this crisis will not go on forever the challenge is great the response has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. a feud between the. british. from germany proposing. a preferential treatment also ahead. a security bill giving extra powers to police officers. troublemakers or of execution. a norwegian politician calls for them.

to be given the peace prize for its fight against racial politics proposal for. you have a movement where people whether they represent even or not torch black businesses 25 people were killed last summer. just around the world not just in the united states this is most. wherever you're catching the program from today welcome to moscow and to our to international i mean i know neal taking you through this monday's big story. country across europe are tightening their lock downs i mean a surge in cruel a virus case numbers on the discovery of new mutations but measures are being met with strong 'd public resistance in several.

00000000000000000 why why in vienna run $5.00 in people took to the streets the following public gatherings in austria is currently in its 3rd nationwide shut on the march was organized by the right wing freedom party. destroyed the latest rules a scandalous people largely ignored social distancing wearing masks hundreds of riot police were deployed for the events on several arrests for me. springing to denmark or a group known as men in black held a torch the rally on sunday night or a chance of freedom for denmark 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 in brussels stop locations across the city in a protest organized on social media say more than 400 people were detained last

week the belgian government found all non-essential course border trouble in addition to nightly curfews on the closure of bars and the rest. has suffered one of the highest death rates in the world since the start. meanwhile the european union and the u.k. have clashed over vaccine supplies germany has threatened astra zeneca with legal action over a faxing delay 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 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 reporter 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 salvaging the 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 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 go. to be arriving here in the european union. morris was rocked by street clashes over the weekend their own 5000 people demonstrated against the new security bill which gives extra surveillance powers to french police.

i. predict the draft law saying it will limit the right to free assembly and restrict. dozens of rallies were held across france with over 30 year 1000 people taking part according to the interior ministry a total of $35.00 arrests were made of course the. tensions also enormous with 4 officers there reportedly injured in clashes police in the city claimed radical behavior from rioters is routinely go unpunished we heard from a spokesperson for a french police. i. 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 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 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 of 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 vests crisis the prime minister himself initiated a debate on an anti right 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 didn't quite like. one of our colleagues who works in the sense and the need to parliament. 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 low roof. 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 you noticed. the black lines modern myth and dominated the headlines in 2020 following the death of george floyd in minneapolis and the majority of the group's protests were peaceful but many were not.

well despite such scenes as what we've just witnessed 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 rexx reaction on. 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 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 a report tracking political violence in the u.s. claims some 93 percent of the b.l.m. protests last summer were peaceful earlier we discussed the nomination where political activist anthony rogers writes servant of commentator jeff charles. 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's no widespread condemnation among the ranks of black life 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 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 to 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 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 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 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 ahead in the program russia sees a 2nd consecutive weekend of antigovernment protests as the security services claim they have evidence so far in the state support that the opposition. seems wrong. wrong just don't. let me. get to shape. to stay active. and engaged with. the trail.

when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.

just coming up to 17 minutes into the program welcome back several 1000 protesters were detained across russia on sunday during a 2nd weekend of all what the rise rallies in support of jailed opposition activists alexina felt this time there were visibly fewer people on the streets with the highest attendance in moscow and petersburg in the russian capital authorities had called on people not to gather citing pandemic restrictions officers used force were demonstrators resisted arrest. in russia's federal security service release from the age purporting to show a secret meeting between one of them ali's closest associates and a british intelligence officer the f.s.b. claims britain is actively involved with the russian opposition providing them with financial support and intelligence. well 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 bonus of british interference in russian affairs our senior correspondent. allan just what's been revealed as spin 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 mess it up it's a world of them barrus meant 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 are ringing yet but russian countered teligent decide to keep an eye on these org 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 a random wrong and then keeps on going to alarm bells it turned out to be a wife i device used to communicate with a russian official turned traitor. well to pour 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 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 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. and.

i. read. britain after rule has much to gain here a suit of doesn't beat around the bush despite a suit of hints mr ford 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 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. i wouldn't. i am. i more i'd gadsden of. moscow. we have sent a request to mr ford asking him to comment on his possible involvement with m i 6 on a lot of your sure cough we've also reached out to the u.k.
