a sleeve in the european union we see them act in this unilateral way the commission will ensure that the ireland northern ireland protocol is unaffected the commission is not triggering the safeguard clause. brussels concession will allow britain then to get e.u. vaccines through northern ireland but a charlatan bensky reports the question is what vaccines with a bloc suffering from its own survey shortages of the covert job right now. european union has confirmed that it's taking this extraordinary step of introducing export controls or not could get vaccines this means that any that seen it is manufactured within the block that's the $27.00 countries will log able to be exported outside the block and this comes amidst a huge fire that's been blowing up of the last few days over that delivery shortfalls of the dose is this a collision of concerns to the transparency and export of ford and you actually see

2:04 am
a redacted version of the contract between themselves and astra zeneca from their perspective they want to show that the contract has been broken now astra zeneca says that's more the case in u.k. signed its contract with astra zeneca 3 months before the due date but that's chosen because says that you know it's trying to make up the shortfall and it's a real danger too because the production issue at its facility in belgium now this comes at makes the fact that investigators will be even sent to astra zeneca the dutch in quarantine belgium to check to see if it actually was appropriate with the production and mix rumors that some vaccine had been shipped in hooked to the unwilling to kingdom now one gentleman in philly said this entire spy case astra zeneca is full austria's on a good will software they treat people in the world's biggest market as 2nd class citizens this is also not likely to cause problems for the united kingdom which of

course recently fish the next day european union for a little break 68 was expecting a delivery of some cool 1000000 doses of the finest bio med tech facts seem to be produced all suited facility in belgium and 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 all together it really feels as if protectionism is now being ramped up in essentially what is turning into ringback a war over access to a drug in a vaccine that is supposed to prevent 194 i mean through told us brussels is now in his view trying to. up for its failure to secure proper short supply. the european union failed correctly told about things that they needed in the 1st place and though jealous of the speed in official rollout of the u.k.'s most to do with those
2:06 am
having the e.u. bureaucracy hampering us it isn't a case of it being more important it's a case of the fact that we placed our orders 1st we play better we do get more efficiently the being found out was being completely in the fish and the news organization and instead of. understanding us and trying to find a way to talk raise and work alongside partners. to throw its toys out of the problem like an angry baby and we will warrant in the u.k. we were told if we left the we would suffer we wouldn't get medicines we wouldn't get supplies but it looks like it's the other way around us live it looks like it's there it will be shewn date of the problem and you know what will for the people of europe the answer for me will be that they leave the e.u. and start dealing with things properly effectively with fishing on their own like we have meantime let me tell you more about what's happening the small in france
2:07 am
for a start closing its borders now to non european travelers all together a neighbor in germany stopping visitors from countries where new mutated strains of the virus have been detected both e.u. powerhouses are suffering a spike in corona virus cases more precisely france has reported more than 20000 new cases a day all week with one in 10 of those being the new strains and the hopeful boost from vaccines as we were talking about they're not yet materializing because of the extreme delays in supplies across the block next our europe correspondent peter oliver breaking down the latest 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 meant 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
2:08 am
nations of s. what danny and lee so to the reason these have been put in place is that these nations have seen rises and the infections of mutated variants of the corona virus the german interior minister the horse and say hoff said 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 meter expectational in the future 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
2:09 am
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 bird zuko but it's time look these we must 1st of it's 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. it's been a long january so far as an economist richard werner spoke to support he says the travel ban is going to hurt even more now the german economy so it is a copy of the u.k. policies. and. people from tanzania and africa and brazil
2:10 am
and they claim that. 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. standing 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 would of course further damage the economy. german business is a very international even locals small family owned businesses tend to be international exporters and to get international deals 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
2:11 am
hasn't been demonstrated and also there's been a profit detail of cost benefit analysis either 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 a political. story next year but a us woman has received death threats online and on her phone to against both herself and her family for availing her husband backs donald trump mary jane hamblin posted a photo that on facebook of her husband and friends getting ready to go to trump's last rally as president she was accused of being quote a domestic terrorist and was even threatened with physical violence because of it she told us a story. somebody got a hold a picture of my personal page and i'd imagine somebody that. knows me inside. him and about 5 o'clock that night my son a chap started getting some ugly phone calls and it just it just kind of spiral
2:12 am
from there some people took that snapshot instead of putting the owners of the shop or domestic terrorists and the phone was ringing in ringing in ringing and i can tell you all day thursday and friday air phone never stopped ringing and the 1st we were answering it. but when you're hearing things like i hope your building burns i hope you die 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 the middle east and how to keep everybody safe well as you can see there is a donut shop and attacked has targeted the business as well flooding its online pages with negative reviews after telling her story then to a local t.v. station she also began getting support across the country as well so her story reflects a c.b.s. poll showing most americans now see their fellow citizens as the country's biggest
2:13 am
threats just 8 percent think foreign adversaries presents a bigger challenge marriage and how than again told us the issue boils down and have you to freedom of expression. you can walk through the through the doors of mine down and shut up in no matter what your policies are we treat everyone with the same kindness and love and respect everybody gets treated the same way because this is america and we have the right to think differently in to express our views without being and need to be a little someone saying if you don't think the way we think we're going to shut your business. if you don't live long in our you think the only thing we're going to torment you that is this 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 that's the greatest thing a better country you can spend your money anywhere that you. know that story
2:14 am
don't you see yet but a video game retailer in the us has found itself for the center of a big trading battle with small time investors putting themselves against wall street giants retell a game stop than saw its share price saw this week after i'm going to traders got together on online message boards agreed to try to save the struggling company but has caused a fuss now then dived after brokerage firms intervened which is what caused the fuss districting trading for a day and causing an outcry among small investors who accuse the trading platforms of defending the big investment banks who are trying to crash the stock still with me dimitri pollack explains more. so by now you've probably heard of the whole wall street 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
2:15 am
a chain of video game stores some people love him some people hate him but their business has been kind of badly 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
2:16 am
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 game stop shares which made the 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.
2:17 am
being the sort of 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 this is usual but if regular people want to do the same thing to wall street well we've got a problem. that's going to be for singapore the lights it's a welcome financial company said jim rogers on the line there was welcome on this program morning chip off the new way you mainstream media than a wall street expert screaming blue murder of this but of course many on social media say it completely the other way around and beating wall street is so gay what

