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 a republican have to deal with it 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

place in most member states the problem is they've not got the jobs to put in people's arms. so news today russia's anti doping agency will not challenge the court of arbitration for sports 2 year ban on the country taking part in major international sporting events it's despite as well. to a flawed and one sided assessment of the facts those said let's get latest on this fair bit to come on the input frank of 1st of all our correspondent tell us a bit more exactly that roger had to have to say about this. kevin hi again well it could be that we've finally reached the end of the so-called russian doping scandal for moscow this isn't the worst case scenario but isn't the best case scenario either well after the court of arbitration for sport or cas turned down an appeal against

a 4 year ban of the russian sport and its full status the russian side still had an option to challenge that decision and the swiss supreme court but it decided not to go for it i can tell you that recently cas reduced the baton from 4 to 2 years during which we still won't see the russian flag or hear the russian anthem adp such major sport events ask for instance the upcoming summer olympic games in tokyo this year or the winter olympic games in beijing in 2022 and the world cup in qatar in 2022 as well the russian anti-doping agency or rw saddam maintains that it's not guilty of the manipulations it's being accused of but it wants to turn the page and begin work to finally restore the proper status and its full rights. we should 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 respondent during the reinstatement process and which has been again expressly acknowledged by wanda. after years of the so-called russian doping scandal when the authorities were accused of running a doping program one of the officials to restore the russian anti-doping agency in its proper status was that the russian side was supposed to hand over the laborde 3 data on the test samples of the russian athletes to the world anti-doping agency and once that handover happened wada said that it found manipulations with the database plus at that time the international anti-doping officials said that they

were in possession of a copy of the moscow aboard 3 database from a whistleblower i can tell you that the russian side though says that a while the international anti-doping officials had loads of time to study all that data in fact they were doing it for almost a year the russian side that didn't have enough time to do the same thing to produce a proper response and its defense plus the russians are saying that they never received or got access to the copy of the database from the whistleblower which they say isn't a fair thing and the course of the trial. it was unable to verify the authenticity and integrity of the data received from the whistleblower on which want to rely on it to support its case i'd like i said the russian anti-doping agency isn't going to further challenge the punishment that they now received so

far but at the same time they are happy about the fact that the 4 year ban has been reduced to 2 years and also they're welcoming the decision by cas to make sure that there's no collective punishment and that innocent russian path leads will still be able to compete and that's something that happened despite fresh pressure from some of the western anti-doping authorities. for instance calling on that proper. large for your ban and also there were individuals that called for collective punishment as well so this is what it looks like so far and again no further challenges coming from the russian side all right well thanks for bringing us up to speed there with it to try and get the motor sports columnist on the line here make impressive a job i suppose looking at it the cups not. see it's half full it could have been

worse is this in the best interest now to say look the argument to go round in circles for such a long time ok it's 2 years is better than 4 let's get through that hopefully better times will come it's good for who it's good for the athletes is it. yes i haven't actually but i do because i mean it is. good to see you and you situation or smooth like see. she's competing on your own florida same with every other national team going to see them competing in this interrupt and should they win because it is a ringback great privilege. to get 2 years reduction from 4 which even did 4 year or even 2 since up is very unfair senor fair however it does set an example now we will be followed up by the world anti-doping because right

now we're expecting the appeal of the salazar an american the courts of the nike go in case there is was huge corruption that reaches all across the atlantic sue cole i mean there's a human about seats for most of our and in in like it the case and sit with that show and their hall and this we had the operation out of us not straight where any one singles like this was jailed or look don't think we were in this case which of course they are using to release the names of the soccer players like us and tennis players who don't think it's dangerous to go in so all we can say that this is the end for now when you can bet your bottom dollar or your last coke that there will be more tickle from usada because they are desperate desperate to rule and take that in the gravy train or go in wonder troll because we don't always

hold out you know the olympics might not go ahead this year looking very unlikely that it will send a couple sports 'd who are discussing that the likelihood of money major events made no sense so i think for now we'll wait for the reaction for saluted the big hitters usada case it's airing in the morning in america they will come out with a steak today denning pass saying that this is all their own tina and so on of course a little troubling stones in their own glass house because it makes that little clean. look into the future which is all you can do at the moment we know what's been said but all the arguments that are gone backwards and forwards for such a long time now how is it left russian athletes what kind of state mentally are they in they you know how are they going to deal with the next 2 years have not a great rush not something that very few people are asking right of course you know spotless mind times in their ears. as well and you understand the whole situation

