down measures people across the continent top becoming increasingly frustrated with the way the pandemic is being handled. well let's start off in austria where protesters clashed with riot police that angle was sparked by the imposition of a coronavirus rope town which includes closing all non-essential businesses run restricting movement it's just been extended until february the 7th to see a push over the skeptics out onto the streets where they denounce this quote corona madness. but it's also take a look at what happened in the danish city of office a slightly different scene a tweet to protest why well they're against the latest 3 week lockdown over the new file spreading kovac 1000 variant the rally was organized by a group called men in black people chanting freedom for denmark we've had enough and then out there he wants apparently because if we finally head on over to

brussels a number of arrests were made over the weekend 200 in fact now worried about the social and economic toll of us clearly a lot of discontent many a breaking point all across europe as coronavirus continues to impact our lives. meanwhile as the blogs vaccine roll out struggles to get going the e.u. and u.k. have clashed over facts and supplies germany has threatened dusters atika with legal action over vaccine delays saying the company should face penalties if it gives britain preferential treatment if it turns out that individual companies do not complying with the brigade since a decision must be made to both legal consequences. while for the latest developments on the story we're joined live by correspondent peta all of these and peta politics and health it doesn't seem like a great combination what's going on here. well while we've heard of threats of legal action from peter out by just there the

german economy minister there are some signs of a report on being attempted to be made but in this 3 way dispute between the european union the united kingdom and the pharmaceutical giant astra zeneca the vaccine manufacturer has said that an extra $9000000.00 doses of the job will be sent to the european union in the 1st quarter of 2021 that will take the total to be delivered through till march open to up to $40000000.00 now that's still well short of the 102120 1000000 at the e.u. was promised back in august of last year but a slip on the line the e.u. commission president tweeted out that she's happy with the action $9000000.00 doses and the promise that astra zeneca would be a ping manufacturer of their vaccine inside the european union now this all follows on from a huge diplomatic mess over the weekend involving astra zeneca the u.k.
1:05 am
and the e.u. it follows on from a misconception it would seem from the european commission side they understood that they thought they would get doses of the vaccine to be manufactured in the u.k. that's not the case the e.u. then decided that they would put in place restrictions on vaccines leaving the european union that are manufactured inside the block then on friday evening they decided that they would invoke article 16 of the breaks that agreement as part of this what that would have done is place good checks on items crossing the u.k. border on the island of island creating a hard border there and pretty much putting the good friday peace accord at risk huge outrage and an embarrassing climbdown a few hours later that the reason that there has been such rash action from the e.u. side is that the lack of vaccines is really starting to bite here we've heard from france for. in portugal from spain where vaccine programs are having to be
1:06 am
suspended because there aren't enough jobs while in the united kingdom well the vaccine program is moving along at pace french president emanuel micron waded into the argument saying the u.k. has to decide who its friends are. 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. some real mixed messages coming from. the french president on the one hand saying the u.k. can't hold all of the astra zeneca vaccine and must share it with europe on the other hand he saying the astra zeneca vaccine might not be effective and shouldn't be used for those over the age of 65 now that's an interpretation based on the the
1:07 am
data that was given to the european medical agency or the lack of data regarding testing of the vaccine age group on the over 60 five's what we've essentially seen though is the british side getting a huge p.r. victory post break that without really having to do very much at all as far as london's concerned they're focused on vaccinating 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. well the job of salvaging the the european union and particularly e.u. commission president on the line over this whole mess has fallen to the british press receive a number of headlines incredibly critical of brussels a stance the world health organization though has waded in as well saying vaccine
1:08 am
nationalism needs to stop as it doesn't help anybody. if we lose translate into motion i'm going to lucian soon nationalism we will all be the pros in terms of a protracted we only prolong the plunder the. more vaccine talk set for monday is there's a summit taking place or at least a virtual summit taking place from here in berlin concerning what happens next when it comes to germany and the vaccine program we heard from the german health minister last week saying that it was 10 weeks behind where we'd like it to be the news coming in is that there will be an extra 75000000 doses of the pfizer buy on tech vaccine made available to the european union perhaps that will help calm some of the tensions regarding just who is getting these vaccines and when they're going to be arriving here in the european union well perhaps that might be done and
1:09 am
dusted but it looks like to e.u. and u.k. still have a bit of arguing to be done now as peter all of our reporting from the german capital many thanks. moving on paris was rocked by a fresh bout of violent protests over the weekend as around 5000 people demonstrated against france's global security bill which will restrict the filming of police and posting of images online. lots of traumatic scenes that critics of the trough to legislation see it as a threat to press freedom despite government promises to rewrite the controversial article 24 which would crowd the filming of officers as i said many still oppose the idea dozens of rallies what else are held across france with over $32000.00
1:10 am
