midday here in the russian capital this factory the 2nd this is our team's national case you forgot. thanks for your company. well to get a stop to the sa europol has issued a warning about the illegal production and distribution of fake $1000.00 tests a difficult it's what many countries requiring a negative test to enter the agency believes criminal groups are taking advantage of the situation several cases have already been identified to both fronts on the u.k. reporting from berlin though peta all of us brings us the details typically it's are used in order for people to show that they've had a negative test before they get on an airplane or travel anywhere around the european union now what europol the european union's law enforcement agency is saying is that criminals a looking to exploit that and producing these fake negative test results these fake

covert certificates they've just posted a forgery ring operating near to show that all airports in france there's also being the forgery rings broken open the united kingdom similar operations in spain in the netherlands as well the statistic it's changing hands from anywhere between 40 euros and puts of $300.00 euros a year a poll themselves say that they expect the criminals to keep out they say as long as the city if it gets the necessary for travel the detection of feet covered 19 tests of tickets confirms the criminal sees profitable of chooses once theorized as long as travel restrictions remain in place due to the covered 1000 situation it's highly likely that production and sales of the test if it gets will prevail. or vaccines are also a big topic of discussion here in europe right now and angela merkel the german chancellor hosted a virtual vaccine summit from here in berlin on monday evening the message coming

out from that meeting is that things will take time put her on the right track as far as she's concerned now there's still recriminations coming out from the spot last week that's really continued into this week between the european union and vaccine manufacturer astra zeneca and the united kingdom basically the e.u. upset that it's not going to get the amount of vaccine to master zeneca that it thought it was going to get and it's going to take longer for them to get those in the whole discussion angle of merkel is pretty much set a self up as the good cop saying things will take time we're on the right track bad cop in this case has been a money on the french president he's not happy that the united kingdom has continued to receive the supplies of the vaccine while in countries like france like portugal and like spain vaccine bear programs have had to be suspended because there aren't enough jobs and money were micron saying london needs to pick its friends imagine the british finish their vaccine campaign successfully what will

they do stop european lauras 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 close us ally of the us the closest ally of the e.u. and the new singapore it has to choose a model of the plan when it comes to vaccinating the new isn't going to be sure work it would seem following that summit on monday night also set to come this month is the european medicines agencies view on whether the russian sputnik v. vaccine can be used inside the european union the german health minister yen spanners said that he'd be willing to use that as part of germany's vaccination program once it gets that rubber stamp at some point in february. and nothing's enough apparently aid. a number of french restaurants opened their doors on monday in defiance of the current virus cups that have been in place since oct was some measures have been eased since then cafes and restaurants are still not able to

host diners. reports. push a pair on and we'll see. since october this is been the extent of service available at restaurants and cafes in france takeaway only but as the memphis served dragged on with no reopening dating site same owners have decided to welcome customers inside in defiance of the couvade 19 regulations. i'm doing this for. the frenchman that is no longer respect i'm not able to work so i have no freedom and open he did soup talks when it came to the crunch he settled on my knees. so we will serve food restaurant today i won't be able to reopen fully if i did i would lose my composition follow says over and see my restaurant and go to prison his cool has

spread across the country and all the restaurants have followed suit since now at the end of january 1 christoph wilson i'm bringing his establishment in nice to around 50 customers. yet. christophe wilson's protest was short lived and the doors to poppies were once closed again but is roy is now taking his petition directly to president michel. i wrote an open email to say stop to self isolation rooms are cessation received as 810-0000 messages in 48 hours french people can no longer do this mr president here in paris 2 there have also been raids on so-called destroying restaurants there were reports of this one behind me lenox over the weekend was uncovered with many others now

