now despite an overall shortage your vaccines many cases of the pfizer job in spain have been wasted and that's because the country lacks the special syringes that are needed to extract the diocese from that vial and medical experts write down the problem in a bit more detail. we have already talked about the 6 and even 7th goes it's not possible with all the royals. you have to be prepared for that and use more expensive syringe just unusual it's a lot of money and requires more cautions. so while 165000 doses of the fires a shot have been given so far in the catalan region an estimated 10000 being wasted and the shortages could have been worse to you had it not been for the fact that some regions do you have the right needles well the country is going through some of its toughest times in the 3rd wave of the pandemic daily infection rates hit a new high last week salvador pedro again says that the shortage of vaccines has
9:10 am
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 need now the european method since agency is changing the technical detail induces per as soon as the labels 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. there is one rule for us and quite another for you that seems to be the motto of us and e.u. governments at the moment who are eagerly backing protests in support of jailed kremlin critic election a valley in russia while criticizing the far bigger rallies taking place in their own backyard what it cost the f. takes a closer look. the united states has come out in the strongest terms against the

suppression of protests and against police prove 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 laws for example they knew this stuff right what's legal and what isn't there is the pope i'm not catholic but i haven't seen vatican security roughing anyone up recently and there's yada yada oh oh there's no america in this list the very good reason there won't be defined being 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 tear gas nor sprayed with water cannons but that was trump let's see what biden thinks about opposition protests witnessed yesterday was not dissent. 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 insurrections domestic terrorists. it's
9:13 am

