a new source in order to get fast liveried of reliable vaccine we have concluded a treaty today under which russia will deliver a vaccine to concrete in 3 stages. imo the new u.s. president pledges to speed up the vaccine rollout a public health agency chief admits they have no idea how much vaccine the country has several states report shortages. a very warm welcome from our team here in moscow you're watching r.t. international with me if you. are 3rd night of rioting has broken out in the netherlands have a curfew is being imposed to combat the spread of covert or this is right at right now we're showing you live pictures of crowds of mostly young protesters have been seen torching items setting off fireworks and rampaging through the streets there

4:03 pm
q. . the thousands all must also marched in spain and denmark with dozens of arrests protesters decrying what they see as the author of a tease mismanagement and a covert crisis things also turned violent with clashes and searing so many political commentator thomas fassbender and risk the expert professor david alexander talked to was about the simmering impatience across europe. we're experienced say a combination of certain cultural straights among western european populations that is strongly individual is not to live but libertarianism you could even say
4:04 pm
skepticism towards governments towards science on the one side and then object of political mismanagement governmental mismanagement which is partly due to or naturally the producers not being able to provide the capacities but if this is not only a fault of the producers this is also and we are discussing this in germany very intensely this is also simply the failure of government structures to cope with the situation so. this combination has gone toxic in a way that a certain percentage of the population is no longer willing taught to comply and to accept the rule was this needed to be taken more seriously on the face of it it was because government said this is one of the greatest risks we faced but they didn't really face up to it have they communicated well enough to explain to people worrying need to be patient have they provided the support to people who are
4:05 pm
desperate have they really understood. it so some of them actually defined what we're known for is absolutely fundamental to all of this especially for people who've seen their income completely or partially disappear so in fact if those things are in place there is perhaps less excuse for writing less reason for it and perhaps less opportunity to do it well meanwhile the european commission is demanding answers from british drug maker astra zeneca of a vaccine delivery to laze which could be down by as much as 60 percent of the manufacturer is also warning of severe delays correspondent peter all of us has 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 casting guarantees when member states will receive their jobs the leader of the irish government may
4:06 pm
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 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 our midst what we're going to do with it i think the over seventy's 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.
4:07 pm
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's saying they want vaccines not excuses about why they're not coming out on your book 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
4:08 pm
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. the u.s. federal government doesn't know how many coronavirus vaccine doses are they liberal in the country that admission came from the head of the centers for disease control and prevention in a fox news interview where she also said securing supplies is the biggest problem right now tell of more people reports. well the united states is currently surpassed the grim milestone of $25000000.00 covert infections plus 420000 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic it's quite grim situation with people continuing to get coated 19 people continuing to die due to
4:09 pm
the pandemic and now at this point we do have the newly appointed director of the centers for disease control talking about the fact that the u.s. federal government is in the dark about how much of the vaccine is available take a listen i would say one of the biggest problems right now is i can't tell you how much vaccine we have and if i can't tell it to you then i can tell it to the governors and i can tell it to the state health officials now thousands of appointments for vaccinations have been canceled across the united states due to a lack of vaccine supply at this point here in new york there have been 23000 vaccine appointments that have been canceled in virginia there was a hospital that canceled 10001st dose appointments in south carolina there was a hospital that canceled 6000 vaccine appointments after it received only 450 doses in hawaii there was a hospital that canceled 5001st dose appointments and now we've got governors from
4:10 pm
across the united states basically demanding the new administration help them and figure out how this problem can be resolved our biggest problem is really simple it's a lot go back. and i know every other state has the same problem we have so many distributors we can't supply them and you will see distributors who run out of supply the new administration of joe biden has promised to vaccinate one $100000000.00 people within its 1st $100.00 days to achieve a rate of $1000000.00 vaccinations per day but that rate has already been achieved by the trumpet ministration and far exceeded in some areas we had. a higher rate on some days of vaccinations now this was the response when this was pointed out this is jens psaki the white house spokesperson none of us are mathematicians myself included so i asked our team to do a little math on this so the term the administration they minister in total about $17000000.00 shots that's about less than 500000 shots
4:11 pm
a day what we're proposing is to double that to about $1000000.00 shots per day so it appears that the new administration does not know exactly how it is going to solve this problem of not adequate vaccine supply meanwhile the infection rate continues to rise across the united states quite a serious situation the head of the washington pain center told is that pre-election promises don't always become reality but it is a real disconnection between the government which obviously responsible and the suppliers such as pfizer mcgurn and other there are bugle industry we should really be working hand in glove with respect to this pandemic that we have in across the planet i think what we need to do is ok let's focus on what the problem is now in terms of getting the supplier of these vaccines supply chain working out and patients who need to go 1st go 1st so that's nice to do
4:12 pm
a cheap shot but if it gets more poorly what are we going to do today and tomorrow political trauma center mean only campaign really don't pan out in terms of what you get behind the dentist and you have to really deliver with these patients. 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 on wealth oxfam international also says it's the most at risk who stand to be the worst affected. during the pandemic that 10 billionaires made half a trillion dollars 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 the wealthy end of the scale the world's richest have already recouped their pandemic losses but has
4:13 pm
a very different story for the planet's poorest for them it's going to take a decade to recover oxfam also says the number of people living in poverty globally may have increased by a hundreds of millions last year the charities head of inequality policy told as about why the wealthiest have enjoyed such a rapid rebound. it was an initial hit to stock markets back in march of last year when the pandemic 1st started since then the stock markets have been booming and the richest people in the world hold most of their wealth in stocks and shares see their core choose increase rapidly and just to put it in context all 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 using 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 sick nurse but also losing
