those who took. it invested over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these an article that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. process strikes on threats to control covert job exports to northern ireland after u.k. fury but the e.u. seems policy no less to stop critical supply shortages from job manufacturers we're covering it all this morning. but coming as both france and germany entry from states with new mutated covert strains of detective moves criticized by business leaders and opposition parties who say it's going to damage the economy. plus the u.s. business so to get death threats it even on the phone for posting that her husband backs donald trump speak to the woman direct. one gentlemen actually said she was

coming to kill me one person 3 babies and i can tell you that it was bad enough that law enforcement had to get. to our moscow time at the weekend good morning from us here then it's kevin 0 in there with the latest from me for you from hearty this saturday morning good start well 1st off the e.u. has removed export controls on covert vaccines to northern ireland after a few reaction from britain. the u.k. has legal and binding agreements with facts and supplies and that would not expect the e.u. as a friend and ally to do anything to disrupt the fulfillment of these contracts the commission will ensure that the ireland northern ireland protocol is unaffected the commission is not triggering the safeguard clause should transits of vaccines an

active substances toward 3rd countries be abused to circumvent the effects of the authorization system the e.u. will consider using all the instruments at its disposal so it is an incredible state of affairs but it shows to me that all of their words around protecting northern ireland protecting the belfast agreement were just out words and actually what they've been doing is easing northern ireland as a pawn in their negotiations. russell's concession allowed britain to get e.u. vaccines through northern ireland then but next to show the dubinsky reports this morning the question is what the vaccines with the blocks offer gets out of severe shortages of a covert job at the moment. european union has confirmed that it's taking this extraordinary step of introducing export controls on a could get vaccines this means that any vaccine it is manufactured within ringback the block that's the $27.00 countries will not be able to be exported outside the block and this comes amidst

a huge drought that's been blowing up of the last few days over that delivery shortfalls of the dose is this a collision of concerns that the transponding sea and export will flow for 92 accidents. as a protection and safety of our citizens is a perfect. that is companies to increase production and knowledge we expect them to do that work well for this huge public spat that's been playing out over the last few days and it really comes down to the call that this is between the european union and astra zeneca as you mentioned and andrew swedish form a company that's been producing one of the qubit 900 vaccines now astra zeneca has said that it wouldn't be able to supply the full amount that it takes agreed on paper with the european union saying that it was actually going to be delivering around 25 percent of the $100000000.00 doses it then sent to the european union local trying for each that at to about 30 percent but the e.u.

is reject it they still say that that offer just wasn't acceptable and that they needed to fulfill the contract they've even gone as far as on friday publishing a redacted version of that contract between selves and astra zeneca from their perspective they want to show that that contract has been broken now astra zeneca says that's not the case that u.k. signed its contract with astra zeneca 3 months before. really you didn't when astra zeneca says that you know it's trying to make up the shortfall and it's a little table too because the production issue at its to city in belgium now this comes as a mix the fact that investigators we even sent to astra zeneca is production plant in belgium to check to see if it actually was a problem with the production and miss rumors that some vaccine had been shipped to the united kingdom now one german m.p.'s said this entire spat is astra zeneca is

full of astra zeneca will suffer if they treat people in the world's biggest market as 2nd class citizens this is also now likely to cause problems for the united kingdom which of course recently officially net the european union's foreign breaks it was expecting at delivery of some $40000000.00 doses of the pfizer bio med tech lab scene that are being produced suiting facility in belgium there is now a question as to whether that vaccine would be allowed to leave the european union and go to the u.k. as it was originally planned now the e.u. has been struggling to obtain enough vaccine doses despite placing huge orders over the last year or so so much so that some areas of europe are either having to delay the rollout of the program or having to hold to temporarily altogether it really feels as if protectionism is now being ramped up in essentially what is turning into a war over access to a drug in

a vaccine that is supposed to prevent 19. for many people etheridge told us brussels is now than trying to cover up for its failure to secure a proper shop supplies european union failed correctly toward about things that they need in the 1st place and they're both jealous of the speed inefficient rollout of the u.k.'s most to do without having the e.u. bureaucracy hampering us this isn't a case of it being more important it's a case of the fact that we placed our orders 1st we plan better we do get more efficiently the being found out was being completely inefficient the news organization and instead of. understanding the us and trying to find a way to talk raise and work alongside partners in it or throw its toys out of the problem like an angry baby and we will warrant in the u.k. we were told if we let the e.u. we would suffer we wouldn't get medicines we wouldn't get supplies but it looks

