the mother brother. europe continues to be plagued by covert vaccine shortages italy has the e.u. drugs regulator to fast track the evaluation of russia's sputnik the japanese where probably head of an italian ngo lobbying for the russian gas. have it all going though in november when his family received sputnik the jobs back in november and now we have a high level of honesty body shop and we know that bush has great scientific traditions so we have no doubts about taking the bush job. u.k. food banks are inundated with pleas for help as growing poverty crisis these the most vulnerable having to choose between eating overheating gas shared what chad what he and many others are going through. some times we hear who really drive huge

storms somebody who lives a long time been found dead in the home for several dollars cringely but it could have happened to me and it would have checked top of. the 27 years amazon founder jeff bezos steps down as chief executive to follow more philanthropic pursuits. a very good morning to you from our team here in moscow this is r.t. international with me. now with europe's most vaccination program still plagued by job shortages in italy is now urging the e.u. drugs regulator to fast track the evaluation of russia's sputnik feature. we must not be afraid of the origins of vaccines what's important for us is the transition to the european medicines agency we have urged the e.u. to scientifically evaluate the russian vaccine and those from other countries the

situation in the country has been exacerbated by modernity saying it would deliver fewer doses the next spectate in february and the italian government has already said it would take legal action against both pfizer and astra zeneca over covert vaccine delays well earlier one of the world's most prominent medical journals the long said published a study which estimated the efficacy of the big v. at 90 percent one of the same time showing it was safe for the elderly and had no serious side effects we heard from antonia phallic oh the president of an ngo lobbying for approval of the in italy who's also had the job himself. in november my whole family received sputnik the jobs back in november and now we have a high level of antibodies my family and i trust science science has no borders we

know that russia has great scientific traditions so we had no doubts about taking the russians job as of today in many european countries including germany france italy would like to receive the russian vaccine requests have already been sent these days it is particularly clear as we see pfizer busters seneca and other companies delaying vaccine supplies and fortunately the virus has no limits as well so these countries have been forced to opt for the russian vaccine whether they want it or not in italy for example despite an unfolding governmental crisis news about the covers the front pages of virtually all the papers. the chairman of the italian medicines agency which grants a mission for the use of vaccines and it's a legally praised sputnik v. in one of his latest interviews. the e.u. has been determined to participate in the humbling of the block has demonstrated it however unfortunately this political will has not been successfully put into

practice for the war there is an issue of vaccines it turned out to be a very expensive odyssey he gave rise to huge competition germany signed a bilateral contract with pfizer for 300000000 doses it certainly did not go down well with other e.u. countries the deals which that you made with various suppliers are still being kept secret we still don't know their terms and why there are delays in the last few days supplies gas though apparently they are trying to overcome these delays related to the deadline which have partly been caused by virus so confusion. world leaders including the french president and the european commission head have published a joint article calling for a coordinated approach to fighting the pandemic the pandemic calls for a strong coordinated international response that rapidly expands access to tests treatment and vaccines recognizing extensive immunization as

a global public good that must be available and affordable for all however some of the e.u. the closest neighbors are yet to receive any jobs boldly and herzegovina kosovo and the republic of north macedonia are among the countries still empty handed more than a month after the european union started its vaccination campaign independent journalist liquidate believes the situation could have been handled better. it was very badly managed simply. signed a contract write contracts. you know picked they were completely wrong even if count. now about 2 percent of the population as being vaccinated with 1st thought was is really showing that it doesn't function it's only last friday that he asked about seneca vaccine it's only been accepted by europe on friday last week i

mean you know presented the e m a the european medicines which is he accepted it for the $65.00 plus but then some countries don't accept it cannot work like that if there is an ok european level there is an ok so it's it's not functioning. now to the u.k. well why did in poverty crisis has seen food banks flooded with pleas for help while unemployed and disabled people say that government handouts are no longer enough to make ends meet with spoke with david alan an m.s.f. left bedridden during the pandemic so he says these social care system is buckling under the weight of the pandemic sometimes we hear routed by a new storm and somebody who lives alone has been found dead in the home for several days. potentially that could have happened to me and nobody would have checked up on even if i did have a carer who would cut we could coming and how they would be allowed to unless it

