the headlines this saturday as path between the e.u. and u.k. deepens as the u.k. secure was a french vaccine before france after a crohn's government fails to fund its locals albury. it is a shame for us that we have missed a good chance in france in the way it's oil with it we have the priority is given to the united england is better managed because it has been liberated from the european union will the government and europe are feeling get everything. but times call for desperate measures is the mare of an italian town issues an order banning residents from getting sick because they have no doctor. i did it as a provocation and it's my ruling can hardly be enforced i mean that getting sick or not it is not down to one's wish and individual can certainly take steps to avoid

falling ill. while governments and people struggle to get their hands on a limited vaccine supply as we look at how some wealthy individuals finds novel ways to dump thank you. very well welcome to my team here in moscow you're watching r.t. international with me to. start off with yet another vaccine spat between the u.k. and the e.u. it comes as the u.k. secures millions of doses of a vaccine produced by a french firm fell never before france itself the u.k. stepped into a bank research at the job when the french government refused to. believe straight away in our inactivated vaccine they took all the risks and immediately forwarded 96000000 euros to use before the end of december president emanuel mccrone has

found himself in the firing line over the vaccine as his government struggles to ensure supplies for the french population soldier belsky reports from power. punts was already feeling a little dejected after attempts by pharmaceutical company sanofi and the pastor institute failed to find a viable vaccine for cold feet 19 now officials must be weeping with anger. that french well never has developed a vaccine but will sell the 1st doses to the u.k. of a manufacturing factory. consider a very quickly by united case was very important so. we will deliver those to. the u.k. 1st the e.u. is already in a state of panic over what many deemed to be

a catastrophic rollout of its vaccine program now member states such as france said signed up to this doing it all together which today to see and it's a really lugging behind its former partner the u.k. now the round has seen the e.u. and the u.k. at loggerheads now that was initially of the astra zeneca vaccine but now as some are 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 locks in the french government says it had negotiated we've only but the company received a favorable offer from the u.k. that's though not going down well and 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 happened in the united kingdom the

rolled out the battle corporate full well never 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 all paying for the band and many of our sovereignty in favor of other emerging powers in globalization since the start of this crisis we have been told about health sovereignty reindustrialization relocation and that is not what we are doing so how is this in the latest going down here in france so it is a long. process he said because france is the contrary of us here and yet we see a lack of finance and lack of founding a lack of know how all the government and here all are feeling that everything. is . i find it a bit abusive excuse me. with the right word to given to the united kingdom.

manufactured wrong. i hope that the goal is to make a good vaccine but it is a loss it is a shame for us we have missed the mark we have missed a good chance in france this is it darn it all of england is better managed because it has been liberated from the european union and these enormous constraints that constitute the european union the french government says it aims to offer the covert job to all won't it by the end of august and it's trying to speed up the rollout whether that though is possible is another question given that fronts is reliant for the moment on the e.u. for it too says charlotte do you can ski r.t. paris. elsewhere in the u.k. an italian town has had to resort to desperate measures to combat the virus excuse me with the matter of a local town issue and it creates

a 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 medical i was to stay healthy that's why i forbade them from falling ill and my ruling can hardly be influenced i mean they're getting sick or not it is not down to one's wish an individual can certainly take steps to avoid falling ill for example if they were in a mask searing a 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 but can't really relax coronavirus restrictions on monday in most regions with people now having greater freedom to travel as well as visit bars restaurants and museums during the day well like the rest of the e.u. italy has also seen vaccine shortages with the country filing

a petition with the e.u. commission pushing for the jobs to be made locally the country expects to receive its long awaited 1st batch of the british astra zeneca vaccine on saturday but that's yet to be confirmed they met on a ferry believes the major vaccine shortage is major vaccine manufacturers are acting in their own interests. 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 problems because pharmaceutical companies are seeking to meet their economic interests which do not respond to the collective interest and thus we enter in 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 delays in the vaccine campaign and production where liking far behind i'm afraid it will carry on and into 2022 but i

do hope i'm wrong. the release of coronavirus vaccines as seen governments and people are like scrabble to get their hands on limited supplies of jobs but as it turns out not everyone is willing to wait beth said her and his donald 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 lines the 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 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 called 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 and can political activists down to the religious right told us that the

pandemic has simply said to highlight the existing flow within the health care system. we were going to see them seated in a broken health care system are too often where the wealthy get taken care of and those who are the poorest in the most help don't this is really just a nother example of how coal did has exposed the broken social and health care systems of people who are being 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.

and yours and wales have seen a worrying spike in alcohol related deaths according to newly released figures numbers rose dramatically when people began going into lockdown of the beginning of the pandemic the 1st 9 months of last year alone so over $5000.00 alcohol related deaths a jump of 16 percent compared to the same period in 2019 it's the highest alcohol related death toll since records began and that's despite the widespread closure of the boss alcohol charities believe the pandemic plays a role 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 well your case 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 media and legal analysts line

british politician on food costs or 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 picking them up. in 5 of u.k. other olds 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 the domestic violence is linked or always goes up during the super bowl is that true is it anecdotal 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 a former prosecutor that i've 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 in math it's about finding balance isn't that 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 or call it drug addicted and involved in it's also the mastic violence that's the balance you have to seek i will tell you that when kids were forced to spend a year let's say and hot and at home because of tuberculosis or whatever it affected them forever so we're going to be seeing 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 restaurant that is now giving out free food to the homeless in your. it's so it i am sick of their food supply all this. stuff. up goes or from them we started doing it in the 1st lockdown in april last year and we noticed that there was a great response. have all the people who are happy to accept it who live up here as well as people who may not even have a home. coming up after the break as a republican member of congress is stripped of hokie post some question whether