like it's the other way around doesn't it it looks like it's there you have the shoe and date of the problem and you know i feel for the people of europe the answer for me would be that they leave the e.u. and start dealing with things properly effectively of efficiently on their own like we have. meantime france is closing its borders to non european travelers all together neighboring germany stopping visitors from countries where new mutated strains of the virus have been detected both powerhouses of suffering a spike in corona virus cases at the moment france has reported more than 20000 new cases a day all week with one in 10 of those being new strains and the hopeful boost from vaccines as materialized either because of the extreme delays in vaccines applies across the block is our europe correspondent breaking down the travel bans. this weekend tough new restrictions on travelers coming into germany from 7 different countries will come into place from saturday they're already here when it comes to

travelers arriving for me you men the states ireland and portugal as well as those coming from the united kingdom brazil and south africa from sunday that list will grow to 7 to include the african nations of s. what danny and lee so to the reason these have been put in place is that these nations serve sea rises and the infections of mutated variants of the corona virus the german interior minister horse and say hoff said that before they were officially put in place that germany would have to do they speak because there wasn't a unified e.u. solution on the horizon you couldn't. information searing all the information we have we do not expect there to be european solution that meet or expect a sions in the near future and that is why we are preparing as a nation there are some exceptions for those coming into germany german citizens and permanent residents will be allowed to arrive from those nations on that list

transit passengers and those travelling to do with the movement of goods will also be permitted to travel but those are the exceptional circumstances that have been granted by the the german side it hasn't gone down. well politically with the opposition here in germany the greens have called it an affront to germany's e.u. partners for berlin to act unilaterally in this way while the free democrats have said that it basically covers up the fact that the vaccination program here in germany hasn't been going as well as people would have liked floods and trouble burned zuko but it's unlike these we need much 1st of its nation vaccines are the most reliable in the only way out of this pandemic it may not be popular with everyone but the travel bans are in place all travelers arriving from 7 different nations here to germany and they will be in place until the 17th of february at least because all along doesn't

a columnist richard one of told us the travel ban could end up hurting the german economy too. so it is a copy of the u.k. policies they banned. people from tanzania and africa and brazil and they claimed that you know it's because of this new strain which is not really clear is not really well established. and other countries like germany saw that they believe the u.k. statements government statements and they say well then we ban u.k. travelers as well and the same with the u.k.'s banning but it doesn't make any sense well already the restrictions have caused severe downturn in the economy in the year 2020 but any further restrictions will of course further damage the economy. german businesses are very international even local small family owned businesses tend to be international exporters and to get

international deals 'd you do need some travel i don't see the need for that and the medical case doesn't seem to be there either it hasn't been demonstrated and also isn't being at the proper detail cost benefit analysis. as it's being proposed should really include a very detailed analysis of all the costs and all the benefits well let's look at that 1st before we further considers that proposal. so different now us woman's received death threats online on our phone against both a cell phone a family for a very revealing her husband back donald trump mary jane hamblin posted a photo on facebook of her husband and friends then getting ready to go to trump's last rally as president but she was accused of being a terrorist and was even threatened with physical violence she told to speak more about a story. somebody's got to hold a picture of my personal page and imagine somebody that. knows me inside.

him in about 5 o'clock at night mind their own shop started getting some ugly phone calls and it just it just kind of spiraled from there some people took that stamps haven't started putting the owners of the shop or domestic terrorists and the phone just was ringing in ringing in ringing and i can tell you on the thursday and friday our phone never stopped ringing and 1st we were answering it. but when you're hearing things like i hope your building burns i hope you don't i hope you're right and how. one gentleman actually said he was coming to kill me one person threatened my grandbabies and i can tell you that it was bad enough that law enforcement had to get in and give us some advice on how to keep everybody safe space scary to get that will help those adults not stall and detractors targeted their business as well seems they've flooded its online pages with negative reviews they were after then telling a story to a local t.v.

station she also began getting support from across the country she told us why this comes down and have you to freedom of expression. you can walk through the through the doors of the right down and shout it no matter what your power sees are we treat everyone with the same kindness and love and respect everybody gets treated the same way because that's the america we have a right to think differently into espresso views without being made to be without someone if you don't think the way we think we're going to show your business. that you don't even live in the now you think the only thing we're going to torment you that is it is not the country we grew up in i understand there's people that may not want to come here because they choose not to support a business that believes one way or another and that's the greatest thing a better country you can spend your money anywhere that you want. the mayor of new

