covered the darkest dealings of the secret service is what i mean. you've. been. saying for justice. in the headlines this hour brussels will control covert action exports but is making an exception for northern ireland is the big news. reaction from the u.k. despite the jobs themselves remaining a desperately short supply. it comes as germany pounds entry from states where due mutated covert strains have been detected in france shuts its borders to no leverage it does altogether been criticized by business leaders and opposition parties who say it's going to further damage the economy. also a story about a us business owner getting death threats online and even on the phone for posting

that her husband donald trump she talks to us. one gentleman actually said she was coming to kill me one person 3 make these. tell you that it was bad enough that law enforcement. see the weekend good day from moscow kevin 0 in here with the latest from us for you this saturday great to have you company 1st in the e.u.'s announced it will control the export of covert vaccines given the drastic shortages of the jab within the block but following an angry reaction from britain now news that brussels is making an exception for northern ireland. the u.k. has legal or binding agreements with vax and supplies and that would not expect the e.u. as a friend on our wide to do anything to disrupt the fulfillment of these contracts

to an act of aggression actually less than a month into us leaving 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 to get e.u. vaccines through northern ireland but it showed penske reports next the question is what bugs seeds with a block suffering its own severe shortages of the job. european union has confirmed that it is taking this extraordinary step of introducing export controls on a covert vaccines this means that any vaccine it is manufactured within the block that's the $27.00 countries will not be able to be exported outside the block and this comes amidst a huge drug that's been blowing up of the last few days over that delivery shortfalls of the dose is this a collision concern so that the transparency and export of for 92 exceeds. 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 and andrew swedish form a company that's been producing one of the qubit $900.00 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 try and increase that at to about 30 percent but the e.u. has rejected 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 the e.u. didn't. well 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 at mit's the fact that investigators we even sent 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 in lefty european union followed breaks

it it was expecting at delivery of some $40000000.00 doses of the pfizer buy on tech last seen that are being produced also to 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 it temporarily all together it really feels as if protectionism is now being ramped up in essentially what is turning into a war over access to a drug and a vaccine that is supposed to prevent 19 and i guess some of this could have been expected we discussed the spark between the e.u. and astra zeneca we've guests while 4 of the people etheridge things the blocks paying for poor planning professor francesco result has his a lack of communication between brussels and those vaccine makers astra zeneca were

under a number of obligations to keep the commission informed of what was going on i do not believe that that has actually happened how is it that a week before we were supposed to be getting approval and then our sosa liveries we suddenly discovered that we're only going to get. 31000000 just this is extraordinary keating that european union wanted to make sure that they had their initial 100 whatever it was 1000000 doses that clearly hasn't happened so there has been a disconnect shankly the train astra zeneca and the european union and the european union failed correctly it's all about things that they need in the 1st place and they're both jealous of the speedy and official role of the yukos most to do with those having the e.u. bureaucracy how previous it isn't a case of it being more important it's a case of the fact that we placed our orders 1st we'd better we do have more efficiently than the being found out was being completely in the fish and 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 ground like an angry baby and we will warrant in the u.k. we were told if we let the we would circle we wouldn't get medicines we wouldn't get supplies but it looks like it's the other way around doesn't it meantime more big news in this weekend is that france is closing its borders to non european travelers altogether and neighboring germany stopping visitors from countries where new mutated strains of the virus have been detected both a new powerhouses are suffering a spike in corona virus cases more precisely france has reported more than 20000 new cases a day or week with one in 10 of those being new strains and the hoped for boost from those vaccines who are talking about hasn't materialized because of the extreme delays in supplies across the block again that we've been talking about here our europe correspondent peter oliver breaks 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 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. white danny and lee so too 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. information searing all the information we have we do not expect there to be european solution that meets or expect

