12:03 am
and the u.k. at loggerheads now that was initially of the astra zeneca vaccine but now is some of questioning whether they would have been better going it alone the european union is not the vaccine it is the virus the european union has terribly managed to cope with 19 try says it has shown it is not only useless but it is toxic for the european countries the distil looks in the french government says it had negotiated with only but the company received a favorable offer from the u.k. that though not going down well it seems that for once politicians from across the spectrum in france are in agreement they all theory as the government failed to back the facts developer i think what you mean what happened in the united kingdom the rolled out the red carpet for never they helped with finance and implementation they did everything to make it happen and we were not able to do that is such a waste that this regional golden legacy is live in our french borders we are above

12:05 am
it has been liberated the european union needs enormous constraints the european union the french government says it aims to offer the couvade job to all by the end of august and it's trying to speed up the rollout whether that though is possible is another question given that france is reliant for the moment on the e.u. for it deuces shoulder to even ski r.t. paris. elsewhere in the e.u. an italian town has had to resort to desperate measures to combat the virus with the mayor of a local town for bidding anyone in the area from getting sick. i have issued this ruling which is technically called an order i did it as a provocation with no doctor in our town it is impossible for us to get treatment so i had to tell my citizens that the only way possible to keep going without

a magic i was to stay healthy that's why i forbade them from falling ill my ruling can hardly be enforced i mean they're getting sick or not it is not down to one's wish and individual can certainly take steps to avoid falling ill for example as they were and must clear of gatherings and washing hands. italy was the epicenter of the corona virus outbreak in europe with the death toll topping 90000 last week the country relaxed coronavirus restrictions on monday in most regions with people now having greater freedom to travel as well as visit bars that restaurant sounds museums during the day when it's only has also seen vaccine shortages recently as mcgurn cut deliveries to italy and france in a blow to the vaccination plans the would be expected deliver the 1st batch of the british astra zeneca vaccine on saturday wouldn't couldn't be more welcome it was among a number of european countries a filed a petition with the e.u.

