a reliable vaccine we have concluded a treaty today under which russia will deliver a vaccine to hungry in 3 stages. on construction of the north stream to gas pipeline regimes despite u.s. sanctions with taking a stand against foreign interference and also this is really cracks down on tape for a 10 year old italian girl dies filming a blackout tally of the popular social network. hello good afternoon you're watching r.t. international just gone 2 o'clock in the russian capital lockdown protests have swept across europe and in the netherlands thousands hit the streets at the weekend against heightened coby district broke out between protesters and police.

but as you saw from these pictures the police fired water cannon as protesters refused to leave and started throwing projectiles around 100 demonstrators were arrested the rallies were sparked by the government's extension of lockdown

restrictions for the 3 weeks and also said it was considering a curfew that the prime minister condemn the rights is criminal violence or thousands also marched across spain and denmark with dozens arrested their protests today were tired of authorities mismanagement of the crisis and things also turn violent with clashes with police meanwhile european states had pinned their hopes on vaccines to ease the pandemic but some manufacturers and i warning of massive delays our europe correspondent peter all of us has more on the story. 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 cast iron 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 is 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's saying they want vaccines not excuses about why they're not coming forward 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 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. now russia's anti doping agency will not challenge the court of arbitration for sport 2 year ban on the country taking part in major international sporting events that is despite decider pointing to a flawed and one sided assessment of the facts with more is in it. it could be that we 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 ads such major sport events ask for instance the upcoming summer olympic games in tokyo this year or the winter olympic games in beijing and 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 the result it considers that this decision

not only contravenes basic principles of fairness but is also warranted in lots of the significant progress made by responder 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 and its proper status was that the russian side was supposed to hand over the border tree data. on the test samples of the russian athletes to the world anti-doping agency and once that handover happened water said that it found manipulations with the database and so this was something that eventually led to the punishment against the russian team 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 whistle blower i can tell you that the russian side though says that 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 it 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 that copy of the database from the whistleblower which they say isn't a fair thing and the course of the trial result was unable to verify the authenticity and integrity of the data received from the whistleblower on which was to be learned to support its case however despite all that the russian side is accepting the decision even though it disagrees with some of the conclusions but the russians are happy that it's a 2 year ban instead of a 4 year ban and besides this is welcoming the approach towards innocent russian

athletes that will still be able to compete and they're happy about the fact that there is no collective punishment so like i said no further appeals from russia the punishment stays as it is as it's been ruled by cas 2 years and following that this could be the end of it finally. ok let's get it though it's not about it's that kashmir he's a sports and me expert in spain following this case for years and i say that because we have respect to many times that is. what are your thoughts he has resigned and made the right decision not to challenge this 2 year. i don't think any of the decision to make andrew there's no choice here it could conceivably have gone to the swiss courts but it would have had to produce new evidence which it doesn't have all perhaps point to some kind of technical inaccuracy or the fact

that the court of arbitration didn't follow procedures correctly or something like that but i don't really think there's much hope so i think the decision was pretty much made for it and in any case quite frankly as i said before christmas when the court decision was made this is a result for russia resized has to take it on the chin but it's only a 2 year ban it was reduced from 4 years remember 4 years is still the most severe punishment ever in the history of sport 2 years it is still quite severe but nevertheless at this time in history i think russia is quite sensible just to say we're maintaining our innocence we don't agree with that but we're taking on the chin i suppose the big question now is there is does this now draw a line under the whole saga. well it thinks it does not so sure. well the pinion is against russia let's not kid ourselves here everybody's looking for russians to make

a mistake of some order. and i think you know the very fact that it has been declared there's non-compliant results in the stigma so i think anybody who's interested in politics in sport is now looking for russia just to make some kind of slip up however minor and the world of sport will come down on it like a ton of bricks but my guess is that this perhaps won't be the complete end of the saga but i have no way of knowing for the twists on the road i think it's fair to say that this is the end of this phase of the saga the court of arbitration has delivered this result responder has accepted it let's see what the future holds one thing i think that russia have been delivered to favor here it's been stopped from bidding for any future world sporting events for the next couple of

