spent in. city traffic is no longer an issue instead of driving along congested highways this taxi should take you from a to b. by a. good evening and welcome to the program this is art international coming to you straight from the russian capital bring you your live news update the british prime minister is facing renewed scrutiny over his handling of the pandemic after the country passed a tragic milestone 100000 related deaths for us johnson has admitted to government missteps but so far resisted calls for a public inquiry. there to be no doubt it has been no doubt that either the government takes full responsibility for all the actions i have taken we've taken during this pandemic to fight this disease the u.k.

is the 1st country in europe to record 100000 covert debts we also have the deepest recession of any major economy ask or are closed on the borders are open of my biggest concern is that the prime minister still hasn't learned the lessons of last year and i fear that there's a result we'll see more tragedy and more grim milestone in the past week alone more than 8500 people have died from cope in 1000 in the u.k. and the government is rolling out ever tougher restrictions on down has been extended for at least 3 weeks and people cannot go out without a valid reason our public gatherings are banned and police are getting tougher on those who step out of line but ask a partridge explains sometimes the rule breakers are officers themselves. the coronavirus pandemic has changed just about everyone's professional lives and the

police are no exception the u.k.'s on 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 raves to birthday parties whiting's and even baby showers with a baby shower are. provided for because you're all here so obviously you're breaking covert rules we can't find every adult here every single one of you 2 under par that 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 oh. right that was an issue really throughout the area for you. before you began to have sisters very surprised as it was going on essential varro for the eyes of the

national laws are aware. that you're not exempt goulding in the full circle with all the people the aim is to publicly shame people and prevent others from doing the same except that message doesn't seem to have reached 30 ringback one 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 offices slapped with a $200.00 pound fine it is deeply disappointing and frustrating of my officers have fallen short of the expectation to uphold covert 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 café since march the police have issued $32000.00 fines across england and wales penalties row shoppy jury indians' november looking down. almost 6500 penalties were handed out as police move more quickly to enforcement find started

200 pounds in england in 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 are being left with a very public tosk of not only ensuring everyone else's safety but setting the personal example of how it should be done what i think the police the world are in very difficult situation with with the covert 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 in the legislation and police officers realise that no pay 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 a century or so have tried to do which is give people their freedoms but people act within the law but of course these loaches through this legislation has put them in a very difficult position meaning that they've got to interrupt such things as baby showers and waiting and other things which goes really against all the things that they've done over the years i thought only 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 out there in colleagues they have to be in vans with the . colleagues they have to be in the police station but they're also rescuing people in the street and it was houses so that our forefront of our needs to have

a decent society that they they have the vaccination as early as possible. francis once the world leader and vaccine development not the failure to develop its own covert job has become a source of shame for the political establishment. ports. france has a little in 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 just 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 no natural immunity who hits hard and it seems the french are really feeling it the 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 or maybe there are too it's a competition between different trades well they didn't find the right immediate solution yes it's a shame but it's live that's a key they will do better than 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 7 i would be surprised if it was a front and problem i think it's a management issue maybe more than a funding issue meanwhile what's been called france is a last major pharma group sanofi is struggling to bring to the market its vaccine

can did it which won't be available before the end of the year for now sanofi is helping libels pfizer bio tech manufacturing more of their job charlotte even ski r.t. paris. russia has accused the us government and giants are working together to spread a fake news our senior correspondent rob garcia of has the details. 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 bust styled 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

u.s. 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 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 i am accountable to no what. there's 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 cloakroom as 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 lived near putin

warned that that in his speech yesterday. davos 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 there's sees 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 is exacerbated things all this change you happening so quickly perhaps it isn't always going in the right direction. the new u.s. secretary of state has said washington is ready to revive the iran nuclear deal but only if tehran meet its commitments. around is out of compliance on

a number of fronts and it would take some time should it make the decision to do so for it to come back into compliance in time for us then to assess whether it was meeting its obligations so we're not we're not there yet. the nuclear deal was brokered back in 2015 requiring iran to limit its uranium enrichment and exchange for sanctions relief the trump administration withdrew from the d.c.p. away and 20 teena but it's still being upheld by russia the e.u. and china which of all called on washington to return to the treaty in just over an hour from now artie's worlds apart discusses the future of the deal with the iranian foreign minister but for now here's a short taste. we want to make sure this time better than i just say it would be lived by the terms of the deed rather than by by its own minister with all due respect what tools do you have to ensure that the united states leaves by the deal because they have we know how politics is this days they have all the tools to

punish you for your compliance or for that you know in that own imaginary. mistakes but do you have the ability to actually apply that pressure to that move but actually we do and that is also written in that into the deed benda united states just to punish us we had 300 kilograms of enriched uranium you will enjoy by then for many years perhaps even decades i read somewhere that he has your personal cell phone number do you think i actually are my personal cell phone number has changed since i left. fast here and you want to see him again do you think that that personal connection i don't know how deep it is but do you think it will sell a tape any diplomatic if it made him a q 3 a good job why didn't i ever not bodies to be represented to different countries with different policies he was a senator and i was

a permanent representative to the united nations ve had many civilized meetings invision me disagree but the incivility. i think. is the basis for understanding but again it's not just on the issue of who's in the white house is. for us is what do you do if you look at the j.c. puree is not just a signature that counts in the j.c. pew it in the new kid but in fact the impact of that chickenshit the effect of that signature on riveting making to see that if they have if they returned to duty with full effect. benefiting to iranian people knowing that their policy of maximum pressure has already fade then we are willing to go back to the full terms of the. security services in germany have put the anti immigration a.f.d.

they are ignored by the government but i'm going to get the message to the prime minister is that it is not the government it is the former government and only god willing to do as we want to do you cannot force your laws on the floor of the border between you and women now the demonstrations are expected to continue until those laws are repealed. 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. has sparked protests and legal battles across 3 presidential ministrations. i'm signing today an executive order to supercharge administration ambitious plan to confront the existential threat of climate change and we're going to put people to work i'm not going to lose jobs and these are going to create jobs 11000 jobs they're cut with the one stroke of the pen of president biden it looks like president biden is working on

a make america unemployed again kind of strategy thinking more about saudi arabia workers in montana workers and u.s. workers and their significant pushback against biden's decision on both sides of the border with tens of thousands of temporary jobs now on the line with more on that here's our to america's bitch. 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 canada 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 come to says he says these and the 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 workers immediately due to president joe biden's decision it is not clear how many of those

jobs are american. science fiction as possibly becoming a reality as moscow may get its 1st flying taxis within a couple of years a russian arm an air mobility company has started testing so-called passenger drones artie's constantino scope was 1st in line. 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 a to b. 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 program 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 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. is by what's inside it and it doesn't just just sit there choose the point on the

map and the flight and that's all for 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 hanka 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. on the way of this particular area taxi before the project can take off well 1st of all it needs an investor who could start mass production and 2nd cd 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 of the war an inventor of. the.
