7:02 am
riot police were out on the streets of rotterdam onstott down the hague i'm tovan as well as many of the smaller towns and cities right across the netherlands as the country saw a 3rd night of violence with people looting rioting burning cars and other property in reaction to a curfew that's being put in place in an attempt to stop the spread of covert 19 that curfew runs from 9 pm at night until 4 30 in the morning it's really upset a lot of people but that's resulted in condemnation for those who took part in the violence from local officials on the prime minister mark rita if there's very little to really wonder what's gotten to these people there was nothing to do with protesting discriminant violence and group will be treating it as such this was the
7:03 am
scum of the earth that tried to disturb things here i'm afraid that if we continue down this path we will be on our way to civil war we saw cars burnt shops looted fireworks thrown at the place who responded by firing warning shots using tear gas and water cannon as well to try and disperse the crowds now the police have described this as the worst violence that they've seen in the country for decades and a concerned that it may continue for some time yet we haven't seen this much violence in 40 years i hope it was a one off but i'm afraid it was a harbinger for the coming days and weeks it's been 3 nights in a row in the netherlands but the 1st time we saw clashes with police over the few was in the 70. of january there's been hundreds of people arrested over the last 3 days there was also an incident in the north of the country where a covert 19 testing center was burnt down that somebody was taken into custody with
7:04 am
for questioning in relation to that and what we've heard from mayors and local officials in major cities and in small towns as well is that they're going to be taking a mergence the action to try and stop a nother nights of violence occurring on choose day when this curfew comes into place it's interesting when you look at the statements coming out from the police they said that things were incredibly peaceful right up until 9 pm when that curfew came into place and that's when well we saw we saw on monday evening that 30 nights of violence and they're concerned that it may continue for a while yet it all of the reporting now iran has become the latest country to greenlight russia. vaccine and is poised to begin production in the near future separately the mexican president has described the jab as evidence of scientific progress adding that his country hopes to get millions of doses within weeks we
7:05 am
spoke with the president of the russian federation vladimir putin and he was genuinely affectionate i invited him to visit mexico and thank him for the decision to send us 24000000 doses of the sputnik vaccine over the next 2 months meanwhile in india the final stages of clinical trials are well underway and the country's ambassador to moscow says that he's already taken the jab himself. i took it last week. the 1st also sputnik vaccine i feel perfectly red many of my colleagues in the embassy have done so as well and i am absolutely certain that this is part of the normal. precautions that we take her during the pandemic situation just as we remain at a mosque we have certain distance it is also good to take scientifically proven. scenes and of course the sputnik vaccine is one such vaccine approval of sputnik 3
7:06 am
in india could come within weeks once it completes the trials that india is also considering making the jab on its territory for both domestic and global demand the country's envoy to russia again told us why new delhi got involved doesn't come as a surprise that we have a such a long tradition of cooperation between india and russia their cooperation continued during the code pandemic so when the idea or. it was to kill the material approach the indian authorities or the testing of the sputnik alexian this was really come to an india these phase 2 trials of the picnics you have been completed is through trial commenced and be assured that us when our state regulatory approvals are given in india it will be available for use in india. aim is to finally. about the vaccination of
7:07 am
300000000 indians so it is one of the largest vaccination programs in the world but at the same time we wish to reach out to your friends and neighbors and we have done so be have given the nation doses. supplies have been sent by air to an apollo booked on bangladesh myanmar shows maldives and this is just the beginning we do not believe in vaccine competition we do not believe in vaccine nationalism we believe in vaccine cooperation and friendship and we intend to extend double hand of friendship that will support for their explanation programs of a number of countries. who are in need of this and really live up to the u.n. to double which will as people poleward and i'm sure in the weeks ahead they will be cooperation between india and russia on the global vaccination programs and
7:08 am
there will be great potential for cooperation because the number of the vaccines that are produced in india will also be used abroad and that will include that russian sputnik rock scene that would be produced in india. has been in touch with a number of very good indian companies to take this forward and we expect in the next couple of weeks sputnik rexx enough to raise the regulatory approval or will be available for use in india and also for export to russia and other countries and despite an overall shortage of faxing many days is the phase the japanese space in have been wasted that's because the country lacks the special syringes needed to extract cases from that file and medical experts write down the problem and a bit more to tell. they have already talked about the 6 and even 7th doses it's not possible with all vials or syringe you have to be prepared for that
