spain's covert vaccination campaign grinds to a halt in parts of the country as supplies run out prompting doctors to question the handling of a vaccine for pure modes. are concerned that apparently those countries did purchase vaccines and a higher price than the european union have not experienced such delay in delivery we're not at all satisfied with the current situation. british prime minister is grilled in parliament over his handling of the pandemic as the death toll soars beyond the 100000 and the nation braces for even tougher restrictions.

french lawmakers and doctors vent their frustration at the country's failure to develop an effective covert vaccine. a very warm welcome you are watching r t international with me and he airing our top story this hour 2 of spain's most populous regions have halted that covert vaccination campaigns it's over in a wide supply shortfall much worse than catalonia have used up almost all available supplies and local officials believe brussels is partly to blame. we must stand up to brussels and demand more doses we need more vaccines and more tests and everything that structure in this task will prolong the fight against the virus but trade and catalonia have administered almost all available doses and all remaining supplies are needed to provide a 2nd dose is to people who have already received the 1st shots the head of spain's

vaccination association says it's a nationwide problem so. the number of doses we're receiving has been significantly reduced the vaccine is not being delivered to the rate that we anticipated it's a real problem for the national vaccination plan and it means a ton of us regions will have to review their strategies the supplies we do have will be needed to give 2nd dozers to those who have already started the vaccination process so we will not be able to knock you are very vulnerable and increase groups that were identified in the original plan it's a difficult and uncomfortable situation. the czech republic has halted its vaccination campaign for 2 weeks over a lack of doses and is a picture playing out across the e.u. where just 2 percent of citizens have been vaccinated follow the numbers in the u.k. and u.s. and with vaccine makers pfizer and ousters that occur reporting major production delays there's no solution in sight the spanish vaccine chief again thinks the e.u.

should have done a better job of securing early supplies from the pharma giants. i do not like the lack of transparency with regards to the contracts that the european union has concluded with pharmaceutical companies we don't know above them we don't know the purchase price we don't know anything at all and i think that's wrong of course we're concerned that apparently those countries did purchase vaccines in a higher price than the european union have not experienced such delay in delivery we are not at all satisfied with the current situation. the british prime minister is facing renewed scrutiny over his handling of the pandemic after the country passed the tragic milestone of 100000 covert related death bars johnson has admitted to government missteps but so far resisted calls for a public inquiry there to be no doubt and it has been no doubt that i'll take 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. we also the deepest recession of any major economy ask are closed and 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 tragic. and more grim milestone in the past week alone more than 8500 people have died from covert 19 in the u.k. and the government is rolling out of a tougher restrictions the lockdown has been extended for at least 3 weeks and people come out to go out without a valid reason all public gatherings are banned and police are getting tougher on those who step out of line but as kate partridge explained 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.'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 roles we can't fight 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. 7 thank you. for i

thought the british really do ok here. they want to be one of the obvious of course very surprised as examiner central varro for the areas of the national logs are aware of the you know exam to google to 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 31 of their own officers caught 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 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 happens barely a week after 9 officers were fined after being spotted having breakfast together in a london café since march the police of issued 32000 fines across england and wales

penalties row shoppy during england's november look into. almost 6500 penalties were handed out as police moved more quickly to enforcement fine start at 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 is safety but setting the

personal example of how it should be done what i think the police across the world are in very difficult situation with 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 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 to 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 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 out there in colleagues they have to be in vans with. colleagues they have to be in the police station but they're also risking people in the street and it will sound says so they are at the forefront of our needs to have a decent society that they they have the vaccination as early as possible. or france was once the world leader in vaccine development but now they're fairly to develop its own covert jabber has become a source of shame for the political establishment charlotta bensky report. 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 its 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 test and 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 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 fund 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 prominent 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 candidate 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. lebannon has been gripped by a 3rd night of anti lockdown and rest of the hundreds were injured as rioters torched and vandalized property in tripoli. military police fired tear gas and water cannon in response as protesters threw stones and tried to break into government headquarters level on speed on total lockdown and around the clock curfew since mid january the country's caretaker

prime minister earlier said the restrictions are vital to curb the spread of infections the head of the lebanese red cross told us how tough lysis right now. is a very serious you want to look to asia and you have to get back. and all the regulations and the people are fighting already gathering they need to be there to help them to see how they can manage them and then we live and to help today no hospital. in all that you have no idea what you will. be in and there have we had a craving a lot of problems and the get it to the emergency room where there is in the medical records you are going to be to be in the field and to help all the community between all because you are together bill and your with your work from all 5 prominent well known of course and majority from the community your.

security services in germany have put the anti immigration n.a.f.t. party under surveillance accusing it of extremism but domestic intelligence service has reportedly launched a probe focusing on alternative for germany's regional age kid in the east of the country we've asked the agency for comment and will let you know if we hear from them and i have the spokesman told us the author artes are trying to weaken the party ahead of this year's elections. bursted it was no surprise because that was announced in advance. we have. this situation already for several months in germany. he had a secret service. supervision of the political parties who are ruling and also parting are using the secret service to press the opposition.

