and why is so. much. going to. the ongoing route between the e.u. and u.k.'s os to zeneca vaccines intensifies with frogs on job and proposing penalties if the company gives the u.k. preferential treatment. a fresh wave of demonstrations grips from office over a controversial new security bill a french police union claims an equal loophole is giving radical protest decide to get out of jail free card. on the black lives mass movement is nominated for the

peace prize for its fight against racial inequality despite outbreaks of violence and looting and some of its rallies we put the proposal on the debates. you have a movement where people whether they represent the movement or not forged black businesses 25 people were killed last summer. just an impact around the world not just in the united states this is a most warranted and deserve the word sure. it's just chimed 1 pm here and moscow you're watching out international. with us. well let's jump right in as europe continues to struggle with new corona virus strains on impose tough rock down measures people across the continent of 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 lockdown which includes closing all non-essential businesses and restricting movement been extended until february the 7th not pushed the skeptics out onto the streets where they denounce this quote mob. let's also take a look at what happened in the danish city of office a slightly different seed a trois protest why while they're against the latest 3 week lockdown it's a new far spreading covert 1000 variant the rally was organized by a group of black people who are chanting freedom of done mark we've had enough and they're not the only ones apparently because. if we had on over to brussels a number of arrests were made over the weekend 200 in fact and that worried about

the social and economic toll so a lot of discontent and many a break. meanwhile as the blogs vaccine roll out struggles to get going the e.u. and u.k. have clashed over facts in surprise germany has threatened astra zeneca with legal action over vaccine delays saying the company should face penalties if it gives britain preferential treatment. if it turns out that individual company is not complying with the legations a decision must be made to build legal consequences 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 the total to be delivered

through till march open to up to $40000000.00 now that's still well short of the 102120 1000000 that 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 extra 9000000 doses and the promise that astra zeneca would be popping manufacture of their vaccine inside the european union this all follows on from a huge diplomatic mess over the weekend involving astra zeneca the u.k. 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 the manufactured inside the block reason though that there has been such rash action from the e.u.

site is that the lack of vaccines is really starting to bite here we've heard from france from portugal from spain where vaccine programs are having to be suspended because there aren't enough jobs while in the united kingdom well the vaccine program is moving along at a pace french president emanuel on this waited 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 closest ally of the us the closest ally of the e.u. and the new singapore it has to choose a model 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 while the job of savaging that the european union and particularly e.u. commission president on the line over this whole mess has fallen to the british press we've seen a number of headlines incredibly critical of brussels a stance the world health organization though has waded in as well saying vaccine nationalism needs to stop as it doesn't help anybody if we lose trust in international collaboration civil rights in motion a reason we will all pay the price in terms of a protracted we only prolong the plunder me more vaccine talk set for monday is there's a summit taking place 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 you'd like it to be the news coming in is that there will be an extra $75000000.00 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 go . and to be arriving here in the european union. are moving on now 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 on posting of that images on mine. if. you've. critics of the draft legislation see it as a threat to press freedom despite government promises to rewrite the controversial

article 24 many still oppose the idea dozens of rallies were also held across france with over 32000 people taking part according to the interior minister a total of $35.00 arrests were made over the weekend one of the places where tensions spilled out into the streets was not 4 police officers reportedly injured in clashes it comes hours police in the city have complained that radical rioters often avoid conviction we heard from a representative of a french police union. and he shared his fears on the situation. you know 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 stressed and to against protests who 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 the presence of rioters at the protests gives a pretext and legitimacy to the prefix and in particular to the police prefects a band gatherings which are in issue legitimate government policy has been relatively opaque on the issue of rioters since at the beginning of the yellow verse crosses 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 check in their nearest police station to prove they're not at the protest this dossier has never seen the light of day. didn't click. on one of our colleagues who works in the sense and they need to parliament a police commander was found dead at his home and another officer who worked for

the border police in majorca also killed himself so every year every week every month police officers kill themselves because the police have 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 orders. blacklight smatter movement dominated the headlines of course and 2020 following the police killing of george lloyd in minneapolis the group's protest one always peaceful with some of the rallies being marred by hooting violence and vandalism.

that. some were probably surprised than what the movement has been nominated for the nobel peace prize the proposal which was put forward by and we should all make or has been met with a mixed reaction online. they have been able to mobilize people from all groups of society not just african-americans not just oppressed 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 these basic principles this is where the nobel

peace prize has lost its legitimacy and credibility blows 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 us its. most expensive and devastating riots in american history but sure noble peace prize seems appropriate right this summer b.l.m. concentrated on riots looting arson murder cop killing destruction of public and private property lawlessness criminality etc and now it's time to give them an emmy award a nobel peace prize etc the whole world's a stage run the other hand some may find criticism of the movement on justified since the vast majority 93 percent of the black lives matter protests last somewhat peaceful at least that's according to a report tracking political violence in the united states i know we discussed the b. alarms the nobel peace prize nomination with conservative commentator jeff charles and political activist and the raja's 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 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 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 inforced came out and condemned the rioting but you only had a few local chapters who are 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 summer during the riots that were happening with their 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 on 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. finally several 1000 protesters were detained all across russia on sunday during the 2nd week of an authorized ronnie's in support of jailed pregnant critic alexei to follow me all this time while visibly fewer people at the anti-government