commission proposing that pharmaceutical companies also produce vaccines locally the mare of on a fairy believes that major vaccine manufacturers are seeking to profit. i believe the pandemic is a problem that cannot be solved by law. we can't comment on it using vaccines however jabs are also becoming a problem because pharmaceutical companies are seeking to meet their economic interests which do not respond to the collective interest thus we enter the domain of global geopolitics and political economy we're all now in the hands of pharmaceutical companies all of them are being driven by profit in my opinion 2021 will still be dominated by coded 19 due to delays in the vaccine campaign and production where liking far behind i'm afraid it will carry on evan into 2022 but i do hope i'm wrong the release of corona virus vaccines as seen governments and people are like scramble to get their hands on limited supplies of jobs but as it
12:08 am
turns out not everyone is willing to wait beth her has gone quarter with more. around the world people are racing to get cold vaccines that are often in short supply and even those whose job it is to be a good sports are often willing to cheat their way to the front of the line so football club for example which caught attention after getting their players vaccinated it is unacceptable to jump the queue ahead of people most at risk of cope with 19 and the n.h.s. guidance is clear that local vaccination services must manage their appointment lists to ensure all appointments to filled according to the club though those vaccines were going to be dumped anyway which makes everything better right after all it's not the only case when people were fast tracked to get these highly sought after covert shots this seems to be happening all around the world spanish officials for example caught right ahead of people in high risk groups in the u.k. a number of the very workers tasked with regulating vaccine distribution did the same thing and in the us those who could make generous donations are getting
12:09 am
a bit of gratitude in return d.m. over naik major dulness we're pleased that we have 500 new open appointments in the over they cood 900 faxing clinic beginning these often and tomorrow and next week of course the privileged elite have enough money to bribe their way into vaccination city if they want then there's the rest of society who have to resort to some good old fashioned stealing if they want to cheat all the while governments are still trying to work out how to deal with the line cutters and rule breakers in the health minister is serious about having a fair solution and there needs to be consequences for those who depart from it talk is good but as long as it's not turned into action the good citizen who waits his turn might be standing in line for a while american political activists down to the roaches ride told us that they punk demick has simply set up to highlight existing flow within the health care system. we were going to see them soon in a broken health care system too often where the wealthy get taken care of and those
12:10 am
who are the poorest and the most help don't this is really just a nother example of how cold it has exposed the broken social and health care systems of people who are. hit by the populations being hit the most more start with indigenous people black and brown people who also have been disproportionately impacted and were already in situations of having poor health were living in communities that were polluted when they are prioritized actually it makes for the pandemic to spread even more these are populations that tend to congregate more than more populations who can see apart from each other so let's go in and take care of those people and build this solution from the bottom up. worrying spike in alcohol related deaths that has been found in england and wales according to newly released figures numbers rose dramatically around the time the
12:11 am
coronavirus pandemic broke out last spring when people went into lockdown the 1st 9 months of last year alone so as a $5000.00 deaths. related jump of 16 percent when compared to the same period in $2819.00 it's the highest alcohol related death toll since records began nearly 20 years ago and that's despite the closure of the balls while britain's office for national statistics say is the reasons for this spike are complex alcohol charities think the reasons are simple well it's hard to pinpoint the exact reasons behind the rice frontline services have seen how the social isolation and executive living through a pandemic has led to an increase in potentially harmful drinking. there cane's not alone in terms of rising alcohol consumption during the pandemic with multiple reports released last autumn identifying a similar trend in the us we discussed the issue with the media and legal analysts
12:12 am
lionel and british politician broadcaster george galloway. the 16 percent increase in the death rate is only the tip of the iceberg some helplines are recording 500 percent increases in the number of people getting them up. in 5 of you adults report that they are drinking more a 3rd of those who are parents that's nearly one in 3 it's 30 percent exactly i think there's a problem we get into when we confuse oftentimes correlation with cause there's a lot of things that happen can come in italy that have nothing to do with each other this coming sunday it's a super bowl how long have you heard that domestic violence is linked or always goes up during the super bowl is that true is it and it don't all or the 2 connected i also will tell you that we have the most schizophrenia view of alcohol in this country i can tell you as
12:13 am
a former prosecutor that i have ruined thousands of people's lives who never intended to drink and drive yet we live in a country that has drinking and driving but has parking lots of bars so i don't understand if you take it is this huge admixture of inconsistent stimuli and correlation versus cause this is a game a mass and it's about finding balances in the risks of people going out on including going out to bars and restaurants clubs and so on balanced against the risk of them becoming depressed suicidal alcoholic drug addicted and involved in some of the old domestic violence that's the balance you have to seek and i will tell you that when kids were forced to spend a year let's say and hot in at home because of tuberculosis or whatever it affected them forever so we're going to be seen long terms effect of effects in years to come guaranteed. it's not all doom and gloom though as the pandemic has seen

