happening because it is about 94 percent complete just to give you an idea as to how little the resolve to be done in the waters of denmark only 120 kilometers off the pipeline are left to be world laid and constructed and on top of that only 28 kilometers of the pipeline are left to be put in the german waters and from that moment well that the pipeline is complete and nothing can stop it from going operational so we'll see in the coming months the u.s.

will try and roll out more sanctions sanctions and more penalties against well companies who are trying to construct a north stream to as this fortuna ship is said to well finish its work in the waters of denmark by the end of may yeah absolutely massive project isn't it but for now work on it restarting on the last little bit keep us posted let's get on with it now this news in from italy are going to tell you about italy slapping a ban on tick tock users who haven't verified. for a 10 year old girl died in a riff it black challenge on the video sharing out the online game involves people choking themselves to temporarily pass but this is silly and youngster was found dead in a bathroom. getting at the end of the medics did everything they could to bring the child back to life but unfortunately although the heart immediately started beating again the brain had been starved of oxygen for too long due to the strangulation

after a few hours of irreversible comma we concluded she was brain dead. to talk assess that uses safety is a priority and it bans any dangerous behavior talian lawyer specializing in online cases told the social networks in his view must do much more. get i mean to laugh but clearly the story of this little girl is truly tragic it makes us reflect on the role of social networks in the lives of minors yes parents must pay attention and control their children but there must be social control of the constant the mind is can see on these networks a social network cannot just say a minor has stated that they are old enough to use the up they should check it if the very for cation a child accesses the platform and sees violent content the social network would be responsible in this case it's necessary to determine whether the tick-tock social network really has some responsibilities when this video of the child was actually viewed by tick-tock or not italian data protection authority has opened an

investigation begins to talk into this because it's trying to understand where the access to minors is actually legitimate and legal trouble. facebook's facing new privacy concerns after revelations that it gave the f.b.i. private messages of those who discussed storming washington's capitol building the intelligence agency revealed the information then as part of its probe into the journey through riots one such complaints been filed against new york resident christopher kelly facebook provided the f.b.i. with his log in history revealing that kelly had been around the capital on the day of the assault a warrant for his arrest has now been issued a further recent analysis reveals the vast majority of criminal cases filed by the u.s. justice department use social media information online data forms part of more than a 3rd of all convictions but house democrats are also demanding radical changes to from facebook twitter and you tube stop them being used to plan that criminal

underground host afshin rattansi was the one foreign questions at him for change as part of our channel's 10 year anniversary celebrations. over the years i've been blessed to a bit of a great president. and there's so many one i've interviewed jackie robinson the model of the caine. but the most emotional interview. was with the new york city cop. this cop. we booked him and i had a didn't know what the story was i just knew that he was on the new york city police force and that he was shot. in an incident in central park and he was in a wheelchair and and paralyzed for life and he had a little child who he couldn't feel so sweet years old there was a series of a bike that fs in central park. some people were stealing bikes and he was on

patrol driving in a squad car with his fellow patrol and they spotted this black kid with a brand new schwinn bike. and he got out of a car and was approaching a kid and the kid shot his shot. he really didn't feel pain he remembered a puff of smoke coming out of this thing the him of the falling down remember the ride in the ambulance they gave him the last rites of the catholic church and he thought he was going to die anyway survived but he paralyzed that down his with his wife was pregnant at the time he wondered why did this boy shoot. and the boy was in jail and when as a minor he was 17. when he was in for attempted murder. i don't know what the sentence was but anyway he went to visit the kid. and the kid came out in the cells meeting and he said to the kid why did you shoot me. and the kid said.

i've been saving to despotic for 4 years and work to do it with those shoes. in a student. finally got my bike. and you with the 10 tops to stop me to. the top to stop me what are you doing with this boy would you have stopped me if i were white. absolutely had to think about it and just the perk that we have a think about it. made him understand is a kid stopped 10 terms of course he had a new bike just because he was bored and frustration. and.

there. the tough. became the kids big brother. any government in jail. and the kid came. up 1000. britons facing fundamental challenges right now ranging from some of his worst covert figures in the pandemic to post bricks at trade hold ups are now on top of that downing street spin a hit with another major headache after the scottish national party's unveiled the road map to a referendum setting out a pathway to independence. if it is m.p. when the scottish election and after months training or the proposition of giving the people that choice they or democrat you're right and in that we have that the pro independence party says that if it wins a parliamentary majority the elections show jewel for may as soon as the pandemic

ends it wants a plebiscite on ending the union the s.n.p. added that any legal challenge from britain's government will be quote vigorously opposed british prime minister boris johnson's repeatedly stated his opposition of course to another referendum after the one that happened in 2014 but nevertheless a new poll suggests an independence vote is favored by scots we got opposing views about it from the former scottish m.e.p. david coburn and 1st the s. and p's angus macneil. not the consent of westminster the most important yet what is important is the extent of the scottish people and establishing the legitimacy of their view that's why westminster is very anxious to keep so we from the ballot box is what we asked that question and established and the and that's why westerners that were voted to send will not egypt because the if you and they view the scottish people through the ballot box. that's why we should be using the ballot boxes and need to start. and westminster whether they do or they don't want

