the ongoing route between the e.u. and u.k. if i ask is that a comeback seems intensifies with france and germany saying the company should face penalties if it does not meet its obligations. to. a fresh wave of demonstrations gret product so but a controversial new security bill that sounds french police complain that some protesters are out of conviction we hear from the police union representative of police. so we should to do to. see. who is willing to tell you 2 services to register them in the fall and put them on the house to respond with these 2 situations that you still see just never seen that much. more

than the black lives matter to me as much as nominated for a nobel peace prize for its fight against racial inequality despite outbreaks of violence i'm using up some of the bodies we put the proposal up for debate you see massive police reforms and investment in cities like new york in cities like los angeles you know what defending the police and having fewer police officers is going to disproportionately black people. hello good morning and welcome to all of the international bright not yet 8 am here in the russian capital always good to have you with us. let's jump ahead and has europe continues to struggle with new coronavirus strains and tough luck down matches people across the continent are becoming increasingly frustrated with the way the pandemic is being handled.

well let's have a look at what's happening all over europe starting in also where protesters have clashed with riot police now this is all because of us just coronavirus lockdown which what does it include while the closure of all non-essential businesses also restrictions on movement now that was recently extended until the 7th of february and of course we saw that skeptics turn out on to the street to denounce what they call madness let's see also what's happening in this danish city of office because people also came out to see restrictive matches the rally was organized by group called men in black and that's where you can is free to sit done mark we've had enough and again that is because the scandinavian country has recently extended its knock down for another 3 weeks over the new fall spreading its 19 variant and finally let's head on over to brussels where there were

a number of arrests over the weekend around 205 and that's because people were again protesting against restrictions they were denouncing what they say is the social and economic toll that all the restrictions have taken so a lot of frustrations all across the continent as coronavirus continues to impact our lives. while meanwhile as the blogs vaccine rollout struggles to get going the e.u. and u.k. have clashed over front scene supplies germany has threatened with legal action in delays claiming the company should face penalties if it gives britain preferential treatment if it turns out that individual companies do not complying with the legations decision must be made to both legal consequences. for the latest developments on the story we're joined live by correspondent peta all of us i mean peta we've heard a lot about how the vaccine is being politicized is this one of the cases of this what's happening here. well there are attempts being made to

come down the route between astra zeneca the vaccine manufacturers on one side and the european union on the other particularly the e.u. commission on the other side astra zeneca have said that they will provide an extra $9000000.00 doses of their covert 19 vaccine to the e.u. that would take their total that they're going to be providing for the 1st quarter of 2021 to $40000000.00 doses e.u. commission president as to fund the land confirm this extra $9000000.00 in a tweet she also said that astra zeneca would be ramping up production of the vaccine in the e.u. it's worth mentioning though that the 40000000 falls considerably short of the 102120 1000000 doses that the e.u. had initially been promised when it signed a deal with astra zeneca back in august of 2020 there has been

a massive diplomatic mess over the astra zeneca vaccine in the e.u. since friday really had been bubbling on for a while before that but friday it all came to a head based on the ideas far as the e.u. commission will concerned is that they would have access to vaccines that had been manufactured at astra zeneca plant in the united kingdom that doesn't seem to be the case what it prompted was the european commission on friday evening to announce that they were going to implement article 16 of the breaks that agreement that would've put in place checks on goods crossing the british border on the island of island and really putting the good friday peace accords at risk causing all kinds of problems in northern ireland and the republic of ireland that quickly was rained back on friday evening but not before it caused a huge diplomatic stink we've also heard from the french president because there is real on the ground realities when it comes to the issues regarding the. the

argument between astra zeneca and the european union over these vaccines we've seen vaccine programs in france in portugal and in spain all having to be suspended because there aren't enough jobs in fact french president emanuel waded into the diplomatic spot saying that britain the united kingdom have to decide who its friends really were imagine the british finish their vaccine campaign successfully what will they do stop european lorries from entering when there is a total dependence on the continent good luck half pregnant is not a concept what policy does great britain wish to choose it cannot be the close us ally of the us the closest ally of the e.u. and the new singapore it has to choose a model. well there has really been some mixed messaging coming from french president of money were gone on the one side saying britain must share its source it's astri's anika vaccines on the other hand he's also been questioning

how well the astra zeneca vaccine works on the over 60 five's based on the lack of data that was given to the european medicines agency when it approved the vaccine for use on friday of last week there he says there wasn't enough of their data that it works well enough for the over 60 five's to allow it to be used in france ultimately though the u.k. side has come out of this with a pretty good post breaks that p.r. victory without having to do very much as far as london is concerned all day of focused on is x. and eating their own people. the u.k. government's position is absolutely clear we expect companies and contracts to be on that european union know that our 1st priority is vaccinating people in the united kingdom but we also want to work with our friends and neighbors in the european union in order to help them as well. well the job of salvaging the european union and fund a lie in the e.u.