was formally recognized as social care as a result of the pandemic of the lock down that really we've had to rely on of giving out food shopping delivered to us my shopping will normally comes to between $25.35 pounds per week but if you're shopping order is less than 40 pounds you get whacked with a 7 pound delivery charge so there are certain pounds i have not budgeted for and burial mind i had no increase in my income i have to find it from someone so i have to give something else up in order to get my fill it in the end the reality is for decades people living with long term conditions the abbey lincoln racism benefits i should. have not kept pace with the rise in the cost of living. and that was even before the pandemic hits was and has been compounded even more now we have

a 2 tier system so 100 people who get the universal credit have been given the additional support but those of us on legacy benefits have been given nothing. many disabled people in the u.k. feel they've been disproportionately affected by the pandemic with the majority saying they've spent more than usual on shopping and utility bills nearly 70 percent have revealed they've had to go without essential zi including food medicine and heating or many are also falling behind on their financial commitments charities and food banks across the u.k. have reported a significant increase in the number of people and families they've hired to help while others like david allen have had to have their food delivered adding another cost to an already slim pension for those with disabilities david alan again i've. got to go. and it seems quite convenient for our government to forget people like

us and what i find really hard to understand is the mixed messages that we get from government that have been statements about it's cheap it's on the crafter of people with long term conditions in their own home run who put him into care but we're not getting support to the small we actually need to have to remain around homes there are those people that really struggle he has been documented people have taken their own lives as a result of this too many people have been left behind in this to be people really really struggling to make him a hard decision nor do you have the heart the lights on do or have a me who do not have the heating on for a country i believe we're somewhere around the 5th 6th richest country in the world it's outrageous i'm sorry i think our government should be ashamed of themselves.

the world's richest person amazon founder jeff bezos has said on tuesday that he would be stepping down as the company's chief executive after 27 years and l.s.a.t. amazon employees he said it would remain evolved with amazon but dedicate much more time to charity work to make sure poke takes that at the story. everyone likes convenience but in this weird time where the pandemic the stores are all closed and nothing is as convenient as amazon we all use it but let's face it it's becoming harder and harder to ignore the teensy fact that there really a giant soulless monopoly and who better to represent that monopoly and everything that is wrong with having too much money and power then amazon c.e.o. jeff bezos well apparently he has seen the error of his ways and decided to change basis is officially stepping down as amazon c.e.o.

so focuses attention on nobler causes like philanthropy spaceflight journalism and given his track record these ventures are bound to be a huge success i mean the guy is full of life and optimism i find my work meaningful and fun and i get to work with the smartest most talented most ingenious teammates when times have been good you've been humble when times have been tough you've been strong and supportive and we've made each of the left. it is a joy to work on this team and look how happy amazon workers are. will you. be the part of false promises with these birds that you have a release for you don't you it's just too much you trust the driver is not enough to give you. a relief for this about protections as well pete was regarding that

yeah ok maybe not all amazon workers but c'mon it's understandable why a basis is stepping down i mean just imagine how tired he must be from all these workers strikes protests congressional grillings and throughout the years there's been a lot of very ungrateful amazon workers give us p p stop treating us like robots give us bathroom breaks shut up and work right either way basis should be stepping away from all this negativity it's bad for business and morale and i'm sure his dedication to philanthropy another virtuous ventures will produce a much better monopoly next time. well among other things jeff bezos says he wants to focus on his blue origin aerospace company well space used to be a strictly government dumain in the u.s.

