so join us in the depths. for a made in the shallows. a see you between the e.u. and the british vaccine maker intensifies with france and germany proposing. the u.k. treatment. but . also this hour on rest breaks out yet again in france over a security bill giving extra powers to police officers themselves to violent troublemakers are avoiding a fusion. and a norwegian politician who calls for black lives matter to be given the nobel peace prize for its fight against racial inequality but the proposal up for debate. you

have a movement where people whether they represent the movement or not torch black businesses 25 people were killed last summer. just going to have around the world not just in the united states this is warranted and deserved what the show. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teach true love for joining us this hour. countries across europe are tightening their lockdowns amid a relentless surge in crown of our scase numbers on the discovery of new mutations but measures are being met with strong public resistance in several states. take vienna for example around $5000.00 people took to the streets defying

a ban on public gatherings is currently in its 3rd nationwide shut down march was organized by the rightwing freedom party of austria which is described the latest scandal as and as you can see people largely ignored social distancing and avoided wearing masks hundreds of riot police were deployed for the event and several of arrests were made. meanwhile in denmark a group known as men in black held a torch lit rally on sunday night there were chants of freedom for done 'd mark and 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 we look to brussels where hundreds of people a mass at locations across the city and they protest organized on social media they say more than $400.00 people were detained the belgian government found all non-essential cross border trouble in addition to nightly curfews and the closure of bars and restaurants. for one of the highest death rates in the world since the start of the pandemic although case numbers have declined sharply since the latest

curbs were introduced. meanwhile the e.u. and u.k. have clashed over vaccine supplies 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 to not complying with the legations a decision must be made to bold 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 a slip on the line the e.u. commission president tweeted out that she's happy with the extra $9000000.00 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 micron is weighted 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 or 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 translate into motion i'm going to lucian 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 you'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. 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. the text of that draft law say it will limit the right to free assembly and restrict press freedoms dozens of eyes were held across france there were $32000.00 people taking part according to the interior minister at about 35 western. tensions also spilled out onto the streets of not with 4 officers were injured and the

fascist police in the city claim a radical behavior and riders were truly going on ish i heard from a representative of a french police union on the 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 left and right wing protesters hostile to the police and sometimes just resent this from people threaten 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 that approach just gives a pretext and legitimacy to the prefix and in particular to the police prefects gatherings which are 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 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. ok. now didn't collect police he was 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 killed themselves because the police of 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 20 twentieth's find the police killing of george floyd the group's protests were always peaceful however. despite that 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 but it's 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 activist i think roger'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 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 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 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 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. 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 the n.c.f. and like whites 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 to come on our russia sees a 2nd consecutive weekend of anti-government protests as the security services

claim to have evidence of foreign support for the opposition details on that story and more after this break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. thinks . we dare to ask. secret prisons and usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived we've been dizzy rose on the way to view

the houses were allegedly preserved was located in the only people had access to the. investigators covered the darkest dealings of the secret service is what i mean. great ignore. thanks for justice. welcome back to the program they are staying with us several 1000 protesters were detained across russia on sunday during a 2nd weekend of an authorized rallies in support of jailed kremlin critic and extent of ami this time there were visibly fewer people on the streets with the highest attendance in moscow and st petersburg in the russian capital of tortillas

had warned people against gatherings citing pandemic restrictions officers and that up using force where demonstrators resisted arrest in all russia's federal security service has released footage purporting to show a secret meeting between one of the closest associates and the 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 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 during an inexplicable walks through the strangest of places at the same route have retired now alarm bells aren't ringing yet but ross encountered halogens decide to keep an eye on these odd little habits 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 it turned out to be a wife a device used to communicate with a russian official turned traitor. well to pull me into 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 by iraq was embarrassing they they mean they had just bang to rights clearly they've known about it for some time and been saving it up for a political purpose 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 grande berg designated swedish intelligence agent following him in is russian opposition figure

hint 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 the accuse the government of doing from bombarding voters with propaganda to back to deals with elites and. i am. britain after rule has much to gain here a suit of doesn't beat around the bush despite a suit of since mr ford 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 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 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'm wouldn't.

you know the. more i guys do you have. more scope. we have sent a request to mr ford asking him to comment on this possible involvement with my sex and lead the shore cove 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. in other world news the military of myanmar has seized power and declared a state of emergency soldiers have arrested the country's leader unc sun suu kyi and other senior politicians the military alleges that the november election was fraudulent but has so far provided no proof 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 mount etna put on

explained start this russian vaccine it was chosen by an algerian medical commission it's a medical commission company and we must trust it for additional deliveries of the vaccine are expected to guarantee mass vaccination and meet the country's needs the status 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 an economic recovery under return to normal life. that's been your news breakdown for now and that's all for me as well or not you know neal will be here at the top of the hour with their global news update thanks for tuning in wherever you may be.

for more than 4 years trump was called putin's puppet yeah bite he caved to russia's demands to continue with the new start arms agreement also though is the lesson of ali and why is he so well informed. 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 for 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 toss before i ask why you're talking about why we should love our work is how different a virus seems to have a emphasized new liberal transformations in the in the class will 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 underlines 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 clearer than ever that this idea that work is supposed

to be fulfilling 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 and me 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 actually talk to other people is a talking other people part of 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's what we that's all we have at. yeah well if you think about it right when if you worked at a factory if you worked on the assembly line nobody really cared if you're smiling at the car that goes right you just have to make sure that you you know do whatever part of the assembly is your job get the drive that bolts and make sure that it's done properly and safely but it doesn't much matter how. but if you're working in the grocery store and you're waiting in my you know you're waiting on customers as they come through in line you do have to smile and you do have to sort of be personable and at least project that you're happy to be there and happy to see them i mean sector by sector if we think of housework i'm not sure how you emphasize the intersectional nature or.