commission president in particular fell to the british press you had a field day with this diplomatic situation over the weekend what we have heard though from the world health organization is that the vaccine nationalism needs to go away that it only causes more and more problems than we already have if we lose it international collaboration and nationalism we will all progress in terms of a protracted we only prolong the plunder we expect more of this coming out on modern day there will be a summit of vaccine summit taking place here in berlin or at least a virtual summit with some of the participants here in berlin later on monday angle of merkel her cabinet the leaders of germany 16 states set for talks with vaccine manufacturers if we look at what you can spawn the health minister was saying here in germany last week the vaccination program is 10 weeks behind where they would

like it to be they're going to be looking for some answers from vaccine manufacturers about when those jobs will be here and they can start putting them into people's arms while searching it seems that the way out of this apparent chaos the vaccine itself has no pain saying that was peter out of our reporting from an end to pretty. well let's head on over to france where violent clashes broke out on the streets of paris over the weekend has around 5000 protesters demonstrated against the country's global security bill which will restrict the filming of police on posting up images online. critics of the draft legislation see it as a threat to press freedom despite government promises to rewrite the controversial

article 24 which would ban the filming of officers many still oppose the idea riot police and paris deployed want to count owners clashes broke out by violent dozens of rallies were also held across france with over $32000.00 people taking part that's according to the interior minister a total of $35.00 arrests were made over the weekend. while tensions also spilled out onto the streets of not with 4 police officers reportedly injured in the clashes it comes as police officers in the city house complain the rioters often avoid conviction what we heard from a representative of a french police union. who shared his view on this whole situation. that there is a part of the population which resents the police sometimes this resentment is ideological which means that we have both left and right wing protesters hostile to the police and sometimes this resentment this from people stretton and to against

protests who feel anger towards the police who can legitimately wonder both about the effectiveness of the court's response and about whether these rioters have a political role to play in the presence of writers that just gives a pretext and legitimacy to the prefix and in particular to the police precincts and guest rooms which are initially legitimate government policy has been relatively opaque on the issue of writers since at the beginning of the yellow vests crisis the prime minister himself initiated a debate on and dossier where it was said that all hooligans were known to intelligence services were going to bridges to them in a file and put them under house arrest. in the days of demonstrations it means that they would have to check in the dead nearest police station to prove they're not at the protest this dossier has never seen the light of day. one of our colleagues who works in the since sunday department of police commander

was found dead at his home another officer who worked for the border police in majorca also killed himself so every year every week every month police officers killed in the cells because the police ministration is an institution that's not only violence on a physical level as we sometimes witnessed during demonstrations and law enforcement operations but it's also extremely violent on a psychological level and it's the enemy of people who seek to give meaning to their daily actions the message of the police hierarchy is don't think just execute . on the thing on myanmar's military it says it's taking charge of the country for one year after declaring a state of emergency over alleged election fraud while several leaders of the civilian government have reportedly already things are taken from clearing a party of the country's leader on sun suu kyi she said he among those taken into custody the military alleges that the november elections in the country are fortunate though that is yet to be proven the security secretary rather general of

the un has condemned the arrests. the black lives matter movement has been nominated for the nobel peace prize for its global campaign against racial injustice the proposal was put forward by a norwegian lawmaker. they've been able to mobilize people from all groups a society not just african-americans not just oppressed people is being a broad movement in a way which has been different from their predecessors warding the peace prize to black clothes masses will send a powerful message that peace is founded on equality solidarity and human rights and that all countries must respect these basic principles while the politician went on to describe black lives matter as mostly peaceful acknowledging though the back have been incidents the american movement was sparked back in the summer of 2030 by the acquittal of a man who killed african-american teen trayvon martin since that it's waged

