no. it's ok. i the headlines right back antilock time protests across europe after coded restrictions it's all right and it comes after countries place a shortfall in deliveries of coded fax or use the supplier astra zeneca the latest aborn it can only provide 60 percent supported it promised prompting some states to look for alternatives. and were forced to find a new source in order to get forces to liberate a reliable vaccine we have concluded a treaty today under which russia will deliver a vaccine to hungry in 3 stages of construction of the north stream 2 gas pipeline

regimes despite u.s. sanctions with berlin taking a stand against foreign interference and italy cracks down on ticks off after a 10 year old girl dies filming a black challis shared by the popular social network. good evening just gone 5 o'clock in moscow you're watching r.t. international now lockdown protests have swept across europe in the netherlands thousands hit the streets weekend against tightened restrictions and violence broke out between protesters and police.

eh. eh eh eh i. was police far more to kind and then his protest has refused to even started throwing projectiles around a 100 demonstrators were arrested the rallies were sparked by the government's extension of drop down restrictions for the free weeks before said it was considering a curfew that's prime minister they condemned the riots as criminal violence of thousands also marched across spain denmark to dozens of arrests their protest and shouted they were tired as authorities mission management of the crisis has also

turned violent clashes big leagues. meanwhile european states had pinned their hopes on vaccines to ease the pandemic but some manufacturers and i warning of severe delays our europe correspondent peter all of a has more to tell us. 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 on 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 its what we can have to do with it i think the over 70 is more generally will be delayed because of our stress onto. the pins of 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 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. 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. and the construction of the fast north stream to 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 dan of brings us up to speed. a special pipe playing vessel called for tuna has been spotted in the territorial waters of denmark and 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 railing 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 berlin 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 that effectively you 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 world play a more fair game when it comes to other countries become nomic pursuits. i hold the new administration of the united states will treat its. it's allies with respect and will not be trying to force them into neglecting their own national interests and i hope then your 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 left to be well done and constructed this fortuna vessel is expected to lay only 120 kilometers of the pipeline in the danish waters 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. and meanwhile the russian president has responded to the widely watched video from the opposition to get election avanti claiming that he owns a looks juris palace compound on the black sea coast putin dismissed the claims as old rumors and speculations let's get more now from our senior correspondent rick if he joins us in studio. 90000000 people have seen this video apparently so far but this is the 1st time the president has talked about it just take us through what he said well 90000000 people and went out everywhere i mean everyone picked up on this with the foreign press you know western press the had a field day about

a 100000000000 ruble just to just move a 1000000000 euro perilous complex built for the for the russian president and this was the year either this went every. and now finally vladimir putin has responded to these allegations and he said you know many expect it is he has nothing to do with this policy it is neither he's nor does it belong to any family member and all too badly that everybody's shouting this much ado about nothing. i want to answer your question right away nothing dennis indicated there is my property it does not belong to me or my close relatives and never did he put it all together and decided to brainwash our citizens with all these materials. this is the 1st time the loudmouth putin himself address this this film put together by the

violin his associates but it is the timing of the release of this film is also very interesting because it was released just after nonviolently was arrested upon arriving to russia at the airport for violating the terms of his suspended sentence he's now he's now awaiting. a court to see what what punishment if there will be one but there was you know an effort to sort of this destabilize the country that is what. the president's post person has said that this movie this field is an effort to destabilize this. and political situation in russia and certainly after that video was posted we then saw protests across the country so what did mr putin say about that well the protests across the country i mean you you you mentioned yourself over 90000000 views they did not translate into

a presence on the streets in in moscow city of 12000000 there are about 10000 protesters came out it wasn't pretty i mean even now in russia mass gatherings as they are in much of the world there and you know if fresh concerts nothing like that and said you have 10000 people congregating and shouting and shoving and pushing in the middle of moscow and came to a head it came to clashes with police there assaulted cars drivers several. people injured 3000 people arrested really huge number all over russia but again the main demonstrations were in moscow what's interesting. about these demonstrations is a huge presence of children of kids 10 year olds 11 year olds 13 year olds with their because it's because it's you know it's he. 'd didn't think talk they

saw it on facebook they saw it in the various apps on instagram calls for kids and targeted kids to go out join these protests. anything outside the law is not only country productive it's also dangerous you cannot involve minors participating in unlawful actions. landed near putin and. children's protection officials in russia they also denounced all these calls this concentrated effort mass effort by the opposition to get kids minors involved the needs are in these protests and they've been likened to you know you doing this is be likened to terrorists using kids and women. to hide by the user as human shields which allowed me putin and other officials has said is simply irresponsible

and will be tolerated nevertheless the opposition babs hoping for a bigger turnout because these by by all appearances this wasn't what they wanted this wasn't the number of people that they expected to come out in support of election in the valley they've organized another protest now slated for the 31st of january. ok and of course we'll be covering that thanks maria that was artie's move against the. or the russian president has also been commenting on the country's code situation today also and it looks like there could be some light on the horizon we updating you on that a bit later on in the program. 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's despite broussard appointing to