it's now basically been outsourced to base also and in on the musk space x. with musk the eyes firmly set on getting a bigger piece of the pie and see america's rick sanchez than john hardy a way up the chances of a space race between the 2 tech giants. i think this is where we have to start because i read a lot about this yesterday after we watched this crash happened what is in a lot of mosques beef with the u.s. government 1st of all i love that graphic i mean i could watch it all day and it was about me. and by the way the space launch commentator said we need to work on that landing afterwards and anyway on the side so to answer your question basically just kind of you know boil it all down space x. has asked the f.c.c. the federal communications commission to allow the company space x. to basically lower the orbit of its star link satellite so space x. has been sending we've reported about all these satellites into orbit as part of

its newly broadband you know world internet broadband service it's called the starling constellation so space x. wants to lower the orbit of those satellites but then amazon objected no that's going to if interfere with our satellites as products as part of project kiper and the $3000.00 plus satellites that amazon is going to send in orbit you also yesterday the f.c.c. . u.s. government is keeping us from getting to mars he said yeah he also tweeted so when amazon raised this objection he said he fired off a tweet he said this does not serve the public to hamstring starling today for an amazon satellite system that is that best several years away from operation so it's a battle of the billionaires over their claim to space basically a right to orbit and meanwhile we're looking at pictures like this i understand. he's got to get a rocket up in space with 2 astronauts by the end of this year so it's not only you

know must battling and you know over you know control of orbit for their satellites but also it's a space race to send not only astronauts as part of the public private. or ship that space x. is involved in with nasa but sending civilians i can imagine that i would like to go up well you know i'm going to say yes but they've already said keep in mind they have already sent the dragon rocket remember with the 2 astronauts the nasa astronaut last year that we reported about so they're already working in that partnership the origin you know bay's osis blue origin i want to develop a partnership and work with nasa as well as part of this again public private cooperation you know in the space race so this is i mean you could say in a little i guess it's kind of foreshadowing of the space race to come between billionaires battling a jostling for position in orbit. coming up off the break the fate of western

australia finds itself between a rock and a hard place this wildfire there are some people in the town monday thank.

you. max keiser one more of my guide to financial survival this is. a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these hedge funds are simply not accountable and we're just getting more and more good that. totally destabilized the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for god's guys or for. welcome back across the poland in the u.s. where the vaccine demand also if stripping supply us president joe biden has his work cut out dealing with the pandemic ozzy america's foreign fronsac looks at how well biden is living up to his campaign promises these cars aren't driving into the

texas motor speedway for the next nascar race rather it's to get a covert 19 vaccine a goal give roughly $10000.00 vaccines per day if you want lots of people vaccinated you make it 1st person 1st come 1st serve if you want to reach the people who need it most need to be more targeted and to reach out to different communities and that's the problem state by state there's a different agenda but no matter the agenda there's still not enough currently the demand for vaccines is enormously higher than the supply and while that supply will get better it's probably not going to get much better for another month or 2 or more the clock is ticking with the c.d.c. projecting almost 550000 deaths by the end of february and more variants of covert 19 if people don't get vaccinated we're trying to calculate the numbers but probably somewhere in the $5.00 to $10000.00 range that will be going directly to

pharmacies in colorado 50 pharmacies in colorado is among the many states that will start feb 11th giving out cold. vaccines at local pharmacies the biden administration saying the program will ship directly to them but health experts don't think the vaccines will get there for weeks countries like mexico see the problems in the u.s. and have turned to russia for its sputnik v. vaccine along with other countries in europe while the us is still far behind countries like israel china and even bahrain denmark is already in the next phase joining with businesses to create a digital passport to show you've been vaccinated but. there's no central elements in dealing with this crisis is to bring the election down to create my billet is a mobile society and the government you know obviously an area. with media outlets and social networks increasingly scrutinized over their contents

and the study has challenged conservative claims the big tech companies intentionally censored their viewpoints are such as the new york university have found that liberal and conservatives have been similarly engaged in social media platforms as much as they condemn suppose social media favoritism conservatives appear to relish wielding the bias claim even though it's based on distortions and false. now big tech companies have clamped down on conservative figures before most notably donald trump forcing many to choose paula instead a controversial conservative platform has been shut down over claims it was helping incite violence and there's also been a backlash agave space book with the social network giant accused of censoring movements like the democrats walk away campaign last year. well meanwhile liberal cable news ratings in the u.s. have also been tanking since joe biden took office as networks struggle to adjust