amongst the clientele were alleged. french magistrates with all being fined $135.00 euros but as you can see it's still in print now the owner wouldn't give an interview but told me off camera that diners had only eaten under cover as it was raining and he also disputed that some were not just straight but support for. businesses has been growing on social media now many of the restaurants and said that they too would be opening service for customers at the start of february however with a very different support from unions and a warning from the government if you did and where does joe public fall in all of this do they want that favorite eateries to reopen or do they think it's better to keep the shutters down and those who don't find it normal that stories are ok and restaurants are not so many if we maintain social distance and respect the rules

the risk for restaurants will do the same as for stool suddenly we don't have a choice i would like very much for them to open but i think for the safety of everyone we need to make some sacrifices to stop the virus and live normally. shock and outrage in rochester new york where police were films pepper spraying a 9 year old while she was handcuffed the officers had been freed to respond to a domestic incident some viewers may find the following footage to stop a. gunshot or. well the incident took place last friday when police look at responding to the court's all of the family to stop and the call was reportedly threatening to harm herself resisting the police as they try putting her into the patrol she could also be heard screaming for her father

sometimes before being pepper sprayed by an officer to stop 1st that. i'm. as you can see that house balled widespread outrage in the local community on monday dozens of people marched on the streets of drop just one chanted outside the city's police station more demonstrations are planned during the week. while suffering officers have been suspended while an investigation is underway the mail just does also called on nor enforcement to undergo deescalation training meanwhile state lawmakers have announced plans to introduce legislation against the use of chemical agents against minors by police social activist dave backing says that despite the heavy handed response there really isn't much hope of reform. it seems as though these are not just the stakes but this is

a culture and at the way of the police to act this in the police departments. they're still getting what we call the warrior training the idea that you need to basically attack shooters and and the citizens need to comply with the police in every way noncompliance should not by itself be a year for excessive force like this but they are apparently used to being implied and get enraged i mean these these police officers were just angry at this 9 year old for not doing exactly what she was told and then it goes very deep the terms of the function of the police to maintain order and parole rather than shooting people speaks for there's a very deep culture involved with that but on the part of the government there is very little effort to to go against that culture to make changes to the status quo

in this country is working very very well for a lot of people that's particularly working well with the business with america and as long as that status for all of your control well it's going to be hesitant from rochester new york or where i live there seems to be a hesitance to do anything to change. the washing is a herring has got under way in a moscow court following a request from prosecutors to jail opposition figure alexei navalny up to 3 in a huff he is over allegedly parole violations this follows 2 weekends of protests across the country in support of the kremlin critic while here because he thought. his right outside a revolver near the moscow court why the herring is taking place right now eagle tell us what the situation is to be of any information. well not really but indeed election of ali is in the building right behind me this is

where the judge will be delivering the verdict as whether or not to swap the suspended sentence of the kremlin critic to a real one this time so basically here we only have journalists and those who take part in the court proceedings directly because no volleys hearing is not the only one that is taking place in this building now this area has been cordoned off and basically the police are not allowing anybody beyond the perimeter that they have set up election i've only seen himself seems to be in a good mood he's making jokes like he has his wife julia weather awards as to what's going on on twitter for instance saying that he has withdrawals symptoms from not being able to log on so there's that basically this whole just to give you some context this whole case it goes all the way back to 2014 back then alexina

volley was found guilty of embezzlement so he received a 3 and a half year suspended sentence with a 5 year probation period and so now the prosecution is saying that during that evaluated the terms of his probation period some 60 times of all in his defense in turn are saying that the case is politically motivated election of ali was detained upon his arrival to russia from berlin a couple of weeks ago there he was treated for what he calls a poisoning so basically when he was detained upon arrival he called he and his supporters called on people to gather in the streets to protest and so they did we've seen 2 consecutive weekends of protests and basically people tens of thousands of people showed up. we've seen violence from both of the police