7:09 am
and use more expensive syringe is than usual it's a lot of money and requires more cautions so while 865000 is the pfizer shot have been given so far in the catalan region an estimated 10000 have been wasted on the shore to use could have been worse to you had it not been for the fact that some regions do you have the right needles or the country is going through some of its toughest times in the 3rd wave of the pandemic that any infection rates hit a new high last week salvador payroll again says the shortage of vaccines is amplified the problem. the main problem is that the number of vaccines supplied under the agreements and procurement of the european commission is still very small i believe that until new vaccines are allowed their numbers will be significantly lower than we and the rest of the european union needs now the european melt since agency is changing the technical detail induces parampara as soon as the labels
7:10 am
changed they're going to give us 20 percent less those us than we should have because any mistake means a loss of dos i think what this really means is a 20 percent increase in price. revenue service afternoon you tally in prime minister has officially tended his resignation plunging the country into more political uncertainty it had been widely expected picante would step down after his fragile coalition lost its slim majority he had survived to no confidence votes but the government struggled to get a steer on the country's pandemic strategy and had to spend recovery fund cash it is unclear at this stage they where the contest will be asked to try and rebuild a new governing coalition well there is one rule for us now and quite another for you that's at least how it seems the moment and this is seems to be the most eye with the u.s. and e.u. governments who are eagerly backing prone around the protests in russia but are criticizing the far bigger rallies that are taking place in their own backyard
7:11 am
taking a look at this here is where it gets the. the united states has come out in the strongest terms against the suppression of protests and against put he spoke let me try again the united states says it can deadens police brutality it other countries the united states strongly condemns the use of harsh tactics against protesters and journalists this weekend in cities throughout russia prior to today's events the russian government sought to suppress the rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression i've got ahead and put together a least a list of people in that disease that have the right to lecture others on police brutality so there's luas for example they knew this stuff right what's legal and what isn't there as the pope i'm not catholic but i haven't seen vatican security roughing anyone up recently than that as yada yada oh oh there's no
7:12 am
america in this least the very good reason there won't be defining there won't be dismantling of our police and they're not going to be any disbanding of our police our police have been letting us live in peace we can't give up the finest law enforcement anywhere in the world is nothing like it. few people few countries have a record and trouble is right few countries have a police force that unhinged i didn't see anyone getting shot in moscow nor t.-a gas nor sprayed with water cannons but that was trump let's see what biden thinks about opposition protests witnessed yesterday was not the scent it was not disorder it was not protest it was chaos. there were protesters don't dare call them protesters there were a riotous mob insurrectionist domestic terrorists. it's
7:13 am
that basic it's. that said look nobody is ever again buying your lectures about police brutality the world has seen behind the mosque not that it stops some from dr should i find this authoritarian drift is very worrying so there is france right in the 1st 3 months of the year to vest protests french police arrested 10000 protesters people died people will crippled last eyes lost lives here gas and rubber bullets were used in france in industrial quantities and you know what macro and is proud of the police do not speak of repression or police violence these words are unacceptable where there is rule of law then is germany demanding the release of all peaceful protesters detained in russia detained for peacefully
7:14 am
attacking police peacefully punching traffic cops and peacefully destroying cars maiming drivers and marshaling kids 1011 year olds to attend violent protests germany itself has been rattled with anti lockdown protests and you know what the german officials and police did they dismiss them as loons crazies extremists and beat them around the head for good measure the democratic institutions states alone even the police or is protective shield a thing called the emergency services for this important service to a country that was a target not long ago when the world looked up to europe and america as beacons of freedom and liberty the right way to do things but that beacon that light has gone out there are no illusions anymore about europe or america being superior or better than everyone else the time for hypocritical lectures has pos no one can be
7:15 am
bothered to listen anymore. your filthy phil had a sour. could take a decade for hundreds of millions of the world's poorest to recover from the economic effects of the pandemic we'll have more details on this in a couple of us. will those who would be most impacted by having unrealized gains tax the so-called wealth tax would they not be incentivized to do agre style collapse and profit from the credit default swaps but on america we always said that once they were successful in destroying greece they would move on to other countries in europe and it would eventually get to the u.s. is that day now approach. the world is driven by shaped by.