scottish independence can't go on disagreeing with the people in a democratic nation and that mission statement is a new you know at the moment and introduce a new one after the other and the scottish people want to leave that union and become an independent country not be a democrat or iceland the only other normal country a vast majority of people in scotland are against having it at all because of the problems and not only that but we had one recently and we decided that we were going to remain in the union so the whole thing has been decided for generation the scottish national party should want to keep on pressing and pressing and pressing but the people me pause. for the scottish national party but that doesn't mean to say they're going to vote for independence in the referendum every time it comes to a referendum or discussing the matter people want to stay united kingdom because an independent scotland is an economic catastrophe for scotland. finally for now

if pissing kokoda little during her neighbors rooster ruffled feathers in france is going to be hard to stop a new future the french senate has just approved a bill to make it more difficult to soup people over countryside sounds and smells a charlatan bensky has been finding out. city life can be so hard so many cause so many people so much noise it's just all chilled much yes that's better hardly any cause no people to be seen and saw tranquil just soak that in. how does it what it is that no. i won't be joking i love the countryside but it seems so many can move people in the city for the so-called good life the charm wears off they have been complaints that frogs are meeting to noisily roosters crowing tough no voice is in the morning

and the cows are smelly while the church bells are also a bit of a nuisance we met with one farmer in newman who experienced similar problems. it was about a year ago my neighbors moved to our region and they asked me whether our animals live here year round because they found the noise of sheep intrusive i told them the sheep are being grazing here for 20 years and there's no way i'll drive them to another place because here i have enough land to feed them i think they just get used to other noises engines subways car horns the sound of countryside life is new to them so i told them it's a matter of habit and 6 months time you won't notice them. so what do locals make of city dwellers who come here and complain so stupid either they are stupid the village is what it is what it sounds animals bells and if people come here and they don't like it then they should go back and leave us alone this is a land that you any malice in 6 noises all this is the beauty of nature if they can't leave with that they should stay in the big cities and only come to the

countryside on holidays in fact some french regions have already taken matters into their own hands one department in britain we decided to add a clause to house purchase contracts the beneficiaries declare that they are aware of activity. these professional or otherwise of any nature exercise in the environments around in the building susceptible to cause of factory visual or other difficulties well now they are being backed up after years of legal wrangling france's senate has indorsed a bill that would make complaints about well that troll countryside noises much harder a bill to define and protect the sensory heritage of the french countryside was adopted by parliament a posthumous victory for the merissa a symbol of reality because our rural territories and not just landscapes these are also the sounds smells activities and practices that are part of our heritage and that is to people's ears here. i am happy about the new law i think the countryside

should remain countryside if people don't like our way of life they can leave in cities to defeat this has to be done i recently heard about a farmer who was forced to bury poland because toes there are making too much noise the plant has been there for years but the corps decided it needs to be burned because of the newly arrived people the warning is that if you move to the countryside you'd better be prepared to get up close and personal with the real neighbors charlotte. ever. you know you're about city life when country life gets on your wicket but so i think looking from moscow so far this monday kevin i was starting off at 25 an hour of minutes past 11 moscow time of a great day.

when else seemed wrong. but all. just don't call. me. yet to shape out just the attitude and engagement because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. right now there are. people who are overweight or obese it's profitable to self. and sugary and salty and addictive it's not at the individual level it's not individual willpower and if we go on believing that never change this obesity epidemic that industry has been influencing very

deeply the medical and scientific establishment. so what's driving the obesity epidemic it's. been 2040 you know bloody revolution of you tube clips the demonstrations going to be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just the lawyer here put him in your list put video of gloom in the neighbor lose out on you split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2014. of those who took. invested over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic.

glow in welcome the crossed up we're all things are considered beautiful both those of us who watched. carefully the russia gate hoax always worried that it would eventually become the foundation for policy the biden ministration has done exactly this and what to do when trump supporters are american liberals embracing the soviet experience.

to discuss these issues and more i am joined by my guest kennings an employment he's the editor and founder of the 21st century wire and here in moscow we're joined by dimitri bobbitt she is a political analyst and editor and you know internet media project telling cross up rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated when i was going to patrick in plymouth well abidin ministration is started its foreign policy approaches 0 and of course russia is as always close to the top for some reason and those of us didn't watch the russia gate hoax over these years we always lamented as i said in my introduction that it would bleed into policy well it is done that ok well we we have mixed signals i mean we can talk about the 5 year extension on the new start treaty that's about to expire next month which is good news and we always cheer for good news but i wonder if there's going to be linkages because we still have this rhetoric of russia interfering

meddling in american politics so it's never spoken out like that allow that the united states medals in every country's internal politics here so a mixed bag patrick but as i like to i'd like to stress is that this fictitious story russia gate has bled into policy and that's something that we all worried about go ahead with something that we were warning about from the very beginning is the danger of allowing a sort of official conspiracy theory to permeate into you know public life into the national discourse and of and ultimately into for. foreign policy those were the most dangerous part of it and that's very regrettable unfortunately and i think this the fact that none of this actually makes sense from a logical point of view and it's purely based on power politics internal u.s. power politics this doesn't really bode well for the united states.