a sions in the near 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 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 look these we must 1st of its mission 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 of travelers arriving from 7 different nations here to germany and they will be in place until the 17th of february at least another 4 from this economist richard werner told us this travel buying could of course end up hurting more the german economy too and so it is a copy of the u.k. policies as they banned. people from tanzania and africa and brazil 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 '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 there isn't been a proper detail 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 proposal. for us we're going to receive death threats online and i phone against both ourselves and our family for availing her husband back donald trump mary jane hamlin then posted a photo on facebook of her husband and friends getting ready to go to trump's last rally as president almost immediately she was accused of being

a quote domestic terrorist and was even threatened with physical violence spoke to us direct old us more of her story. somebody got a hold a picture off my personal page and i'd imagine somebody that. knows me inside. him and about 5 o'clock that night my don't show up started getting some ugly phone calls and it just it just kind of spiraled from there some people took that snapshot instead of putting the owners of the shop or domestic terrorists and the sound just was ringing in ringing and ringing and i can tell you all day thursday and friday our phone never stopped ringing and the 1st we were inserting it. but when you're hearing things like i hope you're building burns i hope you die i hope you rot in hell. 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 them advice on how to keep everybody safe . owns a donut shop and a truck to target it is business as well flooding its own one pages with negative reviews though after she told a story to a local t.v. station she also began getting support system said as well from across the country a story may be reflecting a new c.b.s. poll out showing most americans now see their fellow citizens as the country's biggest threat just 8 percent think foreign of the series present a bigger challenge marriage and how to do it again telling us the issue boils down and have you to freedom of expression. you can walk through to through the doors of lie down and shut up 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 america and we have the right to think differently in to express our views without being made to be a free without someone saying if you don't think the way we think we're going to

shut your business. if you don't admit that you're wrong in the now you think the we think we're going to torment you that is it's not the country 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 are this is our to international fame to fame with us as we can we appreciate you taking the time out of your weekend coming up to make salary reading them out of the official the unofficial mayor of new york once this is often official report warns coronavirus deaths in care homes may be a lot worse even than clay you were on it after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in this very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. anyone else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just to educate and in detroit equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

again so the mare of new york demanding the truth about the pandemic 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 states around 8000 covert deaths in state care homes but according to the attorney general's report they could be significantly. caleb maupin 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 has been reported this is factually 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 solve 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. then 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 this can't be happening and son of a covert victim said new york's bungled pun demick response in his view has contributed to the problem. 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 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 to look for 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 taken 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 modern day david and goliath tale a video game retailer in the u.s. senate suffer the center of a trading partner with small time investors putting themselves against wall st john's return a game stop you may have heard so it shipped pro. we saw this week after amateur traders got together on online message boards and agreed to try to save said struggling company where they all dived of the brokerage firms intervened restricting trading for a day and causing an outcry among the small investors who accused the trading platforms of defending the big investment banks who were trying to crash the stock it's complicated but dimitri polka revels it. 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 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 stuck 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 they must then 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 game stuff 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 at 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 so what's the view of the expert on long time financial commentator jim rogers what he told me in his view the group of small investors is go nothing to

apologize for they've done nothing wrong well this if somebody wants to buy the stock and and it goes up that's perfectly legal and legitimate and why not i find it outrageous that somebody tried to stop them you know i so short at times but it's an open market that people buy and sell as they wish don't try to control the market that's outrageous if i go on t.v. and tell you that i have bought such a stock is that illegal i do it all the time not just me all over the world people go on t.v. internet radio and say yes i have bought. whatever stocks i have bought stocks i have bought microsoft that's not illegal now some people then go and buy it now if you and i plot and say ok we're good 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 and it was your bra just wrap it up this bulleted that's the way things are looking so far this weekend jackie's here and how often i you know must go for now though kevin though in the address the team signing off and i wish you great weekend. guys a financial final shot today was all about money laundering 1st visit this is just a different. oh good this is a good start well we have our 3 banks all set up here maybe something if you're something going to america something overseas in the cayman islands or do all these banks are complicit in the progress that we just have to give mccomas a camera to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did well we've got