7:16 am
7:17 am
protests to cease let's get the latest he joins us now from paris one of the prize . yes just run through there in charlotte what exactly are the demands of the demands here from the protesters. well as you said this is a nationwide protest this protest in paris is one of many that are taking place across the country it's being called by 6 unions these unions include 2 of the largest education unions in france represent around 3 quarters of teachers so they really do have a lot of power now they say that teaches are underpaid that's been a call for a very long time and there's been complaints for a very long time about the working conditions of teachers what makes this process markedly different to ones we've seen before is this comes in the context of their health situation the global 1000 pandemic and teaches of futurists here in france about what they say the conditions that are not as good as they should be in
7:18 am
schools don't forget here in france schools have been open over the last few months universities are not open generally but schools themselves are so people's are still in class this is not a situation of remote learning like we saw during the 1st lockdown last year and teachers say that they need to be a massive driver recruitment drive more teachers so that they can reduce the number of students in class and make sure that social distancing which is the very 1st protocol that we're all told to do touring this health pandemic is able to be put in place they're also saying that they should be on a priority list for the vaccine for qubit 19 and that's because obviously you know there has been this concern that schools could be a vector where the transmission of 900 takes place so teachers really looking to have better sanitary conditions health protocols when it comes to 19 and these are some of the big demands that we're hearing today from the unions
7:19 am
a new demands indeed know they've also talked about the precarious nature of students protect. university students who are at the moment are remote learning and are not in institutions and they've said that they want more assessment for the psychological impact of that for students and also the financial impact we talked to one student on r.t.e. last week who talked about the fact that many students feel that they just don't have enough money to eat the basic 3 meals a day the president back on following that did say that he would talk to universities about ensuring that students can eat for one year a day but that doesn't sort of alleviate the concern of many who are also worried about what the point is in their studies at the moment if they can't access the basic things like libraries so there are a lot of issues here you mentioned that students were likely to join this protest we have seen some students here already the idea is that teachers and students are out in force together demanding the government do more now in god's teachers wages
7:20 am
we know the education secretary did announce last year that they would be an extra $400000000.00 euros available for paying teachers but according to one union that's not going to help our own 69 percent of teachers affected so really that 400000000 only helping just under a 3rd of teachers so there is massive anger here and they determined that they'll be out on the streets again to let the government know that the situation is dire and something needs to be done. there for the. reporting live from parish. to us the biden administration there are some veiled ambitious plans to step up inoculations there is just one problem though even though many vaccines they have as the story. code infections in the united states have surpassed 25000000 and at this point hopes are lying with the new
7:21 am
vaccine being rolled out now the new white house of joe biden is promising to increase vaccination rates and correct trump's mistakes but now things are going anything but smoothly at this point the federal government is admitting it's in the dark about how much vaccine supply is available 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 across the country vaccination appointments are being cancelled by the thousands here in new york city 23000 vaccination appointments have been cancelled spittles are running out unable to give new inoculations this has americans wondering if the new administration can deliver its time. is why. extends itself more people to argue for something which at this point is
7:22 am
preventable condition they have the capacity to do 10000 vaccinations a day but they're only doing 1500 because they don't harm their growth and they don't after supply it is playing out nationwide a hospital in virginia canceled 10001st dose appointments another in south carolina canceled 6000 scheduled vaccinations after it received only 450 of the doses it expected to get in hawaii another hospital was forced to cancel 5000 scheduled appointments and put another 15000 requests on the whole state governors across the country are appealing to the federal government for help as frustration among the public is growing we have so many distributors that we can't supply them all and you will see distributors who run out of supply joe biden set the goal of. 100000000 vaccinations in his 1st 100 days criticizing donald trump along the way
7:23 am
for failing to achieve high vaccination rates this criticism was leveled by biden even though the numbers of 1000000 vaccinations per day had already been achieved by the previous administration reporters tried to pin the white house down about this not adding up 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 a day what we're proposing is to double that to about $1000000.00 shots per day at his inauguration joe biden promised to turn things around when it came to the pandemic however sense than it has been a short supply of vaccines chaos and government officials shrugging when asked how much is in supply the biden administration needs to pick up the pace and fast if not they could risk bringing an end to what would turn out to be one of the shortest honeymoon periods in u.s.