and the protesters. thousands of people have been detained basically the authorities are saying that none of these none of these protests were sanctioned or thrice by the government like we've heard from officials saying well people have have a right to voice their anger but they should do it in accordance with the law and according to the russian law the organizers of the meeting should get the approval basically they have to agree on a location with the authorities the authorities do not have a right to just turn down this road to turn this down so the basically they just have to if the if the authorities do not agree on the location of the opposition about the organizers are suggesting they should assume they should offer something something else some other location so basically none of these protests were authorized but we'll have to see who the who the judges will side with this time we have to say our eyes and ears on the ground that was. reporting from moscow many

thanks. the news the wild health organization has been u.k. to put the brakes on its lacks a nation campaign once vulnerable groups have received the job they say is to help ensure a fag rollout. we're asking all countries in those circumstances to do that hang on wait for those other groups will also appeal to all the people of the u.k. you can wait while this comes as the u.k. looks set to reach its goal of delivering 15000000 a fastow says to people by mid february on the other hand across the channel the e.u. is while struggling to get its mass vaccination program off the ground we got reaction on all this from our panel of guests united kingdom has ordered more doses than it needs for its population of roughly 70000000 and one of the options that would be that whatever spare capacity it has got it shares it with more one rouble nations

as a country bias 4 times the amount of vaccines then it's a pure lation you know one has to ask questions why is there any chance do you think of the u.k. agreeing to it on the whole thing it's vaccination program essentially to help other countries i doubt it very much because britain posed rex it finds itself in a difficult position to take that magnanimous view of we are all in it together i find it difficult to understand quiet country would have so many vaccines you know ok if you're going to give 2 doses you obviously need double your population protest 4 times what you need is excess it go back to writing in saying that there are sufficient program and should be extended to different parts of the world . but i would not agree. that the solution to this thing or decreasing

the impetus on of the u.k. that's an issue program if we take the example where you are south africa it's got the highest infection rate on the continent but the vaccination program it's got off to a slow start comparatively african union. except where they have been able to accumulate cheaper jobs than johannesburg whose responsibility is it to fix this where they have a mix of 2 is the government. in getting prepared for ordering and buying the vaccines i know that south africa has just ordered 1500000 astra zeneca doses at twice the price this might be clothes they have ordered very late the united kingdom the european union and the united states lend the technology to set up additional plants to increase global capacity global manufacture to immunize people are across the globe by manufacturing will. switch and producing these presidents

and their. agencies we started leading whether it was seen disapprove wouldn't approve and then did what is going to say shannon and the government which are associated with each of these international companies on all of these. instances i don't want to decide. to demand to be used where it's going to be distributed if countries just focus on inoculating their own populations does that increase the danger of seeing new strains coming in from from elsewhere so in essence by not sharing their vaccines perhaps their production it's going to be worse for those countries in the long run as we get mutations and more mutations will occur that is the natural life cycle of any virus. we hope that the production of the vaccines using the same technology the messenger r.n.a.

would be able to take these high protein variants and make new a vaccines were parents and it's each and should. kate it's. call for for an increase in the production or of the device events you know need to be distributed. you know countries particularly in countries with. economy we have to work on this matter on a global. rather than individually i know politically we have to look after our population but we need to bear in mind that this is a global thing and we need to work globally. sticking with coverts with an estimated $95000.00 deaths strong year was the deadliest month of the pandemic in the united states during his campaign joe biden repeatedly blasted his predecessors handling of the crisis but less than 2 weeks into his term some already starting to wonder if the new u.s.

president will practice what he preaches caleb maupin picks up the story. joe biden has announced that fighting against coded 19 will be one of his top priorities as pandemic failures were among biden's biggest criticisms of his predecessor the president has no play that he hasn't laid out anything he knew all the way back in february how serious this crisis was he said that we have to get back to work. and also deal with covert you can't get this country going again unless you get cold under control because the united states today to the surprise of the for covert 90 this is not a matter of politics it's a grace a reminder to all of us who want to take this virus seriously joe biden says that he has a plan and it's over 200 pages long however lengthen eloquence of a document do not guarantee success biden has just started and already there are

