and this is why. the island grows. and what. is. going to tell you the number of deaths recorded from in the u.k. has a post 100. public inquiry into government failing. to register more than 100000 deaths. on the middle. east they did not. interest in a mathematician. mostly. a sign of the countries to.

wring their hands at their failure to develop an effective vaccine. russia's foreign ministry accuses the us of spreading fake social media with president putin warning that. threaten democracy. in the future could be flying over the skies. as a russian textile. city traffic is no longer an issue instead of driving along congested highways this taxi. hey there good afternoon from international with me kevin 0 in 30 minutes just ahead for you. company. so britain has become the 1st country in europe to pass

100000 deaths from cove and prime minister boris johnson offered his condolences but then was tackled in parliament over his handling of a pandemic and quote very slow response i'm sorry to have to tell you the number of death recorded from couvade in the u.k. has surpassed 100000 it's hard to compute the sorrow contained in that grim statistic the u.k. is the 1st country in europe to record 100000 covert deaths we also have the deepest recession of any major economy us calls are closed and the borders are open my biggest concern is that the prime minister still hasn't learnt the lessons of last year and i fear that as a result we'll see more tragedy and more grim milestone. more than 8 and

a half 1000 people have died from code in the past week alone in britain and this tustin who lost his grandfather to the virus now is started the names not numbers campaign to try to highlight what he says is government negligence in the pandemic the push for a public inquiry into its handling of the response. as a who needs thinking this is a criminal inquiry. and let's not sugarcoat it we are experiencing the worst humanitarian atrocity that this island has ever seen and it's being caused by our own government is in neglectful there is in alaska machon and most of these lives could have been saved do we need to understand how this happened but this should not be a government letting go of inquiry i do not want the criminal investigators on crime because the routes will not be sought none of them being a 100000 this is not something that we should take on the chin and accept as a population in the end of the day at home and to neglect family and they did not

lives 1st they put the economy verse which ironically now as not only tax the economy has also led to more deaths than it should have done. the government is toughening up restrictions that as the death toll grows the lockdown has been extended for at least another 3 weeks people can't go out without a quote reasonable excuse or public gatherings a band the police are getting tough on those who break the rules but no partridge explains sometimes the rule breakers are the officers themselves. the coronavirus pandemic has changed just about everyone's professional lives and the police are no exception the u.k. is an armed forces have repeatedly come under the spotlight for trying to do their job which these days include cracking down on illegal gatherings under the lockdown laws these range from graves to birthday parties weddings and even baby showers. baby shower. provide

a call because you will hear so obviously you're breaking kobe rules we can't find every adult here every single one of you 2 under par the is london metropolitan police chief superintendent stephen trainmen condemns the party goers and warned there would be consequences london's police are almost daily posting videos of officers shutting down illegal gatherings. was an issue really throughout the area for you. before you became obvious person exposed as examiner central vadar ok because of the national laws are there were a lot of these you know exam to google to a little circle with other people the aim is to publicly shame people and prevent others from doing the same except that message doesn't seem to have reached 31 of their own officers court flouting the law while on duty just to get

a haircut if you're eating their superiors and seeing each of fending officers slapped with a $200.00 pound fine it is deeply disappointing and frustrating of my officers have fallen short of the expectation to uphold go. 1000 regulations i hope this action proves that police are not immune to enforcement of the rules more embarrassingly for the met it happened barely a week after 9 officers were fined after being spotted having breakfast together in a london cafe since march the police have issued 32000 fines across england and wales penalties rochelle petering indians november looking down almost 6500 penalties were handed out as police move more quickly to enforcement find start at 200 pounds in england and northern ireland but the government intends to increase these to 800 pounds for illegal gatherings of more than 15 people but with crackdowns getting tougher police federation's are calling on the government to ensure that officers are at the forefront of the facts the nation roll out the

public expects police officers to put themselves in harm's way and i believe that it is only fair to expect that these same frontline officers get prioritised for vaccination over the last 2 weeks alone 5 london police officers have died from corona virus the pandemic has left millions frustrated anxious and impatient months of isolation mean people want to see family and friends and to let their hair down and the police have been left with a very public task of not only ensuring everyone else is safety but setting the personal example of how it should be done what i think the the police the world are a very difficult situation with so with the codes restrictions because it's it goes against the grain completely for police to interrupt parties and things but of course those are all the laws and the legislation and police officers realise that no hate to do that and i think that's what's happening it's it's a really weird time this goes against all the all the training all the things that