because their last week i did an interview with 2 already figure skaters and more results are asked of sports and i asked him how do you feel you know look at what's happening just even in terms of culverts because that of course taking the role as well these athletes they said well you know we compare we'll do our best now what i wanted to ask of on everybody and some of their what's it like when you were to receive your method in 2016 what we're not seeing here flying radio nowhere uniforms or they said you know we just go we go so mostly our teams are going to be hiked because remember a lot of them are looking to make money from this state get it get their salaries they want to get indorsements alternately an athlete is competing for here it's him or herself. or was very it was dangerous want to go there because so many of them who have not been part of an adult open whatsoever who want to compete and they are

p.t. no this is a chance for dent and show themselves and just want to say that stress was a please give them a chance let's do it lena ness or. on the great scale of things 2 years not too long i guess is it more for now thank you for your input nice to see the program have a good day. thank you now for the good news for russia and broady europe where are you there we are construction of the virus in order stream to gas pipeline from russia to germany is restarted after u.s. sanctions forced its suspension the project should now be completed by the summer covering that r.t.c. goes down off. a special pipe laying a 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 de reeling this whole project now if russia is to

succeed and 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 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. they consider these extraterritorial 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 lure ring 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 world play a more fair game when it comes to other countries become nomic pursuits dushku. i hope that in your administration of the united states would treat its partners its allies with respect would not be trying to force them into neglecting their own national interests and i hold to be the administration will work following the principle of fair competition so the work on the pipeline has resumed completely 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 there is less to be well done and constructed this fortuna vessel is expected to lay only 120 kilometers of the pipeline in the danish waters or 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 of the project. italy slapped a ban on tick top users who haven't verified their age of 3

a 10 year old girl died in horrific blackout challenge on the video sharing app the online game evolves people choking themselves to temporarily pass but the sicilian youngster it seems took it way too far she was found dead in her bathroom. carrying that diana flap 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 cama who concluded she was brain dead. to talk insists that uses safety is a priority and bans any dangerous behavior but in italian lawyer specializing online cases told us social networks must do much more to 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

concept 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 after very for cation a 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 italian data protection authority has opened an investigation against talk into this because it's trying to understand whether access to minors is actually legitimate and legal. it's 20 past the hour thank you for watching out international today were a few children around the world this is coming up another fight for freedom of speech and for $100.00 new bill that will make it harder for a city to ellis to silence countryside voices when they're trying to well it's a rights develop they will tell you more about it in just a shake up to the lamb's tail.

look at the rest the 70. delegates. record books. 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 as part of its probe into the january 6 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 capitol with their the assault a warrant for his arrest has now been issued recent analysis reveals the vast majority of criminal cases filed by the u.s.

justice department use social media information online data forms part more of the form as part of more than a 3rd of all convictions indeed but house democrats are also demanding radical changes from facebook twitter and you tube to stop them being used to plan criminal activity we put roger k. and internet lawyer yaya cohen together to get their thoughts. the social platforms are under pressure anyway to change or they're there are we're going to get 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 also the social media platform to sell struggling for a rule in the future are changing so i think it's a different environment than it was before january so what's interesting is section 230 that so far protecting these platforms 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 very reluctant to touch their content want to because it slows down the velocity of their content and 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 side. finally from our passing cock a doodle doo of a neighbor's resistor ruffling feathers in france is going to be harder to stop in future the french said it's approved a bill to make it more difficult to sell the people of the countryside sounds and smells. 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 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 there are many who move here from the city to the so-called good life the charm wears off they have been complaints that frogs are meeting to noisily roosters crowing the top no voices 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 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 was writing 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 the locals make of city dwellers who come here and complain is so stupid either they are stupid or

the village is what it is with 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 live 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 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. 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 court 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 even. ever. know stifling nature a that's where the news is looking so far thanks for watching and have a good day. it

. seemed wrong. just don't hold. me to. get to shape out just because to add to it and in the game because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. i.
