locations across the city in a protest organized on social media police say more than 400 people were detained last week the belgian government found all non-essential cross border trouble that's in addition to nightly curfews on the loser all these restaurants suffered one of the highest death rates in the world since the start. in while the european union the u.k. have clashed over vaccine supply germany has threatened extra 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 about 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 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

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 concent 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 salvaging 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 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 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're going to be arriving here in the european union. as we just heard peter taking us through a report the french president said the u.k. needs to decide who its closest allies are the u.s. the e.u. or the far east to illustrate his point of money said someone cannot be pregnant

or let's not speak with david coburn david remember all of the european parliament for scotland joining us today from parr it's good to see you david does mccrone have a point there or does the u.k. need to make a choice over its friends who is going to be 1st in the line to do deals with. well let's put this way one of our own prime ministers in the 19th century law mustard said that britain has no prominent friends only prominent interests well i'm going to read with that i'm our government went to curricula of effort and money to get the vaccines ahead of time to book the vaccines and also british science it's what create these seeds so always say we'd like to get our people vaccinated for us but it's in everyone's interests that everyone is much needed but european union have made an absolute honks of the of this of this of this vaccine

business and the these should have ordered but it will which include ukraine and to succeed i mean well he didn't leave the boat it was actually it didn't succeed so therefore they were stuck and now that they've been punishing great britain or because we've decided democratic leave the european union and now the it wanted just to seize our right seeds which is utterly ridiculous i mean he said that we should pick a model well britain's always had a model it's called commonsense the rule of law and of respect for private property which cannot be said that european union but all not the only point in every day play david is this going to cause a rift between britain and the e.u. the facts aren't the vaccine issues like you know there seems to be no easy way out here for either party. it is fairly simple issue respect our rights to our fancy and of course we will do anything we can to help i mean just in

everyone's interests that everyone throughout the world is much needed to quite another to be actually to you kate i people in europe not but we obviously have a duty to our own citizens 1st and european union the only thing they're not said is that britain succeeded the european union feel they wanted us to be part of their and flaxseed. arrangements and britain said no thank you very much because we know exactly what european union is like it's inefficient it's bureaucratic nothing ever works and that's why we left school not we did the right thing even when i'm doing this in terms of getting to the deals david to just move on from this but the u.k. trade secretary liz truss said that a trade deal with the u.s. is in the pipeline but there's been no such comments from the by demonstration churchill's bust has been removed from the oval office joe biden not overly friendly from the 1st few weeks with the u.k. is the government being overly optimistic about these easy deals. well and the

e.u. does have a deal with american sign. but i think we've got a better chance of getting one before you get it because they'll never make a decision about it being well president biden and it is not critically prove british well you know our i wasn't a fan of the man in the 1st place so i can't say i was right about that and so you know we got a problem with him but it's not a big problem the americans want to do business american business want to do business and that's where portman is the else so you know. call house always finds a way and we're better off doing business with the americans because we're on the same wavelength you know britain and america is going to give the national league of the united kingdom which i capitalized of free enterprise economy whereas the european union is basically a soviet style come out because i mean this is one of the reason relaxed he also said the new care prime minister david to. the he wants portions and wants the u.k.

to join the trans-pacific partnership you know that this is this is some i thought their thinking is that it doesn't make any sense for a country that's nowhere near those other nations enough trading block no cultural ties really either. well let's put it this way britain. eg the bandit a quarter of the subs the profit british am i not trading an extended all round well quite frankly joint european union was a mistake we should have always remained it won't trade us and leave no hurry to fight that mistake by leaving the e.u. i know it will be business all over the pacific we have our commonwealth in australia new zealand. and and and all over the world canada australia you know who what why would be worried about european union and who seem to be not keen to do business 1st who seem to be keen to stop our goods and coming across the channel we thought we had

a free trade deal with them well no they aren't and switching every sort of pay you can imagine to write every other european nation into leaving the e.u. so maybe it's time britain set up its almost you happy and free trade association light any country any you care to join us to do so i bit a bit of european union but might not have a quick quite quite quickly we have quite a few members joining us and not the david thanks for your time and thoughts always good having a program david coburn for a member of the european parliament from scotland. wrought by street clashes over the weekend there and 5000 people demonstrated against the new security bill which gives extra surveillance powers to french police. good. i. predict of a draft law say it will limit their right to free assembly and restrict press

freedom dozens of rallies were held across france with over $3025.00 people taking part according to the interior minister a total of 35 arrests were made across the. tensions also unknown swift for officer is reportedly injured in clashes police in the city claim radical behavior from rioters is routinely going on publish now we heard from a spokesperson for a french police union. 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 in the presence of writers that approach just gives a pretext and legitimacy to the prefix and in particular to the police prefects of

gatherings was shot in the 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're 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 the need to parliament a police commander was found dead at his home. you know 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 of ministration is an institution that's not only violence on a physical level as we sometimes witnessed during demonstrations and low roof falls

. 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. yet another headline story the black lives matter movement dominated the headlines in 2020 following the death of george floyd in minneapolis the majority of the group's protests were peaceful but many were not.

despite 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 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 or a report tracking political violence in the us claims 93 percent of the protests last summer were peaceful earlier we discussed the nomination where political activist anthony rogers right firstly conservative commentator geoff 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 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 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 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 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 a black rights 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 impresses 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. several 1000 protesters were detained across russia on sunday during a 2nd weekend of overthrow israelis in support of jailed on position octavius that alexina only this time there were visibly fewer people on the streets with the highest attendance in moscow and st petersburg in the russian capital of thora she's out cold on people not to gather citing pandemic restrictions officers used force where demonstrators resisted arrest meanwhile russia's federal security service has released footage purporting to show a secret meeting between one of the 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. the details all 'd of a spy scandal involving a fake rock dating back to 2006 we're also shared with the f.s.b.

saying it illustrates the scope the boldness of british interference in russian affairs our senior correspondent off just what's been revealed. 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 this 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 a random rock and then keeps on going through 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 police by iraq was embarrassing they they mean that it's bang to rights clearly they've known about it for some time and been 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