a relentless campaign against racially motivated violence and it took the world by storm in 2020 how to the police killing of george lloyd in minneapolis the idea of giving the nobel prize has been met with well a mixed reaction. to have black lives matter when the new book peace prize would be so incredibly awesome this is where the nobel peace prize has lost its legitimacy and credibility blood flows matter movement is nominated for a nobel prize after engaging in months of extreme violence that called for the killing of corpse and destruction of u.s. citizens. this is amazing the fight for civil rights is so incredibly important and the fact that the matter is nominated for a nobel price is a brilliant expression of support for racial equality most expensive and devastating riots in american history but sure nobel peace prize seems appropriate while according to a report tracking political violence in the united states the vast majority of 93

percent of the black lives about to protest last summer what peaceful well out remaining those 7 percent involved harm to people or vandalism with the scale of the chaos and damage in the worst hit cities pretty substantial. thank. you. the. one hair all t. we discuss the suggestion audio with conservative commentator jeff charles on

political activists and he watches right. i don't see how this organ how this organization at least the national organization deserves this prize this prize is intended for for organizations that benefit mankind when you've got people's livelihoods being destroyed and you've got people being killed it's hard for me to for me to see how that's the case especially when there's no widespread condemnation among the ranks of black lives matter of course there are are some individuals who have escalated and taking matters into their own hands and even dr king held weapons in his house to protect himself against white supremacy terrorism so i think that any movement that is 93 percent peaceful and has had just an impact around the world not just in the united states also in solidarity with all oppressed people around the world and this is a most warranted and deserved award for sure the rights happened approach to peaceful protests happen and what change has actually happened nothing to say that it's just a hash tag and just saying that there haven't hasn't been any action we've seen

massive police reforms into beslan in cities like new york in cities like los angeles minneapolis at one point calling for change the entire police structure so to meet i mean just having a conversation is in and for me isn't enough to win a nobel peace prize there should actually be something good that happened you have black lives matter talking about defunding the police even though 82 percent of black americans disagree with that and you know what defending the police and having fewer police officers is going to disproportionately affect black people so to me saying that black lives matter you're not really showing that when you are supporting the destruction of black businesses the destruction of black lives and you're making black people less safe you have a movement where people whether they represent the movement or not torch black businesses 25 people were killed last summer and i might understand that point if the black lives matter their leadership and force came out and condemned the rioting but you only had a few local chapters who were willing to actually condemn the violence but we

haven't seen action as is in the domestic terrorist threat in the united states. from white supremacy terrorists who show up to state buildings with their guns out but not their mass i can condemn the rights of the u.s. capitol as a matter that the vast majority of republicans did condemn violence and yet you don't see a whole lot of that that we didn't see a whole lot of that this past summer during the riots that were happening with m.t.v. and black lives matter and never have you seen black labs matter take part in an insurrection where they were trying to stop the democratic process in a country that still oppresses them more than the p.b.s. and volatility of white supremacy that we saw in january 6th the fact that donald trump has even been considered for a nobel peace prize just goes to show you the differences in standards for black and white people in this country and quite frankly throughout the world. what's finish up with some russian news several 1000 protesters were detained across the country on sunday during the 2nd recount of a move through its rallies in support of jailed kremlin critic alexei in

a file me this time that was visibly fewer people at the anti-government demonstrations with the highest attendance though in moscow and st petersburg and the russian capital fortunes had warned people against gathering citing of course the ongoing pandemic offices used demonstrators resisted arrest meanwhile russia's federal security service has released footage purporting to show a secret meeting between one of his closest associates and a british intelligence officer now some time ago the f.s.b. claims britain is actively involved with the russian opposition providing them with both financial support and intelligence. to have breaks down what the russian security service has revealed. as is it does he would but everyone does it it's a tricky business high risk high reward put it off and you hit jackpot and knew would have the funds out but when you mess it up it's the barest. and as was the

case 15 years ago out of the blue a senior british diplomat develops the oddest habit of doing when inexplicable walks to the strangest of places as the same route every time now alarm bells are ringing yet but rush encountered halogens decide to keep an eye on this odd little habit christopher peart secretary archivist of the british embassy in moscow looking shifty as can be but then a 2nd british diplomat develops the same walking habits and during one of those walks one of the diplomats strays off the path kids a random rock and then keeps on going through alarm bells at this poor the f.s.b. understands that something steve here is a ford they were trained wards is

