a 10 year old sicilian girl filming a blackout challenge for the popular social network. from russia just turned midday here the 25th of january my name is kevin and this is r.t. international i'm here for the next 30 minutes with our update them sort of this locked on protests sweeping across europe at the weekend thousands hitting the streets against tightened restrictions and violence broke out in places between those protesters and the police.

european states had pinned hopes on vaccines but manufacturers no warning of massive delays covering that today our europe correspondent peter all over. supply chain issues with vaccinations are causing headaches for e.u. officials we've heard from the e.u. 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 may come 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 come to 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 i think 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's no 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 saying they want vaccines not excuses about why they're not coming. 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 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 but a good news for russia and broadly europe today to tell you it's construction of the vast nord stream to gas pipeline from russia germany has been restarted after u.s. sanctions had forced its suspension the project should be completed know them by the summer so not long to go catch up on the latest developments he goes down of course for the on this one today i get a go as who is saying the positive vibes coming from the project chiefs no not too far to go to complete this thing well kevin indeed what's important a special pipe laying vessel called for tuna has been spotted in the territorial waters of denmark now why this is important it is because this particular ship along with the company that owns it what got on the list on the latest on the newest list of u.s. sanctions that are aimed at the reeling this whole project now if russia is to succeed. to complete this pipeline it would allow it to double the amount of

natural gas supplies to germany so with berlin being the main benefactor of all of this project it has been saying that these sanctions are effectively foreign interference into something that is strictly a subject of relations of russia and germany have a listen. it's. that i consider these extra territorial sanctions to be inappropriate. as we've reported several times these the sanctions direct to do german and european companies and we fundamentally opposed them. by putting this vessel and some other vessels in the region under the sanctions essentially it's not the 1st time when the united states are trying to just completely derailed the north stream to project and also russia is saying that it is political pressure and effectively washington is trying to push out a competitor russia out of the market washington itself finds quite

a lowering because washington has been promoting the idea for quite some time that europe should be buying natural gas from the united states and not from russia but according to the russian president vladimir putin he recently expressed hope of that with a new president in the white house washington maybe soon will become more understanding and well play a more fair game when it comes to the country's economic pursuits. you hope that in your administration of the united states he would treat it but its partners its allies would 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. so the work on the pipeline has resumed. in defiance and in spite of all the efforts and all the measures that washington is taking to

prevent it from happening just to give you an idea as to how little of the resolve to be well done and constructed this fortuna vessel is expected to lay only 120 kilometers of the pipeline in the danish waters of by the end of may and that would complete the project in the territorial waters of that country and from that moment on all that will be left is some 28 kilometers of the pipeline in the german territorial waters and that said and from that moment nothing can stop north stream 2 from going operational but obviously we'll have to see if washington will take any more last ditch efforts to world collapse the project is just so not long to go no it's been a huge project isn't it for russia and broader europe thanks for the update to go and talk of the year of our next story sounds of the 2 italy slapping a ban on tick talk users who haven't verified their age after

a 10 year old girl died in a riff thick black challenge on the video cheering up the online game revolves people choking themselves to temporarily pass out but the sicilian youngster was found dead in her bathroom carrying 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 karma who concluded she was brain dead. to talk insists that uses safety as a priority and bans any dangerous behavior but the talent lawyer specializing in online cases told us social networks must do much more. get a. laugh 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 op they should check it if verification of child access is the platform and sees violent content the social network would be responsible in this case is 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 the italian data protection authority has opened an investigation against to talk into this because it's trying to understand where the access to minors is actually legitimate and legal. facebook is 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 as part of its probe into the january 6 riots one such complaint has been filed against new york resident christopher kelley facebook provided the f.b.i. with his log in history revealing that kelly had been around the capitol on the day

of the assault a warrant for his arrest has now been issued in fact bigger picture recent analysis reveals the vast majority of criminal cases filed by the u.s. justice department use social media information online data form as part of more than a 3rd of all convictions but house democrats are also demanding radical changes from facebook twitter and you tube as well to stop them being used to plan criminal activity technology expert roger k. and internet lawyer cohen discussed too they thought should be responsible for online content these days. so if you plant one of the under pressure anybody to use your there there or we're going to get you have not been disciplined properly you know the guard pretty fast and loose with people's information and they're being cheated down there are trying. various federal authorities and others saying look you've got to come back into line. and also be social media platform to cells were

going to rule in the future are changing so i think it's a different environment than it was before doing research which is interesting to $16.00 to $30.00 that so far protecting these large warrants from being responsible for what's on their sites and there is kind of the understanding in u.s. lives that if you touch it you are on a platform to be doing real marking to touch their content one because he's slowed down the velocity of their content not with the live on and the other is once you touch it you own it and you become responsible for a blue content that's coming out of your son. you know in a few rushes antidoping agency will not challenge the court of arbitration for sport a 2 year ban on the country taking part of major international sporting events is to spite them pointing to a flawed and one sided assessment of the facts get speed on this than show any patrol because across this one. big news then what exactly did the say the bit more detail for us. kevin hey there well it could be that we finally reached the