we we over many over the century or so i've tried to do which is give people their freedoms but people act within the law but of course these lives through this legislation. has put them in a very difficult position meaning that they've got to interrupt such things as baby showers and wading and other things which goes really against the all the things that they've done over the years i thoroughly believe that police officers should be vaccinated because they are being asked to not only be around lots of individuals themselves so that they're at their own colleagues they have to be in vans with their colleagues they have to be in the police station but they're also risking people in the street and in people's houses so they are a forefront of our needs to have a decent society that they they have the vaccination as early as possible. crohn's was once the world leader in vaccines development now the failure to develop its own code to the country asking bigger questions about its global decline. to report

on that. france has a learning famous history when it comes to vaccinations i mean after all the so-called father of even your logy is louis pastor the french microbiologist so it's been a base of a blow that the institution that bears his name failed to find a viable vaccine it's described its own results as disappointing in these trials involving the 1st administration to humans the vaccine candidate was well tolerated but the immune responses in juiced by the vaccine were inferior to both those observed in individuals who recovered from natural infection and those observed with the vaccines currently authorized for covert 19 the vaccine they were attempting to produce was less effective than 0 natural immunity who hits hard and it seems the french are really feeling it their fear yes indeed it is real because when pastor rick cannot get out a dose of the vaccine that is amazing so i think it is incompetence it's everywhere

maybe there are too it's a competition between different laboratories well they didn't find the right immediate solution yes it's a shame but hey that's life that's ok next time they will do better communication i'm not sure after all it's more important that everyone in the world has the same objective it's true there are concerns about making money on the vaccines and things like that politicians too are crying out with worry that france is losing its standing in the world it's a sign of the decline of the country and this decline is an acceptable but this decline is not because france isn't producing will cost scientists know it's because of the brain drain so it's not acceptable that our best research or the most brilliant of our researchers are sucked up by the american system i was blaming reductions in public funding for vaccine research so there is that people in paris think to towards the middle of the crisis they finally woke up. they put

some resources aside but there is still more that can be done by changing the economy a little especially at ministerial level they could save a little there are probably things that can be done to simplify our system so that there is more funding probably we could remove some administrative players that have accumulated over the years given the money where they will to spend in other areas armament and all that i would be surprised if it was a fund and problem i think its management issue may be more than a funding issue meanwhile what's been called france is the last major pharma groups in office is struggling to bring to the market its vaccine candide it which won't be available before the end of the year for now sanofi is helping rivals pfizer bio tech manufacturing more of their job charlotte even ski r.t. paris. russia's accuse the u.s. and tech giants of working together to spread fake news it comes as president putin

notes america's monopoly on online content is no so complete that it's a threat to democratic institutions he's a senior correspondent more girls do. freedom of speech something that we have taken for granted you know in this in this modern age is turning into something of the luxury of favor bus stop upon us by the powers that be and taken away in equal measure by billionaires take billionaires and elected and who rules to stratospheric eyes on the backs of these these social media platforms and this latest scandal involves the head of russian space agency dmitry rogozin and he's seen moves speaking his mind on facebook where he wrote a critical post about a fellow called michael mcfaul and basically goes and said you tried meddling in our affairs and to see tom and tom again just stay out stay out you know you do you

doing nothing constructive and for that he was banned for 24 hours and facebook is he is a coward was restored but his ability to make new post is still restricted in the russian foreign ministry came out with condemnation saying you know this is just going too far and all the fake news about the protests in russia for example illegal calls targeting kids 1011 year olds to attend protests with which is illegal 1st of all 2nd of all dangerous because you know as we saw they can turn violent and they filed lodged an official complaint with the u.s. embassy in russia restrictive actions taken by the administrators of the biggest us social networks towards the content of their platforms struck a blow to the democratic value system and international information architecture the power the influence of these tech giants eat today it carol you've stated with

the pandemic exacerbated things but this has been a trend for a while the discourse is increasingly moving online yet the online world is ruled by an elite group of. billionaires billionaires of untold power at this point who are unaccountable to know what universe there is no in that could come and say and tell them do this or do that if they can bad don't trump then a sitting president of the united states cloakrooms the most powerful man in the world that they could out right bad him from all platforms you know acting in concert who is beyond their reach there's no one this is a democratically elected president and this is something that large a mere putin warned with that in his speech yesterday. was all our. digital giants now are playing an increasingly large role we often hear about in conversations particularly regarding the us election campaign and it's not just

simply the technology giants their economic giants in some areas they're defacto able to compete with states this is part of the systematic crisis facing the world this season a seismic change facing the world it's cultural it's political it's to do with society it's our values and especially to claw logy in the pandemic this is exacerbated things all this changing happening so quickly and perhaps it isn't always going in the right direction. indeed seems so it's quarter past the hour thank you for watching out international wherever your chin did around the world whatever you do in today we appreciate it this is ahead rallies against india's a cultural reform bill really violent on the country's republic day we'll tell you a bit more about what caused all this anger to boil over somebody died too after the break.