people come together in the face of adversity including a german michelin starred restaurants that's now serving a free to the homeless in their. up does or shine then we started doing it in the 1st look in april last year and we noticed that there was a great response which. may have all the people who are happy to accept it live up here as well as people who may not even have a home. republican
12:15 am
member of congress marjorie green who was banned from both her congressional committees for remarks she's made has slammed the decision calling it a move against her vociferous they actually stripped my district of their voice they stripped my voters of having representation to work for them for the budget a successful business owner that knows how to make a profit not a lot that's what my district voted for me for congresswoman green advocated for the execution of a leader of this house she advocated for the execution of former president obama here's here's armed with a deadly assault rifle pointed towards 3 democratic members she encouraged violence against law enforcement and has a long record of racist anti-semitic and islamophobia comments well green was voted out by all the democrats with the support of 11 republicans while some claim it's unusual for one party to intervene and then another party's committee assignments others for this my sets an alarming president takes up the story. our dream taylor
12:16 am
green now that's a name you probably would have never heard if she hadn't been barred from serving in committees by the rest of the u.s. house of representatives why the stated reason is that she promotes q and on believes in conspiracy theories and has engaged in hate speech many americans are like blind sheep just go in through life not paying attention there is an islamic invasion into our government offices right now the so-called plane that crashed into the pentagon it's odd there's never any evidence for a plane and the pentagon now you might feel those are serious enough grounds for removing her from many committees however some republicans fear this sets a dangerous example for many years i've had to make the stuff decisions about removing members from their committee i do worry a lot about the president of another party choosing to do so does this mean that any member of the us congress could be subject to such treatment well not as far as
12:17 am
the democrats are concerned for example congresswoman ellen o'mara has been widely criticized been accused of anti-semitism for her comments about israel and about the 911 attacks and about her political opponents would be nice now is conspiracy theorists. worried it's opportunists it's grifters so if words deemed inappropriate by others gets you singled out in the u.s. congress perhaps ilana omar will be next but it's not just her new york representative alexandria kazuo cortez recently made headlines by accusing senator ted cruz of trying to kill her. i'm happy to work with republicans on this issue where there is common ground but he almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out saying that ted cruz personally tried to offer a c. because he allegedly had some role in inciting the capitol hill riot on january 6th
12:18 am
is a pretty big leap so is accusing another member of congress of attempted murder anough to get you banned from committees to be fair us mainstream media has embraced a o c is narrative about a near death experience in the capitol building it doesn't have to be real the threat for you to believe that women and you know he it wasn't surprising that given some of the rhetoric that we've heard from folks who participated in that it's not surprising that she was afraid for her life so with representative green being singled out because of her rather eccentric beliefs about laser beams causing wildfires do the democrats really mean what they say about bipartisanship i will be your president for all americans or all americans. and i promise you i will fight as hard for those who did not support me as for those who did joe biden says he wants not retribution but healing in america but it
12:19 am
looks like there's a fair bit of revenge going on at the moment it's very clear now to the american people on both sides of the aisle that joe biden's calls for unity were nothing more than just your verbiage and oral promises that again are not coming sure he will not say anything or do anything to stand up to members in his own party that are promoting really a one party system that's not what america is and frankly the 2 party system showing to not work as well right now because of the extremes on both sides and ostracisation of anybody who believes differently specifically come. democrats who will will attack you will come out you will try to silence anybody we always caution against even when you're as controllers in control one side has control and makes the laws or acts a certain way all that does is provide

a precedent foundation and justification for the other side your opposite side to do that later because there has been this system going back and forth. a u.s. technology company has been accused of the illegal mass surveillance of people in canada and investigation by the canadian privacy commission alleges the new york based tech company clearview ai broke the law by sharing facial recognition information with law enforcement agencies would clear view does is mass surveillance and it is illegal it is completely unacceptable for millions of people who will never be implicated in any crime to find themselves continually in a police lineup according to a report released on wednesday the company allegedly collected the personal data of users without their consent $3000000000.00 images of canadians including pictures of children are said to have been shared with the police report is found that the
12:21 am
personal information disclosed was used for quote inappropriate purposes and does not fall under a publicly available exemption in privacy laws the u.s. company has claimed that the information collected was publicly available and is permitted under canadian privacy law some experts are questioning the company's actions as well as the use of facial recognition in general. not everyone who uploads a photo to share with grandma on the internet expects to be have that photo put into essentially a permanent police line up for the use by the state for law enforcement purposes images were scrapes not just of adults but of children there's a huge number of of innocent young ones who have been caught up again in a perpetual police lineup who are subject to surveillance by the company or in the middle of a public conversation in canada and around the world about if facial recognition which is very privacy invasive which has the capacity to create regime of massive
12:22 am
valence can be used in a society where liberty and freedom is valued what this investigation does is raise the importance of that conversation and it's time now for some political action and some really hard conversations about if there is any social benefit of this technology and if it can be used. why not just because a with surveillance problems the popular video optic talk has been accused of collecting data on people whether they're registered or not or he's probably boyko explained it's meant to say at this point that the threat of the chinese government spying on you just isn't enough to put people off the wonderful world of tape. and even though there's no evidence to say that tech talk is working for the chinese or for receive it is still fine on you. even if you don't