york's demanding the truth about the pandemic the death toll in nursing homes after the state's attorney general revealed the official statistics were misleading we have to make sense of this we have to get the full truth and we have to make sure it never ever happens again nothing like this happens again and we have to be honest about the numbers the official numbers state around 8000 covert deaths in state care homes but according to the attorney general's report they could be significantly higher is kind of mocha reports. the nursing home scandal hanging over new york state governor andrew cuomo is head just won't go away a new report from the state's attorney general indicates that deaths in the elderly care homes could actually be 50 percent higher than was originally reported that's up to 13000 lives lost in new york it only tallied up the number who actually died within elderly care facilities not including those who went to the hospital after

getting infected as the pandemic in their investigations continue it is imperative that understand why the residents of nursing homes in new york and the saudis suffered at such an alarming rate well we cannot bring back the individuals who lost to this crisis this report seeks to offer transparency that the public deserves and to spur increased action to protect our most vulnerable residents the report singled out almost decision to send coded patients to elderly care homes it was an attempt to free up hospital spaces that may have cost 4800 new york the lives cuomo is office dismissed the report as an accurate the word on the count implies to remove total fatalities than have been reported this is functionally rome the department of health has consistently made clear that on numbers reports based on the place of death those words are of little comfort to saw a local news media just lost both of her in-laws last summer and she couldn't hold back her feelings a family was affected and i wasn't seeing the coverage i wasn't seeing the

questions being asked of this governor he continued to pass the blame on everyone else and everything else and he still to this day will not accept any responsibility democrats and republicans have now lined up to condemn cuomo reports for new york state's handing of crude 19 in nursing homes reveals a profound failure of executive leadership governor cuomo and the new york state department of health treating our elders as expandable as if their lives were nothing more. the cost of doing business this is shocking and unconscionable but not surprising governor actually wrote a book about leadership in the middle of the covert 1000 pandemic but as we learned today and as many suspected he never told the whole story at the start of the pandemic mainstream us media poured the law on to governor andrew cuomo for is handling of the pandemic in new york state but now it seems pretty clear that he made a bad decision and the media's darling is facing

a full blown scandal. artsy new york dave lindorff founding editor of the new site discover how being told a says reaction to the story. i think the worst thing cuomo did was suspending transferring people with cove it out of hospitals and into nursing homes the other direction. and exposing the patients in those nursing homes who weren't sick with kind of it with the coded you know serious covered infections of the people that were being moved from the hospitals to get them out of the hospitals and make more room for more patients and i may be personally sensitive to that because my mother in law died of covidien a new jersey nursing home which was doing the same thing where you know the state was shifting people out of hospitals in new jersey into nursing homes and then presenting those nursing homes which are much lower staffed and much less good at

infection control than hospitals are and not surprisingly the disease spread right through them in the us because the government until very recently would not subsidize. any home care for the elderly you know you have your elderly parents who don't want to be or can't be taking care of by you so you would normally what you would want to do is how hire somebody to come into the house each day or maybe even live in the house take care your elderly parents. and you couldn't get a subsidy from the government to do that says very expensive to do the nursing home industry which is mostly for profit has lobbied very intensively with a lot of money to politicians in every state to not provide decent funding for in home care of your elderly parents. now is an interesting tale of

videogame retailer in the u.s. it's funny stuff for the center of a trading battle with small time investors put in themselves against wall street giants no less retail again still may have heard this. we saw its share price saw this week after traders got together on online message boards and agreed to save the struggling company but then a twist it dived after brokerage firms intervened restricting trading for a day and causing an outcry among the small investors you accuse the trading platforms of defending the big investment banks who were trying to crash the stock dimitri takes a closer look. so by now you've probably heard of the whole while should game stop credit fiasco but if you're one of the many people whose mind goes completely numb when you hear the words stock hedge fund short selling well don't worry here's a short teal the our version of what's going on game stop it's a chain of video game stores some people love him some people hate him but their

business has been kind of bad lately melon capital a bunch of guys from wall street who have formed a hedge fund that essentially makes money off of businesses failing stocks or shares representations of ownership of a company so if a company is doing well then the cost of these stocks are shares goes up if it's failing they go down so in this case a bunch of guys from wall street in a hedge fund decided to make a bet that game stuff will fail which it kind of was already they did this using a term called short selling it's basically when you borrow a bunch of stock sell it which lowers the price of the stock then wait for it to become dirt cheap buy it back return it to whoever you borrowed it from and while up profit this was supposed to be the stop in game stop but things didn't really go according to plan a bunch of crazy guys from reddit essentially decided to give the middle finger to wall street they did this using what's called a short squeeze they started buying

a bunch of games up shares which made their price skyrocket like thousands of percent and now these poor hedge fund guys have to return all that stock they borrowed and a huge loss they're going bankrupt because they lost billions of dollars and wall street is very mad so are the politicians behind them but the internet sees this whole thing as karmic justice because wall street has been playing this game for literally years hence all the means. being the sore losers that they are wall street is now trying to make a point that regular people should not be allowed to buy or sell stock only wall

