i'm not. plains covert vaccination campaign grinds to a halt in parts of the country our supplies run out prompting doctors to question the e.u. is handling the vaccine procurement. we're concerned that apparently those countries did purchase vaccines in a higher price than the european union have not experienced such doing deliveries 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 polls beyond a 100000 in the nation braces for even tougher restrictions. french
5:01 pm
lawmakers and doctors vent their frustration at the country's failure to develop effective covert vaccine. taxis could soon be taking to the skies over moscow as a russian startup tests its latest innovation our correspondent took one 1st spin. city traffic is no longer an issue instead of driving along congested highways this taxi should take you from a the b. by if you're. very welcome you're watching r t international with me here and. now 2 of spain's most populous regions have halted covert vaccination campaigns over an e.u. wide supply shortfall madrid and council lonia have used up almost all available
5:02 pm
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 the destruction this task will prolong the fight against the virus madrid as catalonia have administered almost all available doses and all remaining supplies are needed to provide seconds doses 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 at 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
5:03 pm
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 there's a picture playing out across the e.u. where just 2 percent of citizens have been vaccinated for lower than the numbers in the u.k. and u.s. and with vaccine makers pfizer and astra zeneca 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 regard to the contract 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 didn't purchase vaccines in a higher price than the european union have not experienced such delay in delivery
5:04 pm
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 deaths by 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 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 accord. ask or are closed on borders are open 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
5:05 pm
week alone more than 8500 people have died from covert 19 in the u.k. and the government is rolling out ever tougher restrictions the lockdown has been extended for at least 3 weeks and people cannot go out without a valid reason all public gatherings are banned and police are getting tough on those who step out of line but escape partridge explains sometimes the rule breakers are the officers and 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 weddings and even baby showers with a baby shower. or. retarded or because you're all here
5:06 pm
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 oh oh oh oh oh. oh i thought the british really do ok for you. to be obvious asperse very surprised as examiner certain stores are ok because of their national logs are aware of the you know exam to google to a little 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
5:07 pm
a haircut if you're eating their superiors and seeing each of fending officers slapped with a 200 pound fine because 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 cafe since march the police have issued 32000 fines across england and wales penalties row shoppy jury indians' november look 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
5:08 pm
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 the world are in 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 pay to do that and i think that's what's happening it's it's a really weird time and this goes against all the all the training all the things
5:09 pm
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 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 their colleagues they have to be in the police station but they're also resting people in the street and it is so they are the forefront. and needs to have a decent society that they they have the vaccination as early as possible france was once the world leader in fact seems development now the failure to devote to develop its own code has become a source of shame for the political establishment. france has
5:10 pm
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 0 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
5:11 pm
or 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 it's live that's a key 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
5:12 pm
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 i would be surprised if it was a problem 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. levanon has been gripped by a 3rd night of anti lockdown on rest hundreds were injured as rioters torched and

vandalized property in tripoli. the military police fired tear gas and water cannon in response as protesters threw stones and tried to break into government headquarters level long 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 cut the spread of infections the head of the lebanese red cross told us how tough life is right now. with many areas you want to look through and you do that they have to get. regulations and the people are fighting for any gardening don't need to be there to help them to see how they can manage them and then we live and. today no hospital. and. you will not get to spend. the end there have we had a paving

5:18 pm
a president from can't even use twitter anymore and he can't use other social media outlets and you're seeing conservatives get banned left and right and you can't lump everybody in the same group together and you can't go ahead and thin out f.b.i. or intelligence community resources to you know be monitoring the facebook of some midwestern grandma who's upset at joe biden and meanwhile miss you know probably potential communications going on between terrorists in and out of the united states. the white house is preparing to tighten its rules on her can attend media offense that buys an administration has that house its criteria on a hit could be entry organizations or individuals who trafficking conspiracy theories propaganda and lies to spread disinformation will not be tolerated and we work with the white house correspondents association to decide how to handle those instances moving forward. well this at
5:19 pm
a time when the 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 it revolves around cottons claim to have served as an army ranger based on a 2 month training course he once did as a ranger school for the magazine says the title ranger is associated with an elite unit in the army or the senator says the liberal media have always referred to ranger school graduates as army rangers to illustrate that point back in 2015 newsweek itself identified 2 female ranger school graduates as army rangers but recently the outlet edited the 5 year old piece to say that women will be allowed to wear the coveted ranger tab on their uniforms well meanwhile conservative commentators are bracing for
5:20 pm
a new climate of hostility under the biden administration and one fox news anchor had a stern warning for where the country is heading. all around you know never in american history has there been pressure on this scale. but was legal a media analyst line he thinks the new u.s. administration is eager to shut out on wanted views. think about this you have press press option press availability to the office of the president of the united states states being shut off by somebody who markets and who grovels in these terms propaganda i'm sorry one who a.b.c. you're improv again while 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 their propaganda stake or their conspiratorial know
5:21 pm
it's the wrong conspiracy the wrong propaganda and the wrong lies that the problem just think about this 8 days ago since this president was inaugurated carries bendis mad rush to scrum this huge memory shouldn't flux 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 and they are going to be in for a very big surprise very very soon. u.s. computer games retail a game stop has seen its shares to skyrocket recently despite bets against the stock from wall street trading companies the rally has been driven by a large number of small investors but company had seen its shares falling for years which drew the attention of wall street traders betting on
5:22 pm
a further drop however last autumn a movement started on the message board read it to alter the trend a large number of small investors started to buy call options which led to a spike in the company's shares resulting in the stock jumping 12 fold in 2 weeks but after wednesday's drop many analysts are anticipating a further decline in the meantime the volatility has already cost billions to trading companies and while regulators are looking at possible rules violations the situation has also drawn attention of the highest ranking u.s. officials interesting it and i understand that the administration is taking a lot to se thea's taking a walk and what they're it is. we'll all be reviewing it but interesting well max kaiser host of artie's kinds of report thinks this case lays bare the corruption at the top of wall street. so what these traders have done what these
5:23 pm
reddit traders have done is exposed or shine a light on the illegal practices of hedge funds and this should have been addressed many years ago because the objective of hedge funds like melvin capital which is associated with citadel that has on their board ben bernanke the former fed chairman is to put these companies out of business and to profit on their collapse and that of course doesn't help the economy at all and people lose jobs so we have to applaud the reddit and the wall street bets people for bringing back some law and order and some equilibrium to these markets they're doing the absolute right thing and we need to support them if we believe in free markets and if we believe in capitalism if we don't and the objective is price fixing and to go to a command controlled economy in america then that's what we're going to end up with if we let hedge funds dominate the price discovery and engage in this massive price
5:24 pm
fixing that the reddit people have exposed. science fiction is becoming every ality as most going to make it to flying taxis within a couple of years of russian been am ability company has started testing so-called passenger drones he's constant in rushkoff 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 red knock in case of emergency and that i will jacked it parachute.
5:25 pm
just. 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 of texas is by lets inside and that person just just sit there choose the
5:26 pm
points on the map and the flight that sold 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 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 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 doc brown back to the future to lure an inventor.

5:29 pm
hi i'm max tazz or this is the kaiser report so much going on let's check in with stacy right max you know how history rhymes might not necessarily repeat exactly but it certainly rhymes and we're seeing flash back 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 law stay in a law the old saying 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 go
5:30 pm
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 that's a mindset that nurtures inflation that's right besser we've been talking.