demonstrations with the highest attendance and must go and peter hay in the russian capital warned people again gathering citing of course the ongoing pandemic offices used for demonstrators resisted arrest meanwhile russia's federal security service has released footage purporting to show a secret meeting between one of the phone his closest associates and a british intelligence officer some time ago the f.s.b. claims britain is actively involved with the russian opposition providing them with both financial support and intelligence. on details of a spy scandal involving of all things a fake rock dating back to 2006 we're also shot with the f.s.b. saying it illustrates the scope and the boldness of british interference and russian if as mark takes a crisis. is a dirty word but everyone does it it's

a tricky business high risk high reward pull it off and you hit jackpot and no one ever finds out but when you measured up it's a world of them barrus mint as was the case 15 years ago out of the blue a senior british diplomat develops the oddest habit of doing an inexplicable walks to the strangest of places at the same route every time now alarm bells aren't ringing yet but ross encountered halogens decide to keep an eye on these 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 are random rock and then keeps on going to alarm bells at this poor guy 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 russia they refused to acknowledge the incident all the way up to 2012 when tony blair's former adviser officially confirmed the incident by iraq was embarrassing they they mean they had just 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 we originally had 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 benard 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 and her in 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 assured 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 t. we would expect there to be the 1st one that was $81.00 but he was and was when he. was 40 but. i didn't. decide i didn't who will be

$100.00 had i knew was certainty do was hint hint nudge nudge fundus into 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 wasn't it wasn't it was it was need to lead. me if i'm was 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 us the british for help information from government and intelligence agencies to use against the russian government it wasn't iraq was a threat was. that it was someone who was relevant was right was was was was was good. larry i didn't even read. that he really wasn't it was was it was a good read it is a. good and it was. ready to. stand scored 380

a burden 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 everybody thank god i said i decided i don't eat meat eater to be. here assured pools for the waitress you never know she could be a spy trying to listen in. how do how do you i don't mean that was exactly what i do did i don't think it would be but i don't do that would i think make it or did i was like oh it's already had i

was i don't have the spider a suit of scenes mr ford that doesn't commit to any direct financial support instead he points a shortcut to a work around work with transparency international which britain was already financing 380 b.n. the big thing that i didn't think anybody but i did read it was over there isn't anybody moves closer to. god i. it's something that i didn't want you to think you were in that didn't work and he. was he was i think what you want you don't want that when he. was right i am and we.

thank you and then we need to do with another he did. it when i was building and i will. was just imagine a british politician meeting with russian secret service agents to beg for funding and dirt on rivals at mccool's 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 the opposition with information and financing the british

embassy has direct involvement from an opposition organizations 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 it was when i was you know you were going to do that if you would you would but the degree of that corporation will undoubtedly voters with very serious. questions more i guess state of. mosco welty sent a request to mr ford also have to comment on many possible involvement with m i 6. cough we've also reached out to the u.k. foreign office on british embassy and russia for that comment out of course we'll get back to you with any response that's all from me for today at the top of the

object in view go will be hit take notes so join us then as for me i'll see you. welcome to max guys are plentiful survival. looking forward to your attention. this is what happens to pensions in britain don't let this you watch cause a report.

i'm afshin rattansi we're going underground for another lockdown edition today on air force day nicaragua which transformed inequality in the sandinista revolution meanwhile here in the u.k. which has been reporting the worst coronavirus death rate on earth will social indicators of progress or worse from unemployment to inequality will investigate why work won't love you back and in part 2 we'll hear about u.k. u.s. destruction of democracy in the middle east in revelations aided by award winning actor ray fines are joining me now from new york city is sarah jaffe order of work we love you back how devotion to our jobs keeps us exploited exhausted and alone sarah an amazing book such a range to it i suppose i should just ask before i ask why you're talking about why we should love our work is how different virus seems to have a emphasized new liberal transformations in the in the class all yeah absolutely i finished reading his book in february of 2020 and then went immediately into

lockdown and sort of had to add a bunch of stuff to the book but it didn't fundamentally change my argument to anything i think it underlined right because you know when we're all working full we're all just connected all our way or we're people who are still going into work and now you know your job it you know neighborhood grocery store comes up decide to risk getting a fatal disease i think it's it's clearer than ever that this idea that work is supposed to be for billing and sort of wonderful and pleasant is a big. but if someone is right now in lockdown in any country in the world and they are missing their work because they love their work why could this be on the part of their or themselves be me false false consciousness hormones well i don't necessarily diagnose anybody that's false consciousness like i am like a lot of parts of my job to getting to talk to people about this book that i wrote is pretty cool right i don't want to be like oh oh oh this ripple but i think

a lot of the things that remission by being in locked out away from you know an office where you might get to actually talk to other people is a talking other people part it's the part of of being in a workplace that's actually connection and collaboration and these are things that work under capitalism a sort of actively you know colonized from us but they are human condition that don't need to be exercised only in the workplace i mean that's the communication and that the move away from fordism in the conveyor belts in the factories that that's what we that's all we have at. yeah what do you think about it right when if you work at a factory if you work on the assembly line nobody really cared if you're smiling at the car that goes it's right you just have to make sure that you you know do whatever part of the assembly is your job you have to drive that bolt and make sure that it's done properly and safely but it doesn't much matter how you.
