we dare to ask. if you between the e.u. and the british vaccine maker intensifies with france and germany proposing penalties of astra zeneca gives the u.k. 5 prevent. unrest breaks out yet again and friends are very security bill giving extra powers to police officers themselves say violent troublemakers are avoiding prosecution. and a norwegian call to action calls for black lives matter to be given the nobel peace

prize for its fight against racial inequality but the proposal for the banks. do have a movement where people whether they represent the torch black businesses 25 people were killed last summer. just around the world not just in the united states this is a most warranted and deserve the word for sure. this is art international coming to you straight from the russian capital where it's just turned 6 pm welcome to the program. countries across europe are tightening their lock downs amid a relentless search in coronavirus case numbers and the discovery of new mutations measures are being met with strong public resistance in several states. in vienna for example around $5000.00 people took to the streets defining

a ban on public gatherings austria is currently in its 3rd nationwide shutdown march was organized by the right wing freedom party of austria which has described as scandalous as you can see people of north social distancing and avoided wearing masks hundreds of riot police were deployed for the event and several of the arrests were made. in denmark a group known as men and black how they torched rally on sunday nights they were chanting for freedom for denmark and saying we've had enough the group invited people from all over the country to join the march in the city of our house. and finally in brussels hundreds of people amassed at locations across the city and they protest organizers on social media police say more than 400 people were detained last week the belgian government banned all non-essential cross border travel that's in addition to nightly curfews and the closure of bars and restaurants belgium has suffered one of the highest death rates in the world since the start of the pandemic of the case numbers have declined sharply this curbs were

introduced. you know all the e.u. and u.k. have clashed over vaccine supplies germany has threatened astra zeneca with legal action over back seen delays saying the company should face penalties if it gets britain preferential treatment. if it turns out that individual company is to not complying with the legations a decision must be made to both 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 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 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 hoping 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 its way did 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 no 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 savaging that the european union and particularly e.u. commission president on the line over this whole mess has fallen to the british press received 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 so what i've seen nationalism 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 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 by 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. paris was rocked by street clashes over the weekend around 5000 people demonstrated against a new security bill giving extra surveillance powers to french police. there. was. critics of the draft law say it will limit the right to free assembly and restrict press freedoms dozens of rallies were held by sprint there were 32000 people taking part of court into the interior minister but all of 35 arrests were made over the weekend and also spilled out onto the streets of unarmed with 4 officers reportedly

injured in the clashes place in the city claimed radical behavior from riders as we're too early going on. we heard from a representative of a french police union to share 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 left and right wing protesters hostile to the police and sometimes just resentment this from people threaten and tear against protests who feel anger towards the police we can legitimately wonder both about the effectiveness of the court's 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 of 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 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 check in at the nearest police station to prove they're not at the protest this dossier has never seen the light of day. now didn't quite like. 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 my old 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 lower of course because 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

executing orders. the black lives matter movement dominated much of the headlines and 2028 following the police killing of george lloyd at the group's protests weren't always peaceful. despite this the movement has been nominated for the nobel peace prize the proposal which was put forward by a norwegian lawmaker has been met with

a mixed reaction online. they've been able to mobilize people from all groups a 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 mass and will send a powerful message that peace is founded on equality solidarity and human rights and that all countries must respect those basic principles 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 and still is important to note that according to a report tracking political violence in the united states 93 percent of the black lives matter protests last summer were peaceful earlier we discussed the nomination

with conservative commentator jeff charles and political activists and 3 iraq years 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 90 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 the proto peaceful protests happened and what change has actually happened nothing to say that it's

just a hash tag and just 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 black americans disagree with that and you know what defining the police and having fewer police officers is going to disproportionately affect 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 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 inforced 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. for 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 the n.c.f. and black lives matter and never have you seen black lives 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. still had that russia sees a 2nd consecutive weekend of anti-government protests as the security services

claim they have evidence of point support for the opposition to tell that story and more a comeback. join

me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see that. you're watching art international welcome back to the program several 1000 protesters were detained across russia on sunday during a 2nd weekend of an authorized rallies in support of jail the kremlin critic unexplainable me this time there were visibly fewer people on the streets with the highest attendance in moscow and st petersburg in the russian capital authorities have warned people against gathering citing a pandemic restrictions officers use force where 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 some time ago the f.s.b. claims britain is actively involved with the russian opposition providing them with financial support and intelligence. details of a spy scandal involving a fake rock dating back to 2006 were also shared with the f.s.b. saying it illustrates the scope and boldness of british interference in russian affairs. breaks down what's been revealed. espionage 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 measure it up it's a world of an barrus mint as was the case 15 years ago out of the blue

a senior british diplomat develops the oddest habit of during an inexplicable walks through the strangest of places at the same route every time now alarm bells aren't ringing yet but ross encountered teligent 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 wrong and then keeps on going to alarm bells it turned out to be a wife a device used to communicate with a russian official turned traitor. local woman to 2 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 police by iraq was embarrassing they they mean they had just bang to rights clearly they'd known about it for some time to be saving it up for political purposes 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 and declared 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

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 various 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. and. i wouldn't.

more i have. sent a request to mr ford asking him to comment on his possible involvement with m i 6 and. and we've also reached out to the u.k. foreign office and the british embassy in moscow for their comment to let you know if we hear back from them. and other world news the military of myanmar has ceased power and declared a state of emergency soldiers have arrested the country's leader and suki and other senior politicians and military alleges that the november election was fraudulent but has so far provided no proof of that western powers have condemned what they call an unlawful coup while china has urged both sides to resolve their differences . europe's most active volcano put on a spectacular light show on saturday night as the latest in a series of eruptions the site has been closed off and there are no reports of injuries. that go on with the when quite literally

residents of russia's far eastern city of lot of a stroke struggle to stay upright as they were battered by gusts reaching up to 35 meters a 2nd round 60 people needed medical treatment for injuries they sustained. algeria has started a vaccination campaign against covert 19 using sputnik movie about half a 1000000 doses are being supplied by russia and the north african nation also plans to produce the job itself. from our sister channel are terribly went to the city where the 1st shots are being given. the algerian city of later has launched its vaccination campaign using russia's spot in the vaccine for months now the city's hospitals have been infection hotspots but today we are witnessing the beginning of the elimination of this virus which started spreading across the country from here. we are proud of the health care workers from our province and

who all is because we are at the front line of the battle against the virus. so far we have vaccinated about 30 patients and none of them had any complications have health workers the elderly and chronically ill people have been given priority in vaccination it will take several months to vaccinate 80 percent of the country's population of 44000000 that there were out there without the scientific commission has developed criteria to select a vaccine is the 1st safety or her as putting 1st place among the vaccine studied by the commission i'm afraid to ask the algerian people they expect the vaccinations to be effective you only do the day has come when the state has brought a civic seen it wasn't unexpected we need it the government spends billions but people don't want to get that sedated people should understand it needs to be explained start this russian vaccine it was chosen by an algerian medical commission is a medical commission and we must trust it additional deliveries of the vaccine are

expected to guarantee mass vaccination and meet the country's needs the state is spends about $150000000.00 and this number could increase human health is priceless as those in charge say the bullet in order when the flow is in the city may have wilted but they are not dead in other provinces of algeria there is renewed hope that the crisis will come to an end as the vaccine campaign kicks off and restrictions are lifted bringing with them economic recovery under return to normal life. has been a wrap up of the day's top news for now but don't forget you can always find us on many of your favorite social media platforms like twitter and facebook for up to the minute reports. wow you know things are gone topsy turvy the markets are undergoing
