7:08 am
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. the world health organization has urged the u.k. to really needs vaccination program once for their inoculated to help ensure a fair. will have more on this a bit later on in the program. now there has been shock and outrage in new york where police were filmed pepper spraying a 9 year old girl while she was the officers had been called to respond to a domestic incident you might find the following footage disturbing. here. the incident that 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
7:09 am
seen here resisting the police as they try to put her into a patrol car she could also be heard screaming for her father several times before being pepper sprayed by an officer. that incident sparked this widespread outrage in the local community on monday dozens of people marched on the streets of rochester and chanted outside the city's police station more demonstrations are planned during the week. for several officers have been suspended while an investigation is underway and the mayor of rochester has also called on law 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 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
7:10 am
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 should isn't and that 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 now 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
7:11 am
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 for the business as a marriage and as long as that status quo is working so well it seems to be hesitant in rochester new york or where i live there seems to be a hesitance to do anything to change. herring has got underway at a moscow court following a request from russian prosecutors to jail the opposition figure in the valley to 3 and a half years over alleged parole violations and it does fall like 2 weekends of protests across the country in support of the russian kremlin critic reporting from outside the court he goes down off. 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
7:12 am
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 vali 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 embezzle meant 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
7:13 am
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 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. from mishandling the pandemic would have. been because it's now facing. his own wife of criticism of failing to deliver on his many promises we'll have a look at this after the break. wow
7:14 am
you know things are gone topsy turvy big markets are undergoing a severe inflection point and those on the periphery are now driving this center. whacko time but much hated let's get into it. seemed wrong. just don't call. me. yet to shape out this day. and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
7:15 am
join me every thursday on the alex simon shore and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. welcome back to the world health organization a surge the u.k. to put the brakes on its vaccination campaign once fundable groups there have received the job the aim they say use to make sure that there is a fair global right. 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 well this comes as the u.k. looks to say it looks set to reach its goal of delivering 15000000 1st doses to people by mid february on the other hand across the channel though the e.u.
7:16 am
is 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 amounts 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
7:17 am
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 was an issue in program and should be extended to different parts of the wall and that it would not agree. that the solution to this whole thing would decrease and the impetus on of the u.k. destination 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 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
7:18 am
at twice the price this might be true as they have ordered very low. the multinationals which are producing these pursuits and their. agencies which eric believed in where they're seeing is a proven and the proven didn't do what mr early season and undercover membership as a seated with each of these international companies in all all of these. instances very point to decide. to do the amount to produce and where it's 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 and with an estimated $95000.00 deaths january was the deadliest month in the pandemic for the united states and during his campaign joe biden repeatedly blasted his predecessor's handling of the crisis
7:19 am
however less than 2 weeks into his own term some are now questioning whether the president will actually practice what he preaches artie's kind of mopping as 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 proving you can't get this country going again unless you get cold under control proves the united states today to surprise or the for covert 90 this is not a matter of politics it's a gracie reminder to all of us who have to take those wires seriously joe biden says that he has a plan and it's over 200 pages long however lengthen eloquence of
7:20 am
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
7:21 am
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
7:22 am
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 and the more information 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 up and r.t.
7:23 am
new york finally with donald trump out of office some comedians to struggling to find new material for their sketches and while many so will the former president is fair game it does seem that the new administration is off limits is to me cherry powell. 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 a religious man. i'm never felt so. which is ironic because i'm not down to

7:29 am
a few years ago this was the beginning of an exit from an organized system like say the roman empire we had the roman empire they organize the entire world at the known world at that time pretty much with the weights and measures calendars they came in with organizing principles of how to organize and then they started clipping coins right and then price signal that last barbarians came in and what followed was a dark ages run by the vatican where you saw in the ensuing few 100 years you saw the inquisitions and then the bubonic plague hit and nobody had the ability to reason any longer and so they couldn't even deal with this. you know the bonnet plague wiping out half of europe they didn't have an answer for so when i look at today and i look at the fact that we're few years after the loss of that price signal of the basic foundation of the monetary organizing principle around the world then we have this pandemic that hits and it just seems like it's been we've
7:30 am
been here locked down for over 10 months and it just really seems like it's the equivalent of the vatican at the catholic church at that time of you know of the late 13 hundreds is like they don't have an answer they don't have a response to what is going on because they've lost that ability now with the dark ages back in the middle ages you know they ended when the florin was powerful and once again people had faith and trust. and the unit of account the organizing monetary principle price signals were sent back delivered back into the people when they needed it we're back into an age of superstition right so in the dark ages with the loss of the organizing principles of rome and greece we answer to a near a superstition yes generated by as you point out the vatican which is kind of like the chief cardinal overseeing all the superstitions and then that was interrupted by the interruption on the floor in.
