politics. i'm sure. i'll see that. a feud between a british vaccine maker intensifies with germany proposing penalties. preferential treatment also ahead of the program. yet again in front. giving extra powers to police officers themselves say troublemakers are a. politician calls for.

giving the nobel peace prize for its fight against racial inequality we put the proposal that. you have a movement where people whether they represent the. black businesses 25 people were killed last summer. just around the world not just in the united states this is a most warranted. broadcasting dollar for a moscow every hour of the day this is your r t pleasure to have your company my names you are the only. country across europe are tightening their locked on a relentless search in coronavirus case numbers on the discovery of new mutations but measures are being met with strong public resistance in several you states.

eventually the oh why the. run 5 people took to the streets the following public gatherings austria is currently in its 3rd nationwide show on the march was organized by the right wing freedom party of austria which has described the latest scandal the people marginally ignored social distancing afforded wearing masks hundreds of riot police were deployed for the event and several arrests were made. i cannot bring it to denmark or a group known as men in black held a church rallied of a sunday night a chance of freedom for denmark we've had enough or heard the group invited people from all over the country to join the march in the city of our house. on the brussels on some our stuff locations across the city in a protest organized on social media say more than 400 people were at the table last

week the belgian government bond all known the sensual cross border trouble is in addition to nightly curfew the closure of bars restaurants to belgium suffered one of the highest death rates in the world since the start of the pandemic. meanwhile the u.k. and the european union clashed over vaccine supplies germany house threatened astra zeneca with legal action over a vaccine delay saying the company should face pelosi 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 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 ripoff from are 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 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 $9000000.00 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 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 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 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 translate into motion i'm going to lucian suboxone 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 $75000000.00 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 . to be arriving here in the european union. artists was rocked by street clashes over the weekend around 5000 people and all demonstrated against the new security bill which gives extra surveillance powers to french police.

i. i. guess it's more of a message the right to free assembly and restrict press freedom dozens of rallies were held across france where fell for 30000 people taking part that's according to the interior minister told the 35 arrests were made over the. tensions also we're not there for officers there reportedly injured in clashes police in the 7 claim radical behavior from rioters it is routinely going on polish we heard from a representative of a french police. i. was. 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 we 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 i 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 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. i. now do collect. one of our colleagues who works in the sense and they need to parliament a police. commander was found dead at his home and the 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 have ministration is an institution that's not only violence on a physical level as we sometimes witnessed during demonstrations and lower. 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 notice and. let's bring you to another headline story today the black lines that matter and then dominated the headlines and 2020 following the death of george falling in minneapolis ny the group's protests well they weren't always peaceful.

spite such scenes 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 or a report tracking political violence in the us claims 93 percent of the b.l.m. protests last summer were peaceful earlier we discussed the nomination of a political activist anthony rogers right conservative commentator chart. 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 and 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 approach the 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 defending 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 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 mask 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 n.t.p. 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. quarter of an hour in the program still ahead russia sees a 2nd consecutive weekend of anti-government protests and state security services claim they have evidence of foreign state support for the opposition is that when. for more than 4 years trump was called. yeah bite you gave to russia's demands to continue with the new start arms agreement also

britain after rule has much to gain here a short 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.
