in the world of politics or business i'm sure business i'll see you there. in the headlines this hour today as a spat between the e.u. and u.k. deepens as the you take $6.00 a french banks even before progs after mcclelland's government fails to fund it locals are outraged. it is a shame for us we have missed a good chance in france but surely because we are the priority is given to the united kingdom england is better managed because it has been liberated from the european union the government and here old are failing at everything. that's part times call for desperate measures there's been an italian town issues an order banning residents from getting sick because there was no doctor. i did it as a provocation 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. and world governments on people like struggle to get their hands on limited vaccine supplies we look at how some wealthy individuals finds novel ways to jump the queue. a very warm welcome from our team here in moscow you're watching aussie international with me becky our now we start with some breaking news that the center of bordeaux in france has been rocked by a powerful explosion at a residential building 3 people are being confirmed injured down 2 missing according to the emergency services the windows of several buildings nearby were blown out by the blast which is thought to have been caused by a gas leak or bring you more details on that story as they come in.

yet another vaccine spot 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 never before france itself when the french government refused to fully fund the job the u.k. stepped in they believed 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 necron has found himself in the firing line over the vaccine as government struggles to ensure supplies for the french population. reports from paris. fronts already feeling a little dejected after attempts by former su to coal company sanofi and the pastor institute failed to find a viable vaccine for cold feet 19 now officials must be weeping with anger. at french well never has developed

a vaccine but will sell the 1st doses to the u.k. . the manufacturing to. 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 units of really logging behind its former partner the u.k. now the round has seen the e.u. and the u.k. at log ahead 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 with the only but the company received a favorable offer from the u.k. that's though not going down well it seems that for once politicians from across the spectrum in france are in agreement they all fear yes the government failed to back the facts seem developer to specify what you mean what happened in the united kingdom the rolled out the red carpet for never they helped with financing 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 nugget is live in our french borders we are above all paying for the bend and men 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 a latest blow 2 going down here in france it is a long process. it said because france is the contrary of foster care and yet we see a lack of finance elect a founding elect of know how will the government and here are feeling get everything if. i find it a bit abusive excuse me for that term it's a little bit weird that the priority is given to the united kingdom while the vaccine is manufactured in france its books about 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 it done 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 france is reliant for the moment on the e.u. for it too says charlotte do you can ski r.t. paris elsewhere in the e.u. an italian town has had to resort to desperate measures to combat the virus with issuing a decrease forbidding 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 medic was to stay healthy that's why i forbade them from falling ill my ruling can hardly be enforced i mean that getting sick or not it is not down to ones who wish and individual can certainly take steps to avoid falling ill for example by wearing a mask searing 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 restaurants and museums 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 bunch of the british astra zeneca vaccine on france a day but that's yet to be confirms the matter of on a ferry believes major vaccine manufacturers are acting in their own interests. and soon i believe the pandemic is a problem that cannot be solved by law sadly we can confront it using vaccines however jabs are also becoming a problem because pharmaceutical companies are seeking to meet their economic

interests which did not respond to the collective interest thus we entered the domain of global geopolitics and political economy where 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 into 2022 but i do hope i'm wrong. the release of corona virus toxins and seeing governments and people alike scramble to get their hands on limited supplies of jobs but as it turns out it's not everyone is willing to wait their fats hood has done caught up with will 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 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

code 19 and the n.h.s. guidance is clear that local vaccination services must manage their appointment lists to ensure all appointments are 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.-a over naik major donors we're pleased that we have 500 new hope an appointment 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. american political activist anthony roche is right told us that the pandemic is simply said to highlight existing flaws in the health care system. we were going to see as we've seen in a broken health care system too often where the wealthy get taken care of and those 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 being hit the population is 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 wellington wells have seen a worrying spike in alcohol related deaths according to newly released figures now but it was dramatically when people began going into lockdown at 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 2090 it's the highest alcohol related death toll since records began and that's despite the widespread closure of pubs and bars alcoholic charities believe the pandemic is partly to blame. well it's hard to pinpoint the exact reasons behind the rice frontline services have

seen how the social isolation and exactly of living through a pandemic has led to an increase in potentially harmful drinking well your case not so low in terms of rising alcohol consumption during the pandemic with multiple reports released last autumn identifying a similar trend in the us earlier we spoke to dr james gill elector at work medical school about the. let's be very very clear we have seen a rise to cross the border around the whole use about one quarter of all people who drink alcohol have increased their consumption and some of those numbers have been staggering if we look at people who drink over 50 units a week that's more about 5 bottles of wine in the week that's gone up from 1500000 people before lock down to now over 2500000 people we sort 10 percent rise in acute intoxication deaths that was 352 people these deaths are avoidable

they're not nearly figures that these unfortunate people that have lost their lives due to fine tune our call and yes we have seen the highest levels since we started recording these in 2001 the effect of the pandemic probably isn't visible in these numbers yet and it's expected that it will be further consequences coming down the line so we need to act now to give people the support they need to overcome these alcohol as a coping mechanism it's not all doom and gloom though as the pandemic is 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 europe.

we started doing it in the 1st lockdown in april last year and we noticed that there was a great response. may have altered people who are happy to accept it who live up here as well as people who may not even have a home. those come after the break as a republican member of congress is stripped of her key posts some question whether a worrying president has been sad story and small after the great. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going for him to let it be an arms race in his off and spearing dramatic development only

personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. to progressives 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 believe in the be 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. welcome

back republican member of congress marjorie tail agreed and known for her controversial views on to on the un's 911 conspiracy theories has his house a decision by the u.s. house of representatives to expel her from cape 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 las 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 or with the 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 the 11 republicans while some believe it's unusual for one party to intervene in another party's committee assignments others fear a precedent of tips that's not expulsions may have been set with the democrats having thus i share of controversial characters. and 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 and 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 or 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 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 and forth and u.s. technology company has been accused of the illegal mass surveillance of people in canada and investigation by the canadian privacy commission alleges that new york based tech company clearview ai broke the law by sharing station 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 are 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 under a publicly available exemption and privacy laws where the u.s. company refutes the claim saying the information collected was publicly available and allowed under a canadian privacy law but some experts are questioning the clear view ai'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 a essentially a permanent police lineup 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 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 this technology and if it can be used and privacy problems aren't just limited to caliber as the popular video optic talk is being accused of a collecting data on people whether they're registered or not artie's polyploid 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 ticked off . 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 nothing about denies that they exist but when have we ever taken. for at sandown fake talk is 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 takes hold can identify you from your ip address mobile carry

a and finds out and even knows what device it is it's screen resolution telephone all theresa and operating system a journalist from vice made this discovery off asking take talks for all of the days that the hard on him 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 video you are when you watch the time spent on the to the 2nd and the actions he's 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 they were arch enemies don't want to meet your date with facebook just check your off facebook activity in facebook special things to do is join