we see it now and. in saxon on how to have a dns the biggest opposition party. this action was done in just. to. make us damage in advance of the of the elections which are going to be held in. 2021 in a few months. still to come the russian tech start up testing a new ad bowling taxi i have a date hour for you in a couple of minutes. so focused on the issue of who's in in the white house is to open the issue for us is

if you look at the j.c. it's not just the signature that counts in the j.c. pew in the new cutey but in fact the impact of that signature defect of that signature and we're willing to be making to see that if they. if they returned to duty with full effect benefiting the iranian people knowing that their policy or backs of impression has already failed then we are willing to go back to the full terms of that. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

welcome back the white house is preparing to tighten its rules on who can attend media events and the bided administration has set out its criteria on ahead could be barred entry organizations or individuals who trafficking conspiracy theories propaganda and lies to spread disinformation will not be tolerated and we will work with the white house correspondents' association to decide how to handle those instances moving forward. well this is a time when liberal media are being accused of singling out republicans for character assassinations one example is a newsweek feature on sen tom cotton and a long running claim that he falsified his military career and revolves around cottons claim to have served as an army ranger based on a 2 month training course he once did

a range of school the magazines that is that the times a ranger is associated with an elite unit in the army or the senators that is the liberal media have always referred to a range of school graduates as army rangers to illustrate that point back in 2015 newsweek is self identified to theme brain just school graduates as army ranges but recently the outlets edited that 5 year old piece to say that women will be allowed to wear the coveted ranger top on their uniforms meanwhile a conservative commentators are bracing for a new climate of hostility under the bided administration and one fox news anchor had a stern warning for where the country is heading you shoes are all around you know never in american history has there been pressure on this scale well i spoke with legal and media analyst lionel he thinks the new u.s. administration is eager to suss out on wanted views. think about this you have

press press option press availability to the office of the president of the united staes states being shut off by somebody who markets in who grovels in these terms propaganda i'm sorry who a.b.c. you're improv again well you're in our propaganda n.b.c. you're in the conspiracy there is no you're into our conspiracy there is it's not the fact that they are lying or they're propagandistic or they're conspiratorial know it's the wrong conspiracy the wrong propaganda and they're wrong lies that's the problem just think about this 8 days ago since this president was inaugurated care has been this mad rush to scrum this huge memory shouldn't fly from every conceivable area to stifle and to shutter any type of speech for any reason there in gorged in this this feeding frenzy they can't get enough of this

but i'm telling you they have pushed their limits there is they are going to be in for a very big surprise very very soon. science fiction is becoming a reality as most may get its 1st flying taxis within a couple of years if a russian urban and ability company has started testing so-called passenger drones assays constantine roscoff was 1st in the queue. 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 or. 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 rad knock in case of emergency and babble it jacked it parachute. just. of course using it as the air transport passenger is 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 just sit there choose the points 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 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. 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 city authorities must figure out where to allow such vehicles to operate as for now moscow considering devoting the certain areas within the city limits for outdoor tasks to bring in hopes moscow could be one of the 1st capitals to use the catch phrase of dark brown back to the future of the war in inventor i.

i. the new u.s. secretary of state has said washington is ready to revive the iran nuclear deal but only have to wrong meet its commitments. around it 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 a wrong to limit its uranium enrichment in exchange for sanctions relief the trumpet ministration withdrew from the g c j c p o a n 2018 but it's still being up held by russia the e.u. and china which have all cold on washington to return to the treaty onstage edition of well the pot it discusses the future of the deal with the iranian foreign

minister has some of the interview which is available to watch in full on r.t. dot com. we want to make sure this is not better then i just say it would be lived by the terms of the deal rather than by by its own desires 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 political 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 them actually we do and that is also written in that into the deed. benda united states decided to punish us we had 300 kilograms of enriched uranium you know when joe biden 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 and 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 minimum make it 3 a good job why didn't i ever not buddies 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 in vision he disagreed but visibility. i think. is the basis for understanding but again it's not just on the issue of who's in the white house is the issue 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. pewit in the new kids eat but in fact the impact of that sickness should the effect of that signature on riveting making to see that if they have if they returned

to duty with full effect. benefiting the iranian people knowing that their policy of maximum pressure has already faded then we are willing to go back to the full terms of the deal. they can watch that full interview and find plenty more news stories on our website r.t. dot com we're back with the latest news headlines in 30 minutes it was the year that. secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however he even the most prosperous can be deceived within this 0 song there were 2 view houses were our prison was located and only cia people had access to the story for investigators sure hell they uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean there you go read it nor in.

because i was going on the phone one mobile i don't make a name for the moment and i don't know why schmitz in columbus mission but if. this is a. put me in the middle i must look at that face that is off the pad of some of the line up. with us i've got to get the last alias. now if you get a line that says that people. want to song it to those kids to shred the blue zones of out on either side of the us side because. the bust of one of the stone in charge of failing to show could pull them out of them if one wants.

question one if. welcome to the circus. so we're now going into what we call the go to sign sometimes. good means flower son means storm. sun means flowers that can grow even on storms. the circus country which is located in afghanistan but i think it's very different than . that in the rest of. their it from denmark is one of the founders of the couple circus which is barely bigger than the average afghan backyard. in afghanistan things everything is designed made.