9:15 am
a 3rd of teachers have apparently moved back to life from paris just off the bridge . seemed wrong wrong just don't all. get to shape out this day. and in again train because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground.
9:16 am
hello again now a major teachers' strike is underway at the moment in france around a 3rd of all teaching staff have also been expected to rally for better conditions including vaccine access and higher pay so let's get the latest now and go straight to our supplier our correspondent elizabeth is there and charlotte when we spoke she last time looked like there was a sizable protest underway in paris what's it like there at the moment.
9:17 am
yes that's right thousands of people turned out to this protest in paris to let the government know that there are unhappy with the conditions in schools across france it wasn't just this protest in paris but this was a protest called by 6 unions including 2 of the largest representing 3 quarters of teachers for a protest across france we're getting a sense of the people who are still here in the protest at the moment as i said this protest called by a number of unions and it's in protest over a myriad of issues here in france not just the fact that they want higher wages and that they want better working conditions but also over this situation over 19 of the unions say they want teachers to be on a priority list to receive the vaccine and they say the educational inequalities of essentially why didn't since the start of the health crisis and they will highlight
9:18 am
the psychological precarity of students the financial precariously of students something we know here on r.t.e. because we covered it in the last week we spoke to one student who is telling us you know they just felt like throwing the towel in because there was just no feature no lessons face to face it at least mean averse to vote for teachers and most of the teachers here they're the ones who work in the ordinary high schools juniors. rules imprint schools and they are still giving lessons and they say that not enough is being done to protect them let me give you an example there was a poll in december there found that 81 percent of the respondents felt that their situation was bad all very bad in terms of the protection that was being offered to them so teachers that really want this sense of being done they say we need to hire more teachers in front we need to reduce class sizes so they can continue to you
9:19 am
make sure that there is social distancing in classes and they fear reus about this now we know that the minister of education announced a few months ago that they would be 400000000 euros more in the pot from john we teachers but we understand from some of the unions that will not help 69 percent of teachers that means choose thirds of teachers will not see an increase in royce because of the extra money we know the president mccall has talked about universities offering meals for one day for students in the most precarious situation but the reality is that teachers across france don't feel that enough is being done and they're the latest to come out in protest against the situation not just over wages and conditions but also the health situation and they want more to be done to be put in place to help them get through this current pandemic. charlotte charlotte one of the protests in paris thank you.
9:20 am
now in the united states the biden ministration has unveiled ambitious plans to stop. just one problem that i don't even know how many vaccines they have kind of marketed as the story told in factions of the united states have surpassed 25000000 and at this point hopes are lying with the new vaccine being rolled out now the new white house of joe biden is promising. to increase vaccination rates and correct trumps 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
9:21 am
23000 vaccination appointments have been cancelled aspinall's 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 die for something which at this point is 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 hold state governors across the
9:22 am
country are appealing to the federal government for help as frustration among the public is growing we have so many distributors 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 for failing to achieve high vaccination rates this criticism was leveled by biden even though the number. bers of $1000000.00 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 trumpet ministration 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 shots per day at his
9:23 am
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. presidential history kaleb oppen artsy new york medical commentator dr john dombrowski told us the pre-election promise is done 2 ways become a reality but it is a real disconnect between the government which obviously openly responsible and the suppliers so just pfizer return and other orbital industry we 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 on what the problem is now in terms of getting the supplier of these vaccines supply chain working out and
9:24 am
patients who need to go 1st go 1st so that's nice to do a cheap shot but if it gets more poorly what are we going to do today and tomorrow political promises that are made only campaign really don't pan out in terms of what you get behind the desk you have to really deliver with these patients. rights groups have accused israel of dodging its pandemic to millions of palestinians who may have to wait months for vaccination israel's health minister explained where his priorities lie. as far as the vaccination is concerned i say that it's. israeli obligation 1st of all almost to the citizens they pay taxes for their own the while the country is $1.00 of the world leaders in inoculation at the moment already minimizing one in 5 of its population against the virus but more than 4 and a half 1000000 palestinians are not getting the shot we've got reaction to this from his writings occurred into international israel is responsible for the lives of all palestinians in gaza and in the west bank yeah why not there are
9:25 am
a human being just like us we are controlling the. territory and we should take care of the population as well their war careers are a coming on daily bases into ease railing here they travel here and so the whole population could be in danger it's true that it can be in israel favorite if you get the vaccine but shouldn't be on the on course it also favorite decided to do all world would take to fix it but we shouldn't pay for it but we also heard from the group physicians for human rights and it says that israel does have a responsibility to help palestine. i know that if i seen an associate through with the head of post and will handle the new zation i'm trying to secure a vaccination but like any other the whole country of course not succeeding to get
9:26 am
the soon enough while his friends in the box nation goes very well and like 2000000 people who were already fucked and they said so it seems like there's a huge gap between what's going on in the israelis and the citizens of receiving books in nations and priority groups like the chronically eat and medical teams in the palestinian territories do not state the last has access yes i don't agree with . the minister of health i think it has some sensibility of this legally and ethically and also from the interests of the kind of. and that brings you up to date with all the news that so far today here not internationally but if you get there you can also keep yourself updated on our social media pages and you can check.
9:27 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical thought i'm time to sit down and talk. because i was going on the phone months smoke fighting only coming for the moment then mark the moment the one who's been brought up going to november those done a lot of photos of stuff to get a. lot
9:28 am
of money but. just that they had i think. she was you make them. more 0 years for them. john bombard from the sun on my book you go to the british of course they're going up our family. i mean the guys who are dead and of course i don't want any of the government. to. take.
9:29 am

9:30 am
founder and executive chairman kicked off the event by saying the 1st step we have to undertake is to restore trust but in order to restore trust we have to reinforce 1st global cooperation on the agenda is primarily dealing with the economic recovery mental health the future of food and climate change but critics say little change actually comes from the annual event for this and more we're joined by co-host chrystia and c.e.o. of openness i'll see ottavio more and see ottavio let's start with you let's start with the. what can we actually expect from the event and its call to action is anything actually going to come out of it this year. well i do wonder how many people are really going to participate this year you know it's pretty boring at the best of times actually when you're in person i doubt many people will sit in front of video conferences for 5 days as they listen to different lectures but i think it does frequently have a big impact i mean many of the world's leaders coming together and discussing various issues and maybe coordination certain policies clearly at the top of the