electricity supplies were disrupted to those. in that area. just hours after taking office president biden signed an executive order revoking the permit for the vast keystone x.l. oil pipeline project which stretches from canada to the u.s. as part protests and legal battles across 3 presidential administrations of. executive order to supercharge administration ambitious plan to confront the existential threat of climate change that we're going to put people to work going to lose jobs and these are going to create jobs $11000.00 jobs one stroke of a pen of president biden it looks like president biden is working on to make america unemployed again kind of strategy thinking more about saudi arabia workers in montana workers and u.s. workers the significant pushback against biden's decision on both sides of the border with tens of thousands of jobs now on the line more on that from our to america's. within hours of his inauguration president joe biden signed an

executive order to revoke the permit for the keystone x.l. pipeline and he's already getting some heat at home that day one priority was to kill thousands of american jobs including union jobs to support our strong ally accounted for and reverse some of our progress toward energy security and while the debate will likely continue in d.c. at the same time the president is stirring the pot north of the border as well says he says this any as you know i've been supporting this keystone x.l. project for years i made this argument 7 years ago in a room full of democrats in washington even before i became prime minister canada's prime minister justin trudeau is being pressured by provincial leaders to fight back against the us president's order the charge was led by the premier's of alberta and scotch one whose energy sectors are tightly tied to the $8000000000.00

project i'm premier's want to go to war originally proposed in 2008 the 1200 mile long pipeline travels through 7 states starting in canada in the alberta tar sands and ending at the gulf of mexico the pipeline is meant to move 830000 barrels of crude a day the move should make some people happy including environmentalists and others opposed to the keystone x.l. pipeline those who prioritize economy over environment are critical of biden for cancelling the project more interested in virtue signals to the climate activists and supporting the union workers who are building the keystone pipeline calgary alberta based t.c. energy the company behind the pipeline says it will lay off $1000.00 workers immediately due to president joe biden's decision it is not clear how many of those jobs are american. for this chair so that would look at maybe a taste of the future maybe say that we think science fiction is becoming a reality as moscow might get its 1st flying taxis than a couple he is

a russian urban and mobility company started testing so-called passenger throws they seem to what causes it rose cough was 1st in the queue then. and just like that city traffic is no longer an issue instead of driving along congested highways this taxi should lift you up and take you from 8 to beat by a. by the way there are no paddles or a steering wheel i mean the whole thing is supposed to be controlled by a person remotely or by computer programs the only thing i can do while inside is to pull the red knock in case of emergency combat or will it jacked a parachute. of

course using it as an air transport air transport for passengers like air so to speak in the big congested see is the 1st thing that comes to mind but it also might be useful for various city services like ambulance for example and russia's health care ministry and emergency ministry are reported to be extremely interested in this invention the safety is the idea of the flying car of the holder the idea of don't fix it is by what's inside it and that person just just sit there choose the points on the map and the flight and that's all well the flying drones market has been booming for the last few years with many developers in europe china and america creating prototypes

a chinese company hank for example made an aerial vehicle that can not only fly people but also how to put out fires and there still might be quite a few bombs. in the way of this particular air taxi before the project can take off well 1st of all it needs an investor who could start mass production and 2nd city authorities must figure out where to allow such vehicles to operate as for now moscow considering devoting certain areas within the city limits for outdoor task bringing hopes moscow could be one of the 1st capitals to use the catch phrase of doc brown back to the future to lure an inventor. who. is way to get to work good way to beat those big city jobs till they get clogged up too in the skies above our head but i'll leave you with the cold little vision of the future that's it for me kevin oh jack you see just how often i was taught all those programs and you all part of the world tailor made for you here and

international on air after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race is also an experience dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

hi i'm max tazz or this is the kaiser report so much going on let's check in with stacey right max you know how history rhymes might not necessarily repeat exactly but it certainly rhymes and we're seeing flashback to the seventy's these days so the most important question for me is should i get a feather haircut or a perm stay in a lot stay in a la the whole. new much of it because copyright is certainly much stronger since the seventy's but what do you feel about you know my wife sudha i get them colored tiles i'm a basement practice in the house all the a rabbit we're practicing the hustle google that but i think i'll do the feather

haircuts unless people in the audience out there if you say no she should get a permit said well then i'll get a perm but in the meantime i want to say you know inflation is back if you lived through the seventy's you remember the inflation you remember the long lines and you remember the disco well inflation is spreading broadly into the economy amid surging costs companies raise prices and customers pay them despite weak economy $10000000.00 missing jobs the signs of inflation building up in the economy are now everywhere i h s markets in this release of the flash p.m.i. with data from companies in the services and manufacturing sectors added to that pile of evidence and increasingly max companies are able to pass higher input prices on to their customers meaning their customers are not totally balking at paying higher prices and they're not switching to other sources to dodge those price increases.
