headlines in r.t. more vaccine woes for europe this time as the french president is criticized for failing to secure french vaccines ahead of the u.k. as his country struggles to get supplies it is a shame for us we have missed a good chance in france it's oil but we have the priorities given to the united kingdom england is better managed because it has been liberated from the european union while the government and europe are feeling get everything desperate times call for desperate measures the mayor half an italian town issues an order banning residents from getting sick to draw attention to the fact they have no doctors. out of the now i did it as a provocation my ruling can hardly be enforced i mean that getting sick or not it is not down to ones who wish an individual can certainly take steps to avoid falling ill and while governments and people alike struggle to get their hands on

limited vaccine a surprise we look at how some wealthy individuals find novel ways to jump the kid . hello there well can you watching r.t. international just gone 5 o'clock here in moscow to the french president emanuel macron has found himself in the firing line after failing to secure supplies of a french vaccine before the u.k. written stepped in after his government refused to fully fund the jap 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 the latest in a series of controversies over vaccine supplies involving the e.u. with more now from paris his charlotte the bits. france 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 liver has developed a vaccine but will sell the 1st doses to the u.k. . 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 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 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 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 fear yes 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 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 in the latest going down pit in for on us it is a lot less. hostile it said because france is the contrary of foster care and yet we see a lack of finance elect a finding elect know how well the government and he are failing at 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 is 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 and france 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 want 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 deuces shola do you can ski r.t. paris model an italian town has resorted to desperate measures to combat the virus with the mayor there issuing a decree for bidding anybody from getting sick to tour tension to the fact that the time does not have a doctor. 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. well italy was the epicenter of the corona virus outbreak in europe and the death toll topped 90000 last week however the country relaxed coronavirus restrictions on monday in most regions with people now having greater freedom to travel they can also visit bars restaurants and museums to well like the rest of the year 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 expects to receive its long awaited 1st batch of the british astra zeneca vaccine on saturday the 30 again believes that major vaccine manufacturers are acting in

their own interests and under me arsenal and i believe the pandemic is a problem that cannot be solved by law sadly we can come from 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 1900 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 or the rollout of vaccines 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 at the front of the queue on quarter explains. 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 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.-a 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 we were going to see. in a broken health care system too often where the well can get taken care of and those who are the poorest and the most help don't this is really just another example of how coded has exposed broken social and health care systems that

people who are. populations being hit the most more start with indigenous people black and brown people who also have been disproportionately impacted and we're already in situations of having poor how we're living in communities that were polluted when they are prioritized absolutely it makes for the pandemic to spread and 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 now england and wales have seen a worrying spike in alcohol related deaths according to the figures numbers rose dramatically when people went into lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic in the 1st 9 months of last year alone saw over $5000.00 alcohol related deaths that is a jump of 16 percent compared to the same period in 2019 and it is the highest alcohol related death toll since records began that's despite the widespread

closure of bars and pubs alcohol charities believe that 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. is not alone in terms of rising alcohol consumption during the pandemic with multiple reports released last autumn identifying a similar trend taking place in the united states earlier we spoke to dr james gill he's a lecturer at warrick medical school about the issue. but 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 at all or not 5 bottles of wine in the week that's gone up from 1500000

people before lock down to now over 2500000 people we saw a 10 percent rise in acute intoxication deaths that was 352 people these deaths are avoidable they're not nearly figures that these are unfortunately people that have lost their lives due to fights without hot 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 line so we need to act now to give people the support they need to overcome these alcohol as a coping mechanism that is naughty and clean because the pandemic has seen people come together in the face of sitting clothing a german restaurant that's now giving out free food to the homeless.

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. you watch not a celebrity this hour as a republican member of congress is stripped of her keep some question whether worrying precedent has actually been said we'll have a look at the story. in a couple of.

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 off and 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. to progressives a leftwing 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 do 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. again a republican member of congress 9 promoting conspiracy theories has been expelled from 2 committees however. the grain has hit back after being removed by the house of representatives 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 and 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 or she was voted out by all the democrats with the support of 11 republicans now while some believe it's unusual for one party to intervene in another party's committee assignments of the still you fear president of tit for tat expulsions is now between set with the democrats having their fair share of controversial characters to walk in looks at what could happen if the tables are 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 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 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 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 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 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 who will come out who will try to silence anybody we always caution against even when your party as controllers and control it 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 angela system going back and forth. u.s. technology company has been accused of the hell eagle mass surveillance of people in canada an investigation by the canadian privacy commission alleges that new york

based tech company clearly broke the rule by sharing facial recognition information with the word force and 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 well according to a report released on wednesday the company allegedly collected the person with data refuses without their consent 3000000000 images of canadians including pictures of children said to have been shared with the police the report claims that the personal information disclosed was use for inappropriate purposes and is not exempt from previously laws well in response the u.s. company says the information collected was publicly available and allowed on the canadian previously law but some experts so questioning their 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 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. i don't trumpeters line from the us

screen actors guild where he's been a member for 3 decades after the before machine in announce that they wanted to expel him with more his dimitri power. donald trump has quit the screen actors guild but that's after those guys decided to have a disciplinary hearing in wake of the capital riots this whole class is going to feel right in short this is kind of how it went down i'm sorry you're here to that and typical trump fashion before the meeting even took place he decided to take the initiative don't talk to me that way wrote a whole letter bashing the guild calling it the worst who can is your organization has done little for its members and nothing for me besides collecting jews and promoting dangerous un-american policies and. he went on to list all of his numerous achievements in the entertainment industry movies as t.v. appearances by his one of the most successful t.v.

shows in american history the apprentice the dream job the lies he even took credit for creating thousands of jobs that quote and as d.n.c. and fake news c.n.n. will assume we know what he's talking about but all this really just sounds like a typical trump tweet given that he can't actually tweet anymore i'm not going to go off and be sure so i guess these letters obtained by fox news are his new primary source of getting his message out it's a disgrace sick people and it's understandable his social media privileges probably won't be coming back anytime soon. and we did have and the movies he's been are getting lined up for editing. i like that idea that his cameo in home alone should be replaced with a 40 year old macauley culkin it's. all in all it doesn't seem like there's

anything he can really do to prevent himself from being erased from mainstream american culture but at least for now we have his occasional letters to keep us entertained. that brings you up to date that's how things are looking so far this saturday i will have more for you in about half an hour but don't forget we've got a web site for of stories too when you can find that at r.t. dot com. i don't think there's any perception united states that russia has some clear superiority over the united states and i think you see there's a fairly balanced relationship. in the nuclear streeter and i think why do you mean by the ministration wants to have negotiations for what we've talked about strategic stability they want predictability they want they want to secure situation in europe in asia and with russia and they want to be able to focus on