4:14 pm
their jobs and the hunger that comes with that sort of very very different story at the bottom it seems immoral to oxfam and to all those that billionaires should be making sorry much money sorry launch is needed as we said today the cost of proximity everyone on earth could easily be covered if we were to not serious increase and billionaire world. the latest. article of impeachment against donald trump will be officially delivered to the senate on monday ahead of a historic 2nd trial of the former president will trump stands accused of inciting insurrection at the capitol on january the 6th it's been barely a year since his previous impeachment the trial itself was start for another 2 weeks sounds lawmakers have been tussling over the timing but democrats are pushing for a quick trial while the republicans try to hit the brakes saying it's important to insure jew process not
4:15 pm
a trans party is totally on the same page 10 house republicans voted for the impeachment if convicted trump could be barred from ever holding public office again well let's turn to legal expert jennifer demand for her thoughts on this now jennifer good to see as leverage to have you on some republican senators say it's unconstitutional to push forward impeachment charges against a president who's already left office the have they got a point. they do have a point under article 2 of the constitution the united states congress does have the power to bring impeachment proceedings and to have an impeachment trial to remove a federal officer including the president but when the president has already left office trump is now former president then as there's no constitutional basis in fact the only precedent where where these kinds of things as happened with the impeachment proceedings against a former officer was several 100 years ago and in that case the senate said no
4:16 pm
you're right we don't have we don't have a claim and so they dropped it so the president goes against in the constitution goes against of this is not constitutional is just another is that we're seeing again from the democrats and again now some and some of the republicans in congress how much of this latest trump impeachment saga do you think is a repair a piece splitting the republican party could it ever recover from this. i don't think the republican party is ever going to come back the way that it used to be the way that it was seen in what we call here the establishment republicans not only the republican party but the democratic party as well we've seen for of friction we've seen strife within the democrat party with. their protests in forest and some of her who are against nancy pelosi chuck schumer in the above but the republicans are irreparably scarred from this because people have woken up they are seen that they're seen some of the absolutely ridiculous accusations not only brought against a president from abroad against his supporters his followers the people who really
4:17 pm
got a lot of them in congress a lot of the republicans in office because they were following sean's lead on that and so these are people who are well to president that are feeling very just in franchise by the party that they supported by the party that they've advocated for and completely now thrown under the bus within within 5 days so what do you make of these reports that donald trump has been planning to a stop at his own political party how likely to think that is. well i think donald trump is not the only one the only one coming up and that i think he would be his name attached to a new party would actually probably be the best chance that we have. at having another party have any viable 3rd party i mean we had other parties such as the green party the independents and others but they really can't even make a gent and so what we've really just been run by democrat republican conglomerates and i think a lot of the american people frankly on both sides of the aisle over the past month or 2 are really upset with both they don't want either and we're not only looking
4:18 pm
at the viability of a 3rd party again if trump was to leave of course it would have a massive following from what we know of at least 74000000 votes but i think we're looking at a potential restructuring of some of the party partisan system in america as we know it because there are a lot more people a lot more opinions a lot of people starting to realize now i guess we have some of the same ideas on these things and i think the fracturing of the 2 main parties is with the legs of these riffs and and it is hopefully people are starting to wake up at times of thousands of national guard troops are still in washington and now scheduled to remain there until at least macho why they then. that's a great question i don't think anybody can answer that event mr biden as president biden himself i don't think anybody's been able to quite answer that of course we've had puniness go on and give their best guesstimates but really nobody nobody quite knows again you know the narrative the talking points would be that they're
4:19 pm
there for protection that's what they're there for other they're for protection in case there's any sort of uprising or security concerns or or what not but we've seen most of the people in congress otherwise not really wanting them there the mayor of d.c. has it really no of course some states brought some back but the question does remain why so i think there are a couple of things people can look into one what is the role of the department of defense is playing into this i think the american public has a lot of unresolved questions about what went on in this process what happened between early january even even to november 3rd but especially early january is he right now it seems a little off to some people people are asking questions and and so they're wondering what role if any that our troops are supposed to defend and protect us are going to play they're just trying to ensure that the security process goes well but also the department of defense and making sure that there's not more unrest with a lot of these unresolved and an audience or questions in especially a lot of these illegal and unconstitutional process he's still going on legal

experts in effect in moscow thank you for your time thank you. all construction all the all seem to gas pipeline resumes despite u.s. sanctions with palin taking a stand against foreign interference we've got our story and more coming up after this very short break stay with us. on one of the show seem wrong or just don't all. the world if you get to shape our business get educated and gain trade equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart if we choose to look for common ground.

summer artie's it goes dawn of brings us up to speed. 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 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 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 extraterritorial sanctions to be inappropriate. as we've reported is the rule times these the sanctions direct to do german and
4:23 pm
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 the country's economic pursuits. i
4:24 pm
hold the united states administration will treat its partners its allies with the. specked and will not try to force them into neglecting their own national interests and i hold that the new administration will work following the principle of fear 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 of the reserve to be world done and constructed this fortuna vessel is expected to lay only 120 kilometers of the pipeline in the danish waters a boy of mame 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 from that moment nothing can stop north stream 2 from going operate but obviously we'll have to see if

online cases those 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 content the miners 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 is necessary to determine whether the tick-tock social network really has some responsibilities with 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. covert restrictions could