2:19 am
bought microsoft that's not illegal now some people then go and buy it now if you and i lie and say ok we're going to do this and we plot and manipulate that's different but to go into the public and say let's i'm going to buy the stock you should buy it too i'm sorry i have trouble understanding why that's there's something wrong with that nancy pelosi she supported by this she says she's monitoring small investors actions if but i suppose the other side of that is if anyone needs probing it's maybe that saw the you know the corrupt hedge funds profiting from other's misfortune. but it wait a minute wait what's corrupt about selling short people have been doing it for hundreds of years it's legal all over the we're told it's not corrupt that somebody's making an investment judgment now this case they got it wrong but when i make a mistake kevin it can i call you up and say i made a mistake save me save me know you're not going to save me nobody is. another
2:20 am
thought wall street institutions of a record profits of record unemployment i would never think beaten down so hard ordinary people are right to be angry at their mother in law could this spill over into another wall street set of violence or not think. one reason wall street is having record profits is so many people are trading all the people you're talking about on robin hood and other brokers are all trading that's why was streets having record profits they're having record profits because so many are playing the game and many of those people are making money to see or a david not goliath an ok financial commentator jim rogers is either which way or was welcome on this program thank you for making the time to be with us have a good day i pleasure cabin. see we also got to talk about the mayor of new york demanding the truth about the pandemic death toll in
2:21 am
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 stayed around 8000 covert deaths in stake but according to the attorney general's report they could be significantly higher artie's kellam open explains. 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 condemning their investigations continue it is imperative
2:22 am
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 while most decision to send covert patients to elderly care homes it was an attempt to free up hospital space 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 has been reported this is functionally rome the department of health has consistently made clear that our numbers are reports based on the place of death those words are of little comfort to solve a local news media or ologist 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
2:23 am
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 from 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 his 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 of speccing a full blown scandal. artsy new york dave lindorff founding editor of the new
2:24 am
site this company heartening told us his reaction to the story. i think the worst thing cuomo did was suspending transferring people with coded 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 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 home pusher much lower staffed and much less good at
2:25 am
infection control than hospitals are and not surprisingly the disease spread right through them in the u.s. 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. so i think looking so far this weekend we talk about so much more on line r.t. dot com if you get