a 3rd and the 4th british diplomat start here in a nice little pilgrimages to this little rock at one point a certain mark do then 2nd secretary of the embassy and flags as an mit 6 agent by russian counterintelligence wished the rockaway for a little polish it turned out to be a wife i device used to communicate with a russian official turned traitor. at the time it was a novel way to organize communication between the embassies and my 6 office and agents in russian they refused to acknowledge the instant all the way up to 2012 when tony blair's former adviser officially confirmed the incidents by iraq was embarrassing they they mean they had this bang to rights clearly they've known about it for some time to be saving it up for a political purpose this is the rock or the malfunctioning rock a copy of it the original has been stripped down into dust circuits and was but

this is the rock that caused sue much embarrassment for british intelligence and diplomats since then technology has undergone miniaturize ation and this has given way to this the internet and messages but while neath tactics may have changed goals and strategies haven't asked binoche subterfuge spies and betrayal you'd think that british agents and potential recruits and russia would be a little more surreptitious going into the future but no the federal security service of russia has released footage showing mark do successor following in his clumsy footsteps james william thomas ford entering a restaurant in moscow former 2nd secretary for political affairs at the british embassy designated an undeclared m i 6 agent married to elizabeth cohen berg

designated swedish intelligence agent following him in is russian opposition figure vladimir asuka of alexina valley's right hand man executive manager of the f b k foundation currently living in the u.k. surveillance of this meeting was conducted by russian counterintelligence keeping an eye and special agent forward. i'm. it would be a heavy we would expect that to be the 1st thing that i think it was $81.00 he said i was was 20 i don't know if i did. decide i didn't have a duty 100 had i knew was certainty i don't even have

a hint nudge nudge son doesn't have power and will pay you back with billions since the man crusading against corruption the opposition even has a plan which is remarkably similar to what they accuse the government of doing from bombarding voters with propaganda to back to deals with elites $1094.00 it was 800970 was it was needed it leads me to. do was it it was was it we did i don't i shouldn't of cementing rumors that the opposition is being helped by foreign intelligence appears to ask the british for help information from

government and intelligence agencies to use against the russian government and said i didn't think it was a direct evidence it was. true that it was what i had access to was relevant was right wasn't it was anything was it was it was written. certainty i don't believe god it was me but i did read it is a. good idea it would already take out of status code 380 britain off the rule has much to gain here doesn't beat around the bush the meaning is clear give us information and

we'll help get rid of competition for british banks by torpedoing russia would release everything but do you think i don't see that i decided i had to decide i think it's a teacher to be. here assured pool is for the waitress you never know she could be a spy trying to listen in. how do how do you believe i don't eat that was exactly what i do did i don't think it would be because i don't i would i think i did or did i was like oh it's already had anybody had any of the spuds a soup of hints mr ford that doesn't commit to any direct financial support instead

he points a shortcut to a workaround work with transparency international which britain was already financing that either to be the big thing or that i didn't think anybody but you could read about it over there isn't a moves closer to think it would. it's something that i didn't want you wouldn't let them but he. was the law he was i think what you want you don't want it and i did he and the right i am for one thing. but you and i then we need to do with the other he did. it when we were building and there was. we.

were just imagine a british politician meeting with russian secret service agents to beg for funding and dirt on rivals it would cause a national uproar aside from the ethical complications it would also undoubtedly be viewed as a security threat and that's exactly what it is in the eyes of the f.s.b. . the intelligence desk of m i 6 whose main mission is to get the secret material on the economic and military potential of russia is actively engaged with the russian opposition supports terrorists n.g.o.s and provides them with financing aside from assisting your position with information and financing the british embassy has direct involvement from an opposition organizations here because it's never been a secret that the opposition in russia has ties with and sometimes works in the

interests of foreign governments and. that i wonder when i was here when we were going to be looking at you and you would put the degree of that corporation will undoubtedly leave routers with very serious questions more i guess do you have. moscow. well we've sent a request to mr ford asking him to comment on his possible involvement with m i 6 and call for r t house also contacted the u.k. foreign office on british embassy in russia for that comment on the story and will get back to you with that response. holdouts all for this hour but of course we will be here throughout the day bring you the very latest so do keep checking back

. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. the world is driven by a dreamer shaped by one person and those. things . we fear to ask.
