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 but they're 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 vaccines or masters anika 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 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 one micron saying london needs to pick its friends 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 of the plan when it comes to vaccinating the e.u. isn't going to be short 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 span has 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. now a number of french restaurants opened their doors on monday in defiance of the

coronavirus measures that have been in place since october although some restrictions have been lifted since then cafes and restaurants are still more table to host diners but more on this story his charlotte dubinsky. more to 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 have tried to talk on with no reopening dating site same owners have decided to welcome customers inside in defiance of the 19 regulations. i'm doing this for liberty and for. the frenchman that is no longer respected i'm not able to work so i have no freedom and open he did sue. when it came to the crunch he settled on a compromise. so we will serve food to people it says restaurant today i won't be

able to reopen food if i did i would lose my conversation follows is over and see my restaurant closed or go to prison his cool has spread across the country and other restaurants have followed suit since now at the end of january 1 christophe will feel i'm bringing his establishment in nice to around 50 customers yet. christoph wilson's protests wish lived on the doors to poppies were once closed again but his lawyer is now taking his petition directly to president michael. i wrote an open email to say stop to self isolation rooms are cessation received over 100000 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 deaths during the restaurant there were

reports of this one behind me lennox over the weekend was uncovered with many others now amongst the clientele were allegedly french magistrates with no being fined 135 year. yes but as you can see it's still open 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 a magistrate but support for believe 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 very little 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 their favorite eateries to reopen or do they think it's better to keep the shutters down and those of us i don't find it normal that stories are open and restaurants are not so many if we maintain social distancing and respect the

rules the risk for restaurants will do the same as for a store 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. meanwhile the world health organization is urged the u.k. to release vaccination program once one of the groups have been inoculated to help ensure a fair global rollout will have more details a bit later on in the program. there's been a shock and outrage in new york where police were filmed pepper spraying a 9 year old girl while she was handcuffed the officers had been called to respond to a domestic incident you might find the following footage disturbing. well

this took place last friday when police were responding to reports of a family disturbance the girl was reportedly threatening to harm herself and can be seen risking the police if they try to put her into a patrol car she could also be heard screaming for her father several times before pepper sprayed by an officer. the incident was sparked it has sparked widespread outrage in the local community on monday dozens of people here marched on the street to rochester and chanted outside the city's police station more demonstrations are planned during the week or several officers have been suspended while an investigation is underway that there is also called on norm foresman 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 a big king says that despite the heavy handed response there isn't much hope of

reform. it seems as though these are not just the stakes but this is a culture that the way of the police to act within the police departments. they're still getting what we call the warrior training the idea that you need to basically attack citizens and the citizens need to comply with the police in every way noncompliance should not by itself be a huge 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 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 as a marriage and as long as that status follows working so well it seems to be a hazard in rochester new york or where i live there seems to be a hesitance to do anything to change. our hearing has got underway today at a moscow court following a request from russian prosecutors to jail opposition figure in a valley for up to 3 and a half years over a ledge parole violations it does follow 2 weekends of protests across the country in support of the kremlin critic reporting that if my side the court has done. so election of ali he is in the building right behind me where the judge will be

delivering the verdict and deciding whether or not he will have his suspended sentence swapped for a real one now the russian opposition figure he seems to be in a good mood he's making a lot of jokes like for instance he asked his wife julia as to what's going on on twitter saying that he has withdrawal symptoms from not being able to go online and basically it's only journalists and police here in the direct vicinity of the court because this whole area has been cordoned off there's a few dozen people just outside the court it's difficult to tell whether or not they're just you know passers by and go just to you know busybodies or genuinely protesters and supporters of alexina volley so essentially this is what we're waiting for for a verdict and this whole case well it's it goes all the way back to 2014 back then the kremlin critic was found guilty of embezzlement so he received a 3 and a half year suspended sentence and a 5 year probation period basically the prosecution right now is saying that in

those 5 years election of ali violated the conditions of this this probation period about 60 times now the defense in turn is saying that the case is politically motivated now there has been a lot of hype about the detention of alexina vali when he received his 1st like 30 day detention sentence he called on to his supporters to rally in the streets and so a lot of people they listened and they took to the streets but basically none of those protests across russia were authorized by the authorities so there were we have seen some scuffles and violence from both the protesters and the police and thousands of people have been detained but we'll have to see which side will the judge takes a day. at a philosophy to. trump and this hand in the pandemic that have turned on joe biden his face. in his own life with criticism of failing to deliver on his many promises

we'll have a look at this plus of the stories just after the. show seemed wrong. just don't all. get to shape out just they become educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those with.

no dares thinks. we dare to ask. again now the world health organization is the u.k. to put the brakes on its vaccination campaign once fund rebel groups have received the job the aim is to make sure there is a fair global. 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 this does come as the u.k.

looks to say looks set to reach its goal of delivering 15000000 1st doses to people by mid february on the other hand cross the channel though the year was struggling to get its mass vaccination program off the ground we got reaction from our panel of guests. united kingdom has ordered more doses than it needs for its population of roughly $70000000.00 and $1.00 of the options that would be that whatever spare capacity it has got it shares it with more one rouble nations if 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 and whole thing its vaccination program essentially to help other countries i doubt it very much because britain post 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 excessive and to write in saying that there was an issue in program and should be extended to different parts of the wall and that it would not agree with that the solution would be this whole thing would decrease in the impetus all of the u.k. this nation 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 compared to the african union etc 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 because they have ordered very low. multinationals which are producing these pursuits and their. agencies which charitable oudin where there. is a proven and the proven don't do what history of seizures and the government research associate it with each of these international companies in all all of these. instances i don't want to decide. to do it the amount of the reviews and where it is going to be distributed you have to work on this matter on a global patent 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 in and you're putting the questions

there now with an estimated 95000 deaths january was the deadliest month of the pandemic in the united states during his campaign joe biden had repeatedly blasted his predecessor's handling of the crisis but less than 2 weeks into his own term some are already starting to wonder if the new president will practice what he preaches artie's callup mockin takes 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 called 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 that we have 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 axeman 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 some 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 of 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 have got to get this 1600 doses . into people's arms in the next 12 hours let's make that happen and we made that happen by 3 15 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 by them 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 were being made we do some shit in the morning 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 kaleb oppen r.t. new york. finally with donald trump now out of office some comedians are struggling to find new material for their sketches on many saw the former president is fair game though it does seem that the new the new administration is actually off limits is dimitry power. how do you make fun of a sitting presidents well in 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 orangemen 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 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 to emerge. 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 he couldn't be his me be keep using job which is mean 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. watching out internationally is coming up to half past 2 in the afternoon a musket will be back against the latest news in about half an hour. divers financially viable guys i don't buy any i promise you. that the friday is the last time i buy it from the future trucker watch kaiser.

secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived within this 0 zone there were 2 view houses were. prison was located only cia people had access to the story for investigators sure hell they uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. you great ignore in. your sort of for. crying for justice. that i would have that they're not they're not out of luck though they're not that i'm not out of the not of the money that they're going to get actually. this was

a good time to. try to move there i. know not that i want to get my money now why not. why exxon and the all people we believe just a little bit here. bottom of my case i don't want them up with johnny but i already know the moment of motherhood is there's a lot of them i'm a little like a mad build a little out of the pins i don't want to put out a other one which party would i know them of the other 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 on offer and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy would. successful