a worrying president has been set but that story and small coming up after the break. yes. thank you. the progressive the left wing are failing continuously to impact any social reform that would satisfy their objectives because they refuse to look at the money itself yes they believe in the figure out money they believe the central bank they they believe ben bernanke the they believe jay powell they believe the words coming out of their mouth that's the 1st fail and then every single fail comes after that that foundational failure to understand the money itself when it's not backed by anything it's just paper and only a few people control it. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one from day shouldn't let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back the republican member of congress marjorie taney green known for her controversial views on cuba and 911 conspiracy theories have his turn out to the decision by the u.s. house of representatives to expel her from key posts 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 she is 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. green was voted out by all the democrats with the support of 11 republicans while some believe it's unusual for one party to intervene in another party's house committee assignments this fear president of tit for tat expulsions may have been says with the democrats having their fair share of controversial characters artie's caleb maupin looks at what could happen if the tables were turned. marjorie taylor 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 precedent of another party choosing to do it so does this mean that any member of the us congress could be subject to such treatment well not as far as 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 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 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 specific rick. democrats who will will attack you will come out who will try to silence anybody we always caution against even when your party as controllers and control one side has control and makes the laws or acts a certain way all that does is provide a precedent a foundation and justification for the other side your opposite side to do that later because there has been this system going back in for. a u.s.

technology company has been accused of the illegal mass surveillance of people in canada and investigation by the canadian previously commission alleges the new york based tech company clearview ai broke the law by sharing facebook 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 images of canadians including pictures of children all said to have been shared with the police the report has found that the personal information disclosed was used for quote inappropriate purposes and does not fall on the publicly available exemption in privacy laws where the u.s. company has claimed that the information collected was publicly available and

allowed on the canadian privy seal or some experts are questioning the company's actions as well as the use of facial recognition and general. not everyone who uploads a photo to share with grandma on the internet expects to be have that photo put into a essentially a permanent police line up for the used by the state for law enforcement purposes images were scraped 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 they show recognition which is very privacy invasive which has the capacity to create regime of massive 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. for surveillance problems are just limited to calendar as the popular video up tech talk has been a case of collecting data on paypal whether very registered or not artie's polly boy explains. 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 tapes. 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 have a coke account do you remember when facebook was slammed for creating profiles for people who have even created an account. i'm not familiar with but there's up about

denies that they exist but when have we ever taken. for at the top doing exactly the same if you thought you'd outsmarted take talk by bingeing on its content anonymously. you'd be wrong an article in vice has revealed that take home can identify you from your ip address mobile carrier and find them and even know what device is it's screen resolution telephone operators and operating system a journalist from vice made this discovery off asking take talk for all of the days that the how to on hand and he was very surprised to find out that even if you don't have an account take don't keep a database of the videos you who are when you watch the time spent on the

to the 2nd and the actions you've taken and everything out down to the finest details so essentially if you're doing any account less browsing it's not very secret and guess what you may have thought that they were arch enemies don't want to meet your date with facebook just check your off facebook activity and facebook best thing to do is. going to try and live in the amazon and. all waving all thanks for joining us here on our national we're back in 30 minutes with the latest headlines. secret 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 allowed to leave prison was located and only cia people had

access to the story for investigators hell they uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. you graded nor. for. playing for justice on r.t. . the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person. thinks. we dare to ask.

you. you're watching going underground on what would have been the 110th birthday of ronald reagan and now 40 years on from his spearheading the neoliberal economics of rule of daily lives a new report from the united nations special report or in extreme poverty and human rights suggests that neo liberalism may not be fit for purpose when it comes to tackling poverty that alone recovering from the devastation of the coronavirus at least when it comes to the european union special rocketeer alleviate the shooter now joins me from brussels levey thanks so much for coming on i mean the you is in

the news for nearly destroying the good friday agreement for a vaccination war your report suggesting that well what's called off from the greatest capitalist project in history is not fit for purpose how did you arrive at that conclusion. but his injury my report tries to show that the e.u. is not willing critz to combat poverty because it has organized competition between the member states in taxation matters in the area of wages and and social contributions by employers we refer to this as fiscal dumping and social dumping and also because it imposes on member states a very tight macro economy straight jackets in order to avoid macroeconomic imbalances across the e.u. this makes it very difficult for states to spend money on social investments at the risk of increasing their public that until today is a unique opportunity to really rethink these issues and perhaps eventually create

be used to it to alleviate poverty within its borders i'll get to the macroeconomic pressures by virtue of the euro arguably in a 2nd but do you think there is recognition of what you just said in that as you say in the report there is no target any more poverty reduction in the 2020 body target of 20000000 was missed by 8700000 men women and children. in the 2010 your 2020 strategy had been announced and the objective was to reduce poverty by 20000000 people by 2020 this time it was entirely missed and i think it has traumatizing european decision makers who do not want to commit to a new targets which they. may be difficult to reach setting targets mean accepting accountability for results and this is something which is difficult to obtain i mean.