to a new and more reserved white house journalist and commentator charge more say the liberal media outlets are facing an identity crisis. president jump was amazing ratings i mean they loved him and they made billions on president shop then the day you now see it running i mean he they could not look away from him and he and they had to keep up all of their ridiculous conspiracy theories they had to keep fear mongering about the man they had to be pushing every possible lie they could you know here's the 2nd coming of hitler or you know whatever the hell they are saying and so the ratings are tanking because joe biden is boring and nobody cares anymore what's going to happen is obviously these corrupt nasty mainstream news outlets are going to have to come up with something else nobody cares like rotavirus anymore so they're going to need to go after joe biden which they happily well they probably all want present malchus anyway so they could start you again we've seen this also

we've seen the mainstream media actually starting to. talk about hunter bides laptop you see them sort of lies as if this is new news story we see them being played a little seed about president biden another thing you know they could get a war they would love to have a war that would be good for ratings the thing is they've got to have we're going to go out something and they're going to in order to save themselves because they don't have their gold mine donald trump anymore. the u.s. is on the brink of a nuclear war with russia and china that's the stock warning from full stop well charles which it america's strategic come ons change the u.s. military must shift its principle assumption from nuclear employments is not possible to nuclear employment is a very real possibility and act to meet and deter that reality from the u.n. weapons inspectors. the apples warnings on a day interest may have. if the united states dare uses nuclear weapons against

russian forces or on russian soil the russians will have no choice but to respond this is what makes the admiral's statements about preparing for nuclear war so dangerous because there is no way of containing it if there is a nuclear war between the united states and russia it will be a general nuclear war which means not only will both nations be a male it but the world will also be destroyed as we currently know it the united states identified russia and china as clear adversaries requiring the build up of conventional military power to adequately contain the threat they pose both in europe in terms of the russians and in the pacific in terms of the chinese as things currently stand the united states does not have the conventional military force necessary to successfully engage with the guarantee of 'd conventional victory either russia or 'd china which means that should there be a conflict nuclear weapons would probably have to be employed on the part of the

united states it will take some time but you know we have ventured to get through the cold war and i'm hopeful we will eventually get through this. the state of western australia is county facing a disaster a double blow as raging bushfires thrust in the hundreds of people currently on the cover in a forest locked out of state officials have asked people to prioritise that immediate safety over the virus risk. western australia is currently in the midst of an unprecedented situation with financing disasters on 2 fronts the devastating bushfires. and the kind of an ongoing pandemic this is a situation along which we have never seen before. but

foreign policy writing quote my career has come full circle i started at the state department in 1993 and today it's the honor of my life to lead the department's women and men as the 71st secretary of state. how sweet sweet naturally blink in the rest of us corporate media has conveniently purposely forgotten blinking his role as iraq war cheerleader when he was the democratic staff director for the u.s. senate foreign relations committee under then chairman joe biden during that lovely little run up to the exercise in u.s. quagmire building known as the iraq war or as code pink's medea benjamin elegantly tweeted out so we will have a president who supported the invasion of iraq and the secretary of state who supported the invasion of iraq in the united states there is no accountability for supporting the worst foreign policy disaster in modern history only rewards

and speaking of the united states quagmire building one of the 1st challenges mr blinken will face as secretary of state will be the united states' role in the humanitarian crisis that is saudi arabia's war sorry intervention in yemen just this week common dreams reports that over 385 groups from around the world came together with a joint call monday to end the war and on the ground demonstrations took place in approximately 30 countries calling for the end of the yemen war this comes as the enter american commission on human rights just received a petition from the families of $34.00 yemeni victims of u.s. military actions within that country claiming that 6 drone strikes and one special operations raid targeted yemen's al bayda government during the obama trump administrations inflicted catastrophic damage on 2 families. catastrophic damage my friends that included the deaths of 9 children. so today let us examine

the united states' role in the ongoing devastation in yemen as we start watching the hawks. if you will. on a city street you want to. see see the prices you always stay i'll see. this great city this least systemic deception show which. brings up the bill as. well when watching the hawks. and i love the show and i'm sure i bring up yemen today because it is kind of one of those tragic quagmires and tragic as they say humanitarian crisis that is kind of lost in the shuffle of all the other humanitarian crisis the world's been dealing with and i don't say that like i mean slow comic when you say but it's true we're dealing with so much but yemen is important because this is one of those kind of form.