7:24 am
presidential history kaleb oppen artsy new york medical commentator dr john dombrowski to tell us the pre-election promise is done 2 ways become reality that is a real disconnect between the government which obviously hopefully responsible and the suppliers such as pfizer mcgurn and other suitable industry should really be working and in the globe with respect to this pandemic that we have and across the planet i think what we need to do is ok let's focus to 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 a cheap shot but i think it's more poorly what are we going to do today and tomorrow political promises that are made on the campaign really don't pan out in terms of what you get behind the desk and you have to really deliver with these patients. now 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 from international also
7:25 am
says it is the most at risk you stand to be the worst affected during the pandemic the 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 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 recoup their pandemic losses but it is a very different story for the planet's poorest for them it is going to take a decade to recover or also says the number of people living in poverty globally may have increased by hundreds of millions last year charities head of inequality policy explain to us how the wealthy have actually benefited. it was an initial hit to stock markets back in march of last year when the pandemic 1st started since
7:26 am
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 court shoots increase rapidly and just to put it in context after the financial crisis over 10 years ago it took 5 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're seeing a boom time for billionaires whilst as we know ordinary people all around the world of facing the fear of the virus the fear of death and sickness but also losing their job soon the hunger that comes with that so very very different story at the bottom it seems immoral to oxfam and to others that billionaires should be making sorry much money when sorry much is needed as we said today the cost of vaccinating everyone on earth could easily be covered if we were to not cygnus increasing billionaire while you're watching us internationally to be company stuff
7:27 am
and don't forget it was plenty of stories that website you can find that at r.t. dot com but we'll be back with the headlines and more stories in just over one. right now there are 2000000 people who are overweight or obese it's profitable to self and. and sugary and salty and addict and it's not at the individual level it's not individual willpower and if we go on believing that never change this obesity epidemic that industry has been influencing very
7:28 am
deeply the medical and scientific. terms of what's driving the obesity epidemic it's. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on off and spearing dramatic development the only posts really and going to do is east i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. i'm max kaiser this is the kaiser report wow. you know what margin debt
7:29 am
is racing to new all time highs what's going on here stacy gray max remember those days when we spoke when often and that was when we had the bond vigilantes on the gold vigilantes and what they would do is they would battle the government about you know how much the government could spend and then the bond and gold vigilantes disappeared but they've come back as leverage hits vigilantes they're front running all of the disasters that they themselves create as a way to make money it's an easier way to make money than trying to force the government to behave you force the government to go crazy right time to worry about stock market leverage again another what the heck sign the zoo has gone nuts margin debt the amount of money that individuals and institutions borrow against their stock holdings spiked by $56000000000.00 in december after having already
7:30 am
spiked by $63000000000.00 in november by far the 2 largest month to month increases on record to $778000000000.00 according to finra which regulates brokers and exchanges since march this measure of margin debt surged by nearly $300000000000.00 of rice 62 percent margin debt and margin requirements of course are something that you have spoken about often as a way for the fed to actually if they really wanted to regulate bankers they could raise margin rates right well going back to the crash of 29 of course that was caused by margin right so people were allowed to put down 10 percent and buy stocks. and so when the 1929 crash happened it started slowly but it caused margin calls because yes more highly leveraged and then they couldn't come up with the cash to meet the margin call and you have a cascading effect in 1987 similarly i was working on wall street.