a fraud one sided assessment of the facts reporting next is our seize 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 resummon to consider is that this decision not only contravenes basic principles of fairness but is also warranted in lots of the significant progress made by rosado 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 board 3 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 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 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 whistle blow on which want to rely on it 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 when we spoke more about this with yes sports media expert at his cashmore and also with alan moore who's

a sports writer and broadcaster. by seemed to decision it was either to take it not to continue appealing i think it's it's very good common sense it's various humane it's athlete center and also it's making statements age you know what we put our hands and say yet there were issues here we are dealing with then we've dealt with them and we're moving forward so i think that it's a good show partnership between. and this is what we really need this time to try and eliminate the people like change of its own who are so involved in. it just to get rid of this force and to make it better for the express artist as to take it on the chin but it's only a 2 year bad it was reduced from 4 years remember 4 years is still in of the most severe punishment ever in the history of sport to yearth it is still quite severe but nevertheless at this time in history i think russia was quite sensible just to

say we're maintaining our innocence we don't agree with that but we're taking on the chin watching us a going to take a quick break now we'll be back thank intimidates. join me every thursday on the alex salmond and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see of that. the world is driven by dreams shaped by those with.

their dares thinks. we dare to ask. those of us who watch carefully the russia gate hoax. it will eventually become the foundation for policy by the ministry is going to be if you want to do with france or borders or american liberals for raising this so you. welcome back an arctic talk has slapped a ban on its uses you haven't verified their age after a 10 year old girl died while trying to complete a day on the video sharing app the online game called the blackout challenge involves people choking themselves to temporary pass out however the youngster was

found dead in her bathroom. 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 it reversible coma who concluded she was brain dead or takes hope doesn't sis that uses safety is a priority in bans any dangerous behavior but in the tally lawyer specializing in online cases says that 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 up they should check it if very for cation

a child access is 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 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 people be. like oh these restrictions could sing gradually be lifted in moscow and elsewhere in russia the president says it's been made possible by forwarding infection rates with more is more if an auction. russia has been living under lockdown and lead to different pentatonic restrictions since april and now finally the situation starts getting back to normal stabilising the authorities say it's still a long way to go but at least the dynamic is positive these are the official numbers in the last 24 hours for the 1st time since november less than $20000.00

cases registered across russia it's time to begin lifting some of the restrictions president vladimir putin says the. situation in the country is gradually stabilizing the number of new infections is decreasing this allows us to cautiously lived the restrictions and all this with mass vaccination in full swing here in russia and more and more people getting immunity to the virus the situation here in the russian capital is getting back to to this what we hear from this city mayor city so badly and with the numbers of new cases daily go in down schools and colleges resume in person classes universities are to follow within the next 2 weeks restaurants and bars closed after 11 pm but theaters in cinemas are open with 50 percent seating but still an masks on hand sanitizers and blogs are still our best friends here we must use them in public places we expect some of these restrictions to be lifted soon but as widely reported inside it should be done grey

daily and while watching the numbers closely meanwhile almost every country in the world is likely to see the biggest increase in inequality for a century and a stark assessment of the effects of the pandemic commonwealth international does it is the most risk you stand to be the worst affected. during the pandemic that 10 billionaires made half a trillion dollars in that in that period which would be enough to prevent anybody across the world from being pushed into poverty and would be enough also to pay for a vaccine for everyone at the other end of the spectrum we know millions of people have lost jobs livelihoods a roof over their heads so the contrast is enormous so the wealthy end of the scale then the world's richest have already recoup their pandemic losses but it is a very different story for the planet's poorest for them is going to take a decade to recover oxfam also says the number of people living in poverty globally

may have increased by hundreds of millions last year charity's head of inequality policy tell me about why he wealthiest have enjoyed such a rapid reback. it was an issue here to stock markets back in march of last year when the pandemic 1st started since then the stock markets have been brooding on the richest people in the world hold most of their wealth in stocks and shares see their increase rapidly and just to put it in context after the financial crisis over 10 years ago it took 4 years for billionaire wealth to get back to where it was when the crisis hit this time it's taken the knowing moment so you see a boom time for billionaires world as we know ordinary people all around the world are facing the fear of the virus the fear of death and sickness but also losing their job soon the hunger that comes with that sort of very very different story at the bottom it seems immoral to oxfam and that billionaires should be making sorry

much money where i'm sorry watch is needed as we said today the cost of proximity everyone on earth could easily be covered if we were not serious in greece and britain are well emotionality just going to hop os 5 in the evening here moscow will be back again at the top of the.

right now there are. people who are overweight or obese it's profitable to self. and sugary insulting and addictive it's not at the individual level it's not individual well power 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. thanks guys or financial survival. when customers go buy your do stuff. then

else well reducing lower. that's undercutting not what's good for markets in fact good for the global economy. polow in welcome the crossed up we're all things are considered i'm peter lobo those of us who watch carefully the russian gate hoax always worried that it would eventually become the foundation for policy the biden ministration has done exactly bit and what to do when trying supporters or american liberals embracing the soviet experience.

to discuss these issues and more i am joined by my guess the killings that implement he is the editor in boner of the 21st century. and here in moscow we're joined by dimitri bobbitt she is a political analyst and editor and you know internet media project originally crossed up rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated when i was going to patrick can claim as well by did 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 russian gave 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.