20000000 vaccine doses missing this mystery if you want to call it that has hampered the ability of the new administration to vaccinate people at full speed it's been a week and the biden team is still searching for those missing doses meanwhile some of the communities that have been the hardest hit by the pandemic are facing big problems as they get vaccinated in los angeles crowds of anti the axion protesters block the entrance to dodge stadium preventing people from getting the jab that the nation operations were shut down for over an hour unbelievable if you don't want the vaccine fine but there are millions of angelenos the do 16000 of your neighbors have died so get out of the way protesters are not the only issue new york city is now in a state of emergency due to a snowstorm as a result that the nations have paused there as well that the nation efforts in

oregon were also hindered by weather conditions transportation issues made it impossible for certain people. to get their doses their 2nd doses on time as a result doctors just started handing out doses to whoever was available now the vaccines are quite fragile and if there's any problem with refrigeration it could possibly result in ruining the entire batch now in seattle we saw doctors rushing to vaccinate people as quickly as possible after the refrigerator broke when that happened there was an immediate response to that we've got to get the assume am in the morning polls show that roughly half of americans are willing to get vaccinated despite the chaos however among the sections of the population that are already skeptical big concerns are rising a lack of trust and an unwillingness to get vaccinated is a big barrier toward biden's goal of reaching a swift recovery for the nation and at this point it doesn't look like the planning is going very well ivan doesn't seem to have

a clear plan but the white house team continues citing his good intentions nobody had a complete picture the plans that were being made will be made we do some shit and the more you for me soon would be available and be revealed once they got into the white house the american boxing legend mike tyson said that everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth and at this point it looks pretty clear that the united states was rather unprepared for the swift right hook delivered by the coded 19 pandemic and now as the clock is ticking and lives are being lost there's a lot of chaos and confusion surrounding the widely desired jab caleb oppen r.t. new york. and find me with donald trump now out of office some comedians are starting to find fresh material for their sketches and while the former president is a frequent source of jokes it seems the new administration is not it's off limits.

on that. how do you make fun of a sitting presidents well and 2021 if you're say a comedian or a circle sketch show that is known for making fun of everything and everyone well then the answer is simple very carefully or maybe not at all when we had the orange man trashing in 247 was practically a necessity it was speaking truth to power and blah blah blah blah blah but now that joe biden is in office things are very different saturday night live is looking for a fresh face to do their weekly portrayals of the presidents they had jim carrey doing it throughout the election but now that joe biden has ascended to sainthood well they need to tone it down a notch i want to release a man. i'm never felt so alive which is ironic because i'm not down to lie. i mean they can just mock him sure that's what they did with trump for the past 4 years but that was different from head small hands he was orange he tweeted

a lot said mean things thank you thank you for coming to watch my victory speech tonight. as anyone who does have way through tuesday knows i was reelected president of the united states. with joe joe's a good guy joe here is very mean chris wallace is mean the economy is me be keep using job which is me jimmy. the china virus has been very mean to be by being a hoax and come on it's just not polite to make fun of how people look how they talk and joe doesn't even tweet the guy is a saint so no no mocking of joe biden everything he says and does is gospel and besides people today are already having a hard time telling the difference between reality and satire so making fun of st joe would only send mixed signals to an already confused audience. well that's how

things are shaping up there are to your column is brimming up with the very very latest so take a peek goodbye for now and have a great day. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. secrets prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe

however even the most prosperous can be deceived within the 0 zone there were 2 view houses were. preserved were located and the only people had access to the story for investigators hell they uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. you grated nor. for. trying for justice on r.t. . and eventually monthly shooters the only truth gripping introducing your theories is mention if you can imagine any kind of thrill of consciousness reason america leaders peregrination your stupid green humanities through. the gamma layer research center this is where the very 1st officially registered covert 19 vaccine was made not to mention an effective treatment for serious covert