people taking part in total that's according to the interior minister a total of $35.00 arrests one made over the past. tensions also spilled out onto the streets and not with officers reportedly injured in clashes it comes hours police in the city have complained that roger writers to avoid conviction and we heard from a representative of the french police union. he shared his view on the situation. that there is a part of the population which resents the police sometimes this resentment is ideological which means that we have both lived and right wing protesters hostile to the place and sometimes this resentment this from people's rhetoric and to against the protests we feel anger towards the police we can legitimately wonder both about the effectiveness of the course response and about whether these rioters have a political role to play in the presence of rioters at the protests gives
1:11 am
a pretext and legitimacy to the prefix and in particular to the police prefects and guest rooms which are initially legitimate government policy has been relatively opaque on the issue of rioters since at the beginning of the yellow vests crisis the prime minister himself initiated a debate and to write a dossier where it was said that all hooligans were known to intelligence services we were going to register them in a file and put them under house arrest on the days of demonstrations it means that they would have to. they had 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 league department a police commander was found dead at his home another officer who worked for the border police in my yard also killed himself so every year every week every month police officers killed themselves because the police administration is an institution that's not only violence on a physical level as we sometimes witness during demonstrations and law enforcement
1:12 am
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 . meanwhile myanmar's military says it's taking charge of the country for one year after declaring a state of emergency over alleged election fraud several leaders of the civilian government have reportedly been detained including the country's unfancied he now the military alleges that the november elections in the country were fortunate though that is yet to be the secretary general of the u.n. how to read spoken out telling you that. the headline story for you 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
1:13 am
a norwegian lawmaker they've been able to mobilize people from all groups of society not just african-americans not just oppress people it has been a broad movement in a way which has been different from their predecessors awarding the peace prize to black lives matter will send a powerful message that peace is founded on equality solidarity and human rights and that all countries must respect those basic principles. well the politician went on to describe black lives matter as mostly peaceful acknowledging though that there have been incidents just reminded the american movement was sparked back in the summer of 2013 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's what the globe in 2020 after the police killing of george floyd in minneapolis the idea of giving be alarmed about peace prize has been met with a mixed reaction. to have black lives matter when the new book peace prize would be
1:14 am
so incredibly awesome this is where the nobel peace prize has lost its legitimacy and credibility glows matter movement is nominated for a nobel prize of string gauge mere moments of extreme violence the call to the killing of copes and destruction of u.s. cities. this is amazing the fight for civil rights is so incredibly important and the fact that the matter is nominated for a nobel prize is a brilliant expression of support for racial equality most expensive and devastating riots in american history but sure nobel peace prize seems appropriate according to a report tracking political violence in the united states the vast majority 93 percent of the black lives want to protest last summer what peaceful that remaining 7 percent involved their harm to people finding as a with the scale of the chaos and the damage in the wafted cities quite substantial .
1:15 am
i know. the. more we discuss the suggestion no idea where the conservative commentator just falls on political activist just 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 is no widespread
1:16 am
condemnation among the ranks of black lives now 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 riots happened approach to peaceful protests happened and what change has actually happened nothing to say that it's just a hash tag and just a saying that there had been 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
1:17 am
black americans disagree with that and you know what defining the police and having fewer police officers is going to disproportionately in that black people so to me saying that 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 a 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 of fact the vast majority of republicans did condemn that 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
1:18 am
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 combustion volatility of white supremacy that we saw during worry 6 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. to finish off several 1000 protesters were detained across russia on sunday during the 2nd weekend of unauthorized rallies in support of jailed kremlin critic alex found me this time but i was visibly fewer people at the anti-government demonstrations with the highest attendance and most go on st petersburg and the russian capital far as hard won't people against gathering citing of course the ongoing pandemic offices you used for this what demonstrators have resisted arrest meanwhile russians

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 i didn't i didn't know it was going to 1970 was need to lead me to. read it if i don't know if it was i don't think we did i don't know i shoot 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 he said i didn't think it was

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 on my 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 the opposition with information and financing the british embassy is to write can volta form in opposition organizations. it's never been a secret that the opposition in russia has ties with and sometimes works in the interests of foreign governments and we were there