years that is a blessing i was going to say a blessing in disguise but i think if you asked the tokyo organizers of the olympic games or the wimbledon organizers or the footboard uro's organizers there will probably say we're better off without it i think that probably would be you know this at this time in history i don't think anybody wants to stage global events in sport looking on or on the bright side here i mean are we seeing a clean break for russia in the sense that this whole scandal involved many athletes who've now retired or named and shamed them banned we now have a whole new generation of new younger athletes coming 3 g. think. as i was trying to say this is a clean break say do you think these athletes. be treated without stigma law how do you see death each year i don't think so andrew i think the very fact that they come from russia carries a stigma now this is been a humongous case i mean this is one of the biggest in the history of sport perhaps

the biggest you know after the armstrong case and then the 1st thing if a cycling team. scanned or owned before that the ben johnson case this is been bigger than any of them so the very fact that they come from russia carries a stigma and it will do for the next several years but the fact is this that they are allowed to compete as independent athletes neutral athletes as they're being called on the condition that they can prove that they're clean and i think that they just have to content themselves with that for the next couple of years ok alison good to talk to or good to talk to have a set of cashmore sports and media expert thanks for coming on. your. construction of the vast gas pipeline from russia to germany has restarted after u.s. sanctions had forced its suspension the project should now be completed by the summer with nor his equal should done. 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 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 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 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 you washington is trying to push out a competitor russia out of a 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 hold the new administration of the united states will treat its partners its allies with respect and will not be trying to force them into neglecting their own national interests and i hope that when your administration will work following the principle of 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 left to be well done and constructed this fortuna vessel is expected to lay only 120 kilometers of the pipeline in the danish waters that 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. now italy has slapped a ban on tick talking users who haven't verified their age charter a 10 year old girl died while trying to complete a dare on the video sharing app the online game called the blackout challenge involves people choking themselves to temporarily pass out however the youngster was found dead in her bathroom. carrying that diana for 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 chama we concluded she was brain dead or take help doesn't says that use the safety is a priority and bans any dangerous behavior natalia noire specializing in online

cases says that social networks must think much more get maimed lost 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 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 to talk into this because it's trying to understand whether access to minors is actually legitimate and legal will still accompany this hour

dares thinks. we dare to ask. those of us who watch carefully the russia gate hoax. it will eventually become the foundation of the by the ministry is going to be what to do with transporters or american liberals for raising this. welcome back my 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 probably been to the riots earlier this month or one such complaint has been filed against new york

resident christopher kelly facebook provided the f.b.i. with his log in history revealing they kelly had been around the capitol on the day of the assault a warrant for his arrest has now been issued recent analysis reveals through the vast majority of criminal cases filed by the u.s. justice department use social media information and online data does form part of more than a 3rd of all convictions but house democrats are also demanding radical changes from facebook twitter a new chief to stop them being used to plan criminal activity technology expert roger k. and internet lawyer and discussed who they think should be held responsible. the social platforms are under pressure anyway to choose are there 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 all 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 us 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 not 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. i find the pacing cock a doodle doing i've been a busy ruffle spent those in france it will now be hard to stop because the french senate has just approved a bill to make it more difficult to sing people aver countryside sounds and smells shell of the bin scale expects. 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. 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 for the so-called good life the charm wears off they have been complaints that frogs are meeting to noisily roosters crowing 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 farmer in newman who 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'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 feeder 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 isn't the genie mouse 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. professional or otherwise of any nature or 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 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 chos 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. past 2 in the afternoon in moscow thanks for your company today we're back again at the top of the. l. word for word to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the 1st law should your identification we should be very careful about artificial intelligence the point of view c. is to trace transfer every other than fear. inflate our