street robinhood in online stock trading platform has already barred its users from buying any more against up shares and now they're getting sued regular people are just now buying bad stocks all over the place and adding more fuel to the fire celebrities and politicians are also joining in on the fun the moral of the story seems to be that if wall street wants to screw over businesses and make billions of dollars well that's fine that's this as usual but if regular people want to do the same thing to wall street well we've got a problem. much because a host of artie's kaiser report says the small investors effort should be praised for exposing the questionable practices a big wall street traders that. so what these traders have done what these reddit traders have done is exposed or shine a light on the eve legal 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 fixing that the reddit people have exposed. coach mike says show on this channel the next street protesters appear out in force raging across poland against

a near total ban on abortions which took effect on wednesday hugely controversial this is proving the capital war sorceror 2000 protesters come out on a 3rd night of rallies a huge show of force there is thousands of women's rights protesters marched to the h.q. of the rule of law and justice party defying pandemic restrictions that brought a lot of criticism to know critics say the new law violates women's rights and was forced on the country with public support and some of the ground the action now from the e.u. which is not at all happy. other burden falls on the doctors who have to make a very difficult choice they can be brave in saying that no statement changes or the law can continue to do abortions and back east they will be sued by the state and we will help them what is happening inside pretty matters it's scary and that was thinking is that actually the european union and european community doesn't do anything to help us with this i don't want to leave balance because it's my country

and i don't want someone to push me out for their actions i'm going to fight for the country's future as long as i have strength and the hope that things will change soon as a lot of polish women have been going abroad for terminations because of it under the new law even pregnancy terminations because of incurable diseases all risk to the baby's health a bad means that 90 percent of abortions that had been conducted until now in poland have been criminalized punishable by prison time the law in only permits terminations because of rape incest or a risk to the mother's life that law was passed by poland's constitutional tribunal back in october but needed 3 months to take effect because of the scale of public opposition as a say has been condemned by brussels which says the ruling puts women's lives at risk the ears accuse the ruling party of heaping pressure on judges to pass the ruling and called it a sign of the collapse of the rule of law in the country but all that said poland's top court insists is just asserting the right to life. the constitutional

court once again affirmed that a person has the right to life from the moment of conception human life has the same value before birth as when a person is young and adult or elderly the polish legal system is built on that basis abortion means taking a child's life the eugenic premises for the killing of the unborn violate that constitutional basis early in a care and discuss the near total ban on abortions than on the a response to the panel of experts. i think that they've done the right thing and credit to them for deciding that eugenics abortions shouldn't be allowed just as you heard the judges say that their constitution is founded on the basis of a right to life and that life is infinitely precious human life is infinitely valuable just because some baby has got some kind of thing like down's syndrome or some other. thing wrong with it that doesn't mean that it gives it no right to life

this law we know will not stop. women in pregnant people from having abortions it just means that more people will have to travel for care which is risky during a pandemic also i want to correct something there was actually a poll out this week that showed that 69 percent of people in poland support these protests so 69 percent of poland's people are in support of the people who are on the streets protesting i hope that all this government listens they hope the listens i hope the law changes people want us to. call these. 4 to go on. to police this chapter what about the role of the e.u. here do you expect them to exert pressure on force all. i don't think they should i think that they let individual countries make their own decisions about these kind of conscience issues around abortion and what poland is doing is turning the tide

on the barbarism of the rest of the world the rest of europe and saying we're going to value life no matter how intimate how disabled it may be we're going to probably with some treasure it and look after it's the best of our intention and credit to poland i think poland is going to lead the way on this and hopefully the tide will turn in the rest of europe as well as a result they clearly in a very different position to these gentlemen because i understand the human cost of these laws the idea that this law is going to stop abortion is ludicrous it's going to stop abortions and it's going to start abortions for people who don't have financial means you know my feeling is that. abortion should be a decision between the pregnant person and a medical professional and everybody else can have whatever views they would like to have around man so that is why i don't do the school losing. lost. because they are just. less than.

what i hope that we. walk so i would. be sure. that. lives. and principles of. the state should not to be should. and that there was only one good for the well and one of being. so what's the should not be to use one should clearly and it's proven hugely controversial there if you want the courts holding it on our foot is past their whatever you doing this weekend hope you can go to work by the way thank you for watching us international when the team is appreciated have a good day. most

. when i was child small seemed wrong all right old quotes just don't hold. me to long yet to shape out just to become educated and in gain strength because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when you choose to look for common ground. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person and those words.