final points of the so-called russian doping scandal because after the court of arbitration for sport turned down the russian doping agencies appeal against the bad art of russian sport we know that finally them at the end of the day russia had another chance another option that is to head to the swiss supreme court but decided not to go to that of them for that option so i can tell you that recent the cas reduced the battle of russian sport from. 4 years to 2 years which though still means that russia won't be able to compete as team russia at major sporting events in the next 2 years and that means that in this status it will miss out on the summer olympic games that are planned and tokyo for 2021 in the winter olympic games and that 2022 and beijing plus we won't hear the russian and german the

russian flag won't be flown at the world cup in qatar in 2022 should the russian team qualify for it now i can tell you that saddam considers this chapter to be over it wants to turn the page but it still believes that it's not guilty of the wrongdoings that it's been accused of we for the regret the result has been deemed noncompliance with the world anti doping code although it did not commit any wrongdoing as expressly acknowledged by wada result it considers that this decision not only contravenes basic principles of fairness but is also warranted in light of the significant progress made by responder during the reinstatement process and which has been again expressly acknowledged by water. just to remind you of what's been going on in the recent years with the the so-called russian doping scandal like i said after

years of it one of the conditions for the russian doe anti-doping agency rosado to be restored in its full status was to make sure that it hands over the data from the moscow laborde theory and so it did now again after the russian sporting authorities were accused of running a doping program when this handover was produced. eventually the world anti-doping agency which possessed a copy of the moscow laborde tree database accused the russian anti-doping officials of manipulating with that database and that led to the ban that was eventually announced but on the contrary when the trial happened when all these proceedings happened we understand that it took months and months almost

a year for the world anti-doping agency to examine massive amounts of data and this is what the russian side is pointing to right now because according to the usada it didn't have enough time to study all that data and produce a do response to it which it believes it's unfair plus they're saying that they have not received the access to that copy that vote washed up and initially obtained from the whistleblower. who so it was on the will to verify the authenticity and integrity of the data received from the whistle blow on which want to rely on it to support its case. at the same time though of course the russian anti-doping officials have welcomed the reduction of the ban from 4 years to 2 years and also they are welcoming the reasonable approach by the arbiters to make

sure that there are no collective sanctions and that innocent athletes will still able to take part in these major competitions despite the fact that we heard voices in the west in particular from the u.s. anti-doping agency that maintain that a 4 year band should be in place and in fact they did they did sorry call for collective punishment it's going to be a tough time just so nearly a full of those athletes for the next 2 years but a better times to come and if we're trying to fix a premiss up to speed thank you for watching at home as well let me tell you where we go coming up we're heading to a break next by the way that we call this a don't know another fight for freedom of speech in france that's what this is about a new bill that will make it harder for city dwellers to silence countryside voices more now than in a shake it to the lamb's tail. join

me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see

a bad call. past the police have fired tear gas at protesters in the u.s. city of portland against the country's deportation laws demonstrators they used to try to protect themselves and they confronted officers outside the immigration and customs enforcement facility in the city to follow similar protests to the same building shortly after president biden's inauguration is a snapshot of what went on. the right.

challenges of this is a different sort facing britain right now fundamental ones ranging from some of his worst covert thinkers of the pandemic on one side to post bricks in trade hold ups and now something else telling stories put it with another major headache after the scottish national party unveiled a roadmap to a referendum setting out a pathway to independence if. the scottish election and half human strain on 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 election shed 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 for mr boris johnson those already made his position clear on it repeatedly stating his opposition to another referendum the last one of course in 2014 a new poll nonetheless suggesting an independence vote is what's favored by scots we got opposing views about it from former scottish m.e.p. david coburn and 1st the s. and p's angus macneil. not the consent of westminster that's 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 very anxious to keep so we from the ballot box is what we asked that question an established and b. and that's why western is that we're fighting some will not eating because the if you and the view of 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 and disagreeing with the people in a democratic nation and that nation structuralism union at the moment and in 20 opinion polls one after the other and the scottish people want to leave the union and become an independent country not we're going back to what iceland the only other normal country a vast majority of people in scotland are against having and support 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 generate the scottish national parties want to keep on pressing and pressing and pressing but the people meet vote for the scottish national party but that doesn't mean to say they're going to vote for our independence or the referendum every time it comes to a referendum or discussing the matter people want to state that united kingdom because an independent scotland is an economic catastrophe for scotland. finally

for now on a lighter note if a piercing cock a doodle doo a neighbor's rooster ruffles feathers in france is going to be hard to stop in future the french senate has just approved a bill to make it more difficult to sue people over countryside general sounds and smells where they anyway. reports. city life can be so hard so many cause so many people so much noise it's just too much yes that's better hardly any cars new people to be seen and so tranquil just soak that in. how does it what is that no. i won't be joking i love the countryside but it seems so many people in the city for the so-called good life the charm wears off there have been complaints that frogs are meeting to noisily roosters crowing top

in the morning and the cows are smelly while the church bells are also a bit of a nuisance we met with one for my. experienced similar problems and it was a bentley 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 was right into 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 or 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 he says eleanor jenny miles 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 is a real ego wrangling france's senate doors the bill that would make complaints about well that trial countryside noise is much harder. a bill to define and protect the sensory heritage of the french countryside was adopted by parliament a posthumous victory for the rooster 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 but 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 live in cities to fit this has to be done i recently heard about a farmer who was forced to bury poland because toes there were making too much noise the point 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. ever known to. the sounds of the great outdoors they will offer much a big goodbye for me that's why things are looking so far from moscow this monday may day 26 the time here for me the tape of a great day would have you doing. is
