is not down to one's wish and individual can certainly take steps to avoid falling ill. while governments and people are like struggle to get their hands on the limited vaccine supplies we look at how some wealthy individuals find novel ways to jump the queue. so i welcome you watching at international this saturday afternoon 2 o'clock here in moscow now the french president emanuel has found himself in the foreign line after failing to secure supplies of a french vaccine before the u.k. britain stepped in after the french government refused to fully fund the. 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 well it is
6:02 am
the latest in a series of control over seas over vaccine supplies involving the you with more now from paris his charlotte dubinsky. france was already feeling a little dejected after attempts by former su to call company sanofi and the pastor institute failed to find a viable vaccine for 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 firm to. consider a very quickly by united kingdom 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
6:03 am
signed up to this doing it all together which today to see units of really legging 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 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. i think what you mean what happened in the united
6:04 am
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 abandonment 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 going down here in france so it is a lot less. hostile it said because france is the contrary 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
6:05 am
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 is it daryn that all of the all 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 to says charlotte even ski r.t. paris now an italian town has had to resort to desperate measures to combat the virus with the main issuing a decree forbidding anybody from getting sick to draw attention to the fact that time does not have a doctor. e r r
6:06 am
r i have issued this ruling which is technically called an order i did it as a provocation but 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 one's wish an individual can certainly take steps to avoid falling ill for example by wearing a mask searing clear of gatherings and washing hands. well italy was the epicenter of the corona virus outbreak in europe and the death toll topped 90000 last week however the country did relax coronavirus restrictions on monday in most regions with people now having greater freedom to travel and they can also visit bars restaurants museums well like the rest of the u. italy has also seen vaccine shortages in the country has filed a petition with the commission pushing for the jobs to be made locally the country
6:07 am
does expect to receive its long awaited 1st batch of the british astra zeneca vaccine on saturday although that's yet to be confirmed the mayor of on the ferry again believes major vaccine manufacturers are acting in their own interests. i believe the pandemic is a problem that cannot be solved by law sadly we can come from it using vaccines however japs 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 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 covert 900 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. while the roller to vice seems has seen governments and people

alike scrabble to get their hands on limited supplies and some are going to great lengths to to make sure that they are the front of the kid strong quarter expects. 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 copd 19 and the n.h.s. guidance is clear that local vaccination services must manage their appointment lists to ensure all appointments 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.
6:09 am
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 cood 19 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 own culture that will american political activist anthony roche is right told us that the pandemic has simply served to highlight existing fills in the
6:10 am
health care system. we were going to see as we've seen 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 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 absolutely 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. england and wales
6:11 am
have seen a worrying spike in alcohol related deaths according to the new figures numbers rose dramatically when people went into lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic the 1st 9 months of the last year alone soaring over $5000.00 alcohol related deaths that suggest of 16 percent compared to the same period in 2019 and it's the biggest alcohol related death toll since records began that's despite the widespread closure of bars and pubs alcohol 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 the u.k.'s not alone though in terms of rising alcohol consumption during the pandemic with multiple reports released last autumn identifying a similar trend to you in the united states earlier we spoke to dr james gill he's a lecturer medical school about the issue. let's be very very clear we have seen
6:12 am
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 the 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 merely figures that these unfortunate people that have lost their lives due to fights without hall 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 will be further consequences coming down the
6:13 am
line so we need to act now to give people the support they need to overcome these alcohol as a coping mechanism but it's not autumn in the end because the pandemic has thing people come together to give in the face of adversity including a german mitchell in star restaurant that is now giving at free food to the homeless in nuremberg. does or from there we started doing it in the 1st lockdown in april last year and we noticed that there was a great response. of all the people who are happy to accept it who live up here as well as people who

may not even have a home. now in other news this afternoon the center of bordeaux in france has been rocked by a powerful explosion at a residential building 3 people have been confirmed injured and 2 missing according to the emergency services the windows of several buildings nearby were blown out by the blast which is thought of being caused by a gas leak we'll bring you more details of course as they come in. what's your face to lead feed this hour as a republican member of congress is stripped of her post some question whether a worrying precedent has now been set we'll have that story with others take in a couple of minutes.
6:15 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the progressives a left wing are failing continuously to impact any social reform that would satisfy their objectives because they refuse to look at the money itself leaving the figure out money they believe the central bank. they believe they believe they believe the words coming out of their mouth that's the 1st fail and then every single fail comes after that foundational failure to understand the money itself when it's not backed by anything it's just paper and only
6:16 am
a few people control it. welcome back he would take now republican member of congress marjorie taylor green in one for promoting conspiracy theory says he had a decision by the u.s. house of representatives to expel her from 2 committees. 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 armed with a deadly assault rifle pointed towards 3 democratic members she encouraged violence
6:17 am
against law enforcement and has a long record of racist anti-semitic and islamophobia comments motivated by all the democrats with the support of 11 republicans while some believe it is unusual for one party to intervene in another party's committee assignments of his fear that a precedent of tit for tat expulsions may have been set for the democrats having their fair share of controversial characters to more pain looks at what could happen if the tables were turned. our dream 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
6:18 am
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 $911.00 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
6:19 am
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 as 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
6:20 am
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 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
6:21 am
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 attack you will come out you will try to silence anybody we always caution against even when you're ready as controllers and 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 you're opposite side to do that later because there has been this angela system going back and forth. now a u.s. technology company has been accused of illegal mass surveillance of people in canada an investigation by the canadian previously commission alleges that new york based tech company cleave broke the law by sharing facial recognition information with the law enforcement agencies would clear view does is mass surveillance and it is
6:22 am
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 said to have been shed with the police report is found that the personal information disclosed was used for quote inappropriate purposes and does not fall under a publicly available exemption in previous evil or so the u.s. company refused the claim saying the information was sort of information collected was publicly available and allowed under canadian previously law but some experts are questioning the clear 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
6:23 am
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 benefits this technology and if it can be used and privacy problems aren't just limited to canada there is the popular video app take talk has now been accused of collecting data
6:24 am
from paypal whether they are registered or not but more on this his party boy. 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 talk. and even though there's no evidence to say that take talk is working for the chinese or for its leaves it is still spying on you. even if you don't have to take into account do you remember when facebook was slammed for creating profiles for 'd people who haven't even created an account. i'm not familiar with the design about denies that they exist but when have we ever taken the buzz word for it so now take talk is doing exactly the same thing if you thought you'd outsmarted take talk by bingeing on its content anonymously. you'd be
